Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai

Qin Han staggered to the table, seemingly ignoring Ruan Xingzhu, picked up the teapot, and took a large gulp of cold tea from the spout.

"belch……"

A loud burp escaped Qin Han's lips, and he shook his head, seemingly sobering up a bit.

He groggily raised his head and saw Ruan Xingzhu standing not far away.

"Hey? Keqing? Why...did you change your clothes?"

Qin Han, his eyes still blurry with drunkenness, mistook Ruan Xingzhu for Qin Keqing.

Ruan Xingzhu wore a light purple dress tonight, which made her look even more charming under the moonlight.

That mature and charming temperament does indeed bear some resemblance to the gentle and graceful Qin Keqing.

"Your Highness, you...you've mistaken me for someone else. I am Ruan Xingzhu."

Ruan Xingzhu's expression was serious, sacred and inviolable.

"Ruan Xingzhu?" Qin Han squinted, only then realizing that he had mistaken the person for someone else.

He quickly used his inner energy to expel the smell of alcohol, which eased the awkward situation.

The next morning.

Sunlight streamed through the window and shone onto the bed, making Qin Han's head feel like it was about to explode.

Just then, the door was pushed open.

Azhu came in carrying a bowl of hangover soup.

"Sir, you're awake?"

A'Zhu is now also calling him "Master" like Qin Keqing does, and she feels that it's not bad.

"You drank so much last night, you must have a headache now, right? I've made you some hangover soup, drink it while it's hot."

Looking at Azhu's smiling face that day, Qin Hanqiang smiled and took the bowl.

"Okay...okay, my Ah Zhu is the most considerate."

……

the other side.

Azhu indeed found Ruan Xingzhu, who was feeling sad, in the garden.

"Mother! Why are you standing here alone, lost in thought?"

Azhu affectionately took her mother's arm.

Ruan Xingzhu sighed. She had just thought of Azi, who was also her daughter. Now that things had stabilized and Azhu had returned, she wondered if Azi was still alive.

He forced a slightly strained smile.

"Nothing much, I just felt a bit bored, so I came out for a walk."

"Mother, are you thinking about your younger sister, Azi, again?" Azhu asked with concern.

"Alas, it is I who have wronged you sisters. I am naturally happy to see you safe and sound, but I am worried because Azi is younger than you."

Ruan Xingzhu didn't know what kind of little witch Azi was, and thought she was as kind as Azhu.

"Mother, don't worry. I'll go and beg Qin Lang. If he agrees to go find my sister, I believe we'll be reunited soon," A'Zhu could only offer some words of comfort.

But I can't quite put my finger on what's strange about it.

Azhu thought for a moment, "How about I accompany you back to Jiangnan in a few days?"

Should we go back?

Ruan Xingzhu thought about it and decided that it might be good to go back and have the Ruan family look for it.

……

Early the next morning.

Qin Han was handling official business in his study when Ju Jian came in to report that Ruan Xingzhu was requesting an audience.

After all, it should come.

He sighed and said, "Let her in."

Soon, Ruan Xingzhu walked in.

She changed into a smart and capable outfit, and applied a light layer of powder to her face to cover the weariness under her eyes. Her expression looked no different from usual.

The two exchanged a glance, then quickly looked away.

"Madam Ruan...what brings you here?" Qin Han spoke first, breaking the silence.

"Your Highness." Ruan Xingzhu felt a little awkward when she heard the word "Madam," assuming it was a slip of the tongue by Qin Han.

"I wish to return to Jiangnan and take over the affairs of the Ruan family."

Qin Han's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood what she meant.

I reckon it's because of Ah Zi.

"No! Your father and the others are already in charge in Jiangnan, but we still need you in Sichuan. Besides returning to Jiangnan, you can tell us whatever manpower you need or whatever your requests are in Sichuan."

Ruan Xingzhu thought about it for a while and realized that Sichuan did indeed need her.

Helpless, he could only reply, "Could you please trouble Yang Zuo to have them mobilize the disciples of the Ming Cult to help?"

"Don't worry." Qin Han thought this made sense. "I will have the Ming Cult people look for your youngest daughter. You just need to focus on your own business."

Having received Qin Han's promise, Ruan Xingzhu felt as if the last heavy weight had been lifted from her heart.

Without saying anything more, he bowed and turned to leave.

Since Qin and Han have made a promise, then let's continue to develop in Sichuan.

In order to temporarily divert his attention and improve his strength as soon as possible, Qin Han decided to go into seclusion for a period of time and then go to Yangzhou to bring back his mother and Aunt Nian.
