Chapter 568: Waiting for the Rong He Shizi

The He Shi's fate was envied by both the Jiang Shi and the Lin Shi.

They even found themselves unable to let go, thinking of arranging more concubines for their husbands; with so many children born, surely one would be a concubine daughter soft-hearted and affectionate. As long as one concubine daughter like Qin Bi appeared, that would be enough.

The Jiang Shi and the Lin Shi exchanged a glance, their thoughts perfectly aligned.

If the He Shi had cultivation base and dared to go all out by arranging more concubines for her husband, and one generation produced a Qin Bi, then surely the next generation of Qin Su's line could produce another concubine daughter like Qin Bi.

The Jiang Shi and the Lin Shi secretly compared themselves with the He Shi and felt their own fate was no worse than hers.

The He Shi had a concubine daughter like Qin Bi who constantly thought of her; how could their own fates be so terrible?????

"Mother does not have a Ningling Pill," the Lin Shi said, lowering her head and thinking for a moment.

The two sisters-in-law stared enviously at the He Shi every day, so they likely knew what treasures the He Shi held; the Lin Shi figured Qin Bi probably hadn't given the He Shi any Ningling Pills.

Qin Bi had only just begun cultivating; she herself might not even have any spare Ningling Pills.

"Good that she doesn't," the Jiang Shi explained. "It's not that I can't bear to see Qin Han do well, but if Qin Bi gave it to Mother and Mother immediately passed it to Qin Han, that would be truly inappropriate, even for Jiang Ren's child."

In noble families, it is cultivators with high talent who uphold the clan.

Naturally, having many cultivator descendants is good, but there is a rift between Qin Han and Qin Bi; neither has shown they don't mind, both care deeply, and because of this, Qin Bi tries her best to avoid dealings with the Jiang Fu.

Qin Han, however, is acting just like Qin He.

If the relationship is bad, you should know it in your heart; some things require restored harmony before they can be accepted, yet Qin Han clearly has no such thought, and neither does Qin He; when Qin Bi ignores them, they insist on approaching.

Some things can only be accepted after reconciliation.

"Keep a close watch," the Jiang Shi instructed the Lin Shi. "Perhaps Mother has Ningling Pills; do not give them to Qin Han."

The Lin Shi nodded; it would be bad if Qin Bi felt cold-hearted. Besides, Qin Bi cannot afford to get angry, so the Fourth House is very careful, treating her like a child to coax her; if she becomes so upset that her mind loses control again, it would be troublesome.

The Jiang Shi and the Lin Shi were mistaken; Qin Han had gone to find Qin Di and Qin Tan.

In the study, Qin Tan and Qin Di were preparing to go to the small space in the Demon Beast Realm in the second month. When Qin Han stepped into the study, Qin Di knew she had something to ask him, so he put down his summoning artifact.

Qin Di asked, "Qin Han, what is it?"

"Father," Qin Han asked, "do you have a Ningling Pill? Qin He promised the Immortal Sect she would give me one if she received a Ningling Pill, but the Immortal Sect only provided the materials for refining a Ningling Pill, not the pill itself."

Qin Di frowned; his grandson had not yet awakened his spiritual root, so he indeed needed a Ningling Pill.

"I don't have one," Qin Di said.

Qin Han turned to Qin Tan: "Does Third Uncle have a Ningling Pill?"

It was not a bad thing to be so direct, but Qin Tan said, "No. Your eldest uncle, Marquis Qin Yan, might not even have a single Ningling Pill. Perhaps Qin Yan might have one."

Qin Han, worried, left the study to find Qin Yan.

Qin Yan said, "I don't have one."

Qin Han didn't believe him, but she couldn't question him, so she returned to Qin Tan's study.

Qin Han's face looked bad: "Cousin doesn't have a Ningling Pill either."

Qin Han wouldn't leave, acting as if she expected Qin Tan and Qin Di to help find a solution. Qin Tan sat in his chair and thought; he didn't feel annoyed, as it was a good thing for his grandson to cultivate.

The brothers Qin Tan and Qin Di had a close relationship, so naturally Qin Tan worried about Qin Di's branch of the family.

