Chapter 493: Qin He Wants to Soak Up Some Fortune

"We all agreed to go together," Qin Han said. "Why aren't you going anymore?"

Who could stop him? Qin Lang simply wasn't going! Qin Yan said, "Let's go. It's getting late. The Red Flame Festival is almost here. Before the festival, we must try our best to reclaim a plot of farmland."

Everyone set off for the Ministry of Revenue, then entered the great teleportation array to travel together to the Wilderness. This way, they could save on the teleportation array. The Qin Yan Marquis Manor had no foundation in cultivation, so they saved wherever possible.

Qin He felt she had lost face.

But if asked to provide the teleportation array herself, she was unwilling; she never did things that put her at a disadvantage.

In that case, the Qin Young Master would not indulge Qin He. Spending a huge amount of beast crystals to buy a medium-sized teleportation array just to go to the Wilderness was not worth it. Qin Yan thought it was a bad deal, and he didn't care that Qin He felt she had lost face.

Upon arriving in the Wilderness, Qin He only held the summoning artifact for the duration of a cup of tea. Since no rain or snow fell, she dared not summon again. If the system had left, she would have to conserve her use of the summoning artifact.

Qin He wandered around to watch Qin Yan and the others reclaiming the wasteland.

"It's good that Qin Lang didn't come," Qin Xun said to Qin Tang upon seeing Qin He wander. "Even if we aren't reclaiming farmland next to hers, who can stop her from wandering everywhere? If Qin Lang came to reclaim land, and Qin He kept wandering around the fields Qin Lang reclaimed, it would be unbearable."

She already hated her, and now she was wandering around like this; no wonder Qin Lang was annoyed.

Qin Tang asked in a low voice, "Is she trying to soak up good fortune?"

Yesterday, after Qin Xun and Qin Lang returned to the Marquis Manor, they went to find Qin Tang and talked for a while before leaving.

"I don't know," Qin Xun shook his head. "Logically, everyone is reclaiming farmland and should just focus on their own tasks. We aren't here to stroll around. The soil in the Wilderness is barren and full of hardpan; who has the leisure to wander everywhere?"

Qin He wandered everywhere and loved to steal credit. Qin Xun and Qin Tang couldn't help but overthink it.

If Qin He stayed in her own farmland and didn't wander, focusing on the vegetables she planted, Qin Tang and Qin Xun wouldn't overthink it. But with Qin He strolling around, they felt annoyed and became suspicious.

Qin He went to give Qin Han some guidance on summoning. Qin Han only summoned a tiny bit of rain, a drizzle no bigger than a tabletop, as if nothing had fallen at all. It would be difficult to reclaim a plot of farmland with that.

Jiang Mo did not have a summoning artifact, so Qin Han gave hers to Jiang Mo. This summoning artifact had been a gift from Qin He. When the He Young Master supported Qin He and her child, Qin He was truly wealthy and spent lavishly.

When Qin He stayed in her own farmland to tend the vegetables she had planted, Qin Tang and Qin Xun did not think much of it; but this aimless wandering of hers made Qin Tang and Qin Xun feel uneasy and aroused their suspicion.

Now that the He Young Master no longer supported Qin He and her child, several young ladies of the Marquis Manor complained: "It's a shame; he just stopped supporting them without warning. The He Young Master is truly heartless. Qin He gave so much to the He Young Master!"

Qin He was a person as pure and aloof as an orchid. When the He Young Master originally wanted to marry Qin He as a secondary wife, she reluctantly agreed. If not for her feelings for the He Young Master, she would never have humiliated herself by becoming a secondary wife.

Now that the He Young Master had a child, he simply stopped supporting Qin He and her child.

"I'll lend my summoning artifact; everyone try it," Qin He said with a smile when she saw Qin Han's summoning was ineffective. "I have good fortune. Perhaps one of you will catch a bit of my luck and summon heavier rain or snow. The little luck orbs of the Marquis Manor will also come to join the fun."

"You're really letting us use the summoning artifact?" a young daughter of the fifth branch, not yet of age, asked in disbelief. "I heard summoning artifacts are very expensive. I was planning to queue up later to wait for the one my eldest cousin brought."

