14: Chapter 14 Let your daughter be my maid

"Family Head, why are we returning to this Spiritwind City?"

At the entrance of Spiritwind City, a member of the Yang Family asked Yang Tianchuan, their tone filled with confusion.

Other clansmen also looked towards Yang Tianchuan, obviously harboring confusion in their hearts as well.

"With so many of us clansmen, where can we run to? Aside from returning to Spiritwind City, I cannot think of any other destination."

Yang Tianchuan sighed and said. With so many members of the Yang Family, they would attract attention wherever they went, unless they dispersed the clansmen and let them fend for themselves.

When he left Black Cloud City, he had left eyes and ears in the city. Two days ago, he received news that the major powers of Black Cloud City all knew that their Family had obtained a millennial zhu fruit, and now they were all pursuing them. Returning to Spiritwind City was to fight for a sliver of survival for the Family.

"You all take the clansmen to the old residence first; I will make a trip to the Qin Mansion."

Yang Tianchuan said to several Yang Family clansmen. Although the Yang Family had moved away from Spiritwind City, the Yang Mansion had been left behind and not sold.

"Family Head, are you thinking of begging the Qin Family? Will they help? You must know that the relationship between us is not good..."

An Elder of the Yang Family said worriedly.

"There is no other way; we must at least try."

Yang Tianchuan gritted his teeth and said softly. He was not certain he could obtain the protection of the Qin Family, but he had to try. If it really did not work, he would have no choice but to disperse these Yang Family clansmen and let them flee for their lives individually, then regroup once his son had grown up.

...

Inside the main hall of the Qin Mansion.

Qin Xiao sat in the head seat, receiving Yang Tianchuan who had come to seek help. At this moment, his expression was very strange; he did not know why Yang Tianchuan would come to his Qin Family, considering the other party had been gone for over a year.

"Why have you come to our Qin Family?"

Qin Xiao asked suspiciously, his tone filled with confusion.

"I am here to ask for your help, Uncle Qin!"

Yang Tianchuan walked forward a few steps, gritted his teeth, then knelt on the ground and said to Qin Xiao.

"Uncle Qin?"

Hearing Yang Tianchuan call him Uncle Qin, Qin Xiao also had a strange look on his face. They had to know that the relationship between their two families previously was not very good; the Yang Family had even been forced to leave by his Qin Family. Yet, this Yang Tianchuan was actually calling him Uncle and wanted to seek his help? Was there some mistake?

"Are you mistaken? Given the relationship between our two families, you actually came to my Qin Family to seek help?"

Qin Xiao asked Yang Tianchuan in surprise, not really understanding Yang Tianchuan's train of thought—seeking aid from an opponent?

"I heard from my father that our Yang and Qin families used to have a good relationship, but later a small misunderstanding occurred, which led to..."

Yang Tianchuan thought for a moment and said!

"Stop, stop, stop! Do you know why our two families had a misunderstanding in the past?"

Qin Xiao continued to ask. From the memories of the original body, he understood the whole process of the two families going from Family friends to enemies; it could not be said who was right or wrong. It was just a conflict that broke out for the sake of profit. Spiritwind City was only so big, and the cake was only so big; who would not want to eat more?

"I am not very clear!"

Yang Tianchuan was silent for a moment, then said.

"Alright! Just say why you want to come to my Qin Family for help, and what price you can pay?"

Hearing Yang Tianchuan's answer, Qin Xiao was immediately amused, then spoke slowly, directly interrupting the other party's attempt to play the emotional card.

"Our Yang Family obtained a millennial zhu fruit, and the news accidentally leaked to those major powers in Black Cloud City. They are currently rushing towards Spiritwind City..."

Yang Tianchuan said slowly!

"You actually obtained a millennial zhu fruit?"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Qin Xiao, who then looked at him with a burning gaze.

This treasure, the millennial zhu fruit, was useful even to him; it could increase his strength and improve his Aptitude. Even if he did not use it, giving it to his two sons could create an expert in the Innate Realm.

"That millennial zhu fruit has already been consumed by my son."

Seeing Qin Xiao's burning gaze, Yang Tianchuan's scalp went numb, and he quickly spoke.

"Then why did you still come to my Qin Family?"

Upon learning that the millennial zhu fruit had already been consumed, Qin Xiao's expression immediately turned cold, and he said, "You have already consumed the item, so why are you still coming to my Qin Family? To show off?"

"Or do you want my Qin Family to block disaster for you?"

Thinking of this, the look Qin Xiao gave Yang Tianchuan immediately became unfriendly.

"This..."

Hearing Qin Xiao's unfriendly tone, Yang Tianchuan immediately broke out in a cold sweat, not knowing what to say, because what he had done was indeed not honorable. He had taken the benefits himself but wanted others to help them block the disaster; no one would be willing to do that.

"As long as Uncle Qin is willing to help our Yang Family survive this difficult hurdle, our Yang Family is willing to become a vassal of the Qin Family in the future and obey the orders of the Qin Family."

Qin Xiao fell into deep thought after hearing the bargaining chip Yang Tianchuan brought out. Honestly, the bargaining chip Yang Tianchuan offered did not really move him, because the other party becoming a vassal of his Qin Family was only temporary. Once his son made a Breakthrough to the Innate Realm, would they still continue to listen to his Qin Family?

This kind of thing was obvious without even thinking; they would definitely turn hostile at that time. Right now, they were just looking for a backer.

However, would Qin Xiao be afraid of the other party turning hostile? Definitely not! Once they sought refuge with his Qin Family, how could he possibly let them escape from his palm?

Furthermore, protecting the other party was just a small effort and would not cost much energy at all. Yet, this way, he could obtain a large amount of free labor, which could provide great help to their Qin Family's development of Spiritwind City; it was a good thing.

"It is not impossible to want to obtain the protection of my Qin Family. I have two conditions. First, your Yang Family must serve my Qin Family for 20 years; during these 20 years, you must absolutely obey our orders. Second, let your daughter be my maid and serve me by my side."

Qin Xiao said slowly. He had learned that this daughter of Yang Tianchuan and his cheap foster son Ye Tian had a pretty good relationship, which could be described as childhood sweethearts; in the future, they might develop into a pair of lovers. He wondered if he could obtain qi luck value after snatching her away.

"What, Uncle Qin, I agree to the first condition, but can this second one..."

Hearing that Qin Xiao wanted his precious daughter to be a maid, Yang Tianchuan was stunned, so he quickly spoke.

"If you are not willing, then you can leave."

Not giving Yang Tianchuan the right to bargain, Qin Xiao said coldly. Anything he wanted, he would obtain at all costs.

If this Yang Tianchuan did not agree, then he would just have to watch the Yang Family be slaughtered, and then he would make his move to achieve his goal. If necessary, he could even be the first to act; anyway, he was not a good person.

"Don't, don't! Uncle Qin, don't let your Life Qi flare up, I agree!"

Seeing Qin Xiao's expression, Yang Tianchuan knew that he had no right to refuse. Unless he was willing to abandon the entire clan for his daughter, he had to agree.
