Chapter Seven: Iron-Blooded Father and Son

"A person who has severed ties with the world." Tang Lin felt a tremor in his heart, and his expression immediately darkened. He withdrew his hand and, with a faint smile, said: "Heh, it seems I have wasted my time. As the saying goes, when dragons and phoenixes unite, even snakes harbor thoughts of climbing towards the phoenix."

"Qinchuan, it seems you truly harbor delusions of grandeur. The once-mighty Qin residence has fallen to such a state; it is indeed laughable," Tang Lin remarked sarcastically.

I kneel in gratitude for my father's kindness

"Cold Eagle." On the stands, Qin Chuan's pupils contracted; he did not expect that the Qin residence would be so lively today. This Cold Eagle was once a deputy general under his father's command, known for his treacherous and ruthless nature, and was always disliked by his father. Eventually, he indeed followed the Ye family, the sworn enemies of the Qin family, to suppress the Qin residence.

The Qin residence is present, and Qin Wentian is here... Two days later, summon the men and soldiers of the Qin residence to march against the Bai family. If anyone dares to propose expelling Qin Wentian from the Qin residence again, I will personally execute them

It began when I was six years old," Qin Chuan said, "and it became increasingly severe until all my meridians were shattered

Over the years, Qin Wentian has consumed countless resources from the Qin residence and utilized several meteorites. Although I have my reservations, I have never voiced them. However, this matter concerns the reputation of the Qin residence. I suggest that we expel Qin Wentian from the Qin residence. We have done all that we could over these years. " Qin He spoke in a low voice, creating a heavy atmosphere in the space.

Hmm? Tang Lin noticed that Qin Chuan's manner of address had changed, and his expression turned displeased. The Qin residence was despised by the current emperor, declining day by day, and would eventually become a part of history. If it were not for Bai Qiuxue and Qin Yao, he would never have set foot in the Qin residence. However, he did not expect that Qin Chuan would be so disrespectful to him on behalf of Qin Wentian.

Let me see. Mo Shang and Tang Lin spoke almost simultaneously, and one of them placed a hand on Qin Wentian's wrist.

"Wen Tian, come here," Qin Chuan said to Qin Wen Tian. Immediately, Qin Wen Tian approached Qin Chuan. Qin Chuan then said, "Brother Tang, Brother Mo, this is my son Qin Wen Tian. He is indeed betrothed to Bai Qiu Xue, but my son's situation is special. Although he possesses exceptional talent, he is unable to cultivate. Could you two take a look and see if there is any solution?"

Qinchuan's pupils constricted, and his expression turned cold as he said: "Your Excellency, is it not somewhat inappropriate for you to speak like this"

He did not know his origins, as Heibo had never told him. He was also unaware of the connections between his ancestors. All he knew was that the kindness Qin Chuan had shown him was something he could never repay in this lifetime

Qin Wentian sighed inwardly. He had shattered his own meridians, causing concern for his adoptive father. He had intended to explain the reasons behind it to his adoptive father only after achieving the status of a martial practitioner. However, he never anticipated that the actions of the Bai family would stir up such a storm, affecting even the Qin residence.

"Young Master, it has been a long time since we last met," Cold Eagle said, his gaze sharp as that of a hawk, fixed on Qin Chuan.

Qin Wentian observed all of this, feeling a deep sense of lamentation in his heart. Looking at Qin Chuan's resolute face, he felt a pang of guilt. For his sake, Qin Chuan had unknowingly offended countless individuals. Now, he had even fallen out with the teacher of his biological daughter, Qin Yao, who was a powerful figure from the Royal Academy.

I have come to the Qin residence for two reasons: first, to see if the old master is still alive; second, to inform the Qin residence that in two days, various forces from the State of Chu will arrive at the Bai residence. Bai Qiuxue will certainly enter either the Imperial Star Academy or the Royal Academy. At that time, the two families will discuss the so-called marriage matters, and the Qin residence is requested to be present and not to hide away.

