Chapter 75: The Qin Family Promoted to One of the Four Great Families of Liu City
In the afternoon, the Liu City Qin Family was filled with distinguished guests, and the tables were overflowing with chicken, duck, fish, and meat.
"Drink! Come, drink! Today is the day our Qin Family rises. From this day forward, our Qin Family officially becomes the fourth great Family of Liu City."
A burly Young Man said loudly, holding a wine bowl.
"Drink! Whoever doesn't drink is a grandson!"
Several young men began a drinking contest.
"Qin Shaojun, do you have the guts to toast the Young Master?"
A Young Man egged him on.
"What is there to be afraid of!"
The burly youth said heroically.
After saying that, he walked toward the table where Qin Ming was sitting.
"Young Master Qin, you are my idol. I toast you!"
Qin Ming picked up his wine cup and said:
"Good! Qin Shaojun, I think quite highly of you. I heard you are the first in the Family's Shao Generation to be promoted to Martial Artist. I toast you as well."
"Thank you, Young Master Qin!"
Qin Shaojun raised his wine bowl and downed the entire bowl in one go.
"Come, let me refill it for you!" Qin Ming personally filled Qin Shaojun's wine bowl to the brim.
Seeing how amiable Qin Ming was, everyone began to offer toasts one after another.
As children of the Qin Family's concubine lines, they rarely spoke to those of the Direct Line, usually just focusing on fulfilling their own duties.
This was also an atmosphere the Qin Family intentionally created; basically every Family was like this.
Only by clearly distinguishing between primary and secondary roles can a Family grow.
Otherwise, internal Family strife alone would be enough to completely exhaust the Family's Origin Qi.
At night, Qin Ming, who had drunk a lot of wine, stood in Qin Yuan's study.
Despite having drunk so much, Qin Ming's eyes remained incredibly clear.
"Qin Ming, you worked hard today."
Qin Yuan looked at Qin Ming and said softly:
"It is your father's lack of ability. If I were a Martial Ancestor, why would you have to endure so much danger!"
"Father, I am also a member of the Qin Family, and I should contribute my strength to the Family. This is what I should do,"
Qin Ming said.
"Good!" Qin Yuan looked at Qin Ming with high spirits and said:
"Minger, you have grown up. You are a true man now—responsible and confident. Even if I were to die now, I could face our ancestors with pride!"
Qin Ming cupped his hands and said:
"Father, you haven't yet seen the Qin Family become the top Family on the continent, nor have you mastered Peerless martial arts. How can you speak of death?"
"No more talk of death, no more talk of death. Today is a day of great joy; how can I say such unlucky things?"
Qin Father lamented.
Looking at his father's burning gaze, Qin Ming thought for a moment and said:
"Father, although we seem to have infinite glory right now, it is also very dangerous."
Hearing Qin Ming's words, Qin Father's drunkenness vanished in an instant.
"Whatever my son wants to say, speak freely!"
"Right now, our Qin Family has obtained those forty shops, and with my master, a Grand Alchemist, backing us, we are truly at our peak.
However, as they say, extreme prosperity is followed by decline. The former Qin Family was just an inconspicuous Family in Liu City, and not many great families kept an eye on us.
But now, our Qin Family has become the fourth great Family in Liu City, making us quite famous.
Many eyes are watching us; if we relax even slightly, we will be pulled down by others.
Our Qin Family's foundation is still too shallow!"
Qin Ming analyzed.
"Yes! Our Qin Family's foundation is too shallow; we can't keep up with this development!"
Gazing at the moonlight on the horizon, Qin Yuan felt a faint sense of worry.
When a Power is too small, it always thinks of developing desperately. Only when it suddenly flourishes does it realize it lacks the ability to control it.
Which of the other great families in Liu City didn't take over a hundred years to develop? Only by developing like that can they sit securely in their positions as top families of Liu City."}],
