Chapter 2412 2386 I Am Willing to Go (Five More
Chapter 2412: Chapter 2386: I Am Willing to Go! (Five More Updates) Chapter 2412: Chapter 2386: I Am Willing to Go! (Five More Updates) “So it seems!”
“The Cang Gu Sect, we still need to find someone prominent to ask, right?”
Ye Chen hesitated a bit, not willing to expose his identity yet, but he had no connections here, so how could he inquire?
“Master, I do know someone who knows the whereabouts of the Cang Gu Sect.”
Qin Aotian seemed to see Ye Chen’s reticence, hesitated for a moment, then said, “My father is the head of the Qin family in this city, a person of such status, even within the city, is well-known, surely he can know the whereabouts of the Cang Gu Sect.”
“However.”
“However, disciple…”
He seemed to want to say something but stopped, ultimately sighing before taking an invitation out from his bosom, one embellished with blue jade and white gold, branded with the pattern of a dragon and tiger; by the looks of it, it seemed to be from a wealthy and noble family.
“Tonight, it just so happens to be the birthday banquet of Old Master Qin, this is given to me by my second uncle, but he clearly wants me to attend to embarrass my father.”
Ye Chen took the invitation, pondered for a moment with a slightly strange expression, then calmed down and said, “Tonight is your grandfather’s birthday feast, are you willing to go?”
This disciple, truly, anyone dares to bully him.
Just then, an opportunity arrived.
“I… Master, I am willing to go!”
Though Qin Aotian was somewhat afraid, he still nodded his willingness.
He gazed at Ye Chen, knowing with the master by his side, there was no need to fear anyone else.
“Good!”
“I will take you there!”
“The Qin family, they owe you quite a few things, your master will ask them back for you.”
Ye Chen took out a manual and some high-level pills from the Samsara Graveyard, handed them to Qin Aotian, and said:
“There is still some time before evening, take these pills and use them, practice the manual, it should be able to help you make a breakthrough.”
“Thank you, Master!”
“I will take the master with me!”
After respectfully responding, Qin Aotian began his cultivation training under Ye Chen’s guidance.
Indeed, just as Ye Chen had anticipated, Qin Aotian had a profound foundation and had actually broken through two minor divisions that year.
The only pity was that this person had lacked resources since childhood.
Otherwise, his achievements now would likely be even more formidable.
Such a person, merely because he was an illegitimate child, was so disregarded by his family.
Perhaps this was something the Qin family would ultimately regret.
In the evening.
A gigantic mansion located in the southeastern part of the city was bustling with activity, various characters playing music, celebrating.
At the main entrance of the mansion, a middle-aged man in fine robes happily greeted the diverse characters coming to the banquet, laughing and saying, “Thank you, everyone, thank you! I appreciate everyone coming to Old Master Qin’s birthday feast today!”
“No trouble at all!”
“Head of the Qin family, you are too kind!”
“Really too kind!”
……
A variety of courteous words came forth, each person attending also eagerly offered their congratulations.
On the street outside the Qin family mansion, it was almost filled with diverse characters, some strong members of sects, and even members of other families from the same city, creating an endlessly busy scene, the line even stretching far and away.
Among the guests, the older generation were almost all powerful figures.
For this gigantic city near the Endless Sea, where more than twenty families resided, although the Qin family was considered a third-tier family in Heavenly Spirit City, Old Master Qin, who presided over the Qin family, was also a peak ninth-level Great Void expert, sufficient to suppress any rebellion, especially since it was his round age birthday naturally many people would attend!
Qin Baitian, head of the Qin family, burst into loud laughter and stepped forward, returning to his own residence.
Then the dozen or so servants by the door began to welcome the arriving guests.
The servants took a gift and an invitation, laughing as they announced, “The vice sect master of Dragon Might Sect has arrived, presenting Old Master Qin with a ten-thousand-year-old Fire Ginseng, please!”
“Heavenly Gate Sect Elder has arrived, presenting Old Master Qin with a twelve-thousand-year-old Water Spirit Pearl, please!”
“Head of the Chen family has arrived, presenting Old Master Qin with a thirteen-thousand-year-old Wood Spirit Pearl, please!”
“Wang family head has arrived, presenting Old Master Qin with a seven-thousand-year-old Snow Lotus, please!”
“Heavenly Mountain Sect Elder has arrived, presenting Old Master Qin with a five-thousand-year-old Earth Spirit Pearl, please!”
“Head of the Chen family has arrived, presenting Old Master Qin with an eighteen-thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng, please!”
“Head of the Chen family has arrived, presenting Old Master Qin with a fifteen-thousand-year-old Wood Spirit Pearl, please!”
“Gong Family Head has arrived, presenting Old Master Qin…….”
“Lian Family Master has arrived, presenting Old Master……”
One by one, these significant figures stepped into the gate of the Qin family after presenting their gifts.
This act did indeed resemble the customs of Huaxia, where attending a banquet with a gift, and announcing it along with one’s status not only showcased one’s wealth but also one’s esteemed identity.
Qin Baitian, head of the Qin family, watched these gifts being presented with great joy.
Old Master Qin’s banquet was truly a joyous occasion!
Just these gifts alone would be enough to support the Qin family for hundreds of years, and if used to nurture the family’s future generations, producing several peak Great Void geniuses in the next few years wouldn’t be an exaggeration at all!
“Second Master!”
“Big Master really has quite the reputation!”
In a side courtyard, a guard of Qin Nansheng, the second master of the Qin family, watched Qin Baitian receiving gifts with some indignation.
The Qin family!
In this generation, the family head’s branch had two people!
The first was Qin Baitian, the head of the Qin family.
The second was Qin Nansheng. He wasn’t much younger than Qin Baitian and had always coveted the position of the family head, often causing trouble for Qin Baitian. He himself was also a Great Void realm expert and was not at all fearful of confronting Qin Baitian.
“Hehe!”
“Receiving gifts? Are they meant to nurture his other sons?”
“That old man, Old Master Qin’s banquet—others send gifts, and he holds the decision-making power, but after today, he won’t have much reputation.”
Qin Nansheng looked disdainful, even somewhat resentful of Qin Baitian.
Qin Baitian only needed to be righteous, his reputation widespread.
It would be improper to force him from the position of family head without cause.
“Have the invitations you sent out arrived?”
“Is that guy Qin Aotian coming?”
Qin Nansheng’s expression was gloomy. He deeply knew that, more than a decade ago, Qin Baitian and a mysterious woman had had a child. After the mysterious woman died, Qin Baitian brought their child back, and it was Qin Nansheng behind the scenes, causing Qin Baitian to have no choice but to disown the child, who seemed to be wandering around the city.
This matter.
Very few knew about it, as Qin Baitian had also suppressed the incident at the time.
But now, with Qin Nansheng’s cultivation improved, naturally he wasn’t afraid of Qin Baitian and of course wanted to plot well, to let this gentleman famed throughout Jianghu, Qin Baitian, lose face, and use it to destroy his reputation, making seizing his position much easier.
In the Divine Kingdom or on the Lingwu Continent!
Reputation and face have always been matters of great importance.
Unlike Ye Chen, who doesn’t care about face or reputation and isn’t restricted by it, others, even if their cultivation is inferior, can achieve positions they normally shouldn’t if they have reputation and face.
Just like Qin Baitian!
If people knew he met a woman outside, breaking the Qin family’s rules, and even abandoned his own son, his reputation would be ruined!
