Chapter 1: Celebration Gifts
"Go back, go back to the Imperial Gate?"
"Three years ago, because Qin Yu was a martial arts genius, he was made his heir. Then, because of his dissatisfaction, he expelled me from the emperor's gate. Do you want to call me back and tease me now?"
Qin Duan held a box and looked at the woman in front of him with indifferent eyes.
"Third Young Master, it's been three years, your anger should be gone, come back with me!
"The door master is nowhere to be found now, the little young master is trapped in the forbidden land and lives and does not know, now only you can hold the Great Seal of the Emperor Gate!"
The woman persuaded bitterly.
"It's been three years, I've been in the Liu family, and I've been humiliated, when will the emperor remember me. Now that there is no one in the Emperor's Gate, he thinks of me and thinks of me as something, a dog?"
"I just want to be a door-to-door son-in-law quietly, what emperor is not emperor, it has nothing to do with me!"
Qin Duan turned around and left directly, not giving the woman a chance to say more than half a word.
Walking on the road, Qin Duan sneered in his heart. His father **** doesn't do business, and his half-brother Qin Yu, although he is extremely talented, is too ambitious, and his strength and brains are not enough to support his ambitions. Today's scene was already expected by him!
The Emperor Gate has been glorious for millions of years, maybe it will be ruined in this world!
However, this has nothing to do with him, he is not the young master of the Emperor Sect now, but the son-in-law of the Liu family, a waste son-in-law who can't cultivate.
The Liu family, one of the four major families in Qingfeng City, makes a living from business. Three years ago, when Qin was homeless and living on the streets, he was the head of the Liu family, and he tried his best to recruit him.
At that time, it caused a sensation in the entire Qingfeng City, and everyone knew that the daughter of the Liu family was married to a waste who could not cultivate.
Then, as the only old master of the Liu family, who knew the details of Qin Du, suddenly died in battle, Qin Duan's waste identity was also confirmed. also made Qin Duan, in the Liu family, suffer three years of ridicule and white eyes. It's just that, compared to the abandonment of the emperor, the white eyes of the Liu family are nothing.
Today is the celebration of the Liu family, celebrating the success of the head of the Liu family to break through the generals and become the fifth strong military general in Qingfeng City.
Qin Duan had just gone to pick out a congratulatory gift, and his luck was not bad, so he missed a good thing.
Back at Liu's house, at the gate of the luxurious and magnificent mansion, a woman who was as beautiful as a fairy stood there, looking cold and unapproachable.
Seeing this woman, the corners of Qin Duan's mouth rose slightly, this is his wife Liu Xiaomeng. The famous genius girl of the Liu family was in the prime of her cardamom years, and was married to him by the old lady.
"Xiaomeng, I've kept you waiting!" Qin Duan stepped forward and said with a smile on his face.
"Are the congratulatory gifts ready?" Liu Xiaomeng asked in a somewhat cold tone.
Qin Duan came up to Liu Xiaomeng and said with a smile: "Ready!"
Liu Xiaomeng took a step back and distanced himself from Qin Duan, and he had no closeness between husband and wife at all, but a look of disgust. She didn't understand why Grandpa Tai married her to Qin Duan in the first place.
She is a genius of the Liu family, and she broke through the samurai at a young age and became a martial artist. And Qin Duan is just a waste that is difficult to cultivate, how can he be worthy of her.
Although Grandpa Tai always said that Qin Quan was a hidden dragon, but for more than three years, she didn't see it at all. If it weren't for Grandpa Tai's last wish, she would have divorced Qin Duan a long time ago.
"Don't get me in trouble for a while!"
Liu Xiaomeng glanced at Qin Duan lightly and said in a commanding tone. This attitude and tone are not the first time at first glance!
"No problem!"
Qin Duan nodded and replied softly, he had long been accustomed to Liu Xiaomeng's attitude, and he was not dissatisfied.
