My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 655: Father and Sons Reunited?

“Second Brother?”

“Big Brother…”

“How come you’re here?” The two shouted at the same time with different expressions.

I had clearly warned him like that, but he didn’t take his father and elder brother’s words to heart… Qin Feng coughed dryly to hide his embarrassment. 

We had agreed to guard the family together, but Big Brother had secretly come alone. No wonder Bai Qui had told me that the words of scholars couldn’t be trusted… Qin An shifted his gaze, unable to meet the other’s eyes.

Qin Feng’s current mood was like the feeling he had before an exam in his previous life, when he and his good buddies had patted each other on the back and promised not to review, just to see who was the best. Then they ran into each other unexpectedly at the library on the weekend.

They both hated each other’s shamelessness and were so embarrassed that they wished they could find a hole to hide in.

And it seemed that Second Brother felt the same way.

But after the embarrassment, they both thought of a more serious problem at the same time.

And considering what the other had just said…

“Big Brother (Second Brother), that letter you mentioned earlier, could it be… uh…”

Qin Feng sighed helplessly and pressed his hand to his forehead. His head was throbbing. After all, they were brothers from the same family, and their thoughts were surprisingly similar.

Judging by the time, their family probably already knew that he and Second Brother had secretly come to the Southern Domain.

The most critical issue was their father’s side. They had promised Father that the two brothers would cover for him, but now neither of them was at the Qin Mansion.

If their family saw the contents of the letter, they would definitely not be able to hide their father’s identity from the Second Mother…

Qin An had obviously thought about this aspect as well. The once-healed wounds began to hurt again. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, “Big Brother, if Father finds out that we secretly came to the Southern Domain and even revealed his identity, will he beat us to death?”

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng trembled all over as he felt a shiver run down his spine, as if his father was not far behind, glaring at him and his brother in anger.

Shaking his head to dispel these absurd thoughts, Qin Feng reassured, “Don’t worry. Haven’t you forgotten? Father mentioned before he left that he would accompany the Divine Marquis Army to the southern realm. We’re going to Prince Luo’s city with the Duke’s Army of Military War. Our paths will not cross.”

“What about after we return?” Qin An asked uneasily.

Qin Feng thought for a moment. “We’ll have to think about that after we return. Besides, by the time we get back, Father will be busy with Second Mother. He won’t have time to scold us again.”

Qin An nodded and chuckled, “Big brother, you’ve thought it through. Hmm… it’s strange though. Why has the temperature in the southern domain dropped so much lately? I feel a chill running down my spine.”

“I feel the same, little brother. Had I known, I would have worn an extra layer.”

Just then, a curious new recruit behind them asked, “Uncle, why would someone of your age join the Military War Duke’s Army as a new recruit? Do you also want to slay demons and ghosts and make a name for yourself?”

A familiar voice with seven parts anger, two parts resentment, and one part killing intent sounded behind them, “I have two clueless brats at home who insisted on coming to this mess in the Southern Domain. As their father, I have no choice but to accompany them and take care of them.”

At this remark, both Qin Feng and Qin An froze and turned to see Father Qin glaring at them in a brand new military uniform.

With his anger so intense, every step Father Qin took caused cracks to form on the ground beneath him, this was the result of his uncontrolled aura leakage.

After taking a few deep breaths, Father Qin forced a rather ugly smile and waved his finger.

Qin Feng and Qin An instinctively stepped back.

“Hmm?” Father Qin’s face darkened even more, as if it could drip water.

Not daring to avoid him any longer, they slowed down and fell to the back of the formation next to Father Qin.

Within moments, groans and cries of pain could be heard.

A group of curious soldiers looked over and saw two new recruits being held down by an older man, their faces bruised and swollen.

“What happened to you?” someone asked curiously.

“They just stumbled a bit earlier and I helped them up. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of these two boys,” Father Qin said with a smile.

“Oh.”

With the new recruits diverting their attention, Qin Feng forced a strained smile and asked, “Father, weren’t you supposed to accompany the Divine Marquis Army on this expedition? How come you’re here?”

Father Qin calmly replied, “The Divine Marquis Army has teamed up with the Demon Slaying Department of the Southern Region, where there’s no shortage of high-level combat power to handle dangerous situations.” 

“Meanwhile, the Divine Marquis Army is on its way to Prince Luo City. Although it has a large number of soldiers, it lacks high-level combat power, so I changed my mind and decided to accompany the Military War Duke Army.”

Qin Feng was immediately flattered, “Father, your foresight is remarkable. If you were to become a general in the military, you would surely go down in history and be praised by everyone.”

Qin An chimed in, “Big brother is right. Father is truly amazing.”

Father Qin snorted coldly, his hands turning into claws as he grabbed the backs of Qin Feng and Qin An’s necks. “Stop this nonsense. It seems that I was too lenient back in the Imperial City. You didn’t listen to a word I said.”

Looking back, the view of Imperial City was blocked by mountains, and the Military War Duke Army had entered the Southern Region’s territory.

“Right now, go back to Imperial City immediately. If not, I’ll break your legs and throw you back,” Father Qin’s words sent chills down Qin Feng and Qin An’s spines. At this moment, Father Qin was indeed capable of such actions.

After all, broken legs could be healed, but losing one’s life left nothing behind.

As Qin Feng was contemplating his next move and how to react, a sudden change occurred.

On both sides of the mountain path, the roar of beasts suddenly sounded, accompanied by the rustling of leaves and the wild swaying of trees.

Then several loud bangs were heard.

The towering trees, which took several people to hold, were broken by an unknown force and crashed down onto the mountain path.

The veteran soldiers reacted immediately, spreading out to the sides of the path and crossing their weapons to block the falling giant trees.

Those wielding blades remained on high alert, guarding against any potential danger from the surrounding area.

However, with the suddenness of the event, it was impossible to be fully prepared. One of the trees fell directly onto the back of the formation.

The new recruits, inexperienced in such situations, failed to react quickly despite their physical strength.

Even with the urgent shouts of the old soldiers, the new recruits were in a state of panic.

At this critical moment, a white light barrier appeared out of nowhere, blocking the falling tree.

Then, a slash of blade qi swept through, instantly cutting the massive tree that required several people to hug into two halves with a smooth cut that made one’s heart skip a beat.

This sudden turn of events stunned the old soldiers on both sides of the formation.

Undoubtedly, the white light barrier and the blade qi that had just appeared came from the new recruits.

But which new recruit could possess such miraculous abilities and such formidable swordsmanship?

After narrowly escaping the danger, the new recruits looked around with gratitude and wanted to find the person who had intervened.

Qin Feng and Qin An pretended to look around like everyone else, as if they were looking for the person who had acted.

However, Father Qin furrowed his brow and said, “Stop pretending, big trouble is coming.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng and Qin An immediately became alert.

“Be careful!” shouted one of the old soldiers in the formation.
