Kong family, Dark Star, swordsmen!
This night, three factions convened emergency meetings successively.
Aside from the Kong family, the other two forces didn't even know who their true enemy was!
Especially the swordsmen, they were completely clueless about the enemy's strength.
The drunkard, a mid-stage Grandmaster, had also disappeared.
This was truly shocking.
Logically speaking, even a late-stage Grandmaster would find it difficult to stop the drunkard.
While the drunkard was no match for a late-stage Grandmaster, escaping would have been easy.
At the old Kong family residence, Yun Niang had recounted Qin Han Chu's words.
"Good! What a fine young man!" Kong Zhan Yun's expression turned ferocious with anger. He slammed the table and roared, "Since he sent a challenge, how can our Kong family not accept!"
"Third Uncle, should we notify the Old Ancestor?"
"Since Qin Han Chu dared to come, he must have strong backing," Yun Niang said.
"Yun Niang is right, we mustn't underestimate this fight," Kong Zhan Yun nodded. "I will notify Third Uncle."
"I will invite a Grandmaster from the Yu family to assist, to guard against any variables," Yun Niang stated.
Kong Zhan Yun pondered and nodded, "Alright, you handle this."
Just then, a middle-aged man answered a phone call.
"Third Uncle, just got the news. Qin Han Chu has been hired as an instructor for the Blood War Army," the middle-aged man said after hanging up the phone.
"When did this happen?" Kong Zhan Yun asked in surprise.
"Just today, Wang Zhan personally went to the military academy to invite him."
"In that case, Wang Zhan must be involved in Second Uncle's death!" Kong Zhan Yun said angrily.
"Wang Zhan wants to cultivate him as his confidant!" Yun Niang remarked.
"Reaching late-stage ninth rank at the age of twenty, such a prodigy is worth cultivating."
"Now that he has an official position, if we kill him, will it provoke Wang Zhan's retaliation?"
The Kong family members nodded, sharing this concern.
"Although Wang Zhan is powerful, he is only the administrator of Island City!" Kong Zhan Yun declared. "In our city, he can't act recklessly!"
Yun Niang added, "He came to provoke us. So what if we kill him!"
The next afternoon, Qin Han Chu returned with three large bathtubs.
Besides the tubs, he also brought many traditional Chinese herbs.
"Is this for us to take medicinal baths?" Lin Ying asked, surprised.
Qin Han Chu nodded and chuckled, "Smart. I'll cook all three of you tonight."
"The medicinal bath is fine, but you can't peek," Xin Xin said.
"If I'm going to peek, it'll be at my own fiancée, not you," Qin Han Chu laughed.
Upon hearing this, Jin Hai Lu and Lin Ying blushed instantly.
"You're asking for trouble," Jin Hai Lu said with a cold expression.
Qin Han Chu gave an embarrassed smile and then went into the kitchen to boil the herbs.
While boiling the herbs, Qin Han Chu began teaching Jin Hai Lu the introductory mental cultivation techniques and boxing methods.
At eight in the evening, Qin Han Chu started pouring water for the three of them.
During this time, Lin Ying and Xin Xin were not idle.
Under Qin Han Chu's arrangement, they began filling the bathtubs with water.
By eight in the evening, everything was ready.
Qin Han Chu said, "Go change into your swimsuits."
Before long, three beautiful women emerged wearing swimsuits.
Jin Hai Lu's swimsuit was relatively modest, even featuring a skirt to cover her hips.
However, Lin Ying and Xin Xin's swimsuits were much more daring.
They were standard three-piece bikinis.
Even though they were wrapped in towels, their good figures were still evident.
"Chant the calming mantra a few more times, don't lose control," Xin Xin smiled.
As a vigorous young man, Qin Han Chu indeed found it difficult to maintain a state of mental tranquility.
He took several deep breaths before finally stabilizing his mind.
Pouring the medicinal soup into the bathtubs, Qin Han Chu said, "It's time to put the dumplings in."
"Do you want dumplings?" Lin Ying teased.
"Don't play with fire at a time like this. All three of you combined can't stop me when I'm enraged," Qin Han Chu smiled.
Hearing this, Lin Ying and Xin Xin obediently fell silent.
Soon, the three of them entered the bathtubs.
Qin Han Chu pressed the bathtub's warming button and then began to perform acupuncture on the three women.
With the aid of acupuncture, the body could absorb the medicinal effects more thoroughly.
Just five minutes later, the acupuncture was completed.
"Bear the pain, if anyone can't take it, don't blame me for using force."
As soon as Qin Han Chu finished speaking, the three felt a slight stinging sensation in their bodies.
At first, they could endure it, but the stinging intensified.
Jin Hai Lu, being an ordinary person, was the first to be unable to bear it.
As she tried to stand up, Qin Han Chu suddenly pressed down on her head.
Under Qin Han Chu's strength, Jin Hai Lu had no room to resist.
"Ah, it hurts so much!" Jin Hai Lu cried out in pain.
"The first time is difficult to endure, you'll get used to it after a few more baths," Qin Han Chu knew very well how torturous this pain was, as he had gone through it since childhood.
No matter how much Jin Hai Lu was in pain, Qin Han Chu remained unmoved.
Not long after, Lin Ying and Xin Xin also began to falter.
Qin Han Chu only had two hands, so he had to use acupuncture to restrict their mobility.
Just then, the neighbors from across the hall returned.
Hearing the sounds from the room, the two adults quickly covered their children's ears.
Hearing the closing door of the neighbors, Qin Han Chu suddenly realized that it could cause misunderstandings.
"Excuse me," Qin Han Chu inserted needles again, silencing their voices.
An hour later, the medicinal effects were fully absorbed.
Only then did the torment of the three women begin to ease.
"Qin Han Chu, I'll kill you."
As soon as their fine needles were removed, Lin Ying jumped out.
She swung her small pink fists at Qin Han Chu, beating him repeatedly.
Qin Han Chu stood there blankly, staring.
"Stop hitting, your strap is about to come off," Xin Xin said.
Hearing this, Lin Ying quickly hugged her arms and ran back into the room.
Even Jin Hai Lu gave Qin Han Chu an displeased glare. They had been tormented so badly, yet Qin Han Chu showed no pity.
What angered the three the most was that while they were suffering, Qin Han Chu was munching on sunflower seeds and watching variety shows.
For the next few days, the three women had to endure such torment daily.
Although it was painful, they could directly feel the effects of the medicinal baths.
Jin Hai Lu and Xin Xin felt the most impact from the medicinal baths.
After two nights of medicinal baths, Xin Xin had even broken through her cultivation realm.
As for Jin Hai Lu, she had reached the rank of a second-grade martial artist.
Time flew by like a white steed.
Saturday had arrived.
Logically, Qin Han Chu was supposed to report to the Blood War Army today.
However, since he had an appointment with the Kong family, he naturally had to deal with the Kong family matter first.
His identity as an instructor was merely a cover; it wouldn't affect him much even if he took leave.
It wouldn't be too late to go to the Blood War Army tomorrow.
At seven in the morning, Qin Han Chu boarded the helicopter arranged by Wan Tong.
At the Kong family residence, Yun Niang entered the council hall.
"Reporting to all elders, Qin Han Chu has boarded the helicopter and is en route," the Kong family received news as soon as Qin Han Chu left Island City.
"Who is accompanying him?" At the head of the council hall, an elder with an ethereal demeanor sat in a grand armchair.
This person was the strongest ancestor of the Kong family, Kong Han Feng!
