Chapter 5205: 5.0957 Down and Out

"Family Head, what I, what I said is all true. There's, there's a sound recording jade talisman as proof."

Qin Hong's eyes flicked, and a grim-faced man standing beside him stepped forward, grabbing Gu Yixuan from the ground and snatching the sound recording jade talisman he offered. From within the jade talisman came two snippets of Zhao Yi's voice: "I'll make my move tonight! Junior Sister, don't worry, I'll definitely get you that Cosmic Reversal Talisman. Wait for my good news."

Qin Hong let out a cold snort. "Go inform Luo He and tell him to be wary of internal traitors."

"Yes." The gloomy man, Qin Cao, turned and cupped his hands at Family Head Qin. Just as he was about to stride out, the door was suddenly kicked open with a loud bang, and a cold gust of wind rushed in from outside, rustling the scattered branches and leaves on the floor of the dilapidated temple.

"Second Young Master, what is this?"

"Get lost." Qin Xin, without a word, drew his hand back and delivered a heavy slap to Qin Cao, sending him stumbling aside. Qin Cao was furious. He raised a hand to cover his left cheek, narrowed his eyes, and glanced sideways at the Second Young Master's retreating back, his gaze filled with animosity. His dissatisfaction with this Second Young Master surged again, spreading like wild grass. The Second Young Master was indeed incredibly arrogant, treating him, the Family Head Qin's first attendant, with such rudeness and disdain. The attitude of summoning and dismissing him at will clearly treated him, Qin Cao, as merely a dog. Despicable!

The Second Young Master Qin strode in. Behind him, his close attendant, Huang Yong, was dragging a person as if pulling a dead dog, bringing them inside. With a loud "bang," Huang Yong threw the person he was dragging onto the ground, eliciting a cry of pain.

Family Head Qin, seated at the head, his old face grim, stared coldly at the scene before him. He let out a low growl, barely suppressing a surge of anger. "Second Son, what are you doing?"

The First Young Master Qin, who loved to watch a good show, stepped in with a chuckle, cocking his head. He stood calmly to the side, dutifully playing the part of a spectator. He remained silent, merely observing his elderly father's agitation, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Family Head Qin, seeing his expression, felt even more enraged. Both of his sons were excellent, but the problem was, they never truly regarded him as their father. Everything they did seemed to be in opposition to him, as if everything he had ever done for them was wrong. Despicable!

Family Head Qin subtly glanced at his two sons, his gaze falling upon the man wailing on the ground. This man, with his legs crippled, was now half-slumped there, clinging to life like a dying dog.

"Why have you dragged Hall Master Mu here?" Qin Hong asked coldly.

"Oh my, is this truly our esteemed Hall Master Mu of the Talisman Family? Oh dear, oh dear, it's been a long time, but what a change!" A light, floating laugh came from the side.

Family Head Qin shot a cold glance. Ci Wei, the Deputy Hall Master, who was standing to one side, couldn't help but purse his lips, feigning silence. He hadn't seen this Hall Master Mu in a while. He truly was a capable person; even with two crippled legs, he could still serve his master. He was indeed a good dog of Tianyun. Ci Wei secretly chuckled, scrutinizing Mu Jingfeng, who was half-lying on the ground. Compared to his former handsome and distinguished appearance, Mu Jingfeng at this moment looked as shabby as an old man scavenging on the streets. Oh, what a desolate sight.
