Chapter 1600 The Eve of the Worst War
Fang Yuandong's words came to an abrupt halt, and his originally tightly frowned brows immediately relaxed.
Could it be that the Qin Family's seven people are here for their great-grandson? Otherwise, why would Weng Lan speak at this moment?
Turning her head, she saw that Weng Lan had already stood up and walked to her side from the back seat.
'"Old Master Fang, logically speaking, I shouldn't have interfered in your family's affairs. However, this man's name is Qin An. He is the same as my husband, and he made me feel sad after listening to him. Therefore, I don't want to see him being bullied. If your Fang Clan can't tolerate him, why don't we let him go to our Qin Clan? Anyway, he's already called Qin An!"
Weng Lan spoke so loudly that many people could hear her.
Qin Family? This woman was actually from the Qin Family? Is it the Qin Clan in the north of the city?
And what kind of theory was this? Just because Fang Xiaobao had changed his name to Qin An, she could not bear to see others bully him?
If changing the name to Qin An had such an effect, then everyone really wanted to change. With the protection of the Qin Family, they could at least walk around Hangzhou City. Some people were already jealous, and even more rational people were guessing what was hidden behind the surface of the matter. What kind of relationship does this fellow named Fang Xiaobao have with the Qin Family? Few people would believe Weng Lan's words, because it was simply too fake.
'"Ah, Madam Weng Lan, are you kidding me …" Qin An's killing was wrong, but Fang Xiaoqi had committed many crimes. Now that he had died, he could be considered to have taken the blame. This old man's family rules are not strict, that's why this kind of thing happened. How about this, Qin An, I will punish you for not participating in this ability duel. At the end of this competition, all the disciples of the Fang Clan have to go to the frontlines to support them. You can go as well! Madam Weng Lan, what do you think of my treatment like this? "
Fang Yuandong wasn't stupid at all. Although he still didn't understand Weng Lan's thoughts, he wouldn't let Qin An leave the Fang Clan in such a situation.
This was clearly an opportunity. If the Fang Clan could get along well with the Qin Clan through Qin An, it would be a big windfall.
We must investigate Qin An carefully later. Fang Yuandong can confirm that the Qin Clan's seven people are indeed heading towards Qin An. Then what is their specific purpose? And Qin An was truly shocking. He was just a fool before. A year ago, he regained his consciousness and changed his name to Qin An. It seemed that everything had changed. What was the reason for that?
Fang Yuandong's words made Fang Yunliang's face pale.
His son had died in vain. Fang Yuandong had already set the tone for this matter. This was truly a loss for both husband and wife. What kind of punishment could it be if Qin An didn't participate in the ability competition? What a joke!
However, there was no way to do so. Now that Qin An's strength had been displayed, it was estimated that he would be able to win the first place without any suspense if he fought against the Fang Clan's juniors. Therefore, there was no need for him to participate in the competition.
Weng Lan seemed to be very satisfied with the punishment from the Far East. She smiled at Qin An and nodded slightly before retreating to her original seat.
Qin An smiled helplessly. It seemed that he would not be able to live peacefully in the future. He believed that within a few dozen minutes, the matter of him being noticed by the Qin Family's Clan Mistress would spread throughout the Fang Clan. In that case, this matter would spread throughout Hanghai City as if it had grown wings, and it might even reach Guo Sihai's ears. The three madams of the Qin Clan usually lived in seclusion and had hardly ever appeared in public. But now, a junior from the north of the city to the south of the city was so fond of them. This was of course an explosive piece of news.
Forget it, wasn't he punished for going to the frontlines? Then take Haitang over there to take a look. He actually didn't know what kind of scene was happening outside the city wall. This way, he could avoid those who were paying attention to him.
"Alright, thank you for your forgiveness. Since you don't need me to participate in the competition, I'll go back now. Goodbye!"
Qin An left as soon as he said so, ignoring anyone else.
Fang Yunhai stood up to stop him, but was stopped by Fang Yuan who was sitting beside him. Just like that, everyone's eyes were focused on Qin An, watching him return to his seat and leave with Haitang.
