Chapter 192 Grandma Recognizes Her Relatives
"Thank you for saving my life!" Zhou Qing bowed. Thanks to Wanqi Zongyuan's help, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
The reason why he did not agree to follow Wanqi Zongyuan back to the Bingling Clan last time was mainly because he was afraid that he would be too proactive and unreasonable, which would easily arouse suspicion.
In addition, if he suddenly followed Wanqi Zongyuan and left, other forces would come to Han Wending, and the Han family would still have to bear a lot of external pressure.
He expected that before leaving, he would try his best not to arouse Wanqi Zongyuan's suspicion, and then let all forces know that he had followed Wanqi Zongyuan back to the Bingling Clan.
In this way, other forces would naturally understand that it was useless to cause trouble to the Han family.
Without the spirit seed fragments on him, it would be more trouble than gain to offend the Han family.
But Zhou Qing did not expect that the Wushen Cult knew their whereabouts very well and suddenly intercepted them halfway.
If it were not for Wanqi Zongyuan, the four of them would probably have to leave a few behind today, or even all of them would die on the spot.
"I am willing to return to the Bingling Clan with the clan leader." Faced with Wanqi Zongyuan's life-saving grace, Zhou Qing had no scruples and made a decision on the spot.
"Good! Good! Good!" Wanqi Zongyuan got a satisfactory answer and couldn't help but smile.
In fact, Wanqi Zongyuan had never left the vicinity of the Shenwei Camp. When Zhou Qing and Han Wending left the camp, he had been following behind.
Moreover, he had discovered the whereabouts of Feng Xingyun and others through the Gu worm early in the morning. The reason why he did not take action was that he was prepared to wait until the critical moment and let Zhou Qing owe him a favor.
In addition, he wanted to see what kind of character Zhou Qing had. At the critical moment of life and death, what choice would he make, whether to abandon his relatives and friends and escape, or to fight to the death.
The final result made him very satisfied, so he was ready to take action when Zhou Qing and Han Wending were ready to fight to the death.
Unexpectedly, Feng Xingyun was rude, so he just punished him.
"In that case, let's leave now. Bingyun Village is thousands of miles away from here, so it's better to leave as soon as possible." Wanqi Zongyuan immediately prepared to take Zhou Qing away.
"Patriarch, please wait a moment. I still have relatives in Nanli County City. Please give me two days. After arranging my relatives, I will leave with the patriarch to return to the Bingling Clan."
Zhou Qing said seriously.
The old lady is still in Nanli County City, so he naturally can't just leave like this.
Since Bingyun Village is thousands of miles away from here and is located in the mountains, it is probably not suitable to take the old lady there. Before leaving, he must properly arrange for the old lady.
"It's just an old guy who has no blood relationship with you, why bother so much. Leave more money for her and let her fend for herself." Wanqi Zongyuan's smile gradually faded.
Although Zhou Qing knew that Wanqi Zongyuan was most likely testing him, he still got angry.
"Patriarch, whether you are testing me or you are sincere, please don't say that!
Grandma is my relative, even if we have no blood relationship.
Patriarch, you are not a person who doesn't care about family affection like me, right?"
"Well, I will accompany you for a trip." Wanqi Zongyuan said lightly.
"Thank you, Patriarch." Zhou Qing's expression relaxed, and he sighed in his heart, wondering how many years he would be gone this time.
Only by becoming stronger can you truly decide your own destiny.
"Is this senior the patriarch of the Bingling Clan?" At this time, after the two finished talking, Han Wending asked carefully.
As the commander of Nanli County City, he was in charge of the Shenwei Camp to fight against the Wuxi Barbarians, but in fact, they mainly dealt with the Shengman Clan and the Beast Soul Clan.
In addition, the three neutral tribes of Bingling Clan, Feiyu Clan, and Yinhun Clan rarely clashed with the Shenwei Camp.
The main reason was that the distance was too far.
The so-called "Wuxi" is actually a major tributary of the Blackwater River, named "Niang Wuxi". Niang Wuxi divides the entire Qilian Mountains into two areas, east and west.
The Shengman tribe and the Shouhun tribe are located in the southwest lower reaches of Niang Wuxi, thousands of miles away from Nanli County City.
The Bingling tribe, Feiyu tribe, and Yinhun tribe are located in the northeast upper reaches of Niang Wuxi. Among them, the Bingling tribe is located in the northernmost part, in the hinterland of the Qilian Mountains, and has almost no conflict of interest with Nanli County City. The two sides are thousands of miles apart. If they fight, it is almost equivalent to crossing the distance of the entire southern border. The key is that there is no such a big conflict of interest.
