CH 10

“Brother, let’s go out!”

With eyes full of anticipation, Qin Hao looked at his brother, hoping that Qin Feng would take him outside to play.

“Go out to play?”

Qin Feng couldn’t help but roll his eyes. His brother had too much faith in him.

As the hope of the Qin family, both brothers were under constant and perfect protection. Despite being eight years old, Qin Feng had never stepped foot outside the confines of their clan.

Of course, he also never had the need to leave.

It wasn’t that the Qin family’s ancestors prohibited him from leaving; it was simply because their clan was enormous.

Being the foremost family in Huang Gu, aside from enjoying the protection of their old ancestors, they also boasted a lineage of over ten million people, all residing within the same city.

Adding in the clan’s mindset of inheriting martial arts, every single member of the Qin family was a cultivator, which aided in forging their status as the leading family in Huang Gu.

With such strength, there was hardly a reason to venture beyond the borders of the Qin family unless there were special circumstances.

In fact, it was precisely due to their martial prowess that their clan was considered the real masters of the eastern part of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The people living here might be oblivious to the existence of the Great Xia Royal family, but they couldn’t not know the Qin family’s prominence.

“Brother!!”

Qin Hao pitifully shook Qin Feng’s arm, trying to use his sympathy to achieve his goal.

It was a pity that Qin Feng remained resolute even with this sight, though he couldn’t be certain if he could maintain his resolve if it were a little sister.

However, to ensure a perfect childhood for his second brother, he chose to nod in approval. After instructing his brother to wait for him outside the city, he went to inform their mother.

“That’s amazing!!”

Unaware of the evils of humanity, Qin Hao happily skipped away.

“Mother, second brother is running away from home!!”

Qin Feng instantly switched from his gentle big brother mode to his shrewd mode, galloping into the house to snitch on Qin Hao to Yun Xi Yue.

“Ding dong! Master has been detected to have framed the Chosen One. You have obtained 200 villain points.”

The surrounding guards were emotionless, having grown accustomed to such events.

For the past five years, Qin Feng had fucked over his brother with all kinds of ploys. If they were right, the next thing the young master would do was to hand over a feather duster to the madam.

After a brief moment—

Yun Xi Yue stormed out and dragged Qin Hao back angrily, holding onto him as if she were holding a little chick.

Qin Feng returned to his gentle big brother mode, explaining as if his heart was aching, “Mother, please don’t be upset. I was the one who promised my second brother that I’ll bring him out to play. He wasn’t running away from home!”

“Yeah, yeah!”

Qin Hao nodded his tiny head vigorously, looking at his big brother with grateful eyes.

However, the more Qin Feng tried to explain, the more doubts arose in their mother’s mind.

She believed that her eldest son doted on his brother too much, and he chose to take the blame to save his brother from being beaten.

She couldn’t understand how these two twins could be so different. While the older son was obedient and mature, the younger son was unruly and mischievous, a child capable of tearing down an entire house if left unbeaten for three days.

“Can’t you learn from your brother? You only know how to create trouble……”

Activating her stern mother mode, Yun Xi Yue started to lecture Qin Hao.

Unbeknownst to her were the bizarre movements Qin Feng was making to his younger brother behind her back, causing the five-year-old child to burst into laughter.

Ha ha……

Unable to contain his amusement any longer, Qin Hao’s laughter ignited Yun Xi Yue’s anger, which she had previously managed to calm down. So, she started to brainwash herself.

‘This is my son. As his mother, I can’t get angry at him, let alone beat the shit out of him. If I make him cry, I’m the one who has to console him. If I injure him, I’m the one who has to nurse him back to health. Raising him hasn’t been easy considering the troubled labour I had during his birth.’

‘It must be my fault for not teaching him well. I was the incapable one, as I did something wrong. A filial son comes from underneath a stick, and an unfilial son comes from the tip of a chopstick.’

‘Compromise makes resolving conflicts easier. I can’t bear it any further, and there’s no need to bear it. If I don't break out in silence, I will perish in silence. I can no longer control the prehistoric power within my body……’

Looking at the sight of Qin Hao, who was still laughing idiotically, Yun Xi Yue’s brainwashing failed.

