3: Even tigers don't eat their cubs, my fiancée

Qin Wushang's gaze swept over Ye Luoshui's "distressed" face, then over Qin Zhantian's "helpless" eyes, finally settling on Qin Wuchen's barely concealed greed.

"Shang'er~"

Ye Luoshui's eyes were misty.

"This...no, Mother didn't mean that. It's just that I want your Supreme Bone for your younger brother, not to drive you out of the house...Mother truly didn't mean that!"

Her idea was to use Qin Wushang's Supreme Bone to make Qin Wuchen even more formidable.

Afterward, she would stay at home, cultivate mother-son affection with Qin Wushang, and guide him onto the path of cultivation.

"No need! Everything here...I'm tired of it. The struggles here, I'm also weary of them."

"This is my only request. If even this cannot be granted, then the Supreme Bone..."

Qin Wushang's words trailed off halfway.

The four people had different expressions. Qin Hao couldn't care less about that anymore, stepping forward and saying, "Alright! This is a knife, and these are Medicinal Pills for healing. After you dig out the Supreme Bone and your injuries heal, you'll be sent down to the business firm to be a manager!"

"Clan Chief! This!!!"

Ye Luoshui frowned, tugging at her husband's sleeve, wanting the head of the household to speak.

"Since you have no intention of contending for the Great Dao, then as the Clan Chief said, dig out the bone and go work at the business firm. As for leaving the Qin Clan, don't mention it again!"

Qin Zhantian said.

He was, after all, a Saint King expert renowned throughout the Empire; how could he be criticized for abandoning his wife and son?

What if this fellow left the Qin Clan and slandered them everywhere?

"Good!"

Qin Wushang nodded.

He would take one step at a time. At worst, on the way to the business firm, he would seize the opportunity to escape the Qin Clan.

Anyway, according to Qin Wuchen's personality, he would definitely make a move halfway and find someone to kill him.

This was the best opportunity to leave the Qin Clan!

With his past life's experience and the System, a mere Qin Clan would just be Materials for his Myriad Soul Banner in the future.

He took the knife and glanced at the four people.

"Shang'er~"

Ye Luoshui still wanted to say something, but Qin Zhantian pulled her back.

"Pfft!"

The knife fell, following the old scar, directly cutting open his chest and gouging out a dazzling bone.

That was the Supreme Bone!

It was only thumb-sized, crystal clear, and etched with ancient Heavenly Runes.

"Your kindness of birth, and twenty years of lodging, today I repay you with this Supreme Bone!"

"From now on, we owe each other nothing!"

As he spoke, he directly threw the Supreme Bone to Qin Wuchen.

The knife fell to the ground, and he didn't even glance at the Medicinal Pills!

"When I go to the business firm, I will be compensated according to the Disciple's share. I will receive as many Spirit Stones as the work I do!"

Qin Wushang turned around and added another sentence.

He staggered out of the main hall, the blood flowing from his chest staining each departing footprint red.

"Shang'er...Shang'er..."

Ye Luoshui looked at that resolute back, unable to help but call out, two streaks of tears on her cheeks.

He was, after all, her own flesh and blood. Although they hadn't spent much time together, seeing this scene...her heart still ached!

But as soon as she thought of Qin Wushang's indifferent eyes, she stopped her urge to chase after him.

"Mother! Don't worry! Once I achieve Fusion with the Supreme Bone, I will definitely sweep through all the young people of my generation. Then I'll find an opportunity to talk to Big Brother, make him let go of his grudges, and bring him back so our family can be reunited!"

Qin Wuchen said in a low voice.

"Mm...Chen Er, Mother believes in you...After some time, when his emotions stabilize, Mother will find another opportunity to talk to him."

"You are brothers, after all, as close as siblings. You need to support each other and must never harbor grudges!"

The mother and son whispered to each other, supporting each other as they left.

Qin Zhantian frowned.

He paced back and forth, thinking about something.

"Zhantian! What do you think of this child?"

Qin Hao asked.

"This...Uncle Grandfather...I..."

Qin Zhantian hesitated to speak.

Although he was the family head, he was essentially just a figurehead. Everything in the Qin Clan was still decided by Qin Hao.

"This child has already developed hatred. If he remains mediocre his whole life, it would be fine. But if he encounters a turn of events, he will surely transform into a Dragon...and become a calamity for our Qin Clan by then."

"Get rid of him!"

Qin Hao said.

