Chapter 673: Only for a Clear Conscience

Chapter 673: Only for a Clear Conscience

Qin An was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: “Brother, what are you talking about? I won’t go back!”

“I am your big brother. Even if father is not here, I am your big brother as good as a father!” Qin Feng frowned.

Qin Feng knew better than anyone else how dangerous this battle with the Garuda Clan was. Of course, he didn’t want anything bad to happen to his younger brother here.

“I respect my big brother. Normally, I would listen to you no matter what you say. But this time, I can’t!”

“Master often tells me that warriors value purity of heart and clear intention. Only with a clear mind can one move forward bravely and be invincible in battle.”

“If one fears death and chooses to flee, then my martial arts training would be meaningless.”

“This time, I will pick up my long knife and slaughter those bird people of the Garuda Clan, and let them know that the human race cannot be bullied!”

Every word struck a chord and resonated deeply.

Qin Feng couldn’t help but be moved by his younger brother’s words, but he couldn’t allow his brother to take such a risk. He reasoned with him, “You’re still young, you haven’t even married Bai Qui, who is waiting for you in the Imperial City.”

“Listen to your big brother, don’t get involved in this mess. Go back to the Imperial City sooner, you’ve got me and dad here, that’s enough.”

Qin An objected, “By your logic, the one who should go back the most is you. Both your wives are pregnant and need your company. What if something happens to you in this battle...”

“Shame on you!” Qin Feng interrupted with a few spits. “Don’t speak bad omens! If you have nothing good to say, don’t speak at all! Are you really not going back?”

Qin An stood firm, “I will not go back.”

Qin Feng sighed upon hearing this. “Since you are determined, I won’t say anything more.”

He looked north and said, “Tomorrow, we will attack Tianling Mountain. Little brother, I wonder if the moon seen from the Imperial City is as bright as the one we see here. I wonder if Second Mother and the others are also looking at the moon and worrying about us.”

Qin An, a straightforward warrior, was immediately touched by his brother’s words. He looked into the distance, lost in thought.

Seeing this, Qin Feng silently approached him from behind. His right hand turned into a chop, and a complex expression flickered in his eyes. “Little brother, don’t blame Big Brother. Big Brother is doing this for your own good.”

With this thought, Qin Feng swung his hand and struck Qin An on the back of the neck. He wanted to knock him unconscious and send him back to the Imperial City!

*Snap!*

The sound was crisp, but the effect wasn’t quite what he expected.

Qin An turned around and felt his neck curiously. “Big Brother, what are you doing?”

Qin Feng’s face stiffened. Damn it, it seems like TV dramas really do deceive people. Who came up with the idea that a tap on the neck could knock someone out? What a brainless scriptwriter!

Could it be that his strength wasn’t enough?

“There’s a mosquito,” Qin Feng silently withdrew his right hand.

They were determined to live or die together with the Military War Duke Army!

When the Chief of Jinyang City saw Qin Feng, he was surprised at first. After learning about the situation, he couldn’t help but sigh and ordered Yang He and Zhang Tiannan to take good care of Qin Feng and the other soldier.

The moon was exceptionally bright tonight, but no one in the Southern Territory had any intention of admiring the moon. They only felt that the sky was extremely dark.

Inside the inn, the night breeze blew open the window of the room where Qin Feng was staying, causing the candlelight to flicker.

A stream of moonlight poured into the room, illuminating it as bright as day.

Out of the moonlight, the figure of the seven-colored horned white deer manifested. It slowly approached and looked at Qin Feng, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and then placed its horn on Qin Feng’s forehead.

In an instant, Qin Feng’s consciousness awakened from his Divine Sea. When he saw the White Deer in his Divine Sea, his heart was overwhelmed with shock.

A soft voice echoed in his mind, “You’ve been knocked unconscious and now you’re in Jinyang City.”

Qin Feng reacted and remembered his father’s despicable ambush. He hastily said, “Senior, can you wake me up?”

“And then what? With your current strength, you can’t affect the outcome of the battle at all. Even if you leave, you’ll just be throwing your life away.”

“I hope Senior can help me wake up. I want to do my part without any regrets,” Qin Feng said firmly.

“Even if it means death?” the White Deer asked quietly.

“Even if it means death!”

“Why?” the White Deer asked curiously.

“Just to have a clear conscience!” Qin Feng said firmly.

His father had said many words to him, most of which he had brushed aside as mere words. He would agree with them and then immediately forget them. But among them, there was one phrase that he had always remembered: “Never forget your original intention, only then can you remain steadfast and always seek a clear conscience in all things!”

The White Deer’s eyes sparkled, as if he saw the shadow of that person in Qin Feng.

Both of them were willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the world.

“I can awaken you,” the White Deer said.

“Thank you, Senior!” Qin Feng exclaimed excitedly.

“But not now...”

Qin Feng frowned, “What do you mean, Senior?”

The White Deer stepped into the void in Qin Feng’s Divine Sea, then looked at the countless Destiny Stars in the sky before speaking again, “Although time is short, there should still be enough time. Tonight, you have to reach the third-tier realm. Only then can you use the divinity I have bestowed upon you...”
