Chapter 18: It Was Really Overestimating Her

Thus, only Qin Bi, Qin Tang, Qin Xun, and Qin Lang went to the Beast Realm small space together.

With Qin Bi's words just now, Qin Di and Lady He felt a bit like these few were going on a one-way trip. They were uneasy in their hearts, but they couldn't stop them; whether they could cultivate immortality depended on this training.

Qin Xun should have gone to the Beast Realm small space years ago, but the Marquis Manor really couldn't scrape together a decent magic tool, not even a teleportation array. Therefore, for so many years, Qin Xun had never trained.

"Qin He is still the lucky one." Qin Lang said sourly.

Mentioning training, everyone remembered Qin He.

Qin Bi felt a tug in her heart. When Qin He trained back then, she had the Yan Guogong Manor's Heir Apparent, He Yan, prepare magic tools for her. Now that they were going out, they had nothing. Lady He glanced at Qin Bi, not daring to have any expectations.

Rong Juan might not necessarily prepare things for Qin Bi; she had better take out her dowry!

Qin Bi was distracted, but she still sensed Lady He's gaze. She understood in her heart and said: "Rong Juan prepared a teleportation array."

Hearing this, Qin Di breathed a sigh of relief. Having a teleportation array was enough.

Lady He also breathed a sigh of relief. Rong Juan probably gave one for the sake of the child.

With this settled, Qin Bi stood up to leave. Qin Tang and Qin Xun went to see her out of the manor gate. Qin He was not far away watching the child; this time she didn't come over to greet them, too lazy to bother with Qin Bi.

Qin Bi couldn't ask for more. Her lifespan was damaged, and she had no heart to deal with it.

Next was preparing for the training. Qin Bi didn't need to worry about this; Rong Juan would naturally prepare it for her.

Now that Lady He of the Fourth Branch didn't even return to her maiden family, she definitely couldn't rely on the Yan Guogong Manor. He Yan, this cousin, seemed to only look at the Second Branch differently, holding Qin He in the palm of his hand.

Qin Tang and Qin Xun no longer had expectations for He Yan and went directly to the Prince Rong Manor to discuss with Rong Juan.

In the study, Rong Juan held the child and leaned on a chair carved with Auspicious Clouds, saying: "Rong Yang's maternal grandfather's family cannot be too poor. If the Marquis Manor has no strength, it won't be good for Rong Yang. Protect your sister well during this training. If Qin Bi and Rong Yang are well, your Marquis Manor will be well."

Qin Tang was serious: "Heir Apparent, rest assured, Qin Xun, Qin Lang, and I will definitely protect Qin Bi."

Rong Juan was noncommittal about the word "protect."

"I don't have anything good to give you." Rong Juan took out a few defense plates for Qin Tang and Qin Xun: "My Rong Yang will live a wealthy life and live freely. I am saving up family assets for him. I won't say wealthy enough to own the world, but it can't be too bad. For this training, don't expect me to give you anything else."

Rong Juan used to be very generous, but now he couldn't. It was fine if there was income, but Rong Juan felt pained to spend even a little on unrelated people.

Qin Tang and Qin Xun were already very satisfied. This defense plate was of good grade. Rong Juan thought for a moment, then rummaged through the small treasury Rong Yang played with—it was a sandalwood box inlaid with various agates, jades, and crystals.

Rong Juan took out a few spirit stones, feeling pained, then threw one back into the small treasury, only then giving them to Qin Tang and Qin Xun.

Sending off Qin Tang and Qin Xun, Rong Juan returned to the courtyard.

Qin Bi was surprised to find that the vegetable seeds she planted had sprouted. A few small seedlings, lush and quite vigorous. Qin Bi was astonished; theoretically, the teacup for drinking tea was very small, and things planted wouldn't grow.

These few small seedlings were green and looked like they were growing very well.

Counting them, there were six.

Rong Juan carried the child into the room. Qin Bi immediately went over with a smile to coax Rong Yang: "Give me the small teacup to use."

