Chapter 307

Xue Wang Fei stood up. Should she go herself? She was hesitant.

"Send someone." Xue Wang spoke. "Send a strategist. This way, one can ask clearly and also maintain proper decorum. If the spirit birds weren't teleported back by the Heir Consort, there won't be any loss of face."

Xue Wang Fei nodded, and Xue Wang sent a chubby, eloquent strategist to the Qin Yan Marquis Manor.

Once the person left, Xue Wang Fei had something to say: "In the Marquis Manor, Qin He is considered blessed. Everyone else can teleport spirit birds back, so how could Qin He come back empty-handed? Besides, among the team, only Qin He and our Xue Qing carry many magic treasures."

Large teleportation arrays aren't cheap. Can others take them out? Certainly not.

Xue Wang Fei defended Qin He like this also for Xue Qing's sake. Xue Wang still had concubine-born sons, not just Xue Qing. Heir Consort Qin He is a concubine's daughter of the Marquis Manor, and the only thing she can show off is her high fortune value.

"The Rong Wang Fu can also take out large teleportation arrays." Xue Wang reminded his wife.

"The Rong Heir married Qin Bi because he was cursed to have no wife and no children." Xue Wang Fei was dismissive and very disdainful. "Large teleportation arrays are used up one by one. Would the Rong Heir be willing to give so many large teleportation arrays?"

Xue Wang didn't speak; this would depend on what the Rong Heir thought.

If the fate of having no wife and no children was broken, and the Rong Heir didn't like Qin Bi, he could completely choose a noble daughter from a high-ranking family to be his Heir Consort. A concubine's daughter is, after all, inferior in status.

Thus, one must be cautious about giving magic treasures to the concubine's daughter of the fourth branch of the Qin Yan Marquis Manor.

Neither Xue Wang nor Xue Wang Fei believed that Qin Bi could make the Rong Heir protect her wholeheartedly.

The Xue Wang Fu strategist went to the Qin Yan Marquis Manor. When the Qin Yan Marquis heard that it was a strategist who came, not a servant, he walked to the front courtyard. The Qin Yan Marquis's wife thought for a moment and called Qin Qi and his wife to go along.

Qin Qi was puzzled and asked Cui Shi, "What is the Xue Wang Fu person here for?"

Cui Shi thought for a moment. "They probably think Qin He teleported things back."

Qin Qi frowned. "Since Qin He first went to the small space of the beast realm for training, she has never teleported anything back. Every time, she waits until the training ends to come back directly. When has she ever teleported anything back? How could the Xue Wang Fu think Qin He could teleport things back?"

Cui Shi was speechless, and Qin Qi stopped talking, following behind the Qin Yan Marquis's wife.

In the front courtyard of the Marquis Manor, the Qin Yan Marquis met the Xue Wang Fu strategist directly in the courtyard, mainly because there was no time to go to the living room to drink tea and talk in detail. Say what you have to say quickly; the entire Marquis Manor was busy.

They had no sense of timing, choosing to come at their busiest moment.

When the Xue Wang Fu strategist saw the Qin Yan Marquis, he bowed. "Marquis, I am ordered to ask how our Heir Consort and the Heir are doing in the small space of the beast realm, and if they have collected anything."

The Qin Yan Marquis heard the probing intent in these words, but it didn't sound uncomfortable. He said, "There hasn't been any movement from your Heir Consort and the Heir's team."

The strategist was stunned. What did he mean by no movement from the Heir Consort and the Heir's team? With things being teleported back batch after batch, it couldn't be that none of it belonged to their Heir and Heir Consort.

"This..." The strategist weighed his words. "The spirit birds teleported back today, weren't they teleported back by our Heir Consort and the Heir?"

After going around in circles for a long time, he still asked the question.

The Qin Yan Marquis and the others all looked at the strategist. The strategist hurriedly explained, "Our Heir Consort has always been blessed. If there are many spirit birds in the small space of the beast realm, the Heir Consort should be able to catch some too."

