Late at night, the courtyard in the east of the city was pitch black and silent.

Suddenly, a black shadow climbed over the courtyard wall, and with a slight tap of its toes from the ground, it rose into the sky again. The movements were very gentle, and did not attract the slightest notice from the disciples of the night watch.

In a flash, the black shadow passed through the house and courtyard with lightning speed, and went straight to the master's bedroom.

Tonight, sleeping in the master's room was none other than the head of the Qin family, Qin Ming.

The black shadow flew to the ground without making a sound. Under the moonlight, Qin Ku's straightforward and dignified face was revealed.

Standing in the middle of the courtyard, Qin Ku looked around cautiously, and his right hand tightened the handle of the Changkong Knife a few points tighter.

At this moment, the knife was unsheathed, and the only way to return was to see blood.

The little eyes are focused, and the blink of an eye has imprinted all the surrounding environment into his mind. Eventually, two grim gazes shot straight to the tightly closed door ten paces away.

The enemy who killed his father was close at hand, and the monstrous killing intent quietly climbed from the bottom of his heart, penetrating through the five internal organs, integrating into the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, and finally breaking through the shackles of the body and escaping between heaven and earth.

One step, two steps, three steps

Qin Ku held the knife in one hand and approached the door step by step, his heartbeat becoming more and more rapid with the heavy footsteps.

"You're finally here. ”

Suddenly, a sneer full of banter sounded from the room, and Qin Ku's frightened face changed, and his feet subconsciously took a few steps back.

However, before he could escape, dozens of torches suddenly appeared in the dim courtyard, illuminating the dark courtyard as bright as day.

At the same time, dozens of Qin clan disciples armed with swords and swords quickly poured in from all directions, surrounding Qin Ku in the blink of an eye.

"Squeak"

There was a soft sound, and the door was left and right. Qin Ming, who was refreshed, slowly walked out of the room in the company of Qin Da, Qin Er, and Qin San.

"You, like your father, claim to be affectionate and righteous, but in fact you are stupid. Qin Ming looked up and down at Qin Ku, whose face was sinking like water, and said with a smile, "At the beginning, your father finally lost his life because of his brotherly affection with me. Today, because of your love for Liu Xunyi, you are willing to throw yourself into the net. ”

"Nonsense" Seeing Qin Ming pretending, Qin Ku couldn't help but be angry in his heart, evil to courage, and said disdainfully, "How can a selfish and despicable villain like you understand what love is"

"Since ancient times, the winner is the king, and the loser is the villain. How can there be any right or wrong, and how despicable" Qin Ming laughed instead of being angry, "Your father has been valued by his elders since he was a child, how can he have experienced the taste of being left out by others, he doesn't know at all, when a person tries his best to prove himself, but is treated as nothing by others. To be windy and rainy, of course, love and righteousness are important, but if he is like me, he can only come second in everything, I am afraid that what he does will be even more despicable than mine. ”

"You think everyone in the world cares about fame and fortune as much as you do" Qin Ku sneered, "You're wrong"

"Look at yourself," Qin Ming interrupted mercilessly, "If your father loses his identity as the son of the Qin family, he will be the same as you are today." You are the true portrayal of your father in the face of adversity, selfish, greedy, hypocritical, cunning"

"You fart"

"Bold" Seeing Qin Ku's disrespectful words, Qin Dahu was stunned, and reprimanded angrily, "The lord of the mansion is your elder anyway, how can you not be big or small"

"Not bad," Qin San persuaded, "We are originally of the same ancestry, the same lineage, and you have the same blood as us." If you are willing to get lost and admit your mistakes sincerely, I believe that the lord of the mansion will not remember the villain and re-admit you to the Qin family. ”

That's true. Qin Ming nodded and said, "You and I are uncles and nephews after all, as long as you are willing to give up hatred, not only will you not blame you as an uncle, but will treat you as your own and cultivate you carefully." You also know that your uncle has no children under his knees, and the Qin family's family business will be yours in the future. ”

"Qin Ku, here are all your relatives, or uncles, or brothers, or sons and nephews. No one wants to face you with a sword, so why do you want to look at us" Qin Sandao, "Nowadays, there are many variables in the rivers and lakes, and the Qin family is in turmoil, walking on thin ice. Now is the time to employ people, if you are willing to come back, our family will take care of each other and advance and retreat together, wouldn't it be good?"

Hearing this, Qin Ku's eyes couldn't help but flash a hint of hesitation, as if he was shaken by Qin San's bitter heart.

"There seems to be some truth to what you say. ”

Seeing Qin Ku loosen his mouth, Qin Ming couldn't help frowning, and said in disbelief: "You mean that you are willing to fight with the Qin family."

"There's no such thing as pie in the sky. Qin Ku pursed his lips, "You are trying your best to persuade me to go back, but what are the conditions?"

"As long as you are willing to come back, we are family. Qin Ming groaned, "Since we are a family, everything is easy to discuss."

"Huh" Qin Ku looked stubborn and stubborn, and waved his hand again and again, "My brother is settling accounts, especially when dealing with a calculating person like you, you must be more cautious, I don't want to follow in my father's footsteps." ”

The old thing was brought up again, which made Qin Ming's face a little unnatural.

