Arriving near the Medicine Garden, guards immediately stepped out to stop Qin Xuan.
"Halt! This is the Qin Family Medicine Garden. No unauthorized personnel are allowed!"
Several Qin Family guards stared warily at Qin Xuan.
"It's me, Young Clan Leader Qin Xuan!"
Qin Xuan said, taking out his Qin Family token and shaking it at the Qin Family guards.
"Young Clan Leader? The Young Clan Leader would come here? Quickly, invite an Elder to come take a look!"
A Qin Family guard eyed Qin Xuan suspiciously.
No wonder; for so many years, Qin Xuan had never come here.
The former Qin Xuan was a bootlicker who only knew how to follow women around, completely unconcerned with Family affairs, so he naturally never bothered with these matters.
Therefore, they didn't think Qin Xuan would come here.
But the token in Qin Xuan's hand couldn't be faked, so they hurriedly called Qin Hu over.
"What? You said the Young Clan Leader is here?"
Hearing that Qin Xuan had arrived, Qin Hu was also puzzled, and a sharp glint flashed in Elder Du's eyes, making him somewhat suspicious.
"How could it be your Family's Young Clan Leader? Shouldn't it be your Clan Chief?"
Listening to Elder Du's words, Qin Hu was also at a loss.
"It's hard to say about this matter. The letter from the Family only told me to wait, and that Family experts would arrive as reinforcements!"
Without much delay, Qin Hu rushed over.
He wanted to see if it was really the Young Clan Leader over there.
"According to the Family's letter, the Young Clan Leader's personality changed during his three years of disappearance, becoming different from before. I also want to see if this is true."
Qin Xuan was once the most famous bootlicker in the entire Fire Wind City, and Qin Hu naturally knew of Qin Xuan's reputation for spending lavishly on Liu Yiyi.
Now that Qin Xuan was here, it was a good chance for him to see.
Upon reaching the Formation, seeing that it was indeed Qin Xuan, Qin Hu immediately ordered them to let him pass.
Entering the Medicine Garden, feeling the rich medicinal fragrance and abundant Spiritual Qi, Qin Xuan nodded slightly.
It was indeed a good place.
"Young Clan Leader, why have you come? I saw in the letter the Clan Chief sent me that the Family was going to send some experts here..."
Seeing that the person who arrived was Qin Xuan, a barely perceptible hint of disappointment still flashed across Qin Hu's face.
Although the Young Clan Leader was known as the number one Genius in Fire Wind City, he was still just a child.
At a time like this, they should have sent a few reliable people instead.
"Yes, did Clan Chief Qin Yuan really only send you, Young Clan Leader?"
Elder Du hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
Looking at the other party's somewhat agitated expression, Qin Xuan's heart grew cold.
"This is..."
Qin Hu saw Qin Xuan's confusion and quickly explained.
"Young Clan Leader, this is my friend Du Liming. He was sent by the Du Family to help us guard the Formation."
"This Formation was set up by the Du Family back then. With him here, our Medicine Garden can be said to be impregnable. Young Clan Leader can just call him Elder Du."
Du Family!
Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Qin Xuan's eyes, but his face held a bright smile.
"So it's Elder Du, who is in charge of the Formation. I've heard much about you. Then, this time, we'll have to trouble Elder Du to help our Qin Family."
Hearing this, Du Liming quickly spoke courteously.
"Young Clan Leader is too kind. The Qin and Du Families are old acquaintances, and besides, this Formation was set up by our Du Family, so we should be responsible for helping the Qin Family guard it."
After a pause, Du Liming tentatively looked at Qin Xuan.
"It's just that there are still not enough people here. It would be even better if the Qin Family had other Elders as reinforcements."
Listening to the probing tone in the other party's words, Qin Xuan remained calm, merely letting out a cold laugh.
This person is probably problematic, constantly trying to inquire about the number of people the Qin Family might send as reinforcements.
"Of course, before I came, my grandfather had already arranged everything. He took people to the convoy transporting medicinal ingredients, and I came here to take charge. This time, we must eliminate all those who harbor ill intentions towards the Qin Family!"
Seeing Qin Xuan's guileless appearance, Qin Hu couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
The Young Clan Leader was still too naive.
Du Liming's face lit up with joy.
"Good, very good! As long as Clan Chief Qin Yuan makes a move, no matter who comes, they will all be annihilated!"
