The sky quickly darkened, and night fell.

Sitting at the head of the table was a middle-aged man. His hair was sparse, and he was not tall, and his entire being was extremely skinny and skinny, the most unique characteristic of which was that he had a hooked nose, a pair of very small eyes, and it was as if he had not opened his eyes yet. His entire person looked to be extremely gloomy, and his name was Qin Ying, the hall master of the Law Enforcement Hall, and was Qin Tian's Fourth Uncle.

He slowly spoke with an ear-piercing voice, as he asked the person standing below him, "Yougui, you said just now that it was that trash, Qin Tian, that is going to challenge Qin Xiaojian." There was doubt in his voice.

"Father, yes, that's right. Today, Qin Tian issued a challenge to Qin Xiaojian, and during the Qin Manor competition three months later, this news has already spread throughout the entire Qin Manor. Qin Yougui, who was standing below, said with certainty.

Hearing that, Qin Ying said: "What is this Qin Tian scheming, he is clearly a trash, yet he still dares to challenge Qin Xiaojian, is this matter related to Qin Zhenye? Yougui, you have to keep a close eye on this matter, no matter what his intentions are, we must always keep a close eye on him."

"Yes, I know. I will pay close attention to this trash, Qin Tian, at all times." Qin Yougui said loudly.

"Very good, send two first grade herb to Qin Xiaojian in the name of the clan tomorrow."

"first grade herb are so precious. Isn't it too much of a waste to gift them to Qin Xiaojian, Father?" Qin Yougui said hesitantly.

"What do you know? Give this herb to Qin Xiaojian to help him increase his strength, I want the battle three months from now to be foolproof, at that time, Qin Xiaojian's strength will soar, and if he accidentally kills Qin Tian in the competition, everyone will have nothing to say." Qin Ying laughed sinisterly.

"High, father, you're really high, I understand, this is just like saying 'I can't bear to have children around', at that time, before the competition, I can tell Qin Xiaojian, tell him not to hold back." Qin Yougui loudly agreed.

"Yougui, there are some things that you don't have to do personally, you have to hide it, understand?"

"Yes, I understand."

"If there's nothing else, then you can leave." With that, he waved and Qin Yougui left.

Qin Ying could not help but sink into deep thought, and think in his heart: Qin Zhenye, you are the strongest in the clan, I am unable to deal with you right now, but your son is now a trash. You can't protect your son for the rest of his life, and right now, your son is courting death, haha, the heavens are truly on my side.

It was dark now, and Qin Tian was sitting on his bed. He recalled that today was his first time cultivating a martial skill, and his heart was still unable to calm down for a long time. In a single day, he had already cultivated to the second form of the《 Nine Spirit Fist》. His understanding of fist techniques was also very deep. Often, he would be able to smoothly practice them and nothing would be able to stop him.

Qin Tian suppressed the joy in his heart. He sat on the bed, he knew that he was still a weakling, and there was still a long road ahead for him to walk. He could not stop his cultivation, and he could not become complacent just because of a small achievement.

Although today was exhausted, he did not want to stop his training. Three months was not a long time and it was not a short time either, he had already fallen behind Qin Xiaojian by this much, if he did not hurry, he would not be able to defeat him in three months. After using a little bit of time to calm his emotions, he sat cross-legged on his bed.

Qin Tian who was seated on the bed had a solemn expression on his face. He slowly started to circulate his technique, and a trace of the spirit energy of the heaven and earth was slowly absorbed into his body.

The spirit energy slowly flowed through his meridians, nourishing his body and making him feel so comfortable that he wanted to cry out softly.

After cultivating for a while, Qin Tian could feel that his spiritual energy was slowly increasing. He could feel the spiritual energy in his body, and he knew that his spiritual energy was not far from the peak of 1-star.

Without hesitation, he sped up the circulation of his cultivation technique, and the spirit energy of heaven and earth continued to surge into Qin Tian's body. Qin Tian used his spirit energy to control the flow of spirit energy in his meridians, and slowly, the absorption of spirit energy increased, and the amount of spirit energy in his meridians increased.

Seeing that the spirit energy in his body was increasing, Qin Tian controlled the spirit energy and rushed it into his mind.

Once the surging and surging spiritual energy reached their minds, the two primary core began to transfer and absorb spiritual energy. The endless amount of spiritual energy was absorbed by the Small Star in their minds, and they could clearly see the amount of spiritual energy within the Small Star grow.

Time passed by while he was training. Soon, an entire night had gone by.

Qin Tian opened his eyes in pleasant surprise. After a night of absorption, he was shocked to find that he had already reached the peak of a 1-star Vein Refining Stage and the Small Star spirit energy in his body had also reached its saturation point. He could not absorb any more spirit energy and it was hard for him to believe that he would reach the peak of a 1-star this quickly.

He felt his body, and felt that it was in an unprecedented good state. This was the feeling of power, and he felt extremely happy.

"Knock, knock."

"Knock, knock, knock."

