Chapter 962 Visiting to Apologize
"Scram."
Qin Hao's tone was calm, exuding the authority of a superior.
The patrol guards left the area as quickly as they could, not daring to look back, fearing Qin Hao might regret letting them go.
Qin Hao turned to Xian Yin and Ling'er and said, "Let's go back."
Xian Yin and Ling'er nodded, and the three of them headed back to the restaurant. On the way, Ling'er asked, "Master, have you fully comprehended that Sword Intent Talisman?"
Qin Hao: "Yes, the Sword Intent is indeed powerful, its attack methods are truly unpredictable, and its power is great, superior to many Divine Skills. Moreover, the Sword Intent can be fused with the Divine Power Sword Skill, making the divine techniques even stronger."
Xue Lingling giggled and said, "Master is indeed the best. That move just now was so impressive, it enchanted both me and Sister Xian Yin."
A slight blush appeared on Xian Yin's perfect face as she gave Ling'er a playful glance, full of allure and charm.
Qin Hao asked, "Why did you both come out without a word? You didn't even tell me."
Xue Lingling stuck out her tongue: "Master, it's almost the New Year Festival, so Sister Xian Yin and I bought some gifts for you."
Qin Hao laughed and said, "You don't need to buy those gifts; Master doesn't value those."
"Regardless of whether Master values them or not, it's a token of affection from Sister Xian Yin and me," Ling'er said earnestly, looking up.
The three of them chatted while walking and soon returned to the restaurant.
"Master, we'll give you the gifts tomorrow. Sister Xian Yin and I will head back to our rooms first," Xue Lingling said to him.
Qin Hao smiled and nodded, "Go ahead."
...
The Huo Family in Jiuwu City.
The news of Huo Taifan being slain quickly reached the Huo Family.
The Huo Family Head, Huo Honglin, was furious when he heard the news: "Who dares to kill a disciple of the Huo Family in Jiuwu City? Investigate this for me; I want him torn to pieces."
The entire Huo Family was alarmed, and many people were sent out to investigate the matter of Huo Taifan.
Within less than half an hour, the Huo Family had figured out the whole story. They are one of the top families in Jiuwu City, so investigating this matter wasn't difficult, especially since a lot of people were watching back then.
Moreover, they had thoroughly investigated the whereabouts of Qin Hao and his group.
Just as Huo Honglin was preparing to lead people to find Qin Hao and his companions, the City Lord of Jiuwu City, Wu Bin, arrived.
Upon receiving the news, Huo Honglin hurried out of the living room to greet him: "Mr. Wu, what brings you here?"
Wu Bin looked at him and said, "Let's talk inside."
The two of them entered the living room, where several elders of the Huo Family were seated. The incident of Huo Taifan's murder was a matter of honor for the Huo Family, and these elders were planning to go with the Family Head to kill Qin Hao to uphold the family's prestige.
"Mr. Wu, why have you come to our Huo Family?" Huo Honglin and the elders asked him in confusion.
Wu Bin said, "I know about Huo Taifan's case. In this matter, Huo Taifan was in the wrong first, and the Family Head should not pursue it anymore."
Huo Honglin and the Huo Family elders were stunned by his words.
Not pursue it? What does Wu Bin mean by this? Could that person be related to him?
If that's the case, the Huo Family really wouldn't dare to act. Although the Huo Family is strong in Jiuwu City, they aren't stronger than the Wu Family of the City Lord's Mansion.
Even so, Huo Honglin still asked, puzzled, "Mr. Wu, is that person a relative of your Wu Family?"
Wu Bin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It would be better if he was a relative. Both our families cannot afford to provoke this person. Not only should we not pursue the matter, but we must also personally visit and apologize."
The people of the Huo Family's expressions changed slightly at these words. Not only should they not pursue it, but they also have to apologize?
Could it be the son of the Commandery Prince of Yuxing County?
Thinking of this, the Huo Family members had unpleasant expressions. If it really was someone from the Commandery Prince's Mansion, they would have no choice but to swallow their anger and apologize obediently.
"Mr. Wu, is this person from the Commandery Prince's Mansion?"
Wu Bin shook his head: "No, he isn't from the Commandery Prince's Mansion, but he's even more formidable than those from there. He is Qin Hao."
The members of the Huo Family were stunned, and Huo Honglin asked in puzzlement, "Qin Hao? Which Qin Hao?"
...
Wu Bin said speechlessly, "How many people named Qin Hao are there in the entire Yuxing County?"
Huo Honglin suddenly remembered something and widened his eyes: "Is it that Qin Hao who executed three elders of the Bi Yu Sect?"
Wu Bin: "That's right, it's him. He just arrived in Jiuwu City today, and such an incident already occurred. You know his temperament; he might annihilate your Huo Family tonight."
The members of the Huo Family were no longer calm, a trace of panic flashing in their eyes.
They had long heard of Qin Hao's notorious reputation; he was definitely a ruthless person, even making the Bi Yu Sect silent.
He had even executed a regional lord and destroyed a sect, which was terrifying.
Huo Honglin hastily turned to Wu Bin and said, "Mr. Wu, what do we do now?"
Wu Bin: "What else can we do? Pay a visit and apologize. The City Lord's patrol guard also displeased him. I came to you to go together; compared to face, life and death weigh more heavily."
Huo Honglin nodded, indeed compared with the life and death of the family, this bit of face was really trivial.
He said, "Mr. Wu, there's no time to lose, let's go now."
Wu Bin got up and walked outside, and Huo Honglin followed behind him, while the other members of the Huo Family were looking at each other, their previous killing intent gone.
Are you kidding, that's Qin Hao we're talking about, renowned throughout all of Yuxing County. Who would dare to provoke him?
...
Tianfeng Restaurant.
Wu Bin and Huo Honglin came here without any guards. As they walked into the restaurant, the shop assistant recognized them and was so terrified that he almost collapsed: "Mr... Mr. Wu, Mr... Mr. Huo, welcome!"
"Take us to Mr. Qin's private courtyard," Wu Bin said.
The shop assistant cautiously asked, "Mr. Wu, which Mr. Qin are you referring to?"
"Qin Hao, Mr. Qin, who just checked into your restaurant this afternoon," Wu Bin said.
The shop assistant quickly checked and said, "City Lord, Family Head, please follow me."
He led the two to the outside of Qin Hao's courtyard, feeling somewhat shocked. Who was this person that Mr. Wu and the Family Head of the Huo Family would visit in person? Such grandeur!
"Mr. Wu, Mr. Huo, Mr. Qin lives in this courtyard, please enter," the shop assistant said very respectfully.
Wu Bin said, "Go notify Mr. Qin, and once he agrees, we will go in."
Upon hearing this, the shop assistant was shocked. Whoa, they needed Mr. Qin's permission to enter?
Who exactly was this Mr. Qin?
He carefully walked to the pavilion's door and knocked on it.
"Come in."
He pushed the door open and went in, where a young gentleman in a blue robe was sitting, sipping tea.
