Of course Qin Shaochen didn't know that he was being targeted.

After he returned to his small house, he ate something casually, then carried the medicine basket and went straight to Zhou's medicine hall.

There were still no other customers in the medicine hall. Xiao Liuzi, who was sitting behind the counter, couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Qin Shaochen and immediately came over from behind the counter to greet him.

"Senior Brother Qin, you are here! During this period, I have heard many people mention your name!"

“The title ‘Dali Qin’ is quite famous in Zhangjiajie!”

Qin Shaochen felt happy and couldn't help but laugh.

"Junior Brother Xiaoliuzi, I haven't seen you for a few days, but you are getting better and better at talking. It's not like your style to flatter your senior brother as soon as we meet!"

"I don't mean to flatter you, I'm just telling the truth."

Before Qin Shaochen could speak, Zhou Ziyao's voice came from the second floor.

"Xiao Liuzi, stop talking nonsense, is it Qin Shaochen who is here? Quickly ask that 'Dali Qin' to come upstairs."

"Did you hear that, not only me, but also the shopkeeper knows your name!" Xiao Liuzi said with a smile.

Qin Shaochen laughed and raised his hand.

"Don't worry about me, I'll go up by myself."

After saying that, he took three steps and two steps at a time, and quickly reached the big room upstairs.

I saw Zhou Ziyao sitting behind a stove, holding a long ladle in his hand, stirring the soup in a medicine jar. It seemed that he was boiling medicine.

Qin Shaochen stepped forward to greet him and said respectfully: "Outer disciple Qin Shaochen has met Elder Zhou!"

Now that he has come to Zhou's Medicine Hall, he is naturally a disciple of the Medicine Sect.

There was also a smile on Zhou Ziyao's old orange-skinned face.

"Boy, you've been lucky lately, and you've been doing well!"

"Not only did he come third in the Qin family competition, but he also gained the reputation of a 'strong Qin', which made Xiaoliuzi envious all day long!"

"Elder Zhou was joking. It was a nickname that some juniors came up with for fun. It was just to make fun of my brute strength!"

"Brute strength is also strength! As long as you can knock the enemy down, that's good!"

Zhou Ziyao chuckled.

"You kid, your luck is always very good! This time, you and your family are also lucky!"

"Although I sold you the 'True Spiritual Pill', I didn't expect that your little sister would actually succeed in opening her spirit!"

"Hey! No one else can match your luck!"

"That's my little sister's luck, and it has nothing to do with me."

"However, I still want to thank Elder Zhou! If it weren't for Elder Zhou's help, how could my little sister have succeeded!"

Zhou Ziyao put down the ladle in his hand, fanned his palm, and a strong wind blew by, and the flame in the stove was immediately extinguished.

He ignored the potion, walked to the wooden chair and sat down on his own, and motioned for Qin Shaochen to sit down as well.

"Those elixirs were sold to you by me. After charging enough money, they can't be considered a favor!"

After a pause, he continued: "I asked you to come up here because I want to ask you, your little sister successfully opened her spirit. How many spiritual orifices did she open?"

Qin Shaochen hesitated for a moment and then told the truth.

"She's quite lucky and has three spiritual orifices opened!"

"Three Aperture Spiritualist!"

Zhou Ziyao frowned.

"She is very lucky, but her future... is also going to be a lot of trouble!"

"Elder Zhou, what do you mean...?"

Qin Shaochen couldn't help but be stunned.

"This junior is inexperienced and has little knowledge. He doesn't understand the truth. Please let Elder Zhou explain it clearly!"

"Well! Your little sister...now that she has become a spiritual warrior, it's time for me to tell you some things."

Zhou Ziyao shook his head and sighed.

"I have told you before that becoming a spiritual warrior may not be a good thing! Those words... are not said casually!"

Zhou Ziyao hesitated for a moment and looked at Qin Shaochen meaningfully.

"Of course I'm not saying that it's not good to be a spiritual warrior. What I'm saying is that during the process of growing up, a spiritual warrior has to face many more difficulties and dangers than ordinary warriors!"

Qin Shaochen nodded, deeply convinced.

Qin Luo had just become a spiritual warrior when he was pursued by the Wang family, and even two great martial artists were involved.

If he hadn't mastered the fireball technique and caught the opponent off guard, things would probably have gone bad!

"And the spiritual warriors are relatively weak in the initial stage, so most of the time they can only rely on many warriors to maintain them!"

"The better the spiritual warrior, the more protection he needs."

"Let me ask you, how much protection have you prepared for your little spiritual man?"

Qin Shaochen was speechless and speechless!

"Or, you think in your heart that since your little sister has returned to the old Qin family, she has the Qin family's warriors to provide her with protection, so she no longer has anything to worry about?"

Qin Shaochen nodded blankly.

"Hey! You've always been very smart and capable. Why are you so confused about this matter?"

Zhou Ziyao said leisurely: "Do you really think that those in your old Qin family will work hard to protect your little sister without asking for anything in return?"

When Qin Shaochen heard this, he was startled and shook his head involuntarily.

"Of course...it won't be...free!"

"Yes, you finally understand! They will provide protection for your little sister, and even provide her with training resources, but... it will not be without a price!"

"Then...what do they want?"

"There are many things that you can think of. It may be a pill that can be refined by a spiritual man to extend life, or it may be an invisible talisman that kills people."

"It's even possible for your little sister to spend decades studying formations, and then set up a clan-protecting formation for the old Qin family...!"

When Zhou Ziyao said this, his tone became meaningful!

"As long as your little sister has to rely on their protection, then...this relationship can only be maintained!"

Qin Shaochen opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end nothing came out.

Although he was unwilling, he also knew that what Zhou Ziyao said was the cold reality.

"Hey! In fact, the moment your little sister became a spiritual warrior, she lost her freedom and became... a person who must rely on external support to survive."

"She can no longer have her own life and her own wishes! She can only live within the walls built for her by others..."

Zhou Ziyao's words were full of cruelty.

Qin Shaochen felt a chill in his heart!

Before, when he knew that his little sister had become a spiritual warrior and would face many dangers, he already felt a little regretful!

Now, he discovered that the problem was even more serious than that...!

"That's why I said that it may not be a good thing for your little sister to become a spiritual warrior!"

When Zhou Ziyao said this, he paused and suddenly said: "Unless...!"

"Unless what?"

"Unless she is a master and can protect herself. Or, your big brother...can protect her well!"

Zhou Ziyao looked directly at Qin Shaochen, but his tone was very calm.

"As long as you can provide sufficient protection, she will no longer have to submit to the arrangements of the old Qin family. In the future, she may have a chance to live...the life she wants!"

Qin Shaochen glanced at Zhou Ziyao thoughtfully and remained silent.

The old Qin family naturally saw the value of Qin Xiaoluo, so they hurriedly took him away.

Of course they taught Qin Luo many things and made her grow up. But in the future, I will definitely ask for something in return.

As for whether their request is reasonable and fair, it actually depends on whether Qin Xiaoluo has enough strength around him.

If there is no power around the little sister, then from now on, she can only be controlled and exploited by others...!

Zhou Ziyao stopped talking and let Qin Shaochen sit there and think.

After a while, Qin Shaochen took a long breath.

"Elder Zhou, I probably understand what you mean. But I don't know what to do to...protect my little sister?"
