Chapter 223 Old Qin Family
At dawn the next day, Qin Shaochen took a carriage and went to visit Qin Chaotian.
After being notified, he soon saw Qin Chaotian in the meeting hall.
Qin Chaotian's face didn't look good, but when he saw Qin Shaochen coming in, he still managed a smile.
"Xiaochen, why do you have time to see me today?"
Qin Chaotian asked Qin Shaochen to sit down at the round table in the hall.
"You came just in time. I happen to have something I want to discuss with you."
"Great-grandfather, what do you want from me?"
"Two days ago, I applied to the Council of Elders to ask the old Qin family to send two more great martial artists to serve as the retinue of Yunluo Lingshi."
A trace of disappointment flashed across Qin Chaotian's face and he shook his head.
"I didn't expect those guys to refuse my proposal because they said they didn't have enough manpower."
Qin Chaotian was obviously very dissatisfied.
"In my opinion, most of those guys in the Presbyterian Church are selfish and short-sighted."
"I don't know how to plan for the future of the old Qin family."
"Yunluo Spirit Master is the one with the best qualifications among the juniors. At the same time, he is also the Spirit Master who is most likely to succeed in building a foundation in the future."
"Once the foundation is successfully established, the Old Qin family can become a second-level cultivation family. How important that is!"
"Taking a step back, even if you can't advance successfully in the future, you can at least easily reach the ninth level of Qi Refining, the Great Perfection."
"It is also of great significance to the development of the Lao Qin family."
"But what's the result? Because of their different factions, those guys are unwilling to send more great martial arts followers to Yunluo Lingshi."
"How shameless!"
While talking and shaking his head, Qin Chaotian kept complaining.
"The current internal strife in the Old Qin family is simply more serious than the external strife. If it continues like this, it will gradually decline and eventually be hopeless!"
"But no matter what I say, those guys are just...!"
At this point, I couldn't say anything anymore and kept feeling angry.
When Qin Shaochen heard these things, he was naturally dissatisfied.
Of course he knew better that after his little sister came to Lao Qin's house, she did not receive the attention she deserved.
On the contrary, they were either overtly or covertly squeezed out by some forces.
As for the last assassination, if the old Qin family sent two more great martial arts masters to accompany them, how could such a thing happen?
He wouldn't go around trying to help his little sister hire a great martial artist with his own money.
In the final analysis, the performance of the Lao Qin family was quite disappointing.
"Yes, Xiao Luo's talent is obviously second to none, why is his treatment not as good as others?"
"I think back then, my great-grandmother once said that when Xiao Luo comes to Lao Qin's house, he will definitely attract much attention and be able to obtain many cultivation resources."
"But what about reality? That's not the case at all."
He couldn't help but complain.
"Not to mention getting more resources, even ordinary resources are a bit insufficient."
"My great-aunt is just bragging."
"Alas! Don't blame her."
"She is also powerless."
Qin Chaotian shook his head and sighed, a little helpless.
"Think about it, as a senior elder, it is so difficult for me to get two more guards for Yunluo Lingshi. She is even more helpless as an idle member of the tribe."
"Alas! In one word, the old Qin family is like a piece of loose sand now."
"The river is going downhill!"
Qin Chaotian looked even more distressed when talking about these situations.
"Why doesn't Fairy Yueyu straighten herself out...?"
Qin Shaochen was a little confused.
"Rectify, what to rectify?"
"She is just a great elder, not a clan leader. Her prestige is higher. But in terms of power, she is the same as other elders."
"Is there no one in the old Qin family who can convince everyone?"
"Maybe there is one."
When Qin Chaotian heard this, he sighed slightly.
"The most prestigious person in the Old Qin family is Senior Lan who stays in the back mountain all year round."
"However, he stubbornly believes that he is just sent by his ancestors and is not a member of the Qin family."
"For the sake of fairness, he never interferes in the internal affairs of the family."
When Qin Shaochen heard this, he was a little surprised at first, and then he understood a little bit.
Lan Kui is really that kind of person.
"The strength of each clan is similar. No matter which clan wants to be the clan leader, it will inevitably be boycotted by the other two clans."
"Therefore, for so many years, the Presbyterian Council has always exercised the power of the acting patriarch. It just cannot choose a real patriarch."
