The Prodigal Son

An unexpected disaster left Qin Yu deeply depressed.

Although he knew that the other person had held back, that kick really hurt!

"Who told you to hide and not come out?"

Qin Yu got up and glared at the two men, annoyed. "Is this how you protect people? You have no basic professional ethics!"

"You should be grateful, kid!"

A smirk flickered in Gui San's eyes. "The last person to insult us like you is probably about your age now! If it weren't for your great victory over the enemy, we would have hung you up and whipped you!"

"Yeah, give it a good whack!"

Gui Si added.

"hehe……"

Qin Yu patted the footprints off his clothes and complained to Xu Wan and Qi Dachui, "Why didn't you two stop me?! You just stood by and watched me get beaten up?"

"Thirteenth Young Master, we can't stop him..."

Qi Dachui lowered his head in shame.

"Alright, what are you doing with your head down like that?"

Qin Yu lightly punched Qi Dachui, "I was just kidding! I knew you couldn't stop them, so I'm not blaming you."

"oh."

Qi Dachui then raised his head and gave a simple, honest smile.

Qin Yu looked Qi Dachui and Xu Wan up and down, and only felt relieved when he saw that they had no wounds.

Xu Wan smiled at the two of them, then said to Qin Yu, "Nan Que'er told me she wants to see you."

"Why did she want to see me?"

Qin Yu was puzzled.

Xu Wan: "How would I know?"

Qin Yu thought for a moment, then rubbed his stomach and said, "Then I'll go see her! Perfect timing, I'd like to see what kind of person she really is!"

Xu Wan's lips curled into a smile. "She's a stunningly beautiful woman!"

"Oh?"

Qin Yu's eyes lit up. "If that's what you're saying, then I'm interested!"

Is this a test for cadres?

Am I the kind of person who can withstand such a test?

"Pervert!"

Xu Wan spat lightly and led Qin Yu toward Nan Que'er.

Qin Yu walked beside Xu Wan, turned his head and asked, "You've taken down the Holy Fire Sect's stronghold?"

"Um."

Xu Wan nodded slightly, "The Holy Fire Sect has deployed all its elite forces. There isn't a single decent expert left in their stronghold, so we just wiped them all out while we were at it!"

"Well done!"

Qin Yu gave a thumbs up and asked with a grin, "You were so busy rescuing people, didn't you even bother to loot any gold or silver? After all, that's their stronghold; there should be some gold and silver there, right?"

"Are you obsessed with money?"

Xu Wan looked at him speechlessly, "Even if there were gold and silver treasures, Fan Bing took them all for military expenses! What's the point of leaving them in the old nest? If you really want gold and silver treasures that much, you might as well send people to Lianghekou to plunder them!"

This bastard isn't short of money!

Why are you eyeing the gold and silver treasures of the Holy Fire Cult the moment you open your mouth?

"You've reminded me!"

Qin Yu grinned. "By the way, how many people did you rescue?"

"Five or six hundred, I guess!"

Xu Wan answered.

"So many?"

Qin Yu was surprised, "Is her family some kind of prestigious clan?"

A family with five or six hundred members is considered a large family even in Da Ning!

Moreover, this is a remote corner of southern Xinjiang.

"..."

Xu Wan's pretty face twitched slightly. "Not just one family, but the entire clan!"

One group has been reduced to only five or six hundred people!

He still thinks it's too much?

Thankfully, he didn't say this in front of Nan Que'er, otherwise Nan Que'er would probably be so angry that she would vomit blood.

"Explain yourself clearly!"

Qin Yu gave an awkward smile, "Five hundred and six people for a whole tribe is indeed a bit few..."

Xu Wan nodded slightly. "According to her, her people originally numbered several thousand, but most of them were killed in their resistance against the Holy Fire Cult, and the rest were captured by the Holy Fire Cult..."

Nan Que'er's clan was already small, and a large number of them were killed by the Holy Fire Sect.

Now, their tribe is on the verge of extinction.

The two chatted as they walked to Nan Que'er's room.

The moment Qin Yu saw Nan Que'er, his eyes lit up.

Xu Wan didn't lie to him.

Nan Que'er is truly a captivating beauty!

How come such a seductive woman spends all her time with poison?

Nan Que'er also looked Qin Yu up and down, seemingly finding it hard to believe that the commander-in-chief of the Da Ning rebellion was so young.

"What happened to your leg?"

Finally, Qin Yu's gaze fell on Nan Que'er's leg, which was secured with two wooden sticks.

"You were interrupted by the two people who were secretly protecting you."

Speaking of this, Xu Wan didn't know whether to admire Nan Que'er or laugh at her.

Those two are both experts at the ninth realm!

She still dares to use a groin kick on a ninth-realm expert?

If she were to kick you, it wouldn't just be painful, it would be incredibly embarrassing!

"Should I call you Commander Qin, Young Master Qin, or... Thirteenth Young Master?"

Nan Que'er took the initiative, smiling as she stared at Qin Yu and asked him questions.

Qin Yu sat down about ten feet away. "Anything is fine! I'm not that particular."

"Are you afraid I'll use a curse on you?"

Nan Que'er's lips curled into a playful smile.

Qin Yu smiled frankly, "You can say I'm afraid of you, or you can say a wise man doesn't stand under a crumbling wall."

If it were any other woman, he might have gotten closer and flirted with her.

But he had to be careful around this woman.

Otherwise, who knows where poisonous insects might sprout from on her body.

"You don't need to be afraid of what I might do to you."

Nan Que'er lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly, "My life and the lives of my people are in your hands. Even if you gave me the courage, I wouldn't dare to do anything to you!"

"That's hard to say."

Qin Yu chuckled to himself, "Getting back to the point, why did you want to see me? What do you want to talk to me about?"

Nan Que'er paused for a moment, then slowly said, "I want to make a deal with you!"

"explain."

Qin Yu immediately became interested.

Nan Que'er: "I know you want to attack the Nuoli tribe, but I can tell you clearly that attacking the Nuoli tribe is not as easy as you think."

Qin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. "And then?"

"I can help you."

Nan Que's smile faded, and she said seriously, "With my help, your casualties will be reduced by more than half!"

"Where do you get your confidence?"

Qin Yu, out of curiosity, looked at Nan Que'er again.

That's really tempting!

Nan Que'er gestured towards Xu Wan with her lips, "You can ask her if you don't believe me."

"That's true."

Xu Wan nodded slightly. "We encountered a Gu worm attack in the Holy Fire Sect's stronghold. Those Gu worms are not only highly poisonous, but they also appear and disappear unpredictably! Even experts can dodge them, but soldiers in the army cannot."

As she talked about this, Xu Wan couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.

With her abilities, as long as she is careful, she can avoid the Gu worms' attacks.

But those Gu worms appear and disappear unpredictably, they seem to spring up from nowhere.

Moreover, those venomous insects were densely packed, which was quite eerie.

"I see!"

Qin Yu suddenly realized, then stared at Nan Que'er with curiosity, "Your life and the lives of your people are in my hands, so what gives you the right to negotiate with me?"

"I knew you'd say that!"

Nan Que'er seemed to have a plan in mind, a strange smile suddenly appearing on her face. "I heard you can't walk on the human side?"
