Chapter 285 – Indifference and Rumors
Han Li had pretty much understood by the time he heard this.
What these few people were actually talking about was that in some recent years, there had been occasional disappearances of cultivators in the cultivation world of Yue.
These few people seemed to have been caught by these people behind the scenes, but were released after being threatened. However, from the sound of it, they had been restrained and forced to do something harmful before they could do so.
Han Li’s heart turned all sorts of thoughts extremely quickly, and in a moment, he judged that it was better not to touch this matter.
After all, let so many cultivators are inexplicably disappeared behind the scenes of the person, but also has been able to get away with so far has not been revealed to be busted, which in itself shows that this black hand cunning exceptionally, is by no means an unusual generation.
And since it can drive the Foundation Stage cultivators, then maybe there are still JieDan Stage cultivators hiding behind it!
One’s own small Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, in this eventful fall, it is better not to get into trouble.
Han Li had a decision in his heart, and immediately withdrew his divine sense, no longer paying attention to this group of cultivators.
Although these people were a bit unlucky and pitiful, they had no relation to him, so he would not take the huge risk of meddling in this matter.
He could only let them fend for themselves!
Moreover, the current seven factions, just as the black-faced old man had analyzed, were fighting against the people of the Devil’s Way with all their might and had no time to be distracted at all. Even if Han Li helped them report up, they would most likely not care about it.
Han Li could only think this indifferently.
Since there is no need to be distracted to listen to other people’s whispers, Han Li even more released his mind to eat up, and from time to time, pretending to be curious, pointing to some novelty outside the window, asking Qin Ping about this and that.
Of course, Qin Ping explained to Han Li non-stop. In this way, a meal down the whole table is ten most of the food into Han Li’s abdomen, let that Qin Ping look smacked his tongue, secretly think of their own young master, not only people energetic, the amount of food can also not light ah!
At this time, the table cultivator got up and went downstairs, when he left the appearance of Han Li saw clearly, or hanging his head downcast look. It seemed that for a while they were unable to think of any good methods.
Seeing this, after Han Li took a few large bites of his meal, he too asked Qin Ping to settle the bill and leave.
However, Qin Ping only smiled cheekily, then took out a Qin Mansion’s belt tag from his body and went downstairs in a big way.
In a short while, he went upstairs and reported back to Han Li: “Young master, I’ve already pressed the waist plate there, and told the shopkeeper to go to our residence at the end of the month to settle the bill, and the money for this meal doesn’t require us to show up with silver. The young master of the Qin Mansion. The young master of the Qin residence has hundreds of taels of silver to spend every month to report to the residence. I’ve already credited the meal money to the young master’s account.”
Han Li was a bit surprised to hear this, and felt that the Qin Mansion was extravagant!
However, his face showed a bit of bewilderment as he nodded a few times carelessly and led Qin Ping downstairs.
In the afternoon, Han Li did not continue on foot again. Instead, he called a two-wheeled carriage at Qin Ping’s suggestion to learn a lesson, and sat in the carriage to make a round trip to several important places in Yuejing.
Although there were still many places left out, but at last the general terrain and neighborhoods, Han Li had a preliminary impression. It wasn’t so bad that once he left the Qin Residence. It was just a matter of looking around the capital city.
It was only in the evening that Han Li, who had enjoyed himself to the fullest, returned to the Qin Residence.
This time, Qin Gui, who was at the door. Before waiting for Han Li to get out of the car, he rushed out of the gatehouse. He was very attentive to Han Li.
He was afraid that this newly appeared Young Master Han would still hold a grudge for yesterday’s incident where he had no eyes. He had to make this person’s impression of himself better!
How could Han Li still hold yesterday’s sesame-sized matter in his heart? It had long since been put behind him!
At this time, his mind was filled with thoughts of how he could ensure the safety of the Qin Residence. It’s really not possible. Qin Yan’s life should be preserved at the very least, otherwise it would not be good to go back and explain to Li Huayuan.
Thinking of this, Han Li had an idea in his mind and entered the Qin Residence with peace of mind.
In the evening, Han Li didn’t avoid anyone and directly sought out this Uncle Qin of his, and talked with him in detail for a while within the secret room before going back in high spirits.
And from the second day onwards, some of the people who interacted with Qin Yan suddenly realized that Qin Yan had an additional strange youth out by his side, and was covered in an earthy atmosphere that really didn’t look like a local from Yuejing.
And Qin Yan very enthusiastically introduced this youth to each familiar people, said that is a descendant of their own elders, let these dear friends to carry a good and so on!
