7: The Qin family, the villain, arrives? The two families fight for it!

Another three months passed, and Chen Xuan's cultivation remained stagnant.

This was because, in the early stages, he could no longer Cultivate with Lin Shuiyao, while Lin Shuiyao could sit and Cultivate on her own, and her cultivation had now surpassed Chen Xuan's, reaching Qi Refining Fourth Layer.

The maid Azi had also been living a very comfortable life these past few months. Four months ago, Mr. Chen asked her to come over every day. It turned out he was giving her special treatment, letting her eat nutritious food.

Later, she didn't even need to take care of Lin Shuiyao; she was arranged far away and had nothing much to do. After a few months, she even gained a little weight and became even more radiant.

"Husband, stop listening. It's only been three months, there's no movement yet!" Lin Shuiyao looked at her young husband helplessly at this moment. She wanted to Cultivate properly but couldn't!

At this moment, the bored Chen Xuan was bending down, pressing his ear to her lower abdomen, wanting to hear the baby's movements.

"Hehe, I'm just idle with nothing to do, so I wanted to hear our child's movements," Chen Xuan said with a smile, standing up and speaking to Lin Shuiyao.

Lin Shuiyao rolled her eyes at him, then took out a Medicinal Pill and handed it to him: "Husband, if you take this Medicinal Pill, you should be able to Breakthrough."

"Is this… a Qi Gathering Pill?" Chen Xuan was stunned, taking the Medicinal Pill. "How did you get it?"

"I had it left over from when I still had cultivation back then, but later I had no cultivation and couldn't open my own Storage Pouch, so it was just left there."

"So that's how it is, but this Medicinal Pill isn't very useful to me; I've already tried it."

After speaking, Chen Xuan pulled out a top-grade Qi Gathering Pill from somewhere.

"Is this a top-grade Qi Gathering Pill?!" Lin Shuiyao exclaimed.

"Oh, my mind! If you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten to give it to you."

Chen Xuan took the Medicinal Pill and stuffed it into Lin Shuiyao's hand.

Lin Shuiyao still wanted to decline, but Chen Xuan directly patted her and left immediately. He was afraid he couldn't control himself and would cause some undesirable consequences.

"This young husband…" Lin Shuiyao rubbed her backside, but her heart was sweet. The luckiest thing in her life was probably meeting Chen Xuan. At this moment, she was even happier than ever before.

Just as Chen Xuan had walked out of Lin Shuiyao's room, Azi came trotting over.

"N-not good, Mr. Chen, people from the Qin Family Main Branch are here!"

"Qin Family Main Branch? What are they doing here?" Chen Xuan was slightly puzzled.

After all, in novel plots, it's usually only after the protagonist returns that the protagonist's group is subjected to various difficulties by the villains. Normally, they should be in a quantum state, only existing when observed.

However, for Chen Xuan, the enemy of his enemy is a friend. If possible, he really didn't want to confront the Qin Family people. But if they dared to provoke him and Lin Shuiyao, then there would be no room for discussion.

"This servant isn't sure, but I saw many of them. How about we hide?" Azi said timidly.

"No need. I want to see what they're here for!" Chen Xuan pulled Azi aside and walked over alone.

Although he was only at Qi Refining Third Layer at this moment, he had prepared trump cards for himself before his cultivation was crippled. If the Qin Family dared to be presumptuous, he would let them experience the art of explosion.

Chen Xuan quickly arrived at the front courtyard and saw the Qin Family members sitting in the courtyard.

Many people from the Qin Family Main Branch had arrived, led by the Qin Family Patriarch, Qin Minghao, with a group of Qin Family Elders and some Family juniors standing behind him.

Their arrival made the entire courtyard feel somewhat oppressive.

Chen Xuan walked forward calmly: "Greetings, Qin Family Patriarch. May I ask what brings you here this time?"

Qin Minghao sat in the chair, his eyes fixed on Chen Xuan, giving off a feeling of being seen through. However, Chen Xuan remained composed, feeling no pressure at all.