A knock on the door woke Qin Tian up.

A shout came from outside the door.

"Big Brother Qin Tian, Big Brother Qin Tian, are you inside?"

When Qin Tian heard the shout coming from outside the door, he knew who it was. In Qin Tian's memories, this voice was extremely familiar, and had been following him since he was young.

Qin Tian walked over and opened the door.

"Yuanyuan is here." Qin Tian smiled and said to the girl at the door.

He saw a young girl standing at the door. Her skin was fair, her features delicate, and her jade bracelet was carved in pink. What was most attractive was her pair of big eyes, they all said that they were windows to the soul. Her eyes were so pure that not even a speck of impurities could be found within them.

However, if you were to look at her outer appearance and think that she was a quiet, obedient girl, you would be wrong. From the craftiness that flashed across her eyes from time to time, you would know that she was definitely not the quiet, obedient girl you imagined. Even though she was still young, it was clear that she would grow up to be a beauty whose name would shake the world. This was Qin Tian's Third Uncle's daughter, Qin Tian's younger cousin. She was thirteen years old this year, and her name was Qin Yuanyuan.

"Big Brother Qin Tian, you're really here." With that, the girl ran to Qin Tian's side and shook his hand as she said this. Qin Yuanyuan carefully looked at Qin Tian's face, and said suspiciously: "Big brother, it seems like you are different from before, but I can't really put my finger on it."

"It doesn't make any difference. Big brother is still your big brother, don't think too much into it." Hearing the little girl's words, Qin Tian could not help but laugh and say.

Qin Tian knew, although his appearance had not changed, he was a brand-new Qin Tian, so he would definitely feel that it was a little different. After all, the little girl had been together with Qin Tian since childhood, and was extremely familiar with him.

"Hehe, I've overthought things. Big brother will always be my big brother." Qin Yuanyuan happily said, and continued: "Big Brother, then from now on, will you be living here?"

"Hehe, that's right. From now on, I'll be living here." Qin Tian said with a smile.

"But, but this place is so broken, so small." Qin Yuanyuan frowned as he looked at the room, he then said angrily: "Brother, did Qin Xiaojian, this bad guy steal your room, I'll go find him and argue." Qin Yuanyuan said, and then he was about to leave.

Qin Tian quickly pulled her back and said: "Who told you these things?"

"Those servants told me. They said that Qin Xiaojian kicked you out of his room and said that you were trash, I didn't believe them." Qin Yuanyuan said angrily.

It seemed that good things never went out, and bad things spread far and wide. Qin Tian thought helplessly.

"Big brother took the initiative to not want to live there. It's better to stay here." Qin Tian smiled and said to Qin Yuanyuan.

Qin Tian knew that if he were to speak the truth, Qin Yuanyuan would definitely stand up for him and look for Qin Xiaojian. Since had been following behind him since he was young, he had a very good relationship with him.

"Yuanyuan, what if Big Brother is like those people said, unable to cultivate?"

"Then Yuanyuan will work hard to cultivate and protect brother from being bullied." Qin Yuanyuan said firmly.

Hearing Qin Yuanyuan's young and firm words, Qin Tian couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth.

"Yuanyuan, don't listen to their nonsense. Brother is not trash, brother will become a strong Ranker in the future, and at that time, I can protect Yuanyuan." Qin Tian smiled as he looked at Qin Yuanyuan.

"Hehe, yes, I don't listen to those people. Brother is the best." Qin Yuanyuan said with a smile.

Qin Tian looked at Qin Yuanyuan in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but feel warm.

Qin Yuanyuan had been lively and cute since she was young, and everyone within the Qin Manor liked this naive and cute little girl.

"I didn't see you come out for the past few days. Did Third Aunt lock you up in her room to read again?" Qin Tian looked at Qin Yuanyuan and laughed.

"That's right. Mother wants me to read books every day, but I don't want to read them."

"It's not wrong to learn more. It's helpful to yourself."

"Miss, Miss, it's time. You should go back and read some books." The voice of Qin Yuanyuan's maid Little Huan sounded out.

"What? I just came out for a while and want me to go back? Wait, wait."

"Miss, it's better if you go back quickly. Otherwise, Madame will blame me later." The maid, Little Huan, said pitifully.

"Alright, alright, then I'll leave, okay?" Qin Yuanyuan said pitifully.

"Yuanyuan, it's fine. Go back and read your books today. I'm staying here, you can come and play with me anytime." Qin Tian laughed.

"Alright, then I'll see you later, brother." After saying that, he reluctantly left.

Qin Tian looked at Qin Yuanyuan's figure that was gradually walking away, and his heart couldn't help but feel a wave of warmth. After coming to this family for a few days, he had experienced the coldness and warmth of many people. Because of his reputation as "trash", every single one of them were disdainful of him.

Only Qin Yuanyuan came to see him, and did not care whether he was trash or not.

It was only now that Qin Tian truly saw Qin Yuanyuan as his own little sister.
