Chapter 195: No One Can Erase Her Credit
Qin He first went to the Marquis Manor to call the Qin Yan Hou's wife, her eyes searching. "Where is my eldest cousin?"
"He's not here." The Qin Yan Hou's wife stepped out. "We can just go."
Qin He thought that was fine; as long as the Qin Yan Hou's wife was there, no one could erase her credit. Cui Shi, Zhu Shi, and He Shi arrived one after another. Worried about missing the timing for summoning, Qin He gritted her teeth and took out a teleportation array to activate it.
Cui Shi raised an eyebrow; this was really going all out.
Glancing at Qin He, she presumed Qin He was confident. Cui Shi took a deep breath; if Qin He succeeded in summoning rain, the Marquis Manor wouldn't have to spend a sum of cultivation resources.
The group arrived at the Marquis Manor's fertile fields in the blink of an eye. At this moment, the wind in the sky made the crops in the fields sway. It wasn't hot in the morning, but it wasn't very cool either. Qin He became even more confident; this was a sign of stifling heat before rain.
Previously, the Heir, Qin Yan, had already made arrangements and placed several water-system beast crystals. Qin He stood still in the field, took a deep breath, took out the summoning artifact, and began to summon.
In Jingcheng, dark clouds suddenly covered the sky early in the morning, and a strong wind blew things everywhere.
Who could sleep with this commotion? Everyone ran to the streets in confusion, looking up at the sky, gathering together to discuss this sudden weather. People had expectations and uncertainty.
"Is this going to rain?" someone asked uncertainly.
A shopkeeper said, "It looks like it."
The person next to him replied, "I hope it's not another scam where it doesn't rain."
Who knew? The crowd gathered more and more. People from noble families also came out of their homes, gathering together to observe the weather and the clouds. In the palace, the Great Yan Emperor brought his ministers to the outside of the hall.
The Great Yan Emperor looked up at the gathering dark clouds and said to the Minister of Revenue, "This time it looks like rain."
The Minister of Revenue had some joy in his eyes and nodded. "It doesn't look like just wind."
The Prime Minister immediately ordered, "Go and see the coverage area of the dark clouds."
"That's right, that's right..." The Great Yan Emperor pointed at the clouds rolling past in the sky. "Hurry and go see, and report back quickly."
The Imperial Guards received the order and activated the teleportation array to leave.
The Great Yan Emperor observed for a moment and couldn't sit still. He reached out his hand. "Bring the summoning artifact. I will summon it myself to reinforce this rain."
As long as one had a summoning artifact with rain drawn on it, a cultivator could summon rain. However, if the affinity wasn't enough, summoning would only waste the artifact and fail to bring rain.
The Great Yan Emperor's affinity was okay, mainly because he had good fortune.
As for the ministers, there was no need to mention them; they were all people who had passed the imperial examinations or came from noble families. They possessed the cultivation to summon, so assisting the Great Yan Emperor in summoning a medium-sized rain was no problem.
Eunuch Fu hurriedly took the summoning artifacts, bringing over a dozen that had rain drawn on them. The Great Yan Emperor personally summoned rain, and naturally, the ministers couldn't just stand by and watch, so a dozen of them were chosen to participate in summoning the rain.
Great Yan was so thirsty for rain that their throats were smoking. Seeing the overcast sky, they naturally wanted to keep it.
The Great Yan Emperor personally led the ministers to summon rain. The people on the streets cheered and jumped, watching with eager eyes as the strong wind blew the clouds, and dark clouds gathered in the sky in clusters.
The noise on the street was too loud, so Prince Rong sent people to investigate.
Prince Rong brought his advisors to watch Qin Bi summon the weather. Qin Yan looked at the pitch-black clouds gathering in the sky and always had a very familiar feeling. Did Qin Bi's summoning happen to coincide with a rainy day? Qin Yan didn't dare to think that Qin Bi had summoned it; the main reason was that the formation was too large.
