Chapter 207

Yes, ever since she transmigrated, Qin He had indeed been as elegant as an orchid, with a grand character and a poised demeanor; in the Great Yan, she could be considered a talented woman. But these things were limited to when she was sailing smoothly.

Now that things weren't going smoothly, some of Qin He's petty schemes were beginning to surface.

In the past, all sorts of things and benefits would be delivered to Qin He's hands, so naturally, she didn't need to play mind games. Whenever others tried to compete, in Qin He's eyes, they were just oddballs or top-grade relatives.

Qin He would look upon them with disdain and despise them.

But now that no one was sending things to Qin He anymore, she could no longer refrain from competing or fighting.

Qin Bi naturally understood why Qin He was different, but Qin Yan and the others didn't. In the eyes of the brothers, if Qin Bi summoned a rain now, Qin He wouldn't go so far as to claim she had summoned it.

Qin He had exhausted her spiritual power to the point of vomiting blood and falling into a coma; whose farmland it rained on had nothing to do with her.

If someone else summoned rain and Qin He claimed she had summoned it, her behavior would be too unsightly.

"Is that so?"

Qin Bi smiled and didn't argue with Qin Yan, only saying: "I don't trust Qin He. To be safe, it's better to call the Lady of Su Yan Guogong. If it rains, it can be considered a free gift to the Lady of Su Yan Guogong; if it doesn't rain, the Lady of Su Yan Guogong won't lose anything."

Qin Bi didn't have a bad impression of the Lady of Su Yan Guogong; she was a mistress of the house with great bearing. Giving a free rain was fine; money couldn't buy being in someone's good graces. As long as it didn't hinder Qin Bi, anything was fine.

"What Lady of Su Yan Guogong? That's too formal."

Qin Yan took a small sip of tea and smiled: "You are my cousin, you should call her Aunt with me. Fine, when I return to the Marquis Manor later, I'll stop by the Su Yan Guogong Manor on the way. Do you need to prepare water-attribute beast crystals or anything? Last time Qin He summoned rain, I set up a few water-attribute beast crystals in the farmlands."

Qin Bi might not take summoning seriously, but Qin Yan, as the heir carefully cultivated by the Marquis Manor, took every rain summoning very seriously. Even if Qin He were the one summoning, Qin Yan wouldn't be perfunctory.

"I don't know."

Qin Bi couldn't offer any advice.

Qin Yan and Qin Tang exchanged a look. You see, who would believe Qin Bi could summon rain? She didn't know anything when asked, yet this heaven bullied those who understood, while those who didn't understand could summon a gale.

There were many benefits to being a new cultivator; you had to accept it.

It was well known that Qin He was blessed. No one mentioned it for Qin Bi, but in the eyes of Qin Yan and Qin Tang, this younger sister's blessings were not small either. Her fate in this life was to marry an heir of a powerful official; one could imagine her blessing value.

Qin Yan lowered his eyes; he would handle it!

"Sister."

Qin Lang was still uncertain; this child had been tricked too many times, and he asked: "Is it really going to rain this time? It's fine to fool our own family, but if we fool the Lady of Su Yan Guogong, she will be dissatisfied."

Qin Bi pondered, not giving a definitive answer, but said: "I will summon tomorrow. If Qin He runs over, then the rain won't be summoned. I have no reason to toil for nothing for others."

Qin Lang waved his hand: "Why would she go? She's in a coma."

"You also believe Qin He is in a coma?"

Qin Bi sneered: "When there are benefits to be had, she would crawl over even if she had to."

Qin Yan and the others felt Qin Bi was overthinking it. Considering they still had to summon rain tomorrow, they rose to take their leave. Qin Bi didn't move; Prince Rong and Rong Yang saw them to the manor gate.

By now, the sky was growing dark. Qin Yan went to his maternal grandfather's house.

The Su Yan Guogong heir, Su Yan, happened to be at home and came out of the room to greet Qin Yan: "Qin Yan, why did you come at this hour?"

Qin Yan explained his purpose. Su Yan was stunned and smiled: "I know your cousin Qin He has some skills, but the Princess Rong can also summon rain? I'm afraid she's just showing off, right?"