"It's been a stalemate until now."
"It's difficult to change this situation!"
Qin Chaotian began to shake his head frequently, obviously very distressed.
"Anyway, the enemy has noticed Yunluo Lingshi. Her situation cannot be ignored."
"The enemy almost succeeded in the last assassination. That kind of thing must never happen again."
"The Presbyterian Church refuses to send anyone, so I will go alone."
Qin Chaotian had obviously made up his mind.
"Today, this is what I want to discuss with you."
"When you go home later, help me find a small courtyard in Ba Ye's house immediately. I will move there immediately."
Qin Shaochen was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what he was doing and quickly shook his head.
"Great-grandfather, you are always joking."
"How can you do such a thing at your age?"
"Even if I agree, my grandfather will not agree."
"Hmph! What does it have to do with whether he agrees or disagrees? It's not his turn to take care of my affairs."
Qin Chaotian started blowing his beard and staring.
"Spirit Yunluo is the last hope of the Qin family. As an elder of the Qin family for decades, I can't just watch her face danger and do nothing."
"Just go and choose a small courtyard for me. If there is no courtyard, a room will do."
Qin Shaochen shook his head and smiled bitterly, and could only persuade him.
"Great-grandfather, it is really inappropriate to do this. If you really do this, our Eighth House will be scolded to death by the clan members."
"Besides, if you go to be a guard for Xiaoluo, Xiaoluo will be scared and probably won't even dare to go out."
Qin Chaotian was stunned. Thinking about it, it was the same reason, and he couldn't help but get a little anxious.
"Doesn't the old man do anything?"
"Watching Old Lan struggling in the back mountain. I, a great martial artist, just stay at home and eat and drink well, and enjoy the fruits of others' labor?"
"I can't live in peace in such a day!"
After speaking, he stood up and walked around in the hall, obviously a little impatient.
Qin Shaochen looked at the anxious look of the great-grandfather, and his heart moved.
"Great-grandfather, if you want to contribute to the family, there are actually better ways. There is no need to run to be Xiao Luo's bodyguard."
"Do you have a good idea?"
"Tell me now!"
Qin Chaotian was refreshed when he heard this.
At the same time, he stopped.
"Great-grandfather, I want to ask you, if your eldest house is much stronger, can it change the current situation of the old Qin family?"
"What?"
Qin Chaotian was a little puzzled.
"I mean, if the strength of the eldest house can suppress the other two houses, can it elect a clan leader?"
Qin Chaotian understood a little.
"In the world of cultivation, strength is respected. If the strength of the eldest house suppresses the other two houses, it can indeed change this situation."
"But unfortunately, our eldest house's fairy Yueyu was injured in her early years, and the injury was serious. After years of recuperation, there are still troubles."
Speaking of this, he shook his head again.
"In any case, she can't go any further."
"I'm not talking about Fairy Yueyu, but you."
Qin Chaotian couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Me? If I can advance to the next level, do you think I don't want to?"
"These years, I have spent some time in seclusion every year, hoping to find a chance to break through."
"Unfortunately, every year is in vain, and every year is more disappointing."
Qin Chaotian sighed.
"Breakthroughs require talent, and the little talent I have has been exhausted decades ago."
"But why did I hear that there is a kind of elixir that can help the great martial artist break through successfully."
Qin Chaotian took a breath and shook his head more vigorously.
"You are talking about the Zong Dan."
"That kind of elixir does help the great martial artist break through to the Grandmaster level."
"But that kind of elixir may not even be available in the royal family. Where can an ordinary cultivation family like us find it?"
"That method is even more fantastic!"
Qin Shaochen smiled mysteriously, leaned forward slightly, and suddenly lowered his voice and said:
"What if..., I happen to have one!"
Qin Chaotian was stunned.
"You have?"
"Xiaochen, are you kidding me?"
Qin Shaochen moved closer.
"Great-grandfather, you are four generations older than me. Do you think I would joke with you about this?"
"You are not kidding?"
Qin Chaotian was still confused.
"If you are not kidding, what are you doing?"
Qin Shaochen was a little speechless and had to shake his head.
He took out the wooden box from his arms, opened it, and pushed it in front of Qin Chaotian.
"I know it's hard to believe this kind of thing, you should see it with your own eyes!"
