Chapter 86: Qin Bi Is Very Pleasantly Surprised
Qin Bi glanced at Qin He indifferently, her gaze filled with disdain.
Qin He was annoyed in her heart. Since she transmigrated, no one had ever looked at her with such disdain. In Jingcheng, who didn't flatter her with good words when they saw her? The noble ladies were even her close friends.
Qin Bi was just a daughter of a concubine from the fourth branch, a true daughter of a concubine, yet she dared to look at her with such eyes.
"Going too far?" Qin Bi was neither happy nor angry, indifferent and disdainful, "I know this maid of yours. She once pointed a sword at me. There's nothing wrong with being loyal to one's master, but she shouldn't have come to jump around in front of me."
Qin Bi originally wanted to say that this maid was He Yan's subordinate, but forget it; mentioning it would make it seem like she was still thinking about He Yan.
"That was disrespect to our Heir Apparent Consort," the maid who was a cultivator spoke up.
The ladies in the manor were surprised. This maid was given to Qin He by He Yan. The Marchioness of Qin Yan and Lady He both knew, and Lady Cui of the second branch also knew. The Marchioness of Qin Yan and Lady Cui didn't know that this maid had once pointed a sword at Qin Bi.
Lady He knew; Qin Bi had cried and complained to her after returning from the Yan Guogong Manor.
At that time, Qin Bi had wanted to break off the engagement.
The Marchioness of Qin Yan's eyes flashed. Qin He actually had such a maid beside her. Was it Qin He's indulgence, or the maid's own idea? In her opinion, Qin He had tacitly approved.
Others had complex expressions. Some felt that Qin Bi being petty with Qin He was just not thinking straight. She was just a daughter of a concubine from the fourth branch and had no ability; what could she use to compare with Qin He, who was a disciple of the Immortal Sect?
Even if Qin He didn't have a spiritual root, she was a little rich woman; Qin Bi couldn't compare.
So what if Qin Bi was the Rong Heir Apparent Consort? Qin He also had a good relationship with Heir Apparent Rong. Heir Apparent Rong didn't marry Qin Bi because he liked her; it was just that Heir Apparent Rong had promised the position of legitimate wife to the fourth branch early on.
The unmarried ladies had different thoughts, and the few married sisters couldn't help but sigh. Qin He had gone too far, but thinking this way in their hearts, no one expressed it on the surface. If they had to choose, they would choose to associate with Qin He.
Qin Yan, the Heir Apparent of the Qin Yan Hou Manor, heard the news and rushed over, followed by Qin Xun and Qin Jue.
"You, a maid, have no sense at all." Qin Yan entered the warm pavilion and probably understood the situation. He said unhappily to the maid who was a cultivator, "Shut up and get down."
The maid had plenty of confidence; she was assigned to the Xue Heir Apparent Consort by the Heir Apparent, so she naturally prioritized the Heir Apparent Consort.
Besides, the maid knew very well that Qin He's status in the manor was higher than Qin Bi's. She condensed spiritual power and looked at Qin Bi with caution, complaining to Qin Yan, "She showed disrespect to our Heir Apparent Consort and little Junzhu; she must apologize."
With the maid's attitude, Qin He's guards also flashed out, among whom were He Yan's people and Xue Qing's people.
The Rong Wang Manor's guards also entered the warm pavilion, and the two sides were at daggers drawn. Qin Bi finally had emotions on her face, and anger burned in her heart. Back then, this maid had pointed a sword at her, which was to force her to apologize.
It was only when the Yan Guogong's wife went to He Yan's courtyard that the maid stopped.
At that time, she was just a daughter of a concubine from the fourth branch, and the fourth branch wasn't as wealthy as the second branch. Qin Bi couldn't afford to fight, so she could only make a scene to break off the engagement. But the other party was the Yan Guogong Manor, a first-rank hereditary title; her marriage with He Yan wasn't up to her.
Qin Bi stood up and asked the maid, "Do you still think this is the past?"
Qin Bi's tone was contemptuous, her eyes disdainful, looking at the maid like an ant.
The maid was angry. In her eyes, she still thought Qin Bi was He Yan's fiancée. She was protecting Qin He, but she forgot that Qin Bi was now the Rong Heir Apparent Consort. Even if she hadn't forgotten, she was Heir Apparent He's subordinate.