Cut the grass by the roots, lest it grows back with the spring breeze.

Although the possibility of Qin Wushang rising was very small, it was better to be safe than sorry.

"But...Uncle Grandfather, although this rebellious son is at odds with me, he is still my son after all!"

"Even a vicious tiger doesn't eat its cubs!!!"

Qin Zhantian said, hesitating.

He had been thinking about this matter earlier. He was a Saint King, after all; how could he not understand such a principle?

But there was still a Bloodline connection!

"You don't need to do it yourself. I'll have someone do it. As for your wife, how to arrange things, you can decide then."

Qin Hao finished speaking and left... Qin Wushang left the main hall, just thinking about whether he could quietly leave the Qin Clan when... a young girl with several servants blocked his way!

This was a very beautiful young girl!

She wore a soft, smoky-purple silk dress, with delicate silver patterns embroidered on the hem, flowing like a light cloud when she moved.

Her dark hair was loosely tied up, adorned only with a single jade hairpin, with a few strands falling by her cheeks.

Her skin was whiter than snow, her eyebrows curved like the moon, and her eyes held autumn water. She was naturally captivating without any makeup.

She's here!

Qin Wushang was a little surprised!

The person who came was his fiancée, the Young Miss of the General's Mansion, Lin Ziyao, whom he had only met a few times.

A woman who appeared harmless but was extremely ambitious!

He still remembered Lin Ziyao's words from back then.

"The Great Dao is so long, and Dao Companions should not be so few. I, Lin Ziyao, will raise all the handsome men in the world and make them bow down to me!"

This was a woman who would betray Great Chu in the future and become an Empress!

Being with her, his harem of three thousand good brothers would be fencing each other for a year without repetition!

Fortunately, she was here to break off the engagement!

It was good that he wouldn't have to wear a green hat!

"Should I say, 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't bully a young man into poverty!'"

Qin Wushang thought to himself.

In his previous life, when the engagement was broken, he was also driven out of the house. Although there were some differences now, the Supreme Bone had already been dug out. According to the System's description, the next plot point was the broken engagement.

In his previous life, he was very cowardly when the engagement was broken!

Having experienced Rebirth, he was wondering if he should show off once!

Lin Ziyao looked at Qin Wushang, who was covered in blood but still stood with a straight back. A hint of complexity and determination, unbefitting her age, flashed in her beautiful eyes.

In her previous life, she had actually missed such a handsome man... In this life, he could only be hers!

"Young Miss Lin, you are blocking my way. May I ask your intention?"

Qin Wushang spoke, interrupting Lin Ziyao's thoughts.

She looked into Qin Wushang's eyes, speaking with extreme seriousness and dominance, "This is our marriage contract. I want to marry you—now, immediately, right away."

Marry me???

Nani!

Qin Wushang's eyes widened, his expression as if asking,

You're not kidding, are you!

"Qin Wushang!!!"

"In your previous life, you confessed to so many women, but because of my one broken engagement, you refused to become my male favorite. Reborn, I must hold you in the palm of my hand!"

"Your beauty can only belong to me!"

"Those women who don't understand you are not worthy of having you!"

Lin Ziyao thought to herself, feeling delighted.

This handsome man, who would cause havoc and make countless women fall for him in the future, must be hers!

"Young Miss Lin, are you joking? Do I look like someone who can marry you right now?"

Qin Wushang retorted.

"Why can't you... Your Supreme Bone was just dug out, you weren't castrated. That part can still be enjoyed by me. Is there a problem with us getting married?"

Lin Ziyao said this with some sadness.

She was still too late!

She hadn't expected that even with Rebirth, she still couldn't prevent the fact that Qin Wushang's Supreme Bone was dug out.

"I'm just an ordinary person... no cultivation, no house, no power... and now I'm leaving the Qin Clan... a good-for-nothing who can't even support himself. Let's just break off this engagement!"

"I'm not worthy of you!"

Qin Wushang frowned.

Although he didn't know what went wrong here, to prevent himself from being cuckolded in the future and growing a pasture on his head, he decided that this fiancée was still not an option.

"As for houses, my family has plenty. The entire Yuntian City is ours. You can live wherever you want."

"You want power? That's also not a problem. At worst, I'll let my father die earlier, so you can inherit the position of General Zhen Dong."

"As for cultivation... I will definitely find the most precious great Medicinal Pills to help you restore your Dao Foundation."
