Chapter Nineteenth: Delusions
Qin Yong arrived at the guest hall and soon saw the so-called "family member", a middle-aged man who looked somewhat familiar, and indeed was just a member of the Qin family.
"Qin Yong, you've finally arrived." The middle-aged man let out a visible sigh of relief as he saw Qin Yong arrive.
"Third Uncle, what can I do for you?" Qin Yong said calmly.
At this time, Qin Yong also found the identity of this middle-aged man from his memory, named Qin Tianhu, a direct member of the Qin family, and the head of the household was a close brother, ranking third. Qin Yong was still a member of the Qin family after all, although he was born in a branch, but when he saw Qin Tianhu, he still needed to call him Third Uncle.
In the past, Qin Tianhu looked down on the Qin family, no matter which family or branch, the younger generation had no status in front of the direct clan. Unless a powerful member appeared in the branch and was accepted as a disciple by a major sect. Qin Yong's situation was just that, although he was only a miscellaneous disciple of Yunhai Sect, he was considered rare in the Qin family. Now, Qin Yong's family has risen to prominence in the Qin family and is considered one of the best branches under the direct clan.
Before entering Yunhai Sect, Qin Tiantu didn't have a good expression towards Qin Yong either. Later, when Qin Yong became an odd-job disciple of Yunhai Sect and one of the five family members who entered the Gate Sect, even though there was another direct descendant who entered Qixing Sect as an outer sect disciple named Qin Hong, he wouldn't continue to treat Qin Yong's family like before. Qin Tiantu also treated Qin Yong like a close nephew, but even the former tragic goods knew the reason behind it and didn't like the kind of power struggle within the family, so they rarely went back home.
Qin Yong is no longer the miserable goods of the past, but for this kind of weak and petty person, he doesn't like it himself, plus there was no affection to begin with, so naturally he is even more indifferent.
"Qin Yong, what's with your attitude towards Third Uncle?" Qin Tianhu said with a frown, somewhat displeased.
Qin Yong curled his lips and didn't respond, knowing that Qin Tianhu still considered himself a direct descendant of the Qin family and an elder, with a hint of superiority in front of him. This point, Qin Yong understood from the moment he entered the door, seeing Qin Tianhu's changing expression.
Qin Tianhu was very cautious in the guest hall, even when facing other miscellaneous disciples. This Qin Tianhu, although already in his forties, had a cultivation of only eight layers of Qi Wu Realm. With this kind of talent, it would be difficult to enter the Dà Mén Pài even with connections, let alone become a miscellaneous disciple. When facing the miscellaneous disciples of Yun Hai Zong, he didn't dare offend them and was careful with his words and actions. If he saw an outer sect disciple, he would be so scared that he wouldn't dare move, fearing that one careless move might provoke the other person's displeasure.
Until Qin Yong came in, he let out a breath of relief and even raised his head, which had been hanging low. This was because Qin Yong was an outer disciple of the Yunhai Sect's miscellaneous chores, but also just a junior, and more importantly, from a branch family. Qin Tianhu had enough superiority complex. In any case, Qin Yong must address him as Third Uncle, and even his parents would show respect when they saw him. Moreover, among their direct lineage, there were three disciples of the Great Gate Sect, one of whom was Qin Hong, an outer disciple of the Qingsword Sect.
"Third Uncle, if you're looking for me just to say this kind of thing, then I won't see you off." Qin Yong said with a shake of his head, and not having the mind to chat idly, turned around and was about to leave.
Qin Tianhu saw Qin Yong doing this, first stunned, then flashed a hint of annoyance, "Qin Yong, your attitude is even bigger than that of Qin Hongge, you are just a miscellaneous disciple."
Qin Tiantiger couldn't help but get angry, previously waiting here, didn't dare to make any moves, this made him who was usually strict in the family very unhappy. But this is Yunhai Sect, let alone him, even his own brother wouldn't be much better than he is now, can only endure. Finally, after Qin Yong came over, no matter what he was still a senior, didn't expect Qin Yong to not give him any face at all, making Qin Tiantiger feel stifled, directly shouting out loud.
Anyway, now there are only two people left here, Qin Yong and him. Those few miscellaneous disciples saw Qin Yong coming and automatically left, after all, it's a matter of the Qin family. Qin Tiantu was unscrupulous, and being provoked by Qin Yong like this, suddenly felt that he should give Qin Yong a reminder, lest becoming a miscellaneous disciple of Yunhai Sect would not put others in his eyes.
Qin Hong, however, was an outer disciple of the Xun Jian Sect, and compared to Qin Yong's identity as a miscellaneous servant, he didn't know how much higher it was. More importantly, Qin Hong was Qin Tianhu's nephew, the son of his family's eldest brother, and had been receiving key training from his family since childhood, otherwise he wouldn't have become an outer disciple of the Xun Jian Sect so easily. As for the other four who joined the Dà Mén Pài, they were all just miscellaneous servants.
Qin Yong naturally knew what Qin Tianhu meant, but still didn't show any expression. Looking at the annoyed Qin Tianhu, he said: "I'm just discussing the matter at hand, joining a sect is about cultivating one's skills after all. Only by fully devoting oneself to cultivation and making the greatest effort can one establish a foothold."
Qin Tiantu was still not satisfied, but he only hummed coldly and did not refute Qin Yong's words. However, Qin Tiantu still sneered in his heart, from Qin Yong's words, Qin Tiantu heard Qin Yong's determination, knowing that Qin Yong meant to cultivate wholeheartedly.
"The family spent so much effort to cultivate a Qin Hong, but now he's just an outer disciple of the Qianjian Sect. You're just a branch disciple, and becoming a miscellaneous disciple of the Yunhai Sect is already a stroke of great luck. I reckon that's all you'll ever amount to in your lifetime. And yet, you still think you can become an outer disciple?" Qin Tianhu sneered secretly.
Becoming a miscellaneous disciple of the Dà Mén Pài, even if it's just a humble achievement, would still guarantee becoming a Xuán Wǔ Jìng Wu Xiū. The Qín family currently only has around ten Xuán Wǔ Jìng Wu Xiū. If one can reach an even higher position and become an outer door disciple, it would prove that they have been recognized by the Dà Mén Pài in terms of their innate talent, and there's hope for them to become a powerful Di Wǔ Jìng Wu Xiū in the future. Currently, the Qín family only has two Di Wǔ Jìng Wu Xiū.
It seems that Qin Yong's idea of becoming an outer disciple of the Yunhai Sect is simply a fantasy, and it's impossible to achieve. Qin Tianhu snorted in disdain, but didn't say anything in front of Qin Yong, only occasionally bringing it up when bragging to his friends to show contempt.
"Even so, I am still your third uncle." Qin Tianhu said, his attitude towards Qin Yong was still very unpleasant, but at this time he didn't have any thoughts of calculating, "Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. This time I came over to find you to go back."
"What's going on at home?" Qin Yong furrowed his brow as the faces of his parents and sister flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but let out a faint sigh. Indeed, after accepting those memories, he had been affected by them. Clearly, he was no longer the same miserable guy he used to be, yet this body's blood ties with them made it impossible for him to put the matter aside.
