Gongsun Ming hesitated for a moment, not expecting Qin Changqing to be so ‘open and upright’. Should he call him shameless or straightforward?

“Ridiculous.” Gongsun Yang sneered, “You, a disciple of the Lingxiao Sect, dare to bully my Gongsun family?”

Qin Changqing retorted: “What dog thing are you? I’m talking to the Gongsun family head, do you have a say? What are you? You don’t have human features or cultivation, and you dare to talk to me? Get lost, ugly bastard!” “You!” Gongsun Yang’s anger made his fingers tremble.

Gongsun Ming furrowed his brows, finding it difficult to figure out Qin

Changqing.

Logically, since he knew Gongsun Ming’s identity, he should be clear about the current situation.

Although the Lingxiao Sect is strong, a disciple like him shouldn’t be strong enough to challenge Gongsun Ming, the leader of Yinxu Prefecture, right?

After all, his strength isn’t that high either.

Or is it because of her?

Gongsun Ming looked at Qin Lingshuang; though young, her strength surpassed Murong Ba and her status within the sect was likely not low.

“Qin Daoyou.” Gongsun Ming calmly said, “Let’s all be frank. The Murong family has long been engaged to my Gongsun family. Now that you are openly proposing, how can my Gongsun family save face? You have the support of the Lingxiao Sect, so you don’t need to fear my family, but what about the Murong family?”

As he said this, he looked towards Murong Xue and continued, “You should be aware that once you leave with him, the Murong family’s situation will not be as good as it is today.”

He knew that he couldn’t reason with Qin Changqing.

So, he planned to approach it from Murong Xue’s side.

As long as Murong Xue rejects Qin Changqing, the marriage alliance between them and the Murong family will remain unchanged.

After all, Qin Changqing can’t force Murong Xue.

“Ah, Gongsun family head, isn’t it amusing how this situation turned out?” Before Murong Xue could respond, Qin Changqing took out a token and said with a smirk, “A few days ago, I returned to the mountain and my Master specially gave me this token, allowing me to take a position in Yinxu Prefecture as a steward. From today onwards, I’m afraid I’ll be living in Yinxu Prefecture.”

The crowd was taken aback.

Steward of Yinxu Prefecture?

Then this position would make him equal to Gongsun Ming.

Moreover, Yinxu Prefecture is close to the Lingxiao Sect and under the administration of MO Jiuzhou. If one were to calculate, Qin Changqing would hold even more power than Gongsun Ming.

After all, no one knows if MO Jiuzhou has any other ‘big plans’ in mind.

If there really were plans, going against Qin Changqing would be the same as going against MO Jiuzhou himself, wouldn’t it?

Murong Ba hesitated for a moment before a joyful expression appeared on his face. “So it’s Steward Qin, I apologize for the rudeness. Xue’er, why didn’t you tell me about such an important matter earlier?”

Murong Xue couldn’t help but think: As soon as he arrived, my brother was ready to fight and you had such an intimidating attitude, when would I have had the chance to speak?

“Come, come, don’t stand outside. Please come in and have a chat.” Murong Ba didn’t continue questioning Murong Xue.

It had to be said that the Murong family’s ability to survive in Yinxu Prefecture for so long was not without reason. Just look at Murong Ba’s thick-skinned face – even Qin Changqing felt somewhat inferior.

Just a moment ago, they were ready to fight, and now they were warmly inviting them in, almost wishing to call Qin Changqing their ‘son-in-law’.

“Gongsun Family head, why don’t we have a meal together and chat?” Qin

Changqing looked at Gongsun Ming with a smile.

The latter’s face darkened, and he coldly replied: “Steward Qin…very well. But the affairs of Yinxu Prefecture are not as simple as those on Xuanyi Peak. I hope Steward Qin will be more cautious in the future.”

“I’ll return that advice to the Gongsun Family head, be careful when walking at night.”

“Hmph!”

Gongsun Ming left with a wave of his sleeve.

Seeing this, the others also left one after another.

Qin Changqing felt secretly pleased, not expecting that playing the role of a villain who bullied others with power would feel so good.

The farce at the entrance of the Murong family ended with all three parties reaching a consensus in a very harmonious way.

Murong Ba had already made up his mind to side with Qin Changqing. He wasn’t a fool; he could see how close Murong Xue was to Qin Changqing. Since there was no room for maneuver in this situation, he might as well stick to one path until the end.

Although the Gongsun family had been offended, they had not suffered any actual losses, so they could accept the outcome.

However, because of this, they were likely to clash with the Qin family in Yinxu Prefecture in the future.

Qin Changqing didn’t care. There were bound to be obstacles for the Qin family to enter Yinxu Prefecture, and it was obvious that even if they didn’t provoke anyone, someone would come looking for trouble eventually, especially families like Gongsun’s who were attached to the Dayan Dynasty.

So, the best choice for Qin Changqing now was to quickly expand his power, bind the Murong family to him, and pave the way for the arrival of the Qin family.

Well, aren’t the resources of my wife’s family technically mine, too?

Of course, the old fox Murong Ba wouldn’t act without profit, so if Qin Changqing ended up at a disadvantage, he would definitely try to abandon ship and escape.

So, the most important thing now was to quickly develop the Qin family.

The banquet hadn’t even ended yet, so Qin Changqing left a congratulatory gift and left the Murong Mansion with Qin Lingshuang and Murong Xue.

Before they left, they visited Murong Xue’s father, who had lost his leg and his qi sea had been wasted. He had no hope left in his life.

Although Murong Xue had a strained relationship with her father, she still ordered someone to take good care of him since she was his daughter. After an hour, she finally left with Qin Changqing.

“Senior Brother, where are we going next?” Qin Lingshuang asked.

“Of course, to secure the position of steward.” Qin Changqing said, “Yinxu Prefecture is more complicated than I imagined. Even as a member of the sect, we have to be careful while taking care of things here.” As they conversed, the three of them arrived at the Sect office.

Before they entered, they saw a bounty notice posted at the entrance.

“Bounty – Witch Si Hongyue of the Huntian Sect has a brutal and cunning character. She ruthlessly murdered the Lingxiao Sect’s Steward Mu Tao. A reward is offered: A thousand Fairy Stones for verified information on Si Hongyue, ten thousand Fairy Stones, and one Lower-grade Spirit Weapon for killing her…”

Qin Changqing was stunned.

So this was how he got the position of steward.

The Huntian Sect, the biggest demonic power in Tianchuan State, was a top-tier fourth-grade power and much stronger than the Lingxiao Sect.

Both the righteous and evil factions fought countless battles every year.

So, the death of a steward from a righteous sect wasn’t a particularly special event when looking at the larger picture of the conflict between the two factions.

Qin Changqing was only interested in this because he had ended up replacing the unlucky steward who was killed. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had such an easy time coming to Yinxu Prefecture.

But, on the other hand, the strong dragon can’t suppress the local snake, and at least here in Yinxu Prefecture, demonic cultivators shouldn’t dare to act so recklessly.

Now, however, a steward has been killed.

This matter could be big or small, but undoubtedly, it touched the sect’s face, so they issued a bounty.

Although the Huntian Sect was much stronger than the Lingxiao Sect, this was Lingxiao Sect’s territory, and the Huntian Sect wouldn’t dare to openly attack it. If they did, not only other sects but also the Dayan Dynasty wouldn’t turn a blind eye..
