Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 158 Do you want to enjoy the happiness of having two wives? [Seeking monthly votes]

Old Master Qin was not surprised by his calm attitude. If he was a person who showed his emotions on his face, how could he become famous in Jinling at such a young age?

Frankly speaking, Mr. Qin recognized Lu Zhan's strength. He was able to kill powerful opponents above his level. Even Miss Chu, the jewel in the Qin family's crown, could not compare with him.

If he had not died young, and had continued to develop in this way, he would have been a good match. Although he had no family power, he also had no family worries, and would have devoted himself to helping the Chu and Qin families in the future.

But there are too many romantic scandals and his reputation is very bad.

"Come to think of it, she is my great-niece. Although we are not the direct descendants of the Qin family, we are also a branch of the Qin family."

Old Master Qin spoke slowly, as if he was chatting about family matters.

"I see."

Lu Zhan had heard about it from Zhuge Chen a long time ago, so he didn't find it strange at the moment. However, things became a little strange when Old Master Qin brought it up.

Because of the duel with Wei Zhao, rumors about him and Chu Wantang spread like wildfire, and even the Qin family was unable to stop the spread of these rumors.

Because of this, the Qin family began to be wary of this playboy with a bad reputation. Should they use money to slap him in the face and make him stay away from Xiao Chu?

Old Master Qin was still smiling, but his tone was a little cold: "My niece is a proud girl, a leader of the younger generation, but unfortunately she married the wrong person and ruined her life. Ting Lan is her only child, and the most talented child of this generation in the Qin family. The Qin family will not allow her to repeat the same mistake. What do you think, Doctor Lu?"

Lu Zhan's acupuncture movements paused slightly, but soon returned to normal.

Mr. Qin's words were already very clear.

Regardless of whether the rumors are true or false, as long as he wants to be with Chu Wantang, they must be together for the rest of their lives. If he acts recklessly like Chu Huaizheng did and disappoints the young lady's feelings, the Qin family will certainly not forgive him.

If you can't do this, stay away from Xiao Chu in the future.

Lu Zhan thought about it and suddenly smiled. He felt that although this matter was funny, it was understandable.

When Mr. Qin heard his laughter, he didn't react at all, just waited for his response.

Lu Zhan continued to give acupuncture with his head down, his tone calm: "Senior, you are worrying too much. Although I don't have much interaction with the young lady, I can see that she is determined and doesn't seem to be trapped by emotions."

Regardless of whether he has any thoughts about Xiao Chu or not, there is no need to talk about it with outsiders. Even if this person is Xiao Chu's elder, he is not his elder and they are not familiar with each other at all.

Since the other party asked the question in a Tai Chi-like manner, he naturally responded with Tai Chi.

"Mr. Qin said calmly: "Oh? Are you not familiar with Ting Lan?"

"What do you mean familiar or unfamiliar? A gentleman's friendship never goes beyond the rules. The eldest lady is kindhearted. Seeing that I have decent talent, she gave me a few martial arts manuals. I treated the eldest lady with courtesy and did not have any intentions because of her background." Lu Zhan smiled and said, "It's just that the rumors in Jinling are really outrageous. Even my sweetheart quarreled with me a few times because of it."

"Sweetheart?" Old Master Qin narrowed his eyes. "Is it the pure and innocent Fairy Yue, or the hot-tempered Fairy Jiang?"

As expected, he had specially inquired about it... Lu Zhan's smile remained unchanged: "Of course it is Ningshuang."

"It is said that Fairy Ningshuang is an outstanding disciple of Xiuyinfang. She is naturally very good." Old Master Qin exhaled slowly and said meaningfully: "As a man, every man wants to have the happiness of two women at the same time. This is not uncommon in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but my Qin family is not like that. The Qin family has come to this point after thousands of years of accumulation. If something like my niece happens again, then our Qin family will have lived in vain."

Lu Zhan still kept smiling.

After all, he is an old man who has lived for hundreds of years. He has also been young before. We are all men, and it is impossible not to see through his thoughts.

However, Lu Zhan did not admit it at this time, but just asked: "What if the young lady is willing?"

"If you want the Qin family to recognize you, you must be a person of unparalleled strength. If Ting Lan really insists on doing so, the Qin family will have no choice but to accept it." Old Master Qin did not say any hypocritical greetings, but said directly: "But if you are just daydreaming, then the Qin family will not allow it."

Lu Zhan smiled bitterly.

The larger the family, the more it will consider the family's interests. Otherwise, this branch would not still be worrying about the marriage of its direct children eight hundred years later.

Chu Wantang is naturally the apple of the Qin family's eye, but the apple of a big family's eye also has to get married. Her husband must be a supporter of the Qin family and it is impossible for him to be like Director Chu, who has no ability but is still a philanderer.

Although the Qin family cares about Chu Wantang, in the final analysis, this care is also mixed with many interests.

Even if it's a big family, who doesn't want to marry into a powerful person?

Lu Zhan did not continue the topic, but pulled out the silver needle and said, "Okay."

Everything that needs to be said has been said. We are all smart people. There is no need to say some things explicitly, otherwise everyone will be embarrassed.

Old Master Qin was also well aware of this. He did not continue to talk about this topic, but instead practiced his Qi and smiled gently: "Your acupuncture technique is indeed good. Now that my Qi has calmed down, the torment of being possessed is gone."

Lu Zhan reminded him, "Senior, your power is of the ice type, which is very powerful, but that burning power is of the fire type, which is also quite powerful. The two powers will always fight against each other, so it is better for you to not get angry."

