Chapter 575 Anger
As Qin Xun and Qin Xiang were talking, Qin He narrowed his eyes when he heard Qin He mention going to the small space in the demon beast realm.
Qin Xun initially didn't want to pay attention to Qin He, but after a moment's hesitation, he turned and asked, "Qin He, are you also going to the small space in the demon beast realm to accumulate wealth?"
The group stood together, and Qin Lang glanced at Qin He with disdain.
Qin He had already gone to the small space in the demon beast realm. If she wanted to accumulate wealth, she could have gone with the disciples of the immortal sects. There was no need for her to come back. Qin Lang didn't believe that Qin He had no other plans.
"My cultivation is high." Qin He smiled gently. She knew that Qin Xun did not want her to go to the small space of the demon beast realm, but she insisted on going to spite Qin Bi. "Of course I'm going. I'm going with several senior brothers and sisters to collect more things in the small space of the demon beast realm."
Before even going there, Qin He looked smug and self-satisfied.
There was no other way; Qin He had the confidence to back it up. She was a disciple of a celestial sect, and Prince He had provided her with cultivation resources and found her a good marriage over the years. She was considered a prodigy in the Marquis's mansion.
Several young masters and ladies from noble families looked at Qin He with envy, wishing they could also go to the Immortal Sect.
"Do you still need to collect things?" Qin Lang said, disapprovingly. "Just ask Prince He. Prince He should be able to grant your every request. With maxed-out luck, things should fall from the sky."
"Qin Lang." Qin He said sternly, "How can you talk like that? You are the son of a marquis. He Shizi treats me well, so you don't need to be jealous and use such words to belittle me."
Qin Lang said, "I'm not jealous, you're overthinking it."
"I'll let it go for my third uncle's sake," Qin He said.
The implication was that if Qin Lang wasn't Qin Tan's child, Qin He would take action. Her cultivation level was several levels higher than Qin Lang's, and if she did, Qin Lang and Qin Xun would truly be no match for her.
Qin Xun glanced over indifferently. If Qin He dared to make a move, Qin Xun would make a move too.
Qin Yan had no choice but to smooth things over: "Qin He, you've just gotten back, so hurry up and get ready. In a couple of days, all the families will be heading to the small space in the demon beast realm, so you should take a break."
Qin He smiled, didn't leave, but also stopped arguing with Qin Lang.
Qin He told Qin Yan and the others about their trip to the small space in the demon beast realm: "We encountered a few teams of ignorant cultivators who wanted to fight us, but we just killed them. In the cultivation world, the strong are respected."
Qin Lang was angry; this was clearly meant for him and Qin Xun to hear.
Second Madam Cui did not stop them. The Fourth Branch was really disrespectful to the Second Branch. Slapping Qin He's face was slapping the Second Branch's face. Qin He gave things away for free, and Qin Xun actually embarrassed Qin He.
The Fifth Madam drank tea and watched the spectacle, seeing who could outwit whom.
In the opinion of the Fifth Madam, the Fourth Branch is still somewhat lacking. Its only advantage is that the Fourth Branch's illegitimate daughter, Qin Bi, married the Rong Prince and gained status through her son. Apart from that, she is inferior to Qin He in every way.
Qin He was good at making money and getting things done. When she returned from the small space in the demon beast realm, she would share the spiritual plants and demon beast crystals. Before that, Qin He would also share any good things she got.
Qin He has been well-liked in the Marquis's mansion over the years.
As for Qin Bi? She doesn't get along with Qin Han from the fourth branch of the family. Both of them are illegitimate daughters of the fourth branch and children of Qin Di. If they can't even get along with their own sisters, who else can they be with? The Fifth Madam shook her head, knowing that she definitely doesn't have much affection for anyone.
Moreover, Qin Bi had been to the small space of the demon beast realm several times, and she must have gained something, but she never shared it with her brothers and sisters in the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion. It's not surprising that Qin Yan's generation prefers Qin He.
The second branch of the family has accumulated wealth over the years and is now richer than the fourth branch. You can tell just by looking at Qin Yuan's clothes. The fourth branch's concubine daughters are not as well-dressed as Qin Yuan, and they all fawn over Qin He.
