Chapter 566: The Great Yan Emperor's Max-Level Luck Value
Minister of War: "......"
The Minister of War had entered the palace today but turned back home; on the way, Rong He Shizi rode past on horseback and tossed him a packet of spirit melon seeds. When had Rong He Shizi returned to his old ways of extravagance?
The Minister of War walked leisurely, strolling as if in a garden, received a packet of spirit melon seeds, and was left bewildered by the wind.
The Great Yan Emperor's max-level luck value truly lives up to its name; he entered the palace once during the Red Flame Festival, and good heavens, spirit melon seeds fell from the sky! The Minister of War accepted them without hesitation.
"This is so embarrassing," the Minister of War said.
Rong He Shizi rode on horseback, holding Rong Yang, while the little one sat in the carriage being held by Qin Bi. Qin Lang and Qin Xun accompanied them to escort Qin Bi back to the residence, both glancing sideways at the Minister of War. Qin Lang's gaze fell upon the Minister of War's sleeve.
The Minister of War had tucked the spirit melon seeds into his sleeve.
"The children can't finish them," Rong He Shizi said from above. "I'm giving them to the Minister, my lord."
Did the Minister of War believe him? Nonsense. Can't finish them? Don't think he doesn't know how much the two young Rong Shizis love spirit melon seeds. Can't finish them? It's more likely they can't get enough.
"Can't finish them," Rong Yang added.
The Minister of War: "...... I'll save them for the young prince."
"The young prince doesn't eat them," Rong He Shizi said. "Minister, you eat them. If the young prince wants spirit melon seeds, he can come to my Rong Fu; will he lack them? The spirit melon seeds given by Xue He Shizi, my children don't like."
Oh, the Minister of War understood; Rong He Shizi didn't care for things from Xue Wang Fu.
It wasn't that they couldn't finish them; it was purely that he didn't care for them.
The Minister of War felt relieved. Suddenly receiving a packet of spirit melon seeds on the street without asking made him uneasy; Rong He Shizi wouldn't go crazy and reject the spirit melon seeds his children loved.
That made sense regarding Xue He Shizi's gift; Rong Rong Shizifei and Xue Rong Shizifei were at odds.
This Xue He Shizi was also an idiot; if he had spirit melon seeds, he should eat them himself. Why give them to Rong He Shizi? He doesn't care for them. And Rong He Shizi, why not take them? Xue Rong Shizifei has max-level luck value; eating the spirit melon seeds from her house might bring good fortune.
Just thinking about it; the Minister of War didn't expect to benefit from Qin He's max-level luck value. Some luck doesn't bring fortune all the time; it must be activated to bring fortune.
Xue Rong Shizifei's max-level luck value isn't visible in daily life.
Benefit from her? Can't count on it.
The Minister of War and Rong He Shizi's family procession parted ways. He wandered back to his residence, grabbed a handful of spirit melon seeds to eat. Since they were free, it didn't count as extravagance; just eating for fun.
Xue He Shizi and Qin He departed a bit later, so they received a message from the Immortal Sect while still at the Marquis Fu.
Qin He read it and was very pleased, telling everyone: "The Immortal Sect is distributing gifts to disciples. It should be elixirs or something similar. Last year, the Immortal Sect gave ten mid-grade Spirit Consolidation Pills."
"That's wonderful," Qin Yuan clapped her hands.
Qin Yan Hou and others were also very happy. Spirit Consolidation Pills were excellent items, rare treasures from the Immortal Sect. Qin He had also said she would give two Spirit Consolidation Pills to Qin Yan Hou Fu, and everyone was excited, rushing over to congratulate Qin He's family.
Qin Han pulled Qin He, sisters deeply bonded: "Qin He, you must give me one. Your nephew hasn't awakened his spiritual root yet; his aptitude is low, he needs a high-grade Spirit Consolidation Pill."
"I'm not Qin Bi," Qin He slapped Qin Han's hand. "Here, one Spirit Consolidation Pill for you."