Weng Lan, Tang Yu, and Qiu Jinse all stared at Haitang until she disappeared. Afterwards, their moods became unbeautiful, and they felt a little jealous.
Weng Lan got up again and said, "Alright, we've seen the opening ceremony of the competition." Old Master Fang, then let's not disturb him today. That child Hu Xiao hasn't returned yet. He's probably playing with your little girl. You don't need to interfere in this matter. The sisters and I both like that girl. If they are destined to be together, then the Qin Family and the Fang Family will be able to form this marriage. Oh right, I think that young man called Qin An seems to have an easy-going personality. He probably doesn't like to be disturbed too much, does he? Since that's the case, I hope he can do whatever he wants! "To be more frank, I don't want to see him investigated by anyone!"
After saying that, Weng Lan and the others also left the arena, declining Fang Yuandong's invitation to stay.
Although the people in the arena were shocked by the impact Qin An had brought them, they did not feel the grim atmosphere.
On the rostrum, the three generations of Fang Clan managers all had strange expressions on their faces, not knowing what to do.
In the end, Fang Yuandong said heavily,
"First, Yun Hai and your wife should strengthen their communication with Qin An. No matter what, he is a disciple of our Fang Clan. Nobody can change this! Secondly, Rumeng and the Fang Clan's young master's marriage must be brought about. This also required Yun Hai to do his work. Rumeng is a high-eyed and handsome boy. I'm afraid she doesn't like Qin Huxiao, that black brat. She just wants to play with him and let her get rid of this thought. Qin Huxiao is definitely married! Third, stop investigating Qin An from now on. Just like I said before, since he is a member of the Fang family, then we should treat him as a member of the family. Don't think about anything else! Hmph, these past few years, I've watched you all grow up and mature, and you don't care much about the matters of the clan. Now that the clan is miasma, do you think that I don't know about the secret fights between the descendants of the younger generation? From today onwards, the Fang Clan will be organized behind closed doors. Little Evil will be punished, and Big Evil will be sent directly to the frontline death squad! You can make up for your mistakes with merits, or you will die! "In the future, if I ever hear of anyone who uses the influence of the Fang Clan to commit an evil deed or cause trouble within the clan, then I will definitely not let them off lightly!"
Fang Yuandong's tone was solemn, and the descendants didn't dare to say anything else, saying yes in unison.
They all understood Fang Yuandong's intentions. Right now, the Qin Clan's performance was already very clear. They had actually taken the initiative to become Qin An's backer. Then, they would ignore the reason for this. It was likely that the Fang Clan's power in the empire would increase in the future. As long as they had Qin An as a link, the Fang Clan and the Qin Clan would very likely become one. This was a big matter. No one dared to go against the wind and cause trouble for Qin An.
…
At this time, Qin An had already arrived outside the Fang Clan's courtyard. Weng Lan and the others naturally quickly followed him out of the courtyard.
Qin Beichen, Qin Potian, and Qin Sanchuan didn't understand why the three mothers were so interested in a junior from the Fang Clan. Although his name happened to be Qin An, there were many people in Hanghai City who called him Qin An. In the past, I didn't see how the three of them would react.
Seeing that Qin An pretended not to see them leaving, Tang Yu stepped forward in displeasure and blocked their path.
"Why are you running like you've done something bad? Qin An, Weng Lan helped you out just now. Aren't you grateful?"
As she spoke, Tang Yu carefully observed Qin An's expression, wanting to see if Weng Lan's judgment was correct.
Actually, Qin An wanted to escape directly. He didn't expect the three women to chase after him with three boys. It was really clingy.
Qin An smiled foolishly and swept his gaze across Tang Yu's body.
"I didn't run, I just wanted to go home."
Qin An looked very honest. Since he was stopped, he just stood there and didn't continue walking.
Haitang had already learned from what had happened earlier that these women were the Qin Family's madams, so she was extremely nervous for a moment.
