Thinking that he had an invincible father and the vast and wonderful world outside, Qin Zi was full of expectations.

It’s great to have a strong dad!

"You two, please stay."

At this time, a polite voice sounded.

Qin Chuan turned around and saw a neatly dressed old man with several maids and servants.

"Butler Mu?"

Qin Chuan recognized the old man. He was the steward of the City Lord's Mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion is affiliated with the Jiuyang Imperial Family. Every city of a certain size has a City Lord's Mansion to assist the royal family in managing the territory.

Their greatest responsibility is to...

Collect taxes!!

Previously, Qin Chuan, as the patriarch of the Qin family, was a major taxpayer in Xunyang City and had some connections with the City Lord's Mansion.

"Master Qin, the city lord wants to see you."

Butler Mu said with a smile.

"I am no longer the head of the Qin family."

Qin Chuan shook his head and said.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a title. Except for you, no one in Xunyang City is qualified to be called the head of the Qin family."

Butler Mu is 70% horse and 30% sincere.

However, when it comes to contributions to the Qin family, the previous Qin Chuan was always among the best in the entire history of the Qin family's development.

During the years that Qin Chuan was in power, he worked tirelessly and expanded the Qin family's industry and influence by more than half.

This is also the reason why Qin Chuan is disappointed with the Qin family.

You eat my food, wear my clothes, spend the money I earn, yet you are so indifferent to me, what use do I have for you? !

"Does the city lord want us to help you?"

Qin Chuan asked.

"Haha, the city lord heard that the Qin family leader was leaving Xunyang City, and wanted to practice for the Qin family leader, so as to make good on our friendship over the years."

Butler Mu said with a smile.

When Qin Chuan heard this, memories of the city lord emerged in his mind.

The Lord of Xunyang City is named Mu Yuncang. With the cultivation level of Half-Step Pure Yang Realm, he is considered the strongest man in Xunyang City!

The previous head of the family, Qin Chuan, and the city lord had a friendship as pure as water.

"Since the Lord City Lord has such intention, then we father and son would be disrespectful to refuse it."

Qin Chuan calculated Mu Yuncang's strength, then smiled and bowed, indicating his agreement.

If the opponent is weaker than him, he would be too lazy to visit, but the opponent seems to be a little stronger than him.

This will work...

"Master Qin, please."

Butler Mu obviously didn't know what Qin Chuan was thinking, and he politely made a "please" gesture.

…

Soon, the group arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion is very grand.

But in general, there is not much difference between them and the Qin family. After all, the Qin family is a wealthy family in Xunyang City and is already luxurious enough.

"Brother Qin, long time no see."

The city lord Mu Yuncang personally led people out to greet him, with a smile on his face, giving Qin Chuan enough face.

"Brother Mu, you are too polite."

Qin Chuan smiled and returned the greeting.

"I heard that Brother Qin was leaving Xunyang City, so I specially prepared some wine to welcome Brother Qin."

Mu Yuncang said with a smile.

"Thank you very much."

Qin Chuan said again.

"Meet Uncle Qin."

At this time, a girl in a white dress who was about the same age as Qin Zi came forward and saluted gently.

"Is this Qianyun?"

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

"Haha, I have been staying at home all my life and rarely go out. It's rare that Brother Qin still remembers me."

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

"Brother Mu, thank you for your compliment."

Qin Chuan said modestly.

Mu Yuncang looked at the sun above his head and said, "Calculating the time, it's time for lunch. Let's go in and eat first."

After saying that, he pulled Qin Chuanwang inside, very enthusiastically.

The young girl, Mu Qianyun, secretly looked at Qin Zi, and seemed a little curious about this boy of the same age...

…

After a long time, lunch was over.

However, the city lord Mu Yuncang warmly invited Qin Chuan and his son to stay in the city lord's mansion for one night and leave tomorrow.

Qin Chuan naturally would not refuse.

Just what I wanted!!

He hasn't achieved his goal yet, how could he leave?

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

Qin Zi was practicing in the room.

And Qin Chuan was sitting in the living room.

He first glanced at the room meaningfully, giving a warning look to the possible "peeping Tom".

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

Then, start brewing tea.

This little pill was the treasure of the drugstore that he had "accidentally" found at a drugstore at a high price.

