After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 173 Can't Make It Through Tomorrow

Chen Lan felt that the Qi family had broadened her horizons.

With such great talent, it's a bit of a waste for Qi Heng to join the Immortal Sect. He doesn't have the prestige of joining a major sect and becoming a personal disciple like Qi Xu. But raising a son isn't like marrying a wife. Who says you can only choose one?

If Qi Rong hadn't been so biased and had shown Lin Fu some care, or at least not treated her harshly even if his feelings had changed, things wouldn't have come to this.

If we keep Lin Fu calm and treat Qi Heng well, Qi Heng will definitely be wholeheartedly devoted to the Qi family. Then the Qi family will have two Nascent Soul young masters. When they are united, what is there to fear about the Qi family not doing well?

However, Qi Rong was short-sighted and favored the sons born to his aunt and concubine, which forced Qi Heng to become disloyal. Now, instead of helping the Qi family, he has become their enemy!
Chen Lan guessed that Qi Rong had lost his mind after listening to his wife's words, and had placed all his bets on Qi Xu, believing that Qi Heng was completely incomparable to him.

After all, Qi Heng was misunderstood and expelled by the previous sect, which affected his reputation, which is why he joined the Immortal Sect.

Perhaps in Qi Rong's view, joining the Immortal Sect meant there would be no future for him, so he had already given up on him from that time on.

How stupid!

"Don't tell me!"

Hu Jiu asked coldly, and kicked Zhang Qinmiao, causing her to collapse to the ground.

Zhang Qinmiao cried uncontrollably, "I really didn't know, it was the master who arranged for her, I didn't know..."

"You dare say you knew absolutely nothing about it?"

Hu Jiu deliberately grazed her neck with the blade of his sword. Zhang Qinmiao immediately felt a pain in her neck and cried out in pain. When she reached down to touch it, she saw blood all over her hand.

Zhang Qinmiao had never seen anything like this before. Her vision went black for a moment, and when she came to her senses, she felt a burning sensation in her pants, which then turned cold—

She lost control of her bladder.

"I... I wanted the master to kick her out, but I really don't know where she is now..."

She covered her face and burst into tears.

Zhang Qinmiao was only a Qi Refining stage cultivator. She had never traveled far from home since she began cultivating, and her talent was also average. She was supported by her parents when she was young, and later, after getting married, she was supported by her Daoist partner.

Unfortunately, her cultivation partner died during his training a few years ago, leaving nothing behind. She struggled for a year but couldn't go on living. Knowing she wasn't cut out for cultivation, she was eager to find a man to help her get through the rest of her days.

She looked down on ordinary male cultivators, and outstanding male cultivators looked down on her. She was also unwilling to marry a rogue cultivator again, because rogue cultivators lived in constant danger, and if they died, wouldn't she become a widow?

So after much thought, she decided to find a wealthy man, so that even if he died, her family would still have enough to eat and drink.

But how could someone who rarely leaves the house know any wealthy lords?

Just as he was racking his brains, he thought of his cousin, Lin Fu, whom he hadn't contacted for several years.

Actually, she didn't have any designs on her cousin's husband at that time. She just wanted to ask her cousin if she had any connections, because she knew that her cousin had married a decent man from a well-off family, and that the couple would definitely know a wealthy man.

This contact led her to learn that her cousin was unwell and sounded weak in the telepathic communication. So, she seized the opportunity and came to Yueyuan City under the pretext of visiting her.

This is absolutely wonderful!

My cousin's health is failing, and she doesn't seem to have many years left to live. She and her husband have long since lost their feelings for each other.

Looking around the Qi household, one could see numerous servants, wealthy masters, and Qi Rong himself, who was also quite handsome. As she sized up Qi Rong, he was also observing his sister-in-law. They exchanged glances, instantly catching each other's eye and agreeing on their point.

Zhang Qinmiao has never experienced wind and sun. Over the years, she has always been well-fed and clothed, and spends her spare money on dressing herself up. She looks much younger and more beautiful than Lin Fu, who has suffered so much.

On her third day at the Qi residence, Zhang Qinmiao climbed into her cousin-in-law's bed and became the Qi family's concubine.

Lin Fu was already in poor health. Although she and Zhang Qinmiao were only distant cousins, she was still very happy to have relatives come to visit. But who knew that she would be betrayed before she could even enjoy her happiness for two days!
She was originally a sword cultivator, straightforward and honest. Upon hearing the news, she immediately coughed up blood and drew her sword, intending to kill Zhang Qinmiao with a single strike!

However, Qi Rong and his guards were present at the time, so she naturally failed.

This terrified Zhang Qinmiao, so she cried and whispered in Qi Rong's ear, trying to get him kicked out of the mansion, otherwise she would feel awkward staying there.

"Good, good aunt, good Aunt Miao." Qi Heng gripped his sword tightly, feeling a pang of heartache at the thought of his missing mother.

If he had known this would happen, he would rather not have gone into seclusion and failed to break through, and just go home and take his mother away!
Don't get entangled with them here, your mother is at the Fallen Flowers Villa!

[Hmph, we can't let the Qi family get away with this. If you ask me, we should empty their storerooms and leave them all starving!]

We need to find someone quickly; Lin Fu might not make it through tomorrow.

Qi Heng's eyelids twitched, and he looked at his junior sister in surprise—

Is Mother at the Fallen Flowers Courtyard?
They won't make it through tomorrow!

“Well, Senior Brother Qi, why don’t we rest here for the night and ask your father tomorrow?” Hu Jiu sheathed his sword. “He got drunk with those two concubines, so even if we go there now, we probably won’t get any information from him.”

He had originally intended to kill Zhang Qinmiao, but his junior sister's words made Hu Jiu change his mind.

No, we can't kill them, at least not now.

Once Zhang Qinmiao is killed, the matter will alarm the entire Qi family, making it extremely difficult to move the warehouse or rescue Lin Fu.

It would be better to keep quiet for now and let people think that Qi Heng has given up on his idea, so that we can do something under the cover of night.

Qi Heng's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he glared hatefully at Zhang Qinmiao. Zhang Qinmiao didn't dare to meet his gaze and almost collapsed to the ground.

She regretted it.

She just wanted to find someone to take care of her for the rest of her life. Anyway, her cousin and Qi Rong had no feelings for each other, and she didn't have much time left, so Zhang Qinmiao didn't feel much guilt about doing this.

But she never expected that her cousin's son would be so capable!
Zhang Qinmiao didn't know Qi Heng's cultivation level, but she could sense the fluctuations of spiritual energy on his body, which was much stronger than Qi Rong's!
Zhang Qinmiao was filled with regret at this moment. If she had known that Qi Heng was so strong, she would have chosen someone else!

"let's go."

Qi Heng sheathed his sword and turned to leave first.

"Let me tell you, behave yourself, don't complain or cause trouble, or we can kill you anytime!" Hu Jiu threatened before leaving.

After leaving Luofang Courtyard, everyone noticed that Qi Heng's arms were trembling.

He almost killed Zhang Qinmiao on the spot!

If it weren't for Mo Jiuwei's words that forced him to calm down and realize that it wasn't advisable to make a scene tonight, he would definitely have taken Zhang Qinmiao's life!
