He floated over.

Of course, he did not float toward those martial artists. Instead, he floated along the river to the two people standing by the river.

There was a sinister-looking middle-aged woman and a young man in his twenties.

At this moment, the two of them were looking at the place where the pleasure boat sank and talking in a low voice.

Luo Qingzhou saw that the young man’s body emitted a faint red glow. He seemed to be a martial artist, but he was probably only a beginner.

Moreover, judging from his expression, this young man had overly indulged in alcohol and other pleasures of the flesh, so his Qi and blood were severely depleted. The red glow on his body was only that of an ordinary man slightly stronger than the average male.

Luo Qingzhou approached from above and heard their conversation.

“Your younger sister was burned to death here. We can’t even find her ashes… Almost everyone on the boat escaped. Only those few died in the sea of fire. Clearly, something happened before the fire started…’

“Mother, what is going on? Why are you being so secretive? Did Zixi offend someone?”

The woman looked at the river and was silent for a while before sighing. “Forget it, it’s time to tell you. I need you to complete a mission tonight. You have to go personally.”

The young man immediately said, “Mother, feel free to instruct me.”

“As you know, the Song family used the Qin family as a stepping stone to get to where we are today. Back then, the Qin family was on par with the Chengguo Residence in terms of influential power. However, after two generations, they declined. Our family took away their docks and their clothing business… You’re probably not interested in this. Anyway, I’m telling you this so that you understand that only one of us can survive in MO City. It’s either us or them.”

“Qin Chuan will definitely participate in the Dragon Academy’s enrollment next year, Zhe’er. However, Luo Yu from the Chengguo Residence will also participate. The two of them have a very good chance. We can’t count on your older brother anymore. We can only wait until the year after next..

“Also, according to the news I received, the son-in-law of the Qin residence is very talented. He might be able to become a High Scholar in next year’s autumn examination… ”

“You have to know that when the Qin family rises, they will take revenge on us. Back then, Qin Wenzheng’s second sister died of depression because of us stealing their cloth business. They will remember this grudge.”

“Therefore, we can’t be soft-hearted.

“A few days ago, the First Madam of the Chengguo Residence went to look for me and arranged a marriage for Zixi and her eldest son.”

When the young man heard this, he was stunned and said in surprise, “Luo

Changtian? The one who is in the Imperial Army?”

The woman nodded and sighed. “It’s a pity that Zixi isn’t blessed enough to be able to enjoy this. But it doesn’t matter. We still have Ruoqing.”

“Zhe’er, I’ve told you all this because I want you to know that we can’t allow the Qin residence to continue to exist like this, especially because of Qin Chuan and that matrilocal son-in-law. Initially, we were a little hesitant. After all, that scholar is the concubine’s son of the Chengguo Residence. However, after the First Madam of the Chengguo Residence took the initiative to look for me, I understood…”

A cold glint flashed across the young man’s eyes. He said in a low voice, “I understand. That scholar… can’t be allowed to live until next year! I’ll deal with him personally!”

The woman looked at him and said, “Qin Chuan is a martial artist. Usually, he either stays at home to cultivate or follows the martial artist team to hunt demon beasts. We don’t have a chance to deal with him, but that’s not the case for that scholar.’

The young man chuckled sinisterly. “Mother, don’t worry. Although I don’t practice martial arts diligently, and I’m only in the flesh refinement stage, one punch is enough to kill a weak scholar. When the time comes…

“We can’t be careless. According to the First Madam of the Chengguo Residence, the Qin residence values that scholar very much. Whenever he goes out, they might send guards to protect him. However, it’s not impossible for us to strike.”

The woman looked at the river and said expressionlessly, “First Madam said that there’s a little girl in the Chengguo Residence who has a good relationship with that scholar. We can make an issue out of this.’

The young man’s eyes lit up. He said in a low voice, “Mother, is that little girl…

beautiful?”

A fierce glint flashed across the woman’s eyes. She glared at him and said, “Why are you still thinking about those things at a time like this? Speaking of that, previously, when you went out of the city, you snatched a little girl. It’s fine if you played with her, but why did you have to throw her into the well?”

The young man hurriedly smiled apologetically and said, “She jumped in herself. It has nothing to do with me.”

The woman said darkly, “You have to remember this time. Put away those dirty thoughts and be 120% focused. As long as you do this well, your father will naturally look at you in a different light.”

The young man immediately said, “Don’t worry, Mother. I won’t let you down this time. By the way, did you say that you have a mission for me tonight?”

The woman pondered for a moment and looked a little hesitant. However, after a while, she seemed to have made a decision. She looked around and said in a low voice, “At midnight tonight, go to the back alley of the Qin residence and wait. The mole that we have planted in the Qin residence will be waiting. He will tell you about the business arrangements and other secrets of the Qin

residence. For security reasons, he won’t write them down on paper. He will

only pass them on verbally. These things are very important to us. You have to remember them word for word. Can you do that?”

The young man immediately sneered and said, “I thought it was something big. Is that all? Don’t worry, Mother. I’ll complete the mission tonight!”

The woman said solemnly, “You mustn’t let outsiders know about this. In addition, you must go alone. Don’t tell anyone where you are going. That person is very important. You must protect him so that his identity won’t be exposed. Also, there might be moles that the Qin residence also planted in our residence.. You must be careful…
