"Come in."
Qin Chuan said calmly.
Soon, three figures walked in. In front was a middle-aged man in a long green robe.
Behind the man was the burly man, Chen Sheng, and the little princess of the Chen family, Chen Biling.
"Chen Guang, the head of the Chen family, pays his respects to Master Qin Chuan."
The middle-aged man bowed to Qin Chuan and said, "My younger brother and niece didn't know their limits and offended Master Qin Chuan. Today, I brought them here to apologize."
After saying that, he gave Chen Sheng and Chen Biling a look.
"Ahem, ahem, that... I was blind earlier. Please don't take it to heart, Lord Qin Chuan."
Chen Sheng coughed dryly and revealed an awkward smile.
When he thought of the battle with Qin Chuan, he felt extremely ashamed. At that time, he thought that the other party was hesitant to go all out. But now, it seemed that he was simply showing mercy.
"This little girl, Chen Biling, pays her respects to Sir Qin Chuan."
Chen Biling bent her knees and bowed like a lady. She said in a low voice, "I was the one who offended young master Qin Zi before. Please punish me, Sir."
She lowered her eyebrows and obeyed.
Her delicate and pitiful appearance was completely inconsistent with the image of a missy who was usually unruly and willful.
"No worries."
Qin Chuan smiled and waved his hand. He said, "It's just a fight between children. I've never taken it to heart."
"Thank you, Sir Qin Chuan. Your magnanimity and kindness are really admirable."
Chen Guang said respectfully, "However, even if you don't pursue it, it doesn't mean that we can't know what's good for us. So, I also brought some gifts this time."
Qin Chuan's expression did not change at all, as if money was like dirt. He said indifferently, "I don't lack anything. There's no need for gifts."
No.
I absolutely don't want it!
Just like when a relative gave a red packet during the new year, he would definitely say 'No'. Even if he "accidentally" revealed the payment code, he would still say 'no'.
When it comes to treasures, I am not the least bit moved because I don't lack anything!
This is my attitude as an invincible expert!
"Lord Qin Chuan, there's no need to be in a hurry to decline."
Chen Guang smiled and said, "I naturally know that ordinary treasures aren't worthy of your interest. I reckon that our Chen family won't be able to take out anything that you might like."
"This time's gift is mainly for young master Qin Zi. It should be of some help to his cultivation."
As he spoke, he took out a medicinal herb that flickered with a light blue luster. There were nine leaves, and each of them was sparkling and translucent.
"This is..."
Qin Chuan frowned. He didn't seem to recognize this thing.
This was very normal.
There were thousands of spirit herbs in the world, and even those that specialized in medicinal herbs didn't dare say that they all knew it.
"This is a rare grade-five spiritual herb. It contains abundant spiritual energy and can rapidly raise one's cultivation."
"As for its name... I don't know either."
Chen Guang said with slight embarrassment, and then hurriedly explained, "But don't worry, I've sent people to try it, and there are absolutely no side effects!"
Qin Chuan glanced at his cheap son beside him and said, "Little Zi, take it."
"Okay, Dad."
Qin Zi nodded and put away the nameless herb.
"Haha, the matter is settled. We won't disturb you anymore. Goodbye."
Chen Guang smiled as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden. Then, he turned around and left with Chen Sheng and Chen Biling.
"Little Zi, send them off," Qin Chuan said.
"Okay."
Qin Zi followed them and ran out.
Soon, they arrived outside the courtyard.
"Master Chen, I want to talk to Miss Chen alone. Is that okay?"
Qin Zi said to Chen Guang.
"You... What do you want to do?" Chen Biling crossed her arms in front of her chest and showed a vigilant look.
"What can I do?"
Qin Zi curled his lips in disdain.
"Hahaha, Biling, since Young Master Qin wants to talk to you, you can talk to him. We'll leave first."
Chen Guang was stunned for a moment before laughing out loud. He pulled his younger brother and quickly left.
He understood young people too well.
No one understood young people better than him.
There was a situation.
There must be a situation!
Very soon, Chen Guang and Chen Sheng completely disappeared. Qin Zi looked at Chen Biling and asked, "Why did you help me before?"
"What? Help you? What are you talking about?"
Chen Biling widened her eyes and revealed a look of surprise.
Qin Zi's face twitched slightly. He thought to himself that he had overestimated himself. The other party actually did not want to help him?
However, since he had already started asking, it would seem a little cowardly to shrink back just like that.
Therefore, he tried his best to say calmly, "Previously in the square, you admitted defeat in public and helped me to share the pressure from Master Pang Qi."
"AH? I was just willing to admit defeat. Don't tell me you think I was doing that to help you?"
Chen Biling was stunned for a moment, then she mocked, "Aren't you being too narcissistic? Don't you know how our relationship is? How can I help you?"
Qin Zi's gaze was sharp as he looked into her eyes. He said firmly, "I don't believe that as the young lady of a big family, you don't know what your actions meant."
"If you didn't make a sound, then not only would you win the championship of the Alchemy Convention, you would also be favored by Master Pang Qi."
"And if you made a sound, not only would you get nothing, you would even offend Master Pang Qi, and you would offend him deeply."
"So... simply admitting defeat shouldn't be enough of a reason that made you do such a stupid thing."
The disdainful smile on Chen Biling's face gradually disappeared. In the end, she sighed softly and said, "Sigh, you've already seen through this..."
"That's right. I didn't do such a thing because I'm willing to admit defeat. I'm not that pedantic."
"But don't flatter yourself. I'm not doing it for you. I'm mainly doing it for myself."
Qin Zi frowned.
What did she mean?
Chen Biling looked at him and said proudly, "You still don't understand? Looks like you're a little simple-minded."
The corner of Qin Zi's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything.
Chen Biling said, "At the Alchemy Convention, the pill you refined was indeed a little more perfect than mine. Although I don't want to admit it, this is the truth."
"And that old man Pang Qi, if he really wanted to take in a disciple, then he would definitely choose you."
"But, he just didn't choose you. Instead, he didn't hesitate to cheat. He even destroyed a pill refinement genius like you and chose me."
"Hehe, for such a matter, from the perspective of others, I was lucky. But if you were to look at it from my perspective, would you be happy?"
Qin Zi frowned!
He seemed to understand.
Chen Biling smiled coldly and said, "If you're trying to curry favor for no reason, you must be up to no good! That old man Pang Qi's intentions were not simple!"
"You're saying?!"
Qin Zi suddenly looked at Chen Biling and suddenly thought of the beautiful girl's physique that his master had mentioned earlier.
"Mm, you guessed right. That old man must be trying to covet my beauty!"
Chen Biling proudly raised her head.
What?!
Qin Zi's eyes suddenly widened.
He thought that he had guessed it, but he didn't expect that he would still go astray halfway.
He took a deep breath and asked somewhat speechlessly, "Why do you think so?"
Chen Biling snorted lightly and said, "Hehe, that old man looks shifty at first glance. One look and you can tell he's an old lecher."
"Moreover, his famous pill formula is Bre*st Enhancement... Who would come up with such a pill formula?!"
When she mentioned that pill formula, her little face flushed red, as if she was a little ashamed and angry.
Qin Zi's mouth was wide open.
Bre*st Enhancement Pill?!
He had heard of this pill when he was young. It was said that many righteous gentlemen sneered at it on the surface, but secretly bought it in the dark...
Unexpectedly, this was actually Master Pang Qi's masterpiece!
It was really... a great achievement.
