The Arrival of the Young Master of the Li Family!

In the Qin family's residence.

In the main hall.

Several figures were seated.

At the top, a middle-aged man sat upright.

When he opened his eyes, golden light radiated, and his aura was as deep as the sea, awe-inspiring and exuding a terrifying majesty. He was none other than the current patriarch of the Qin family, Qin Tianhai.

For five hundred years, he had been leading the Qin family, guiding them from being the third family in Fallen Leaf City to becoming the number one family. He could be said to have made great contributions.

  Originally, he thought the Qin family would continue to flourish.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. His youngest son was born with crippled meridians and had no talent for cultivation. On the other hand, his daughter had good talent, but she would eventually marry someone else. Once married, she would belong to another family. He couldn't possibly hand over the entire Qin family to his daughter.

At present, several large families near Fallen Leaf City were aware that the Qin family had no suitable successor, so they all set their eyes on this piece of cake. Each family wanted to take a bite and get a share of the benefits.

The Chen family was just one of them.

Qin Tianhai glanced at the young man sitting on his right hand side in the hall. He picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said calmly, "Young Patriarch Chen, how many times has this been that you've come to my Qin residence?"

In this world, there was a saying about serving tea to a guest.

But Qin Tianhai had already served three cups of tea, and yet the young man below seemed as if he couldn't see it, sitting there calmly like Mount Tai.

"Uncle, it's only the fourth time," Chen Youshang said with a smile.

"No need to call me uncle. The relationship between the Qin family and the Chen family is not that close. Just call me Patriarch Qin," Qin Tianhai waved his hand and said lightly.

"I apologize for my presumption. Patriarch Qin, please forgive me," Chen Youshang smiled, but a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.

The Chen family's strength was not weak. Like the Qin family, they were also based in Fallen Leaf City, but they had been a bit bleak in the past few hundred years, going from the top family to second place. However, even though they were somewhat low-key, the Chen family was still not something that the upstart Qin family could compare to.

In Chen Youshang's eyes, he had already given Qin Tianhai enough face by visiting three times.

If Qin Tianhai was sensible, then fine.

But if the other party was not sensible, he wouldn't mind personally taking action to destroy the Qin family after Qin Tianhai's passing.

"Patriarch Qin, regarding the matter I brought up earlier, I wonder how you've considered it?" Chen Youshang's smile was bright as he asked.

Throughout Fallen Leaf City, there were rumors that the eldest daughter of the Qin family, Qin Xueyi, was as beautiful as a celestial maiden, like a fairy descending to the mortal world. However, the problem was that hardly anyone had actually seen her, and Chen Youshang was no exception.

But that didn't matter to him…

Regardless of Qin Xueyi's appearance, his goal was to swallow the Qin family and control the entire Fallen Leaf City.

Even if Qin Xueyi was repulsive, he would hold his nose and marry her first.

If it came to that…

After taking over the Qin family, he could divorce her.

"If Young Patriarch Chen is still here today for the matter of seeking marriage, then Young Patriarch Chen can leave now," Qin Tianhai said in a stern voice.

"Hmm?" Chen Youshang's brows furrowed as he asked, "Patriarch Qin, why is that?"

In the previous times, although Qin Tianhai had also refused him, he had never been so straightforward. Today was the first time.

In the back of his mind, Chen Youshang had a bad premonition.

"Not to hide anything from Young Patriarch Chen, my daughter will be engaged to the eldest son of the Li Family not long from now," Qin Tianhai said slowly.

"The Li Family?" Chen Youshang pondered for a moment and said coldly, "The Li Family of Tianyuan City?"

"That's right," Qin Tianhai nodded.

Seeing Qin Tianhai's response, Chen Youshang's heart sank.

Sure enough, the worst case scenario had happened.

At this critical moment, another powerful family, the Li Family, had suddenly appeared and intercepted him.

The Li Family of Tianyuan City was not a small force; they had a profound background and had been established for thousands of years, so their strength was formidable.

If it wasn't necessary, the Chen Family didn't want to provoke the Li Family.

However, at this moment, it was crucial for them to swallow the Qin Family.

As long as they could absorb the Qin Family, the Chen Family wouldn't mind confronting the Li Family of Tianyuan City.

Thinking of this, Chen Youshang's eyes flickered, and he coldly said, "Does Patriarch Qin forget that Tianyuan City is tens of thousands of miles away from Fallen Leaf City?"

"Or do you think that the Li Family can protect the Qin Family?"

"What do you mean?" Qin Tianhai's eyes narrowed, and an overwhelming aura spread out like a mountain, pressing down on everyone in the hall.

Feeling the pressure, Chen Youshang's expression changed.

Fortunately, at this critical moment, a black-clothed old man behind him stepped forward and helped him offset the pressure.

This black-clothed old man was a guardian of the Chen Family, and his strength was not weak. Although he couldn't compare to Qin Tianhai, it was not difficult for him to neutralize the pressure.

"It's just a figure of speech," Chen Youshang said, recovering his composure and speaking lightly.

"Are you threatening me?" Qin Tianhai's face turned iron-blue. With his hand behind his back, the tendons on the back of his hand bulged. Several times he wanted to strike directly and kill the other party on the spot. However, he restrained himself from acting impulsively in the hall of the Qin Family, especially with the black-clothed old man behind Chen Youshang.

At the same time, outside the hall, behind a man-made mountain, Qin Xueyi stood there in a white dress, elegantly and otherworldly. Her cold eyes were fixed on the scene inside the hall.

"This Chen Youshang deserves to die!" Qin Xueyi spoke softly, her words sounding plain, but they contained a chilling killing intent.

"Miss, be careful of being overheard. We're too close," the maid named Xiaohuan reminded in a timely manner.

"Don't worry. They can't see us or hear what we say," Qin Xueyi said, pointing to the several spirit stones she had just tossed down.

With the experience of ten thousand years of cultivation from her previous life, at least now she was confident that the illusion array she casually set up could make it impossible for anyone in Fallen Leaf City to see through it, even her own father.

"When did Miss start learning up formations?" Xiaohuan scratched her head, a little puzzled. It seemed that since last night, Miss had become a bit different, but she couldn't figure out exactly how.

Considering what Miss had just said, Xiaohuan felt it necessary to remind her.

To avoid her impulsively killing the Chen Family's Young Patriarch, which would cause a big trouble.

"Miss, in a few days, the Young Master of the Li Family will arrive. As long as you get married, the Li Family will extend a helping hand to our Qin Family. By then…" Xiaohuan began to speak, but she didn't finish her sentence.

Outside the Qin residence, a servant rushed in quickly.

"Reporting to the patriarch, the Young Master of the Li Family has arrived!"
