Chapter 15: Demon cultivators

"I can't say his name and identity. Second brother said it, absolutely can't be revealed, including you. He also said that the opportunity for our Chen family to rise is coming." Chen Miaoyin shook her head, her face full of curiosity as she spoke.

She only understood most of the conversation between Chen Shuli and Qin Jun. One, Qin Jun's identity is very special and must not be disclosed to outsiders. Two, Qin Jun has a powerful subordinate who surpasses the Golden Core stage.

Just the second point is enough to make the Chen family want to curry favor with Qin Jun!

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhanjian's brows furrowed, and he fell silent, lost in thought. The atmosphere in the hall began to become oppressive.

Chen Miaoyin did not like this atmosphere at all. She quickly said, "I'm going back to rest!"

Today's plan to leave home has been ruined. Damn city guards, they actually want to collect an exit fee!

Chen Zhanjian paid no attention to his willful daughter. He muttered to himself, "Shuli is prudent in his actions, he must have a reason for saying so."

Because Chen Shuli is a illegitimate child, he was ostracized by his legitimate wife, and his lack of talent in Qi cultivation meant that even as the city lord, he dared not treat Chen Shuli well. He could only satisfy all of Chen Shuli's reading needs in private.

The news from the capital was also opened by him for Chen Shuli. Every major event in the capital that occurred each month would be recorded on paper and sent to each city lord by carrier pigeon. Of course, as long as one had the status, they could also subscribe to it. The fact that he could pass on the news to Chen Shuli showed how much hope he had for his illegitimate child.

In the Qianyue Kingdom, there is more than one way to cultivate Qi.

"Never mind, let him go." Chen Zhanjian sighed. From childhood to adulthood, Shuli was more mature than his peers. Of his two sons, he preferred Chen Shuli, but unfortunately, his status and lack of talent in Qi cultivation were there.

"Cheng family..." Chen Zhanjian's eyes turned cold, and the tea table beside him trembled incessantly.

...

As the sun rose in the sky, Qin Jun was gently awakened by the sunlight outside the window, feeling a gradual awakening of consciousness.

After crossing over, he felt as if he had traveled to a different world every time he woke up, because in his dreams, he still lived in the bustling metropolis of Earth.

"Hound, it's time to wake up."

Qin Jun got up and went to the basin by the bed, picking up a face towel while speaking to the Hound lying on the ground.

The Hound opened one eye and glanced at Qin Jun, with a somewhat disdainful attitude, as if saying that it was awake earlier than him.

After washing up, Qin Jun took the Hound to the room next to him where Daji and Chang Qianqian were.

"Daji, it's time to get up!"

"I know."

In response to Qin Jun's call, Daji lazily replied, her tone full of charm, making Qin Jun feel itchy.

As for Chang Hao, Qin Jun couldn't be bothered to call him. It would be best to leave him here!

Shaking his head, Qin Jun dismissed the distractions in his mind and then walked down the corridor.

Just as he reached the stairs, a white-clad handsome youth with a feather fan walked down from the third floor. His fair skin and delicate features were even more beautiful than Qin Jun's, and even a bit effeminate, at least that's what Qin Jun thought.

The gaze of the white-clad youth collided with Qin Jun's, and he politely nodded before walking downstairs.

"Why didn't I see him yesterday?"

Qin Jun wondered. Such an outstanding youth would be hard to forget with just one glance. Did he not come downstairs last night?

"He has demonic energy!"

The Hound's voice suddenly entered Qin Jun's ears, a kind of sound transmission technique that others couldn't hear.

"Demonic energy?" Qin Jun's face changed suddenly.

The cultivation of Qi and immortality has been passed down for ages, and human cultivators have gradually evolved into the righteous and demonic paths. The righteous path emphasizes gradual progress, while the demonic path seeks quick gains, leading to a transformation of character and cruel methods to achieve their goals.

When the righteous and demonic paths meet, it's a fight to the death.

And the Qianyue Kingdom belongs to the righteous camp, so it's rare to see the presence of demonic cultivators.

If this white-clad youth is a demonic cultivator, his presence in the Qianyue Kingdom is definitely not a good thing.

"It seems that his cultivation is not low, I can't even see through him." Qin Jun was secretly surprised. By now, he had already broken through to the fourth level of the Foundation Building stage. Under Daji's guidance, he could be considered a true expert in the Foundation Building stage, but he still couldn't see through the white-clad youth just now.

Fortunately, the Hound is a transcendent being in the Illusionary stage, and it saw through the abnormality of the other party at a glance.

With that in mind, Qin Jun took the Hound to the first floor. Surprisingly, the white-clad youth did not leave, but sat in a corner waiting for the waiter to serve the food.

Qin Jun only glanced at him and then withdrew his gaze, finding an empty table to sit at and instructing the waiter on what dishes to bring before sitting quietly and waiting.

Not long after, Daji and Chang Qianqian came down, followed by Chang Hao, who had heavy dark circles under his eyes. It's not clear what he was doing last night.

"After breakfast, are we going to hit the road?" Chang Qianqian asked as she yawned and sat down next to Qin Jun.

"Yeah." Qin Jun nodded lightly. He could feel the gaze of the white-clad youth directed at Daji.

Daji didn't mind, because all the men on the first floor had their eyes on her, and she was used to it.

Sometimes, being too beautiful is also a burden.

"What a beautiful woman!"

The white-clad youth murmured as he looked at Daji, his eyes full of amazement, which quickly turned into greed.

He wanted to have this incredibly beautiful woman!

Just then, a commotion came from outside the inn, and soon Cheng Jie walked in with a group of servants, his gaze locking onto Qin Jun.

"You little brat, luckily you didn't leave!"

Cheng Jie sneered and said that because of Qin Jun, he failed to complete the task assigned by his father last night, so he came to make trouble for Qin Jun early in the morning.

The Cheng family's power in Qingtan City is among the best, so it was easy for them to find out where Qin Jun lived.

"Ah, someone is here to bring bad luck early in the morning!"

Qin Jun sighed. Chang Qianqian, Chang Hao, and Daji looked at Cheng Jie with confusion as he approached them.

"Oh, there are two beautiful women. From now on, they belong to me!"

Cheng Jie's eyes lit up when he saw Daji and Chang Qianqian, especially Daji, which made his heart beat faster and his mind wander.

"Ignorant fool." Daji glanced at Cheng Jie and then giggled, her tone easily capable of leading men astray, but her words left Cheng Jie secretly annoyed.

Chang Qianqian coldly snorted, showing her disdain. In Xuanling Sect, there were plenty of geniuses stronger than Cheng Jie. If the core disciples of Xuanling Sect arrived, even the lord of Qingtan City would have to personally welcome them.

Not knowing their identities, Cheng Jie laughed with his hands on his hips and said, "Ignorant fool? In Qingtan City, who dares to make me die?"

Qin Jun was speechless. Did this guy know that he was not a member of the Forbidden Guard, so he dared to be so bold?

"Get lost! Be careful not to get yourself killed!" Chang Hao slammed the table and stood up, scaring Qin Jun, who almost shook the chopsticks out of his hand. Damn, this guy was definitely venting his pent-up grievances!

When he heard that someone wanted to take his junior sister as his own, Chang Hao immediately got angry. If the other party was stronger than him, he could accept it, but the other party only had the strength of the fourth level of Qi Refining Realm. How could he bear it?