These people who befriended Qin Yan were either dignitaries or wealthy merchants! Although he felt that this young man had never left Qin Yan’s side, a bit strange, but after probing Han Li’s details to no avail, the cunning old man naturally showed Han Li a kindly elder-like demeanor.
Han Li finally made his first contact with the upper circles of Yuejing!
……
In the blink of an eye, more than two months had passed!
Han Li seems to really become the young master of the Qin residence, not only all the treatment is the same as Qin Yan’s children, and the Qin family master now, whether it is business entertainment or guests of his residence, always without exception will Han Li brought in the side, seems to really want to vigorously cultivate the appearance.
In this way, Han Li is the rumor of the Qin family master’s illegitimate son, soon spread from the Qin residence to the outside, so that the Qin family acquaintance of the family, a good burst of rumors!
But Qin Yan did not pay any attention to these rumors, completely as if you want to guess how, all with your default appearance. This further solidified the credibility of this assertion!
As a result, some of the Qin Clan’s children, not knowing whether it was under the direction of their elders or just because they were a little smart, actually wanted to side-step the rumors from Han Li.
But before Han Li pretended to be crazy and didn’t know anything, these people naturally returned to no avail.
Over time, the people of the Qin Residence finally confirmed Han Li’s identity as the young master of the Qin Residence, thinking that Qin Yan’s love for Han Li was just a way to make up for the guilt in his heart!
Although several of the Qin family sons and daughters who were originally favored by Qin Yan were furious about this. However, under the old man’s high pressure, they naturally didn’t dare to do anything obvious against Han Li, and could only pinch their noses and endure it for the time being.
However, they had naturally cursed Han Li more than once behind his back for being a bumpkin, a bastard, and so on.
However, these people didn’t know that at night, when Han Li was practicing his techniques inside the house, he would use his divine sense to envelop the entire Qin Mansion within it on a regular basis, and although each time it couldn’t last too long, it was enough to find out many people’s hidden secrets!
These few people’s few indignant words, Han Li could hear them clearly.
Han Li wasn’t going to be general with these milquetoast hairy children. But their elders, but a few of them were secretly pondering some damaging tricks to make him fall out of favor, which left Han Li somewhat speechless.
He naturally didn’t bother anything with these mortals, but if the people of the Devil’s Path did suddenly attack, the order of protection for these few people would naturally be at the bottom of his list. This could also be considered a small reward for Han Li!
On this day, Qin Yan once again went out to a banquet, and this time, the person who invited him was a non-trivial character, surprisingly, it was a prince of the current dynasty who had placed the invitation!
It was said that the idle prince’s favorite concubine had just recovered from a serious illness, so he had organized a banquet and invited some prestigious people to celebrate.
Although the Qin family is not the richest merchant in Yuejing, but in terms of comprehensive strength and influence, it can definitely be ranked among the top three, so naturally, the invitation also has the Qin family’s share.
And it’s not just the old man Qin Yan who is going, but also several of the Qin family’s friends and so-called “talented girls” who are going to go with him by name. It was said to be a special request from the young prince who knew them well!
Qin Yan had no choice but to let these juniors go along.
The several juniors who knew the news were instantly delighted in their hearts!
To know, since Qin Yan knew that the Qin family was in crisis, he naturally refused to let his juniors go out and fool around during this time.
In case they were targeted by the people of the Devil’s Path that Han Li had spoken of, wouldn’t that be a big disaster!
Therefore, during these two months, Master Qin had casually found an excuse to keep these juniors grounded until now, how could this not make these lazy young masters and young ladies of the Qin Family secretly cry out in bitterness?
What made them even more annoyed was that Han Li was clearly not older than them by a few years, but he had the opportunity to follow Qin Yan every day, going out early and returning late, with a look of joy, which made these few people cry out for injustice even more.
Now that there is this opportunity, these few Qin family juniors, naturally went together with great joy.
”King Xin”, this was the title of the prince who sent the invitation, and was also one of the brothers of the current Lord of Yue.
From what Qin Yan said, although this person is a royal family member, he has a generous nature and has a wide range of friends! Not only the dignitaries, rich and powerful businessmen, he is willing to get acquainted with, that is, some of the marketplace dog-slaying generation Jianghu on the strange people, he also recognized a lot.
Of course, in order to avoid suspicion, hold the military power of the military officials he did not dare to more interaction.
But just like this, this prince in the people of Yuejing reputation, can really not small, and reputation is also very good.
When Han Li heard this, he already had a rough impression of this king. The exact kind of person he was, of course, still needed him to confirm it with both eyes!
After all, there were far too many big names in the world who had a good reputation on the surface, but were actually male thieves and prostitutes!
