Chapter 586: One Step Back for Two Steps Forward Tomorrow

Because of Elder Guan He’s discreetness, the following business had progressed abnormally smooth. Those leaders of the Red Water Town have lost their authority to speak and could only drink alcohol to drown their sorrows. As they watched everyone of the Plain Field Town were in high spirits as if they were celebrating a holiday, Qin Wei and the others had sorrowfully became aware that most likely, the superiority held by the Red Water Town for the past hundreds of years to the Plain Field Town would end.

Thinking here, they felt surges of disappointment inwardly. However, upon seeing Elder Guan He treated this young man respectfully as if they had become close comrade-in-arms after converting from enemy into a friend, this situation caused them to emerge a sense of defeat in which they were incapable of reversing a desperate situation.

Regarding the problem of the two town’s boundary, Elder Guan He used a form of negotiation tone to ask for Qin Wushuang’s advice out of the norm.

Qin Wushuang looked at Qin Yi and asked: “Forefather, for this mine, how would you think it’s the best way to allocate it?”

Qin Yi was not a blindly powerful person for he knew the principle of knowing when to stop. Elder Guan He had appeared rather courteous, yet per the current situation, he was restraining his fear against Wushuang’s potential, reputation and connections. It would be inappropriate to act outrageously as he said: “Per the allocation in the history, the Plain Field Town had at least occupied eighty percent of it. At most, the Red Water Town takes twenty percent. However, the convention in the past years were to divide the extraction evenly. We are all part of the Qin Clan. Indeed, it would not look good if we were to stir trouble for these matters. Per the old rules, how about let’s still divide it evenly, what do you think?”

Qin Wushuang turned to look at Elder Guan He. Initially, Elder Guan He thought Qin Yi would demand an exorbitant price and ask for all the eighty percent territory. Hearing the words from Qin Yi, it was unexpected that he were to maintain the rules and divide it evenly. However, since the other party was already laying low, Elder Guan He knew that if he were not to know when to stop, most likely it would become unreasonable.

“It’s rare for Patriarch Qin to be so generous, let’s do it as you say. Today both parties should sign a contract. With the proof, it would save unnecessary future dispute.”

Upon hearing the words of Elder Guan He, Qin Wushuang secretly swore at this old fox’s cunning aspect. When hearing his words, it seemed that Elder Guan He was been considerate for the weak Plain Field Qin Clan. In fact, Qin Wushuang knew that he was worried of him becoming even stronger and would fall back off the deal. When they had come to a decision now, even if Qin Wushuang had become domineering in the future, it would be easy for them to reason for themselves with the contract in hand.

However, Qin Wushuang did not wish to nag on these little details and it would be inappropriate for him to fix his eyes on this tiny mine. Since Qin Yi felt it would not be a problem to divide the allocation evenly, he would not need to muddle into this matter.

After coming to a decision, an initially life and death farce had ended coming to everyone’s delight and satisfaction.

After Elder Guan He left with people of the Red Water Town, finally the happiness repressed by people of the Plain Field Town had exploded. The way those disciples of the Plain Field Town looked at Qin Wushuang could no longer be described as “adoration”.

Those busybodies of the Plain Field Qin Clan flocked in groups for the wish to have a glimpse at Qin Wushuang’s graceful bearing.

However, Qin Wushuang pulled Qin Yi aside separately. In his heart, he still had some questions in which he wanted to ask.

Seeing the seriousness from Qin Wushuang’s complexion, Qin Yi asked: “Wushuang, what’s the matter?”

Qin Wushuang asked: “Forefather, when I was at the human countries, the line of the Qin Clan had a few population losses for the able-bodied men were transferred. They should have come to the Heavenly Emperor Mountain. Would you have heard about this matter?”

Qin Yi was somewhat at loss as he shook his head: “Is there such a thing? Since the Plain Field Town had lost the brothers, there were no other information.”

Qin Wushuang was somewhat disappointed. It seems that Qin Yi, the Forefather should haven no clue regarding those missing population.

