Chapter 279: The Audience
"Master is wise, our family indeed doesn't lack this bit of silver, but our reputation cannot be ruined!" The woman opposite said with a smile, completely like a virtuous wife.
Seeing this, Qin Yan was even more satisfied!
This Third Mistress had been with him for so many years, but that considerate and exquisite mind hadn't diminished in the slightest, which made him feel even more at ease with her!
Even when he went out for business, he handed over all the affairs of the Qin Residence to her to handle, and every time it made him extremely satisfied.
"Master, I have already sent someone to summon this person. After you meet him once, I will handle these trivial matters!" The woman continued gently.
Hearing this, Qin Yan smiled slightly, and just as he wanted to say something, a report from a servant came from outside the house.
"Master, Qin Ping has brought the guest. Should I summon him now?"
"Tell Qin Ping to bring him in!"
After Qin Yan ordered casually, he simply closed his mouth and smiled apologetically at the Third Mistress.
"Obey!"
The servant responded and didn't speak again.
And outside the living room, Qin Ping and a silly-looking youth behind him walked in.
This young man walked while looking left and right, examining everything in the room, seemingly curious about everything in the room.
When the two arrived in the hall, Qin Ping reported, and automatically exited the hall. Only the youth was left, facing Qin Yan and his wife with some unease.
Qin Yan and the Third Mistress saw the youth's helpless appearance and couldn't help but smile at each other. Then Qin Yan coughed lightly and said to the youth with a pleasant countenance:
"I heard that little brother has a letter from an elder of the Qin family, is this matter true? Can you hand the letter to me for a look?"
Han Li, who was the youth, glanced at this head of the Qin family, revealed a hesitant look, and asked back somewhat uncertainly:
"Are you really Uncle Qin? My grandfather said personally that the letter can only be handed to Uncle Qin himself!"
Hearing Han Li's words, the Third Mistress was stunned for a moment, then almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.
In the reception hall of the Qin Residence, who would dare to impersonate the head of the Qin family? This young man's question was truly very interesting!
And Qin Yan, hearing this, was stunned, and also revealed a bitter, speechless expression.
He had no choice but to say again:
"I am naturally the genuine master of the Qin Residence, but whether I am your Uncle Qin, that still depends on whether I have seen the letter!"
This deflated look of Qin Yan made the Third Mistress, who was watching from the side, feel extremely interesting. She never expected that the famous head of the Qin family in Yuedu would be doubted by a young man covered in rustic air; it was truly a strange story!
Hearing these words, Han Li's face showed an expression of half-belief, and finally, he dragged his feet and handed the letter, which was almost "rubbed" into waste paper, to Qin Yan.
Qin Yan, who had long been impatient, resisted the urge to snatch the letter and finally maintained his demeanor as he took the letter.
However, he didn't open the letter immediately, but glanced at Han Li meaningfully, and suddenly placed the letter on the table and clapped his hands twice.
After two "pa" "pa" sounds, an old man in a green shirt with white hair walked into the hall immediately.
Qin Yan pointed at the letter without a word, and the old man immediately stepped forward respectfully, picked up the letter, then examined the letter against the sunlight slanting into the hall, and finally placed the letter back on the table with both hands.
"No problem?"
After spitting out these words, the old man bowed and retreated, entering and exiting silently, existing like a ghost.
Qin Yan, who felt relieved, glanced at Han Li indifferently, and seeing this one's confused look, a smile appeared on his face.
Then, without explaining, he skillfully opened the letter and took out the letter paper to read carefully.
The Third Mistress, seeing this, smiled kindly at Han Li and wanted to pick up the teacup in front of her to take a sip.
But before she could even pick it up, Qin Yan, who was sitting and reading the letter, stood up with a "whoosh", his face full of astonishment and strange expression.
"Master, what happened, could it be that this letter is fake?" The Third Mistress, who was startled, hurriedly put down the teacup and asked with great concern.