Hmph, just a useless person with no depth, yet those people in the city value him so much.
Du Liming sneered inwardly, not putting Qin Xuan in his eyes at all.
The few exchanged pleasantries for a moment. Although Qin Hu was somewhat worried, since the Clan Chief had decided to take people to set up an ambush halfway, he felt much more at ease.
"Young Clan Leader, this place is not like Fire Wind City. You might have to put up with some inconvenience."
After arranging a room for Qin Xuan, Qin Hu led his people away.
"It seems there really is an internal traitor, otherwise how could those people have ambushed the Qin Family's medicinal ingredient convoy?"
After the others left, Qin Xuan looked out with cold eyes.
This Du Liming, he's problematic.
From the beginning, he deliberately inquired about the Qin Family's situation, and Qin Xuan also deliberately told him that the Qin Family Head would set up an ambush halfway.
And he also deliberately pretended to be naive.
After all, he would only believe information that was seemingly carelessly leaked.
People are like that; they naturally don't believe what they hear directly, but they are absolutely convinced by what they uncover through their own means.
"As long as this person transmits this intelligence, and my grandfather and the others go out for a stroll, everyone will believe it!"
Qin Xuan sneered, clenching his fists.
Since you want to be an internal traitor, I'll grant your wish. I'll use you, this internal traitor, to send them to their deaths.
"Since the Du Family has defected, the defenses here are probably no longer safe."
Looking around, Qin Xuan's heart stirred, and he immediately left the room.
"I thought there was something wrong with this Formation before, full of flaws, and I thought it was because the person who set it up was too incompetent to arrange a sophisticated Formation. Now it seems they might have done it on purpose."
Qin Xuan stroked his chin.
Hmph, since you want to tamper with this Formation, I definitely can't let you succeed.
Qin Xuan's understanding of Formations was naturally far superior to that of the Du Family.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan stood up; he wanted to inspect the Formation and then repair it.
After explaining to the other Qin Family members, Qin Xuan began to inspect the Formation that the Du Family had set up in Medicine Valley.
An hour later, Qin Xuan's expression became very gloomy.
The Formation set up by the Du Family was not only full of flaws, but once controlled, it could even be used to attack the people within the Formation.
This was not a defensive Formation at all; it was clearly a Formation deliberately designed to trap enemies.
"These Du Family members truly had ill intentions from the very beginning."
Qin Xuan said with cold eyes.
If he hadn't been proficient in Formations and discovered all these issues, once no one could launch a counter-attack, the Qin Family members in the Medicine Garden would have been completely annihilated.
"Heh, dare to lay hands on the Qin Family? Then I'll let you know what you're up against."
Qin Xuan immediately began to repair the Formation.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Qin Xuan's mind.
Since these people wanted to use the Formation to deal with him, he would use the Formation to deal with them in return!
Since the Du Family deliberately made the Formation like this, why not turn their trick against them and modify the Formation? The other side would think the Formation couldn't harm them.
Once they entered the Formation, he would use the Formation to attack them!
Qin Xuan sneered.
"Since the Du Family dared to set a trap for the Qin Family, they cannot be let off."
"They think that with inside help and outside coordination, they can wipe out the Qin Family in one fell swoop, but they are wrong. I will let them know what it means to bring humiliation upon themselves."
As for the Du Family...
After this matter, he would widely publicize that the Du Family and Qin Family had allied.
Qin Xuan pondered coldly, the killing intent in his eyes growing stronger.
"If I do this, the Qin Family won't even need to act; other Families will destroy the Du Family!"
After all, traitors are always the most disliked.
Once the entire Du Family is wiped out, then, under the pretense of avenging the Du Family, I'll wipe out the Families that acted against them too, and others will still say I'm righteous and loyal!
Against such backstabbers, there should be no mercy at all. They must be made to understand their place!
Qin Xuan quickly set up the Formation.
"Alright, the new Formation has been set up. From the outside, it naturally looks exactly the same as before, and as long as the new Formation is not activated, people from the outside can enter unimpeded."
"Once they enter the Formation's attack range, you can make your move and wipe them all out!"
Turn their trick against them, lure the enemy deep, and then wipe them all out!
At this moment, the sun was setting, and night was gradually falling.
The sounds of insects chirping and beasts roaring gradually came from all directions.
The atmosphere throughout the Medicine Valley gradually grew heavy.
Everyone seemed to sense a coming storm.