“Yes, our Qin family has the blood of the Ice Phoenix, and most of the ways of cultivation are ice-based. If it was ordinary fire-based power, I would have refined it long ago. It’s a pity that this power comes from the Fire Phoenix.” Old Master Qin sighed, and a look of regret appeared in his eyes.

Lu Zhan was not surprised: "No wonder."

The Ice Phoenix and the Fire Phoenix were both originally from the Phoenix clan. Before they were reborn from the fire, there was no distinction between their clans.

But after being reborn from the ashes, the divine phoenixes will find the most suitable way of cultivation, so some phoenixes are reborn from the ashes as fire phoenixes, and some are reborn from the ashes as ice phoenixes.

Over time, the Phoenix clan split into these two clans. The two clans are incompatible with each other and will inevitably fight when they meet.

The Qin family carries the blood of the Ice Phoenix, which is extremely domineering. The only fire power that Grandpa Qin has never been able to refine is the Fire Phoenix.

Now, tens of thousands of years have passed since the ancient times, and most of the mythical beasts have met their doom. It is said that the last fire phoenix seen was in the East China Sea five hundred years ago. It is said that the divine fire that erupted when the fire phoenix fell burned up half of the East China Sea.

The fairy island hidden in the East China Sea was discovered by the world because of this.

Old Master Qin sighed and said, "Five hundred years ago, I passed by the East China Sea and accidentally entered an island. There, I saw a dying Fire Phoenix. Although the Phoenix Clan is a natural god, its life span also has an end. I saw that she was weak at the time, so I took the opportunity to suck her blood."

"The blood of the Phoenix Clan is extremely precious. If we can refine it, our bodies will undergo a qualitative transformation, and our cultivation speed will increase dramatically. Moreover, my Qin family has the blood of the Divine Phoenix. Although the blood is becoming increasingly rare, it can still be considered as having a connection with the Phoenix Clan. If we can blend the blood of the Fire Phoenix with that of the Ice Phoenix, the benefits will be unimaginable."

"Unfortunately, my talent is not good enough, and I underestimated the power of the Fire Phoenix. Even though she is about to die, her power is beyond our ability to withstand."

“When the blood essence entered my stomach, my whole body started to burn. If I hadn’t forced the blood essence out in time, I would have been burned to death by the Fire Phoenix blood. But even so, the true Qi in my body was still burned by the fire energy.”

"From then on, the power of my body was half fire and half water, and it was difficult to make any progress."

"The fire phoenix lost its blood and quickly died. Its body turned into flames and burned the island to ashes. Even half of the East China Sea was burned dry."

Lu Zhan’s brows jumped violently.

The Fire Phoenix that was rumored to have burned half of the East China Sea dry actually had a connection with the old man of the Qin family. When the divine beast and the great man respond to the calamity, strange phenomena will appear in heaven and earth. The Fire Phoenix's divine fire is truly powerful.

"I see..." After a slight sigh, Lu Zhan took out a porcelain bottle and said, "This is the Qingqi Pill I made. You can take two pills if you have nothing else to do."

Although this kind of pill is very common, its effect is very good... just like the common Xiaoyao Pills, anyone who has taken it knows it.

The Qin family may not be short of it, but he is a doctor, and he always has to prescribe some medicine every time he comes.

Old Master Qin smiled and said, "Thank you very much. I didn't expect you could make pills."

"Just practicing when I have nothing to do." Lu Zhan smiled back.

When the butler saw Lu Zhan off, he gave him a generous reward.

Lu Zhan didn't hesitate and stuffed the money directly into the spirit ring. However, he didn't care about how much money it was. His mind was full of what Old Man Qin said.

This verbal attack was very much in the style of an aristocratic family. It was neither too light nor too heavy, and the tone was very well controlled.

...

A gentle breeze blew, and peace returned to the house.

Not long after Lu Zhan left, Old Master Qin spread out paper and ink, picked up the pen and wrote a line of words: "I have seen it. He is gifted, has a great appearance, is polite and easy-going, but has a very bad reputation."

After finishing writing this line, he waved his hand again, and the letter automatically turned into a paper crane and disappeared into the sky in an instant.

The butler turned back and said respectfully, "Master, he has left."

"Yeah." Old Master Qin lay in the rocking chair, squinting his eyes at the sun hanging in the sky, and sighed deeply: "Qin An, how many years do you think I can still watch the sun like this?"

The butler looked a little sad and remained silent.

Old Master Qin suddenly laughed again: "That boy just now was quite interesting. He kept saying that he had nothing to do with Ting Lan. But our girl has a strange personality. If she really had no relationship with him, she wouldn't have spread rumors about him."

The housekeeper thought for a moment and said, "Miss Ting Lan has been in Bianjing for many years, and she is always as pure as the bright moon."

"Yes..." Old Master Qin picked up another piece of thorny moss and peeled it carefully, saying, "As soon as he returned to Jinling, he was entangled in romantic affairs. Is it Jinling's problem or the problem of people?"

The butler remained silent, for he knew the old man had more to say.

After peeling and eating the thorn moss, the old man narrowed his eyes and said, "Young people are like thorn moss. They always have thorns on the outside, but whether they will eventually grow into towering trees or become thorn moss that can be eaten by anyone depends on fate."

"That's right, old man." The housekeeper nodded. "Whether it's a fairy sect or a noble family, whether it can prosper in the future depends on whether the younger generation is excellent. If he is really lucky, he may be lucky enough to contribute to the Qin family in the future."

Old Master Qin smiled. Lu Zhan's face appeared in his mind. Although he appeared polite from beginning to end, he was not someone who could be manipulated by others at heart.

He let out a long sigh: "Young people have their own paths, I am old..."