He knew very well how much pressure he brought to Liu Xiaomeng by marrying Liu Xiaomeng as a waste who could not cultivate. How many white eyes did Liu Xiaomeng endure, all because of him, what qualifications did he have to be dissatisfied.
Without saying anything, the two walked into the Liu family's mansion, which was very lively on this day, and all the children of the Liu family gathered on this day to congratulate the head of the family.
Liu Xiaomeng is cold by nature and is not easy to deal with people, coupled with his father, he has been ostracized by the Liu family, so no one has talked to him all the way. As for Qin Duan, maybe no one would take care of him, a son-in-law who couldn't cultivate!
The two of them came a little late, and when they entered the lobby, the banquet had already begun.
Everyone was congratulating the old man, but their arrival did not attract much attention. The two of them did not say anything, and quietly lined up behind the line of gifts, ready to follow along to congratulate them.
"Qin Duan, this waste, who let you in!"
A discordant voice suddenly came to Qin Duan's ears. Only then did Qin Duan notice that the person in front of them was Liu Xiaomeng's cousin Liu Xiaoyue.
This person has good talent and excellent appearance, although he is not as good as Liu Xiaomeng, he is also a beauty. It's just that his personality is a lot worse, he always likes to find trouble with Qin Duan, and every time he sees him, he will inevitably make it difficult and humiliate him.
"I'm here to congratulate Grandpa!"
Qin Duan said lightly, he was not angry because of Liu Xiaoyue's ridicule, he seemed to have been used to it for a long time.
"Congratulations, grandpa sees you this waste, it's not bad if you don't spoil the fun! Get out of the house as soon as you get acquainted, don't be ugly when you're kicked out!"
Liu Xiaoyue raised her eyebrows, sneered, and pointed directly at Qin Duan and said, her tone was unusually arrogant, not leaving half of Qin Duan's face.
Qin Duan smiled and didn't say anything, because Liu Xiaomeng had warned him before he came in and didn't want him to cause trouble.
"Get out, I'm afraid my cousin doesn't have this ability yet!"
Liu Xiaomeng frowned and said coldly. Qin Duan is also her husband no matter what she says, just insult him casually, if she wants to drive him out, is this slapping her Liu Xiaomeng in the face!
Although she doesn't like to fight with others by nature, she has never been a weak person.
Liu Xiaoyue glanced at Liu Xiaomeng unexpectedly, but she didn't expect that Liu Xiaomeng, who had never spoken for Qin Duan, would come out for Qin Duan. Not to mention Liu Xiaoyue, even Qin Duan was a little surprised, this should be the first time Liu Xiaomeng has spoken for him and helped him!
Liu Xiaoyue's eyes widened, and she just wanted to go back, but she found that it was her turn to give a gift, so she glared at Qin Duan viciously and slowly walked onto the high platform.
"Grandpa, this is a congratulatory gift for you, a third-order life beast's essence blood, please check it grandpa!"
Liu Xiaoyue had a flattering smile, holding a jade bottle in both hands, and said respectfully to the old man with a red face.
"What? The essence blood of a third-order life beast! This gift is too valuable, isn't it?"
"Third-order life beast essence blood, that's a treasure that can prolong life!"
"Grandpa has just broken through the general, and the essence blood of this third-order life beast can just be used to stabilize the realm, it's really timely!"
As soon as Liu Xiaoyue's voice fell, there was a sudden silence around her, and then one after another exclamations followed.
Everyone looked at the jade bottle in Liu Xiaoyue's hand with a shocked expression, and their eyes were full of fire. It seems that through the jade bottle, you can feel the terrifying energy contained in the essence blood.
"Yes, yes, Xiaoyue has a heart, it must be not easy to find this!"
Even the old man was no exception, his eyes were full of satisfaction, and he couldn't help but praise him.
"As long as grandpa is satisfied, it will be worth the effort!" Hearing the old man's praise, Liu Xiaoyue suddenly smiled.
"Good, good, good!" Old Man Liu touched his beard with one hand and laughed heartily, his already small eyes narrowed into a slit.
