Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1619 One by one

As soon as Tian Yan finished speaking, a disciple came over to report:
  "Miss, Tian Mi, the master of Kuei Hall, has come to pay his respects."

"Invite her in." Tian Yan, Tian Hu and Tian Zhong looked at each other and replied with a smile.

The disciple retreated, and Tian Hu laughed and praised, "Ayan, no wonder my eldest brother always said that you were the female Guan Zhong of a farmer's family. You really know things like a god!"

"How did you guess that woman would come to your door?"

Tian Yan lowered his eyes and replied with a smile, "Because she has no choice."

"The Zhu family is definitely not a good choice for her, let alone... Shengqi!"

Hearing the name, Tian Hu's face darkened and he turned to look at Tian Zhong, "He's back?"

Tian Zhong showed hesitation and did not answer.

He really didn't know that Sheng Qichai hadn't come back, but...if he judged it logically, the chance of the other party returning to the farm at this time was indeed not small.

This is really a big trouble.

The scandal back then was exposed by Tian Meng, and it was only with the vigorous promotion of their Tian family that it finally evolved into the ending - Sheng Qi was buried in the pond, and Tian Mi became the leader of the hall.

Tian Hu didn't know whether there was something fishy about this matter, and he didn't want to know. In short, the result was good for the Tian group.

But this also caused a deadly feud between Shengqi and those of them named Tian.

Of course, Shengqi, as the leader of the non-Tian faction within the farm family, had a very bad relationship with them, and it didn't matter if it worsened further.

After all, he is already an outcast who has been kicked out of the farm family, a disgrace to the farm family, and is not qualified to intervene in the internal affairs of the farm family.

But things are different now.

As soon as Shennong's order came out, the conflicts between the two sides intensified. It was impossible and unnecessary for the Zhu family to tell them the rules.

Whoever becomes the hero now will be the one who rules!
  If the Zhu family forced the seven-game winner to help, Tian Hu and the others would not be able to stop it at all - the two sides were already at odds with each other, and there was no room for discussion. All they could do was to protest and condemn them without any pain.

As for Shengqi's strength... Tian Hu and the others must admit that they are a tough opponent.

There are many masters in the farmhouse, and currently there is no clear strongest one. Some people think it is Tian Meng, some think it is Qu Shang, and some people think the Zhu family has a deep secret.

But before Shengqi was kicked out of the farmhouse, there was a clear answer to this question - he was the strongest!

His master is the one with the highest combat effectiveness among the six hall masters of the previous generation, and he has perfectly continued his master's style.

It is very disadvantageous for them that such a master joins the Zhu family.

………………

"When I come back this time, I just want to think about one thing that has been weighing on my mind for many years." Looking at the sparkling lake, Sheng Qi said to the Zhu family in a deep voice.

This also gave him the answer to the Zhu family's request.

He didn't want to get involved in the so-called battle between heroes and leaders, which was meaningless to him, an outcast from a peasant family.

He just wants to take this opportunity to... take revenge!
  Of course, now he has another purpose, and he may have to meet his life-and-death brother who has been away for many years.

When the Zhu family saw that Sheng Qi didn't agree, they were not in a hurry. They turned back to their 'sorrow' side and replied calmly, "If you want to end this worry, you have to face a name that you least want to hear."

"Tian Mi..." Sheng Qi's face was gloomy, and he slowly uttered two words, his tone unprecedentedly complex.

There is hatred, resentment, murderous intent, incomprehension and doubt, and even a hint of withdrawal that is unwilling to face it. As Zhu Jia said, this name was the last thing he wanted to hear, and he actually didn’t want to face this person.

Otherwise, he would not have waited for so many years until civil strife was about to break out in the farmhouse before finally making up his mind to return to the farmhouse and settle this matter once and for all.

The Zhu family seemed to be kind-hearted and reminded, "She is very famous now. She is the leader of Kuei Hall and has thousands of disciples. But you are just a despised peasant disciple. You can't defeat her."

The subtext of this statement is - you need help!
  Shengqi is not a reckless man with big chest (muscles) and no brains. He has experienced the ups and downs of life and has his own understanding of the world.

He also heard the hidden meaning in Zhu's words, but he did not continue and replied calmly:
  "This is my own business!"

Seeing that he was not getting enough food and salt, the Zhu family had no choice but to say directly:
  "Brother, don't be so stubborn. If you help me, I can also help you. A win-win situation for everyone is the right way!"

"You help me win the position of the hero, and I will help you return to the farm, and I can also help you escape from the trap." Zhu's mask quietly switched back to 'Xi', and he smiled and touched his beard and suggested, "Here we go. At that time, Kuei Hall is still yours, isn't it beautiful?"

It sounded really beautiful. Sheng Qi stared at the lake in a daze, recalling in a daze the day he was sunk into the pond many years ago.

The lake water at that time seemed to be the same as the water surface in front of him. The only difference was... the former almost killed him.

After coming back to his senses, Shengqi did not speak, but replied with the same tone, "This is my own business."

Zhu's face turned back to a 'sad' look, and he drooped his head dejectedly, "Okay, I won't force you, brother."

"Farewell."

Having said that, it was basically over. Shengqi stopped staying, grabbed the wine bottle, and turned around to leave.

The Zhu family turned around and shouted to Sheng Qi who was leaving step by step:
  "Let me remind you - you can never underestimate a woman like Tian Mi."

"This time, you may still encounter the nightmare you had back then."

Shengqi stopped, looked down at the wine bottle in his hand, suddenly raised his hand and drank it down, then threw it behind him and walked away again.

The round wine bottle rolled on the wooden platform a few times and then got stuck on the gap.

The Zhu family looked at the wine pot, completely lost in thought and silent.

………………

Songhai, above the mirage, there is a cabin on the bottom floor.

It was daytime at this time, but the cabin was completely dark, with only a very weak light source, allowing people to barely see the outline of objects.

In the darkness, Shao Yu and Shi Lan worked together to drag an object into the cabin.

After coming in, the two of them took a breath. Shao Yu, who was still blind, stretched out his hands and groped around in front of him. After confirming that he was pulling the right thing, he said with a smile:

"Say boy, how did you end up like this?"

Tianming's voice then sounded in the darkness, with a slightly suppressed moan, and others seemed a little uncomfortable:
  "You ask me, who am I asking!"

"I didn't know anything. As soon as I closed and opened my eyes, my whole body started to ache, and it got worse and worse... Fortunately, I hid it well and didn't let them catch me!"

It seems that the object Shao Yu and Shi Lan dragged just now is Tianming.

The two of them picked up Tianming from nowhere and dragged him all the way to their latest hiding place.
