C17 Slave Nature?
Qin Yue had spent most of his life in the army, so he was very good at judging people.
He believed that Lin Tian was born to be a soldier.
Sure enough, in just half a year, Lin Tian had already broken through to the first level of the Pulse Opening Stage, and his speed was astonishing.
What was even more amazing was that Lin Tian was born with extraordinary strength. Even if he was at the third level of the Pulse Opening Stage, it would be very difficult for him to gain the upper hand.
Qin Yue had made an exception and promoted him to a valiant officer, and he was now in charge of three hundred soldiers.
At first, there were people who were not convinced. After Lin Tian defeated all the people who challenged him one by one, his subordinates were convinced by him and established their prestige in the army.
"You two brothers are interesting. One civil servant and one martial artist, really interesting." Qin Zheng raised his wine glass and raised it towards Lin Yue.
In the past six months, Lin Yue had helped Qin Zheng do a lot of things, making him feel that he had some ability to compete for the throne with Qin Gaang.
"I still need to thank Second Young Master for his help. Without you, my big brother would not have become a soldier. This glass of wine is for you." Lin Yue said.
"This is what I should do. Since you are helping me, of course I will let you have nothing to worry about." Qin Zheng smiled, "After Qin Gaang was punished, he didn't seem to be honest at all. We can find a chance to humiliate him again."
"The water needs to be boiled slowly. If it is too urgent, it will splash into my hands. Calm down and wait for an opportunity." Lin Yue drank the wine in one gulp.
"That's right. Anyway, there's still plenty of time..." Qin Zheng was halfway through his sentence when a subordinate came in.
"Reporting to the Second Young Master. Someone from Qin Yue Prefecture has come to pay his respects." The subordinate said.
"Oh, please come in." Qin Zheng said.
"Then I'll take my leave." Lin Yue said.
"No need. Let's continue drinking and see what exactly is going on." Qin Zheng waved his hand.
"Greetings, Second Young Master. This is a letter from my master. He wants me to give it to you personally." After kowtowing, the butler of Qin Yue Prefecture handed over a letter.
Qin Zheng opened the letter. After a moment, he looked at Lin Yue with a strange expression.
"You can go back first. Tell the Chief Commander that he will go." Qin Zheng said to the butler at the end.
Lin Yue was a little puzzled. He didn't understand why Qin Zheng looked at him that way.
Wait! Qin Zheng pushed him out and said, "Qin Lan wants to see you."
"What? See me?" Lin Yue was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, "Didn't I already 'die'? How did she know?"
"This... Well, actually I told Qin Yue." Qin Zheng said somewhat unnaturally.
Lin Yue felt helpless.
"When Qin Yue interrogated me, did you really die? I said that he didn't believe me and even said that Qin Lan insisted on paying her respects to you. I had no choice but to tell him the truth. " Qin Zheng said, "But don't worry, he definitely won't tell anyone."
"Then he accepted my brother as a soldier under him. Is this also the reason?" Lin Yue asked.
"At first, he did, but after seeing Lin Tian, Qin Yue really liked him." Qin Zheng said.
"Alright. Then why does Qin Lan want to see me now?"
"I don't know either. You can see for yourself." Qin Zheng saw the letter and handed it over.
Lin Yue saw a few simple words on the letter, "Lan-er wants to see Lin Yue. Make sure he comes."
But he did not receive the letter, "Second Young Master, aren't you laughing at me? Have you forgotten that I can't read?"
"Oh, hi, watch me forget about this." Qin Zheng suddenly understood. "Qin Yue said in the letter that Qin Lan wants to see you. You should take some time to go."
Lin Yue frowned. He really did not want to mess with these things, but it seemed that he could not avoid it.
"By the way, when you have time, go to school and find Teacher Liu. Buy a meal and let him teach you how to read. In the future, I still need you to do a lot of things for me. You can't not be illiterate." Qin Zheng said.
"Thank you, Second Young Master. I understand." Lin Yue cupped his fists and said, "Then I'll make a trip to Qin Yue Prefecture first."
As he walked, he was wondering why Qin Lan was looking for him.
If she wanted to thank him for his kindness, it had already been half a year. This was too insincere.
Furthermore, Qin Yue had given him the Qiankun Pill, so it could be considered as returning the favor.
He really could not think of the reason why Qin Lan wanted him.
Lin Yue came to Qin Yue Prefecture and was brought to the living room.
After he finished drinking a cup of tea, Qin Lan slowly spoke.
"I have made Young Master Lin wait for a long time. Please forgive me." Qin Lan said apologetically.
"Miss Qin is too serious." Lin Yue hurriedly got up and bowed.
Qin Lan asked Lin Yue to sit down. She deliberately arrived late and peeked outside. She found that he drank tea calmly without any anxiety or uneasiness, which made her appreciate him very much.
"I asked Young Master Lin to come this time to thank young master. If it wasn't for young master, I'm afraid that I would have been tainted by Qin Gaang." Qin Lan's eyes were filled with tears.
That incident had dealt a huge blow to her. Although she didn't lose her body, the rumors outside had spread all over the place, causing her to feel exhausted.
Even the marriage between her and Qin Gaang had been annulled by the man because of this. It was rumored that Qin Lan had been forced onto the bow by Qin Gaang.
"This is something that should be done." However, today's matter should not be as simple as a thank you.
Qin Lan looked at Lin Yue. Although he was born as a servant, his gestures were neither servile nor overbearing. He was modest and polite.
"I heard that young master was previously doing chores, and then he soared into the sky. He became the personal servant of the second young master, and now he has become a Mentor. I think he must have extraordinary courage as well. I wonder what he will think of the future? " After a moment of silence, Qin Lan asked.
"I was appreciated by the Second Young Master, that's why I have today. Of course, I will still be loyal to the Second Young Master in the future." Lin Yue thought quickly.
He did not know why Qin Lan called him here today, so after some consideration, he gave a relatively safe answer.
Qin Lan's eyes dimmed a little, and she was a little disappointed. She originally thought that Lin Yue would be different, but now it seemed that he was still full of slavery in his bones.
Ever since Qin Gaang had violated Qin Lan, although Qin Gaang had been punished, Qin Lan had also received some compensation from the Duke of Qin. However, this was far from enough compared to the psychological damage Qin Lan had suffered.
The Duke of Qin had even suggested for Qin Gaang to marry Qin Lan, but Qin Lan refused to do so.
If Qin Gaang had not married yet, there was still room for negotiation.
Qin Gaang had already married and taken a concubine. Qin Lan would only be a concubine if she married. To her, this was unacceptable.
Her mother's health was already not good, and after being hit by Qin Lan's withdrawal from the marriage, she became even more ill. It seemed that she would not be able to live for more than a few years.
Her mother's only wish was to see Qin Lan marry, or else she would not die in peace.
Qin Lan was very anxious and could not find a suitable candidate at that moment. Only then did she think of Lin Yue.
She had a different view from ordinary women. She liked to study and had read at least ten thousand books. She even knew that the founding emperor of Daxuan Country was only a civilian.
As the saying goes, heroes do not need to know where they come from. As long as they have ambition, there will always be a day when they will be able to make a name for themselves.
Qin Lan knew that Lin Tian was currently working under her father. In just half a year in the army, he had entered the Pulse Opening Stage and was promoted to a valiant officer. Whether it was martial cultivation or advancement speed, it was extremely rare.
With such a big brother, her little brother shouldn't be too bad.
According to the initial observation, Lin Yue was indeed not bad. However, his words just now indicated that he was still a servant in his bones.
There were some things that could be changed, but things that merged into his bones were very difficult to erase.
