I'm here in the martial arts world just to find love.

Without the protection of the powerful assassins who secretly guarded the family, the Qin family was no different from any other aristocratic family.

Qin Shaoling, the former sixteenth young master of the Qin family, who dared to risk his life and even bring down his own father, wielded a long spear and single-handedly broke down the gates of the Qin mansion, turning the entire Qin mansion, which was hated by everyone in Qingzhou City, upside down.

Amidst a torrent of curses, Qin Tianxiong, the head of the Qin family, had Qin Shaoling, whom he had always regarded as a useless piece of trash and a puppet of power, pinned his waxwood spear to the wall, where he died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

With Qin Tianxiong's death, the Qin family of Qingzhou, with him at its core, completely lost its backbone, crumbled, and collapsed.

Qin Shaoling, however, adhered to the principle of eliminating all traces of the enemy in the martial arts world. Although he did not go on a killing spree and continue killing people, he did not show any mercy either.

He then crippled the remaining brothers who had committed numerous evil deeds over the years and banished them from Qingzhou.

Besides the women, even the stewards and servants in the mansion who were loyal to Qin Tianxiong were not spared.

This incident greatly enhanced Qin Shaoling's reputation in Qingzhou.

In less than half a month, the name of Qin Shaoling, the marksmanship genius who put righteousness before family, spread throughout the entire martial arts world.

Some mischievous people in the martial arts world even gave him a nickname: "Gun Demon, the Mourning Star".

If you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear.

If you do something wrong, the gunman will come knocking on your door.

Of course, this is a story.

Having killed his own father, Qin Shaoling naturally couldn't stay in Qingzhou any longer.

Although most of the Qin family members in Qingzhou deserved to die, it was still the Qin family members who came to their door and personally "annihilated" them, so this matter was still heavily criticized.

Aside from the common people who were just watching the spectacle, those powerful families who acted like the Qin family and valued profit above all else secretly hated Qin Shaoling with a vengeance.

Fearing that their children would be oppressed too much, they followed the example of Qin Shaoling of the Qin family and committed righteousness by killing their own relatives.

That was truly an undeserved disaster.

In a short time, the long-established and deeply rooted aristocratic families in Qingzhou City, under the mobilization of their respective patriarchs, secretly began to investigate themselves, from the direct line to the collateral line, and then from the collateral line to distant relatives. In short, the scale of the investigation was unprecedented.

Therefore, after Qin Shaoling captured his last elder brother, who was preparing to flee Qingzhou City to avoid disaster, and broke one of his legs, Jiang Chao approached him.

"Shaoling, you've really made a name for yourself this time. Before you've even left home, your fame has already spread far and wide."

As he spoke, Jiang Chao couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Qin Shaoling twitched the corner of his mouth. This once somewhat immature young man had become much more composed after experiencing these events in the past few days.

Between his brows, there was a hint of ruggedness.

The arrogant air of a spoiled young master from a prominent family that he once possessed had completely vanished.

Jiang Chao could only mutter to himself, "Fate is fickle, and life is unpredictable."

Who could have imagined that in just a few days, a powerful family with a history spanning hundreds of years would be wiped out by a single family member armed with a gun?

It can only be said that the world is vast and full of wonders, and the martial arts world is full of hidden talents.

One generation of geniuses, one generation of gods; generation after generation of geniuses, new talents emerge.

"You should leave Qingzhou City first. You can wait for me in Yunzhou. I heard that a martial arts tournament is going to be held there soon. In addition to my family's Fengxue Temple, other martial arts forces will also send people to participate. It should be very lively."

"You can also take this opportunity to get to know those prodigies from prestigious sects, exchange skills, and perhaps it will greatly benefit your marksmanship."

Qin Shaoling nodded and said in a deep voice, "Okay."

"Tsk, you've become quite sparing with your words. I've said so many words, and all you replied with was 'okay'."

Jiang Chao smacked his lips, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Qin Shaoling then added three more words.

"I'll listen to you."

After saying this, Qin Shaoling turned and left, mounted his horse from a distance, and rode away.

Jiang Chao watched his retreating figure, smiled, and muttered to himself, "I'll come find you after I see my Yiyi one more time."

Before leaving Qingzhou, Jiang Chao planned to secretly see Yiyi one last time.

In addition, he also had to clean up the mess left by Qin Shaoling.

The Qin family's core leadership was shattered, but many innocent female relatives remained.

Besides Qin Tianxiong's wives and concubines, the question of how to settle the remaining daughters is also a considerable problem.

Of course, the difficulty is only relative.

Qin Shaoling's predicament and inability to solve the problem does not mean he is incapable.

Jiang Chao decided to mobilize financial resources.

The women of the Qin family, who would inevitably become playthings for other powerful and influential people to vent their desires if not properly cared for, were gathered together and properly settled.

This can also be seen as a way to conclude his first foray into the world of chivalry and justice.

Who would have thought that the final tasks would be easily accomplished?

Unexpectedly, something went wrong at the last moment.

……

"No, young lady, you must be mistaken. It was your sixteenth brother, Qin Shaoling, who killed your father, not me. Why are you looking for me?"

Jiang Chao looked at the girl in front of him, who appeared to be about fourteen or fifteen years old, with skin as smooth as jade, bright eyes, and white teeth, and explained with a bit of a headache:

"Furthermore, I, Jiang Chao, have always acted with integrity and a clear conscience. I took your women into my fold so that you would have a place to stay in the future, so that those who were bullied by your Qin family wouldn't come looking for revenge. Your behavior has chilled my heart!"

"We have no relatives or friends here, why are you helping us?"

The girl held her head high, her bright eyes filled with tears, and stubbornly said:

"In short, you must have ill intentions. My father is dead, my brothers are all crippled, and my Qin family has been removed from Qingzhou and will never recover. We women have no one to rely on and can only be bullied by others..."

As the girl spoke, she choked up and burst into tears.

"Wait, wait a minute, you little brat, have you lost your mind?"

Jiang Chao's patience is also limited.

Although the girl in front of him, both in appearance and in her pitiful and helpless state after the destruction of her family, evoked a sense of pity in him.

However, this feeling of pity only lasted for a brief moment before disappearing in an instant.

This little girl in front of me is really unreasonable and lacks common sense.

He had made himself perfectly clear that he stepped forward to help for the greater good and for the sake of justice.

Arranging for these women from the Qin family to work in the Yu family's textile workshop in Qingzhou was a way to ensure their continued survival.

The real perpetrators of evil were the men of the Qin family, not the women who had little say in the world and lived in seclusion.

But unexpectedly...

Oh well, never mind.

Jiang Chao just wanted to resolve things here as soon as possible, sneak a peek at Yi Yi, and then leave Qingzhou for Yunzhou, a bustling city teeming with martial arts enthusiasts, to attend the martial arts tournament.

"After I've settled things with them, I'll take you, this burden, to find your sixteenth brother, who's so righteous he'd even betray his own family. You two siblings will confront each other face to face."

Having said that, without waiting for the little girl's agreement, Jiang Chao waved to the workshop manager in the distance. The seemingly shrewd middle-aged manager quickly jogged over and said in a fawning tone:

"What are your orders, young master?"

Jiang Chao explained his idea, and the steward nodded repeatedly, saying, "Young Master, rest assured, leave it to me."

Seeing that the steward had arranged everything in an orderly manner, Jiang Chao nodded in satisfaction. Then, under the wide-eyed gaze of the little maid Qin Yueyao, he rose up from the ground.
