79: Chapter 79 Qin Chuan is ultimately not fit for the table.

Steward Qin's footsteps faltered, and his expression instantly darkened.

A threat!

This was nothing but a threat.

Did a person not recognized by the Qin Family think that just by returning, he was truly a young master of the Qin Family?

The Qin Family was a Martial Arts Family, and as the steward of the Qin Family, Steward Qin possessed considerable strength. If this were anywhere else, he would have taught Qin Chuan a lesson long ago.

But he was very clear that this was the Qin Family, and if he were to take action here, he would be breaking the rules.

Because regardless of the reason for taking action within the Qin Family, the old master would certainly be furious.

"You should be grateful that you are in the Qin Family."

After saying this, Steward Qin left directly.

Qin Chuan, however, remained expressionless; the look in his eyes as he watched Steward Qin was no different from looking at a dead man.

As for the utility room, it made no difference to Qin Chuan where he stayed; he had lived in environments even worse than this in the Cultivation World.

"Have you heard? That Qin Chuan seems to be staying in the utility room."

"No way, really? To stay in the Qin Family, he's even willing to live in the utility room?"

"Looks like he's really here to leech off our Qin Family."

"..."

The news of Qin Chuan living in the utility room spread instantly. Everyone in the Qin Family, including the servants, was discussing it, and they felt increasingly disdainful toward Qin Chuan in their hearts.

Qin Lin frowned, "That shouldn't be right. No matter what, he still has the blood of the Qin Family flowing in him. How could he be arranged to stay in the utility room?"

"Who cares!" Qin Sheng huffed.

Steward Qin sneered repeatedly, "This is merely him reaping what he sowed."

He had originally thought that Qin Chuan would resist, though it would be useless, but what Steward Qin did not expect was that Qin Chuan had no reaction at all and obediently settled into the utility room.

And he even asked me how to write the word 'death'.

Just this?

Steward Qin gave a contemptuous smile.

After Qin Lan learned that her brother was living in the utility room, she immediately rushed over.

"Brother, why did the Qin Family arrange for you to stay in the utility room?" Qin Lan was extremely angry.

"It is fine." Qin Chuan waved his hand, "For me, it makes no difference where I stay."

"I am going to tell Grandfather right now," Qin Lan said indignantly.

"Lanlan, there is no need."

Qin Chuan shook his head, "As for this grandfather of ours, if he wanted to know, he wouldn't need you to inform him at all."

"But that doesn't mean they can just let you live in the utility room!" Tears welled up in Qin Lan's beautiful eyes, "Brother, why don't we just leave the Qin Family?"

Qin Chuan rubbed his sister's head, "Let's wait until after the annual meeting. I actually want to see what the Qin Family is really planning."

Just as Qin Chuan had said, the matter of him living in the utility room had long since reached the ears of Qin De.

"How is it? My grandson hasn't resisted at all?" Qin De asked indifferently.

"Dad, no resistance," Qin Chengwen shook his head.

"Heh!" Qin De sneered, "I thought he had come to the Qin Family prepared and would at least try to fight for some benefits. I didn't expect him to be so cowardly and useless. It seems I overthought things."

"If he had tried to seize or fight for things, I would have been happy instead. In the end, he is just a piece of trash..."

As he continued, Qin De's face was filled with disappointment. For such a cowardly grandson, it was better to have none at all.

"Dad, after all, he is not a Martial Artist, and coming from that godforsaken place of Jinling, he was probably terrified upon arriving in Kyoto. How would he dare to fight or seize anything?" Qin Chengwen's words were also full of disdain.

Originally, Qin De's agreement to let Qin Chuan stay in the Qin Family had made him somewhat unhappy, as it meant one more person to share resources and one more person to compete for the position of family head in the future.

But now it seemed he had been worrying too much.

Qin Chuan... was ultimately not presentable.

"I really don't know how my second younger brother raised him to turn out like this." Qin Chengwu looked extremely disappointed.

Qin Chuan, who was currently being discussed by the entire Qin Family, was sitting cross-legged, attempting to make a Breakthrough to the Divine Sea Realm.

Streams of invisible Spiritual Qi came from all directions and poured into Qin Chuan's body. The source of this Spiritual Qi was not just the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, but also some Cultivation resources from throughout the Qin Family.

These Cultivation resources were all locked in the Qin Family's treasury, which contained many medicinal herbs over a thousand years old, Medicinal Pills, antique paintings and calligraphy, and even Magical Artifacts.

But these items were fading at a speed visible to the naked eye; the verdant green medicinal herbs slowly lost their original color, transforming into Spiritual Qi that poured into Qin Chuan's body.

It wasn't just these; many things throughout the entire treasury were fading.

The Qin Family also experienced changes; the air seemed to be trembling violently.

The first person to discover this was Qin De, and his expression changed slightly, "What is going on?"

"It seems like some terrifying existence is about to appear!" Qin Chengwen's expression changed slightly.

Everyone in the Qin Family who had originally been discussing Qin Chuan ended up discussing this instead, because the air seemed to be permeated with an extremely terrifying power.

Even Qin De felt fear from this power. He was certain that some Mysterious Expert was making a Breakthrough or practicing some Cultivation Technique.

"Father, should we investigate?" Qin Chengwen asked urgently.

"No, wait and see," Qin De said solemnly.

Today, Steward Qin went as usual to retrieve some Cultivation resources for a certain young master. These were allocated every month, including the allocation of funds.

He was a steward deeply trusted by Qin De and had grown up in the Qin Family, so he was 100% trustworthy. He also considered himself a member of the Qin Family, so he possessed the key to the Qin Family's treasury.

However, when he opened the treasury and entered, he was dumbfounded.

The matter of the treasury quickly reached Qin De. He brought his two sons and hurried to the treasury. Upon seeing that many medicinal herbs, antique paintings and calligraphy, and Magical Artifacts in the treasury had all faded, his expression changed drastically.

"How could this happen?" Qin Chengwen and Qin Chengwu exclaimed.

Qin De's expression was ugly. This treasury was the foundation of the Qin Family. Although not everything had faded, this was truly a heavy loss.

"Investigate! Investigate it for me!"

When the foundation of the Qin Family was shaken, Qin De naturally could not let it go.

Even if it meant offending that great expert, he would investigate it to the end!

How could the Qin Family know that Qin Chuan, whom they looked down upon, was frantically absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Qi? The reason he was willing to stay in this utility room was because there were usually no people here, so even if some abnormalities occurred while charging toward the Divine Sea, no one would notice.

One day later.

Qin Chuan opened his eyes and sighed with slight helplessness. He had almost broken through to the Divine Sea, but it was still because the Spiritual Qi was insufficient. He had drained the entire foundation of the Qin Family, and it was still not enough.

"It seems I have to look for other methods," Qin Chuan muttered.

At the same time.

Southern Frontier.

At the foot of a mountain.

"Big Brother, do Elder Yinshan and Huyan Jue really live on this mountain?" a younger man asked curiously.

Beside him was an older middle-aged man, his expression carrying a hint of maturity and steadiness, "There can be no mistake. When has the intelligence of our Xiao Family ever been wrong?"

"This mountain looks really eerie," the young man gazed at the peak and couldn't help but shiver.

The middle-aged man said with a rather serious expression, "Because this place is called Yinshan!"
