However, Su Bin was taken by surprise when he heard his brother and sister’s responses.

Turning his attention to Qin Zhenzhen, he inquired, “Third Sister-in-law, is your Fourth Brother also a.s.sisting you in the prefecture?”

Qin Zhenzhen affirmed with a nod, “Yes, indeed! In addition to my Fourth Brother, my grandma will also be accompanying us. But rest a.s.sured, the house is quite s.p.a.cious with numerous rooms, providing ample living s.p.a.ce.”

“It’s certain that you won’t be short of tasks if you decide to join them, ” he added, displaying his lack of concern regarding his own role.

A content smile graced his features, radiating happiness as he continued, “If your Fourth Brother is heading to the prefecture, I’d be glad to accompany you.”

His statement caught the attention of the group, prompting inquiries about his reasoning.

Why was he choosing to accompany Qin Silong?

Qin Zhenzhen regarded him with a puzzled expression.

After all, her Fourth Brother had once harbored intentions of harming him. Even if those intentions had subsided, it wasn’t as if he had suddenly turned amiable towards him.

In a past dream of Qin Silong’s, Su Bin had been depicted as being slain by bandits along with his entire family.

Certainly, he must have sensed Qin Silong’s lingering hostility. So, how could he appear so oblivious?

Su Ping clarified his stance, “Third Sister-in-law, there’s no ulterior motive behind my words. I’m merely acknowledging your Fourth Brother’s exceptional prowess in martial arts. Just the other day, he single-handedly engaged four a.s.sailants dressed in black and effortlessly incapacitated me with only two moves.”

“At that moment, I truly comprehended the disparity between my limited martial arts skills and your Fourth Brother’s remarkable abilities.”

He then turned to Qin Zhenzhen for help.

“Truth be told, I’m actually keen on acquiring some skills from your Fourth Brother, but I’d greatly appreciate it if you could put in a good word on my behalf,” he admitted, his expression tinged with embarra.s.sment.

“I’m well aware that your Fourth Brother bears ill feelings towards me.”

“Past actions were my own doing. My temper used to be quite volatile, and I often resorted to yelling at people. However, I’m committed to rectifying this flaw in my demeanor moving forward.”

Qin Zhenzhen found herself torn between amus.e.m.e.nt and exasperation.

In reality, her own four brothers weren’t much better in terms of behavior.

Since her Fourth Brother’s unsettling dream, she had diligently impressed upon her siblings that malevolent deeds would ultimately yield retribution. Consequently, her three brothers had gradually curbed their bully-like tendencies.

The irony lay in the fact that Su Bin remained oblivious to the reason for her Fourth Brother’s disdain, attributing it to his past actions.

Even she couldn’t deny her own reservations about him.

However, during this period of reflection, Qin Zhenzhen had tried to view his actions from an outsider’s perspective.

In the fabricated narrative, he had orchestrated the raid that decimated the Qin Family, driven by a convoluted interplay of historical grievances that had morphed him into a malevolent figure.

The original host’s coerced marriage to Su Bin had already laid the foundation for his resentment towards the Qin Family.

Following the host’s untimely demise, the four Qin brothers’ attempt to murder Su Bin’s own brother further stoked the fires of his fury.

Regrettably, this course of events resulted in unintended injuries, casting a heavy toll on his Fourth Brother, rendering him permanently debilitated.

Moreover, the Qin Family had been indemnified with all that Su Bin’s family possessed. Consequently, he found himself a fugitive, unable to return home or gather his kin.

His misfortunes became a source of bitterness aimed squarely at the Qin Family.

In the years he spent as a bandit, he resorted to arson, murder, and pillage, driven both by a struggle for survival and a skewed concept of societal justice.

Subsequently, Qin Silong spearheaded a military operation that encircled the bandits’ stronghold. The very lair upon which he depended for survival met its obliteration, erasing the refuge he had clung to. Every member of the gang that inhabited the hideout faced their demise, and even he narrowly escaped decapitation at the hands of Qin Silong..
