Chapter 135: Chapter 8: Prestigious Families
Tianmiao did not go downstairs; she just stood at the uppermost level of the spiral staircase on the second floor, overlooking the scene below.
Qin Zifeng, a mber of the Qin Family, was one of the noble families that once followed the Saint. Their ancestors were most skilled in the secret technique of chanisms. Nowadays, they appear to run legitimate businesses and own many publicly listed companies. In reality, the Qin Family is the world’s largest arms dealer.
The young man sitting across from Grandpa Tang is the only future heir of the Qin Family, Qin Zifeng. Qin Zifeng has distinct facial features and a calm deanor, giving off a steady and reliable vibe. This is indeed true; though Qin Zifeng is not yet thirty, he is already capable of handling matters on his own, managing most of the family affairs.
With such superb conditions, it’s natural for many won to admire him. However, he has always maintained his integrity and dedicated himself wholeheartedly to his work. Grandpa Tang appreciates him greatly, and there is also a notion of matrimonial alliance between the two families.
Neither Qin Zifeng nor Tang Wanwan has any objections to this. Firstly, they grew up together as childhood sweethearts; secondly, neither has found anyone better. Getting married and living together is fine. A marriage alliance between the two families also brings great benefits, so both accepted the idea.
"How is your grandfather’s health?" Grandpa Tang chatted with Qin Zifeng.
"Very well. He’s busy every day tinkering with things in his secret chamber." A smile appeared on Qin Zifeng’s handso face, "Grandpa says he wants you to visit him when you have ti; he has a treasure he’d like to share with you."
"Oh, he called
this morning, being all mysterious. I’ll find ti to visit him," Grandpa Tang said with a chuckle. He had an excellent relationship with Qin Zifeng’s grandfather, and the two elderly n often got together for als and chats.
"And your father, is he still unreliable?" Grandpa Tang asked thoughtfully. He liked Qin Zifeng very much, but whenever his father ca up, he couldn’t help but frown. Qin Zifeng’s father was a playboy in his younger years, and though he’s llowed with age, he hasn’t changed his ways with won. The number of his lovers is unknown, ranging from innocent students to celebrities, and even divorced won. The one good thing is that although he has many lovers, he hasn’t fathered any illegitimate children. This is likely due to a strict rule set by Qin Zifeng’s grandfather.
"Father is currently on vacation, coincidentally on the island he purchased with Uncle Tang last ti." When Qin Zifeng ntioned his father, he showed no emotion despite his thoughts.
"With his mistress, I bet?" Grandpa Tang snorted coldly, "He’s quite old now, why does he still cause so much worry? Isn’t he afraid of making your grandfather’s blood pressure spike one day?"
"I don’t think so," Qin Zifeng replied with a smile. "If he ever infuriates Grandpa, I think Grandpa would make him realize that the treasures in his secret chamber aren’t rely decorative. However, I’ll ensure Father doesn’t go overboard."
"Hahaha, indeed!" Grandpa Tang burst into laughter. He rembered when Qin Zifeng was just born, and his father was fooling around outside again; Qin Zifeng’s grandfather nearly pinned Qin Zifeng’s father’s leg with a crossbow. Qin Zifeng, when dealing with matters involving his father, has handled everything well—not being blindly compliant nor overly demanding. As a result, the Qin Family appears harmonious on the surface, which is one of the reasons Grandpa Tang appreciates Qin Zifeng.
Tianmiao rested her hands on the stair rail, observing the people below. Of the four great families, how many still possess Spiritual Power? Tang Wanwan doesn’t, Qin Zifeng doesn’t, and Grandpa Tang only knows a little bit.
This world is indeed slowly changing. The chaotic era when demons road rampant will never return. As a result, those with extraordinary skills will gradually disappear...
Recalling the wish made by that person, a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Tianmiao’s mouth.
