Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 1053 - 527: Blood Race Unrest

Though Chen Xuan and Qin Ying had maintained an honest relationship, they hadn't yet taken that final, intimate step.

Unexpectedly, she then experienced an awakening of her ancestral bloodline.

It wasn't an easy path that brought the two of them together.

"With your innate talent, and the Chief Eunuch in your corner, there truly shouldn't be any issues," Qin Hong said, attempting to comfort him as he noticed the apprehension in Chen Xuan's heart.

"Furthermore, Mother Imperial Concubine is quite pleased with you!"

His words brought a slight surprise to Chen Xuan, who asked, "Lin Fei knows about me?"

"Of course," Qin Hong replied.

"Mother Imperial Concubine truly favors Imperial Sister, so she naturally pays attention to those important to her beloved."

"This meeting was specifically arranged by Mother Imperial Concubine, so you needn't be nervous later on."

"I wasn't nervous before, but now that you've mentioned it, I feel a bit anxious."

This sensation was quite comparable to a son-in-law meeting his future mother-in-law for the first time.

"Hahaha...."

Seeing Chen Xuan genuinely a little tense, Qin Hong couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Afterward, the two began to converse in a more relaxed manner.

The atmosphere within the grand hall improved considerably.

"By the way, there’s one matter I need to discuss with you."

After laying so much groundwork, it was finally time to get to the heart of the discussion.

Chen Xuan looked at Qin Hong with curiosity, wondering what important affair was concealed behind all this preamble.

"Duke Qin knows our relationship is quite amicable, so he asked me to relay a message. He wishes for you to visit the Stone Race and the Tree-man Race."

"It’s not my own intention; I am merely acting as a messenger."

"Your decision has absolutely no bearing on me!"

Qin Hong, fearing a misunderstanding, quickly clarified his position.

To be perfectly honest, he did not relish being the messenger, but since Duke Qin had personally requested it, he felt unable to refuse.

"Alright!"

Chen Xuan nodded, his expression remaining impassive.

He understood Qin Hong's situation quite well.

"Then, please relay a message back for me as well: if the Chief Eunuch agrees, I will go!"

"Understood!"

Qin Hong nodded with evident happiness; he was merely a messenger, after all, and the outcome mattered little to him.

"Indeed, it’s far too dangerous."

"Several groups have already perished there."

"Moreover, they were all top-tier experts."

If he were in Chen Xuan's shoes, he would make the exact same choice. Some time ago, Duke Qin had dispatched people to investigate the two races, but they had vanished without a trace, never to return.

There was no need for speculation; they were undoubtedly lost.

To send Chen Xuan now, in his estimation, was tantamount to sending him to his certain death!

"Hehe, Duke Qin must certainly think highly of me," Chen Xuan said with a light sneer.

However, Qin Hong’s expression immediately tensed; how dare he mock Duke Qin, and right in his presence!

"It seems the rumors are true; Liu Sheng is bound to have him take over the Ritual Department."

"Sigh!"

"A future pillar of Great Yu!"

He sighed inwardly, contemplating that if he could occupy such a position, it would be immensely beneficial. If not, his future standing within Great Yu would undoubtedly be inferior to Chen Xuan's.

"Also, there is a private matter I would like to ask of you."

Qin Hong chose his words carefully, using 'ask' for this request.

Though it somewhat compromised a prince's dignity, in the face of overwhelming power, he felt helpless.

"If it pertains to the Burial Ground, I believe it's unnecessary to proceed."

Chen Xuan stated plainly.

Qin Hong had anticipated a refusal, but Chen Xuan's subsequent words brought him immense joy.

"As long as it doesn't involve any fundamental principles, I will certainly act!"

Moreover, even if Chen Xuan hesitated, Qin Ying would not stand idly by, as he was her own brother.

"Thank you so much!"

This was the true purpose behind Qin Hong's invitation to Chen Xuan today: to secure a crucial promise.

The Burial Ground this time posed an extreme peril, and Qin Ying's power was still significantly lesser than that of Qin Tiandao and the others.

"You are aware, of course, that while my power is adequate, it is still far less than Eldest Imperial Brother and the others!"

However, upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's brows furrowed slightly.

Could it be that those princes were entirely oblivious to the impending arrival of prodigies from various continents to the Eastern Continent?

"What is it?"

Noticing his unusual expression, Qin Hong immediately inquired.

"It's nothing. I'll ask Qin Ying about it later," Chen Xuan replied after a moment's thought.

He decided it was best not tovoice his concerns about such matters, especially since none of the princes seemed aware, yet he possessed this crucial knowledge.

"You don't...."

"Your Highness!"

At that precise moment, a clear voice intruded. Qin Hong immediately halted his speech and turned his gaze towards the entrance of the grand hall.

"Enter!"

A short while later, a maidservant dressed in red entered, offered a respectful bow, and announced, "Your Highness, Lin Fei has arrived and is presently making her way here!"

"Mother Imperial Concubine has arrived."

Qin Hong promptly rose to his feet and looked at Chen Xuan, "Brother Xuan, shall we go together?"

"Alright!"

The two men hurried out of the grand hall. Upon reaching the outermost corridor of the Fourth Prince’s Mansion, Chen Xuan finally laid eyes upon Lin Fei, Qin Ying’s birth mother.
