The father and son talked through the night by candlelight.
After a long time, Qin Zi staggered out of the room like a drunken person and returned to his own room in a daze.
Meanwhile, Qin Chuan watched the dazed back of his inexpensive son with a satisfied smile on his face.
This time, the persuasion was basically a success.
He didn't expect his inexpensive son to immediately become a troublemaking scoundrel because this boy was inherently kind and didn't have that potential.
However!!
There's a big difference between being persuaded and not.
Because the same person, when faced with the same situation, makes completely different choices depending on whether they have inner confidence.
For instance, if your boss demands you work overtime without pay.
If you're just an ordinary worker with elderly parents and young children to care for, unwilling to lose your job, you can only swallow your pride.
But if your dad is a big boss!
Overtime without pay?
To hell with that!!
You'd slap the folder onto the boss's face and shout, "If you don't want me here, I'm off to vacation in Paris!"
Then leave in style.
That's the difference!
And Qin Chuan wanted to use this persuasion to subtly instill this change in Qin Zi's heart.
He knew.
No matter what world it is, most people, more or less, have to endure some grievances.
Even big figures are no exception.
Because there will always be bigger figures making you bow your head in submission, even if you inwardly resent it.
What he wanted was for his inexpensive son to dare to be angry and dare to speak, and anytime, fight back if something feels wrong!
If someone acts superior, challenge them!
If someone is unreasonable, challenge them!
If someone bullies the small, challenge them!
In short, when faced with injustice, challenge them! After all, my dad is an invincible powerhouse capable of crushing you to waste, crushing you to death!!
Of course.
The inexpensive son might not reach this level of challenging everything immediately.
However, with a few successful experiences, once he witnesses his father's might, he will naturally become bolder…
...
In the deep of the night, with all silent.
Inside Qin Zi's room.
"Buzz!"
A pitch-black ring emitted a beam of light, and immediately, a golden light flew out from the ring, forming into a graceful shadow.
This was a mature and beautiful woman, tall and draped in long golden hair, her red lips like fire.
"Master."
Qin Zi called out respectfully.
"Hehe, Xiao Zi, no need to be so formal." The blonde woman smiled soothingly, her manner very gentle.
Completely different from her previous aloofness!
"Master, has my father… discovered you?"
Qin Zi asked with some uncertainty.
The blonde woman was silent for a moment, then smiled wryly and said, "Yes… he saw through me at a glance."
"I never expected that in this small Nine Suns Dynasty, there would be such a terrifying monster lurking…"
Monster!!
Qin Zi shuddered at the words and asked cautiously, "Master, is my father… really that strong?"
Although he trusted his father very much.
However, the impressions formed over a decade couldn't be changed easily.
The image of his father in his mind was always that of a Martial Artist in the Yuan Dan realm, and now, suddenly being told he's a peerless powerhouse…
It felt somewhat unrealistic.
Like a dream.
"He's not just strong; he's rather frightening…"
The blonde woman showed a trace of awe in her eyes: "I hid so well, yet he figured me out at a glance."
"That powerful!"
Qin Zi was startled and then asked, "Then how does my dad compare to you in your prime?"
"There's no comparison, no comparing…"
The blonde woman sighed, shaking her head and mocking herself: "Although now I am but a remnant soul, my judgment remains."
"With most people, I can see through them at a glance, but your father… he's like a vast ocean, completely beyond my comprehension."
"Your father's strength already exceeds my knowledge, and maybe…he truly surpassed the Nine Realms once!"
Qin Zi's eyes flashed with brightness as he asked, "Master, are there really other realms beyond the Nine Realms?"
"Well… according to legend, there are, but such existences seem not to be within this world."
The blonde woman tilted her head in thought.
"Are you saying that aside from our world, there are even higher worlds?!"
Qin Zi widened his eyes.
Tonight, his worldview was refreshed again and again, constantly expanding, simply beyond imagination.
"With your current strength, you can't even leave the Nine Sun Dynasty, so why know so much?"
