Ch 195: Epilogue

“Brother Qin, according to the information I’ve gathered, there’s something valuable in the deep ravine behind Da Wan Village. Wang Junjie and four Martial Artists from Yanjing are colluding; they entered the ravine to seek this valuable item.”

That valuable item is a Thousand-Year Herb.

“Right… hey, Brother Qin, how did you know it’s a Thousand-Year Herb?”

Ye Xiong immediately returned to the hotel and hurriedly told Qin Yun the information he had gathered.

He was very surprised when Qin Yun mentioned the Thousand-Year Herb.

You must know, he spent a great deal of effort to obtain this news.

And Qin Yun had been staying at the Baihua Grand Hotel; how could he possibly know such confidential news?

Qin Yun briefly recounted Wang Li’s matter.

Ye Xiong then suddenly realized.

“The Wang Family is getting more and more arrogant! They just send out any Tom, Dick, or Harry, and they think they can dominate our hotel!”

Ye Xiong cursed angrily.

Then he continued to report.

“According to reliable sources, Wang Junjie and his group have been in the ravine for three days.”

“Three days?”

Qin Yun’s expression finally changed.

“We absolutely cannot let them obtain that Thousand-Year Herb.”

Once Wang Junjie obtains the Thousand-Year Herb, it will not only elevate the Wang Family’s strength to a higher level but also strengthen his relationship with those Martial Artists.

This is very unfavorable to Qin Yun.

Most importantly, Qin Yun urgently needs the Thousand-Year Herb to improve his own strength.

Only with strong strength can he protect his family, safeguard the Baihua Grand Hotel for Su Lina, take revenge on the Young Master who framed him in Yanjing, and find Xiaoyu’s mother.

“We can’t delay any longer; we must go to Da Wan Village immediately.”

Qin Yun immediately led Ye Xiong and five agile underlings, driving a van towards Da Wan Village.

The remaining underlings all stayed behind at the Baihua Grand Hotel to prevent the Wang Family from causing further damage.

…

“What? You’re going to that large deep ravine behind the mountain?”

“You can’t go! That large deep ravine is full of primeval forest and monsters that eat people! No matter how skilled you are, if you go in, you won’t be able to come out alive.”

When the villagers of Da Wan Village learned that Qin Yun and his group were going to enter the deep ravine behind the mountain, their faces changed drastically, they refused to lead the way, and dissuaded Qin Yun.

Peach Blossom Village and Da Wan Village are separated by only a few mountains. Qin Yun had been here several times, but he didn’t know anything about the large deep ravine behind the village.

He wanted to enter the ravine and find the Thousand-Year Herb in the shortest time possible.

The most reliable way is to find a guide familiar with the terrain.

After spending more than half an hour, Qin Yun finally found an old hunter willing to lead the way through an acquaintance.

The old hunter was only willing to lead them into the ravine and search the outer perimeter.

As for the depths of the ravine, no matter how much money or favor was offered, he refused.

Under his guidance, Qin Yun, Ye Xiong, and the others smoothly entered the ravine, which was at least 200 meters deep, but it still took them more than two hours.

As the villagers said, the ravine was not only deep but also covered by countless towering trees.

The trees blocked out the sun, making it dark and damp.

Even during the day, it was very dark inside the ravine.

Under the old hunter’s guidance, Qin Yun, Ye Xiong, and the others walked deeper, stepping on knee-deep dead branches and leaves.

After more than three hours, the old hunter stopped.

This was the deepest point he could reach.

“Young men from Peach Blossom Village, let’s go back. You really can’t go any further.

There may be valuable old medicinal herbs inside, but no one has ever come out alive.”

He turned around and sincerely dissuaded Qin Yun again.

Seeing that Qin Yun wouldn’t listen and was determined to continue,

he sighed and left.

In his opinion, Qin Yun and Ye Xiong and the six would surely die in the ravine.

Without the guide, Qin Yun took the lead, taking on the responsibility of leading the way.

At the same time, he told Ye Xiong and others to light torches.

The deeper they went, the more lush the trees became, completely blocking out the sky. It was pitch black, and there were occasional “rustling” sounds around them.

With his extraordinary perception, Qin Yun discovered that they were large poisonous insects and scorpions; the environment was extremely dangerous…

After continuing their arduous journey for five hours,

Qin Yun felt that they were approaching the deepest part of the ravine.

Along the way, he discovered many traces of human passage.

These traces must have been left by Wang Junjie and his group.

It wouldn’t be long before he would encounter those fellows.

After reminding Ye Xiong and the five underlings to be vigilant, Qin Yun prepared to continue forward.

Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead.

“Who’s there?”

“Hey? What are you doing here?”

Two disheveled women stumbled out of the forest ahead.

When Qin Yun saw their appearance, he was momentarily stunned.

These two women were actually Guo Xiaoyan and Zhou Haixia, Ouyang Qian’s colleagues.

After the two women recognized Qin Yun, they were not only greatly surprised but also showed intense fear.

“Qin… Qin Yun?”

“A… are you a human or a ghost?”

“Two ladies, we are, of course, human!”

