Chapter 328: The Arrival of the Ouyang Family Head

Upon entering the Zhang Family residence, a Middle-aged Man dressed in black walked over: "Young Master, you have returned."

Qin Ming asked: "Hongwu, how is the procurement of the items coming along?"

Hongwu had originally been the steward at the manor outside the city, but since things were too busy here, Qin Ming had transferred him over.

That manor outside the city would be left empty from now on. He was not short of Spirit Stones, nor did he intend to sell it. In the future, that manor would merely serve as a foothold for the Qin Family, and it would basically be used very rarely.

"The items have been mostly procured, but the installation is a bit troublesome. Young Master, do all of these things really need to be replaced?" Hongwu said reluctantly. The Zhang Family had many items that were eighty percent new and well-maintained. These items were worth a fortune, and he felt reluctant to replace them.

"Replace them all. There is no need to save Spirit Stones for me," Qin Ming instructed. "Our Qin Family has just moved here; everything must be new to make it festive. It is just a small amount of Spirit Stones, do not worry about it."

"Yes, I will definitely have everything installed by this afternoon," Hongwu guaranteed.

"Hmm!" Qin Ming nodded. "If there are not enough hands, you can hire more people; do not be afraid of spending Spirit Stones. Are there two rooms that have already been cleaned up?"

"Yes, Young Master, please follow me." Hongwu led Qin Ming and Jue Wuya to two empty rooms, and Qin Ming and Jue Wuya moved into them respectively.

Qin Ming sat cross-legged and began to Cultivate earnestly.

Controlling the entire Chenyang City was merely a distraction for Qin Ming after Cultivating. Right now, the most important thing was the improvement of his own strength; everything else was secondary.

Soon, the sky darkened, and Qin Ming also ended today's Cultivation.

"Father should be back soon." Pushing open the door and looking at the sky outside, Qin Ming walked towards the outside of Chenyang City.

Just as he reached the outskirts of Chenyang City, a Huayu Sect Disciple came running over.

"Sect Master!"

Qin Ming nodded and asked: "Has Father arrived?"

"He is still ten miles away. I saw the Sect Master waiting here, so I came over first," the Disciple said.

"Let's go, come with me to welcome my father," Qin Ming said with a smile.

"Minger!" Qin Yuan laughed when he saw Qin Ming walking over.

"Father, Elder, Elder Ouyang." Qin Ming nodded and said.

The Elders and the Qin Family Disciples were very happy to see Qin Ming.

"Young Master Qin, we didn't believe it when the Family Head said he had taken root in Chenyang City. At the same time, Elder Ouyang happened to be a guest at the Qin Family, and upon hearing this, he wanted to come and take a look," an Elder said.

"Welcome, welcome." Qin Ming said, looking at Elder Ouyang and Ouyang Xiaoxiao.

Qin Ming had already guessed why Elder Ouyang had gone to the Qin Family. He must have known that his father had advanced to the Martial Ancestor Realm and wanted to offer his congratulations.

He also heard that the Qin Family planned to relocate to Chenyang City, so naturally, he wanted to inquire about the situation.

In Liu City, only the Qin Family and the Ouyang Family had Martial Artists in the Martial Ancestor Realm. If the Qin Family left Liu City, wouldn't the Ouyang Family become the overlord of Liu City?

If the Qin Family settled down in Chenyang City, they would not look down upon the meager profits of Liu City and would very likely abandon Liu City directly; the Ouyang Family Head was naturally concerned.

The profits of the shops in Liu City and Chenyang City were completely incomparable. Take the Medicinal Pill shop, for example; the Medicinal Pill shops in Liu City mostly sold first-grade Medicinal Pills, and second-grade Medicinal Pills were rare. However, the Medicinal Pill shops in Chenyang City mostly sold second-grade Medicinal Pills, and there were many third-grade Medicinal Pills.

The difference between grades resulted in profits that could not be calculated.

The Ouyang Family Head cupped his hands and said: "Coming uninvited, I hope you will not take offense."

"Even if the Ouyang Family did not come, we would have invited you. Our Qin Family only has you, the Ouyang Family, as an ally; if we don't invite anyone else, we must invite the Ouyang Family. I originally wanted to go to Liu City to pick you up in person, but since you could come over, it just saves me a trip," Qin Ming said with a chuckle.

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare."

Qin Ming took the hand of the Ouyang Family Head and said: "Liu City is stable now, and there is nothing going on. Since you are here this time, stay and play for a while longer."

Ouyang Xiaoxiao watched Qin Ming, who was greeting them with ease, and felt a bit of secret joy in her heart. "Qin Ming welcomes our Ouyang Family, and he even said he wanted to go and pick us up in person."
