Son, Put Your Father To The Test - Chapter 7

Chapter 7: Father’s Love is so Sweet!

Translator: Zayn_

Thinking about his invincible father and the vast and exciting outside world, Qin Zi was filled with anticipation.

Having a powerful father was great!

“Please wait.”

At this moment, a polite voice sounded.

Qin Chuan turned around and saw a neatly-dressed old man with a few maids and servants following him.

“Butler Mu?”

Qin Chuan recognized this old man. He was the butler of the City Lord’s mansion.

The City Lord’s mansion belonged to the imperial family of Nine Sun Dynasty. Every large-scale city had a City Lord’s mansion to help the imperial family manage their territory.

Their biggest responsibility was…

Collecting taxes!

Previously, as the head of the Qin family, Qin Chuan could be said to be a big taxpayer in Xunyang City. He had some friendship with the City Lord’s mansion.

“Head of the Qin family, the City Lord invites you.”

Butler Mu said with a smile.

“I’m no longer the head of the Qin family.”

Qin Chuan shook his head and said.

“It doesn’t matter. It’s just a title. Other than you, no one in Xunyang City is qualified to be called the head of the Qin family.”

Butler Mu was 70% exaggerating and 30% sincere.

However, in terms of contributions to the Qin family, the old Qin Chuan was one of the best in the entire history of the Qin family’s development.

During the years of Qin Chuan’s reign, he had racked his brains, allowing the Qin family’s business and influence to expand by more than half.

This was also the reason why Qin Chuan was disappointed in the Qin family.

All of you are eating my food and spending my money, yet you are so cold to me. What use do I have for you?!

“Is there something the City Lord needs from us?”

Qin Chuan asked.

“Hehe, City Lord heard that the Qin family’s head is leaving Xunyang City. He wants to fulfill the Qin family’s friendship. It’s not a waste of all these years of friendship.”

Butler Mu said with a smile.

When Qin Chuan heard this, the relevant memories of the City Lord appeared in his mind.

The City Lord of Xunyang City was called Mu Yuncang. He was at the half-step Pure Yang realm and could be considered the number one expert of Xunyang City!

The relationship between the master of the Qin family and the City Lord was as gentle as water.

“Since the City Lord has such intentions, then it would be impolite for us to reject him.”

Qin Chuan calculated Mu Yuncang’s strength and cupped his hands with a smile as a form of agreement.

If the other party’s strength was weaker than his, he would be too lazy to patronize them, but the other party seemed to be slightly stronger than him.

This could be manipulated…

“Family head Qin, please.”

Butler Mu clearly did not know what Qin Chuan was thinking and very politely made a “Please” gesture.

…

Soon, the group of people arrived at the City Lord’s mansion.

The City Lord’s mansion was very imposing.

But in general, it was not much different from the Qin family. After all, the Qin family was a noble family in Xunyang City. It was already luxurious enough.

“Brother Qin, long time no see.”

City Lord Mu Yuncang personally brought people out to welcome them. His face was full of smiles. It could be said that he had given enough face to Qin Chuan.

“Brother Mu is too polite.”

Qin Chuan smiled and returned the greeting.

“I heard that Brother Qin is about to leave Xunyang City, so I specially prepared some wine to welcome brother Qin.”

Mu Yuncang smiled and said.

“Thank you.”

Qin Chuan said again.

“Greetings, Uncle Qin.”

At this moment, a young girl in a white dress around Qin Zi’s age came forward and greeted him gently.

“This is Qianyun, right?”

Qin Chuan asked with a smile. He remembered that Mu Yuncang had a daughter called Mu Qianyun, whom he had met a few years ago.

“Haha, my daughter has always lived in seclusion and seldom goes out. It’s rare for Brother Qin to still remember her.”

Mu Yuncang smiled and then looked at Qin Zi. He said, “I heard that nephew Qin Zi has recovered from a serious illness and his strength has greatly increased. He even defeated Qin Meng. His future is indeed limitless.”

“Brother Mu, you are flattering me.”

Qin Chuan humbly said.

Mu Yuncang looked at the sun above his head and said, “Looking at the time, it’s time for lunch. Let’s go in and have lunch first.”

After saying that, he pulled Qin Chuan and walked in with great enthusiasm.

Meanwhile, the young girl, Mu Qianyun, secretly sized up Qin Zi. She seemed to be a little curious about this youth of the same age…

…

After a long time, the lunch ended.

City Lord Mu Yuncang had passionately urged Qin Chuan and his son to stay the night at the City Lord’s Mansion and leave the next day.

Qin Chuan naturally wouldn’t refuse.

This was exactly what he wanted!

He hadn’t achieved his goal yet, so how could he leave?

In a luxurious guest house with two bedrooms and one living room.

Qin Zi was cultivating in his room.

Qin Chuan was sitting in the living room.

He first gave the room a meaningful glance and gave a warning look to the ‘Peeping Tom’ who might be there.

Then, he calmly took out a small pitch-black pill and put it into the teapot.

Then, he began to brew tea.