For this grace, Qin Chuan is willing to sacrifice everything. Such spirit leaves He and the others in awe; however, this ironclad loyalty also commands their respect, causing each person to stand upright.

"Qin Yao, your father is truly oblivious to the times," Tang Lin said coldly

Thud, thud, thud. The ground suddenly trembled, the sound of hooves resonating. The members of the Qin family focused their gazes, their expressions cold. Who dares to ride a horse within the Qin residence?

Father" Qin Wentian shouted heavily, and immediately knelt down, producing a faint echo.

What has happened?" Tang Lin was taken aback and replied.

I have always believed in you, that one day you will achieve what others cannot!" Qin Chuan's gaze was filled with determination

In two days, major forces will gather at the Bai family, and the Qin residence is preparing to dispatch troops. It seems that an exciting spectacle is about to unfold

"Wen Tian, you need not concern yourself with this matter. Stay at home with peace of mind; your adoptive father will seek justice for you." When Qin Chuan looked at Qin Wen Tian, his gaze softened considerably.

Qin Yao glanced at Qin Chuan; she herself was also unclear about what was happening and did not dare to deceive her teacher, which left her feeling somewhat troubled

Soon, they saw a group of knights wielding long spears and clad in armor rushing towards them. The leader, draped in a black robe over his armor, danced in the wind, his gaze sharp as a blade, emanating a chilling aura

Recalling Tang Lin's performance just now, Mo Shangxin couldn't help but secretly chuckle to himself, this fool

"Qin Wentian, he is more suited for an ordinary person's life," Qin Ye said softly

Elder brother, Qin He suddenly spoke up, saying: "You have seen the situation; the Bai family is clearly teaming up with the Ye family to deal with my Qin family. With Bai Qiuxue's talent and influence, if my Qin residence goes to confront them in two days, we will undoubtedly lose face in the process."

Qin Yao's expression changed, and she cast a glance at Qin Wentian before saying, "Teacher, this matter may have some unforeseen developments"

Having said that, Qin Chuan suddenly struck the chair beneath him with his palm. In an instant, a cracking sound echoed as the chair shattered, leaving the space in complete silence

Tang Lin believed that Mo Shang came to the Qin residence with the same purpose as his own, and he couldn't help but feel a slight pressure. He turned to Qin Yao and asked, "Yao'er, which young talent from the Qin residence is engaged to Bai Qiuxue?"

However, at this moment, Mo Shang had a different thought. He stared at Qin Wentian, squinting his eyes, and said with a smile: "Brother Qin, when did he cut off his pulse?"

Beside him, Mo Shang's gaze narrowed slightly, a rich smile on his face. Compared to Bai Qiuxue, he preferred the young man before him, whose talent was remarkable and whose mind was resilient. Given time, he would undoubtedly achieve great success

"Old Third, what do you think?" Qin Chuan asked another person, referring to the third son of the Qin family, Qin Ye

The entire Qin family is silent and still. Since the current emperor has suppressed the Qin family, the Qin residence has been in continuous decline; however, they still hold their heads high and have never experienced such humiliation before

Qin Chuan stepped forward and helped Qin Wentian up. The father and son looked at each other, both revealing smiles. This time, Qin Wentian did not call him "foster father," but instead referred to him as "father"

"Cold Eagle, you actually brought people to ride into the Qin residence, your audacity is growing bolder." Qin Chuan's gaze was extremely unfriendly, cold and indifferent

Cold Eagle paid no attention to Qin Chuan's words. The Qin residence has long been in decline, and His Majesty personally condones various forces in suppressing the Qin family. As long as Qin Chuan's father, Qin Hao, is still alive, it is feared that His Majesty will not feel at ease. Therefore, no matter who steps on the Qin residence, both His Majesty and the *Tu* *Shu* will only pretend to be unaware, which is precisely in line with his wishes.