Qin He handed over a summoning artifact she rarely used. "Feel free to use it."

She was so generous and approachable that the younger generation of the Marquis Manor immediately grew happy. They queued up to hold the summoning artifact and try, but unfortunately, only a young illegitimate son of the fifth branch managed to summon a tiny bit of rain and snow.

"Useless," Qin He muttered under her breath, not daring to be heard.

If someone had summoned rain or snow, it would have attracted the little luck orbs, allowing her to claim it as her own merit, her own fortune and luck. Instead, no one summoned anything effective.

After making a scene and gaining nothing, Qin He returned first, in a bad mood.

When they returned to the Marquis Manor, Qin Xun called Qin Lang to the Rong Prince Manor to tell Qin Bi about Qin He wandering everywhere today and lending her summoning artifact to everyone. Since Qin Bi and Rong Juan were happy after their visit to the Rong Prince Manor yesterday, Qin Xun and Qin Lang were willing to come again.

If the Rong Young Master was displeased, Qin Xun and Qin Lang would not come.

Qin Bi was happy, so the Rong Young Master would say nothing. Qin Bi's lifespan had just been restored after being damaged, and her mood was good, bringing peace to her spirit. Rong Juan cared most about Qin Bi's lifespan; he never stopped anyone who treated Qin Bi well.

"Did all the Marquis Manor's children try summoning?" Qin Bi asked with a hint of worry.

In her generation of the Marquis Manor, Qin Lang was not the only one with good fortune.

"No," Qin Xun said. "Some didn't want to owe favors, so they didn't use Qin He's summoning artifact."

Qin Bi exhaled a cloud of turbid air, stood up, and strolled leisurely around the room. "Qin He is cunning. If even one person summoned decent rain or snow, she would claim they caught a bit of her luck, meaning it was her fortune. No matter what, they would owe her a favor."

Qin Lang added, "Qin He has always been scheming."

"Yes," Qin Bi narrowed her eyes and snorted lightly. "Clever calculations. The fortune of the Qin Yan Marquis Manor is not clear; even people from the Immortal Sects cannot see through it. Perhaps there are people with great fortune and great luck here. Qin He is trying to soak up that fortune."

Qin Lang and Qin Xun both fell into thought. If someone had summoned something very effective today, Qin He would have shamelessly stolen the credit. With her high fortune value, no one would suspect it wasn't her luck.

Even if she didn't steal the credit, soaking up fortune was good; it would do Qin He no harm.

It was all wild speculation. Since the third and fourth branches disliked Qin He, everyone liked to overthink whatever she did. After speaking ill of Qin He for a while, Qin Xun and Qin Lang left.

In the following days, not a trace of spiritual energy remained in the Wilderness, making summoning extremely difficult.

The cultivators were puzzled: "The Wilderness lacks spiritual energy, but there is usually at least a little. Why is there not a single trace of spiritual energy during this period? Summoning has become very difficult."

Other cultivators shook their heads, not knowing what was happening.

Qin He followed the Marquis Manor's group to the Wilderness every day. She didn't summon, and the vegetable seedlings she planted all froze to death. Qin He didn't care; she was the Young Master's wife of the Xue Prince Manor, so why would she care about a few ordinary vegetable seedlings?

Qin He wandered around talking to people. After playing enough, she returned and took out her summoning artifact for everyone to use.

The Qin Young Master naturally wouldn't stop her. Summoning artifacts were expensive, and many of the Marquis Manor's children did not have one. Qin He was willing to lend her summoning artifact for everyone to practice with.

Qin He followed the Hou Fu caravan to the barbarian lands every day. She did not summon, and the seedlings she planted froze to death. Qin He felt no regret; as the Wang Fu He Shizi's wife, how could she care about a few ordinary seedlings?

Qin He wandered about chatting with people. Once she had played her fill and returned, Qin He brought out the summoning magic treasures for everyone to use.

The Wang He Shizi naturally did not stop her. Summoning magic treasures were expensive, and many Hou Fu children did not possess one. Qin He was willing to let everyone use them so they could all practice.