“In general, it’s normal for the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan to transfer personnel as they governed the Qin Clan in the world. However, the human countries was faraway, they should not have not asked for people from there? Besides, when second senior brother went exile into the human countries, how would anyone of the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan knew about it?”

Qin Yi’s words made Qin Wushuang felt even more confused. However, he decided to not think about these matters for now. In the future, he would ask the Third Chief when there’s an opportunity.

Having stayed at the Plain Field Qin Clan for two days, Qin Wushuang saw the lifestyle of the clansmen were incredibly quiet and contended. It was a completely different lifestyle than the Aspiring Throne Mountain.

Inwardly he thought: “This Plain Field Town is a livable place. If the situation at the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan were not so chaotic, it’s suitable to live at this Plain Field Town. I see father longed to return to his hometown. In the future, when the opportunity arises, it would rather be nice for the family to come to live here.”

As Qin Wushuang thought it this way, he told his thoughts to Qin Yi. Of course, Qin Yi had welcomed this idea as he said with a laughter: “Wushuang, if your father is willing to come back to the Plain Field Town, I promise he will be most welcomed.”

Qin Yi also know how to be considerate. Now, after getting suppressed for hundreds of years, the line of the Plain Field Town finally had a chance to be bold and elated. However, everything were tied to Qin Wushuang. Regarding of how much Qin Wushuang was willing to exert his efforts for the Plain Field Town totally depends on how much affection he has towards them.

If one just looked in terms of the relationship of the bloodline, a dozen or twentyish generations had passed until Qin Wushuang’s generation. In fact, the bloodline between them were thin.

However, it would be a different situation if Qin Wushuang’s father was willing to return to the Plain Field Town. Certainly by that time Qin Wushuang would be pouring efforts with all his hearts.

With this consideration, of course Qin Yi had raised his hand to welcome them.

Under the cheerful send off from Qin Yi and all clansmen of the Plain Field Qin Clan, Qin Wushuang and his group left the town and returned to the Aspiring Throne Mountain.

When he returned to the Ascending Dragon Slope, Qin Wushuang realized much more core disciples than the previous days had appeared. At the Ascending Dragon Slope, one could see the return of the core disciples from the outside from time to time.

Although core disciples had usually not appeared, all of them knew each other. When the saw Qin Wushuang’s strange face, all of them felt somewhat strange. A few of them even greeted at Qin Wushuang.

“Are you new?” The person who asked this question was Qin Wushuang’s neighbor. This core disciple had a forthright build. Although he was only at the Transformation Void Martial Stage, it was clear that he was young.

Qin Wushuang nodded with a smile: “Just came for a few days.”

“Then you must call me Senior Brother, ha ha, since I came here before you! I’m Qin Lan, you?” That person extended his hand with a friendly manner.

“Qin Wushuang.” Qin Wushuang shook hands with that Qin Lan. Both gave a light smile and appeared to have connected at a deep level with each other.

“Qin Wushuang? When Qin Lan heard this name, he was slightly stunned, “Recently I heard there is a young man from the Human Countries named Qin Wushuang, could it be you?”

“Indeed, there is only one of me, who is named as Qin Wushuang and from the human countries.” Qin Wushuang gave a light smile.

“Ha ha, so it’s you. This time when I returned to the mountain, it seems everyone was discussing about you, they said you have done some extraordinary thing. Just exactly what have you done? Tell me about it.” Although Qin Lan was tall and lofty, his gestures still appeared to possess the innocence of childhood.”

Qin Wushuang knows that everything he had done were only known to those higher-ups at and above the level of the Elders. Although core disciples held equivalent position as the Elders, clearly they had not fall behind and not received the information.

“In fact there’s not much, I just fought a few times with the Heavenly Luo Daoist sect.” Qin Wushuang laughed and asked, “Senior Brother Qin Lan, how many years have you lived at this Ascending Dragon Slope?”

