Hearing Qin Chu mention the marriage contract, Qin Lingxi frowned, “That marriage contract is already in name only. What do you plan to do?”
“Later, I’ll go to the Azure Dragon Holy Clan and communicate with them to cancel the marriage. Afterward, we’ll go our separate ways and not hinder each other,” Qin Chu said after thinking for a moment.
Qin Lingxi nodded, “In this world, no one is unworthy of anyone. Our Vermilion Bird Holy Clan is currently in decline, but that doesn’t mean we’ll always be. When you go, observe the Azure Dragon Holy Clan’s attitude. If they have no intention, we won’t force it and won’t humble ourselves.”
Qin Chu nodded. He hadn't thought about matters of love between men and women yet. What he was thinking about now was how to rescue his parents, and also Qing Yi, who had paid a great price for him to live. Qing Yi was imprisoned in the Profound Ice Dungeon by the Black Tortoise Holy Clan, and he hadn't forgotten that.
After looking at Qin Chu, Qin Lingxi left. Since she knew Qian Lingwu was Qin Chu's friend, she could make arrangements to bring her over.
Qin Lingxi left, and Qin Chu resumed Cultivating. What he pursued now was the improvement of his strength.
When night fell, Qin Chu thought for a moment and came to the courtyard where Qin Longhan was resting.
In the courtyard, Qin Longhan was sitting in a recliner, a blanket over his legs, looking at the night sky.
“Grandfather!” Qin Chu greeted him.
“Qin Chu, come in, quickly sit down! Grandfather hasn't been feeling well and wanted to visit you, but never made it,” Qin Longhan said, pointing to the spot beside him.
Qin Chu brewed a pot of tea before sitting down.
“Grandfather, where are you injured, and what Medicinal Pill do you need to recover?” Qin Chu asked after sitting down.
“My Dantian was shattered, my body was invaded by Flame Thunder energy, and my Qi and Blood were severely damaged. It’s already good enough that I’m alive,” Qin Longhan said. He was severely injured in that battle back then, and being alive was indeed a blessing in disguise.
“Will a Muscle Regeneration Pill work?” Qin Chu asked.
“It can heal injuries to Qi and Blood, but the Dantian cannot be restored. Don’t go looking for any Materials. Grandfather knows you’ve already paid a huge price for your Third Uncle,” Qin Longhan said, looking at Qin Chu.
Qin Chu slapped his forehead. Why didn't he come earlier? He still had two Muscle Regeneration Pills.
Back then, Chu Shan used one-third of the meat ganoderma to refine a batch of Muscle Regeneration Pills, and three pills were produced. Qin Longxuan used one, leaving him with two.
Qin Chu took out both Medicinal Pill bottles and pushed them towards Qin Longhan. “Grandfather, Qin Chu was muddled. I had Muscle Regeneration Pills on me but didn't come to ask about your condition. Please take them quickly.”
“You still have Muscle Regeneration Pills?” Qin Longhan looked at Qin Chu in surprise. Qin Longxuan had told him about his recovery, and they all thought Qin Chu only had one, but now Qin Chu had produced more Muscle Regeneration Pills.
Qin Longhan took a Muscle Regeneration Pill and began to meditate, with Qin Chu guarding by his side.
Not long after, Qin Chu saw streams of purplish-black energy emerge from Qin Longhan's body. As these purplish-black energies left his body, Qin Longhan's complexion slowly changed from pale to rosy.
As the moon hung high, Qin Longhan exhaled a breath of turbid Qi, then stood up, walked a circle, and sat down again.
“Qin Chu, do you know, because my Qi and Blood were so severely depleted, Grandfather only had one year of Lifespan left, but now there’s no problem. My body has fully recovered, just without Origin Qi,” Qin Longhan said, looking at Qin Chu.
“It’s good that Grandfather is fine!” Qin Chu was very happy. Curing Qin Longhan was like fulfilling filial piety for his father.
“Go find someone to get some wine. Our grandparents and grandson will have a drink,” Qin Longhan said to Qin Chu.