"That's it," Qin Ming compromised, "Since you insist on this, I'll just get straight to the point." I can let you return to the Qin family and write off all the past grievances, provided that you hand over the Xuanshui scroll. ”

"What"

"There's no need to pretend, I know that the water is rolled up in you. Without its blessing, it would be impossible for you to defeat Uncle Nine in Huashan that day, let alone torture and kill him. ”

Hearing this, Qin Ku couldn't help grinning, as if he was contemptuous, like proud, like mockery, intriguing, which made Qin Ming extremely disgusted.

"At this point, I don't have to hide it. Qin Ku said bluntly, "The Xuanshui scroll is indeed in my hand. It's just that I have worked so hard to get something, why should I give it to you?"

Seeing Qin Ku admit it in person, Qin Ming's eyes suddenly lit up, and a hint of joy flashed in the depths of his eyes. Looking at the three heroes of the Qin family and the other disciples of the Qin family, they were also excited and ecstatic.

As everyone knows, getting the "Xuanshui Scroll" is like breaking the restrictions of the "Mandate of Heaven" for the disciples of the Qin family, not only does the skill increase greatly, but also can prolong life and live a hundred years. There is no need to worry and panic all day long because of the "short-lived curse".

Qin Ming pressed the urgency in his heart, and pretended to be calm: "The Xuanshui Scroll is the other half of the Returning Sea Sword Method, and only by fusing it with the Red Fire Scroll can Yin and Yang be reconciled and get rid of the pain of backlash." Therefore, it is not only a martial arts secret book, but also related to the longevity of the disciples of the Qin family. You know how important it is. ”

"Not bad," Qin Da threatened, "Handing over the Xuanshui scroll is for the sake of the lives of everyone in the Qin family." It's a big deal, how can you cherish your secret skills"

"Asking you to hand over the Xuanshui Scroll is not for you to give up practicing the Returning Sea Sword Technique. Seeing Qin Ku's hesitation, Qin San hurriedly explained, "We only want to get a method of reconciling yin and yang from it, not coveting its martial arts." After all, cultivating the Returning Sea Sword Method requires extremely high talent and qualifications, and blindly practicing it will not only fail to increase your skills, but will go mad and die. Therefore, you don't have to worry about us taking away your opportunity to practice. On the contrary, we also hope that someone from the Qin family can practice the Returning Sea Sword Technique. In this way, our position in the rivers and lakes will be more secure. ”

"If you're still not sure, you can copy a copy of the Xuanshui scroll. Qin Er proposed.

"This"

"I know what you're thinking. Qin Ming didn't give Qin Ku a chance to refute, and instigated, "Although I have a grudge with your father, if he lives in the world, he must not want his son to watch the Qin family suffer from the destiny of heaven and watch from the sidelines, ignoring it." Take a step back, as a descendant of the Qin family, you must not want to see the Qin family decline day by day. ”

"I understand what you mean, it's just that," Qin scratched his head and said helplessly, "The Xuanshui scroll has been destroyed by me. ”

"What"

As soon as this remark came out, it caused an uproar.

"Ruined" Qin Da was stunned, "How did you destroy it?"

"A fire burned clean. ”

"You" Qin Erqi's face turned blue, and he scolded angrily, "You rebel, why did you burn the Xuanshui Scroll?"

"The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty," Qin pouted bitterly, "If you stay by your side, sooner or later it will be a disaster." So, I didn't stop doing it, and I burned it all in one go, and I burned it all down. ”

"You"

"But don't worry. Seeing that everyone in the Qin family gritted their teeth one by one, resentful, Qin Ku hurriedly added, "Although the authentic work has been burned to ashes, I have already memorized the contents of the Xuanshui scroll. Therefore, as long as I live unharmed, the Xuanshui scroll will never be lost. ”

Qin Ming's eyes flickered and dimmed, staring at Qin Ku without blinking, as if he was discerning the truth of his words.

"Why don't you believe it" Qin Ku took the initiative to open his arms and said jokingly, "I don't believe that I searched for it." ”

"You can hide somewhere else"

"Where would I hide something so important?"

"You"

"The lord of the mansion is calm and impatient. Qin Daxian appeased Qin Ming, and then asked Qin Ku nervously, "Can you write out the Xuanshui scroll silently?"

"Absolutely. Qin Ku swore and was confident, "As long as you give me a pen and a book of paper, you can restore it to its original appearance overnight, and it will be word-for-word." ”

"Okay, good," Qin San nodded repeatedly, "You will write tonight." Come on, pen and ink waiting"

"Wait" Qin Ku waved his hand and sneered, "When did I agree to your conditions?"

"What do you mean" Qin Er's eyes were fierce, and he was furious, "If you don't agree, then you just said so much, you must be playing with us."

"Not really. "Your condition is for me to hand over the Xuanshui scroll, and to bring out a bunch of reasons that can crush people." If I insist on refusing, I am afraid that not only will my life be lost, but I will even be infamous for betraying my ancestors and abandoning my ancestors, and destroying my relatives. ”

"It's good to know. ”

"I can agree to your conditions, but only if you agree to my conditions. Qin Ku's eyes rolled, and at the same time, his face was treacherous, "Only when you are still reciprocating can you make money in harmony." Hey hey"

"Your conditions" Qin San said curiously, "What conditions do you have?"

"It's easy"

As for this, Qin Ku's eyes changed suddenly, and the innocent intent that lingered on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a cold and piercing hatred and killing intent.

At the same time, he pointed the Sky Knife at Qin Ming, and under the surprised gaze of everyone, he said word by word: "My condition is to use Qin Ming's dog head to pay tribute to my father's spirit in the sky."
