Chapter 67

Qin Jintian, Qin Muyu's great-grandfather, was the head of the Qin family from the previous generation. He was a legendary figure who had basically retired, was rarely known, but was extremely powerful and had countless legends surrounding him.

But at this moment, Qin Jintian had quietly come to Changcheng and was near the Qin family's Changcheng villa. He just hadn't entered the villa.

By Qin Jintian's side was the current head of the Qin family, Qin Muyu's father—Qin Pengyi!

And by Qin Pengyi's side was a stunningly beautiful woman in her forties. She was Qin Pengyi's wife, Qin Muyu's mother—Mi Gaolan!

In addition to these three, there were also some Qin family secret guards.

With the presence of one of the ancestors, Qin Jintian, and the current head, Qin Pengyi, and the head's wife, Mi Gaolan, the Qin family could not afford to be careless. Secret guards accompanied them to ensure safety.

Although with Qin Jintian's strength, he didn't need the protection of the secret guards... but if something unexpected happened, it wouldn't be right for Qin Jintian to have to take action himself, right? Without someone to run errands, how could that be acceptable?

"Grandfather, rest for a while. I'll call you when the next person comes to report!" Qin Pengyi said respectfully.

The Qin family had strict rules, and the head of the family had immense power. In a strict sense, he could command anyone in the Qin family.

But in reality, rules were rules, and most of the time, Qin Pengyi, as the head of the family, still had to listen to the opinions of his elders.

Qin Jintian was Qin Pengyi's direct grandson, and he naturally respected him greatly.

The most critical point was that Qin Jintian was already very old.

Qin Pengyi was already forty-nine years old! Qin Jintian was over a hundred.

Although with Qin Jintian's Foundation Establishment level, he could live for two hundred years. In reality, regardless of the level, once one passed a hundred, their physical functions began to decline. Not using spiritual energy was fine, but once it was used in combat, it would greatly consume one's lifespan.

Generally, Foundation Establishment experts didn't engage in combat much, especially those who were very old. This was the reason.

Actually, it wasn't just cultivators; ancient martial artists and psychics were the same.

Those ancient martial artists who reached the Innate realm and psychics who surpassed the ninth level rarely acted once they passed a hundred. They just existed as a deterrent force.

Therefore, more often than not, Qin Pengyi didn't treat Qin Jintian as a powerful Foundation Establishment cultivator but rather as an ordinary old man to take care of.

"Grandfather, what Pengyi said makes sense. But resting in the car isn't comfortable. I'll take you to the hotel. After all, the most critical moment is tomorrow. There's no need for you to keep watching here!" Mi Gaolan said softly.

"Alright! I noticed that you all feel uncomfortable with me here. I'll go to the hotel to rest. No need to send me. If there's any special situation, report it to me in time!" Qin Jintian looked worriedly at the distant villa and sighed slightly in his heart.

In Qin Muyu's generation, there were quite a few with good talent, but none could match Qin Muyu!

This was someone who, as long as they didn't die, was destined to become a Foundation Establishment expert, becoming one of the foundations of the Qin family, bringing great strength and long-term stability and honor to the Qin family.

Therefore, whether from blood ties or the greater good of the family, Qin Jintian did not want Qin Muyu to succumb to fate.

A car came silently from behind, picked up Qin Jintian, and turned to leave.

Qin Pengyi waved to disperse the secret guards and instructed, "Protect the entire villa. From now until tomorrow, I don't want anyone to disturb here!"

The secret guards quickly dispersed.

Even those who stayed to protect Qin Pengyi were hidden.

Only Qin Pengyi and Mi Gaolan remained in the car.

"Is there any news from your father?" Qin Pengyi asked.

"His phone is off, and I can't contact him. But even if the search fails, my father won't forget tomorrow. I believe he will definitely return!" Mi Gaolan said softly.

"A thousand-year-old snow lotus... even a five-hundred-year-old snow lotus, does it even exist now? Your father is bound to be in vain!" Qin Pengyi's face was full of bitter smiles.

Xunzhen provided the Qin family with some information, listing some items, saying that if they could obtain these items, it would greatly improve Qin Muyu's condition... although he didn't explicitly say it would help Qin Muyu survive the twenty-second year. But since it was said to be very helpful, the Qin family took it seriously.

Relying on the Qin family's capabilities, finding some items wasn't too difficult. Even if some items were very rare and precious, they still managed to obtain them.

These items played a significant role in Qin Muyu's previous birthdays.

But the most precious thousand-year-old snow lotus was nowhere to be found.

And Xunzhen also said that a snow lotus less than a thousand years old would be useless for Qin Muyu.

The Qin family really tried their best to find it. Unfortunately, they still didn't find it.

With the earth's spiritual energy becoming increasingly thin and the development of technology allowing people to reach many previously uninhabited places, many treasures had been picked clean over time!

Finding a thousand-year-old snow lotus was like a dream.

The Qin family had already given up in despair.

