When they arrived at the entrance of the main hall, Qin Zhantian's attendant, Qin Xiance, was already waiting there.
The main hall of the Public House was built in a majestic manner. The floor was paved with black jade, as flat as a mirror and extremely hard. Qin Xian stood in front like a door god.
"Second Young Master, the Patriarch has instructed you to enter immediately after you arrive.”
Hearing this, Qin Yan nodded and sorted out his thoughts. Then, he subconsciously tidied up his clothes and combed his messy hair before coming to the door.
"Greetings, Father.”
"Come in."
A faint voice came from the hall. It was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.
Qin Yan took a deep breath and walked in.
Only to see!
In the hall, there were two rows of red sandalwood chairs on the left and right. The altar in the center did not worship the Heaven and Earth, only a huge word.
It was the word "Wu".
The words were upright and majestic, giving people a sense of majesty.
Below the word " Wu " was a purple-gold dragon throne. If it wasn't for the fact that the dragon claw only had four toes, people would have mistaken it for the throne of the emperor.
A middle-aged man wearing a black flood dragon robe and a purple gold crown sat on the chair.
He placed his hands on the armrests of the chair. His fingers were as white as jade, and there was not a single calloused spot on them. He calmly sized up Qin Yan, and he had a powerful aura that seemed to be in control of the world.
Qin Yan only took a glance and his heart trembled. He quickly lowered his head, feeling as if he was about to be seen through.
Naturally, he was the Great Yan Empire's martial arts grandmaster, First Rank Defender Duke, Grand Marshal of the three armies, and one of the pillars of the country, Qin Zhantian.
It was slightly different from what Qin Yan had imagined. Other than Qin Zhantian, there was no third person here.
Naturally, Lady Meng was not around.
At this moment, the familiar voice of the system sounded in his mind. Mission: A loving father and filial son, a harmonious family.”
"Greetings, father.”Qin Yan didn't have time to think about how to be a father and a son. He bowed.
"Stand closer."
Qin Zhantian said calmly and pointed.
"Yes."
Qin Yan agreed, took a few steps forward, and said in a clear voice,""Father, do you have any instructions for me?”
"Hmm?"
Qin Zhantian noticed Qin Yan's different attitude from before. Suddenly, he frowned. A divine light surged out of his hand and formed a giant claw, grabbing at Qin Yan.
Qin Yan wanted to move, but he couldn't. He could only watch helplessly as a foot-long blue dragon-shaped martial soul flew out of his body and was caught in Qin Zhantian's palm.
Immediately after, the tattered Azure Dragon Armor also flew into Qin Zhantian's hand.
Qin Yan lowered his head, not daring to breathe loudly.
Although he was the second son of the first wife, he had seen Qin Zhantian less than five times a year.
Moreover, he knew that Qin Zhantian cared about almost nothing other than martial arts and power.
There were once a few illegitimate sons who disobeyed him and were directly sentenced to death.
"Not bad. How long has it been since you awakened your second Martial Spirit?”
Qin Zhantian retracted his restraints.
The two martial souls were like frightened kittens as they quickly returned to Qin Yan's body.
"Three months."
"I heard that you fainted for no reason last night and killed Qin Shiba because you suspected him of poisoning you?”
"Yes."
"Qin Gui asked you for a record of his cultivation and spoke rudely, so you killed him as well.”
"Yes."
"Then, you went to the Violet Fate Pavilion and relied on your strength to injure Qin Yi, as well as two esteemed guests?”
Qin Zhantian's tone was very cold, getting colder and colder, making people shudder.
Even though Qin Yan was full of courage at the moment, he still felt a chill down his spine and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Hmm?"
Seeing that Qin Yan did not answer, Qin Zhantian hummed softly.
Qin Yan felt the air around him freeze. His legs went weak and he almost knelt on the ground.
If not for the fact that he was a transmigrator and had lost most of his respect, he would have probably knelt down already.
Qin Yan took a deep breath and replied in a low voice,""Father, I know I was wrong.”
He knew very well that he absolutely could not refute or quibble in front of Qin Zhantian. Even if he had a reason, he had to act according to his will.
Qin Zhantian had already refined his martial will into his divine soul. He was as majestic as a prison, as divine as a demon.
Who would dare to argue with him? Those few dead bastard sons were a lesson for him.
The atmosphere in the main hall was terrifyingly oppressive.
It was so dull that he could not breathe.
"It's good that you know your mistake."
Qin Zhantian's voice was indifferent, revealing a bone-piercing coldness."I usually don't bother with you, but you're being a little presumptuous. There were laws in the country and rules in the family. He is fond of killing, bullying his younger brother, and losing his manners in front of guests. Any one of these three offenses would result in a death penalty. However, considering that you have suffered some grievances before and there is a reason for it, if I directly kill you, you will definitely be dissatisfied.”
"The Holy Land's ultimate move is in two months. You're also considered a disciple of the Martial Arts Institute, and now that you've awakened your second Martial Soul, the elders of the Martial Arts Institute will definitely let you participate on account of your mother. In short, if you can be recruited into the Holy Land this time, your status will naturally be extraordinary. If they were not selected, the family law would still be enforced.”Qin Zhantian said coldly.
"Yes, Father."
Qin Yan lowered his head again.
" Just now, you defeated Qin Yi with your fists and feet, and then defeated Mu Hanyan and Su Kuang with your sword skills. It can be seen that your talent in the way of the sword is amazing…" Qin Zhantian said coldly," However, you are not doing things properly. You like to sneak attack and hurt people. This is the devil path!"”
He frowned slightly, as if he was extremely disgusted by Qin Yan's previous methods.
Qin Zhantian's gaze fluctuated for a moment. He looked at Qin Yan and pondered for a moment before suddenly saying,"I'll punish you to enter the ancestral shrine and reflect on your ancestors 'memorial tablets for ten days.”
"Yes, Father." Qin Yan did not refute either.
"To practice martial arts, one must first establish morality. It is difficult to achieve great things if the mind is not right. Qin Jian said that he would be escorted to the ancestral shrine of Qin City and not be given any food or water for ten days.”After Qin Zhantian finished speaking, he waved his hand and shouted,"Get out."
"Thank you, Father."
Qin Yan bowed, knowing that he had passed the test, and then left the main hall.
Ten days without food and water, mortals would naturally die, but to martial artists, they would at most suffer some living pain.
"I'm Qin Zhantian's bloodline after all. Although he didn't mention that I was poisoned, he's very observant. He'll most likely investigate later, so he didn't directly enforce the family law. The final reprimand seemed to be warning me about martial arts.”
On the way out of the residence, Qin Yan subconsciously had this thought.
Although Qin Zhantian's tone was strict just now, he did not take it seriously.
"No!"
Qin Yan's eyes narrowed slightly and he instantly regained his senses.
Recalling Qin Zhantian's words and the things he felt, he seemed to suddenly understand something.
"There's a hidden meaning in Qin Zhantian's words. When he mentioned the Holy Land's ultimate move, he hid a cold killing intent, but he forcefully restrained it. Could it be that he really wants to kill me?!？”
Qin Yan let out a long sigh in his heart."No matter what, we can't stay in the Public House for long.”
