Chapter 79 Qin Chuan is ultimately not fit for the table.
Butler Qin paused, his face immediately darkening.
Threat!
That's a threat.
Does someone who wasn't accepted by the Qin family think he's really the young master of the Qin family now that he's come back?
The Qin family is a martial arts family, and as the Qin family's steward, the Qin family's strength is naturally not bad. If this were anywhere else, he would have taught Qin Chuan a lesson long ago.
He knew very well that this was the Qin family's residence, and if he were to make a move here, he would be breaking the rules.
Because no matter the reason for taking action against the Qin family, the old man will definitely be furious.
"You should be glad you're in the Qin family."
After saying this, Butler Qin left immediately.
Qin Chuan, however, remained expressionless, looking at Butler Qin with the same gaze he would give a dead man.
As for the storage room, it didn't matter to Qin Chuan where he lived; he had lived in worse conditions in the cultivation world before.
"Have you heard? It seems Qin Chuan is living in the storage room now."
"Wow, really? They're even living in the storeroom just to stay in the Qin family?"
"Looks like they really are coming to our Qin family to curry favor."
"..."
The news that Qin Chuan lived in the storage room spread quickly, and everyone in the Qin family, including the servants, was talking about it, their disdain for Qin Chuan growing stronger.
Qin Lin frowned: "That shouldn't be the case. No matter what, they have Qin family blood flowing through their veins. How could they be placed in the storage room?"
"Who cares!" Qin Sheng snorted.
Butler Qin sneered repeatedly: "This is simply his own fault."
He had thought Qin Chuan would put up a fight, though it would be useless. But to the Qin steward's surprise, Qin Chuan didn't react at all and obediently settled down in the storage room.
He even asked me how to write the character for "death".
That's it?
Butler Qin gave a disdainful laugh.
Qin Lan rushed over immediately after learning that her brother was living in the storage room.
"Brother, why did the Qin family arrange a storage room for you?" Qin Lan was very angry.
"It's alright." Qin Chuan waved his hand. "It doesn't matter to me where I live."
"I'll go tell Grandpa right now," Qin Lan said angrily.
"Lanlan, no need."
Qin Chuan shook his head: "If our grandfather wanted to, he wouldn't need you to inform him at all."
"But we can't just let you live in the storage room like this!" Tears welled up in Qin Lan's beautiful eyes. "Brother, how about we leave the Qin family?"
Qin Chuan rubbed his younger sister's head: "Let's talk about it after the annual meeting. I'm curious to see what the Qin family is up to."
Just as Qin Chuan said, the fact that he lived in the storage room had already reached Qin De's ears.
"What, my grandson didn't resist at all?" Qin De asked indifferently.
"Dad, he didn't resist." Qin Chengwen shook his head.
"Heh!" Qin De sneered. "I thought he came to the Qin family prepared this time, and would at least try to gain some benefits. I didn't expect him to be such a coward and a good-for-nothing. It seems I was overthinking it."
"If he had tried to steal or fight for it, I would have been happy. But he turned out to be a good-for-nothing..."
As Qin De finished speaking, his face was filled with disappointment. He thought that he was better off without such a spineless grandson.
"Dad, he's not a martial artist after all, and he's from that godforsaken place of Jinling. He'd probably be terrified to come to the capital. How could he dare to fight or snatch anything?" Qin Chengwen's words were full of disdain.
Qin De was initially unhappy that Qin Chuan agreed to stay in the Qin family, since it meant that there would be one more person to share resources and one more person to compete for the position of family head in the future.
But now it seems he was overthinking things.
Qin Chuan... in the end, he was still not up to par.
"I really don't know how I taught my second brother, he turned out like this." Qin Chengwu looked extremely disappointed.
Qin Chuan, who is currently the subject of discussion throughout the Qin family, is sitting cross-legged, attempting to break through to the Divine Sea Realm.
Unseen spiritual energy flowed in from all directions and poured into Qin Chuan's body. This spiritual energy came not only from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but also from the cultivation resources of the Qin family.
All these cultivation resources were locked in the Qin family's vault, which contained many medicinal herbs, elixirs, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and even magical artifacts that were over a thousand years old.
But these things were fading at a visible speed. The verdant herbs slowly lost their original color and turned into spiritual energy that flowed into Qin Chuan's body.
Unbeknownst to them, many items in the vault were fading.
The Qin family also underwent changes, and the air seemed to tremble violently.
Qin De was the first to notice, and his expression changed slightly: "What happened?"
"It seems like some terrifying being is about to appear!" Qin Chengwen's expression changed slightly.
The Qin family had been discussing Qin Chuan, but the discussion eventually turned to this, because an extremely terrifying power seemed to permeate the air.
Even Qin De was terrified by this power. He was quite certain that some mysterious expert was breaking through or cultivating some kind of technique.
"Father, should we investigate?" Qin Chengwen asked anxiously.
"No, let's wait and see," Qin De said solemnly.
As usual, Butler Qin went to fetch some cultivation resources for a certain young master today. These resources are allocated every month, including financial ones.
He was Qin De's most trusted steward. He had grown up in the Qin family since childhood, so he was worthy of complete trust. Qin De also considered himself a member of the Qin family, so he had the key to the Qin family's treasury.
But when he opened the vault and entered, he was completely dumbfounded.
News of the vault quickly reached Qin De, who rushed there with his two sons. Upon seeing that many of the medicinal herbs, antique paintings, calligraphy, and ritual implements in the vault had faded, his expression changed drastically.
"How could this happen?" Qin Chengwen and Qin Chengwu exclaimed in surprise.
Qin De's face was grim. This vault was the foundation of the Qin family's wealth. Although it hadn't completely faded, this was still a devastating loss.
"Investigate! Investigate for me!"
When the very foundation of the Qin family is shaken, Qin De will certainly not let it go.
Even if it offends that powerful figure, we must investigate to the end!
Little did the Qin family know that Qin Chuan, whom they looked down upon, was frantically absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy. The reason he was willing to stay in this storage room was because there were usually few people here, so even if something unusual happened during his breakthrough to the Divine Sea, no one would notice.
One day later.
Qin Chuan opened his eyes and sighed with a hint of helplessness. He had almost broken through to the Divine Sea realm, but it was still because of insufficient spiritual energy. He had absorbed all the resources of the Qin family, but it was still not enough.
"It seems we have to find other methods." Qin Chuan murmured.
at the same time.
Southern Xinjiang.
At the foot of a mountain.
"Brother, do the Old Man of Yinshan and Huyan Jue really live on this mountain?" a younger man asked curiously.
Beside him stood a slightly older, middle-aged man, his expression mature and composed: "There's no mistake. When has our Xiao family's intelligence ever been wrong?"
"This mountain looks really eerie." The young man looked at the mountain peak and couldn't help but shiver.
The middle-aged man said with a rather serious expression, "Because this place is called Yinshan!"
