Chapter 280 – Reception
”Master see, it’s true that our family doesn’t lack this amount of silver, but the reputation can’t be given a bad name!” The woman on the other side said with a smile, completely acting like a virtuous wife.
Seeing this, Qin Yan was even more satisfied!
This Third Lady had been with himself for so many years, but that thoughtful and delicate mind had not diminished at all, which made him feel more and more at ease with her!
Even usually have something to go out, will be the size of the Qin residence of things, are entrusted to it should be dealt with, and every time to make it extremely satisfactory.
”Master, I have already sent someone to call this person. After my husband has met him, let my concubine deal with such trivial matters!” The woman next, continued gently.
Qin Yan smiled faintly at her words, and just as he was about to open his mouth to say something, the sound of an underling’s report came from outside the house.
”Master, Qin Ping has arrived with guests. Should we summon them now?”
”Tell Qin Ping to bring the person in!”
After casually ordering, Qin Yan simply closed his mouth and smiled apologetically at the Third Lady.
”As you wish!” The subordinate responded, and left his words unspoken.
And outside the living room, in walked Qin Ping and a naive young man behind him.
This young man was walking while looking left and right at everything in the living room, seemingly curious about anything in the room.
When the two of them walked into the hall, Qin Ping returned the favor and automatically exited the hall. Only the youth was left alone, facing Qin Yan and his wife with some uneasiness.
Qin Yan and the Third Lady saw the youth’s helpless appearance and couldn’t help but give each other a heartfelt smile, then Qin Yan coughed lightly and said to the youth in a pleasant manner: ”I heard that little brother has a letter from Qin’s elder, I wonder if this matter is true? Can you hand over the letter to me for a look?”
The youth, also known as Han Li, glanced at the Qin family’s lord and revealed a hesitant look, as if somewhat unconfirmed as he asked rhetorically, “Are you really Uncle Qin? My grandfather could have personally said that he could only hand over the letter to Uncle Qin himself!”
After hearing Han Li’s words, the Third Lady was slightly stunned. She almost couldn’t hold back her laughter.
Within the hall where the Qin Residence received guests, how could anyone dare to impersonate the Lord of the Qin Family in a grand manner? This young man’s question was truly very amusing!
As for Qin Yan, he heard it and froze for a moment, similarly revealing a bitter smile.
He had no choice but to helplessly re-say, “Of course I am the real master of the Qin Residence, but whether or not I am your Uncle Qin, this can only be confirmed after reading the letters!”
Qin Yan’s deflated appearance made the Third Mistress who was watching from the side really amused. Unexpectedly, the famous and almost unrecognized Lord of the Qin Family in Yuejing. Surprisingly, he was doubted by a young man who was covered in earthy air, what a strange story!
Hearing Qin Yan’s words, Han Li’s face surged with an expression that seemed to believe, finally dragging his feet and handing over the letter, which had been crumpled into a scrap of paper, to Qin Yan.
Qin Yan, who had long been impatient, forcibly resisted the urge to snatch the letter over, and finally maintained his demeanor to receive the letter over.
However, he did not immediately open the letter. Instead, after glancing at Han Li with great meaning, he suddenly placed the letter on the table. He lightly clapped his palms twice.
”After the two sounds, an old man in a green shirt with a head full of white hair immediately walked in from outside the hall.
Qin Yan pointed to this epistle without saying a word. The old man immediately respectfully came forward to pick up the letter, and then the letter to the slanting sunlight into the hall examined a number of, and finally cupped his hands and put the letter back on the table.
”No problem?” After spitting out these words, the old man bowed and retreated. One in and one out were all silent, just like the presence of a ghost.
Putting his heart down, Qin Yan faintly glanced at Han Li, seeing this person’s confused appearance. Couldn’t help but bring out a smile on his face.
Then without explaining, he skillfully opened the letter and pulled out the letterhead to read it carefully.
Seeing this, the Third Lady on the side smiled amiably at Han Li, and then picked up the teacup in front of her, wanting to sip it lightly.
However, before she could just pick it up, Qin Yan, who was sitting reading the letter, “huffed” and puffed, and even stood up, his face was filled with a stunned look of utter weirdness.
”Master, what happened, is it possible that this letter is fake?” A shocked third lady, panicked to put down the tea cup inquired, a look of great concern.
”No, this letter is indeed real! And it’s also a letter from an elder who has shown me great kindness.” Qin Yan’s complexion instantly returned to normal, and he said in a very calm tone.
Then after he handed his beloved wife an unproblematic look, Qin Yan sized up Han Li once more.
