Chapter 2241 - 2214: You’re Lying

However, the rumor about the Qiu Family Head Token, whether it is true or false, within the Qiu Family, perhaps only the Family Head knows, and no one else has seen this power appear. Over time, outsiders see it as a legend, a lie fabricated by the Qiu Family. Even many within the Qiu Family believe it’s just a legend, a false rumor, and that the Qiu Family does not possess a so-called hidden power.

But at this moment, as he sees this pitch-black iron token, Qiu Tianrui cannot help but have a thought flash uncontrollably through his mind, and he blurts it out.

"That’s right, this is the Family Head Token."

After hearing Qiu Tianrui’s words, without hesitation, Qiu Zhengfeng nods and says, "People think our Qiu Family has fabricated a lie to intimidate others, but today, Tianrui, I want to tell you, our Qiu Family has not fabricated a lie. The rumors you have heard are true. Our Qiu Family has always had a force secretly protecting the Qiu Family. As soon as the Family Head Token appears, they will gather. Now, you are the Family Head of the Qiu Family, so take the Family Head Token, summon them, and use this blade to warn everyone. Anyone who dares to challenge the Qiu Family, no matter who they are, must pay with blood."

Speaking, Qiu Zhengfeng directly takes the Family Head Token and hands it to Qiu Tianrui.

"Yes, Grandpa, I promise I won’t let you down."

Qiu Tianrui nods heavily and extends his hand to receive the token.

"Go on! Do what you should do." Qiu Zhengfeng waves his hand and says.

"Yes, Grandpa, I will leave now."

Saying so, Qiu Tianrui doesn’t hesitate, immediately turns and walks out of the study.

Watching Qiu Tianrui’s departing figure, Qiu Zhengfeng takes a deep breath, says nothing, and slowly sits down in the Taishi Chair, picking up The Art of War by Sun Tzu again. Whether he is reading the book or thinking of something else, probably no one knows.

On the other side, after Qiu Tianrui leaves the study, he makes no stops and walks straight out of the Qiu Family premises.

As the saying goes, swift and decisive action is key. Since deciding to fully support Lu Tianxing, there is no need for hesitation, it’s time to act directly, first eliminating all those with ulterior motives toward the Qiu Family, killing them before anything else.

Moreover, just as he said, no matter how excessive the Qiu Family’s actions are this time, as long as Lu Tianxing is unharmed, the Qiu Family can remain carefree, and no one can do anything to the Qiu Family. If any powerful family dares to make rash moves, with Cangwu stationed at Qin Island, those forces that come to Qin Island are destined for doom.

Besides, if the Qiu Family faces danger, how could Cangwu not act? Even if Cangwu doesn’t care about the fate of the Qiu Family, it’s impossible for him to ignore Qiu Yingrong’s wellbeing, considering Qiu Yingrong’s relationship with Lu Tianxing is not shallow, and Lingling is Lu Tianxing’s goddaughter.

"Tianrui."

Just as Qiu Tianrui leaves the study, suddenly a clear voice echoes by his ear.

With the voice, a graceful figure slowly emerges from the corner, her eyes gentle as water, exuding the aura of a virtuous wife and good mother. Despite it being early winter and wearing more clothes, it doesn’t at all conceal the alluring figure of the woman before him.

Upon seeing who it is, Qiu Tianrui immediately speaks: "Sis, why are you here? Weren’t you going to accompany Lingling to sleep?"

It turns out the person is none other than Qiu Tianrui’s sister, Qiu Yingrong, the woman involved in an enjoyable incident with Lu Tianxing.

"Lingling is asleep; I couldn’t sleep, so I came out for a walk. I didn’t expect to run into you, Tianrui." Qiu Yingrong calmly explains.

Upon hearing Qiu Yingrong’s words, Qiu Tianrui is slightly taken aback, then a wry smile appears on his face. "Out for a walk," this is probably just something to fool kids.

Given that Qiu Yingrong’s residence is some distance from the study, and Qiu Yingrong doesn’t like the solemn atmosphere around the study. Since he was sensible, he had hardly seen Qiu Yingrong come to the study. Now it’s already past ten at night, and Qiu Yingrong tells him she came out for a walk, and the walk brought her to the area she dislikes the most, which is the vicinity of the study, how can anyone believe this?

Qiu Yingrong also knows that her excuse cannot deceive Qiu Tianrui, so she doesn’t dwell on this topic, directly changing the subject, saying: "Tianrui, can you honestly tell me what has happened recently? Why did you suddenly bring me and Lingling back to live at the Qiu Family Mansion? What exactly happened? Does it have something to do with Tianxing?"

Speaking, Qiu Yingrong steps forward two more paces, her eyes fixed on Qiu Tianrui, waiting for his answer.

Looking at his sister’s expression, Qiu Tianrui sighs lightly. Although the Qiu Family has surrendered to Lu Tianxing, he truly doesn’t want his sister to have any connection with Lu Tianxing. After all, there are too many women around Lu Tianxing, while his sister carries a daughter with her. If this spreads out, what kind of look will people give his sister? Although these people might fear Lu Tianxing’s and the Qiu Family’s influence and dare not insult his sister face to face, behind their backs, there will definitely be plenty of gossip.

Rumors are more ferocious than tigers; for a woman, these gossip are the most terrifying bloodless killing blades. Not many women can bear it, and he doesn’t want his sister to ultimately encounter this kind of situation.

But Qiu Tianrui is also very clear that he cannot persuade Qiu Yingrong. He’s too familiar with his sister’s character. Although Qiu Yingrong seems gentle and soft on the outside, her inner stubbornness is unmatched. Once she decides on something, it’s hard for anyone to change her mind.

Taking a deep breath, Qiu Tianrui shows a faint smile on his face and says: "Sis, it’s nothing. Don’t think too much about it, nothing happened. It’s just that Grandpa feels it’s a bit inconvenient for you and Lingling to live outside, plus he misses Lingling, so he asked me to bring you and Lingling back to stay for a while..."

"Tianrui, you’re lying."

Before Qiu Tianrui can finish speaking, Qiu Yingrong interrupts him, firmly saying: "Tianrui, you’re deceiving me, aren’t you? If Grandpa were truly concerned about the inconvenience of me and Lingling living outside, he would have asked us to move back to the Qiu Family Mansion long ago. He wouldn’t wait until these past few days to mention it. As for Grandpa missing Lingling, perhaps that’s true, but Grandpa wouldn’t ask us to move back to live. What’s more, do you really think I’m stupid? Every time I go out these days, several people secretly follow me and protect me. Does this look like nothing has happened?"
