Chapter Twenty-Four: Qin Hong's Order
Qin Yong followed Qin Tianhu, originally listening to Qin Tianhu's words, was supposed to go see Qin Hong, but now he walked in the direction of the guest room.
Regarding the memories of the Qin family, Qin Yong is relatively vague because this was something that the previous owner didn't like either. However, some general situations, Qin Yong still knows about. If it's going to Qin Hong's courtyard, it will definitely be walking towards the innermost part. Now, however, Qin Tianhu is somewhat deviating from the direction, which is the location of the guest room for receiving important guests.
"It seems that this week's Bo is not an ordinary outer disciple of the Jianzong sect, even Qin Hong has to stay there with him." Qin Yong thought to himself.
Qin Tianhu's actions made Qin Yong understand a situation, that is, Qin Hong must not be living in his own room now, but in the guest room. The reason is definitely to entertain and get close to Zhou Bo. As an outer door disciple, he can make the proud Qin Hong do so, which can confirm that Zhou Bo is absolutely not an ordinary person.
"Hurry up, don't keep Xiao Hong and Master Zhou waiting for too long." Qin Tianhu looked at Qin Yong's slow pace and suddenly felt annoyed.
Actually, this speed is not slow at all. If it's any faster, then it wouldn't be walking but running instead. However, Qin Tianhu just couldn't help but feel displeased because Qin Hong was an outer sect disciple of the Qingshan Sect and the most talented person in the Qin family, while Zhou Bo, although slightly inferior to Qin Hong in terms of strength, had a big background in the Qingshan Sect, which meant that even Qin Tianhu had to address him as "Young Master". Now, looking at Qin Yong's calm demeanor, Qin Tianhu felt somewhat resentful. After all, he was just an ordinary disciple from the Yunhai Sect, and even if he were an outer sect disciple, he probably wouldn't be so arrogant, right?
"They both knew I was coming back and were waiting for me on purpose?" Qin Yong glanced at Qin Tianhu.
"Huh, how is that possible? How could Xiao Hong and Zhou Bo wait for you?" Qin Tianhu was first stunned, then looked at Qin Yong with some anger.
That's right, it's anger. Qin Hong and Zhou Bo are both figures to be looked up to in Qin Tianhu's heart, while Qin Yong, even if he is careful about his identity as a miscellaneous disciple of the Yunhai Sect, is at most not underestimated by Qin Tianhu. He used to think that he could win him over, so he was enthusiastic about receiving him, but now he can't stand Qin Yong anymore. His expression and tone are no longer close and gentle, but instead, he puts on a long-faced appearance. Originally thought that Qin Yong should also recognize himself, who would have thought it would be like this.
"That's it, they didn't wait for me, so what if we're late. Besides, even if they really waited for me, that's their business, when I arrive is my own affair." Qin Yong looked nonchalant, but in his heart he sneered, this Qin Tianhu wanted to curry favor with him, but he wasn't interested.
Qin Tianhu's expression changed, and he laughed in extreme anger: "Good, good, good. I originally thought you were just arrogant, but now I know you're also ignorant. You can say such things. Hopefully, when you meet Xiao Hong and Master Zhou Bo, you'll still be so bold."
Qin Hong and Zhou Bo were both outer disciples of the Qian Jian Sect, just like Yun Hai Sect, all outer disciples needed to be above Qi Wu Realm 7th layer to enter, and some powerful outer disciples were even in Xuan Wu Realm, which was a strong existence that could be placed in Yang Mu City. Qin Hong and Zhou Bo, although they had not reached Xuan Wu Realm, now both had the strength of Qi Wu Realm 9th layer, belonging to the middle level of outer disciples' strength, far surpassing Qin Yong's.
In terms of background, Zhou Bo is the grandson of an inner sect elder of the Wen Jian Sect and has a sister who is also an inner sect disciple. In terms of talent, he can almost be compared to Yun Hai Sect's Liu Yan, a true big shot. As for Qin Hong, he is the direct descendant of the Qin family and will be the future head of the family. Compared to Zhou Bo, he doesn't count as much, but when facing Qin Yong, a branch family member, he is absolutely a superior person.
