Chapter 1: Crossing the Great Qian

As a waft of medicinal fragrance filled the air, Qin Feng, lying in bed, suddenly opened his eyes wide

Qin Feng's expression was complicated. He had originally thought that a third-class General of the State was a significant position, but he did not expect that above it were the Generals of Assistance to the State and the Generals of Stabilizing the State. In this case, wouldn't it mean that anyone could overshadow him?

The original master could never hold their head high in front of this person, thus it seems there was an intention to forget this individual in their memories, resulting in a very vague impression of this person's appearance

From his memories, he also came to understand why the original owner was so disheartened and unaccomplished

What a talent

What about the original master? Not to mention being powerless, most of what has been learned and heard is merely theoretical discussions. One could have entered the scholarly path of the Sage of Literature through studying and seeking knowledge, yet this individual has studied for over ten years and has not even stepped into the foundational realm of the Nine Ranks of the Sage of Literature.

Pah, what am I thinking about

At that moment, with a hurried sound of footsteps, a person stepped through the door, quickly approached the bedside, and grasped Qin Feng's arm.

However, the current situation feels somewhat different from what I originally envisioned

Even when the second wife and his own brother looked at him, the original owner felt that their eyes were filled with blatant disdain

Perhaps, in a few days, he will be betrayed by Second Lady and his biological brother, expelled from the Qin family, and then leave behind the grand words of "Thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river," and from then on soar to great heights

In this world, humans and the Book Clan unite to combat demons and ghosts, possessing various schools of thought, such as the Hundred Ghosts, Divine Martial, and Literary Sage. The second son of the Qin family, Qin An, practices the Divine Martial school.

Who would have thought that they would encounter the demons wreaking havoc in the city, and then...

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng looked at the man in black with a face full of astonishment. This person actually called me brother? ... But there are only two young masters in the Qin family, does that mean ...

However, why did I cross over? Could it be that the original owner has died

At this point, the once illustrious Qin family holds only the title of a third-class general serving the nation

But I don't recall seeing any of these in my memory

Upon reflecting on this, Qin Feng's lips involuntarily curled upward, feeling a slight excitement.

Countless thoughts raced through my mind as the sound of a woman's sobbing echoed at the door: "When I left Fengtian City, I was originally against it. The world is so chaotic, with demons rampant. Within the Great Qian, where could be safer than the imperial capital? Yet, you insisted on coming to this remote place, disregarding my concerns.

Glancing over, one sees a person dressed in a black martial artist's outfit, looking handsome and around eighteen or nineteen years old. Their bright and spirited eyes evoke an involuntary flutter in the heart.

Originally, the Qin family resided in the imperial capital, Fengtian City. However, Qin Jian'an felt that the cost of living in the capital was too high, and he chose to sell the ancestral home, relocating the entire family to this remote small city in the south. At that time, this decision shocked countless people.

With a foggy mind, Qin Feng shook his head, feeling puzzled in his heart. Where is this? How did I end up here?

Qin Feng sighed deeply, feeling a profound sense of emotion. In his previous life, he had suffered from the oppression of other children since he was young. Little did he expect that in this life, he would also be unable to hold his head high under the pressure of his own younger brother.

At that moment, a sharp pain surged through my head, and a multitude of information flooded into my mind

The original master, feeling unfulfilled at home, often took to strolling through the city of Jinyang at night, where there was no curfew, to vent his dissatisfaction.

Madam, do not cry. All the mistakes are mine. I will go find the people from the Demon Slayer Division and the Hundred Ghosts Path shortly, so they can examine whether my son's soul has been harmed

He is my second younger brother, Qin An

What happened to the wicked stepmother we talked about, and what about the second brother who was supposed to put me to death? You care for and protect me so much, how will the plot unfold from here?

Qin Feng turned his gaze towards the source of the sound, where a beautiful woman, approximately thirty-five or thirty-six years old, was weeping. She was well-maintained, with a full figure and an attractive appearance. Beside her stood a middle-aged man with a resolute expression and handsome features.

Due to his vigorous constitution and exceptional physique, he successfully entered the Ninth Rank of Body Refinement at the age of fifteen, followed by the Eighth Rank of Qi Training at sixteen, and now at eighteen, he has reached the Seventh Rank of Breath Control.