"No, this letter is indeed true! And it is a letter from an elder who had great kindness to me." Qin Yan's expression returned to normal instantly, and his tone was very calm.
Then he gave his beloved wife a look that said "it's nothing" and re-examined Han Li.
"You are called Han Li?" Old Master Qin asked tentatively. Although his tone was the same as just now, the Third Mistress faintly sensed that something was wrong!
Han Li nodded vigorously, saying:
"Correct, I am Han Li! Is it like what my grandfather said, can I stay here?"
"Hehe! Of course you can. I met Uncle Li Huayuan once when I was young, I didn't expect to see his descendant today, I will treat you like my own nephew." Qin Yan suddenly laughed heartily, his voice so loud that the servants nearby looked at each other in dismay, not knowing why their master was so happy in the living room.
"Come! Accompany me to the side hall to talk about Uncle Li Huayuan's recent situation? No one else is allowed to follow, I want to have a good chat with Nephew Han!" Qin Yan grabbed Han Li's arm enthusiastically and said. Then he dragged Han Li toward the side door and stopped the Third Mistress from following.
This made the Third Mistress, who was already full of doubts, even more confused!
She had no choice but to watch Qin Old Master and Han Li go out from the side door. And she didn't dare to disobey the order and follow them.
At this time, she was full of clouds of doubt!
Han Li followed Qin Yan to a very quiet side hall.
Without a word, he turned an ornamental ancient vase in the hall, and then a secret room appeared out of thin air on a wall.
Seeing this, Qin Yan walked in without hesitation. And Han Li smiled and followed him in.
This secret room was not big, but it had everything it needed!
Not only were there tables and chairs, but there was also a sandalwood bookshelf about a foot high in the room, looking extremely exquisite!
"Since you are a person sent by Immortal Master Li, you are also a cultivator? Just now in the living room, Qin was disrespectful, I hope Immortal Master Han will not blame me?" As soon as Qin Yan closed the door of the secret room, he asked Han Li respectfully.
"It's nothing, ignorance is no sin! Moreover, this play still needs to be continued." Han Li sat down at the table and said indifferently, not caring at all. At this time, his whole person's spirit changed, restoring his original free and easy aura.
"Thank you for your magnanimity, Immortal Master!"
Qin Yan, hearing these words, became even more respectful and stood to the side, not revealing the slightest dissatisfaction.
What kind of people cultivators were, Qin Yan knew too well; these were basically living gods!
Moreover, if it weren't for the strong support of that Immortal Master Li, their Qin family would not have such a prominent reputation today. Reasonably and emotionally, Qin Yan didn't dare to have any disrespect.
"Immortal Master Han, what is the purpose of your visit? Immortal Master Li's letter only explained your identity, but didn't mention the specific matter at all. Can Qin know a thing or two?" Qin Yan asked the question he cared about most carefully.
Because according to his father's instructions before he died, that Immortal Master Li, who had great kindness to the Qin family, would only appear personally or send someone to help when the Qin family encountered danger that could not be solved. Could it be that the Qin family was going to encounter some big trouble again?
Han Li glanced at the anxious expression of the head of the Qin family, thought for a moment, and then said deliberately:
"The matter is like this, actually this involves cultivators from other nations. We received news that..."
Han Li narrated the possibility of the demonic path's Six Sects taking action against the Qin family to Qin Yan in a way that mortals could best accept, making this Old Master Qin look shocked.
After a long while, Qin Yan asked somewhat stutteringly:
"This... does this mean that cultivators from other nations are going to take action against us mortals? This... this... what should we do?"
This head of the Qin family looked at a loss.
And Han Li smiled indifferently and comforted him calmly:
"Family Head Qin, don't worry, the magic power of the cultivators who infiltrated Yue Kingdom this time will not be very high. With me sitting in the Qin Residence, I won't let them succeed easily!"

"Master Qin, do not worry. The cultivators who have infiltrated the Yue Kingdom this time will not have very high magic power. With me sitting in the Qin Mansion, I will not let them succeed easily!"
