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.

Both of them had sneaked out secretly, so who would cover for Dad and who would cover for themselves?

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.”

“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.