"Showing disrespect to our little Junzhu is looking down on the Yan Guogong Manor." The maid mobilized her spiritual power to attack.
The Rong Wang Manor's guards protected Qin Bi and unleashed spiritual power, and Qin He's guards also unleashed spiritual power. The ladies ran to the Marchioness of Qin Yan in a panic. Heir Apparent Qin Yan glanced coldly at the maid and joined Qin Jue and Qin Xun to block them.
Just as the spiritual power of the cultivators on both sides was unleashed, Qin Bi flicked her sleeve, and a burst of fighting spirit was flung out from her robe. The fighting spirit pushed aside Qin Yan and the others, and a burst of fighting spirit swept Qin He's guards and maid away.
Taking the brunt of it, the maid fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
Qin Bi looked coldly; she had anger toward this maid and would be happy if her spiritual root were destroyed.
This maid was a Green-Tier First-Stage martial cultivator. Cultivators below the Green-Tier were no match for her. Over the years, following Qin He, her cultivation had improved quite a bit, but today she was vulnerable.
All of this happened too fast, and everyone in the warm pavilion was at a loss.
The Rong Wang Manor's guards were also stunned. They could have handled it, so why did the Heir Apparent Consort take action herself? Besides, the Heir Apparent Consort had only just entered the path of cultivation, but the fighting spirit value she had just unleashed was extremely domineering.
Was the fighting spirit value of someone who had just entered the path like this??!!!
Qin Yan and the others were full of suspicion. The Xue Wang Manor's guards helped the fallen maid up. Qin He was both surprised and angry, unable to come back to her senses for a while. Several of the people beside her were given by He Yan; how could they be so vulnerable?
A Green-Tier cultivator was already very powerful. Qin He stared at Qin Bi, her eyes filled with appraisal.
"Alright, guards, stand down." Qin Yan's face darkened. This was the Qin Yan Hou Manor, and his own sisters were making a scene in front of him, "Qin He, restrain your people."
"My people suffered a loss." Qin He was indignant.
Qin Yan looked at Qin He, "Your maid doesn't follow the rules. In the Qin Yan Hou Manor, is a maid allowed to touch the young masters and young ladies? Giving her a lesson is good, so she doesn't lose her sense of propriety."
It was unknown whether these words were for the maid or for Qin He; in any case, Qin He had always lacked a sense of propriety.
Qin He's younger sister from the main branch jumped out, "Sister Qin Bi took action, but Sister Qin He didn't."
Qin Yan ignored his cousin from the second branch and said to Qin Bi, "Come with me."
The ladies looked at each other. Some sisters were gloating, thinking that Heir Apparent Eldest Brother would definitely lecture Qin Bi. The Marchioness of Qin Yan, however, knew that wasn't the case. Qin Bi followed, and Qin Xun also followed.
Qin Lang was bringing the child to play in the courtyard, and seeing this, he picked up Rong Yang and followed.
Arriving at the Heir Apparent's courtyard, Qin Yan said to Qin Bi, "Try hitting me with your fighting spirit value."
Qin Bi: "......"
Qin Bi didn't move, and Qin Yan and Qin Xun looked at her suspiciously.
Qin Bi was both angry and amused. She knew her Eldest Cousin was puzzled about how the guards used spiritual power, but how the fighting spirit value attack worked. She had taken action herself, but the Heir Apparent Eldest Cousin didn't believe it.
"I'm afraid I'll hit you and cause problems." Qin Bi explained after a long while.
In the Beast Realm's small space, Qin Bi had discovered that her fighting spirit value was powerful. This had little to do with cultivation. Of course, the higher the cultivation, the more powerful the fighting spirit, but fighting spirit value, like blessing value, was innate.
Qin Yan was startled. Qin Bi simply let Qin Yan witness it. She flicked her sleeve, and borrowing the fighting spirit value that had been provoked just now, Qin Bi brushed her hand through the air, and flowers and grass immediately grew from the soil beside her.
Was it a pleasant surprise? Was it unexpected? Anyway, Qin Bi was very pleasantly surprised.
She felt she could do it. *Hey*, she really could.
Qin Yan, Qin Lang, and Qin Xun's eyes widened, looking at the flowers and grass that had grown in an instant in astonishment, and even Rong Yang's eyes were rounded.
