Boarding Life

Chapter 712 712:

In front of them, there was an unmistakably embarrassing scene involving the Ming Family and the Tang Family.

Qin Qi controlled the Golden Hand and dropped Ming Yang and Tang Chongshan to the ground as if he were handling chicks.

Looking at Ming Yang and Tang Chongshan, their faces were full of exhaustion and embarrassment. After being thrown to the ground by Qin Qi, they were not angry at all.

Instead, they respectfully stood up, looked at Qin Qi, and politely said, "If there's nothing else, we'll take our leave."

After speaking, the four members of the Tang Family and the Ming Family turned and left without saying another word.

This scene undoubtedly shattered the worldview of the Wan Qing and Wan Lei brothers.

Wasn't it supposed to be?

They originally thought that since they arrived so late, Qin Qi would have been dealt with by several families. However, the truth told them that not only was Qin Qi fine, but the people of several families left in disgrace?

As Ming Yang and Tang Chongshan passed by Wan Qing, they exchanged a glance with the two brothers.

Their eyes revealed nothing but an expression of envy.

From their perspective, the Wan Family truly had foresight, for they had befriended Qin Qi early on.

Wan Qing was still unwilling to believe his own judgment and quickly stepped forward, "Qin Qi, are you okay?"

Qin Qi smiled, "Do I look like I'm in trouble?"

Wan Qing swallowed, "So, what's the situation here?"

Qin Qi spoke calmly, "Well... it's pretty much like what you saw!"

"Are you saying that you single-handedly fought against the Ming Family and Tang Family and then took care of both families?" Wan Lei asked in amazement on the side.

Qin Qi slowly replied, "That's not it!"

Wan Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That makes sense.

There must be some other reason.

The two of them looked at Qin Qi, wanting to hear his explanation.

Qin Qi scratched his ear, "Actually, there was also the Chu Family!"

Initially, the Wan Qing brothers thought there was another reason, but upon hearing Qin Qi's explanation, they were even more dumbfounded.

They exchanged glances, "The Chu Family? Where are the Chu Family members?"

Qin Qi crossed his arms and responded casually, "They're dead. I just killed them. If I hadn't killed the Chu Family members, did you think the Ming Family and Tang Family would have refrained from giving up so easily?"

Hearing this, Wan Qing and Wan Lei were shocked to their cores.

They couldn't believe their ears.

They even wanted to doubt right there that it was false.

But they knew, Qin Qi had no reason to lie about this, especially because such a lie would be too easy to verify.

Moreover, as Qin Qi said, if they didn't genuinely believe that Qin Qi was not an opponent, how could the Ming Family and the Tang Family give up so easily?

"Qin Qi, you..."

Wan Qing and Wan Lei were now so stunned that they could hardly speak.

Qin Qi smiled faintly, "Enough about me; what about you? What happened with you? Arriving so late, you must have encountered something special, right?"

Wan Qing nodded heavily, "Exactly, it was two people from the Zhang Family. They specifically blocked our way on the road, so that's why we were so late!"

"Moreover, they were just delaying time and didn't really want to fight us to the death."

Qin Qi chuckled.

He thought to himself, how could the Zhang Family be so kind as not to join the other families in besieging him?

It turned out that was their plan.

Qin Qi coldly stated, "First, they delay your time, allowing the other families to deal with me. Then they use this time for the families to kill each other, and then you step in to fight to the bitter end."

"Finally, the Zhang Family shows up to take advantage of the conflict. The Zhang Family's plan, it's really quite sound!"

Wan Qing listened to Qin Qi's analysis, first stunned, then suddenly understanding.

"I was wondering why they were just delaying us; they never intended to compete with us from the start. Turns out they were playing this trick!" Wan Qing clenched his fist.

In his heart, he couldn't help but admire Qin Qi's insight.

Qin Qi smiled slightly as well.

All his life, he had been studying the art of understanding people's minds.

Even the complex thoughts of women he could see through, let alone such small schemes by the Zhang Family members.

"Qin Qi, what are you planning to do next?" Wan Qing's tone now faintly showed an attitude of following Qin Qi's lead.

Qin Qi scratched his ear and responded in a casual tone, "Hehe, the Zhang Family and I have a grudge. Regardless of what they think, I don't intend to let them off. Instead of waiting for them to come for mine, I'd rather go take theirs first!"

"Besides, the Ming Family, Tang Family, and Chu Family have all withdrawn from the mineral contest. I'll claim two of their large mines for our President Mu!"

"The rest, you Wan Family can have one!"

Wan Qing and Wan Lei couldn't believe their ears. Their eyes widened, "Qin Qi, how can we accept this!"

Although they said they couldn't accept it, inside they were ecstatic.

But the gift was indeed enormous.

An entire mine, no less.

In the former layout of the Five Great Clans, each had one large mine, and no one could gain extra resources due to the balance of power.

If any power could newly claim a mine, then in the coming years, their development speed would far surpass others.

Qin Qi waved his hand, "No need to be polite. You Wan Family helped me, so naturally, I should also help your Wan Family!"

"Then, we'll graciously accept." Wan Qing finally couldn't bring himself to make pleasantries, "Qin Qi, rest assured, when we return, I will honestly report everything to my father. In the future, you will be not just a good friend but a brother of the Wan Family!"

As for the help?

He knew very well that they hadn't really contributed anything!

And Qin Qi had his own plans too.

After all, with the Chu Family and even the Zhang Family, he had offended four families in one go!

Even though he hadn't mortally offended the Ming Family and Tang Family, it's tough to guarantee their stance.

If he didn't ally with the Wan Family and bind them to himself, he would be too passive facing so many formidable enemies at once.

And Qin Qi, wasting no more time, with eyes cold, said, "Alright, you two take care from here; I need to head to the second mine!"

Wan Lei and Wan Qing naturally knew what Qin Qi intended to do.

It was clear he was going to cause trouble for the Zhang Family.

They all inhaled sharply, growing more and more impressed by Qin Qi.

After all, in the entire Martial Arts District, there weren't many who would openly target the Zhang Family.

Thinking of this, Wan Qing immediately expressed his stance, "Qin Qi, we'll go with you. We've been displeased with the Zhang Family for a long time, so count us in on causing trouble for them!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Qi did not refuse their goodwill.

He turned his head and glanced at Ling Feixue, "Feixue, you stay here!"

Ling Feixue naturally understood that with her strength, she couldn't partake in the contest over mines, so she obediently agreed.

The three set out immediately, aiming straight for the second mine.

The first mine wasn't far from the second, but a few smaller mines lay in between.

It was during their passage through one such mine that Qin Qi raised an eyebrow, detecting some commotion.

"Heh, looks like it's not just the Five Great Clans; other forces are also fiercely competing!" Wan Lei joked.

Qin Qi squinted his eyes because he saw a familiar face at this mine, and this familiar person was none other than Gu Xiaoyou.

However, Gu Xiaoyou's current situation couldn't be considered good!