Thinking of the other concubine-born Princess in the Qin Yan Hou Fu, Su Yan laughed: "Your other cousin summoned beyond her ability and has already exhausted her spiritual power and vomited blood; I'm afraid she won't recover without two or three months of rest. Summoning also depends on the timing; tomorrow is another day with the scorching sun, not a good time to summon rain. You let your sister act recklessly, and if another one collapses, it won't look good for your Marquis Manor."

Acting beyond one's ability—no one wouldn't laugh at that.

Fortunately, Qin He had a good reputation for being concerned about the people of Great Yan. What did Qin Bi have? It was said she had summoned several times and never brought rain, and she even threw tantrums while summoning.

Su Yan's persuasion didn't move Qin Yan. He hesitated, not wanting to tell Su Yan that while Qin Bi hadn't summoned rain, that wind was truly fierce, and the dark clouds were so thick that no one wouldn't be fooled.

Su Yan wouldn't believe it even if he said it. Qin Yan kept him in suspense and said: "When our Marquis Manor summons rain tomorrow, we will irrigate your farmlands as well. Aunt won't lose out."

Su Yan pondered briefly and took Qin Yan to see the Lady of Su Yan Guogong.

When the Lady of Su Yan Guogong heard that the concubine-born daughter of the Qin Yan Hou Fu was going to summon again, she was surprised and smiled: "Qin He summoned without measure and vomited blood; can Qin Bi do it? Don't let her end up like Qin He."

Although she said that, the Lady of Su Yan Guogong still said: "Fine, I know. I will go over tomorrow."

Qin Yan had nothing to say about his cousin acting beyond her ability and vomiting blood from exhaustion. Fortunately, the Lady of Su Yan Guogong didn't mention it again. Qin Yan rose to take his leave, and the Su Yan Guogong heir, Su Yan, went to see him off.

The Lady of Su Yan Guogong mentioned this to the Su Yan Guogong. The Su Yan Guogong said: "This Princess is willful; don't let her throw a tantrum while summoning rain."

The Lady of Su Yan Guogong didn't care: "That farmland of mine on the manor is just an afterthought."

If it was an afterthought, she wouldn't get involved in the Marquis Manor's affairs, so the Su Yan Guogong stopped worrying.

Early the next morning, Qin Yan, Qin Tang, Qin Xun, and Qin Lang came to the Rong Wang Manor. Qin Bi had already finished breakfast. The chief strategist, Lin Yao, had been waiting anxiously for a long time, and Little Tuanzi Rong Yang and the little Imperial Prince Yan Xun were also waiting.

Qin Lang was stunned. Qin Tang asked: "Are we all going?"

Qin Bi explained: "First to the Prince's fief."

Qin Yan raised an eyebrow; she was quite busy. This meant she would summon rain for Prince Rong's fief first and then go to the Qin Yan Hou Fu's farmlands. That was fine; he would see how Qin Bi summoned rain.

If it didn't rain on the Prince's fief, there would be no need to go to the Marquis Manor.

Prince Rong held his young son and prepared to activate the teleportation array. Qin Bi said: "It will be a strong wind, and the temperature will drop. Do you want to take your precious treasure?"

Prince Rong: "......"

Prince Rong still couldn't bear to let his young son be blown by the wind, cold or hot; he was truly afraid he would melt if he put him in his mouth. He gave the teleportation array to the chief strategist, Lin Yao, and Prince Rong didn't go.

Lin Yao activated the teleportation array, and in the blink of an eye, everyone arrived at the Prince's fief.

As for preparations, there was no need. Qin Bi directly held a summoning artifact and summoned. With a wave of her hand, a sudden gale blew, and dark clouds rolled in, black and terrifying.

Qin Lang squinted as small grains of sand hit his face: "Oh my mother."

Lin Yao and the advisors looked at the sky, quickly trying to distinguish whether this was a trick or real rain. They had been fooled too many times; to believe it again would be foolish. Qin Yan, Qin Tang, and Qin Xun stared at the sky, and unexpectedly, a torrential rain poured down.