This small pill was the most precious treasure he had bought at a pharmacy at a high price. It was said that a rare spirit herb was ruined by a short-sighted apprentice and turned into a small pill.

The only function of this pill was to make people lose their rationality for a short period of time, causing them to explode and hurt others!

It was a slow-acting medicine.

Moreover, it would only begin to take effect after two hours of drinking. Once it took effect, it would be as violent as a flood, and it could not be stopped!

Previously, he did not know how to use this medicine, but now he had found a place to use it.

It was completely exclusive to scamming his son!

As long as his cheap son went berserk and injured Mu Qianyun, even if it was just a small cut, it would be enough for Mu Yuncang, who loved his daughter like his life, to hang him up and beat him up!

In this way, wouldn’t he be able to level up?

Previously, he had observed that Mu Qianyun’s cultivation was not weak and was on par with his cheap son. Even if his cheap son suddenly launched an attack, it would not be able to cause too serious of an injury.

Moreover, the City Lord’s mansion was only so big. Once a fight broke out, he would be discovered instantly. It would be too easy to stop him.

Therefore, Mu Qianyun would not be too badly injured.

He was a person who clearly distinguished between kindness and hatred. Since they were invited as guests, he would not really let Qin Zi injure their daughter.

“Mm, I’m just waiting for the banquet.”

The corners of Qin Chuan’s mouth curled up slightly. Then, he closed his eyes to rest.

Time passed slowly.

In the evening, Qin Zi finished his cultivation and walked out of his room. He looked refreshed.

“You’ve been cultivating for half a day. Have a sip of tea.”

Qin Chuan poured a cup of tea and handed it to him.

“Thank you, Father.”

Qin Zi took the teacup and drank it in one gulp without any hesitation. Then, he praised, “This tea is a little sweet.”

Qin Chuan smiled slightly.

He guessed that it was probably psychological. After all, the little pill he used to brew the tea was used to treat kidney deficiency. It didn’t contain sugar!

What really made the cheapskate son feel sweetness was the fatherly love…

“Knock knock!”

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Then, a maid’s respectful voice sounded, “Family head Qin, Young Master Qin, dinner is ready. Please follow me to eat.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Qin Chuan said politely.

“Ah… Family head Qin is too polite…”

The maid outside the door immediately made a strange sound, as if she was overwhelmed by the favor, but also seemed to have removed the middle word.

Soon.

The father and son arrived at the location of the banquet under the guidance of the maid. This time, it was on a rooftop.

This was a building made of stone. It was the highest place in the City Lord’s mansion, and also the highest place in Xunyang City.

Standing here, one could not only see the entire Xunyang City, but also the Xunyang River outside the city and the sunset in the horizon.

“Hahaha, Brother Qin, you’re here. Please take your seats.”

City Lord Mu Yuncang said enthusiastically.

After everyone took their seats, he said, “I got a bottle of rare wine last month. Let’s taste it together today.”

After saying that, he clapped his hands.

Soon, a group of maids began to serve the dishes. All kinds of delicacies quickly filled the table.

Finally, a maid brought over a wine jar. It was a clay-sealed pottery jar that looked old.

“!”

Mu Yuncang slapped the jar open, then handed it to his daughter and said, “Yun’er, pour the wine.”

“Yes, Father.”

Mu Qianyun acknowledged obediently. Then, she walked over and poured the wine for Qin Chuan, then Qin Zi. Finally, she poured the wine for her father. As for herself… of course, she didn’t drink.

As a young lady from a wealthy family, drinking in front of outsiders was detrimental to her image.

“Brother Qin, Let’s eat. Good wine goes with good dishes. Once the dishes get cold, they won’t taste good.”

Mu Yuncang said with a smile.

And so, the banquet began.

This banquet was very sumptuous. All kinds of delicacies filled Qin Zi’s stomach. When the dishes on the table got cold, some maids even changed them to hot ones.

Mu Qianyun, on the other hand, obediently refilled their glasses with wine. This made Qin Zi have a great impression of this beautiful and sensible girl of the same age!

This meal lasted for more than an hour.

Finally, they were full.

“Brother Qin, are you satisfied with this banquet?” At this moment, Mu Yuncang suddenly asked.

“It’s not bad. Thank you for your hospitality, Brother Mu.”

Qin Chuan smiled and cupped his hands.

“Mm… Brother Qin, with your intelligence, you should have guessed it. Today, I actually have something important to discuss with you.”

Mu Yuncang said.

When Qin Chuan heard this, he laughed in his heart.

I’ve been waiting for this!

Otherwise, how would my son be alone with your daughter? And then commit a crime?

“I know.”

Qin Chuan nodded calmly and then suggested, “Why don’t we let Qianyun bring Qin Zi around the City Lord’s mansion? We can talk here.”

“That’s great!”

Mu Yuncang’s eyes lit up. Then, he smiled and said to his daughter, “Yun’er, bring Young Master Qin to the garden for a walk.”

“Yes, Father.”

Mu Qianyun nodded and bowed slightly to Qin Chuan. She then left with Qin Zi, whose face was slightly red..