The Qin Yan Marquis had no expression. "Wait until Qin He and your Heir return to ask. We haven't been to the small space of the beast realm, so we aren't clear about the situation there."

The Qin Yan Marquis was very busy and left the matter to the second branch, Qin Qi and his wife, before leaving.

The Qin Yan Marquis's wife didn't feel it was necessary to say much more to the Xue Wang Fu strategist either. Once the Qin Yan Marquis and his wife left, Qin Qi said to the strategist, "The spirit birds teleported back by the fourth branch probably have nothing to do with Qin He."

"But..." the strategist said, "our Heir Consort's fortune value is not low; she shouldn't have no harvest."

Qin Qi and Cui Shi looked at each other. They knew best whether Qin He was blessed or not. She had fortune, and Qin He had obtained many good things from the Yan Guogong Manor, but if one said her fortune value was very high, that wasn't necessarily true.

But this couldn't be said. It was hard enough for the second branch to have a concubine's daughter marry well; even if they had to brag, they had to brag about Qin He being blessed. Otherwise, with a noble family like the Xue Wang Fu, Qin He's position as Heir Consort wouldn't be stable.

"The small space of the beast realm is full of dangers. It's already a blessing not to get injured." Cui Shi said. "Collecting things requires not only fortune but also good luck. One cannot demand too much."

Cui Shi's words left a way out for Qin He. It would be better if Qin He could collect things, but even if she didn't collect much, the Xue Wang Fu couldn't blame her. Who could guarantee a full harvest when going to the small space of the beast realm?

The strategist left, and Cui Shi sighed.

"Bang!" With a sound, Cui Shi and Qin Qi were stunned.

The guards were in a hurry to close the manor gate, children were climbing onto the walls, and the quacking spirit birds were panicked. The Qin Yan Marquis and Qin Tan directed the catching of the spirit bird ducks. Another group of spirit birds had been teleported back, which was truly surprising and unbelievable.

This time the teleportation array was small, and the spirit birds teleported back were few, but many had already been teleported back!

Added together, this was extraordinary.

At this time in the small space of the beast realm, it was approaching evening. Qin Yan, Qin Tang, and the others caught their breath. They were exhausted. The Marquis Manor's fortune carried by Qin Yan could bring good luck, but it wasn't as if you could just stand there and the spirit bird ducks would run according to your wishes.

Oh, you want to drive them to the teleportation array, and they all run over in a rush.

It wasn't that magical; everyone still had to cooperate to drive them. The spirit bird ducks were alive, and some would still run away. It was just that Qin Tang and the others still felt their luck was good enough; they could feel whether their fortune was good or not.

"Eldest cousin," Qin He contacted Qin Yan using her summoning artifact, suppressing her anger, "you cannot ignore us."

Everyone was sitting on the sand, listening to Qin He's message through the summoning artifact. No one paid attention to her. Qin He hadn't been idle all day today, constantly urging and urging, which was very annoying.

Qin Xun took out a bamboo joint, poured a cup of water, and handed it to Qin Bi, then poured water for the others.

Just after drinking a sip of water to quench their thirst, Qin He continued to contact Qin Yan, her tone anxious and impatient: "Eldest cousin, Qin Yan is injured. What are you doing? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Qin He's tone was truly not very good. Facing the ferocity of high-grade beasts, Qin He was angry that the third and fourth branches were snatching the Qin Heir. Everyone knew the value of high-grade beasts; they were too ignorant.

Qin Lang drank some water and said, "Eldest cousin, don't go."

How could Qin Yan dare to leave? The harvest here was too great. "I won't go."

As for Qin Yan being injured? Even if she were dead, Qin Yan couldn't leave. The number of spirit bird ducks caught this time was too large. Qin Yan was excited just thinking about the approximate number. It would be stupid if he left.