Qin Lang blinked, thinking he hadn't provoked Qin Bi. Would his sister scam people again?!
The strong wind driving the clouds blew for half an hour, but it still didn't rain. Qin Lang felt it was mysterious. "Sister, can it rain?"
Qin Bi put away the summoning artifact. "It's unlikely."
The advisors: "..."
Qin Yan was startled. "Are you not summoning anymore?"
Qin Bi smiled lively. "I'll eat first and then talk."
How important was rain to Great Yan? Qin Yan said, "Summon first."
"Eat first," Qin Bi insisted, and gave a firm word: "This summoning won't bring rain. I'll summon again after I eat. Have you eaten? If not, go have breakfast."
Prince Rong spoke up, "Have breakfast first."
Qin Yan and Qin Lang had no choice but to follow for breakfast. After walking a few steps, Qin Yan looked up at the sky again. It didn't rain. Sigh, Qin Yan sighed, unable to understand why Qin Bi treated summoning like child's play.
After a while, the dark clouds dispersed.
The first strategist, Lin Yao, wanted to speak but stopped. In the end, he said nothing. Great Yan urgently needed rain. If the Princess could summon a rain, it would be best. This intermittent summoning—he didn't know if it was because of insufficient spiritual power or if it was intentional.
If it was intentional? That would be excessive; it was too imprudent.
In the fields of the Marquis Manor's farm, Qin He's summoning had wind at the beginning, but later there was no wind at all. Qin He was anxious in her heart, looking at the clouds in the sky, then looking again; the clouds were gradually brightening.
Cui Shi spoke up, "Qin He, if you can't summon heavy rain, a light rain is also fine."
Sweat gradually appeared on Qin He's forehead. "I consumed a lot of spiritual power summoning heavy rain just now. If I had known, I would have summoned a light rain. I shouldn't have been greedy; the clouds have all dispersed."
Cui Shi saw that the summoning had failed. "Stop summoning."
Qin He interrupted the summoning unwillingly. Qin Yan ran over. At this time, the sun had already come out. Qin Yan used a handkerchief to cover the dazzling sun and looked at the sky. "What should we do? Should we still summon?"
Everyone looked at the Qin Yan Hou's wife; the one in charge at the moment was the Marquis's wife.
Before the Qin Yan Hou's wife could speak, Qin He said, "Didn't Sister Qin Bi say she was going to summon? I've stopped summoning. What about the rain Sister Qin Bi summoned? I heard she was summoning at the Prince's manor."
She failed her summoning, and Qin Bi didn't succeed either. Qin He deliberately mentioned Qin Bi at this time.
The Qin Yan Hou's wife said to the guard, "Go to the Prince's manor and see if she has summoned yet."
The guard activated the small teleportation array and left. In the Rong Prince's manor, they had just finished breakfast.
Qin Yan saw the guard, and Qin Bi walked over. "Haven't summoned yet, just wait."
Qin Yan looked at Qin Bi in confusion, and Qin Lang also turned his head in surprise. It was clearly summoned! A strong wind was blowing, but it just wouldn't rain. That pitch-black sky was too scary; no one dared to be sure that it was summoned by Qin Bi.
Besides, even if it really rained, the sect's rain summoning didn't have such a formation.
Prince Rong went to see the children, and the advisors looked at each other.
The guard activated the teleportation array and left, returning to the Marquis Manor's fields to report.
"Haven't summoned yet?" The Qin Yan Hou's wife nodded.
Qin He immediately said, "I can continue to summon."
Cui Shi stared at Qin He, suspicious. "Are you sure your spiritual power can still summon?"
Qin He had a serious face and nodded affirmatively. "I can. For the sake of the people of Great Yan, if I can bring rain to all the fields, it doesn't matter if my spiritual power is exhausted, let alone summoning rain for our Marquis Manor. I will definitely go all out." ===== CHAPTER 196 =====