The members of the Qin family all stared at the departing figure, and Qin Chuan's body even trembled with anger. If Bai Qiuxue were to cancel the engagement due to the prestige of being accepted as a disciple by the Imperial Star Academy, then everyone would consider it entirely justified. He, Qin Wentian of the Qin family, would be deemed unworthy. This would be an insult to the Qin residence, an affront to Qin Wentian.

"Be quiet. What does it mean to be born with a severed pulse? One must ask why the pulse once existed in the heavens, and surely some unexpected event has led to this. Moreover, the power of the heavens to perceive the stars is indeed formidable." Qin Chuan shouted, and this scene caused Mo Shang and Tang Lin to narrow their eyes slightly, as if they understood something, though their thoughts were different.

"What kind of favor did Qin Wentian's ancestors bestow upon the Qin family that has led Qin Chuan to treat him this way?" The others felt a chill in their hearts. They only knew that Qin Chuan had taken Qin Wentian as his adopted son and treated him so well, solely to repay the kindness of Qin Wentian's ancestors.

The Bai family is being excessive. Qin Chuan never expected that the Bai family would repay kindness with enmity. Two days later, he intends to go and see for himself

In recent years, many people in the Qin residence have indeed expressed their grievances towards Qin Wentian. Qin Chuan has been overly indulgent towards this adopted son; however, he is precisely a good-for-nothing who cannot cultivate, rendering him unable to rise.

"Six years old." Mo felt a chill run down his spine as he stared at Qin Wentian. He then released his grip, his gaze flickering. If his speculation were true, then this young man must possess extraordinary determination

Having spoken, he mounted the giant eagle and soared into the sky. The giant eagle circled in the void, its cry seemingly laced with a sense of irony

"Yao'er, from now on, you are not to take this person as your teacher anymore." Qin Chuan's voice was forceful, causing Qin Yao's complexion to turn pale, while Tang Lin was furious and exclaimed, "Good, very good!"

Are you implying that my Qin residence, as the Cold Eagle stated, is to be avoided and not visited?" Qin Chuan said coldly

I see. Tang Lin sneered and said, "Qin Chuan, wait to be slapped in the face, I take my leave."

The sound of Qin Chuan echoed in the void, and one could see his body standing upright. The onlookers gazed at Qin Chuan as if they were witnessing the stature of their ancestors from years past

Now, in this evening, my Qin family has fallen into decline. Just because we have suffered some humiliation, we are to expel the descendants of our ancestors' benefactors from the Qin family. Such actions make me feel ashamed and bring disgrace to my ancestors. In the future, when I descend to the underworld, I will have no face to meet the spirits of my ancestors

Having said that, Leng Ying tightened the reins of his warhorse, and the sound of hooves thundered as he galloped away, only turning back to give Qin Chuan a cold smile. His eyes, honed by years on the battlefield, resembled a sharp sword, capable of piercing through the hearts of men

"Elder brother, being born with a unique talent is indeed a remarkable gift," said Qin He.

Qinchuan fell silent for a moment, then cast his gaze over the crowd and slowly said: "In the past, our ancestors were favored by the late Emperor, fighting on the battlefield for eighty years, suffering serious injuries eighteen times. During the Ten Kingdoms Alliance, when the late Emperor was besieged, he rode alone for a thousand miles, bearing eight arrows, yet still managed to rescue the late Emperor. By the time he returned to the country, he was beyond healing. What remarkable spirit that was"

Qin Wentian stepped down from the viewing platform and approached the arena. He then knelt on both knees, gazing at Qin Chuan, and said: "This matter arose because of me, and I will resolve it myself, without the need to involve any power of the Qin residence. The Bai family's actions, though they humiliate me, do not concern me. However, if it affects the dignity of the Qin residence, I will not agree to it. This matter, I, Qin Wentian, will bear the full responsibility."

If you have no other matters, please feel free to leave said Qin Chuan, issuing a dismissal order, which put Qin Yao in a difficult position. She said, Teacher, my father has always had a quick temper, please do not take offense.