But Mi Gaolan's father, Qin Pengyi's father-in-law, and Qin Muyu's grandfather—Mi Endei—had not given up.

Even with a slim hope, he had no intention of giving up.

Mi Endei was also a cultivator and had already advanced to the Foundation Establishment level! But compared to the Qin family, Mi Endei was just a wandering cultivator.

But his strength was formidable, and he could reach many places others couldn't!

So, he always held hope!

Unfortunately, at this point, Mi Endei still hadn't appeared. Everyone knew the possibility of finding a thousand-year-old snow lotus was very low.

"This is my father's intention. Otherwise, he won't be at ease... It's a torment!" Mi Gaolan said softly.

"I understand your father's intention. But finding a thousand-year-old snow lotus is extremely difficult. Moreover, I'm most afraid that your father will delve into some places... you know, some places are very strange, and even Foundation Establishment experts might encounter accidents. Do you know where your father went?" Qin Pengyi said worriedly.

"Kunlun Mountain... the signal disappeared there!" Mi Gaolan's face also showed worry.

"Once we have results from Muyu, if your father still hasn't appeared, we'll send people to search." Qin Pengyi said softly, "I hope nothing happens!"

"My father is a man of good fortune; nothing will happen to him!" Mi Gaolan comforted.

Qin Pengyi sighed!

As the head of the Qin family, how glorious was his position? Unfortunately, he had many unsatisfactory aspects.

"Pengyi, it's all my fault. If I could still bear a child, if something happened to Muyu, we wouldn't be without our own child. You should have remarried. Your lineage cannot be cut off here!" Mi Gaolan said softly. The Qin family had a long history, and although it had adapted to the times, some ancient customs hadn't changed much, including polygamy!

It was just that Qin Pengyi deeply loved Mi Gaolan and didn't take a concubine.

But after giving birth to Qin Muyu, Mi Gaolan had an accident and couldn't bear children anymore.

So, Mi Gaolan had always been urging Qin Pengyi to take a concubine, at least to have a son to continue the main lineage of the Qin family.

A boy, that was heaven!

Even if Qin Muyu overcame fate and grew into a Foundation Establishment expert, without a son, the position of head of the family would gradually deviate from the main lineage.

"My thoughts, don't you know? Don't mention this again. Besides, the main lineage isn't just me. My brothers can inherit the position of head of the family, which is also part of the main lineage. The power of the head of the family won't fall into others' hands!" Qin Pengyi said with a smile, "Even if it falls to a collateral branch, isn't it still the blood of the Qin family? As long as the Qin family can last, these are secondary issues!" Qin Pengyi said with a smile.

"Ah!" Mi Gaolan sighed slightly. Qin Pengyi's love made her feel satisfied, but also guilty!

The main lineage and collateral branches, although both part of the Qin family, could they be exactly the same? How could they be!

For a large family like the Qin family, the internal affairs were extremely complex.

Not to mention, if a collateral branch took the position of head of the family, it could even affect Qin Jintian's status in the family... after all, the old ancestors of the same generation as Qin Jintian also had the qualifications, conditions, and strength to be respected by more people!

"Alright, someone is here to report!" Qin Pengyi smiled slightly.

At this moment, in the night, a figure flashed and came to the car, saying respectfully, "Changcheng villa manager Fan Ming, paying respects to the head of the family!"

"Fan Ming, come in!" Qin Pengyi said with a smile.

"Thank you, head of the family!" Fan Ming came in and, seeing Mi Gaolan, hurriedly greeted, "Paying respects to the lady!"

"Fan Ming, no need for formalities. I'll ask you, how is Muyu now?" Mi Gaolan asked anxiously.

"Reporting to the lady, Miss has just come out of Mr. Gu's room for the fifth time. The fifth treatment has ended!" Fan Ming said.

"Did Muyu have any instructions?" Qin Pengyi asked.

"No! Miss didn't reveal any information to me!" Fan Ming said, "But about an hour ago, Mr. Gu's friend, Cheng Shumeng, briefly entered the treatment room."

"Oh, what is this Cheng Shumeng's background?" Qin Pengyi asked.

Now he had detailed information about Gu Fan, Chu Xiaowei, and Chen Jiaxin, but not about Cheng Shumeng.

"Here is Cheng Shumeng's information!" Fan Ming was well-prepared!

Qin Pengyi looked at it. Cheng Shumeng's information was nothing special, quite normal.

But why did Cheng Shumeng have the right to enter the treatment room?

"Stop here... no need to continue the investigation." Qin Pengyi put down the information. As a friend of Gu Fan, a slight investigation by the Qin family was fine, but if it went too deep, it might alert Gu Fan. If Gu Fan found out and was unhappy, it would backfire.

"Yes!" Fan Ming accepted the order.

"Go, don't tell Muyu we are here. Monitor closely, and if anything happens to Muyu, inform us in time!" Mi Gaolan said.

"Yes, lady!" Fan Ming bowed and left.