The Fifth Madam watched the spectacle, but she didn't get involved with the Second and Fourth wives. Qin Bi was now the Princess Consort of the Rong Prince, and no one could afford to offend the Rong Prince. In terms of status, Qin Bi was higher than Qin He, except that Qin Bi didn't have Qin He's maxed-out fortune or her status as a disciple of a celestial sect.
Qin Yan and Lady Qin Yanhou had no choice but to smooth things over. Qin He's status as a disciple of the Immortal Sect meant that the Qin Yanhou family couldn't afford to offend her, so they had to give Qin He some leeway.
"How are the preparations going?" Qin Yan asked Qin Xun.
Qin Xun was in a bad mood: "That's about it, and there aren't any magic artifacts left."
Qin He heard this from not far away and laughed disdainfully. Qin Cui glanced at her and then at Qin Xun. Qin He was really something else. She had no shortage of summoning artifacts, and the artifact for summoning rain was of a high grade.
Qin Xun, his anger rising, got up and left with Qin Lang.
The two went straight back to the third house. Qin Bi and Qin Tang were still in their third uncle's study when they saw Qin Xun return with a bad expression. They were puzzled, as were Qin Tan and Qin Di.
"What's wrong?" Qin Bi asked.
Qin Lang then went on and on about how Qin He had shown off, and how she had given Qin Xun a demon beast crystal: "Who knows what she's up to? Who doesn't have a good relationship with someone, giving them gifts for no reason?"
"Qin Lang," Qin Tan called out to him, "Qin He is your cousin."
"What cousin?!" Qin Lang said indignantly, "She's deliberately talking to me. I just confronted her, and she told Qin Cui and the others that she encountered a group of ignorant cultivators in the small space of the demon beast realm and wiped them out."
Qin Tan frowned; this was indeed outrageous.
"Did you two have a fight?" Qin Tan asked.
"No," Qin Lang said, "I can't beat her."
Qin Bi took a deep breath. Her battle qi, which had already calmed down, was now too strong to suppress. Her mind was not in control, and she was easily agitated. Qin Bi suppressed her battle qi. Just as Qin Lang had said, at present, none of them could beat Qin He.
Third Uncle is acceptable, after all, Qin Tan is the magistrate of Da Yan County, and has his own destiny and the ruthless spirit of Da Yan's subjects.
"Let's not make things too tense." Qin Di knew that his daughter and son were angry, but he was not strong enough to do so, so he could only back down: "Qin He's cultivation is above yours. If we make too much of a scene, I'm afraid that Qin He will deliberately cause trouble when we get to the small space of the demon beast realm."
Qin Bi became even angrier upon hearing this.
But what my father said makes sense; Qin He's cultivation level is high, and they can't beat her.
As they were talking, Qin Yan arrived. Qin He had already returned to the Xue Prince's residence. Qin Yan came to discuss going to the Ministry of Revenue tomorrow to select a small space in the Demon Beast Realm. The great immortal cultivation families would be vying for one of the many small spaces.
"Is Qin Bi going to the Ministry of Revenue?" Qin Yan asked.
Qin Yan was not Qin He; he was just asking casually. After all, Qin Bi was the Crown Prince's wife, so it didn't matter whether Qin Bi went or not. Qin Yan wouldn't pester Qin Bi to go to the Ministry of Revenue to choose a small space in the Demon Beast Realm.
Qin Bi thought of the Marquis's family's good fortune, which meant that all members of the Qin family would benefit from it, so she said, "I'm not going."
Qin Yan made arrangements with his third and fourth uncles to go to the Ministry of Revenue the next day, then got up and left. Qin Bi stayed for a while, then told Madam He that she was going back to the Rong Prince's Mansion. Qin Xun and Qin Lang saw her off.
The next day, Qin Bi didn't go to the Ministry of Revenue, but Qin He definitely would. She was destined to be the pride of the Marquis's household, and she needed to make a name for herself. Qin He also brought Fu Bao with her; Fu Bao was blessed. (End of Chapter)
