Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai

As soon as Li Mochou said these words, the room fell silent.

Qin Han's mind went blank for a moment.

He remembered that Xiaolongnu didn't have much of a background. At most, the original work vaguely mentioned that she was an abandoned orphan who was later picked up and adopted by the Ancient Tomb Sect.

But things in this world were clearly different from what he remembered; even Zhen Zhibing of the Quanzhen Sect had his lower body chopped off by Li Mochou.

Lin Ruhai opened his cloudy eyes wide, his chest heaving rapidly, and he made indistinct sounds in his throat.

"Alan...Alan...your daughter isn't dead! She's still..."

It was as if he had a thousand words he wanted to say to the woman named Alan.

He struggled to raise his arm and pointed in the direction of Little Dragon Girl.

"Daiyu...she's your half-sister...Back then, when Father was in Shandong..."

Lin Daiyu knelt beside her, her eyes swollen and red, unable to react for a moment.

If she hadn't been afraid of fainting and being separated from her father forever, she would have already collapsed from shock given her frail body.

elder sister?

In her memory, her father was only with her mother. The family never mentioned the name Alan, nor did they know that she had an older sister.

"Father, when did I get a sister?"

Lin Ruhai opened his mouth slightly, his throat churning a few times, but he couldn't make a sound.

The arm that was hanging in mid-air suddenly lost its strength and fell straight down the edge of the bed.

Qin Han placed his palm on the old man's back and quickly sent his internal energy to him.

Following the meridians, I only felt dry internal organs, with no sign of blood flow.

The old man's heart had stopped beating.

Qin Han tried several times, and finally withdrew his hand.

"Miss Lin, Lord Lin has already left."

Lin Daiyu stood there for a while, making sure the old man on the bed had closed his eyes, before she leaned over the edge of the bed and cried.

"father!!"

The woman's sobs echoed through the room.

Little Dragon Girl looked at the old man who had just breathed his last, and she didn't recognize his face at all.

However, the birthmark the other party mentioned also resembled eyebrows and eyes. There was indeed a butterfly-shaped mark on the back of her left shoulder, something that only her senior sister and Granny Sun knew about.

For the first time, she felt a tightness in her chest, and for a moment she couldn't tell if it was discomfort or something else.

If this person is really my biological father, then who am I?

Little Dragon Girl grew up in the Ancient Tomb and always believed that she was just an abandoned child brought back by Granny Sun. Her master never mentioned her background.

She suddenly felt an emptiness in her heart.

Li Mochou's expression also seemed off.

She and her junior sister stayed in the ancient tomb for more than ten years, always believing that the other was an orphan without parents, no different from herself.

Now suddenly he has an official father, who is the Salt Commissioner from Jiangnan.

Wouldn't this junior sister become the eldest daughter of the Lin family in the future?

No, no, Lin Ruhai has offended too many powerful people, and now she has to rely on her lover to protect her daughter.

There would be no more Miss Lin.

Shi Qingxuan had only saved a girl who had fainted near Mount Hua, but she never expected it would lead to so much trouble.

Qin Han reached out and rubbed his forehead.

Alan.

He secretly memorized the name and later asked the Golden Snake Camp to try to investigate Lin Ruhai's life.

The mother who gave birth to a daughter like Xiaolongnu must have been quite extraordinary.

Lin Ruhai was an honest official his whole life and had a good reputation in the Jiangnan region. Before he died, he cried out the name of a woman.

What exactly happened in Shandong twenty years ago?

There must be something else going on here.

He thought about it carefully.

If we investigate this seriously, there must be some connection between the previous generation of the Ancient Tomb Sect, the Shandong region, and the current Lin family.

Unfortunately, the only person who knew the truth is now dead.

Lin Daiyu fell forward crying, her forehead about to hit the wooden edge of the bed.

Qin Han reached out to support her, placing his palm on her back and channeling some of his inner energy to help her catch her breath.

The jumble of emotions in her chest quickly subsided.

Qin Han sighed, "Miss Lin, please accept my condolences."

Lin Daiyu's face was covered in tears.

She opened her mouth slightly, let out a few sobs, then turned her head to one side and slid directly to the ground.

Little Dragon Girl took a step ahead, and in a flash, she grabbed Lin Daiyu's arm and pulled the girl slightly closer to her.

She felt that the weight in her hands was very light, even lighter than herself.

Little Dragon Girl looked down at the girl's face and found that the girl's eyebrows and eyes did indeed resemble her own.

Li Mochou watched them from the side and stepped forward to help them up.

"Take her to the room next door first; she's cried so hard she's fainted."

Shi Qingxuan stepped forward and offered a helping hand.

Qin Han turned and went to the eaves outside.

The rain in the yard hadn't stopped, and it seemed to be getting heavier.

The three martial arts practitioners were resting against a pillar. Lu Tianshu had just tied a strip of cloth around his neck, and blood was still seeping out.

He saw Qin Han come out, and he leaned on a pillar with one hand, preparing to stand up and bow.

Qin Han gestured that there was no need to get up, as he had just learned the identities of these people from the memories of the Azure Serpent God.

"Please don't stand on ceremony, everyone."

"The three of you must be the Four Heroes of the North, Luohua Liushui. To be willing to risk your lives for a complete stranger like this, your chivalry is worthy of my respect."

Liu Chengfeng sat on the ground, dragging his injured leg, and laughed heartily.

"Lord Lin is a good official. Since he came to Hangzhou three years ago, the people have praised him highly."

We roughnecks may not understand the intricacies of the imperial court, but we can still distinguish between good and bad, and naturally we won't let such good people die at the hands of those people.

Shui Dai placed the half-broken knife on her lap, her tone heavy with sorrow.

"Lord Lin...has he already left?"

Qin Han nodded slightly.

The old men fell silent instantly, and only the sound of raindrops hitting the ground could be heard in the courtyard.

Jiang Wuyang ran quickly in the direction of the gate, his armor was soaked, and he knelt down on one knee.

"Your Highness, half of those people in black outside have run away, but we have stopped the rest. I have just interrogated them."

These people were assassins trained by the Yuwen family; the Twelve Zodiacs, seeing an opportunity for profit, proactively came looking for trouble.

Qin Han sneered after hearing this.

"Ha, coming here looking for trouble? How many of the twelve zodiac animals are here?"

"One knows how to use poison, one has incredible strength, and the other is a very short person in a wheelchair."

Wei Wuyuan, Huang Niu, and Bi She Shenjun.

Qin Han read out the three names based on their characteristics, guessing that it was the short man and the ox who had tripped up Lin Pingzhi.

Just as they were about to arrange for people to clean up the battlefield, a series of sounds of hidden weapons suddenly came from outside the gate.

Dozens of items flew through the rain towards the yard.

Jiang Wuyang drew his long sword from his waist and held it horizontally in front of Qin Han.

"Your Highness, be careful!"

P.S. Only one update today. I've been feeling unwell lately due to the heat, so please take precautions against heatstroke. I'll make up for it with three updates tomorrow.