So Han Wending knew very little about the intelligence of the Bingling tribe. He didn't expect that the patriarch of the Bingling tribe was so powerful.
Feng Xingyun broke through eight blood exchanges and practiced the phantom magic. In terms of strange body movements, he was almost the best in the realm of Qi and Blood Long Dragon.
Unexpectedly, under the hands of Wanqi Zongyuan, the patriarch of the Bingling tribe, he didn't even take a single move.
"Yes." Wanqi Zongyuan glanced at Han Wending, his tone calm.
Except for the strong men of the same level, Wanqi Zongyuan did not take the ordinary Qi and Blood Furnace Realm seriously.
What's more, Han Wending was only a warrior of the Qi and Blood Long Dragon Realm. If it weren't for him risking his life to protect Zhou Qing, Wanqi Zongyuan would not bother to pay attention to him.
"What did the senior say about letting my nephew return to the Bingling Clan? My nephew..."
Han Wending felt Wanqi Zongyuan's cold attitude, and the pressure increased immediately, but he still bit the bullet and asked about the situation.
"Zhou Qing has the blood of the Bingling Clan, so he naturally has to recognize his ancestors and return to the Bingling Clan." Wanqi Zongyuan said lightly.
"Having the blood of the Bingling Clan?!" Han Wending looked stunned.
"Brother Zhou has the blood of the Barbarian Clan?" Han Qingqing was stunned. She was sure that when she first met Zhou Qing, he was just a silkworm breeder in Heishan Town, and he could not be connected with the Barbarian Clan.
The faces of the Saintess of the Wushen Cult and the Protector Li beside the "Ice Spirit Clan" changed for a while. No wonder a strong man like Wanqi Zongyuan would attack the deputy leader.
This time he hit a wall.
Even if the leader Lan Canghai came here in person, he might not be able to capture Zhou Qing from Wanqi Zongyuan's hands.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's go back to Nanli County City first." Wanqi Zongyuan waved his hand and walked into the forest first. His steps were very slow, but with just a few steps, his figure disappeared into the depths of the forest.
"Han Shibo, let's go. I'll explain to you on the way." Zhou Qing said seriously.
"Okay." Han Wending nodded. Looking at Feng Xingyun, who was frozen into an ice sculpture not far in front of him, he always felt a little unreal.
Before leaving, Zhou Qing glanced at Feng Xingyun, as well as the Saintess and Protector of the Wushen Cult not far away. This account will be settled with the Wushen Cult next time he comes back.
"Everyone, take care." Noticing Zhou Qing's gaze, Li Hufa's face twitched and he forced out an ugly smile, fearing that Zhou Qing would attack him.
At that time, if he didn't fight back, his life might be in danger.
If he fought back, who could guarantee that Wanqi Zongyuan wouldn't attack?
He could only say hello to ease the embarrassment.
The four of them crossed the forest and didn't see Wanqi Zongyuan, but they all knew that Wanqi Zongyuan must still be there.
Zhou Qing explained the situation to Han Wending, Han Qingqing and Lu Yan along the way.
He explained in detail the process of Wanqi Zongyuan finding him.
"Did the senior of the Bingling Clan go to the Shenwei Camp three days ago?" Han Wending looked stern, and he was indeed a top-notch warrior, deep in the army, as if he was in an empty space.
It would be difficult for the other peak warriors of the blood exchange realm who were famous in the southern border to do so.
In terms of his elusive body movements, I'm afraid no one can match him.
"Brother Zhou, are you really leaving?" Han Qingqing looked at Zhou Qing reluctantly.
Ever since Zhou Qing saved her life, she has developed a special feeling for Zhou Qing.
She didn't know if it was a love between a man and a woman, maybe yes, maybe not.
But there was definitely admiration and longing.
Zhou Qing's background was very similar to her father's. In her eyes, her father was like a god. In his youth, he had to marry into the Han family to realize his ambitions.
And Zhou Qing's experience was something that even the storybooks didn't dare to write about.
"I have to go. If I stay here, many people will get into trouble," Zhou Qing sighed helplessly.
His goal was very clear, which was to enter the Ice Spirit Clan to obtain the qualifications of a Gu Master and improve his roots.
But he didn't want to be forced to leave like he is now.
But the current result is a blessing in disguise.
"Hmph! Then go! But you still owe me money! You can't default on it!"
Han Qingqing said coquettishly.
