C38 Past Events

The sun had set, and the pedestrians were dwindling.

The summer had already come to an end. The autumn wind blew, scattering the fallen leaves on the ground.

With an ugly face and a basket of soybeans in her hands, Li Qingzhi walked past the small path. However, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure standing alone at the entrance of a small teahouse at the end of the street.

Smoke rose in spirals. Under the gradually brightening dim yellow light, that person's figure was dragged very long, almost reaching in front of Li Qingzhi.

"Young Master, why are you here?" Li Qingzhi walked over and stood beside the person at the entrance of the teahouse as she greeted him.

That person was none other than Qin Yuan, who was waiting for Xiao Qi.

Seeing that it was Li Qingzhi, Qin Yuan said while standing still, "Nothing, I'm waiting for a girl." But maybe she won't come. "

Li Qingzhi could clearly see the many emotions in Qin Yuan's eyes. She consoled him, "Maybe she just remembered the wrong time and place …" I don't think any girl would want to miss a date with a hero like you, young master. "

Qin Yuan was stunned, and thought about Xiao Qi's muddleheaded personality. He smiled bitterly and said, "You reminded me of that silly girl's memory …" He might really remember wrongly! "It's a pity that there are no phones in this world …"

"What's a cell phone?"

In the Martial God Continent, it was different from Earth. There was no technology here, and it was almost no different from the ancient times. There were only some strange crystals that could make life easier, such as the Sound Transmission Stone used for short distances, the Sound Isolation Stone, the Burning Fire Stone used to burn trash, and so on.

Thus, to find a "Xiao Qi" that could be a fake name in such a big city like Chu Shi was like looking for a needle in a haystack. However, before Da Hu and Xiao Hu met Qin Yuan, they already knew a lot of people from the city. Perhaps they could find Xiao Qi through them.

Qin Yuan rolled his eyes and shook his head, "It's nothing, you heard wrong. Let's return to Qin Manor. "

Ever since his father, Qin Wanchuan, had dispelled the Heart Shattering Powder, Qin Yuan decided to move back to the Qin Residence. Only when he needed something would he return to the Medicinal Pavilion.

Just as they stepped through the entrance of Qin Manor, Qin Yuan saw Qin Yi walking over.

Speaking of which, it was truly miraculous. Three months ago, Qin Yuan was still a member of the Arterial Circulation Realm who was constantly being bullied by Qin Yi and his group.

However, Qin Yuan was too lazy to argue with Qin Yi. After all, Qin Yi had not truly colluded with Qin Jue.

"Qin..." Junior Brother Qin Yuan. " Just as Qin Yuan was about to pass by Qin Yi, Qin Yi finally shouted, "I have something to ask of you from the Elders Guild."

Qin Yuan paused for a moment. He felt that Qin Yi had changed completely. He no longer had the frivolousness and slovenliness he once had. The muscles on his face had been greatly reduced, and he now looked a lot more energetic.

"I know." Qin Yuan answered without thinking.

Qin Yi gritted his teeth and said to Qin Yuan in a low voice, "It seems that it's because He Shaotang secretly used the Alchemy Pavilion's Soul Spring to hold you accountable."

"Oh?" Qin Yuan did not turn back as he continued walking forward.

Watching Qin Yuan walk away, Qin Yi hesitated for a long time. In the end, he did not follow him and sighed on his own accord.

Arriving at the meeting hall, Qin Yuan knocked on the door. After receiving his consent, he pushed the door open and stepped into the hall.

At this moment, the one seated at the head of the meeting hall was no longer Grand Elder Qin Xian, but Qin Yuan's father, Qin Wangchuan.

This seat was originally occupied by the Patriarch, but because Qin Wangchuan was poisoned and was unable to attend the meeting of the Elders every day, it was taken up by Qin Xian. Now that Qin Wang Chuan had recovered most of his strength, he sat back on the seat of honor.

"Patriarch, elders." Qin Yuan slightly bowed in salute.

Great Elder Qin Xian seemed to have aged a little. His eyes, which pretended to be gentle and gentle, now revealed a trace of a sinister look. After Qin Yuan had bowed, he took the lead and asked, "Qin Yuan, the Elders Guild originally thought highly of you, which is why they gave you the Alchemy Pavilion for you to handle. But now, how are you?!

"That's right!" A person walked out from behind Qin Xian. It was his son, Qin Fuyi. "If I didn't find out recently, how long would you have been hiding this from me, Qin Yuan?"

Qin Yuan glanced at Qin Wang and did not directly answer their questions. Instead, he asked, "Uncle Fu, what position do you occupy in the Elders Guild?"

Qin Fu sneered: "Qin Yuan, you don't have to change the topic. I'm not a member of the Elders Guild, but I'm here to expose your misappropriation of the Soul Performing Spring, so I naturally have the right to stand here!"

"Since you are here to expose me, why are you not standing by my side but hiding behind the First Elder's position?" Qin Yuan continued to ask.

After being questioned by Qin Yuan, Qin Fu didn't know how to respond. He could only flick his sleeves and walk down from his position as Great Elder and stood beside Qin Yuan. "That should be fine, right? Tell me, why did you allow your subordinate to use the Soul Performing Spring? "

"Uncle, may I ask if the Soul Calming Spring that was used to save my life is considered a diversion? After that, I have also paid off the money for the Soul Securing Fountain for Elder He. Qin Yuan asked another series of rhetorical questions.

"You!" Qin Fu was flustered, "What kind of attitude is this? Is there anyone who would speak to their elders like that? "

"It's just a matter of fact." Qin Yuan said indifferently, "I naturally have to respect my elders. However, if this elder doesn't regard me as a junior, then why should I respect him!"

Since Qin Wangchuan had returned, he would not let Qin Yuan face the harsh criticism from Qin Xian and his son alone. Thus, he said, "The Elders Guild is not the place to quarrel. Brother Fuyi, please stay calm and listen to what Yuan'er has to say."

Qin Yuan told him how he had been injured and how He Shaodang had decided to save his own life in the face of danger. He then said, "If the elders do not believe me, you can look through the account book and see if I have already paid back the money for the Soul Suppressing Spring."

Qin Fu disapproved and said angrily: "According to what you said, as long as I take over the family property, I will no longer have to take responsibility."

Qin Yuan didn't panic in the slightest as he retorted, "From what you're saying, my life is not worth more than a bottle of Soul Halting Springs?"

Qin Wang didn't know how to reply. If it was in the past, he could have made some utilitarians acknowledge that Qin Yuan's life was not as good as a bottle of Soul Forming Spring. After all, Qin Yuan was a junior that couldn't practice martial arts and was not even worth mentioning to them.

But now, not only was Qin Yuan able to cultivate, he had even defeated Qin Jue in one fell swoop and became the number one person in the Qin family.

Qin Xian was about to speak, but Qin Wangchuan cut him off: "Yuan`er's life is far more important than some Soul Performing Spring, furthermore Yuan`er has already paid for it, so it can't be considered as taking it away. "Alright, alright, let's not bring this up again!"

"Patriarch is right." Eighth Elder Qin Tao chimed in.

As for the other elders, most of them were people who were in pursuit of power. After Qin Wangchuan returned, there were quite a number of people who had mysteriously disappeared from the Qin family, which made many of them imagine it.

At this time, they all turned to Qin Wangchuan, nodding their heads in agreement.

Qin Xian saw that his momentum was gone, so he did not say anything and just stared coldly at Qin Yuan. However, what he didn't know was that Qin Yuan was also secretly looking at Qin Fu Yi who was beside him.

"You've pulled out so many small characters. Since you're so impatient to jump out and provoke me, then I won't be polite!"
