120: Chapter 120 No one in the world can harm the Qin family
Qin Xiaogan gazed quietly at the endless, vast river of time rushing before him, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.
It was time to see the secrets hidden within this river.
Meanwhile.
Qin Xiaogan flashed, like a shooting star streaking across the sky, and instantly plunged into the river of time.
His figure stirred up layers of brilliant ripples in the river, which spread outward rapidly like blooming flowers.
Just as Qin Xiaogan was fully expecting to return smoothly to the time node he desired.
An accident occurred.
The rolling river of time, which had seemed to be flowing peacefully, suddenly became extraordinarily ferocious, like an enraged dragon, striking out at him aggressively.
Caught off guard, the powerful impact shattered a portion of the "Emperor" mask that Qin Xiaogan had been wearing on his face.
Seeing this, Qin Xiaogan raised an eyebrow slightly, a flash of sharpness crossing his gaze.
He simply spat out a single word.
"Scram..."
With that said.
The surging river seemed to be struck by great intimidation, becoming as docile as a tamed beast, instantly restoring its previous calm flow, shimmering like a gigantic mirror.
At this moment, Qin Xiaogan successfully slipped into the time node.
The instant he entered, Qin Xiaogan felt a flash of light before his eyes, and the surrounding scenery began to change rapidly.
He felt as if he were in a colorful tunnel, with countless lights and shadows brushing past him, carrying the traces of time and the memories of history.

First Year of Hongwu. Late Autumn.
Yang City, Qin Family.
In an ancient and solemn mansion, fallen leaves drifted down one after another, covering the entire courtyard in a golden carpet.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the main hall of the Qin Family was heavy.
The Patriarch, Qin Zheng, sat upright in the main seat, his brows locked in a frown, his gaze revealing deep anxiety.
The clansmen below also had varied expressions; some were anxious and uneasy, while others were whispering to one another.
Meanwhile, in the backyard of the mansion, a young man was standing quietly under an old tree.
He was the young master of the Qin Family, 'Qin Xiaogan'. With a profound gaze, he watched the flock of geese gradually flying away into the sky, his mind filled with a thousand thoughts.
Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps broke the tranquility.
An elderly man who looked like a butler hurried over, leaned close to the ear of "Qin Xiaogan", and whispered a few words rapidly in a low voice.
The expression of "Qin Xiaogan" changed slightly in an instant; a trace of astonishment and gravity flickered across his originally calm face.
He immediately turned around without hesitation and walked towards the main hall with firm steps.
The moment he stepped into the main hall, the noisy chatter came to an abrupt halt, and everyone's gaze focused on him like a spotlight.
"Qin Xiaogan" took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions, and said slowly.
"Father, there is indeed a force intending to deal with us." His voice was steady and powerful, yet one could still hear the faint worry within it.
"According to the butler's report, this force has a mysterious origin and has been secretly collecting intelligence on our family recently. I fear they do not come with good intentions."
As soon as Qin Xiaogan finished speaking, the people in the hall were in an uproar.
The Patriarch of the Qin Family frowned and asked with a sharp gaze: "Have you found out the purpose of this force?"
Qin Xiaogan shook his head and said: "It is not yet clear, but judging by their actions, it is definitely not ordinary."
"We must prepare early, just in case."
At this time, a clan elder stood up and said: "Patriarch, why don't we send someone to test the waters first and find out the true situation of the other party?"
Qin Zheng thought for a moment and replied: "We must not act rashly, lest we alert the enemy."
"The urgent priority is to strengthen the family's defenses while closely monitoring the movements in the surrounding area."
Everyone nodded in succession.
Just as everyone was heatedly discussing how to deal with this mysterious force.
A trace of blue light, almost invisible to the naked eye, ghost-like, rapidly drilled into the body of "Qin Xiaogan".
Not long after.
Qin Xiaogan slowly opened his eyes, and a heart-palpitating crimson flashed within them.
In that instant, it was as if an evil power had awakened within his body.
Subsequently, he quickly surveyed the surrounding environment with his gaze.
He was stunned at first, then pursed his lips tightly, his expression becoming extremely complex.
"I... have I transmigrated?"

Above the Qin Mansion.
Qin Xiaogan held his arms tightly across his chest, standing as straight as an ancient pine, looking down from high above at the Qin Mansion, which looked like an insignificant little black dot below.
His face seemed covered in a layer of frost; he was expressionless, his demeanor as cold as ice that had not melted for a thousand years.
It was unknown how much time had passed.
Qin Xiaogan narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered to himself.
"This Qin Mansion is, after all, a cage trapping me."
As soon as he finished speaking.
A powerful aura emanated from his body, causing the surrounding air to tremble.
Suddenly, a black shadow sped over from the distance and stopped beside Qin Xiaogan.
"Master, everything is prepared," the black shadow said respectfully.
The corners of Qin Xiaogan's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
"Very good. Tonight will be the end of the Qin Mansion."
Qin Xiaogan had already been at this time node for three full days.
Originally, he had been filled with killing intent, wanting to wipe out all forces hostile to the Qin Family.
In this way, the Qin Family would be able to stand tall forever and would not head toward a doomed ending.
But when he actually arrived, he discovered with astonishment.
The Qin Family had no so-called enemies at all.
In other words.
No one dared to show the slightest disrespect or offense toward the Qin Family.
Because Qin Xiaogan realized with shock that Zhong Chusheng was actually sending people to protect the Qin Family with all his might.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou was actually guarding the Qin Family in silence?
With this level of protection, one might ask, who in this world would have the ability to destroy the Qin Family?
Thinking of this.
Qin Xiaogan already had a clear answer in his heart.
Apart from him, Qin Xiaogan.
No one in the world can harm the Qin Family in the slightest.
