Chapter 1224: I Came to Turn Myself In
The three of them quickly walked to the gates of Xijin City, where people entering the city were being inspected one by one.
There were many soldiers and officers at the city gate, two to three times more than usual. Seeing the notice on the side of the gate, Song Jiaxin knew that these people were looking for the three of them.
Soon it was their turn. Now, Song Jiaxin and Chun Mei were disguised as middle-aged women, a stark contrast to their usual appearances.
The soldiers did a brief check and let them through. Qin Hao was still dressed as a young master, but his appearance had changed and was different from two days ago.
The soldiers at the gate made a cursory comparison and did not inspect further.
Entering Xijin City, it was much more prosperous than those cities in Xiyang City. Walking down the street, Qin Hao said to Song Jiaxin, "Let me first escort you home."
Song Jiaxin nodded slightly, "There might be people watching around our mansion. Let's sneak in quietly."
Qin Hao smiled faintly. The group went into a deserted alley, then Qin Hao disappeared from the spot with the two of them.
Song Family Residence, inside the living room.
Song Kai sat there with a furrowed brow, sighing, his face full of worry.
At this moment, a gust of wind arose in the living room, and then three figures appeared inside. Song Kai's face changed dramatically: "Who dares trespass into my Song Family?"
"Father!"
Song Jiaxin saw her father looking haggard and rushed over as soon as she appeared, her eyes reddening, tears pouring down uncontrollably.
Song Kai was intending to scold her a bit, but upon hearing his daughter's sorrowful sobs, he swallowed back his words.
A few minutes later, Song Jiaxin stopped crying and lifted her head from her father's embrace, "I forgot to introduce you, father. This is Hao Tian, Young Master Hao. If it weren't for him, I would have been killed by villains."
Upon hearing this, Song Kai was taken aback: "What happened? Who wants to harm you? And what is the matter in Xiyang City? The three of you are already wanted by the state lord."
Song Jiaxin hurriedly recounted the events in Xiyang City to Song Kai, whose face turned pale upon hearing it. It was really too dangerous. If it weren't for this Hao Tian's timely rescue, his daughter would have been ruined.
"Thank you, young master, for your timely rescue. I can't express my gratitude enough," Song Kai said respectfully to Qin Hao.
The reason he was respectful to Qin Hao was partly because he saved his daughter, and also because of Qin Hao's power. To be able to defeat the lord of a city, such strength was too formidable. Unfortunately, he's now wanted by the state lord. Otherwise, with his strength and potential, his future was limitless.
Qin Hao said, "No need to be polite, Family Head Song. Because of this, Miss Song is also wanted with me. I will soon visit the state lord of West Jin State and have him revoke the wanted order."
Song Kai was stunned by his words, having Ji Hu revoke the wanted order? He probably can't wait to catch you right now.
"Young Master Hao, you must not. Ji Hu is searching for you throughout the state. If you go to him now, it's akin to walking into a trap," Song Kai urgently reminded him.
The most important thing was that he feared that if Qin Hao was captured, their Song Family would also suffer as a consequence.
Today, when he went to see Ji Hu, he faintly sensed something ominous, as if Ji Hu had intentions of making an example out of their Song Family.
Qin Hao spoke in a bland tone: "He still has the ability to catch me. I'll be back soon."
After saying that, Qin Hao's figure vanished from the living room, leaving Song Kai stunned by his mysterious movement technique. Then he turned to his daughter and asked, "What is this Young Master Hao's strength?"
Song Jiaxin hesitated for a moment and then said, "Young Master Hao said he is a cultivator at the Peak of Extreme Realm Late Stage."
Song Kai's legs nearly gave out upon hearing this: "What did you say? A Peak Extreme Realm Expert?"
Song Jiaxin nodded slightly, "That's what Young Master Hao said himself. Are you alright, father?"
She noticed that sweat had emerged on her father's forehead and was a bit worried.
Song Kai wiped the sweat from his forehead, his body slightly trembling from excitement. A Peak Extreme Realm Expert? He had never seen an Extreme Realm Expert in his life.
The current king of the Red Wind Dynasty seems to also possess Extreme Realm capabilities, right? His strength is akin to the king's, possibly even stronger.
Our Song Family is going to prosper. As long as we maintain good relations with this Young Master Hao, we are bound for greatness.
He turned to his daughter and said, "Jiaxin, this Young Master Hao is a gigantic opportunity for our Song Family. You must grasp it well. Whether our Song Family can soar depends entirely on you."
Song Jiaxin's cheeks flushed instantly at his words: "Father, what do you mean by that?"
Seeing his daughter's expression, Song Kai knew she must also have feelings for Hao Tian. He was secretly delighted and began to smile as he said, "Don't you understand what I mean? A young expert like him has immense prospects. He might even become a legendary supreme expert, a supreme expert... Jiaxin, you must seize this opportunity well. It not only concerns your happiness but also the future of the family. You should take the initiative."
Song Jiaxin's face was red. Father, you weren't like this before.
Didn't you teach me to uphold virtue, be reserved, subtle, and ladylike?
And now you want me to take the initiative to seduce him?
...
State Lord Mansion the Ji Family.
Ji Hu was currently in the study enjoying time with a newly accepted concubine. She was a young beauty of eighteen, the daughter of a merchant family, noted for her exceptional appearance and graceful figure, which caught Ji Hu's eye.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the study. The two people caught in the act were stunned, and the concubine let out a scream, causing Ji Hu's face to change significantly.
But the sound in the study couldn't get out because Qin Hao had set up a restriction.
Ji Hu looked at Qin Hao with a solemn expression and wary eyes, "Who are you? What do you want from me?"
He glanced at the concubine, whose face and figure were top-notch. She was hastily dressing.
Qin Hao sat on a nearby chair and said flatly, "I heard the State Lord Ji is looking for me?"
With that, Qin Hao's face changed back to how it was a few days ago.
Ji Hu, seeing Qin Hao's face, was stunned. This person looked very familiar, and suddenly he remembered: "You're the one who caused a big scene in Xiyang City?"
Qin Hao nodded slightly, "That's right, it's me. Didn't State Lord Ji issue a warrant? I've come here personally. State Lord Ji can make your move now."
