Chapter 126: The Guardian Cang Lin
"What do you want?" the man said weakly.
"I just want to know the truth." Qin Taihe asked, "How did my father and grandfather die?"
The man seemed a little surprised, "So you didn't know? Then why are you so ruthless when you attack?"
Qin Taihe grabbed him by the collar and said, "You'd better confess."
"Bah!" The man spat out a mouthful of blood, "I don't know!"
With a bang, Qin Taihe punched him on the cheek. He didn't use any spiritual power, but with just his physical strength, he made half of the opponent's face quickly become red and swollen, and his head tilted to the side.
"Will you tell me or not!?"
Qin Taihe roared in a low voice while punching and kicking him without any rules.
Ruan Xing shook his head. This method of forcing a confession was too low-level, not even one-tenth as good as that used in some places in his previous life.
However, Qin Taihe has been suppressing his emotions for so long, it would be good for him to vent.
So they remained silent and Ruan Xing said nothing.
Instead, the man couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "Cang Lin! Cang Lin! Why don't you come out to save me? Do you want to see me get beaten to death?!"
Hmm? Anyone else?
Ruan Xing was startled and quickly became alert, looking around for possible directions.
Qin Tai He no longer tortured the man physically, but drew his sword to warn him.
As if he felt that there was no point in hiding any longer, a man walked out from the shadows. His appearance was so ordinary that he had no sense of existence. If he had not been called out by someone, Ruan Xing and Qin Tai Hezhen would probably not have been able to find him. By the time he was willing to come out, Ruan Xing might have lost another simulation chance.
Fortunately, the person who was beaten was not so tough and could not keep his temper. Ruan Xing should thank him very much.
Seeing Qin Taihe's hostile gaze, the man named Cang Lin stopped a few dozen steps away from them. He paused and said in a calm and indifferent voice, "Hello, young master."
He... came over to say hello? Was he so friendly?
Ruan Xing was a little confused.
Qin Taihe raised his sword and asked coldly, "Who are you?"
"I..." Cang Lin suddenly got stuck, "I'm sorry, Master, I can't tell you, Master, are you going to kill Qin Taimo?"
It turns out that the man on the ground was called Qin Taimo.
"So what?"
Facing Qin Taihe's defensive attitude, Cang Lin didn't care, but said calmly: "I can tell him after he dies."
Hearing this, Qin Taimo suddenly became anxious and shouted in panic: "Cang Lin! You are my protector, you want to stand on the side of this little bastard? You traitor, are you going to betray the Qin Tai family?"
He led Qin Taihe and the other man away fearlessly. Not only because he was confident that his cultivation was higher than the other two, but also because he had a bodyguard hiding in the dark to protect him. Normally, whenever he encountered danger, Cang Lin would take action to resolve it, but this time, he watched him get beaten for so long without showing up!
What a damned thing!
Qin Taimo kept cursing in his heart and twisting his body anxiously. If it weren't for Cang Lin, he would rather detonate his golden elixir than let Qin Taihe, that little bastard, tie him up.
Jindan scolds Yuanying?
Ruan Xing was stunned.
Has the concept of clan hierarchy in Xizhou begun to surpass the one based on cultivation level?
Cang Lin turned a deaf ear and just asked Qin Taihe, "Young Master, do you want to kill him?" Qin Taihe had just beaten Qin Taimo and had long lost that impulsive mood. At this moment, he raised his sword with a trembling hand and turned the tip of the sword to point at Qin Taimo.
He has been in the Xuanbing Sect for more than 20 years. His master has protected him very well. All his life, he has never killed a real monster, but now he is starting to kill people, and they are his blood relatives.
Although he sounded decisive before, he began to hesitate when it came time to take action.
Seeing his uneasy look, Ruan Xing whispered, "If you can't do it, I'll help you."
"Need not!"
Qin Taihe's voice was a little exaggerated. After he said it, he realized that he had overreacted. He took a deep breath to calm himself down, and his eyes became firm.
"I'm going to ask you one last time, will you tell me?"
"I told you I don't know! You bastard! Why don't you die outside? You only know how to bully me, if you have the guts, go kill the clan leader!" Qin Taimo cursed desperately and madly, his body struggling violently.
He never dreamed that he would end up like this today.
Hearing Qin Taimo insulting Fairy Qingping, Qin Taihe's eyes flashed with burning anger, and without hesitation he pierced Qin Taimo's chest with a sword.
He stabbed several times in a row as if to vent his anger, and Ruan Xing could hardly bear to look at it. The corpse was originally blasted by her to the point that only half of the skin was intact, and Qin Taihe had poked so many big holes in it. How could she repair it so that she could draw talismans on the skin?
What a waste. We lost a self-destructive puppet but can’t get it back.
Ruan Xing looked regretful.
Qintai He stopped and looked at Canglin, "What about you, what do you know?"
"I was originally your grandfather's protector." Cang Lin said.
Qin Taihe looked surprised, but Ruan Xing suddenly realized. No wonder Cang Lin was on Qin Taihe's side.
He continued, "I don't know much. I was born a servant, and was fortunate enough to be chosen by my ancestors to be a protector and trained by the clan. When I was building my foundation, your grandfather was born, and I was sent to his side. We have been together for hundreds of years. At that time, the eldest son and his wife were deeply in love and traveled around. Your grandfather was in seclusion to break through to the God Transformation Realm. For some reason, the clan suddenly sent a message to ask the eldest son to go to a certain place to get something. After that, the news of the eldest son's death came. Your grandfather learned the bad news while in seclusion, and he was so upset that his meridians reversed, failed to break through, and died suddenly."
"The one in charge of the family at that time was the second son, Qin Taimo. I have been in seclusion to protect your grandfather, so I know very little about the outside world. I have not even seen the secret order with my own eyes. I only know that it was given to him by the clan to issue."
"So that's how it is." Qin Taihe was somewhat distraught, "They actually died like this."
"Young Master, you also heard it just now. Qin Taimo asked you to kill the clan leader... He was talking about the current clan leader." Cang Lin whispered, "If your grandfather is not dead, after he successfully breaks through to the God Transformation, he will be the clan leader."
Cang Lin's words were not vague, and the matter was already very clear at this point.
Only the lineage of the clan leader is the legitimate branch and can enjoy the greatest resources within the clan, so in order to compete for the position of clan leader candidate, the brothers killed each other, and Qin Taihe's father became a victim. Perhaps the purpose of the person behind the scenes was just to prevent Qin Taihe's grandfather from breaking through to the level of a god, but by mistake, both of them lost their lives.
Qin Taimo was short-sighted. For the sake of a little bit of profit promised by that man, he caused his father to lose the position of clan leader. He did not even think about the fact that if his father was elected as the clan leader, he would also be a member of the direct branch. Wouldn't he get no share of the benefits?
Qin Taihe's eyes were filled with sadness. Did he have to fight against the entire Qin Tai family to avenge his father and grandfather?
He was silent for a while before asking, "What are you going to do?"
Cang Lin was stunned for a moment. "After the death of the eldest son and his family... I was inherited by Qin Taimo. In fact, I am just the property and weapon of the Qin Tai family. Now that the second son is dead, I belong to the young son. If the young son doesn't want me... I may be assigned to another place in the clan."
But tools also have their own thoughts and emotions. He hated Qin Taimo for killing the eldest son and his son, so when Qin Taihe wanted to kill Qin Taimo, he chose to stand by and watch.
