Chapter Thirty-One: Intentional Interference

  "Light rain, satisfactory. The hunting at Lou's manor yielded a low-grade demonic beast, the Giant Horned Cow. Young Master Zhou had to expend considerable effort to reserve half of it. This whole-cow banquet was prepared just for you to taste the freshness. Don't disappoint Young Master Zhou's kind intentions."

  Qin Yong hadn't even arrived at his destination when he heard Qin Tianhu's flattering voice, which made him roll his eyes. If he didn't know better, he would have thought it was some servant trying to curry favor. No wonder he came from the direct line of the Qin family and had access to so many cultivation resources, yet he was only at the eighth level of the Qi Refining Realm.

  "But at least you should have called my brother." Qin Yu replied somewhat weakly.

  Qin Yong heard this and suddenly smiled, his sister was not stupid after all, knowing it would be hard to refuse, so he made such a request. Indeed, even if they still had to go in the end, with him following, at least nothing bad would happen.

  "This time it's Master Zhoubo who has specially invited you, and we're almost like family now. We should cultivate our feelings properly. Master Zhoubo said that next time he will definitely invite your brother, so this time we won't disturb him." Qin Tianhu continued to persuade.

  Qin Yong only heard Qin Tianhu's voice, while Qin Hong and Zhou Bo remained silent, clearly not wanting to be the laughing stock. Only Qin Tianhu, this shameless old man, was so despicable, and had become a tool in the hands of Qin Hong and Zhou Bo. Didn't Qin Tianhu know? Qin Yong didn't think so. Even if Qin Tianhu wasn't capable, he was still older and more experienced, but he couldn't even see through this simple matter, which meant he wasn't qualified to be the third master of the Qin family. Yet, Qin Tianhu knew exactly what he was doing, and it was all for the sake of Qin Hong and Zhou Bo.

  Qin Yong hurried over, at this time Qin Yu was definitely in a difficult situation, it was his turn to take the stage. As he walked, he burst out laughing and said: "Haha, the three-layered giant horned cow of the Qi Wu realm is already the peak of low-level demon beasts. I've never had such a luxurious thing before. If it were usual, it would be fine, but you invited Little Yu and avoided me, aren't you looking down on me?"

  "Qin Yong!" Qin Tianhu was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Originally, he had been watching Qin Yu struggle, and Qin Tianhu was about to put on more pressure, thinking that maybe he could force Qin Yu to compromise. But then Qin Yong jumped in again.

  "Qin Yong, how can you be so rude." Qin Hong scolded, looking at Qin Yong with displeasure. But to his surprise, Qin Yong seemed completely unbothered, which made him feel like he had punched a cotton ball - frustrated and stifled. After composing himself, he snorted: "This time Zhou Bo specifically invited Xiao Yu for dinner, not even inviting us, the elders. As Xiao Yu's older brother, don't you know that you should be yielding at this moment?"

  "I don't know." Qin Yong replied very briefly, like a candle? It's just a light bulb, unfortunately he was intentionally being a light bulb, the dazzling kind.

  Qin Hongyi glared at him, Qin Yong's face turned black with anger, and he couldn't say a word.

  If Qin Yong had found some excuse, Qin Hong would have been able to counterattack, but Qin Yong answered so bluntly that there was no room for excuses, making it impossible for Qin Hong to fight back. This made him feel even more suffocated than before when he tried to show off his status as the future head of the family in front of Qin Yong, and this time it wasn't just a waste of effort, but a complete failure.

  "Brother Qin Yong is coming, I naturally welcome him, but this time it's really not suitable, let's wait for next time, I'll specially prepare a giant horned cow to treat you." Zhou Bo said, looking at Qin Hong and Qin Tianhu eating, Zhou Bo felt that he had to stand up, otherwise the candle would be taken away.

  "Are you treating me to a special dinner? Forget it, they say eating alone is hard to digest, I'd be uncomfortable by myself, and Xiaoyu would be the same. Do you think Xiaoyu would be someone who'd drag me out to indulge in food? If that were true, Xiaoyu wouldn't enjoy eating either, but instead would feel very uncomfortable." Qin Yong said with a smirk.

  "Mm." Qin Yu hastily nodded.

  Qin Yong looked at the appreciative gaze that was thrown over, and this sister indeed cooperated. However, it was precisely because of this that he took the lead, otherwise, in a situation where two people were mutually affectionate, Qin Yong would not have been so tactless.

  Qin Hong, Zhou Bo and Qin Tianhu looked at each other, all a bit stunned. Who would have thought that Qin Yong was so capable of twisting words? He directly said that only Qin Yu going would be embarrassing for Qin Yu, making him feel uncomfortable. At this time, they definitely couldn't shirk responsibility anymore, otherwise it would be obvious that they were being insincere. Although everyone's hearts were clear about this matter, some things could only be tacitly understood and not openly discussed.

  "I say, you guys are like this, won't there be some conspiracy inside?" Qin Yong glanced at the three of them.

  "How could it be? Since Brother Qin Yong is willing to come, we naturally welcome him infinitely." Zhou Bo's mouth twitched slightly.

  Actually, at this time, the most embarrassed one is Zhou Bo. Compared to him, Qin Hong and Qin Tianhu are nothing. Zhou Bo is a outer door disciple of the Jian Xiang Sect, his senior is an inner door elder of the Jian Xiang Sect, in terms of status and position, he far surpasses anyone from the Qin family, even if Qin Hong has a good relationship with him, it's still very polite, but now he's repeatedly being bullied by Qin Yong.

  This is Qin Yong, in terms of strength and status, he can't hold a candle to the others, but because he's Qin Yu's older brother, he can't be ignored. If he were just an ordinary member of the Qin family, it would be easy to pressure him into this marriage, but Qin Yong happens to be a miscellaneous disciple of the Yunhai Sect.

  Menial disciple? That's just a waste, only serving as servants for various sects. Zhou Bo indeed looked down on Qin Yong's role. Before meeting Qin Yong, Zhou Bo thought that this Qin Yong would definitely fawn over him like others did, but the result was unexpected. Qin Yong didn't care about his status or position at all, and dared to talk back whenever he wanted, thinking highly of himself, believing he could surpass them in the future. Although it's a foolish dream, before experiencing setbacks, it's clear that he won't come to his senses, so for now, he can only endure passively.

  This was also Zhou Bo's intention, who really wanted to marry Qin Yu back and also took into account the identity of Qin Yong Yunhai Sect. Although miscellaneous disciples are servants, they have to look at their masters when beating dogs, and Zhou Bo didn't want to get into trouble either, so he decided to take a detour. This time inviting Qin Yu to dinner, actually arranged a good show, if it went smoothly, really could make Qin Yu emotional, unfortunately, Qin Yong came out to stir up trouble again, which made Qin Hong and Qin Tianhu depressed at the same time, also making Zhou Bo suffocate with anger.

  "That sounds great, Little Rain! Let's go and try it out. I've heard that after cooking, eating low-level demon beasts can replenish one's energy and blood, strengthen the body, especially when cooked by a master chef, it can bring out the best effect, which is also helpful in improving one's true energy. A single low-level demon beast at the first level of Qi Refining would cost over a hundred taels of silver. I've only heard about it before, but today we can finally try it fresh." Qin Yong walked up to Qin Yu, laughing as he spoke.

  As a result, Qin Yu smiled and nodded, with Qin Yong by her side, she was no longer afraid. Zhou Bo, on the other hand, became even more depressed, now that Qin Yong had walked over to Qin Yu's side, he couldn't even get close to her anymore.