"Xiaomeng, I don't know what kind of congratulatory gift you prepared for my grandfather this time? It should be more precious than my third-order life beast essence blood, after all, you are a famous genius of my Liu family, you will never take some rags to perfunctory the old man!"
Listening to the praise of the people around her and her grandfather, although Liu Xiaoyue's heart was full of joy for a while, she didn't forget Liu Xiaomeng's words just now. He smiled coldly in his heart, turned to look at Liu Xiaomeng and said loudly.
With Liu Xiaoyue's words, everyone's eyes suddenly fell on Liu Xiaomeng.
Liu Xiaomeng's face changed, although she was a genius, it didn't mean that she got more resources. Moreover, the resources in her hands were all used for cultivation, so she did not have enough money.
This time, she gave Qin Duan some spirit stones casually, and asked Qin Duan to buy them, which was not a good thing.
If it was normally offered with everyone, it would be nothing. However, as soon as Liu Xiaoyue presented such valuables, she took out her things again, and it looked a little shabby.
But now, there is no time to replace it.
Just when Liu Xiaomeng was about to take the box from Qin Duan and present it. Qin Duan stepped forward first and offered the congratulatory gift.
"Grandpa, this is a congratulatory gift for you!" Qin Duan said respectfully while holding the box in both hands.
"Liu Xiaomeng, you're not mistaken, are you sure this is a congratulatory gift for grandpa!"
Liu Xiaoyue pointed to the broken box in Qin Duan's hand, and said with a bit of yin and yang weirdness. She had already seen the broken box in Qin Duan's hand, and she also knew about Liu Xiaomeng's situation, so she deliberately mentioned Liu Xiaomeng at this time, just to see her make a fool of herself!
"That's right!" Qin Duan nodded.
After Liu Xiaoyue heard this, she snatched the box in Qin Duan's hand and opened it directly. When she saw the contents of the box, Liu Xiaoyue's face changed several times, and finally pointed to the contents and laughed.
"A broken bowl, Qin Duan, do you plan to give this broken bowl to grandpa as a gift?"
Liu Xiaoyue took back the contents of the box, held it high in her hand, and said loudly.
Looking at the box in Liu Xiaoyue's hand, everyone immediately burst into laughter. It turned out to be a bowl, or a broken bowl with missing corners and cracks. It's a ...... that someone took this broken bowl as a congratulatory gift.
"I think it looks like that broken bowl used by the beggar in the west of the city!"
Suddenly, a low murmur came, and everyone present burst into laughter, and their faces were extremely strange.
Don't say it, it's like!
Hearing this, the face of the old man on the stage instantly became gloomy, and he looked at Qin Duan with an angry face, and asked loudly,
"Qin Duan, what do you mean?"
When she saw Liu Xiaoyue take out the broken bowl, Liu Xiaomeng's face turned pale. When he heard his grandfather's questioning, Liu Xiaomeng almost fainted. It was the first time in her life that she was so embarrassed, and she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
"Grandpa, it's none of Qin's business, I bought it, I'm sorry!"
Liu Xiaomeng looked at the old man's questioning, gritted his teeth, blocked in front of Qin Duan, and took the responsibility directly on himself.
In her opinion, this is not to blame Qin Quan, but she did not do her best and did not buy it herself. Qin Duan is just an ordinary person, how can he know what is good or bad! Moreover, this is falling on her, at most it is a bit of a shame, which makes Grandpa angry. If it falls on Qin Duan, he may suffer some crime.
Qin Duan is her nominal husband after all, although she doesn't like it anymore, she doesn't want anything to happen to him!
Liu Xiaomeng's maintenance made Qin Duan stunned for a moment, and then his heart warmed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hang a smile.
"Xiaomeng, you disappointed me so much!
When Old Man Liu heard Liu Xiaomeng's words, his angry beard was shaking. Immediately, with a wave of his hand, he took the broken bowl in Liu Xiaoyue's hand and threw it on the ground.
