8: Chapter 8 Confessing to My Sister

"You big pervert, you're even targeting a married woman; I need to stay further away from you."

As she spoke, Qin Yushang immediately retreated a few steps, fearful that this guy would break his bottom line again and start targeting her too.

"Hey, Xiao Shang, don't go, I have something to tell you."

"Let go, let go! Qin Yun, you aren't planning to make a move on me, are you? I'm telling you, if you lay a hand on me, Mom and Dad won't let you off!"

"Where is your mind at? Am I that kind of person?"

Although Qin Yushang and Qin Yun had no blood relation, they had grown up together; he couldn't be that depraved, could he?

Subsequently, an exquisite wooden box carved with a Qilin pattern appeared in Qin Yun's hand, and he stuffed it directly into Qin Yushang's hands.

"What is this?"

"Compared to the youth retention pill and longevity pill, this is actually the gift I wanted to give you. Take a look and see if you like it."

Qin Yushang tilted her head and froze for a moment. She truly felt that her brother seemed a bit different, even though he was still lecherous inside and had broken his bottom line to harass someone else's wife.

But he wasn't as detestable as before. The slacker air about him had vanished, and looking at him now, he gave off the vibe of a refined scoundrel raised in a scholarly Family.

Uh, uh, uh, that term wasn't great either, but at least his demeanor barely passed now; it was at least better than before.

"Qin Yun, what is this thing you're giving me?"

Ever since middle school, the two had been like fire and water, unable to return to the age of childhood innocence.

Qin Yushang had originally thought the youth retention pill and longevity pill were just gifts Qin Yun prepared for their parents, and he had just brought one for her along the way, but it turned out there was a separate gift here.

"Open it and you'll know. Make sure to take it at the most critical moment, okay!"

Qin Yushang was somewhat puzzled, then opened the small wooden box. A faint medicinal fragrance wafted out, and upon seeing it, Qin Yushang's eyes were filled with immense surprise.

"This, this is... could this be... a boundary breaking pill!"

The boundary breaking pill, as the name implied, was a precious Medicinal Pill that could assist a Martial Artist in breaking through a Bottleneck, and it was far more precious than the youth retention pill or the longevity pill.

From the moment Qin Yushang saw this Medicinal Pill, her eyes held not only surprise but also a hint of shock.

"Qin Yun, this... where did you get this thing?"

"Naturally, I have my own channels!"

Qin Yun's answer filled Qin Yushang with suspicion. If it were things like the youth retention pill and the longevity pill, it might have been possible for Qin Yun to obtain them through the Qin Family's channels, but she hadn't expected Qin Yun to have a boundary breaking pill.

One had to know that all Medicinal Pills in Great Xia today came from the Tang Family. The Tang Family was a Hidden Family in Great Xia. Although their influence was not as widespread as other families, they held a Medicinal Pill auction every year.

The number auctioned each year was limited, so the top Alchemists and Medicinal Pills in all of Great Xia came from the Tang Family. According to her Master, the Tang Family only sold a thousand Medicinal Pills each year; any extra pills would be left to rot in the warehouse rather than be sold, all to maintain the scarcity of the Medicinal Pills.

Yet Qin Yun had brought out seven of them directly. It was clear that if Qin Yun were just a Dandy, it would be impossible for him to have access to such Medicinal Pill channels.

In other words, he was no longer a Dandy; he was currently working hard to change himself.

Thinking of this, ripples appeared in Qin Yushang's heart. After all, what sister would want her brother to be an incompetent Dandy!

"Qin Yun, can we talk?"

"Hmm? What does Xiao Shang want to talk to me about? It's been a long time since I went home; I've been missing Little Sister Lian'er and Little Sister Bi'er! I should go find them to catch up."

Qin Yushang's face darkened. "Cut the crap. If you don't come, from here on out, we will go our separate ways! We will never see each other again!"

"Oh my, what's all this about? Alright, alright! Your brother will talk with you. Jealous of 'romantic sisters' when you are my own sister? What a little jealous pot."

Qin Yushang slowly closed her eyes, her fists clenching involuntarily. Deep breath, deep breath, don't get angry, don't get angry; this is her own brother, blood is thicker than water!

