Chapter 8: Essence

At this moment, the younger brother Qin Xing blinked and said: "But at the very least, the Crown Prince should not bully my brother at will, right? After all, my brother is a core disciple of the Reincarnation Hall."

Most importantly, this young girl is well-educated, gentle, and virtuous, without the slightest air of a wealthy heiress. Hmph, can the Qi family really afford to let go of such a marriage? They will regret it later.

Qin Zheng? How can a person who has already been declared dead still be worthy of the "heritage" of the Qin family

However, Qin Yang seems to be a person who will never have a headache. True to his name, he is as sunny and radiant as it suggests, wearing a dazed smile reminiscent of someone basking in the sun

As the Crown Prince of the Great Xia, he is at least equivalent to one of the seven peak masters of the Reincarnation Hall, and perhaps even slightly superior. By that time, will Qin Yang still be able to cope

It is evident that Lady Qin is also very curious about Qin Yang's current situation. However, the prohibition against inquiring about Qin Yang's affairs within the Reincarnation Hall was a direct arrangement made by Qin Zheng back in the day, and Lady Qin does not dare to overstep her bounds to ask.

Qin Yang squinted and smiled, saying: "Everyone, uncles and brothers, please do not worry. I believe the Crown Prince of the Great Xia must also consider the relationship between the dynasty and the Reincarnation Hall, so he will not go too far... Ah, I haven't seen my mother and younger brother for ten years. You should at least give us a little time to talk, right? Haha"

Upon hearing these words, the wife of Duke Qin and the two children were left dumbfounded, even forgetting to breathe. In the vast hall, the hearts of the four family members were all suspended in anticipation

Upon hearing these words, everyone nodded in agreement

Unbeknownst to him, the sixteen-year-old Qin Yang seemed to have become the backbone of the entire Qin Marquis residence

Amidst this jade, it seems that this spark is leaping and burning, endlessly emitting a faint yet enduring energy

The Qin Marquisate, due to its formidable strength and prowess in battle, has long been regarded as the foremost marquisate in the world. Now, the fact that such a young man is able to instantly stabilize such a vast Qin Marquisate is evidently somewhat strange to people

Even Lady Qin could not help but smile and said, "You child, really, it has been ten years! Your father does not allow inquiries, so I dare not ask casually. That is one thing. It is rare that you, this child, keep your mouth shut. Who taught you to be so mature at such a young age?"

"Then, brother, at least tell me which peak you are on," Qin Xing said, slightly unhappy. "There are seven peaks in the legendary Reincarnation Hall. If something happens later, at least I can come to find you."

As everyone exchanged glances, they thought to themselves that although the young master was quite likable, his carefree and fearless personality seemed a bit too reckless, didn't it

Therefore, Lady Qin also said to Qin Xing and Qin Xu: "As for the two of you, do not inquire about your brother; when the time comes, he will naturally speak. Right now, your brother is the greatest asset of our Qin family, do you understand? The so-called asset means that we must strive to maintain our own foundation and not allow others to easily uncover our secrets. You two are still young, especially you, Xiao Xing; you still have the temperament of a child who speaks without thinking."

Qin Zhongbao nodded and said: "Perhaps a major conflict is unlikely, but what we fear is... the Crown Prince is an arrogant and overbearing young hero. If he happens to be offended by our words, I can only hope that the eldest son can endure it. After all, our Qin family cannot confront the dynasty head-on— not even when the old marquis was still around"

Suddenly, Lady Qin, Qin Xing, and Qin Xu all felt a slight astonishment

At this moment, both Qin Xing and Qin Xu were extremely curious about their brother's experiences in the Hall of Reincarnation. However, due to the rules of the Hall of Reincarnation, Qin Yang truly could not say much.

Indeed, what should we do if the Crown Prince of the Great Xia arrives

Seeing the confusion of his family, Qin Yang took out a piece of light pink jade from his bosom. This jade was only the size of a thumb pad, originally smooth and white. As for the faint red hue emanating from it, it came from a subtle star-like speck within.

Subsequently, Qin Yang briefly introduced his current identity as a disciple of the Hall of Reincarnation to those present from the Qin family. Although it was not appropriate to elaborate on the finer details, simply mentioning the three words "Hall of Reincarnation" was enough to create a significant impact

"Cut it out!" Qin Xing immediately expressed his dissatisfaction, "Am I still a child? My brother is only a little older than me."

Heavens! Could it be that Qin Zheng... is still alive?

Therefore, he can explain the situation to his mother alone when no one is around. As for the younger brother and sister, it is best not to let them make it widely known for the time being

... ...

This is the miraculous jade left to me by my father, named 'Qin Blood'! In the palm of Qin Yang's hand rests this jade called 'Qin Blood', and he solemnly said, 'I remember my father once said that this is a magical object that keeps our spirits connected. As long as the 'Blood Source Radiance' within this Qin Blood does not extinguish, it means... my father is still in this world!''

... ...

Thus, the members of the Qin family suddenly realized why Qin Yang was so unrestrained. Naturally, everyone felt an inexplicable excitement, thinking that since the eldest young master had helped the Qin family find the Reincarnation Hall as a backing, the Qin family, in this time of turmoil, had suddenly become much more stable.

Indeed, this seems quite similar to the old marquis, with no way out

Upon hearing his mother mention the term "cultural depth," Qin Yang's expression gradually faded, his eyes flickering like cold stars, and he said: "No, I am still quite young; how can I be worthy of the term 'cultural depth'? The cultural depth of the Qin family, spanning three thousand miles of land, has always belonged to my father and those twenty-seven uncles who have fought alongside him—this was true in the past, and it remains true now"

Qin Yang smiled, thinking that his affairs in the Reincarnation Hall were not overly secretive within the family. However, as his mother had said, it was wise to keep some matters to himself.

After everyone left, Qin Yang spoke a bit more to his mother and younger brother, but he did not go into too much detail. This is because the Hall of Reincarnation always seems to be shrouded in mystery, both real and illusory.

Indeed, with Qin Yang's astonishing actions today, there are some cautious and experienced individuals within the family who feel a sense of unease. The steward, Qin Zhongbao, cleared his throat and said: "Eldest Young Master, today you have showcased the prestige of our Qin residence, dispelling the gloom of the past and stabilizing the morale of the Marquis's household, splendid! However... Zhao Xi, that young lady, is after all the unwed Crown Princess, and we fear she might incite the Crown Prince to provoke us, so we must remain vigilant and prepared."

The panic initially triggered by the loss of Qin Zheng has inexplicably subsided at this moment

On the side, the younger sister Qin Xu, who had already arrived, also nodded earnestly. This little girl was younger in age, but she had already begun to blossom into a light beauty. In her features, there was a resemblance to Lady Qin Hou, yet she seemed even more delicate than Lady Qin Hou. It was certain that she would grow up to be a stunningly beautiful woman.
