239: Meet

Meet

Inside the pear garden, Qin Hanyu was tidying up the route map in his hand. He had gone through every location in the stronghold but still could not locate where the mutated plant was.1

He knocked on the table with his slender hands and pointed at a location, at last deciding to investigate the meeting room.

While deep in thought, knocking on the door came from outside. Qin Hanyu hid the map indifferently, smoothened out his clothes, and asked warmly, "Who is it?"

"Older Brother Ming, this is Du Yi. There's a group of people that want to join our stronghold, but the Lord isn't free to meet now, so I brought them to you."

Qin Hanyu remembered Du Yi as his memory had always been good. The information about Lin Hai caused his sharp eyes to turn profound as his lips curled slightly upwards, knowing what the lord was busy with.

This apparently gentle village was definitely a tomb for heroes, although Lin Hai was nowhere near a hero.

"Got it, bring them in," Qin Hanyu replied indifferently.

The door opened and Du Yi and Wang Wei were the first to enter, six dark figures following behind them.

Qin Hanyu gave a casual glance while his eyes suddenly flashed with playfulness. The silhouette before him was God's perfect creation. He gave a smile that looked gentle, but his eyes contained a hint of mockery.

"Heh, so these are the people you said wanted to join us. En, not bad, I'm taking them. You guys can leave first."

Du Yi did not expect Older brother Ming to agree so easily, standing in place in a daze. Wang Wen had to pull his arm for him to react, quickly nodding his head and leaving the pear garden with Wang Wei.

After Wang Wei and Du Yi's departure, Qin Hanyu pulled on his white sleeves, revealing his powerful arms. Qin Hanyu ignored the six people and looked down as he spoke leisurely, "Who would have thought that the Young Emperor and Lord Che of the four lords of the capital would actually become black brutes. You guys could not take it any longer and decided to join some bandits?"

Yun Huan looked at Qin Hanyu indifferently. He never expected Qin Hanyu to be Older brother Ming, but upon considering it, he knew that the man should be here on a mission.

Yun Huan glanced at Qin Hanyu indifferently and squinted his peach blossom eyes, his perfectly refined features gleaming with a pearl light, "I never thought that Young lord Qin of the four lords would actually be the second head of the stronghold. What about it, is Young lord Qin also unable to stay in the capital?"

Chen Che glanced at the hostility between the two and rolled his eyes with disinterest, "I've had enough of the two of you. We haven't met for so many years and you guys are immediately at odds, how boring. To meet each other is fate and to see each other here means that our fate runs deep. Everyone should sit down, drink tea, and have a nice long chat. What do you say Big Bai?"

Big Bai gave a warm smile and nodded his head towards Qin Hanyu, "Young Lord Qin, long time no see."

Qin Hanyu gave a smile as well, this time the sincerity in his eyes deepening. "It has indeed been a long time. So many years have passed, right? What are you guys doing here, is it for a mission as well?"

Qin Hanyu was genuinely happy to see them. Although the Qin Family had moved out of the capital, there were times when their father would bring them back to stay for a period of time and visit old friends.

He had known the group since he was young and had a good relationship with them. Yun Huan and he were in a love and hate relationship, like how water and fire were incompatible, but it was still a good relationship, nonetheless.

As they grew older, the times where his father headed to the capital grew less and less, so his communication with Yun Huan and the others decreased greatly.
