Soaring of Galaxia
chapter-627

With the candle wax in hand, Qin Wushuang squeezed it and gently broke it into pieces. Indeed, a ball of paper was wrapped inside of it. After opening it, he saw it was a letter.

The letter was not long and it was written to Qin Wushuang. He knew this because the beginning of the letter had the words, "Please read Young Master."

"Young master, I know that you will certainly be reading this letter. I don't believe all of those boring rumors from the outside world. Your kindness is as weighty as the mountain of gratitude. I would have to work like an an ox or horse to return your kindness. If I can come back successfully from the Nine Raven Empire, you will surely not be able to see this letter. If you sees this letter, most likely I have not returned. It's not because I forget favors and violate justice, but the grudge of my family is hard to explain in a few words. Recently, I received news that my little sister is still alive and that she'd been offered to the shameless aristocrats by bandit Fei. My little sister and I rely upon one another for survival. I cannot live in peace if I do not go rescue her. If this mission fails, I will die for sure. For your great kindness, I can only repay you in my next life…"

Qin Wushuang gave a long sigh. He saw that five or six months had passed from the date inscribed on the back of the letter and knew that a lot of things could happen in five or six months.

Qin Wushuang felt upset. From the moment he heard of his mysterious disappearance, he knew that something was weird. Running just before a battle was never Xiao Guan's way of doing things. He knew there must have been some ulterior motives.

Apparently, this Xiao Guan had designed it well. If he could return successfully from the Nine Raven Empire, naturally he would destroy this letter.

If he had not returned, ordinary servants would not be able to find this letter.

One must say that this Xiao Guan had designed it intelligently. After looking around some more, Qin Wushuang returned to the hall when he did not find any other clues.

"Wushuang, did you find anything?"

Qin Wushuang showed the letter to Qin Lianshan. Qin Lianshan was also speechless. "He has been gone to the Nine Raven Empire for a while. This Xiao Guan is still young and impatient."

Qin Wushuang gave a long sigh. "We are not to blame Xiao Guan. Initially, he thought none of his family was alive. When he suddenly received intelligence that one of his sisters was alive, of course he would try to rescue her."

Qin Wushuang had rather understood Xiao Guan's impulsive actions. If something were to happen to Qin Wushuang's sister, Qin Xiu, surely he would go rescue her regardless of all consequences.

"Wushuang, what do you plan to do?" Qin Lianshan asked.

"Father, this Xiao Guan did not have it easy, I want to take a look. Anyways, with my current speed it would not take me much time to get to the Nine Raven Empire."

In the past, Qin Wushuang would have needed almost ten days to travel several thousands of miles. Now, Qin Wushuang was at the Profound Void Martial Stage and had the Purple Cloud Ying Yang Wings, so one day was enough for him to get to the destination.

Qin Lianshan did not oppose him. The Heavenly Royal Mansion treated all servants with kindness. Since this Xiao Guan was one of their subordinates, of course they should not sit and do nothing.

"It's good that you go. However, Wushuang, if you can take care of it with a low-profile, that would be wise." Qin Lianshan was also considering his son's well-being for it would be best not to make powerful enemies.

Qin Wushuang nodded. When he found Mu Rong Xu, she was playing with Chengcheng and Qin Xiu. Qin Xiu was telling Mu Rong Xu of Qin Wushuang's childhood stories as they played.

Just as she was talking about the dangerous moment of the duel between Qin Wushuang and Zhang Xian, Qin Wushuang walked over and laughed. "Sis, are you revealing all my stories again?"

Qin Xiu said with a smile, "Wushuang, isn't it all because Xu'Er likes to hear about them?"

Mu Rong Xu's beautiful face blushed as she said, "Brother Qin, don't interrupt, can you let you sister finish telling me?"

Qin Wushuang responded, "Xu'Er, let her tell you some other time. I have to go to the Nine Raven Empire."

"Going to the Nine Raven Empire again? Didn't we just get back?" Mu Rong Xu was not unfamiliar with the Nine Raven Empire. That was the place where she and Qin Wushuang had met.

"Xu'Er, something happened to the kid, Xiao Guan. He doesn't have any other people to depend on. If I don't go now, no one will help him." Qin Wushuang narrated the events and the letter from beginning to end.

Mu Rong Xu had an impression of Xiao Guan. In fact, this Xiao Guan was the matchmaker for her and Qin Wushuang. If Xiao Guan had not gotten thrown out by someone unexpectedly, Qin Wushuang would not have stepped out. Perhaps, Mu Rong Xu would not have taken notice of such man and his unconventional actions.

"Ok, sis. Tell me more when we come back." Mu Rong Xu chuckled, for clearly, she was becoming familiar with Qin Xiu.

The more Qin Xiu looked at her beautiful sister, the more she liked her. Brimming with happiness, she said, "Ok, then return quickly. I will wait for you."

"Chengcheng will also wait for you," The little boy that was playing on the side also said out of blue.

When they left the Bai Yue Country, Qin Wushuang exerted all his efforts to use the Purple Cloud Ying Yang Wings fully as they headed towards the Nine Raven Empire. At nightfall of the same day, they had arrived at the capital city of the Nine Raven Empire.

During the trip, Qin Wushuang had discussed with Qin Xiu. Certainly it would be difficult for them to find a person without any clues. After all, Xiao Guan had been gone from the royal mansion for a few months now.

Therefore, they planned to find an acquaintance, the Sect Leader Shao Bailong. A while back, Qin Wushuang had helped him finish a mission, so he was incredibly grateful for Qin Wushuang.

