Chapter 618 Qin Leilei Arrives at the Shadow Gate
Where?
"Level of mind," Shen Li said calmly. "True masters are those who win without using any moves."
He shook his head: "Like you, young, too pragmatic."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Hou Kai: "?"
"Me, opportunistic?" He looked at the remaining three people with disbelief.
"Uh... not really, but the boss definitely has his own ideas, so don't worry about it!" Old Qi patted his shoulder and left.
Ayan winked at him: "I second that."
Han Xu: "Mm."
After they finished speaking, they left, leaving Hou Kai standing there questioning his life: "So I'm the only one who's worrying about things that don't concern me? But those things between men and women, don't they all rely on tricks? Who still pretends to be a devoted lover these days? Aren't they just waiting for their good girls to be snatched away by their rivals?"
Hou Kai's shouts went unnoticed, because the Shadow Gate had welcomed a "giant Buddha" that afternoon, and everyone's attention was drawn to this "giant Buddha" that had fallen from the sky.
"Hey, have you heard? The Qin family has come to our gate!"
"who?"
"The eldest brother's younger brother, Qin Leilei."
"Younger brother? The eldest brother has a younger brother? Is he a biological younger brother?" a newly initiated disciple asked curiously.
"Half-brothers, shh, let's keep our voices down. I heard the eldest brother and his younger brother don't get along. If he hears us whispering, he'll definitely kill us."
These discussions began the moment Qin Leilei stepped into the Shadow Gate.
In the study, Qin Feng rubbed his temples, looked at Qin Leilei sitting in the back of the chair opposite him, and sighed, "I've made myself very clear, it's impossible for me to go back with you."
Qin Leilei acted as if she had expected you to say this: "I didn't come here to ask you to come back with me to fight. It's because Dad's condition has suddenly worsened. The doctor said he only has a few days left. He wants to see you. Are you sure you don't want to go back?"
Qin Feng glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "The Qin family's affairs have nothing to do with me."
Qin Leilei was silent for a moment, then sneered: "That's not up to you. If I can't do what Dad asked me to do, how can I face him again, how can I compete for the position of head of the family?"
"That's your business." The implication was that it was still none of his concern.
Qin Leilei crossed his arms and said mockingly, "I admit that Shadow Gate is your territory. No one can take you back if you don't want to. But I'm here with the intention of getting it. If you don't come with me, then I won't leave."
Qin Feng frowned, giving him a look that said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Seeing that his expression finally changed, Qin Leilei felt a little relieved.
He chuckled and stood up: "What's wrong? With such a big room, you can't be so stingy that you can't even afford a bedroom? Even if you really don't have a room, I can sleep in your study. I see that your room is quite warm, so I guess I can sleep on the floor without getting cold?"
Qin Feng stood up and looked at him coldly: "Are you serious?"
"Super serious!" Qin Leilei suddenly leaned over, staring at him closely, her tone natural, yet with an air of absolute authority.
Qin Feng naturally knew that his younger brother had always been stubborn, so he nodded and said, "Whatever you want."
After saying that, he got up and left.
Qin Leilei stared at his retreating figure, her eyes darkening. After a moment, she turned around and kicked the stool over with a loud bang.
...
Once he said he would stay, Qin Leilei actually did.
After all, he is Qin Feng's younger brother. Although the sect leader did not express any opinion, the people below could not afford to neglect him.
That evening, Manager Xu prepared a guest room.
The room wasn't luxurious, but it wasn't exactly shabby either. Most importantly, it was in a good location, quite remote, a long way from Qin Feng's house.
Qin Leilei stayed for two days and realized that he hadn't seen Qin Feng's face again. He knew that this was not a solution.
Qin Feng has plenty of time, but he doesn't have that much time left.
His father, Qin Cheng, was getting weaker day by day. If this couldn't persuade him to return to the Qin family, then his desire to fight him would be even more impossible.
He must defeat him in front of all the elders and inherit the position of family head in a fair and square manner.
With these thoughts in mind, Qin Leilei began to wander around the Shadow Gate.
He wanted to see if this person truly had no heart.
He refused to believe that his weakness couldn't be discovered.
In the evening, as usual, he strolled into the kitchen and saw the head steward carrying dishes out of the kitchen. He casually walked over and said, "Who has such a big face that they have to trouble the head steward to personally serve the dishes?"
Manager Xu had already been informed by the door, and adhering to the principle of not offending anyone, he smiled and replied, "A female guest of the Shadow Gate didn't have dinner, so I made a midnight snack and sent it to her room."
"A female guest? That girl?" Qin Leilei had been here for two days and had seen Zhou Qiao once before from afar.
"Um."
The girl's name was Zhou Qiao; Qin Leilei had heard of her.
She is Zhou Sihai's granddaughter, and Zhou Sihai entrusted her to Qin Feng before he passed away.
He had initially thought that his older brother was only being kind to the girl because of his good relationship with Zhou Sihai, but considering his observations and investigations over the past two days, as well as the current situation, it seemed that Qin Feng's care for the girl was not just due to that relationship.
“Oh,” Qin Leilei nodded, giving the dishes a meaningful look—
There were stir-fried meatballs with vinegar, spicy chicken, braised fish, steamed shrimp, and a bowl of sweet fermented rice with rose petals and two pieces of osmanthus cake on the side. He clicked his tongue and said, "This late-night snack seems to be more lavish than our dinner."
Steward Xu waved his hand and said, "Not at all, Young Master Qin is joking. It's just ordinary food, similar to what we eat."
Qin Leilei chuckled, feigning a mocking expression, and tentatively asked, "Steward Xu, tell me the truth, your sect leader has a special feeling for this Zhou Qiao, doesn't he?"
When dealing with Qin Leilei, Steward Xu knew exactly what to say and what not to say. Upon hearing this, he immediately chuckled and said, "We servants dare not presume to guess our master's intentions. If Young Master Qin has nothing else to say, please go out first. My dishes are getting cold."
After finishing his sentence, Manager Xu ignored Qin Leilei and turned around to arrange the dishes.
The more evasive Steward Xu was, the more confident Qin Leilei became. After all, they had lived together since childhood, and he understood Qin Feng's personality to some extent.
It's impossible for a cold person to suddenly change their personality and become warm. He was certain that Qin Feng liked Zhou Qiao.
It's truly a miracle that the ancient iron tree has blossomed!
It seems this is his weakness.
Qin Leilei stared at Steward Xu's back, his eyes darkening. While Steward Xu was setting the dishes down, Qin Leilei grabbed a handful of sand from the ground and threw it into the spicy chicken.
If the spicy chicken turns into sandy chicken, can the other person still feel Qin Feng's feelings? Obviously not.
He's probably going to hate his good brother to death.
As long as he doesn't go back to the Qin family with him, he can forget about winning back the woman he loves.
Let's see who can outlast whom.
Qin Leilei greeted Manager Xu and left the kitchen, satisfied.