She was one of the lowest-ranking housewives in the world. To her, the Qin family's wives were goddesses who lived in the sky. What did his husband do? Why did he provoke them? I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.
At this time, Qiu Jinse also stood in front of Qin An and stared fixedly at him like Tang Yu.
The two women looked up and down and finally frowned.
"Weng Lan, are you sure? There is not a trace of him on this person. How can you tell?"
Tang Yu was puzzled.
"It can't be said that there isn't a trace of him. The way you look at him is very similar."
"Damn it, are you and Weng Lan looking for trouble? Can you tell the difference in their eyes?"
Qiu Jinse blushed. She really felt that the man in front of her looked very much like Qin An, but she also thought that this could not be used as evidence.
"There's also his expression, occasional movements, tone of voice, and abilities! All of these can be confirmed!"
Weng Lan was a little proud. Indeed, she had observed Qin An the most carefully. She recognized him with a single glance.
The three Qin Beichen brothers were even more dumbfounded. After exchanging glances, they simultaneously locked their eyes on Qin An.
Who does this kid look like? I didn't see it. Handsome is quite handsome, but there's nothing special about the others, right?
Qin An looked at the three women surrounding him and felt Ding Haitang's nervousness. He helplessly smiled bitterly and said,
'"Alright, we're all living in the same city. In the future, we'll have time to read and understand each other. Now that we're in front of the Fang Clan's courtyard, isn't this creating news for me again? It's a joke to be told that the Qin Clan's Third Madame has been widowed for many years and that she can't keep up with the pursuit of a man called Qin An."
Qin An's words were very casual. The key was that he felt that he was familiar with the three women. He would often pay attention to what they were doing. Qin An's detection range was the entire city. Even if the distance between the south and north of the city was dozens of kilometers, he would still be able to know their situation.
As soon as Qin An said those words, the three women felt a little embarrassed, while the three young masters of the Qin Family jumped off their feet.
Damn it! This kid actually dared to tease their mother in public?
Qin Potian, who was the hardest-eyed, directly attacked. When no one had reacted, his fist had already hit Qin An's side.
"Heaven Breaking No!"
The three women were so shocked that their hearts almost jumped out of their chests. At the same time, they had no time to stop them from shouting.
Qin An knew that Qin Potian's strength was very strong. The legend of the Overlord Divine Sword was well-known. Qin Potian's strength was said to be capable of breaking space. It was no joke.
Therefore, Qin An did not dare to be careless. He concentrated on raising his right hand and grabbed Qin Potian's fist when it was about to touch his body.
Fortunately, this brat was honest, but he didn't use much strength in this punch. He probably wanted to teach himself a lesson.
Qin An removed all of Qin Potian's strength, then dodged sideways, causing Qin Potian to lose his center of gravity. He brushed past Qin An for seven or eight steps before stopping.
On one side, Qin Beichen and Qin Sanchuan were all dumbfounded.
Who exactly is this kid? Isn't this awesome? He was actually able to easily remove Qin Potian's fist power! Even if Qin Potian didn't try his best, it was still the Overlord's fist. How could it be neutralized?
Seeing that Qin An was safe and sound, the three women finally felt relieved.
Qiu Jinse scolded, "Breaking the Heavens, you're already two daughters-in-law. Why are you still so impulsive? Hurry up and stop. This person is a friend of the Qin Family, and most likely your elders. Don't be rude!"
Qin Potian almost stumbled and fell because of Qin An. Originally, he felt that he had lost face and wanted to continue attacking.
But after hearing Qiu Jinse's words, he was immediately stunned. He didn't understand why this brat had become a friend of the Qin Clan so quickly. Could he be an elder? Could it be that the late father still has such a little brother? Probably not. My father only had a younger brother named Qin Le. He died nine years ago.
At this moment, Weng Lan opened her mouth and said,
"Alright, alright! Potian, stop messing around. Qin An, bring your wife back as well. We will visit you in the future, and we might go there often."
Qin An nodded slightly and said,
"Alright, but wait until I get back from the front."
