Chapter 103: Someone Wants to Compete with You for Fortune

~8 min read 1,577 words

Mentioning fortune value, Qin Tang said: "Grandfather knows a Xian Sect immortal. Let's find time to invite someone from the Xian Sect to take a look at our Qin Yan Hou Manor. It wasn't easy to become a cultivation family, so we must protect it."

Qin Di had the same intention and planned to mention it to the old Qin Yan Hou.

Qin Bi said half-jokingly: "Inviting someone from the Xian Sect is not as good as inviting me."

Qin Di glanced at her with annoyance, but Qin Xun smiled: "You can see it? Then calculate our manor's fortune, what kind of luck the manor has now, and whether the family can go further."

Qin Bi had words on the tip of her tongue, but only smiled.

Some things were her conjectures, and no one would believe them even if she said them. A mystic master wasn't something you could just be; this also required talent. The specific talent was unknown, and if you weren't a Xian Sect disciple, people wouldn't teach you the skills.

Qin Bi, Qin Tang, and Qin Xun left the study. The illegitimate daughter of the fourth branch saw them and twisted her handkerchief in jealousy.

They were all illegitimate daughters, but they had higher value and slightly better talent than Qin Bi. Why was Qin Bi valued by her father and brothers because she married well? In the past, everyone was the same.

Jealous and hateful in her heart, she couldn't say anything, and each of them was extremely stifled.

Qin Bi returned to the main hall and talked to He Shi. Rong Yang still had to go back to study his lessons, practice, physical training, and reading. As a qualified little Heir, he couldn't lack any of them.

Qin Bi didn't know what Rong Juan's plans were. Rong Juan valued the child extremely highly. Once the child was born, the position of Heir of the Rong Prince Manor would inevitably be Rong Juan's biological child. Rong Juan had previously intended for Rong Yang to return to the Yan Guogong Manor to compete for the title.

Now, Rong Juan didn't mention it.

The reborn Rong Heir, Qin Bi couldn't guess him; his heart was just hard.

Qin Bi left, and the illegitimate daughter of the fourth branch stayed by He Shi's side, not saying she was leaving for a long time. She didn't say it on her lips, but she was waiting for He Shi to reward them with a few crisp, sweet red radishes. No matter what, they were also people of the fourth branch.

After the illegitimate daughters married, even if it was to a merchant, it would be a merchant family with some foundation, which was a help to the fourth branch, especially for Qin Tang and Qin Xun.

He Shi was the legitimate mother and had means to manage the household. How could she not see the thoughts of the illegitimate daughters?

"All of you go back." He Shi sent them away.

The illegitimate daughters were stunned and left resentfully.

Qin Di took a dozen crisp, sweet red radishes and went to the old Qin Yan Hou's courtyard. The old Marchioness was surprised, greeted her son to sit down, and the old Qin Yan Hou asked, only then knowing they were sent by Qin Bi.

"This child is our own child, and she doesn't stand on ceremony with her maiden family." The old Qin Yan Hou glanced at the crisp, sweet red radishes: "They grew them well, with plenty of moisture. These vegetables are fresh in winter."

"They aren't vegetables." Qin Di broke one himself and gave it to the old Qin Yan Hou and his wife to taste.

"Put them away." The old Marchioness ordered the maid.

Qin Di followed the old Qin Yan Hou to the study and mentioned inviting a mystic master, but didn't mention a word about killing the Xian Sect people. This matter was not small, and the Xian Sect had great powers, so he was afraid of walls having ears.

This matter was left to rot in their stomachs, and the people of the Qin Yan Hou Manor all knew it in their hearts.

Even Qin He didn't dare mention it when she returned, which showed that Qin He was also afraid of the sect's anger.

When Qin He left, Cui Shi had beaten her down, and it was quite harsh. Just once, and no one in the manor would mention it again. Qin He was stifled and used spiritual power again, resting to nurture her pregnancy for the past two days.

Every time Qin He thought of the slaughter that day, she felt uneasy. She couldn't say why; she hadn't been to the Beast Realm for training, and slaughter was very common, but this time she was always uneasy.