”Your Excellency’s name is Han Li?” Master Qin asked tentatively, and although his tone was still the same as earlier, the third wife vaguely sensed that something was wrong!
While this woman was suspicious, Han Li nodded vigorously, “Not bad, I am Han Li! Is it like what my grandfather said, that I can stay here?”
”Heh! Of course it’s possible. When I was a child, I had met Uncle Huayuan once with my family father, and I didn’t think that I would be able to meet his descendant today, so I’ll treat you as if you were my own nephew.” Qin Yan suddenly joyfully let out a loud laugh, his voice so loud that the nearby subordinates all heard it and looked at each other in disbelief, not knowing why his own master was so happy within the living room.
”Come! Accompany me to the side hall to talk about Uncle Hua Yuan’s recent situation? No one else is allowed to follow, I want to have a good chat with Han Xian Nephew?” Qin Yan said enthusiastically as he pulled Han Li’s arm. He then dragged Han Li towards the side door and stopped the Third Lady from trying to follow him.
This caused the Third Lady, who was already greatly surprised, to become even more confused!
She could only watch Master Qin and Han Li go out through the side door. She didn’t dare to follow them without following orders.
At this time, she had a head full of doubts!
Han Li followed Qin Yan and arrived in an extremely quiet side hall.
Without saying a word, he turned a decorative ancient bottle in the hall, and then a secret room appeared out of thin air on one wall.
Seeing this, Qin Yan walked in without hesitation. And after Han Li smiled a bit, he also trailed in.
This secret room wasn’t large, but it had all five organs!
Not only were there tables and chairs, but there was also a zhang-high sandalwood bookshelf in the room, which appeared exquisite and unusual!
”Since Your Excellency is someone sent by Immortal Master Li, you are also an Immortal Cultivator? Just now within the living room, Mister Qin was much offended, I hope Immortal Master Han won’t be offended?” As soon as Qin Yan closed the door to the secret room, he apologized to Han Li with a respectful expression.
”It’s nothing, those who don’t know are not to blame! What’s more, this drama still needs to continue.” Han Li casually sat down at the table and said carelessly. At this moment, his entire demeanor changed, restoring his original spontaneous aura.
”Many thanks for Immortal Master’s generosity!”
That Qin Yan heard this, but became even more respectful, and always stood aside without revealing the slightest hint of dissatisfaction.
Immortal cultivators in the end what kind of people, Qin Yan is really too clear but, these are simply living gods like godmen!
What’s more, if it wasn’t for that Immortal Master Li’s support, their Qin family would never have had the prominent power today. In reason, Qin Yan did not dare to show any disrespect.
”Qin Family Master also have a seat, no need to be too polite! The Immortal Master Li in your mouth is actually the family master, so I’m not much of an outsider to the Qin Family.” Han Li added with a smile.
”Don’t dare, I’m a mortal, how can I dare to be rude to Immortal Master, I’ll just stand aside and listen to Immortal Master Han’s orders.” Qin Yan refused to sit down as he shook his hand repeatedly. This caused Han Li to ponder thoughtfully for a moment before no longer forcing the other party.
”I wonder what Immortal Master Han’s business is here? Immortal Master Li’s letter only stated the identity of the next Immortal Master, and the letter didn’t mention anything about what exactly. Could Mister Qin know a thing or two?” Qin Yan carefully asked the most concerned question in his heart.
Because according to his father’s explanation before his death, that Immortal Master Li, who had done great favors to the Qin family, would only appear in person or send someone to come to help when the Qin family was in danger that could not be resolved. Could it be that the Qin Family was about to encounter some big trouble again?
Han Li glanced at the anxious look that surfaced on the Qin Family’s Lord, and after thinking for a moment, he said with deliberation, “The matter is like this, in fact, it involves foreign Immortal Cultivators. We received word that ……”
Han Li looked as normal as he slowly recounted the matter of the six sects of the Devil Dao possibly laying their hands on the Qin family to Qin Yan in the most acceptable terms for mortals. It left this Qin family lord with a look of shock on his face.
Only after a long time did Qin Yan ask with a bit of a stutter, ”This …… so to say, there are cultivators from other countries who are going to lay their hands on us mortals? How can …… this …… be good?”
This Lord of the Qin Family had a look of being at a loss for words.
And after Han Li lightly smiled, he calmly consoled, “Don’t worry, Qin Family Lord, the cultivators that infiltrated the Yue Country this time won’t have too much mana. With me sitting at the Qin Mansion, I won’t let them win easily!”
