Chapter 610: The Squad

"Nothing. We better be on alert just in case." Lin Xuan Qi said and glanced out of the doors of the main hall.

Xue Cong nodded her head and gave out a sigh.

The times in Da Qian Dynasty have always been turbulence and it’s getting much worse recently.

So many families have separated or perished due to all the disasters.

She was lucky to have met Lin Xuan Qi and she was even able to take care of her family afterwards.

Lin Xuan Qi glanced at her, held onto her hand and patted on it, "Don’t worry, I am around to take care of things."

Fortunately, it wasn’t the same for him now with many options to deal with whatever was coming.

"Have some dessert first." Yue Jie came into the main hall with Yue Xin and said.

Yue Xin took a seat near Lin Xuan Qi and nodded her head, eager for the dessert, since her appetite had been getting better recently.

Servant girls came in after them with a tray that had the desserts on them.

They placed the dessert onto the tea table for Lin Xuan Qi and the others and left.

Just in time for Liu Shi Shi to have some of the dessert to cool her down from the heat.

She was out checking on the guards.

Lin Xuan Qi sighed at the sight of the four of them being safe and sound together with him.

He wished of it to remain the same.

"Master Lin, I’m back from the retail shops and franchise shops." Lee He Song entered the main hall next and greeted him.

"How are things out there?" Lin Xuan Qi gestured for him to take a seat and asked.

Lee He Song sat and had a mouthful of tea from the teacup.

He wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "No one got hurt and the Qing Feng Sect disciples are out in full force on the streets.

"I’m guessing that they might have some other plans soon."

Lin Xuan Qi nodded at him and said, "I think we shall find out very soon."

As for what it was, he only had a hunch that it would be about grinding down the Sima Family even further.

But there wasn’t much he could do right now except to be prepared for it.

After all, life must go on, no matter what.

And that was what he did.

They had dinner as usual and he continued with his cultivation in the lab afterwards.

Knowing that something was about to happen, Zhi Yong and Lee He Song also worked hard in their cultivation together with him.

The summer night was humid and stuffy, but it didn’t deter them.

And so, the gong from the nightwatchman accompanied them as they raced with time to get more powerful with their cultivation.

...

Next day.

Lin Xuan Qi woke up as usual, and after he had breakfast, he decided to head out to the work site.

But before he could do so, there were some unexpected visitors.

One of the guards ran into the main hall hurriedly and said, "Master Lin, there’s someone at the gate requesting to visit..."

The guard didn’t get to finish his sentence.

Xiao Feng strutted into the main hall with some Qing Feng Sect disciples.

"What’s the matter this time?" Lin Xuan Qi frowned when he saw him.

Xiao Feng who had his head up high narrowed his eyes and said, "I’m here under the instruction of the Governor and the Guardian of the City.

"After the attempted intrusion yesterday, they’ve decided to organize a squad to hunt for the perpetrators that are hiding in the mountains.

"And every clan and family is to send out some men to be in the squad."

Xiao Feng said and side-eyed one of the disciples.

The disciple came up to Lin Xuan Qi and handed him an envelope.

Lin Xuan Qi opened it up and read the official letter inside it.

His eyebrows slowly pulled together as he read the content of the official letter.

It was indeed written by the Governor with the orders of contributing half of his men for the squad.

The seal of the Governor was unmistakable.

Lin Xuan Qi’s frown turned deeper while he pondered on it.

This so-called squad was most likely used as bait to lure the cultivators from the north out.

And it would be especially so for the men sent by the Sima Family.

The Qing Feng Sect disciples might even be the ones killing them from behind.

He glanced over at Lee He Song and Lee He Song nodded at him.

Both of them were thinking about the same thing.

The guards were only martial arts fighters and they will most probably perish without the protection of someone like Lee He Song.

But that would be the last resort.

Lin Xuan Qi glanced back at Xiao Feng and asked, "My men are all martial arts fighters, they don’t even stand a chance against the cultivators like you.

"Is there anyway that they can be excused?"

Xiao Feng got annoyed with him and said, "In these times of need, when the Da Qian Dynasty needs help, how can you think of shirking your responsibilities as a subject of the emperor?

"There’s no other way out this time."

"What about the Qing Feng Sect disciples? Aren’t you the largest sect in the Da Qian Dynasty?" Lin Xuan Qi asked with a shrug.

Xiao Feng stared at him and said, "The Qing Feng Sect is now dealing with all the calamities that are happening across the Da Qian Dynasty!

"And we have to keep the city safe while the hunt for those barbarians is going on."

Lin Xuan Qi nodded his head at Xiao Feng and said, "Then, I understand."

"Great, get your men ready and report at the city gate at noon." Xiao Feng said and he left with his men.

But when he stepped out of the doors of the main hall, he nearly tripped and fell flat onto his face again.

Xiao Feng quickly composed himself and cursed silently.

Lin Xuan Qi glanced at the figure of Xiao Feng leaving with a smirk.

He finally had a target for the soul of his Natal Puppet.