Qin Tianhu believed that now Qin Yong would dare to speak here, and when he saw Qin Hong and Zhou Bo, he would be scared out of his wits. Even if nothing happened, daring to speak like this would definitely provoke dissatisfaction from Qin Hong and Zhou Bo, and he would definitely receive a lesson later on. Qin Tianhu didn't dare to do anything to Qin Yong because Qin Yong had the identity of a miscellaneous disciple of Yunhai Sect, although it wasn't much, but it also wasn't something that a second-rate family member like Qin Tianhu in this city could take lightly. However, Qin Hong and Zhou Bo were different, Jianjian Sect was not inferior to Yunhai Sect, if Qin Yong was an outer sect disciple of Yunhai Sect, then they would have to be more cautious, but as a miscellaneous disciple, teaching him a lesson wouldn't be a big deal. Only outer sect disciples were considered true sect members, while miscellaneous disciples were basically the same as servants, and that's why those outer sect disciples looked down on miscellaneous disciples and bullied them at will.
"Don't worry, I'll say what needs to be said," Qin Yong said.
Qin Tianhu let out a cold snort and didn't bother with Qin Yong again, quickly heading towards the guest room to wait for Qin Hong and Zhou Bo to come and teach this short-sighted kid a lesson. Before long, they arrived at the guest room.
It's called a guest room, but it's not actually a single room, but rather several courtyards connected together. This is the place where important guests are entertained, and of course, it can't be compared to those individual rooms. Qin Hong and Zhou Bo stayed in two adjacent courtyards.
Usually, apart from going to Qin Yong's house to see Qin Yu, he would drink tea with Qin Hong in the courtyard or go for a stroll in Yangmu City with him. Today, it seemed that because they knew it was the day Qin Yong returned home, they didn't go out and instead drank tea and chatted in the courtyard.
The gate was wide open, and they weren't afraid of being overheard. Anyone who knew what was good for them would make a detour to avoid disturbing the two men's elegant gathering. So Qin Yong followed Qin Tianhu to the front of the courtyard, where he could see into the courtyard from afar, and couldn't help but shake his head - it really did have the air of a grand occasion.
"Xiao Hong, Zhou Bo young master, I've brought Qin Yong back." Qin Tianhu walked into the courtyard and immediately shouted out, his tone with a hint of flattery, making Qin Yong look at him with some disgust.
"Sorry to trouble you, Third Uncle." Qin Hong was still somewhat polite, after all, he was his uncle, but that was all. He quickly shifted his gaze to Qin Yong, his expression even more indifferent, and said in a commanding tone: "Qin Yong, it's been a long time. Don't be slow, come over and greet Young Master Zhou Bo."
Qin Hong mentioned the four words "Young Master Zhou Bo" without flattering like Qin Tianhu, nor with respect, apparently just treating him as an equal. However, since Qin Hong thought he was no worse than Zhou Bo but ordered Qin Yong to do so, those four words were actually meant for Qin Yong to hear.
Qin Hong's view is more extreme than Qin Tianhu's. Qin Tianhu looks down on the branch disciples, but also thinks that they are stronger than the lower-ranking servants and are vassals of the Qin family. However, Qin Hong completely disdains the branch disciples, thinking that they are just a group of people who have been lucky enough to share the same surname as the Qin family's slaves. Even when Qin Yong, a branch disciple, became a miscellaneous disciple of the Yunhai Sect and entered the direct line, Qin Hong did not entirely approve, but it was his father, the current head of the Qin family, Qin Tianbao's decision, so he could not say anything.
Despite this, Qin Hong still treated Qin Yong as a servant, even if he became a miscellaneous disciple of the Yunhai Sect in the future, it was impossible for him to achieve anything. The same was true for the other three miscellaneous disciples who entered the Dàimén Pài. Miscellaneous disciples were originally just servants, only outer door disciples were considered true Dàimén Pài disciples. Naturally, when Qin Hong saw Qin Yong, he had a master's demeanor and directly ordered Qin Yong to come over.
