Chapter 800 - Bald Man is Handsome (1/2)
Qin Haodong persuaded Yan Feifei, but Qin Zongheng is not going to stay here. “Don’t stop me,” he said. “I’ve been away from the secular world for more than 20 years and there’s no need to go back now.”
Qin Haodong was annoyed to see his father being so stubborn. “If you go back and be a monk, what about mom?”
Qin Zongheng let out a long sigh and said, “Qin Zongheng hasn’t fulfilled his responsibility and there’s only Hao Yue now.”
That’s what he thought. After leaving for so many years, he was too ashamed to face his wife.
“You’re running away. You’re a coward.”
But Qin Haodong was relieved after hearing his words. If he was too ashamed to face Chu Xuanyue, he didn’t take everything as emptiness. Since he still had affection for his wife, Qin Haodong might be able to bring him home.
Qin Zongheng fell silent for a moment, and then said, “I don’t care whether I’m a man or a coward. I have to leave now.”
Then he waved his hand gently, and an invisible force pushed Hu Xiaoxian, Feng Wu, and others aside.
Knowing that this was Qin Haodong’s father that he had been looking for for many years, the girls didn’t know what to do. They all looked at Qin Haodong for help.
“Wait a minute,” Qin Haodong stopped Qin Zongheng and said, “I have already taken control of six of the seven major families in the capital, and I haven’t figured out how to deal with the Qin family yet.
Considering what the Qin family has done, I can totally destroy it. But I haven’t made the final decision for your sake. I want you to take over the Qin family, but since you’re not going to come back, I can only destroy it.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Zongheng’s expression finally changed. “You can’t do this. After all, he is your grandfather.”
“I was adopted as an orphan since I was a child. If I didn’t even have a father, how can I take Qin Zhan’ao as my grandfather? Well, if you come back, I’ll keep the Qin family, and if you turn down my offer, I don’t think the Qin family should exist in the capital.”
“What…”
Realizing that Qin Haodong was not joking, Qin Zongheng hesitated. For someone who grew up in aristocratic families, the family’s interests were his top priority. That was why he would rather leave than break with Qin Zhan’ao.
Seeing the victory close at hand, Qin Haodong continued, “It has been difficult for my mother to live alone for those years, and she has been pursued by countless people. But she has always been thinking of you and never agreed to remarry.
If you leave again this time, there’s no need for her to remain single. I’ll tell her that you’re dead and find a good man for her.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Zongheng was immediately enraged. “You brat, how dare you!”
Qin Haodong gave him a playful smile and said, “What’s there to be afraid of? I’ll do it if you dare to leave!”
“You…”
Qin Zongheng was rendered speechless and has been persuaded. Although he was wearing a kasaya, he still did not forget his beloved wife.
“Come home with me. You don’t even have a ring scar on your head. You can’t even be regarded as a monk.”
Then he took his father’s arm and rushed to the capital with members of the Tang Sect.
Qin Zongheng had wanted to be a monk because he thought he had let his wife down. But his son has changed his mind and Qin Zongheng was now extremely eager to see Chu Xuanyue.
Those standing at the foot of the mountain were confused. They didn’t know why Master Hao Yue would follow Qin Haodong.
Others didn’t know what had happened, but Qin Zhan’ao immediately recognized that Master Hao Yue was his son, who had been missing for years. They were father and son, after all.
If Qin Haodong hadn’t recognized Hao Yue as his father, Qin Zhan’ao might have suspected that the two just looked alike. But now Master Hao Yue followed the members of the Tang Sect, so this man must be Qin Zongheng.
After the shock, he said excitedly, “He’s Zongheng! My son’s finally back!”
Qin Zhanlong asked, “Brother, what are you talking about? Where is Zongheng?”
Qin Zhanfeng also asked, “That’s right, big brother. Are you crazy?”
“He… he’s Zongheng!”
Qin Zhan’ao pointed at Master Hao Yue and said, “No wonder there has been no news of him these years. It turns out that my son has become a monk.”
It was only now that everyone realized that Master Hao Yue was Qin Zongheng. They were the same person.
Upon hearing Qin Zongheng’s return, the members of the Qin family were excited at first, but then their emotions became complicated.
Since Qin Haodong took charge of the capital, the relationship between the Qin family and the Tang Sect was ambiguous compared with the other six families. Because of what the Qin family had done before, Qin Haodong did not have a good impression of them.
So they had always been afraid that the Tang Sect might destroy them if they did something wrong.
Now that Qin Zongheng who was at the middle stage of the Saint Realm, had returned to the imperial capital. If he was in charge of the Qin family, the whole family might be great again.
However, according to the current situation, Qin Zongheng had not forgiven them yet. Otherwise, he would have come over to see them.
Therefore, it was still impossible to determine whether his return was a blessing or a curse for the Qin family.
For Qin Zhan’ao, boundless remorse came flooding back once again. He had an outstanding son and a powerful grandson. But they didn’t take themselves as a member of the Qin family just because of a mistake he had made years ago.
He sighed, waved his hand and said, “Let’s go back!”
After they left, the other six big families also returned to the capital. Other practitioners who came to watch the fun also left. Calm was returning to the vast Kunlun Mountain once again.
In the Tang Sect, Chu Xuanyue was playing with the little fellow while Qin Haodong came in excitedly.
“You’re back. Where have you been? It’s just me and the little guy at home.”
Fearing that his mother would be worried, Qin Haodong didn’t tell her about the battle between him and Zhan Wudi.
He smiled and said, “I brought you something precious. It’s a big surprise. Do you want to have a look?”
“Something precious? Is it that Xiaoxian and the others are pregnant?”