Qin Yun's mouth curled slightly. When he first entered the room, this cheap little sister hadn't given him a good look, but these three Medicinal Pills had broken through the barrier of these past few years. How gratifying, how gratifying!

After following Qin Yushang into the room, she immediately closed the door and then turned to ask.

"Qin Yun, are you really a Dandy?"

"Xiao Shang, what do you mean by that?"

"If you were just a simple Dandy, you absolutely could not have come into contact with these Medicinal Pills. Could it be... your reputation as a Dandy was intentionally fabricated? But why? Why would you do something that has absolutely no benefit to you? Qin Yun, I don't understand you anymore."

Qin Yun smiled helplessly, then sat on the bed, his eyes filled with approving gaze.

"You've finally realized it. Not bad."

"You were actually faking it! But... but this reputation of yours, from middle school to university, that's a full ten years! Why would you pretend to be a Dandy, ruining your own reputation, alienating yourself from Mom and Dad, and becoming like fire and water with me! Why?"

Why? He wanted to know too! The jerk things the original owner did still required him to clean up the mess. There was no other way; he had to just make up some bullshit.

Now was the time he needed people, and Qin Yushang was, at the very least, one of the Female Protagonists of another plotline. Pulling her in to bolster his combat strength was definitely the right move.

"If in the eyes of my loved ones, their good son and good brother is this hopeless Dandy, then what will others think? The Qin Family cake is huge, and everyone wants a bite. So, little sister, as long as I act like a Dandy, it will make our Qin Family's enemies lower their guard, allowing for a decisive strike."

Qin Yushang couldn't believe it. "Qin Yun, you're confused. With the Qin Family's current status, what enemies could there be!"

One couldn't blame Qin Yushang for being proud; the Qin Family truly had the capital to be proud. The Qin Family's influence and industries were spread across the country, with involvement in entertainment, medicine, real estate, and information networks.

To put it bluntly, with the foundation they had laid, as long as future generations didn't try to start new businesses, even if they spent every day eating, drinking, and having fun for several generations, the Qin Family wouldn't collapse.

Qin Yun smiled slightly at this moment, then revealed his cultivation of Bright Energy, his voice becoming a bit more steady and cold.

"In Jiangcheng, the Qin Family is indeed the heavens. Even the other three families are far from being able to compare to us. But Xiao Shang, you should know that this world has another side. In front of those powerful Ancient Martial Artists, our hundreds of billions in assets are worth nothing. Furthermore, yesterday's attack on the Qin Family's industries by overseas forces was a warning. I have a premonition that the sky in Jiangcheng is about to change."

The Peak Bright Energy cultivation released by Qin Yun left Qin Yushang stunned in place. After a long while, she slowly spoke.

"Qin Yun, you are actually an Ancient Martial Artist? You've hidden it so deeply! But since you've hidden it for so long, why didn't you continue to hide it, but instead confessed to me?"

Speaking of this, Qin Yun's face showed a bit of fatigue. "Xiao Shang, I have no choice now. If it weren't a last resort, I absolutely would not be asking for your help. The attack by overseas forces makes me feel very uneasy; perhaps the Qin Family has already been targeted by others. So, if [Dandy Qin Yun] asked you, you would absolutely not agree, so I could only let [Ancient Martial Artist Qin Yun] ask you. The secret that I am an Ancient Martial Artist is known only to you."

"Me?"

Qin Yushang pointed a finger at herself. She had no idea why Qin Yun valued her so much, but thinking that this was something even Mom and Dad didn't know, yet Qin Yun specifically let her know, she felt a little proud inside.

And Qin Yun nodded at this moment, gently hugging Qin Yushang.

Qin Yushang stiffened for a moment. She subconsciously wanted to push Qin Yun away, but feeling the fatigue coming from his face, she gently put down her raised little hands.

"Qin... Brother, you look so exhausted, is there anything I need to do?"

"Xiao Shang, I hope you can help me contact your Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters to come to the Qin Family as guests, can you?"

First, get Qin Yushang's Senior Sisters to come over, then build a good relationship with them. As long as they were there, even if a few more protagonists of destiny came, the Qin Family would be able to stand firm.