Rong Yang wasn't greedy for money and gave the small teacup to Qin Bi. Qin Bi was full of joy. She didn't know how to use the small teacup either, but she took it to the vegetable seedlings she had planted, and suddenly, a teacup of water condensed in the small teacup.

Qin Bi watered the small seedlings and turned back to give the small teacup to Rong Yang.

Rong Juan sat down and gave the five teleportation arrays to Qin Bi, instructing her earnestly: "Once you go to the Beast Realm, don't give the teleportation arrays to anyone. If there is danger you can't handle, activate the teleportation array and return immediately."

Qin Bi picked up the teleportation array to look at it and nodded, saying "Mm." The teleportation array was a small scroll; she was a bit surprised, as she had never seen a teleportation array in this cultivation world.

Seeing her interest in the teleportation array, Rong Juan said: "The smallest teleportation array is no problem for teleporting you few. The other teleportation arrays are slightly larger, sent by the Emperor. Theoretically, one should be left for Rong Yang. The Beast Realm is full of danger everywhere, so I won't leave one for my son. You must use them sparingly; if you don't use them all up, bring them back and put them in Rong Yang's small treasury."

Qin Bi: "..."

Everything was being scraped together for his son; this was truly a biological father.

Qin Bi agreed: "I will use them sparingly."

"You have children at home. If cultivators can't beat the beasts, don't worry about anyone else." Rong Juan instructed patiently: "Don't tell anyone about the teleportation arrays you carry. Even if Qin Tang and the others are in danger, just protect yourself and activate the teleportation array to return immediately."

This instruction changed flavor. Qin Bi looked at Rong Juan with a strange expression. Abandon her brothers and sisters? Could she do such a thing?!

Rong Juan was really overestimating her; she couldn't do it.

Back when He Yan married and took a concubine-wife, it was her father and brothers who stood up for her.

Qin Bi wouldn't lose this sense of security from her maiden family; perhaps she could use it again next time.

Rong Juan held the child and "tsk"ed, not feeling heartless at all.

The Beast Realm was a place where the strong preyed on the weak; human life was like an ant.

These two days, Qin Yan Hou and the old Marquis were busy preparing for Qin Tang and the others' training. Qin Tan even went to the homes of several colleagues to find people to help buy things needed for training. It would be good to get a few more defense plates.

Rong Juan didn't need to worry; Qin Bi couldn't use many things anyway.

Besides, if he gave good things, Qin Bi and Qin Tang and the others wouldn't be able to protect them.

Whether they could enter the path of cultivation depended on this training.

Qin Bi watered the seedlings in the morning, and by the afternoon, one had wilted leaves. The part near the soil was still green, but the leaves were drooping. Qin Bi observed, not knowing if it could survive.

Moreover, looking at it, this wasn't a vegetable either!

Searching carefully, she found another small seedling in the soil by the edge of the teacup, very small, not yet emerged from the soil. She guessed it was the same plant as the small seedling.

The one with wilted leaves should have been watered too much. Qin Bi didn't dare to water it anymore.

The soil in the Great Yan Kingdom was compacted, and water sources were scarce; she was even saving water.

These two days, Rong Juan had been feeding the child egg custard and porridge so that the child wouldn't fuss when Qin Bi wasn't home. The little one was very well-behaved; when Rong Juan fed him, he would open his mouth to eat, and when happy, he would kick his little legs.

Rong Juan calculated that if Qin Bi wasn't home and the child fussed, he would go to the Imperial Palace to ask the Emperor for spiritual food to feed the child.

They were leaving tomorrow, and Qin Bi was too nervous to sleep.

The little one didn't sleep either, kicking his little legs and gnawing on the small teacup happily. Qin Bi's mood improved, and playing and playing, she forgot, lay down, and soon fell asleep. When she woke up, it was late, and she hurried into the carriage to rush to the departure point. ===== CHAPTER 19 =====