Xue Qing and He Yan had been away for several days, and no prey had been sent back. Qin He couldn't eat ordinary ingredients, vomiting everything she ate. The Xue Marchioness was so anxious that she sent someone to the spiritual plant street to turn around and buy some spiritual food for Qin He to eat.

After a day, the Xue Marchioness looked at the bill: "Two hundred beast crystals?"

The steward bowed: "Reporting to the Marchioness, yes."

The next day, the Xue Marchioness sent Fubao to play at the Yan Guogong Manor, and Fubao brought back bags of things.

Qin He leaned on the concubine couch and called Fubao to her side: "Is the Yan Guogong Marchioness good to you? Does she like you? You must coax the grandmother of the Yan Guogong Manor well; someone wants to compete with you for fortune."

"Grandmother He likes me very much." Fubao was proud.

Qin He smiled with satisfaction. Wanting to compete with her Fubao? Dream on.

The Xue Marchioness breathed a sigh of relief. With these things sent by the Yan Guogong Manor, she could spend fewer beast crystals. It was just that the things given by the Yan Guogong Marchioness were not as valuable as before, but the old Marchioness of Yan Guogong was still generous.

After He Yan left the court, the Xian Sect people came. Some disciples had no life value, so the Xian Sect people searched all the way, reaching the area where the Great Yan capital's nobles lived, and then couldn't find them. Using immortal arts to probe also yielded no results.

Several noble families were adjacent, and their cultivation was not enough to be feared, especially the Qin Yan Hou Manor, which had no strength to kill Xian Sect people. There was no way, so the Xian Sect people responsible for this matter entered the palace to ask the Great Yan Emperor for an explanation.

"The life value is gone!" The Great Yan Emperor drank a sip of tea, hissed and said: "This is strange. The universe is vast, and if an immortal just flies over Great Yan and is gone, coming to me to ask for an explanation seems to make no sense?!"

An old man in green robes from the Xian Sect said: "But the people of my Qingxuan Sect lost their life value in the Great Yan capital."

The Great Yan Emperor looked at Rong Juan and the six ministers and said: "Use your immortal arts to find them!"

The Qingxuan Sect had this immortal art, and the Great Yan Emperor could also do it, but with the Qingxuan Sect people present, the Great Yan Emperor, a blessed emperor, had no intention of showing off in front of experts.

"We searched." The Qingxuan Sect old man choked: "We couldn't find them."

The Great Yan Emperor spread his hands: "I have no way either."

The Qingxuan Sect people returned without success, riding clouds in the sky, and returned to the sect without gaining anything.

"Still trying to blackmail me?" The Great Yan Emperor snorted coldly, drank a sip of tea, and then hissed in confusion: "I don't know who did it? Well done."

Several ministers also felt it was quite satisfying. The Xian Sect people were always arrogant and used to being unreasonable. Even the Great Yan Emperor had to smile at the Xian Sect people, so killing them was good.

Rong Juan returned to the Prince Manor, entered the room, sat down, and said to Qin Bi: "The Xian Sect people have left."

Qin Bi was surprised: "They just left like that?"

"Otherwise?" Rong Juan took Qin Bi's hand and gently felt her pulse.

He had been reborn several times, and Qin Bi had never practiced cultivation. Qin Bi could practice cultivation in this life, which Rong Juan found surprising, but he didn't dwell on it. He could be reborn, so some things could change.

The child was fine, Rong Juan withdrew his hand, a smile appearing in his eyes.

The Marchioness Qin Yan heard that Qin Bi had sent vegetables, so she went to the fourth branch to sit for a while. A maid cut a crisp, sweet red radish and served it. The rose-red small pieces were crisp and fresh. The Marchioness Qin Yan tasted it and was surprised.

"Very sweet." The Marchioness Qin Yan said: "Sister-in-law, you don't mind giving me a few, do you?"

The Marchioness Qin Yan had already opened her mouth to ask, so He Shi shared a few flowered crisp, sweet red radishes with her. Not many, and the Marchioness Qin Yan left after taking them.
