Chapter 212 Entering the Ancestral Hall
Feng Tianning looked at Qin Guan with some confusion, asking him what was going on with his eyes.
But Qin Guan just gave her a reassuring look and said nothing more.
Feng Tianning felt that his social phobia was about to come back, and he subconsciously got out of the car with a cold face.
"Grandma!"
When the head of the Qin family saw Feng Tianning, his eyes lit up instantly. He threw away the crutch in his hand and was about to rush over. It was Qin Zhou who was beside him who pulled him back and stopped him.
"Be careful of the impact. Later, grandma will think that all of us in the Qin family are such unstable people." Qin Zhou whispered in the ear of the head of the Qin family.
"Yes, yes, I was reckless and almost offended my grandmother."
The head of the Qin family, who was a powerful figure outside, was now like a primary school student who had made a mistake. He placed his hands in front of him obediently and stared at Feng Tianning who was gradually approaching.
"Qin Suocheng." Feng Tianning glanced at the head of the Qin family and said coldly.
Qin Suocheng was stunned for a moment, then immediately started laughing, and even his eyes were almost invisible from laughing.
"That's right, grandma actually knows my name."
"I am the current head of the Qin family - Qin Suocheng."
Feng Tianning nodded, his eyes swept over the faces of the Qin family members standing there, and then he said lightly:
"Don't be shy, go in and talk."
When Qin Suocheng heard this, he hurriedly called everyone inside, and the Qin family surrounded Feng Tianning in three layers.
Outside the Qin family ancestral hall was a courtyard. Feng Tianning frowned. For some reason, she always felt that this place was somewhat familiar, like her former residence in the thirty-third heaven.
She vaguely remembered that there was such a courtyard inside.
The further she walked in, the stronger the smell of incense became, and her body seemed to become much more comfortable, as if the incense was offered to her.
Qin Suocheng smiled and invited Feng Tianning in, then extended his hand towards the top seat and said:
"Grandma, please take a seat."
Feng Tianning was stunned for a moment, but seeing that Qin Guan was looking at him expectantly, he sat down without hesitation.
After all, she is the Mother of the Earth. Not to mention the main seat, even if she sits on the head of the statue enshrined in the center of the ancestral hall, no one would dare to say a word against it.
Seeing that everyone was seated, Feng Tianning slowly spoke:
"Who are you?"
"Why do you say I'm your Qin family's great-grandmother?"
Qin Suocheng, who had just sat down, stood up again and said respectfully when he heard this:
"Our Qin family has a family motto that no one can disobey Grandma, and all Grandma's orders must be obeyed."
"If you have any other intentions, you are not a member of our Qin family."
Qin Suocheng placed a brown bead hidden in his arms in front of Feng Tianning:
"Hundreds of years ago, my great-grandmother encountered my Qin family's ancestor while traveling in the mortal world. She rescued him from the hands of thieves and taught him the method of cultivation."
"Without my great-grandmother, my Qin family would not exist."
Feng Tianning stared at the beads on the table with some confusion. This was indeed her magic weapon, the Earth Spirit Bead, one of the Five Spirit Beads. However, there were too many magic weapons of this type, and Feng Tianning had saved too many people in the past, so she couldn't remember which one it was.
Seeing Feng Tianning frown, Qin Suocheng smiled and said:
"It's because our Qin family is too weak that we failed to make our grandmother remember us."
"It doesn't matter. The Qin family is no longer what it used to be. If you need anything, just let me know. We will do it, no matter if it means climbing a mountain of swords or descending a sea of fire!"
Looking at Qin Suocheng's excited expression, it seemed as if he wanted to pack up the Qin family and give it to Feng Tianning.
She pondered for a moment and said:
"How did you confirm my identity?"
"If I am a swindler, wouldn't you have ruined the Qin family in vain?"
Qin Suocheng smiled mysteriously and took out a portrait from the secret compartment behind the ancestral hall.
It was drawn with a brush, and the person in it was 70% similar to Feng Tianning.
"This is the image of you that our ancestor drew from memory. No one in our Qin family dares to forget it. We only hope that one day we can welcome you back to the Qin family."
Feng Tianning raised his eyebrows and said:
"Relying solely on a vague portrait? Isn't that a bit hasty?"
Qin Suocheng shook his head and said seriously:
"We may look similar, but your skills are undeniable."
Feng Tianning glanced at Qin Suocheng in confusion and motioned him to continue.
"I've heard from Xiaoguan that you can identify the variety and value of jadeite with just your eyes. To be honest, our Qin family has many cultivators, but we also have an even greater abundance of jadeite. When our ancestors were taught by you, they not only learned how to cultivate, but also your jade identification techniques."
"We've searched all over the world over the years, but we haven't found anyone who can identify jade as easily as you do."
Feng Tianning frowned and retorted:
"What if I'm a genius treasure appraiser who suddenly appears out of nowhere?"
Qin Suocheng laughed and said:
"We also had our suspicions, so we did some research."
"You have no father or mother. It's like you suddenly appeared in this world. No matter how much power we mobilize, we can't find any information about you."
"Furthermore, in just a few months since you joined the Special Case Team, you've already solved many major cases that ordinary people wouldn't dare to imagine. You were able to easily subdue evil spirits that had cultivated for hundreds of years, and even escaped unscathed from Sakura Country."
"What if I have other forces supporting me?"
"You should know that the Feng family and I have a close relationship."
Qin Suocheng hesitated for a moment, and finally took out a stone from his arms:
"What finally confirmed it was this Nuwa Stone."
Feng Tianning's eyes flashed and his gaze fell on Qin Guan.
She remembered that she had left this stone for Pei Duyan and Fu Ruxuan to use for self-defense in the Fangcun Realm, but she fainted as soon as she left there and never found a chance to get it back.
"You got it from Pei Duyan."
Although it was a question, Feng Tianning's tone was affirmative.
Qin Guan touched his nose with a guilty conscience:
"Grandma, Pei Duyan asked me to give it to you, but you were unconscious during that time, so I could only take it back to the Qin family for the time being."
"I didn't expect it to become the most important thing to confirm your identity."
After Qin Guan finished speaking, Qin Sucheng immediately spoke:
"My great-grandmother gave my ancestors a piece of Nuwa stone, which we enshrined in the innermost part of the ancestral hall."
"If you want to see it, you can come with me, but the rest of you don't need to come in."
Feng Tianning hesitated for a moment, but still followed Qin Suocheng and walked with him into the dark room of the ancestral hall.
He was walking in front. Feng Tianning looked at Qin Suocheng's back and suddenly said:
"Is this little favor enough for your Qin family to pledge allegiance?"
