Martial Master

The instigator of all this, Qin Chen, was completely unaware of Xiao Ya and the others' speculations as he returned home at the first opportunity.

From afar, he saw Qin Yuechi standing at the entrance of the residence.

Upon seeing Qin Chen's figure, a gentle smile spread across Qin Yuechi's face.

“Chen'er, you rascal, you said you were just stepping out this morning, how come you're back so late? If you took any longer, your mother would have sent Zuo Li, the deputy commander, out to find you.”

After suffering an assassination attempt the previous night, Qin Tian had been missing for an entire day, which was enough to worry Qin Yuechi.

“Don’t worry, mother. Nothing will happen in the royal capital, unless Qin Yuanhong no longer wants to live,” Qin Chen replied with a smile.

“Then you must pay attention to your safety,” Qin Yuechi said, caressing Qin Chen's face with a tender expression, before coldly snorting, “Qin Yuanhong actually dared to send people to harm us, Chen'er, I've already written a letter to inform your grandfather. This matter, your mother will never let it go easily.”

As they walked into the courtyard, a group of city guards were repairing the houses. The places that had been damaged last night were already restored to their original state after a day of repairs and cleaning, almost showing no signs of the incident.

“Miss Qin, Young Master, you just need to wait a moment longer; we’re almost finished with the repairs on the residence,” Zuo Li smiled as he approached.

“Deputy Commander Zuo, thank you,” Qin Yuechi expressed her gratitude.

“Miss Qin is too polite. This is my duty. However, Lord Kang asked me to inform you both that if possible, it would be best for you to move near the East City Royal Mansion; it’s safer there,” Zuo Li said.

When it came to the Ding Wu Royal Mansion, Zuo Li wasn't very confident, especially after nearly failing to capture Qin Yong last night.

If Qin Chen hadn't intervened at the last moment, he might have suffered a setback, the consequences of which would have been unimaginable.

“Thank you for Lord Kang's good intentions, but there’s no need for that,” Qin Yuechi shook her head.

“Alright then. If Miss Qin needs anything, just let me know,” Zuo Li did not push the matter further.

“Deputy Commander Zuo, after you finish here, please come over for a moment,” Qin Chen suddenly said.

Although Zuo Li didn’t know what Qin Chen wanted, he agreed nonetheless.

A moment later, the repairs were complete, and many city guards departed from the residence.

“Young Master, you wanted to see me?” Zuo Li asked respectfully as he entered Qin Chen's room.

Although he was the deputy commander of the city guards, he knew that the recent upheavals in the royal capital were all instigated by this young man.

Moreover, yesterday's display of strength from Qin Chen had made him not dare to underestimate him.

“Do you remember what I told you last night?” Qin Chen smiled slightly.

“Are you referring to the matter of my meridians?”

Upon hearing this, Zuo Li instantly became excited, his face flushed.

Last night, Qin Chen had pointed out that his meridians were damaged and said he would find time to help him, but did not specify when. Today, he had been in a daze, not knowing how to bring it up.

He didn’t expect Qin Chen to mention it first.

“That's right. I promised I would help you. Sit down here for a moment, and let me carefully examine your meridians to see how to treat them,” Qin Chen said.

“Yes!”

Zuo Li didn't know how to position himself and let Qin Chen direct him, foolishly sitting on the chair.

With his spiritual energy sweeping across, Qin Chen meticulously examined Zuo Li's body.

“How is it, Young Master?” Zuo Li asked nervously after a moment.

“Nothing serious, but your last attempt to break through to the Heaven Level has been five years ago, so there will be some complications,” Qin Chen replied.

“Is there any hope for recovery?”

Zuo Li felt a heavy weight in his heart.
