Chapter 521 Envious
Lin Yao kept wandering around, not looking for the spiritual plant.
Having followed the Second Young Master Su around for a while, he raised an eyebrow: "What's the meaning of this?"
Young Master Su looked completely bewildered: "Yeah, what do you mean?"
Lin Yao laughed: "It's not the fortune of your Duke Su's mansion."
Second Young Master Su: "..."
Indeed, there was no way to refute it.
At first, he was convinced that it was the good fortune of their Duke Su's mansion.
But could this biased fortune really belong to their Duke Su's mansion?
It's more accurate to say that the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion has good fortune, but they've mistreated the Su family members. They've been quite kind to the Qin Yan Marquis's people, but it has nothing to do with the Rong King's mansion. Lin Yao didn't even join any of the groups.
As for Qin Bi? Young Master Su felt that she didn't have the luck of the Rong Prince's Mansion.
"No." Young Master Su turned back. "I have to go ask."
Lin Yao followed up: "Why don't you ask me?"
The Second Young Master Su did not ask Lin Yao. It was true that Lin Yao was the chief strategist by the side of the Prince of Rong’s son, but Lin Yao had just said that it was not the fortune of their Duke Su’s mansion.
He asked again? He guessed that Lin Yao's answer wouldn't be something he'd like to hear either.
The second young master of the Su family, with its powerful fortune and great prestige, kept walking without stopping.
When Su Er Gongzi returned, Qin Tan and Qin Di discussed finding a place to rest. It was almost dark, but Qin Lang, Rong Yan, and Jiang Xu were a little excited and didn't want to leave. They wanted to look for a place some more.
Qin Bi felt that she wouldn't find anything even if she searched further, and said with a smile, "Let's look again tomorrow, it's too late now."
If your cultivation level is low, you should find a place to rest as soon as possible.
They arrive late, so they probably have something to collect. If others think that way, they'll notice them. Why bother? Their team's strength is only good enough to find some very common spiritual plants and herbs.
Once you collect a little too much stuff, someone will start to steal it.
Qin Tan thought the same thing: "Let's go."
"Let's keep looking." Young Master Su didn't want to leave.
Prince Su glared at him: "It's getting late. It gets dark quickly in winter. I'm afraid it will be dark by the time we find a place to rest. It's good to find a place to rest now."
Su Shizi, Qin Tang, and Qin Xun walked in front, while Qin Bi followed her father and third uncle. Su Er Gongzi, Qin Lang, Rong Yan, Jiang Xu, and the third branch's young illegitimate son walked along, searching for any small spiritual plants.
Find one, you can use it to comfort the kids.
Surprisingly, they also found a few small spiritual plants.
Young Master Su perked up, observing the plants on the ground as he quickened his pace to catch up with the others: "Hey, tell me, is this really the destiny of our Duke Su's mansion? Why is the destiny so biased?"
The Second Young Master Su is still holding a grudge; he's too biased.
Everyone searched in their own direction, but the spiritual plant field they found at the Duke of Su's mansion was too small, and they didn't even get a single extra plant. Qin Lang and the others, on the other hand, were pleasantly surprised and managed to find a few more plants.
Even if they weren't children, Young Master Su would still care a lot, okay?
Qin Tan and Qin Di laughed, unsure how to answer; they didn't know either.
Luck is mysterious and unpredictable; who knows whose luck it is?
Prince Su turned to look at Qin Tang and Qin Xun, but neither of them said a word. Qin Bi then spoke up: "I don't know. Anyway, it used the luck that Prince Su possessed, but luck is biased. Who knows why? Even if I told you the reason, you wouldn't believe me."
"Tell me your opinion," said the Second Young Master Su. "Let me hear if it makes sense."
Qin Bi glanced sideways: "Would you believe me if I said it's Qin He's fault?"
Second Young Master Su: "..."
Young Master Su smiled awkwardly; he didn't believe it.
Qin Bi and Qin He have a very bad relationship. Both of them are born out of wedlock, but they are no worse off than those born out of wedlock. The main reason is that as daughters born out of wedlock, their marriage prospects are higher. The second and fourth branches of the family have been very unhappy about their marriages and have not been able to ease their tensions to this day.
They weren't on Qin He's team in the small space of the demon beast realm, so it's unreasonable for them to blame Qin He for not being able to find the spiritual plants. What does the bias in luck have to do with Qin He?
The second and fourth branches of the Qin Yanhou family do not get along, and it is not appropriate for relatives to interfere.
Alright, shut up. We won't mention Young Master Su anymore.
Qin Bi smiled lightly, glanced at Qin Xun and Qin Tang, and said, "See? No one in the fourth branch of the family believes what they say about Qin He. To avoid getting involved, they simply avoid the topic."
Taking advantage of the break, Qin Tang and Qin Xun also mentioned Qin Bi's intentions to Prince Su.
"We're a team looking for something," Qin Xun said as he walked. "Don't tell my cousin's team."
Su Shizi was surprised, and Qin Tang explained, "The main reason is that we don't want to get involved with Qin He. Qin He is determined to be on our team, but our fourth branch has no such intention. It's better to collect things separately. Being with Qin He is not reassuring."
Qin Tang wasn't the type to be soft-hearted. He told Su Shizi directly that there was no need to cover for Qin He, lest Qin He's efforts to ease tensions make it seem like the Fourth Branch was being unreasonable.
Qin He is good at everything, so how could the fourth branch of the family be so bad?!
Prince Su nodded, indicating that he understood, and then left it to Qin Tang, a member of the Su family, to his discretion.
To put it bluntly, if Qin Tang blames Su Shizi because Qin He, a member of the Su family, came to visit, Su Shizi would have no grounds for complaint. Su Shizi understands this and will naturally keep his word.
Qin Bi sighed and whispered to Qin Tan and Qin Di from behind, "If only we could use the luck that the young master of the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion has, it would be so great. It's a pity that Qin He always teams up with her eldest cousin."
Good fortune is a wonderful thing! Who doesn't want good luck?!
Unfortunately, Qin He always insisted on being on the same team as Qin Yan.
Since Qin He and Prince Qin are in the same team, they don't need to use Prince Qin's luck.
Disliking Qin He, she had no choice but to separate from Prince Qin—a helpless decision.
Qin Di found it amusing and couldn't help but ask, "Is your luck really that good?"
Qin Bi hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't. She could sense that there were many good things in this land, and as far as the eye could see, they were all in this one piece of land, but she just couldn't touch them.
Qin Bi said, "Don't mention it."
Qin Tan looked at her with suspicion, and Qin Bi said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow. I think that as long as our team has the luck that Prince Su carries, we will find more than just this good stuff."
"It's nothing." Qin Tan said in surprise, then added, "I told Prince Su not to let him leave."
Before nightfall, Qin Tan's group and Su Shizi's group found a place to rest. At this time, several other groups of cultivators were already resting there, cleaning up the demonic beasts and preparing to roast meat.
Young Master Su went over and gave the group a few spiritual plants in exchange for a piece of monster meat.
This way they don't attract attention. If they spend lavishly, others will definitely guess that they have a good collection, and they might even follow them tomorrow. You know, even high-level cultivators have average luck in the small space of the low-level demon beast realm.
The young masters of the Su family prepared the monster meat, and the second young master of the Su family took out the seasonings.
Lin Yao called Rong Yan to gather firewood, and Qin Tan said, "Qin Lang, you go too, gather as much firewood as possible." (End of Chapter)