Qin Lan gave a carefree laugh: “I was here 6 month before you. Most likely before you lived here, I am the last one. You come from the human countries, I come from the Heavenly One prefecture Qin branch. Ha ha, speaking of it, we are all properly raised disciples of the Qin Clan from beneath the feet of the Aspiring Throne Mountain.”

“The Qin Clan of the world are one. Whether you are born at the feet of the Aspiring Throne Mountain, wouldn’t it all be the same?”

Qin Lan smiled bitterly and said: “Whether we are the same, soon you will experience it. Perhaps in the eyes of the higher-ups, the value of the Core disciples is the same. To many core disciples coming from better background, they still have a sense of superiority deeply from their bones. Only, fortunately the majority of the core disciples are not that senseless.”

Upon hearing Qin Lan’s tone, clearly he had suffered in terms of this aspect. Qin Wushuang only laughed and did not chase to ask. He did not wish to ask about these quarrels when he was fresh off the boat.

Coming to the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan, he never thought of competing with people of the Qin Clan.

Seeing Qin Wushuang only smiled and did not speak a word, Qin Lan patted Qin Wushuang’s shoulder: “Junior Brother, regardless, if you encountered any unfair business, remember my advice, refraining oneself in the moment leads to calming down, one step of concession may enable you a higher flight.”

After he had finished speaking, Qin Lan walked away slowly. From his pretentious mature tone, Qin Lan should have went through some suffering.

Qin Wushuang shook his head with a bitter smile and walked into the yard.

…

On the other hand, after Elder Guan He had left the Red Water Town, he returned quickly to the Aspiring Throne Mountain with a load of worry on his mind. While at the Plain Field Town, he exerted efforts to control his emotions and chose not to fight against Qin Wushuang. It was because he had heard about Qin Wushuang’s way of doing things and did not want to lose his stance.

In fact, upon having lived for a few hundreds of years, Guan He was never a kind person. He only took a step back for he was restraining his fear of Qin Wushuang’s reputation gained after battling with the Heavenly Luo Daoist sect.

He was worried of his lifetime worth of brilliance gets destroyed in a short moment. This time, he was returning to the Aspiring Throne Mountain for Qin Wushuang’s matter.

After he had returned to the Aspiring Throne Mountain, Elder Guan He went to visit a person the first instant. This person’s position at the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan was much higher than him.

He was one of the top ranking Honored Warrior among the twelve Honored Warriors of the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan, Honored Warrior Zhi Huai.

Zhi Huai was at a similar age with Guan He and of the same generation. Only, Zhi Huai’s talent and power was higher than Elder Guan He. Thus, up to today, his position was also much higher than Guan He.

Hearing that Elder Guan He was paying a visit, Honored Warrior Zhi Huai had guessed what had happened. He let his trusted aide guide Elder Guan He to a secret place.

When two old friends and buddies saw each other, their frame of mind was incredibly complicated. Clearly, each of them had known what they were thinking.

“You went back to the Red Water Town?” Zhi Huai asked straight to the point.

Guan He did not hold back as he nodded: “Yes.”

“That Qin Wushuang also went back to the Plain Field Town?”

Guan He gave a long sigh: “Yes, in the end he has gone back. I never thought… I truly never thought about it. Honored Warrior, did you ever thought of such situation would happen today?”

Expression less, Honored Warrior Zhi Huai said indifferently: “Regardless of if we had expected it, the development of the matter to this extent is not the worst. At least, I did not seem to see that Qin Wushuang intended to deal with the old debt.”

Elder Guan He also gave a long sigh: “Despite of Qin Wushuang’s young age, he was deeply sophisticated. Who knew of what he was thinking?”

In the middle of their conversation, suddenly, Honored Warrior Zhi Huai’s spiritual perception was stirred as he took out the communicate jade plate. Almost at the time, Guan He also had a similar reaction.

“It’s the Chief calling everyone to gather!”

Honored Warrior and Elder Guan He did not dare to neglect as they rushed towards the Upright Morality Hall.