The blonde woman tapped his head, sternly saying, "You should focus on your training, don't aim too high."
"Oh."
Qin Zi rubbed his head, nodded obediently, and then started meditative training.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
Rays of golden light burst forth from his body, forming into layers of divine halos.
The blonde woman witnessed this and sighed inwardly.
"No wonder such a small place could make me encounter a rare Divine Body, unexpectedly the bloodline of such a super strong ancestor..."
...
Patriarch's Pavilion.
In the training room.
Patriarch Qin Kuang sat cross-legged, while Qin Meng sat properly on the opposite side.
He felt a little intimidated by his father.
"Father, do you really intend to kill that old dog Qin Chuan on the Life and Death Platform? Won't this provoke criticism?"
Qin Meng whispered.
"Haha, there will certainly be criticism, after all, he was the former Patriarch, and many clansmen still side with him."
Qin Kuang chuckled, then said viciously, "But without killing him, I won't be at peace!"
"Especially seeing that little bastard of his family regain his talent, it makes me want to kill him even more."
"His son can recover his abilities, what if he also gets some opportunity and makes a comeback? So, I need to eradicate the problem!"
Qin Meng nodded in agreement, then asked, "What if someone tries to stop you?"
Qin Kuang squinted his eyes and replied, "Haha, I've already contacted several elders from our lineage to keep order, no one should dare cause trouble!"
"You're indeed incredible, Father..."
Qin Meng flattered.
"Focus on your training. Although I'll handle that little bastard Qin Zi for you, in Xunyang City, you still face competitors among the younger generation."
Qin Kuang said in a deep voice.
"Mm."
Qin Meng nodded and began training.
...
The next day, Xunyang City was in an uproar.
The Qin Family had built a Life and Death Platform on the street outside their residence for a life-and-death battle!
And the combatants were the old and new Patriarchs of the Qin Family!
This was a big enough attraction.
As a result, early in the morning, the street outside the Qin Family was already crowded with people.
The Life and Death Platform that the Qin Family erected overnight was surrounded by a sea of people.
"Tsk tsk, such an internal strife hasn't occurred in Xunyang City for a long time, has it?"
"Do you think they might both perish?"
"Both perish? How could that be? Haven't you heard? Qin Chuan, the former Patriarch, has shattered his core and lost all his power."
"Then... how can this even be a fight? Isn't it clear that the new Patriarch Qin Kuang intends to kill the former one?"
"Yeah, won't the higher-ups of the Qin Family stop this?"
"Haha, stop what? The life-and-death battle was agreed upon by both parties, willing participants, who can interfere?"
"I don't understand why Qin Chuan would agree to such a doomed fight, the former Patriarch of the Qin Family doesn't seem like a foolish man."
"Sigh... I think he was probably threatened by the new Patriarch, because he still has a son..."
After a long while.
A group of people walked out of the Qin Family gates; it was Qin Kuang, leading a group of Qin family members.
The area around the Life and Death Platform was instantly surrounded by the Quinn family members, and a path was cleared.
"Apologies for keeping everyone waiting."
Qin Kuang smiled, cupped his hands to the crowd, then walked up the Life and Death Platform along the path, overlooking all directions.
At this moment, he was in high spirits.
Today, he was going to trample Qin Chuan underfoot in front of all of Xunyang City and humiliate him to death!
But after waiting for a long time.
Qin Chuan did not appear.
Qin Kuang gazed towards the interior of the Qin Family, laughing coldly, "Qin Chuan, surely you're not too terrified to come? Don't say you talked nonsense because you were drunk yesterday!"
His voice was loud, echoing like thunder, audible across half of Xunyang City.
"What's the rush this early in the morning? No need to be so eager to die."
A calm voice rang out.
Wow!
The crowd turned their heads in unison.
Only to see Qin Chuan, accompanied by Qin Zi, slowly walking out through the Qin Family gates.
His posture was upright, his white clothes fluttering in the wind, exuding both steadiness and a touch of elegance, drawing the attention of all.