Qin Han was immediately very happy and eagerly helped Fubao onto the carriage. With maids and nannies present, Qin Han's assistance wasn't needed, but she was overly enthusiastic, all for the one Spirit Consolidation Pill Qin He had promised.
The Rong Shizifei was also attending to them on the side, valuing Qin He even more.
In the entire Qin Yan Hou Fu, only Qin He was a disciple of the Immortal Sect. Because of this identity as an Immortal Sect disciple, Qin Yan Hou was generally more lenient with Qin He. After all, the Marquis Fu had just become a cultivation family, and some resources didn't exist in the mortal world.
Qin He boarded the carriage, looking at the people of the Marquis Fu, feeling proud in her heart.
Xue He Shizi rode on horseback, with the carriage behind. Qin He called out to the system: "Did I get my luck back?"
System: Host, interacting more with the Fourth Branch won't harm you.
Qin He was furious: "The Fourth Branch stole my luck, didn't they?"
Otherwise, there was no reason why her luck wouldn't be terrible if she interacted more with the Fourth Branch. Previously, she, Qin He, had always had smooth sailing, until Qin Bi and He He Shizi got married, when He He Shizi wanted to marry her as a secondary wife.
From that point on, her good luck changed somewhat.
"It must be because He He Shizi wanted to marry me as a secondary wife," Qin He thought, telling the system: "Qin Bi is the primary wife, the Rong Shizifei of Yan Guogong Fu; she suppressed my luck back then."
System: Yes.
Qin He could say whatever she wanted; otherwise, she wouldn't shamelessly entangle herself with the Fourth Branch. The system had been bound to the host for so many years and understood Qin He's character very well.
Qin He lowered her head, conversing with the system in her heart. The system said yes, and Qin He hated it. She knew how much the Fourth Branch disliked her, and the pride of a cultivation female protagonist wouldn't allow her to deal with them.
But thinking that her luck had been siphoned by Qin Bi made Qin He seethe with anger; she couldn't suffer this loss.
Her luck, why should it benefit Qin Bi? Seeing Qin Bi shine as Rong Rong Shizifei, cared for by Rong He Shizi, made Qin He hate her to death. It was all because she was riding on Qin He's coattails.
Fubao sat in the carriage, tilting her head to look at Qin He, not making a fuss.
Fubao knew her mother had a magic treasure, also called a Golden Finger. Qin He was conversing with the treasure in her heart. Although Fubao was usually mischievous, she knew what was important. Thinking about the gifts from the Immortal Sect made Fubao happy.
In previous years, the Immortal Sect also sent delicious spirit fruits.
Fubao couldn't wait to get home. Qin He ended her conversation with the system, also feeling eager to return to the residence. When their group arrived at Xue Wang Fu, the people from the Immortal Sect had just delivered the gifts.
Several disciples from the Immortal Sect delivered them and handed the gifts to Qin He.
"Senior brothers, please rest a bit before leaving," Qin He bowed.
The Immortal Sect senior brother waved his hand: "We have other houses to visit; we won't sit."
As soon as the people from the Immortal Sect left, Qin He and Fubao eagerly opened the gift package. However, it was only some spirit plants and other materials for refining Spirit Consolidation Pills, completely different from what Qin He had imagined.
Qin He was greatly disappointed, and Fubao pouted.
"No Spirit Consolidation Pills?" Xue He Shizi poked his head in for a look.
Qin He was depressed: "We have to refine the pills ourselves."
Xue He Shizi frowned. Qin He had made such a big promise; this would be hard to explain.
There was no other way. Since the Immortal Sect didn't give Spirit Consolidation Pills, Qin He couldn't give any to the Marquis Fu or Qin Han. Xue He Shizi had to send someone to inform the Marquis Fu, and also Qin Han, not to expect any; the Immortal Sect didn't give Spirit Consolidation Pills.
Qin Han received the news and immediately went to Xue Wang Fu in a panic.
"Qin He, what's going on?" Qin Han asked. "The Immortal Sect didn't give Spirit Consolidation Pills?"
"No," Qin He took out the gifts to show Qin Han. "They only gave materials for refining Spirit Consolidation Pills."
Qin Han stared silently, saying nothing.
