Divine Doctor Dragon Master

Qin Jiang heaved a sigh of relief and smiled, "It's nothing, there must be people who had a dispute and are quarreling."

Still shaken, Qin Jiang asked, "By the way, Mom, did anyone come into our house just now?"

Wen Wenling shook her head, "I've been knitting on the couch all this time, I didn't see anyone come in."

Yet Qin Jiang felt something was amiss.

Even though air freshener had already been sprayed, he still felt that something was a bit different.

However, Wen Wenling said so, and he also let down his guard.

"Could it be that someone helped us out? Was it Elder Mr. Shen?"

"Quite a few of the guards have fallen, someone must have broken in just now! But they actually didn't come for Mom?"

In the midst of Qin Jiang's doubts, Xu Muge also hurried over, gasping for breath.

Upon seeing Wen Wenling unharmed, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Muge is here too?" Wen Wenling greeted Xu Muge as if nothing had happened, "Come in and sit down! What are you standing there for? You two seem a bit off."

Qin Jiang wiped away the cold sweat and said, "Mom, it's nothing, I thought a thug had broken in."

Wen Wenling smiled faintly, "You're overthinking it."

"I need to make a phone call," Qin Jiang said as he walked out and dialed Shen Longting's number.

Shen Longting picked up immediately, "Master, Miss Qin is currently very safe. Our people arrived just now and found that Miss Qin is still unharmed."

"However, we discovered something strange."

"Let's hear it!" Qin Jiang frowned.

"When our people arrived near Jiangcheng University, we detected several murderous auras. Following the trail, we only found a bit of blood at the scene."

"It seems someone intervened and cleaned up the scene."

"There were several streaks of murderous aura, probably a group of people, but they were wiped out in an instant, leaving no trace!"

"Keep an eye out!" Qin Jiang took a deep breath, "Don't let anything happen to Sisi."

Qin Jiang hung up the phone, weighed down with heavy thoughts.

Just then, Shen Tianhua walked over, "Qin!"

"Elder Mr. Shen!" Qin Jiang hurried to pay his respects, holding this elder in high esteem.

"I have something to tell you," Shen Tianhua said in a low voice, "Please come inside for a chat—"

Qin Jiang followed him into the Shen Family home.

Shen Tianhua sighed, "Has the Chu Family started to make their move? Just now, I saw someone entering Tianlong Garden, they broke into your Qin Family home!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Jiang's expression tensed slightly, "They have already broken into our Qin Family?"

"Yes!" Shen Tianhua said with a bitter smile, "At that time, I was ready to intervene, but someone else took action first, saving your mother, so it wasn't convenient for me to go over. It seems, Qin Family has a benefactor watching over you from behind."

Qin Jiang was shocked inwardly. According to Shen Tianhua, a bloody battle must have taken place in his house, but Wen Wenling claimed she saw nothing at all?

What exactly was Wen Wenling hiding?

"Thank you, Elder Mr. Shen!" Qin Jiang responded politely.

"You're welcome," Shen Tianhua said with a light smile, "It's what I should do."

Qin Jiang exchanged a few more pleasantries and prepared to leave the Shen Family home.

Shen Tianrong smiled slightly, "I hear, Qin, that you will be reporting to the Martial Arts Department soon?"

Qin Jiang's heart skipped a beat!

It seemed Shen Tianrong also knew about this.

But upon reflection, it made sense—Shen Tianrong was Ye Longchen's mentor, owed a life-saving debt by him, and Ye Longchen held him in great respect. It was normal for Shen Tianrong to be aware of the matter.

Perhaps Ye Longchen even sought Shen Tianrong's advice before deciding on this.

"Indeed, I have to report to the Martial Arts Department. After all, I'm considered one of them," Qin Jiang said with a wry smile.

Shen Tianrong sighed, advising, "Qin, this journey is fraught with danger; please be extra careful! By the way, my granddaughter is about to join the Martial Arts Department, and she's preparing to report there in the next few days. How about she travels with you? What do you think?"

Before Qin Jiang could reply, Shen Tianrong called out, "Steward Xiao."

"Yes, master!" A seemingly ordinary middle-aged man walked out from inside.

He looked honest and simple-minded.

But Qin Jiang could tell, the man's eyes shone with a restrained sharpness, clearly indicating that he was a martial arts expert.

Shen Tianrong said with a smile, "This is the steward of our Shen Family, also a martial artist. He will be escorting Yuerong to Yuncheng. You may as well travel together."

Qin Jiang glanced at Shen Tianrong and immediately knew the other's intent.

Although Shen Tianrong did not say it explicitly, he understood that Shen Tianrong intended for Steward Xiao to accompany him and help escort the Gene Potion to the Martial Arts Bureau.

Qin Jiang felt grateful and gave a bow, "Then I thank Elder Mr. Shen for this!"

It would be overly pretentious of him to refuse such a kind offer.
