Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai

Upon hearing this, Qin Han's lips twitched into a cold smile. He had expected there to be other changes, but it turned out he really only had one daughter.

(Running away from home? Could it be that she went to find her missing father?)

"Send someone to investigate."

Qin Han gave the order in a calm voice.

"Find out the truth behind Sun Jiang's disappearance, and also, find this Sun Yaohong."

"Yes, sir!"

Cui Ximin bowed and accepted the order. Although he did not know that the Azure Dragon Society was involved, he would do his best to carry out the order given by his lord.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work."

"It is a subordinate's duty to share the burdens of his lord."

Cui Ximin bowed and withdrew, leaving Qin Han alone in the hall.

"The Azure Dragon Society, Prince Rui, the Flying Guillotine, the Divine Sniper Society...tsk, it seems that Emperor Kangxi is even less united than he thought."

He muttered something under his breath and walked toward the courtyard where Xiaolongnu and the others were settled.

……

In the living room of the villa.

Xiaolongnu, Shuisheng, and Nanlan sat together.

Nan Lan was in a state of turmoil. After talking with the two girls, she learned the true identity of this Senior Ye: the Golden Snake King of Shandong, a leader of a group that rose up in rebellion against the Qing Dynasty.

Thinking that her home was gone, her enemy was still alive, and her daughter was missing, she realized that she, a woman who knew no martial arts, was like a piece of duckweed on the water, unable to make a ripple in this world.

Wanting revenge and to find his daughter, his only hope seems to lie with the Golden Snake King before him.

When Qin Han appeared at the door, Nan Lan touched the phoenix-head hairpin in her hair, having already made up her mind.

As soon as Qin Han entered, Nan Lan took small steps to the middle of the hall and immediately knelt down.

"Your Highness..."

Her voice was slightly choked, and she held up the phoenix-head hairpin with both hands, her beautiful eyes filled with tears.

"This humble woman is willing to offer this treasure."

Qin Han looked at her quietly, as if he didn't understand what she meant.

"My family is now destroyed, my enemies are still alive, and my daughter is nowhere to be found. For a weak woman like me, finding my daughter is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

"Hearing that the Golden Snake Camp has risen up in rebellion against the Qing, Your Highness has the people of the world on your mind."

She pushed the hairpin in her hand forward a little further, looking at Qin Han with teary eyes.

"This hairpin is the key to a treasure left behind by the rebel leader Li Zicheng of the previous dynasty. Today, I, a humble woman, willingly offer it to Your Highness, hoping to help you accomplish your great cause!"

She spoke each word clearly, as if she had used all her strength.

"This humble woman asks for neither wealth nor power, but only begs Your Highness to have pity on this widow and help me find my daughter Miao Ruolan, and to kill that villain Shi Wanzhen!"

"From now on, Nanlan is willing to serve Your Highness like a slave, doing whatever you command, even if it means dying a thousand times!"

Qin Han looked at the woman kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down her face.

Despite the hardships she had endured, Nan Lan's appearance remained gentle and beautiful, captivatingly charming. He already knew the secret of the treasure, but had not revealed it, waiting for her to hand it over voluntarily.

Many people say that Nan Lan is a gold digger, a snob, who abandoned her husband and children for a man, but if you really think about it...

If you're a man, and your wife's beautiful and wealthy best friend comes to visit you every day, asking if you're tired, buying you all sorts of nice things, and is even prettier than your wife, tell me, which man could resist?

This isn't about who's right or wrong; it's simply human nature.

Qin Han no longer believes in love. This woman is sensible and has offered herself up. He doesn't mind giving her a hand. It's just a matter of a word. Now that he has a large family and business, he can treat her as a collectible.

Qin Han helped the young woman up.

Nan Lan's body trembled slightly, and her wrist twitched involuntarily, but she did not raise her hand to break free. She felt a pang of regret in her heart, wondering how she, a crippled person, could catch the eye of this peerless prince.

"If this hairpin is genuine, it will be a great service to my Golden Serpent Camp, and I agree to this request."

Seeing this, Little Dragon Girl, remembering that she had a mission, gently pinched her nose and stepped forward to take his arm.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little off.

Qin Han found it amusing, realizing Xiaolongnu's true intentions.

When she was in Lin'an, she didn't react much to all the wives in the house, but now that she's out, does she really intend to keep an eye on me?

"Long'er," Qin Han pretended not to understand, "what's wrong?"

Little Dragon Girl looked at him, as if to say, "You know it yourself," and gave a soft hum.

"It's nothing."

"My sisters told me to keep an eye on you when I go out."

Qin Han raised an eyebrow and asked her deliberately.

"Oh? What are you looking at me for?"

"Um."

Xiaolongnu pondered, but tightened her grip on his arm.

"They said that since my husband is out alone, someone needs to watch over him."

Nan Lan was embarrassed, and Shui Sheng was awkward; the two of them wished there was a crack in the ground right now.

Qin Han almost couldn't help but laugh; he just loved seeing the fairy sister so serious.

"Oh? Anything else?"

Little Dragon Girl looked up at him and said very seriously.

"They said if you come across someone who has nowhere to go, is pitiful, and is also decent-looking, you should immediately write back to let them know."

Qin Han touched his nose, unsure of what to say. The women in his household were becoming increasingly adept at this kind of thing.

Nan Lan quickly spoke up.

"Your Highness, I...I just want to find my daughter, I have no other unrealistic ideas."

Shui Sheng nodded hastily.

"Me too... I just want to repay Sister Long and Brother Ye for saving my life."

Seeing the two women's nervous expressions, Xiaolongnu wasn't really worried about the situation; she was just afraid that if she brought the newcomer back, her sisters would say she hadn't made a good choice.

Nan Lan and Shui Sheng in front of me are indeed pitiful, especially Shui Sheng. She is so young, her family is gone, and her fiancé and elders have all turned into bad people in the blink of an eye.

After a while, Xiaolongnu's tone softened.

"Don't be nervous."

Qin Han watched from the side, thinking to himself, "How can people not be nervous when you act like this?"

"Long'er was just joking with you, don't take it to heart."

Little Dragon Girl wanted to correct him seriously, saying that she hadn't been joking.

Just then, Cui Ximin walked in and bowed to report.

"My lord, the guest room is ready."

Qin Han nodded and looked at the women.

"It's getting late, let's get some rest tonight."

These words prompted the somewhat bewildered Nanlan and Shuisheng to leave.

……

Late at night, the backyard specially arranged by Sihai Trading Company was very quiet.

Qin Han and Xiaolongnü shared a room. After dealing with several secret letters sent by Cui Ximin, Qin Han turned around and saw Xiaolongnü sitting in front of the dressing table, staring blankly at the bronze mirror.

Qin Han hugged her slender waist from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and looked at her beautiful face in the mirror.

"What is Long'er thinking about?"