This point is particularly evident in the character of the original protagonist's father, Qin Jian'an

According to memory, one of these two individuals is my stepmother, Meng Xue, and the other is my biological father, Qin Jian'an

It is known that countless individuals from the Great Qian Empire are eager to enter the imperial capital, Fengtian City, while those who voluntarily leave the imperial capital are rare in the world

That said, my heart was filled with joy; a beauty with such distinct features is truly rare. What could her relationship with me be? Could she possibly be my fiancée?

Qin Feng made a concerted effort to recall and finally understood the ins and outs of the situation

Southern Daqian, Jinyang City, residence of the third-class loyal general of the state, the Qin family.

If the ancestors of the Qin family were to learn of this matter, they would surely be enraged enough to jump out of their coffins

He could not afford to be overly surprised, as more memories surged forth

If I am not mistaken, it is likely that the eldest son has been frightened, causing a disturbance in his three souls and seven spirits. It may be necessary to summon a specialist from the Demon Slayer Department to examine the situation. An elderly man with graying hair provided this response after a brief contemplation

According to the hereditary system of demotion in the Great Qian dynasty, as long as someone from the Qin family could achieve military merit, they could retain their original noble rank or even ascend to a higher one. However, apart from that esteemed ancestor, the descendants were mostly mediocre individuals, leading to the gradual decline of the Qin family

In this back-and-forth comparison with m.hetushu.com, the original master naturally felt a loss of face, and at home, he always sensed that the servants and maids looked down upon him

Five days ago, outside Jinyang City, a black mist invaded the city, draining people's vital energy and claiming lives. The city's Demon-Slaying Department dispatched several individuals, all of whom went and never returned

How are you now? If Feng'er were to suffer any misfortune, how would I explain it to my deceased sister

Qin Feng, a frail scholar of the Great Qian Dynasty

Qin Feng was momentarily taken aback, his face slightly flushed, and he withdrew his arm, saying: "Miss, it is inappropriate for men and women to have close physical contact; I kindly ask you to maintain your dignity"

The ancestors of the Qin family once fought valiantly for the Great Qian's first emperor, vanquishing demons and monsters, and achieved remarkable military accomplishments. They were granted the title of Third-Class General of the State. Subsequently, the nobility was demoted through hereditary succession, transitioning from Third-Class General of the State to First-Class General of the State, and then to Second-Class and Third-Class.

Incredible, incredible, with such a delicate appearance, if one were to change into women's clothing...

I will go report to the master and the second lady. The charming young woman was clearly impulsive; without saying another word, she set down the medicine and hurriedly ran out of the room. Qin Feng intended to ask something, but seeing this situation, he could only helplessly give up.

Did they die of fright with their eyes closed and legs kicked out?

In today's world, marked by the ten years of Mingde, where demons and chaos reign, and a hundred ghosts roam at night, even though the Great Qian has the Demon-Slaying Department to eliminate demons and protect the people, it remains a case of addressing symptoms rather than the root cause

Originally, the biological mother of the original owner of hetushucom.com passed away due to a chronic illness when he was one year old. After that, Qin Jianan remarried and had a son with his second wife

Qin Feng opened his mouth; such a manner of death is truly unexpected.

My father, Qin Jian'an, a third-class general serving the nation, currently resides with the entire family in the southern city of Jinyang

Qin Feng stared wide-eyed, wondering if he had traveled through time or if he was a descendant of a prestigious family

Such an advanced speed, even if placed in Fengtian City, would elicit admiration from all.

Upon hearing this, the man in black furrowed his brows and turned to ask, "Doctor Song, what is wrong with my brother? He is talking nonsense and doesn't even recognize me anymore?"

Originally, this was nothing, after all, it was common for ancient people to have multiple wives and concubines. However, one must blame the exceptional talent of the second son of the Qin family!

The antique bedroom, the bed draped with sheer curtains, everything feels so unfamiliar

But none of this matters; having crossed over, I possess no talent for cultivation, receiving cold stares at home, targeted by a malicious stepmother, and oppressed by a half-brother with extraordinary gifts. Based on my past experiences, this is undoubtedly a rhythm that is bound to take off!

It is precisely for this reason that the original owner would spend each day feeling troubled, wandering the city of Jinyang at night to vent the dissatisfaction within.

"Young Master, are you awake?" A clear voice rang out. Qin Feng turned to look in the direction of the sound and saw a charming young woman dressed in a green skirt, currently holding a bowl of steaming medicinal soup in her hands.