Qin Chu called Qin Longhan’s attendant to get some dishes, and he took out a jar of wine from his Storage Ring.
With his body recovered, Qin Longhan was in high spirits, and he and Qin Chu drank heartily from large bowls.
“What are you doing? Qin Chu, are you being foolish? Don’t you know Grandfather isn’t well?” Qin Lingxi arrived, carrying a pot of tonic into the courtyard. The scene that met her eyes made her very angry. She was very clear about Qin Longhan’s physical condition; he would be out of breath after just a few steps, and now he was drinking heavily from large bowls.
Qin Chu was a little stunned. This was the first time Qin Lingxi had reprimanded him.
“Why are you shouting? Qin Chu isn’t being foolish. Qin Chu brought Medicinal Pills and has restored my body. What’s wrong with our grandparents and grandson having a drink?” Seeing his daughter reprimand his grandson, Qin Longhan slammed the table directly.
Qin Lingxi was dumbfounded by Qin Longhan’s shout. One had to know that Qin Longhan usually didn't speak loudly, because it would aggravate his lung injuries, but now it was clearly not the case.
“Father, are you all right?” Qin Lingxi scrutinized Qin Longhan, her eyes full of surprise.
“Of course, I’m fine. I don’t know why you’re making such a fuss,” Qin Longhan said, looking at his daughter with some helplessness.
After another look at her father, and confirming he was fine, Qin Lingxi tossed the tonic she was carrying over the courtyard wall. “Father has recovered. If you’re going to drink, you should invite your daughter too.”
“Continue drinking!” Qin Longhan said, looking at Qin Chu.
“Qin Chu, Auntie was a bit anxious just now, mainly worried that you two didn’t know your limits. It wasn’t that I wanted to yell at you,” Qin Lingxi said, looking at Qin Chu.
Qin Chu shook his head, “Auntie, not to mention just a reprimand, even if you hit me, your nephew would have no complaints. Your nephew can’t forget how your hair turned white in an instant for my sake.”
Qin Lingxi patted Qin Chu's shoulder heavily, “You are a sensible child. Our three generations will have a good drink tonight.”
They had a very enjoyable drink, and Qin Chu returned to his own courtyard feeling a bit tipsy.
The next day, members of the Vermilion Bird Holy Clan noticed something strange. The old Clan Chief and Young Lord had always been out of sight, but today the old Clan Chief appeared, and when he reprimanded people, he was full of vigor, scolding them thoroughly. Everyone felt that the old Clan Chief of the past had returned.
While Qin Chu was Cultivating the Thousand Waves Sword, Qin Longhan entered the courtyard.
“Grandfather, you’re here. How do you feel?” Qin Chu asked after sheathing his sword.
“Very good! I’m full of strength. Even without Origin Qi Cultivation, killing some small fries from the White Tiger Holy Clan and the Flame Thunder Holy Clan is no problem,” Qin Longhan said.
Qin Chu invited Qin Longhan to sit down. He knew Qin Longhan’s words were not an exaggeration. Holy Clan members have strong Bloodline Power. Even without Origin Qi, relying only on their bodies, their combat power is very formidable, just like how he could kill tigers and leopards before he Cultivated Origin Qi.
“You keep this. One pill is enough for Grandfather,” Qin Longhan said, handing a Medicinal Pill bottle to Qin Chu. Last night, Qin Chu had taken out two Muscle Regeneration Pills, but he had only taken one.
“Grandfather, please keep it. Many of our clansmen are injured by Flame Thunder energy, so this Medicinal Pill will still be used,” Qin Chu said.
While Qin Chu and Qin Longhan were chatting.
In an inn in a small town not far from Vermilion Bird Villa, Qin Lingxi met a person: Qian Lingwu, who was carrying a long spear.
“Are you looking for Qin Chu?” Qin Lingxi asked, looking at Qian Lingwu. “Yes!” Qian Lingwu, dressed in a white silk dress and carrying a long spear, exuded a heroic aura.
“Qin Chu’s situation is quite special, and some things cannot be exposed!” Qin Lingxi said after thinking for a moment. She wanted to know Qian Lingwu’s attitude.
