Chapter 314 - 312: A Real Man
Isn’t it exactly what they wanted to see, Qin Yu and Leng Ruyu walking together?!
Look at those guys from the Cyan Mountain Sect just now, strutting so arrogantly, whose power were they relying on?
Though the Cyan Mountain Sect has Su Xiyue, if Qin Yu became the son-in-law of the Demon Sect, the two great Immortal Sects could at least be on equal footing.
All the elders of the Demon Sect couldn’t help but look at Leng Feng with admiration.
Besides the Nether Bone Elder, most elders didn’t even know about their First Senior Sister being in the Cyan Mountain Sect.
When Leng Ruyu appeared with the Cyan Mountain Sect party earlier, they were so astonished.
But now, they feel that this was the Sect Leader’s foresight, placing Leng Ruyu within the Cyan Mountain Sect to bridge relations with Qin Yu.
Truly deserving of being called Sect Leader.
Such foresight!
Sensing the gazes of the elders, the corners of Leng Feng’s mouth moved slightly.
If he had known this would happen, he would have stayed at the Cyan Mountain Sect.
He definitely wouldn’t have let Qin Yu take advantage!
This isn’t right.
His daughter was living in Su Xiyue’s cave residence, how could the First Fairy not see it?
He was puzzled.
"You’ve kept this from your father for so long, alas..."
The formidable Sect Leader of the Demon Sect looked at his daughter, who was the spitting image of Qin Yu, and sighed softly, with a hint of desolation.
"My daughter has grown up and can’t be retained."
Upon reflection, following Qin Yu might not be a bad thing for his daughter. After all, in the entire Yunlan Domain, the only one who seems to match his daughter is Qin Yu.
The matter has come to this.
Although his heart aches in countless ways, as an old father, now he must think about his daughter’s happiness.
So, he didn’t even intend to assert his authority in front of Qin Yu.
Moreover, he could tell Qin Yu treated his daughter well.
A person’s eyes don’t lie, and he saw the affection his daughter had for Qin Yu.
Furthermore, Qin Yu seemed to protect Leng Ruyu intentionally or unintentionally.
Because of that, he also approved of Qin Yu as a son-in-law.
"Come, join me for a drink!"
With that said, without caring whether Qin Yu and Leng Ruyu were willing, he wrapped his arm around Qin Yu’s shoulder and dragged him away, showing none of the Sect Leader’s usual sternness.
However, this also proved that the Sect Leader of the Demon Sect was not the ruthless character rumors made him out to be; instead, compared to those from the Immortal Sect, he was much more forthright.
"Alright!"
Qin Yu did not refuse.
Having taken someone’s daughter, it’s only right to let them express themselves.
The two sat on the city wall, Leng Feng took out a large jar of wine from his storage ring.
"This is spirit wine I brewed myself, with a lot of spirit medicine added; try it!"
Leng Feng handed a jar to Qin Yu.
Qin Yu hadn’t had much experience with alcohol, but he directly opened it and drank a large sip.
Fiery.
But after it went down, that feeling quickly disappeared.
Obviously, with a Pure Yang Divine Body, the spirit wine couldn’t get him drunk at all.
"Ha ha! Good, a real man!"
Seeing him drink heartily, Leng Feng laughed freely.
The two of them drank together.
In the end, to make the old father feel a little better, Qin Yu decided to pretend to be drunk.
As they parted.
Leng Feng suddenly said, "Don’t let Ruyu be wronged!"
"Don’t worry, father-in-law!"
Leng Ruyu came up to the city wall and took Qin Yu away.
The Sect Leader of the Demon Sect sat on the city wall, drinking until dawn.
...
In the days that followed, Qin Yu would sometimes visit Leng Feng for drinks.
At other times, he naturally stayed inside the City Lord’s Mansion.
Of course, once inside, he spent most of his time in his Lifebound Space.
Unfortunately.
Perhaps the Sect Leader suffered a setback on the Flying Ship and was unwilling to go in.
Among other considerations, he mainly feared being noticed and thus intentionally kept some distance from Qin Yu.
However, each night, this rebellious disciple would enter her room unannounced and severely test his master.
At the same time, news about Qin Yu began circulating in Lin Xian City.
The loose cultivators in the city were shocked to learn of Qin Yu’s current status and position.
Before, the fact that Qin Yu could bring Yin Qinghe and a few women into the Immortal Sect was already incredible to these loose cultivators.
But now, he is reportedly the direct disciple of the Sect Leader and has even gained the appreciation of the Hall Master.
Of course.
Loose cultivators have no clear concept of great figures like the Hall Master.
After all, even an outer sect elder was enough to dominate their lives and deaths, not to mention the Lord of the Immortal Sect, who, in their eyes, was a pinnacle existence.
Though they had no concept, they could glimpse from the Immortal Sect Elders’ attitudes the height of Qin Yu’s current status.
Many people wanted to build a connection, but they dared not approach the City Lord’s Mansion.
Instead, the shopkeeper Xu An of the Danxin Herb Hall and an obscure old cultivator named Wang Bu were granted an audience with Qin Yu.
Wang Bu, thanks to Qin Yu’s merit, is now part of the Danxin Herb Hall and has even become the shopkeeper of a branch.
Why are there branches?!
Given that the new City Lord is an outer sect steward of the Cyan Mountain Sect, he is naturally aware of Qin Yu’s high status within the Immortal Sect.
He had been waiting all along for the day Qin Yu returned to Lin Xian City.
As for the people who once targeted Danxin Herb Hall, like the Cheng Family, they had already been wiped out long ago, requiring not a word from Qin Yu.
The former Cheng Family shops naturally became branches of Danxin Herb Hall.
Upon seeing Qin Yu again, both Xu An and Wang Bu were filled with anxiety.
While Qin Yu could maintain a calm demeanor towards them, they dared not show any disrespect or harbor any expectations.
To be honest, the benefits Qin Yu left for them had already been immense, to the extent that even the City Lord treated them with courtesy.
This was something they never even dared to dream of before.
"Sir, these are the Spirit Stones earned by Danxin Herb Hall over the years, and these are the accounts."
Xu An, bending low with humility, raised a thick account book and a storage ring above his head, presenting them to Qin Yu.
The reason for lifting them above his head was because they had been bowing all along, not daring to raise their eyes.
Because upon entering, they knew that the Lord of the Immortal Sect was residing here, even if in the inner room, they didn’t dare to look up.
Qin Yu paused, glancing slightly at the account book.
The beautiful master had entrusted the Danxin Herb Hall to Xu An, who continued diligently in his role as shopkeeper.
Indeed, a loyal person.
"Keep these Spirit Stones for yourselves!"
Qin Yu did not take the storage ring.
In truth, these lower-grade Spirit Stones were of little use to him anymore.
He still felt a degree of fondness toward both Xu An and Wang Bu.
However, he realized now that they could no longer converse normally, because... they were too afraid.
In the end, he could only send them off with a wry smile.