Before Qin Yun could answer, Ye Xiong smiled and said.

In this dark and dangerous environment, the sudden appearance of two young and beautiful women was like two bright scenery lines, making Ye Xiong and his underlings’ tired eyes light up.

“Ye Xiong is right, I’m certainly a human.” Qin Yun also nodded.

“Y… weren’t you killed by Ji Luosha, your body thrown into the ravine?”

“Ji Luosha?”

Qin Yun then understood that the two women thought he had been killed by Ji Luosha two days ago.

The one who was killed was not him, but Ji Luosha.

However, he didn’t want to reveal his strength too early, so he didn’t explain much, but simply said:

“I didn’t die.”

Guo Xiaoyan and Zhou Haixia did not continue to ask about this matter, but instead frowned.

“If we had known you were alright, Qianqian wouldn’t have had to suffer!”

“Qianqian died so unjustly!”

“Ouyang Qian? What happened to her?”

Under Qin Yun’s questioning gaze, Guo Xiaoyan and Zhou Haixia sadly told the truth.

It turned out that Ouyang Qian had always mistakenly believed that Qin Yun had been beaten to death by Ji Luosha to protect the three of them, and his body had been thrown into the ravine.

She was very sad and guilty, so she entered the ravine alone to search for Qin Yun’s body.

Guo Xiaoyan and Zhou Haixia, worried about her safety, also entered the ravine to help Ouyang Qian.

In the deepest part of the ravine, the two finally found Ouyang Qian, but they also encountered Wang Junjie.

At first, Wang Junjie was wary of their identities.

When he learned that the three of them had gone out privately without any henchmen, Wang Junjie immediately had a wicked idea: to use them to lure the poisonous creatures guarding the Thousand-Year Herb.

Everyone knows that there are powerful poisonous creatures guarding any Thousand-Year Herb nearby.

Wang Junjie had four Martial Artists with him, and the three of Ouyang Qian couldn’t defeat them.

In the end, Ouyang Qian fought desperately to hold back Wang Junjie and his group, allowing Guo Xiaoyan and Zhou Haixia to escape by chance.

At this time, Ouyang Qian must have fallen into Wang Junjie’s hands and was in mortal danger.

The four Martial Artists would also be chasing after them any time.

The situation was very critical. After introducing the situation, Guo Xiaoyan immediately asked:

“Qin Yun, do you have a satellite phone? I need to call the Captain for help.”

The ravine was nearly 200 meters deep, with no cell phone signal; only a satellite phone would work.

They had gone out privately and did not have this kind of equipment.

“We’re just ordinary people; how could we have such advanced equipment as a satellite phone?” Ye Xiong smiled wryly.

Guo Xiaoyan and Zhou Haixia’s faces were extremely grim.

Without a satellite phone, they could only leave the ravine and seek help outside.

By then, Ouyang Qian would have already been killed by Wang Junjie.

“Seeking help is certainly too late; we have to rescue Miss Ouyang Qian ourselves.” After Qin Yun said this in a deep voice, he quickly rushed forward.

“Qin Yun, you’re crazy! Wang Junjie has four Martial Artists with him; each of them is as strong as Ji Luosha. How can we, with just these few people, rescue Qianqian?”

“If we go there, it’s just sending ourselves to our deaths.”

Guo Xiaoyan and Zhou Haixia shouted at the same time.

“A head-on confrontation definitely won’t work. We can only use strategy. In short, I must rescue Miss Ouyang Qian safely.” Qin Yun’s tone was unquestionable.

Ye Xiong and the five underlings were very nervous, but Qin Yun was their backbone.

Seeing Qin Yun moving forward without hesitation, they also gritted their teeth and followed.

Guo Xiaoyan and Zhou Haixia were so anxious that they stamped their feet, but in the end, they could only quickly follow.

Ouyang Qian was their close teammate, and she had put herself in danger to protect them. No matter how dangerous it was ahead, they would never back down.

In the end, Qin Yun, relying on the strength of the third level of the “Longevity Decision” and a clever strategy, successfully rescued Ouyang Qian.

And he used the poisonous creature guarding the Thousand-Year Herb to poison Wang Junjie and the four Martial Artists from Yanjing.

From one of the Martial Artists, Qin Yun also learned that Xiaoyu’s biological mother was Miss Liu of the Yanjing Liu Family.

Returning to Peach Blossom Village, Qin Yun used the obtained Thousand-Year Herb to significantly improve his strength. Afterward, he took Xiaoyu to the Liu Family in Yanjing.

Without much trouble, Qin Yun found Xiaoyu’s biological mother, the Miss Liu of the Liu Family, who had been framed and slept with him that night.

From Miss Liu, he learned that the Young Master who framed him was Young Master Luo of the Yanjing Luo Family.

The Luo Family’s strength was extraordinary, even Miss Liu was very wary of them.

But for Qin Yun, who possessed the “Longevity Decision”, dealing with Young Master Luo was simpler than killing an ant.

After successfully dealing with Young Master Luo and avenging the framing, Qin Yun and Xiaoyu took Miss Liu, and the three of them returned to Peach Blossom Village to live a happy life!
