Though Gu Qingfeng had no particular interest in women,
but owing to Qin Zhentian’s insistence, he temporarily let Qin Qingran stay by his side.
"Qingran greets Mr. Gu!"
After Qin Zhentian left, Qin Qingran softly opened her red lips. Her voice was somewhat cold, but there was an indistinct shyness as well.
If any other members of the Ancient Qin Family saw this scene, they would undoubtedly exclaim in disbelief.
After all, Qin Qingran had always been proud and solitary, showing no emotion towards others.
Yet now, in front of Gu Qingfeng, she rarely displayed the demeanor of a young woman.
"This is Qin Emperor City, so handle the matters within the mansion as you see fit, but do not intrude upon the place where I meditate."
Gu Qingfeng looked at Qin Qingran, paused, and added another sentence.
"If you have any questions about cultivation, you can come and ask me."
A smile appeared on Qin Qingran’s pretty face, giving people a stunning impression.
With a wave of her hand,
Gu Qingfeng then returned to his closed-door cultivation.
The intent of Qin Zhentian was very clear; he wanted to use this method to draw the Ancient Qin Family closer to the Divine Martial Dynasty.
At the moment, Gu Qingfeng noticed Qin Qingran’s age and talent.
Her willingness to invest such efforts certainly wouldn’t be easily dismissed.
The Ancient Noble Family had deep roots and strong heritage.
If one could foster a good relationship with them, it wasn’t a bad thing either.
As for having one more maid by his side, honestly, Gu Qingfeng didn’t care much about such matters.
For the next few days,
Gu Qingfeng stayed within the mansion, spending most of his time in cultivation.
But every time he came out, Qin Qingran had already prepared meals, showing no sign of the arrogance expected from a proud daughter of heaven.
Gu Qingfeng didn’t hold back and gave her some guidance in cultivation.
Qin Qingran, at just twenty-three years old, already had cultivation entering the Third Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm, with top-notch aptitude.
According to Qin Qingran,
she also had the Emperor Blood in her veins.
Moreover, the concentration of her bloodline was far higher than most members of the Ancient Qin Family.
Gu Qingfeng couldn’t help but ask: "How much Emperor Blood does Qin Ruofeng have?"
"My Second Uncle’s Emperor Blood is the highest among the younger generation of the Ancient Qin Family.
It is said his Emperor Blood concentration is already at eighty percent!"
Qin Qingran responded truthfully.
Hearing this term, Gu Qingfeng’s mouth twitched slightly.
He hadn’t expected this connection between Qin Qingran and Qin Ruofeng.
But after a moment’s thought,
Gu Qingfeng understood.
Just like others, the Ancient Noble Families found it increasingly difficult to bear children as their cultivation grew.
Thus, the marriage and procreation of members of the Ancient Qin Family were similar to that of ordinary people; they married and had children at appropriate ages to continue the family bloodline.
Though Qin Ruofeng seemed young, he was actually over sixty years old.
Whereas Qin Qingran was just over twenty.
The difference of forty years between them meant it was reasonable for the former to be the latter’s elder.
Regarding Qin Ruofeng’s eighty percent Emperor Blood, Gu Qingfeng was quite surprised.
From Qin Qingran’s words,
Gu Qingfeng learned that the higher the concentration of Emperor Blood, the stronger the aptitude.
For most members of the Ancient Qin Family, the Emperor Blood flowing in their veins was actually less than ten percent.
A trace of Emperor Blood,
was sufficient to grant them extraordinary aptitudes beyond ordinary people.
For someone like Qin Qingran, who had over thirty percent Emperor Blood, her level was extremely high.
Such a concentration of Emperor Blood allowed her to enter the Third Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm at just over twenty.
It was important to know.
Qin Qingran’s foundation was solid, not like those who advanced merely through consumption of pills.
When observing Qin Ruofeng’s eighty percent Emperor Blood, one could see the terrifying potential of such a high concentration.
As far as Gu Qingfeng knew,
The concentration of bloodlines was not fixed.
There were many methods to enhance a cultivator’s bloodline concentration, allowing further advancement.
With Qin Ruofeng’s bloodline concentration, if he encountered the right opportunity, he might indeed have his bloodline return to that of an ancestor, akin to a reincarnated Great Emperor.
"When does the Ancient Qin Family plan to act against the Ancient Moon State?"
Gu Qingfeng changed the topic.
Qin Qingran replied: "The family is currently gathering various forces. Soon, all these powerful figures will assemble.
Then, it will be time to move against the Ancient Moon State!"
"How much do you know about the Evil Spirit in the Ancient Moon State?"
Gu Qingfeng asked again.
Upon hearing this, Qin Qingran’s pretty face clearly showed a trace of dread, and she shook her head slightly.
"I have not seen that Evil Spirit, but an ancestral Saint of our Ancient Qin Family once delved into it.
That ancestral Saint said, the Deceitful Heavenly Emperor below the Saint Realm is so ominous that looking directly at him brings misfortune!"
Despite Qin Qingran’s effort to keep her voice steady, anyone could hear the fear contained in her words.
Regarding the existence of the Deceitful Heavenly Emperor,
The Ancient Qin Family was full of dread, even fear.
An ancestral Saint had perished because of it.
To other members of the Ancient Qin Family, who were at most of the Semi-Saint level, such a powerful Evil Spirit was naturally not easily dealt with.
For the next few days,
Gu Qingfeng made no significant moves.
He could sharply sense that within the Qin Emperor City, several ancient and powerful auras had emerged.
"Ancient powerful beings!"
Such thoughts instantly surfaced in Gu Qingfeng’s mind.
These auras were immense, with none weaker than the Great Saint Realm.
