Martial Master

If one were to rashly inquire, not only would they fail to obtain any news about Qianxue, but it would also raise suspicions about themselves, making it a loss rather than a gain.

To find out about Qianxue's whereabouts, Qin Chen thought for a while and realized that there was only one method, which was to gather information from the people of Piao Miao Palace.

No one knows Piao Miao Palace better than its own people.

However, given the recent confrontation between Piao Miao Palace and various major forces, and the current state of turmoil in the Martial Domain, secretly taking action against the people of Piao Miao Palace would be a challenging task, not an easy feat.

He needs to think of a solution.

But what solution could there be?

Qin Chen looked up and suddenly noticed a side pavilion across from him, and his eyes brightened instantly.

Isn't this a ready-made opportunity?

After the failure to subdue Piao Miao Palace, its arrogance not only did not diminish but became increasingly rampant. They even covertly commanded many imperial-level forces in the Martial Domain to submit to them.

Moreover, the three major families of Guhua City seem to be in conflict recently, and someone has been secretly contacting Piao Miao Palace, attempting to gain their favor.

For example, the Shi family has already had dealings with the Law Enforcement Hall.

If he could use the Shi family of Guhua City to capture someone from the Law Enforcement Hall, and then use that person to investigate the whereabouts of Ruyue and Qianxue, it would soon become a matter of course, wouldn’t it?

“Indeed, let’s do it this way.”

Qin Chen was overjoyed and couldn’t help but smile with excitement.

“I wonder what joyful matter has you so excited, Young Master?” Yi Xin said with a gentle smile upon seeing this scene.

To be honest, Qin Chen spent five hundred million mid-grade true stones to auction her, so she naturally had a good impression of him. However, what frustrated her was that after Qin Chen called her over and learned about the rules of Taikoo Residence, he seemed to have lost interest in her and kept asking about the situation in the Martial Domain, which left her feeling somewhat disappointed.

Qin Chen appeared to be a disciple of a major force and was said to come from the Xuanyuan Empire; how could he not know the current situation on the continent? His actions clearly indicated that he had no interest in her.

This left Yi Xin feeling quite disheartened. “I was just thinking that with Yi Xin’s many talents and her keen insights into the situation on the continent, it would be a great fortune in life to have a confidante like her. I’m wondering what means I could employ to win Yi Xin’s heart,” Qin Chen said with a smile.

Yi Xin's lips curled into a faint smile: “Young Master is joking. I see that you are noble and virtuous. Many people, although aware of the rules of Taikoo Residence, have long since been unable to restrain themselves in such circumstances. Yet you have always treated me with the utmost respect. May I ask you a question, Young Master?”

“You may ask,” Qin Chen replied.

“If Yi Xin were willing to accompany you, would you be willing to marry Yi Xin and protect her?” Yi Xin raised her head, her beautiful eyes gazing at Qin Chen with a pitiful look that nearly made one unable to resist nodding in agreement.

“This…” Qin Chen smiled but did not answer directly.

“Yi Xin understands the Young Master’s heart now,” Yi Xin said, lowering her head with a hint of disappointment.

“I haven’t spoken, so how could you understand, Miss Yi Xin?” Qin Chen retorted. “Many people in such moments lack the Young Master’s composure and would probably have agreed without hesitation, making them seem hypocritical. But now that the Young Master hasn’t answered, it shows that he does not wish to deceive and gain Yi Xin’s devotion through falsehoods,” Yi Xin spoke softly and gently.

She leaned into Qin Chen’s embrace, her youthful fragrance enticing yet evoking feelings of tenderness.
