Capítulo 763: Chapter 765: East Island, Qiancheng Family (Part 3)
“Who is it!”
Zhao Ling sprang up from the ground, his angry gaze fixed on the sky, “Who is ambushing us from behind? Show yourself!”
Whoosh!
A fierce flame sliced through the sky and struck Zhao Ling in the chest. With a puff, Zhao Ling’s body was sent flying into the air and he crashed heavily to the ground.
But before he could react, consecutively arriving flames instantly engulfed him…
Everyone was stunned, obviously unable to recover from this sudden change, staring blankly at Zhao Ling as he wailed under the flames…
“Run!”
“Run fast!”
At that moment, everyone from the Tiger Dragon Gang had the same thought. Exchanging glances, they hastily dropped their weapons and scurried down the mountain.
Seeing their departure, the Qiancheng Family members couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, and did not pursue. Instead, they looked up at the dusky blue sky and spoke.
“May I ask which senior has come to our rescue?”
Underneath the sky, there was silence, no one answered his question…
Qian Chengyan furrowed his brows, “Senior, I, Qian Chengyan, deeply remember your life-saving grace. May I ask if you could reveal yourself so that I may repay your kindness.”
The breeze swept through, and within the whole forest, it was so quiet that not a sound could be heard…
“Young master,” Xiong Da scratched his head, chuckling, “Could it be some passing expert couldn’t stand by and so lent a hand to save our lives?”
The frown on Qian Chengyan’s face relaxed, “Perhaps that’s the case, Xiong Da, let’s go. We’ve gained a lot this time, and the wedding present for the Zhu Ge Family is also ready.”
As he spoke, he turned his gaze toward the carriage behind him, his clear eyes brimming with a soft light.
…
In Junzhou, on the bustling streets, a carriage sped past. Upon seeing the emblem affixed to that carriage, a look of sympathy appeared in everyone’s eyes.
In front, driving the carriage, Xiong Da felt something was amiss but didn’t think much of it and, with a shout, headed towards the Qiancheng Family’s residence.
At this moment, in front of the Qiancheng Family’s household, the gates had been split into two, the family plaque lay on the ground, and even the stone lions beside the road had toppled over.
From a distance, all was in disarray. Where was the former glory?
“What… what happened?” Xiong Da was stunned for a moment, dismounted from his horse, and stared, dumbfounded, at the scene before him.
They had only been away for a few months, why had the Qiancheng Family undergone such changes?
Qian Chengyan’s steps faltered, his fists trembling, his still youthful face flushed with rage, “Qin Family! It must have been the Qin Family’s doing!”
As he was speaking, a servant-like figure dashed out from inside. Upon seeing Qian Chengyan entering, he paused for a moment, then turned his head and shouted loudly.
“Family Head, the young master has returned, the young master is back…”
No sooner had the words left him than a tottering middle-aged man emerged from behind the dilapidated gate. The man instantly caught sight of the young man at the door, and his eyes could not help but well up with tears.
“Yan’er, you have finally returned. The Qin Family claimed they had hired assassins to take your life, I feared…”
Feared that he might never see his son again in this lifetime.
“Father!” Qian Chengyan took a deep breath, but within his heart raged a fury that he couldn’t suppress, “What on earth happened?”
Qian Chengyunlong gave a wry smile, “It was the Qin Family’s doing!”

Something happened at home yesterday, so I couldn’t sleep all night and didn’t start sleeping until the morning… But thankfully, everything is alright now, thank you all for your concern~~~ I was sleeping during the day today, hence why the writing is late, and I probably can’t make it to 10,000 updates by midnight, I’ll update as much as I can before that…