"Are you really going to the front? Are you going to join the army?"
"No, I'll go by myself. Bring my wife. Let me introduce her to you. Her name is Ding Haitang. She has been by my side ever since I regained consciousness. No matter what happens in the future, I will always let her follow me."
Qin An stingily pointed out a few women and told them that he had a wife now.
Weng Lan and the other two women were naturally even more depressed, but there was nothing they could do. Apart from Weng Lan, the other two were still unable to confirm that Qin An was the reincarnation of the man in front of them.
In addition to the entanglement, they were actually more sad.
His appearance had changed, his memories had disappeared, and he had a new family and life circle.
Even if his soul belonged to Qin An, now that he didn't even have a trace of Qin An, could he still be considered the same person as him?
I don't understand, I don't understand.
The conversation ended here. Weng Lan chatted warmly with the reserved Haitang on behalf of the two women, and then invited her to visit the Qin Family if she had the chance in the future.
None of the three women cared much about Qin An wanting to go to the frontlines on his own.
It could be seen that this Qin An was very strong now, at least not weaker than the previous Qin An.
Then let him go to the front line. No matter how much he wanted Qin An to return, it seemed to take a long time. For Qin An, this was the case. For the three women and all the children, they also needed to slowly adapt. After all, there was a big gap between the people in front of them and their Qin An.
Under the reluctance of the three children, Weng Lan and the others finally bid farewell to Qin An.
The purpose of this trip was to meet Qin An. In fact, the Qin Family had a lot of things to do.
Guo Sihai had already issued an order that Hanghai City should form an army of more than 600,000 men. After that, it would merge with the 400,000 standing troops stationed in Hanghai City and head to the frontlines together.
The Qin Clan was in charge of the military and civil affairs of the northern city. Guo Sihai also communicated with the women of the Qin Clan. The Qin Clan would gather 400,000 troops in the northern part of the city. In addition, the 100,000 Qin Clan troops would also be sent to the frontlines.
There was nothing he could do. Adadillan had only been fighting in front of him for three days, and the troops that had been deployed had already suffered heavy losses. The ferocity of the beast tide surpassed even a thought.
Although the Qin army was a private army of the Qin Family, they had no choice but to act for the safety of the empire at this moment.
Of course, the reason why Weng Lan and the other women agreed to the Qin army's expedition was because Weng Lan was 100% sure that Qin An's soul was still alive and that they could spend the rest of their lives with Qin An.
Then the matter of avenging Qin An would become less urgent. If Qin An could return, he could complete it himself.
Therefore, in order to deal with this Qin Clan army prepared by the Death Sect, they finally needed to display their strength. This could be considered a real combat training.
Since they were about to leave, there were naturally a lot of things to prepare, so Weng Lan and the others couldn't waste too much time. They were also satisfied when they ran over to see Qin An. In the future, they needed to get along with Qin An slowly.
Although the three children were somewhat reluctant and wanted to know more about Qin An's background, they were forcefully taken away by the three women. The Qin family's children had a good family background, which was related to Qin An's attitude towards the children's education back then. Although they did not have a father to accompany them when they grew up, the women did not coddle the children. They were still very obedient in front of their parents.
After the group of people left, Haitang finally let out a long breath and suddenly grabbed Qin An's hand.
"Darling, you've become so unfamiliar these days. You're so different, even the Qin Family treats you differently. I think you must have a secret that I don't know. Darling, will you really not abandon the ordinary me in the end?"
"Don't worry too much. There's only one reason I left you, and that's because you won't be happy when I'm by your side."
Qin An pulled out a love sentence. This sentence almost made Ding Haitang cry. She thought that her happiness was too intense and hot, causing her tears to instantly evaporate.
Seeing that Ding Haitang was very excited and her tears had already rolled around her eyes, Qin An hurriedly changed the topic and said,
"The Fang Clan has come for nothing today. Ah, it's boring. Why don't we go out of the city and go to the front lines? I'll take you to fight against the monsters!"
