The Lord System
Chapter 21: The Arrival of Zhu Qinlan

There were two people in the yard of the house who were playing chess, one of these people felt that there were some people who came near this house.

" Sister Kang do you feel it ? " Cao Ren said as he stopped the steps of his chess piece.

" Right I feel it, it doesn't seem like it's young master and sister Que "

After a while, the silhouette of someone was seen in the distance, there were 5 people who were riding horses quickly coming towards this house.

Ngikkk!

One brown horse stopped not far from home and followed the other 4 horses behind.

Then a man with long white hair came down from the horse and walked up to Cao Ren and Xiao Kang.

" Greetings seniors! " Said Zhu Qinlan greeting those two people.

" Greetings to you too, sir! Can you tell us what you mean by coming here ?" Reply to the two by giving greetings with a sharp look.

Then Zhu Qinlan said to the two of them that he and his four disciples had only temporarily stopped here to let go of fatigue, and there was no other purpose to his arrival.

Only for that reason would it be impossible for Cao Ren to believe their words.

" If you want to rest, why not just go to the city ? Not that the distance from this valley to the city is not so far as riding a horse ...."

" ... And again, those people I warned you not to come back again, are you coming with your teacher now! You think my threat is just bullshit! " Secret Cao Que who was disturbed by the arrival of the five of them.

As they were talking to each other, from inside the house Xiao Lien appeared. " Uncle Kang and Uncle Que did we have a guest ? " She said as she walked slowly out of the house.

" Young lady shouldn't you rest first" Xiao Kang said as he helped her walk.

" Aisss Uncle Kang, why uncle always told me to rest "reply with annoyance.

Zhu Qinlan who saw the arrival of Xiao Lien looked at him, he was reminded of a little girl he had met in the past, because of curiosity he asked her

" Aren't you the young miss of the xiao clan ? And the daughter of Xiao Zan "he said, recalling the past.

Xiao Lien and Xiao Kang were shocked when they heard the name 'Xiao Zan' coming out from people they didn't know, Xiao Kang started to be wary of these five people, there was a possibility if they were his minions the Tang Clan.

" Why do you know that name !? " Said Xiao Kang by looking at Zhu Qinlan.

" You know my dad!? " Sorry Xiao Lien.

Looking at the young Miss and Xiao kang who were shocked when they heard that name, Cao Ren swiftly issued his killing intent to the five of them.

" I'm guessing your arrival is suspicious! Just go! Or I don't hesitate to be rude to you "threaten Cao Ren by applying his cultivation pressure.

Whuss!

Zhu Qinlan and his four disciples felt horror on his body, shortness of breath and cold sweat appearing due to this pressure.

'this pressure!... This guy is strong!'

Zhu Qinlan tried to bring out his aura of power to provide protection to his disciple.

Uhukk! Zhu Qinlan took out a mouthful of blood from his mouth and made his four disciples panic.

" G-teachers...! "

While Zhu Qinlan tried to say to Cao Ren despite the pain.

" S-brother .. don't misunderstand me first. "said Zhu Qinlan who felt depressed by the aura of power that Cao Ren unleashed.

Xiao Lien who was unaware of his situation felt confused by what was happening, but when he heard the voice of the person who was in pain there must be something going on.

" Uncle Ren can't be prejudiced against other people" Xiao Lien said as she carried Cao Ren's back with the staff she was holding.

" Ouch! Young lady stop, do you want to make me hurt ? " Cao Ren said as he continued to dodge to the right and left of Xiao Lien's wand.

Unknowingly the pressure created by Cao Ren disappeared and made the five people able to breathe a sigh of relief again.

If he recalled, the time in the treasure valley pavilion he also felt a strong pressure from the masked woman and now he felt a strong pressure from this person.

The five people were quite stunned when they saw a blind girl banging her cane as if to repel insects.

'what he is still remains the same person as the one who put pressure on us all' said the disciples who saw the situation.

Cao Ren felt he was being noticed by those people trying to change his attitude back to the firm one.

" Ekhem! You better explain it to us. "

" B-good senior.. but can you please let us in ? "

Bukk!

Bukk!

" Ohh young lady .. why did you hit me again ? "

" Cihh! , Please enter gentlemen so that we can have a conversation inside" Xiao Lien said, letting the five enter.

In the hearts of the five of them who saw Xiao Lien like a Goddess of their savior.

After being inside, Xiao Kang entered the kitchen to prepare tea for guests, while Cao Ren stood behind Xiao Lien's seat.

Then Zhu Qinlan gave a reason why he could get to know Xiao Zan.

......................

In the past Xiao Zan was one of the sect elders in the holy sword sect, and was also a brother-like companion with Zhu Qinlan.

However he quit the sect for reasons to marry and focus on his clan, after one year of marriage Xiao Zan was appointed the leader of the Clan in place of his father Xiao Tian.

After that, Xiao Zan always told Zhu Qinlan about having a beautiful daughter named Xiao Lien and spending time with her family.

" However some time ago, this old man was informed that the Xiao Clan was attacked and caused the destruction of the Xiao Clan, as well as news of the death of his brother Xiao Zan ... "

However Zhu Qinlan did not fully trust the information, taking his students, Zhu Qinlan went to visit Lin'an City.

Arriving there and telling his four disciples to search for any information about the Xiao Clan.

After getting some important points including that the daughter of Xiao Zan was taken away by a personal servant to the Youming valley, no one knew the two men were alive or dead.

Immediately Zhu Qinlan and his four disciples entered the area of Youming valley from the outskirts of the valley to the interior of the valley did not escape his search.

It was until Zhu Qinlan felt a strong pressure from a cultivator in the interior of the valley.

" And that's why we found a hut in the interior of this valley, this old man didn't think that Xiao Zan's daughter was alive, this old man swore to heaven if I found my brother's daughter alive then I would raise her to be my daughter, and if she died then I would avenge them. "

Zhu Qinlan told me at length about his journey in search of information about his brother and his family.

Hearing Carita from Zhu Qinlan making Xiao Lien cry he began to think back on the incident.

While Cao Ren who just found out about the plight of his young miss life unconsciously his eyes water.

Hicks!

" Hey brother kang... I told you not to peel the onion skin inside the house, it made my eyes ache "

Creak~ " ohh forgive me" Xiao Kang said as he halted his activities in the kitchen.

" Then Xiao Lien what are your plans for the future ? Do you want to join this old man going to the holy sword sect ? " Ask Zhu Qinlan to Xiao Lien.

Xiao Lien thought at Zhu Qinlan's offer..

" I accept Uncle Zhu's good intentions, but you don't worry now, now I am living happily with my lover and my new family" Xiao Lien refused Zhu Qinlan's invitation.

This time for Xiao Lien to be together with Tang san was her happiness, and she did not want to part with him.

" Huh, that's quite dear, but this old man will support your decision, and this... " Zhu Qinlan took out a gold-colored jade badge and gave it to Xiao Lien.

The jade badge inscribed with the name 'Sacred Sword Sect' would be very useful for Xiao Lien in the future if she wanted to join the Holy Sword Sect without selection.

" Thank you for the gift from you, I will always remember your kindness in my heart "reply Xiao Lien with a clenched hand.

" You can call me foster father if you want to "Say Zhu Qinlan with great hope.

" That .. "

" Hey hey, old man! don't push my young lady's will too much, do you want that beard of yours I'll pull it tight! " Cao Ren's annoyed shout to Zhu Qinlan.

" Hoho, don't be too cruel so senior, imagining this old man's beard on the pull alone has made me shiver "reply back while stroking his beard.