“Mother, mother, second brother is still just a child!!”

Qin Feng pretended to be a good person as he ran forward to stop her, but a cane was somehow conveniently in his hands.

“Move! As your mother, I will teach him a lesson today!”

In anger, she conveniently took the cane in Qin Feng’s hands. She couldn’t calm down without beating this unruly child at least two times.

“A cane?!”

The faces of the surrounding guards changed. This was different from the feather duster they had imagined.

Just as Qin Feng waited for the villain points to be credited to his account, bursts of music suddenly came from the skies.

He could see a majestic troop heading their way. Nine beasts the size of mountains were pulling a luxurious carriage, and the troops that followed behind rode on flying beasts.

If a +10 enchantment gave a shining effect, then this troop was at least a +20.

“Heaven Heart City’s Lin family!”

Qin Feng realised their identities with one glance. They were the absolute controllers of the West region of Great Xia.

Unlike the traditions of the Qin family, the Lin family of Heaven Heart City was a ducal clan with countless talented individuals in their employment and an army of millions under their command, solidifying their iron rule over the Great Xia’s western region.

“I’ll teach you a lesson later!”

Yun Xi Yue glared at Qin Hao before leading the two brothers home.

At the same time, the sound of welcoming drumming rang through the Qin family’s city as a hundred thousand powerful cultivators among the clan’s disciples left the city to welcome the honoured guests from Heaven Heart City, showcasing the might of their clan.

Yun Xi Yue also changed the two brothers into formal outfits and left the city with their cheap dad, Qin Tian, to personally welcome the guests. Qin Tian exuded a magnificent aura today, his usual comical behaviour nowhere to be seen.

As he stood there, he resembled an undefeatable warrior god.

“Brother Qin Tian, it’s been a few years. I missed you to death!”

A middle-aged uncle wearing a fine outfit stepped out of the carriage and immediately walked towards Qin Tian, hugging him the moment he saw him. His mannerisms were like those of a crafty old fox.

“Brother Lin Hao, I missed you dearly as well!”

Qin Tian laughed heartily, though whether or not he was being truthful was unknown.

“Are these the twins born three years apart in brother Qin Tian’s family?!”

After a brief conversation, Lin Hao’s gaze moved to Qin Feng and Qin Hao.

His reason for embarking on this long journey to the Qin family was primarily due to these two brothers. More precisely, it was because the Qin family sought to establish an alliance with the Heaven Heart City, and he was presented with the option of choosing one of these two brothers as a potential engagement partner for his precious daughter.

The Great Xia Royal family had been in a state of panic ever since the birth of the two consecutive geniuses within the Qin family, coupled with the record-breaking cultivation speed of the two brothers in Huang Gu. In order to safeguard the stability of their royal authority, they began reaching out to other influential families to deal with the Qin family.

To protect their own interests, the Qin family had no choice but to seek allies as well.

“That’s right. This is the eldest, Qin Feng, who possesses the Qualities of God. And this is the youngest, Qin Hao, gifted with the one-in-a-million Sovereign Bones!”

Qin Tian was filled with pride as he introduced his two exceptional sons.

The birth of one genius was enough to create a steam of envy in the ancestral graves of another clan, but two absolute prodigies were born in his family.

“While there are indeed ancient records pertaining to the Sovereign Bones, the validity of the Qualities of God remains unknown.”

A haughty little girl walked out from behind Lin Hao. She was none other than the little princess of Heaven Heart City, Lin Xin’er.

Despite being only six years old, her eyebrows were sharply arched, her skin was as white as snow, and her teeth were as beautiful as pearls. It only took one look to know that she would grow up to be a beauty.

“Xin’er, do not be disrespectful!”

Lin Hao immediately rebuked her, reminding her to be mindful of her surroundings.

However, the proud little girl paid no heed to her surroundings as she locked her incisive and targeted gaze onto Qin Feng. With a snap of her fingers, she summoned a clean-looking young man around the age of fourteen.

“This is my new servant, Lin San. Do you dare to fight him to prove yourself?!”

She looked at Qin Feng provokingly.

“Lin San?!”

Qin Feng looked at the other party with curiosity. The individual had a striking appearance that defied the notion of an average supporting character……