Qin Wushuang also met with Mu Rong Xu at Shao Bailong's restaurant, so he was considered their mutual friend.

Qin Wushuang head directly towards the Iron Fan Gate. Since he had come here a few times in the past, it was like a walk in the park to navigate his way. He arrived to the surrounding area of the Iron Fan Gate.

With Qin Wushuang's current strength any disciples in the area would not be able to locate his whereabouts.

After a few years had passed, he noticed Shao Bailong had restored the Iron Fan Gate to a flourishing condition after ridding himself of that sore point from his heart.

It was a piece of cake for elite warriors of the Void Martial Stage to enter this place. Like the wind, Qin Wushuang and Mu Rong Xu had arrived at the core area of the Iron Fan Gate.

As they approached, they could see that Shao Bailong was training by himself in the back courtyard.

Suddenly, he felt a gust of wind blow before him as a small crowd of bamboo trees trembled. This gust of wind had emerged without good cause, making Shao Bailong slightly surprised. When he fixed his gaze, he saw nothing.

Just when he was getting suspicious, suddenly, tiny vague shadows came out from behind the bamboo bunches. hese two shadows slowly became clearer and focused.

As the two figures took a final step forward, Shao Bailong realized that someone had truly come to visit him.

However, the strength of these uninvited guests clearly surpassed Shao Bailong's common sense. What kind of method was this?

To martial artists of the Spiritual Martial Force, the divine skills of the Void Martial Stage could indeed, surpass their comprehension.

Qin Wushuang revealed a light smile. "Sect Leader Shao, I trust you have been well since we last met? For a few years we have not seen each other, has your graceful bearing surpassed before?"

With these past years, Shao Bailong had also made some refined progress. Yet now, he was filled with fear and suspicion. He looked at the person before him that had appeared like a gust of wind. Fluttering in and out of the breeze, it made him unsure whether it was a person or a ghost talking to him.

The phantom image could transform one at the Void Martial Stage to resemble something like a wave. The sway of the shadows made the image appear extremely strange and ghost-like. While Shao Bailong was bewildered, he also sensed some familiarity from the voice he was hearing.

"Sect Leader Shao, it's true that even nobility forgets things. Could it be you've already forgotten that in that year…"

"You… You are…" Shao Bailong suddenly remembered that this person before him was the elite warrior who had helped him kill the traitor. Initially, Shao Bailong had referred to Qin Wushuang as "Sir".

Later on, he learned that this unknown warrior was the world-famous Qin Wushuang. Now, relating everything together, he could not refrain from being somewhat expressionless. "You are Young Master Qin?"

Qin Wushuang laughed. "I didn't expect that my identity would escape from you."

Shao Bailong gave a long and relaxed breath. Since he was an old acquaintance, surely this person had not come with vile intentions. He also respected Qin Wushuang very much and never lost his manner.

"It truly is Young Master Qin. I haven't forgotten your great kindness from the past. I only learned of your identity afterwards and I never had the chance to pay a visit." Shao Bailong was being courteous as he was still rather shocked. He knew that things had changed very much for Qin Wushuang since the last time they were together. Most likely, he was afraid that he had reached the Void Martial Stage where one could transform out of the void.

"You are too modest, Sect Leader Shao. You should know a little bit of why I have come this time." Qin Wushuang did not beat the brass. Since he was worried about Xiao Guan's safety, of course he went straight to the point.

Shao Bailong was not unfamiliar with Xiao Guan. During the time when Qin Wushuang had entered the Dispersed Praying Mountain, Xiao Guan had lived at Shao Bailong's place.

If Xiao Guan had truly returned to the Nine Raven Empire, the eyes and network of Shao Bailong would surely be aware of it.

Stunned, Shao Bailong realized that this Young Master Qin was not someone who liked to beat the grass. With his directness, he did not conceal the fact and nodded. "You have come for Xiao Guan, right?"

"Yes, indeed you are a direct person." Qin Wushuang appreciated this point as he asked with a smile, "As you are an elite warrior of a territory, despite thousands of words, I will only ask one thing: has Xiao Guan come here before?"

Before Qin Wushuang, Shao Bailong no longer capable of lying, nor was it necessary for him to do so.

"Yes he had come." Shao Bailong nodded and then explained, "Young Master Qin, are you going to blame me for ignoring him, as this matter does not concern myself?"

Qin Wushuang said lightly, "This is not to blame you. You had already shown your responsibility by taking Xiao Guan in for a while. Xiao Guan is not related to you. It's no big deal if you did not get involved."

Shao Bailong shook his head with shame and gave a long sigh. "Young Master Qin, to tell you the truth, I had tried. The person Xiao Guan had offended is not just a Marquis of the secular world. This time… Ah, he has knocked against an iron board."

"Iron board?" Qin Wushuang revealed an indifferent smile and declined to comment.

He could not think of any other iron board that could be in the human countries.

Upon seeing Qin Wushuang's expression, Shao Bailong immediately knew of his mistake as he explained, "Of course, if you are to step out for Xiao Guan, that iron board would only be a piece of thin paper that could get poked through."

Qin Wushuang waved his hand. "Sect Leader Shao, who had Xiao Guan offended?"

Shao Bailong wanted to say something, but then hesitated. Clearly, this time Xiao Guan's enemy made him unable to speak out easily. This was human nature. After all, Shao Bailong was not a first-rate elite warrior at the Nine Raven Empire. There would always be people in power he could not offend.

However, after some careful consideration, he still said, "The person he had offended is a powerful authority figure at the Nine Raven Temple!"