"You still have to find Qin He," Qin Tan said. "Your relationship is good, and Qin He is a disciple of the Immortal Sect who can refine pills. With the ready-made materials for refining a Ningling Pill, ask Qin He to refine one for you."

Qin Han had no other option; since Qin Tan had offered a plan, she left.

The next day, Qin He came to the Qin Yan Hou Fu again. Qin Han and others who were close to Qin He were all in the front courtyard hall, chatting and drinking tea with Qin He, discussing preparations for collecting items in the small space of the Demon Beast Realm.

Qin Han was not foolish; she wouldn't ask for a Ningling Pill immediately upon arrival.

During casual conversation, Qin Han finally said, "Qin He, you have materials to refine a Ningling Pill. Why not refine one? I have searched everywhere for a Ningling Pill but found nothing; I am just hoping you can refine one."

Qin He's smile faded slightly: "This... I need to prepare for the trip to the small space in the Demon Beast Realm; I have no time to refine pills."

Her pill-refining ability relied entirely on the golden finger given by the system; she couldn't just refine pills whenever she wanted. If she could simply decide to refine a Ningling Pill and do so, she would have already gone to the Immortal Sect and amazed its geniuses.

Qin He would not tell Qin Han this; everyone assumed she could refine pills, which was preferable.

"Qin He," Qin Han said, "consider it helping me with a favor."

Since Qin Han had spoken like that, Qin Yan and the others all looked at Qin He.

Qin He sighed: "Sigh, let's talk about it after I return from the small space in the Demon Beast Realm."

Qin He had finally agreed, so Qin Han didn't dare to urge her. Deep down, Qin Han hoped Qin He would immediately take pill refining seriously and return to the Xue Wang Fu to refine a Ningling Pill for her.

Qin He clearly had no such intention, so Qin Han asked, "When will you go to the small space in the Demon Beast Realm?"

Qin He hadn't decided yet; she needed to find the Rong He Shizi one last time to decide whether to go to the small space in the Demon Beast Realm. Qin He couldn't believe the Rong He Shizi, who had always been obedient to her, had suddenly lost all feelings for her.

Qin He lowered her head; going to the Yan Guogong Fu to find the Rong He Shizi? No, that would make her look like she was obsessively entangled.

She was a proper female protagonist of cultivation; how could she go chasing after someone?

Qin He was worried sick. Previously, the Rong He Shizi often came to the Qin Yan Hou Fu, but now that she wanted to find him, he no longer came to the Qin Yan Hou Fu. She desperately needed high-grade Demon Beast Crystals, didn't she?

If the Rong He Shizi saw her, perhaps he would remember sending her cultivation resources.

Qin He went to the Qin Yan Hou Fu for several days in a row. Qin Bi was puzzled; Qin He had the system as a golden finger, so Qin Bi dared not let her guard down. It would be best to destroy Qin He's system.

However, that was unlikely. This system golden finger was the standard equipment for a transmigrator woman, permitted by the Heavenly Dao.

With the Heavenly Dao in place, it was hard to destroy. Just wait; sooner or later, she would destroy it.

Qin Bi was also idle; where else could she watch the child? After the Red Flame Festival, the Rong He Shizi would attend court. Qin Bi and the Little Imperial Prince watched the child, and sometimes the Rong He Shizi even brought Rong Chi to court.

Today, the child did not accompany him to court; he didn't like going.

Compared to Rong You, the little milk bun loved to play and was impatient with court sessions.

Qin Bi picked up Rong Chi and said to the Little Imperial Prince, "Let's go to the Qin Yan Hou Fu."

The Little Imperial Prince took the child's things, along with food and drink, and followed Qin Bi to the Qin Yan Hou Fu. Upon arriving at the Marquis Manor, Qin He saw Qin Bi and walked out from the hall to greet her.

"Sister Qin Bi has arrived," Qin He said with a smile.

Qin Bi glanced at her: "Who are you waiting for?"

Qin He's smile froze: "I'm not waiting for anyone."

Qin Bi took the child to the Fourth House. She had just arrived at Qin Yan Marquis Fu when Prince He He Shizi and Prince Qin He Shizi returned together; Qin He rose excitedly from her chair and went over to speak.

Hearing this in the Fourth House, Qin Bi was furious: "I should not have come to the Marquis Fu."
