Su Yuluo was the youngest of the sisters and was in her third year of high school, preparing for the college entrance examinations.
Qin Yexuan patted her head. "Have you finished your homework? Aren't you about to have a mock exam? Your sister said it's a very important diagnostic test. Are you confident?"
Su Yuluo pouted. "But I don't want to study, and I don't want to take exams."
Qin Yexuan was surprised. "Why not? Aren't you doing well in your studies?"
Su Yuluo tilted her head, her innocence mixed with a mischievous glint. "Brother-in-law, you're so rich, and I'll soon be a little rich woman myself. Why should I still struggle so hard?"
She regretted it as soon as she said it.
Parents always wanted their children to study hard. Even wealthy families placed great importance on education.
Was she being too willful? What if her brother-in-law got angry?
Unexpectedly, Qin Yexuan nodded. "That's true. I can hire some private tutors for you, teach you some useful knowledge. There's no need to strive so hard through exams."
Su Yuluo was stunned and waved her hands repeatedly. "Brother-in-law, I was just joking. I can't drop out of school, or my sisters will kill me."
Qin Yexuan burst into laughter. "It's good that you have that intention. Then, brother-in-law will take you out to have some fun."
Su Yuluo happily spun in place. She had been watched very closely by her sisters lately.
"Brother-in-law, where are we going?"
"There's a Tang family from Tianfu who wants to meet me. They're not good people, and this meeting might turn into a fight," Qin Yexuan explained briefly.
Su Yuluo grinned. "Only you, brother-in-law, have the guts to take your sister-in-law to a banquet of horns."
Qin Yexuan said lightly, "With me around, no one in this world can harm you. There's no need to worry about anything. They're just a bunch of weak fools who pretend to be big shots."
Su Yuluo casually pulled out a small knife. "Brother-in-law, see, I brought a weapon too. We're not afraid if there are bad guys."
Qin Yexuan stopped abruptly.
Wasn't this the same... hidden weapon from the Yanlong tribe that was hidden in the shroud?
"Xiao Yu, where did you get this from?"
"Ah, I saw it when I was opening the window, stuck in the crack."
It seemed there were more than three, making it four hidden weapons.
One of the flying knives had bounced upstairs and was picked up by Su Yuluo as a toy.
But!
The feather-shaped small knife still gleamed with a silver light. Ordinary people would be injured, even fatally, if they touched this kind of yang fire.
Why was Su Yuluo holding it so casually?
This child, was she exceptionally talented?
Qin Yexuan suddenly thought of the important information he had received in Hong Kong.
Among the Su sisters, there was a girl with a peculiar background, whom Su Qing had specifically protected.
Could it be Su Yuluo?
Qin Yexuan unobtrusively took back her small knife and then pressed it onto the Yongtian acupoint on her back.
Instantly, a strange force rebounded.
It could actually resist his aura!
Qin Yexuan pondered for a moment. "Yuluo, you're 17 this year, right?"
Su Yuluo's big eyes rolled. "I'll be 18 after the exams. I'm an adult now!"
As she spoke, she puffed out her chest, and indeed, she looked different from before.
She was no longer a child.
Qin Yexuan, however, thought of something else.
In his almost immortal years, he had indeed heard of a unique bloodline inheritance that would only awaken at a certain age.
He hadn't paid much attention before. Perhaps Su Yuluo had reached the age, and that's why she exhibited an unusual physique.
"When we get back, find some time, and I'll take you for a medical check-up." Qin Yexuan didn't say much and took Su Yuluo to the Tianxia Hotel.
The Tianxia Hotel was an old establishment and one of the famous hotels in Jiangcheng.
Moreover, it was a Sichuan restaurant. Dozens of cars were parked behind the hotel.
A "Closed for Business" sign was also hung on the door.
The Tang family from Tianfu had sent quite a few people this time.
This Tianxia Hotel was one of their bases.
Qin Yexuan walked forward and said to the people at the entrance, "My surname is Qin. I heard your Tang family was looking for me?"
There were four people at the entrance, all wearing black cross-collared shirts and decorative hats, a unique attire.
And on their belts, they each wore a string of silver ornaments in the shapes of spiders, centipedes, and so on.
Su Yuluo looked a little scared.
Qin Yexuan repeated himself. Only then did the four people move aside, their eyes filled with hostility.
Qin Yexuan led Yu Luo into the hall.
Opposite them, an old woman leaning on a silver snake-shaped cane sat on a lounge chair, with a crowd of people behind her, men and women, young and old.
They stared coldly at Qin Yexuan.
Qin Yexuan leisurely pulled over a chair and let Yu Luo sit down. He leaned against the table and casually picked up a cup. "Hmm, is this how the Tang family of Tianfu receives guests? You don't even have a cup of tea?"
Presumptuous!
A hoarse voice came, and a red-haired woman jumped out from behind the old woman, with a seductive yet sinister aura.
The woman sneered on the spot. "I've never seen such a shameless person like you. Our old madam hasn't spoken yet, and you're already being so rude."
Qin Yexuan put down the teacup and said calmly, "Your Tang family called, and I came immediately. I'm giving this face to Tang Donglai, not to you. I regret his death!"
His words were clear. Qin Yexuan hadn't come because he feared the Tang family, but merely out of respect for the deceased Tang Donglai.
The red-haired woman became furious. "Shut up! You stupid idiot, do you know who you've offended? Uncle Donglai died because of you! You scoundrel, you've dragged my Tang family down!"
Her voice was extremely sharp. Yu Luo, sitting in the chair, got angry. "Sister, why are you swearing as soon as you open your mouth? Aren't you from a prominent family? Why are you so ill-mannered?"
The red-haired woman glanced at Su Yuluo and immediately cursed, "What kind of stinking brat are you? Are people who sell themselves nowadays so shameless?"
Qin Yexuan's eyes changed. "Kneel down immediately and apologize to my sister!"