Zhou Qing smiled, "When I come back next time, I will pay you back tenfold. I will never let you, a little money-grubber, suffer any loss."
"Who wants your money?" Han Qingqing pouted, "Anyway, you can't default on your debt!"
"Don't worry, I always keep my word." Zhou Qing said seriously.
"Uncle Han, I really caused you a lot of trouble this time. I'm afraid that the contract with the Han family cannot be fulfilled in the short term."
Zhou Qing looked at Han Wending on the side, apologetic.
"My dear nephew, you are too polite to say that! Your contract with the Han family is always valid. Everything will be settled when you return safely." Han Wending urged.
"Uncle Han, I have another unwelcome request. I don't know..."
"Don't worry, my dear nephew, your family is my family. I will take good care of your grandma for you." Han Wending said seriously. He knew that Zhou Qing had a grandma who was not related by blood, but he had always lived in the backyard and had never seen her.
"Thank you, Uncle Han!" Zhou Qing bowed deeply.
"My dear nephew, please don't be polite." Han Wending quickly helped Zhou Qing up.
"Brother Lu, thank you for your care these days." Zhou Qing came to Lu Yan and bowed to him.
"Brother Zhou, you are too kind. No matter where you go, you are my friend!" Lu Yan didn't say much, but he was very sincere.
The four of them quickly returned to Nanli County City and entered the outer city area.
The four of them came to Zhou Qing's rented house together.
Han Wending, Han Qingqing, and Lu Yan stayed in the front hall to rest, and Zhou Qing went to the backyard to find the old lady to explain the situation.
"Good boy, don't worry about grandma, grandma will stay here and wait for you to come home!"
When the old lady heard that Zhou Qing was being hunted, her eyes were full of fear. When she learned that Zhou Qing was going to the barbarian village thousands of miles away, her eyes were red.
"Don't be sad, grandma, I will come back in two or three years!" Zhou Qing felt like a blockage in his chest. Only where there are family members can be called home. Unfortunately, this time, he must leave home.
"Grandma, you must take care of yourself."
Zhou Qing took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tears for the old lady.
In the past year, he also tried to refine some health-preserving pills that ordinary people can take, but the old lady is old after all. Even if she doesn't have to work now and lives a life of luxury all day long, she will inevitably have some minor illnesses and pains.
Looking at the old lady, he always thinks of his grandmother who died suddenly in his previous life.
"Good child, the old lady will definitely live until you come back and watch you get married and have children." The old lady wiped her tears with a handkerchief, but the more she wiped, the more tears she cried.
After Zhou Qing comforted the old lady, he told her that he would send her to the Han family. Although the old lady wanted to stay here, it was definitely not as safe as the Han family.
In the end, the old lady agreed to stay temporarily in the Han family.
"Grandma, don't worry. Maybe I will come back to pick you up early. Besides, you know Miss Qingqing from the Han family, don't you? She is very nice. Don't you like her too?"
Zhou Qing took her grandma to the front yard. When Han Qingqing came to visit before, she also came to the backyard and talked to her grandma.
"That girl is also a good child." When she mentioned Han Qingqing, grandma's face showed a smile.
"You have to take advantage of it."
"Okay." Zhou Qing didn't explain anything, just followed what grandma said.
Wait until the two of them walked into the front hall.
"Brother Zhou, Grandma!" Han Qingqing stood up first, went to greet her, and enthusiastically grabbed Grandma's hand.
Later, Han Wending and Lu Yan also walked up to say hello.
At this time, grandma suddenly stared blankly at the tall Han Wending. Her eyes were blank, and she walked limply in front of Han Wending. She stretched out her hands as if she wanted to touch Han Wending's cheek. However, Han Wending was two feet tall. A few meters away, she couldn't touch it.
"Old man, you..." Han Wending was stunned for a moment.
Grandma burst into tears, "Xiao Wen, you are Xiao Wen! I am mother! I am Yin Cai!"
"Yin Cai?! You are..." Han Wending's body trembled. He opened his eyes wide and looked at his grandma's old wrinkled face, as if he wanted to find the shadow of the past. Looking at grandma's eyes that seemed familiar, he finally I finally confirmed that the person in front of me was actually the beautiful and gentle mother from back then.
"mother!"
Han Wending fell to his knees with a plop, his eyes filled with tears.
"Xiaowen, Xiaowen." Grandma hugged Han Wending tightly.
"Dad? This" Han Qingqing was stunned.
"Grandma? Han Shibo?" Zhou Qing was also confused.