It is a chronic medicine.

Moreover, it takes an hour after drinking for the symptoms to start to appear, and once they do, they are as violent as a flood and cannot be controlled!

Before, he didn't know how to use this medicine specifically, but now he has found a use for it.

This is totally a trap for my son!

As long as his adopted son did something to Mu Qianyun, even if it failed, it would be enough for Mu Yuncang to hang him up and beat him!

In this way.

Can't he upgrade?

He had observed before and found that Mu Qianyun's cultivation was not weak. Even if his adopted son was serious about it, he would not be able to succeed in a short time.

In this way, it is still in time to stop it.

He was a man who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment. Even though someone had invited them to be his guest out of kindness, he couldn't really do anything to the other person's daughter...

"Well, just wait for the dinner."

Qin Chuan's mouth curled up slightly, and then he closed his eyes and began to rest.

Time passes slowly.

In the evening, Qin Zi finished his practice and walked out of the room, looking refreshed.

"You've been practicing for a long time, have some tea."

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

"Thank you, Dad."

Qin Zi took the wine glass, drank it in one gulp without any doubt, and then exclaimed: "This tea is a little sweet."

Qin Chuan smiled slightly.

He guessed it was probably a psychological effect. After all, the small pills he used to make tea were for kidney deficiency and did not contain sugar!

What really makes the cheap son feel sweet is fatherly love...

“Boom boom boom!”

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

Then a maid's respectful voice came: "Master Qin, Master Qin, dinner is ready, please follow me to eat."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Qin Chuan said politely.

"Ah... Master Qin is too polite..."

The maid outside the door suddenly made a strange sound, as if she was flattered, and as if she had removed the two middle words.

soon.

Led by the maid, the father and son came to the dinner venue, which was on a rooftop.

This is a building made of stone. It is also the highest place in the City Lord's Mansion, and even the highest place in Xunyang City.

Standing here, you can not only have a panoramic view of the entire Xunyang City, but you can even see the Xunyang River outside the city and the sunset in the sky.

"Hahaha, Brother Qin, you are here, please take a seat."

City Lord Mu Yuncang said enthusiastically.

After everyone was seated, he added, "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, and the table was quickly filled with a variety of delicacies.

Finally, a maid brought a wine jar, which was a mud-sealed pottery jar and looked very old.

“Snap!”

Mu Yuncang opened the jar, handed it to his daughter, and said, "Yun'er, pour the wine."

"Yes, father."

Mu Qianyun said obediently, then walked over to pour wine for Qin Chuan, then poured some for Qin Zi, and finally filled her father's glass. As for herself... of course she didn't drink.

As a lady from a wealthy family, drinking in front of outsiders is detrimental to my image.

"Brother Qin, let's start eating. Good wine goes well with good food. The food won't taste good if it gets cold.

Mu Yuncang said with a smile.

So the dinner began.

The dinner was very sumptuous, with all kinds of delicious food satisfying Qin Zi's appetite. Even when the dishes on the table were cold, the maids would replace them with hot ones.

Mu Qianyun, on the other hand, was very obedient and poured wine for several people, which made Qin Zi's impression of this beautiful and sensible girl of the same age increase greatly!

This meal took most of the hour.

Finally, we had enough food and drink.

"Brother Qin, are you satisfied with this dinner?" Mu Yuncang suddenly asked at this time.

"Very good, thank you Brother Mu for the hospitality."

Qin Chuan smiled and bowed.

"Well...Brother Qin, with your intelligence, you should have guessed it. I actually have something important to discuss with you today."

Mu Yuncang said.

Qin Chuan laughed secretly when he heard this.

Waiting for you this!!

Otherwise, how could my son be alone with your daughter? How could he commit such a heinous crime worse than that of an animal? !

"I know."

Qin Chuan nodded calmly, and then suggested: "How about letting Qianyun take Qin Zi around the City Lord's Mansion, and we can talk here."

"That's great!"

Mu Yuncang's eyes lit up, and then he smiled and said to his daughter, "Yun'er, take Master Qin for a walk in the garden."

"Yes, father."

Mu Qianyun said respectfully, then bowed slightly to Qin Chuan, and left with Qin Zi, whose face was also red, with a slightly blushing face.

The naive girl didn't know that this trip might risk someone's life!