"You must be Mr. Chen Xuan, right? A pleasure, a pleasure!" Qin Minghao grinned, his old face crinkling like a chrysanthemum.

Chen Xuan: "???"

"Mr. Chen, don't misunderstand. We are not here to cause trouble, but to discuss an important matter," Qin Minghao stroked his beard.

Chen Xuan thought for a moment, and it was true. Generally, some nameless supporting characters would first provoke the protagonist, then the younger ones would be defeated, and the older ones would come, escalating step by step. But this time, the Qin Family Patriarch had come directly, clearly with an ulterior motive.

"Speak freely."

"I heard that Little Friend was once a great cultivator of the Golden Core Stage, but for some reason, you lost it…"

"How did you know?" Chen Xuan frowned.

Even Qin Feng probably wouldn't tell the Qin Family Main Branch about such a thing; at most, he would vaguely tell the Qin Family that his Senior Brother was staying at his home and to avoid causing trouble.

"Little Friend, don't be anxious. This matter was spoken by the Jin Family Patriarch, Jin Dafu, when he was drunk, and we merely found out. We have absolutely no ill intentions in coming here!"

"Then Qin Family Patriarch, just speak directly; there's no need for pleasantries!"

"Then I'll be direct. I want Little Friend Chen to give some guidance to my Qin Family juniors!" Qin Minghao pointed to the group of Qin Family Disciples who had accompanied him.

There was no other way. Currently, among the four great Families in Flame Feather City, his Qin Family was at the bottom. In the younger generation, only Qin Feng, a collateral branch member, had been chosen by a major Sect!

And none of the other younger generation had been able to Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, which worried him greatly. He didn't have many days left, and now, seeing the entire Qin Family about to decline, he had to do something about it.

"Little Friend, don't rush to refuse. As long as Little Friend sees anything in the Qin Family that you like, just tell this old man. My Qin Family…"

"I think you should shut up, old man! How your Qin Family treated Qin Feng, my Liu Family knows very well. How can Little Friend Chen, as Qin Feng's Senior Brother, work with you?!" A rough voice came.

"Liu Tianlin, you have no right to speak here. Who let you into my Qin Family!" Qin Minghao, seeing the newcomer, directly released his Foundation Establishment Completion Aura.

"Your impoverished Qin Family's guards cannot stop this old man. Since your Qin Family came first, Little Friend Chen has probably already learned your purpose. Then this old man won't say much more. My Liu Family can also offer the same conditions as the Qin Family!"

"But I still want to remind Little Friend, his Qin Family Main Branch has tormented your good Junior Brother Qin Feng since childhood. It seems they are not good people, and my Liu Family…"

"Silence! Liu Tianlin, I think you old fellow are tired of living, daring to slander us on my Qin Family's territory!" Qin Minghao was furious.

Liu Tianlin chuckled: "What? What I said is the truth. As for your mere Qin Family, I, Liu Tianlin, have never feared you!"

"Come on, old man, today I'll make you walk out horizontally!"

Chen Xuan watched this scene, but his heart was clear. The Qin Family was the last among the four great Families, and the Liu Family was second to last. They were both equally matched, so they were both scrambling to get him to guide some juniors.

"Please don't argue, both of you. When I came, Junior Brother Qin entrusted me to take good care of Yao Yao… *cough cough*, to take good care of his mother. So I apologize, Patriarch Liu, I cannot go to your Liu Family.

Liu Tianlin frowned, about to say something, but was interrupted by Chen Xuan.

"However, you can let the Liu Family's Disciples come here to learn. I have no objection, and neither does the Qin Family."

"Haha, Little Friend is truly thoughtful; this old man has no objection!" Liu Tianlin laughed heartily after hearing Chen Xuan's suggestion.

"Little Friend Chen, this…" Qin Minghao still wanted to say something, but finally closed his mouth.

Although Chen Xuan doing this would make the Liu Family stronger, both Families were currently weak, and if they could unite through Chen Xuan in the future, it might be better!

"It's just the tuition fee…"
