The meeting between Su Qing and the party did not last very long, since the former was anxious to bring the pills to deal her family members' injuries. And Ye Honghua had left the trio to themselves as well, in their guest chambers, so that she could deal with settling her fellow disciples in. Which was exactly what Qin Feng had been hoping for. He had wanted to have a chance to speak to the other two men, about what they have seen so far.
"What do you think? Do you believe that this is a trap of some sort?"
Lin Liushui shook his head when he heard the questions from Qin Feng. "I would not say that it is impossible, but it is highly unlikely. The injuries suffered by those members of the Su Family are not light, if we are to believe what we have heard from the Su Family servants and such. And the two sons of the Su Patriarch would be crippled if not for those medicines that the Snow Swallow Palace girls had brought along with them. As well as our pills.
"So I am inclined to believe that they are innocent of any ploys, and that this is really a move by their enemies."

Then the handsome fellow shook his head, and his shoulders drooped. "Unfortunately, I am still unable to tell if the ones involved are from the Wuyang Lin Family. The martial arts used on those two Su Family scions are rather commonplace ones here in the Yang Empire, so that can't be traced back to the same."
"So you are saying that they were not hurt by skills that are exclusive to the Lin Family?"
Lin Liushui replied in the affirmative, but cautioned Qin Feng from jumping to conclusions. He flicked his fan open as he pointed out the obvious. "Even our Lin Family practices a variety of martial skills that we have picked up elsewhere. And if these idiots are from our distaff lines, then that is even more commonplace. So it doesn't really prove anything. We will need to wait for them to reveal themselves first, before we jump to any conclusions."
"And they aren't likely to do that, are they? So long as the Snow Swallow Palace girls remain hidden?"
"That seems to be the case. But I do not doubt that they will run out of patience soon, and start spreading the word that the Snow Swallow Palace does not care for its subordinate families and such. We are already three days past the deadline that had been given."
Qin Feng nodded. And gave voice to his thoughts immediately. There wasn't any point in trying to hide them. Not while he was around friends.
"If I was handling this, this would be the best time to strike. Three days overdue is already giving a respectable bit of leeway, so they would be definitely be expecting to take the higher ground when they get here. So we shall need to give them a hard kick when they do arrive."
"That is why we have told the girls to have their Snow Swallow Mountain uniforms readied. If they show up, we shall give them a hard slap before they have a chance to respond," laughed Li Changhai, as the Second Ducal Prince pointed at Lin Liushui.
Who shrugged at the gesture, and continued to fan himself leisurely. The self-satisfied, smug look on his face, however, made it clear that he was more than ready for that eventuality.
"I believe that it is unlikely to be my relatives involved. As you can probably tell, my Wuyang Lin Family tends to be rather confident in its abilities, so it would definitely make a show of entering town, and entertaining guests, once they get here. Not to mention the fact that they would make a rather loud entrance, and hold to the schedule that they had arranged.
"Since we have had no sign of any of the perpetrators so far, I am rather convinced that this has nothing to do with my family."
Qin Feng rolled his eyes when Lin Liushui began with his confident explanation. But he controlled himself, and simply nodded back when the handsome fellow finished. "Then we shall have to prepare for a fight. But we shall take our cues from you, Brother Lin. You shall need to take the lead when they get here. And start the confrontation."
"Of course! And I think you should know what to do, if you see me greeting them like old family members. If I am colder, it should be enough to tell you that they are merely impostors. Similarly, if they do not recognize me, I think you will also know what to expect?"
Qin Feng gave out a rather sinister chuckle when he heard that. Which seemed to surprise the other two men. Which was enough to make him laugh again. This time in a more natural manner:
"Of course! You will get to see me at my worst, I believe. At the least, I shall be exhibiting the sort of behaviour that you usually get to see in those arrogant fools that you read about, in Yuan Qianlei's books. That is where I will be drawing my inspiration from, if you really wish to know," he smiled at the pair, when he saw the looks on their faces.
Li Changhai gave a rather exaggerated version of a shudder, with a rather broad grin on his face, making it clear what he thought about the plan. Lin Liushui, however, merely sighed. And tapped his brow with his folded fan as he pouted at Qin Feng.
"I have a very bad feeling when I hear you say something like that. You make it sound as if we are just about to watch a badly enacted play, involving some of the most outrageous scenes in the history of our Yang Empire literature.
"And if I am truly unlucky, the ones that are going to be suffering the consequences of this debacle are likely to be people from my Lin Family. How would I be able to hide my face, if that happens? It would be so embarrassing!"
Lin Liushui flicked open his fan and hid his face behind it, sighing again. Which was enough to prompt Li Changhai to roar with laughter.
Qin Feng chuckled when he heard the handsome fellow complaints. "Oh? In that case, I will not try to leave any permanent scars. And I'll do my best to keep all of their front teeth intact, when I slap them. That's the least I can do for you, hmmm?"
