C243 Secret Discussion
The mansion of Qing family was too big. It was even a park. The size of the backyard was also shockingly big. After passing through the second backyard, there were a few single-target villas behind it.
The style of these buildings were all in the middle style. It was obvious that they were specially designed by a master teacher. The view of the garden blended into one, giving off a feeling of incomparable compatibility.
When there was no one else in the backyard, Yang Qiu held Qing Ning's hand. She only struggled for a moment symbolic before letting Yang Qiu hold her hand.
The two of them came to a courtyard that was obviously the most important place in the Qing family. Before Qing Ning brought Yang Qiu in, her face began to turn red again.
When they entered, there were two old maids waiting at the door from afar. When the two old maids looked at Yang Qiu, their faces were full of smiles.
"Eldest Miss, young master of the Yang family, the old master has ordered us to invite young master of the Yang family in. Eldest Miss, the madam wants you to go to the front hall. "
"Alright. "
Qing Ning glanced at Yang Qiu and immediately followed an old maid to the front hall. Yang Qiu followed another person to the back and passed through another corridor before he arrived at the entrance of an independent courtyard.
"Young Master, please come in. "
Yang Qiu nodded and pushed open the door. He walked through the courtyard and went in.
It was a study with a large area. The bookshelves on the four walls were filled with books. They were all extremely precious thread-bound books. Not to mention the value of these books, just these bookshelves were all made of top quality black wood. There was even a faint fragrance unique to black wood in the air, which was very pleasant to smell.
A few books and a bottle of red wine were placed on a large desk of the middle-aged man. Qing Changming was drinking while flipping through an ancient thread-bound book in his hand. He leaned back on the sofa with a calm expression.
He didn't stand up when Yang Qiu came in. He smiled at Yang Qiu.
"Oh, you are here? Sit down and pour some wine for yourself. You can read whatever book you like. These are all lone books. "
Yang Qiu replied neither servile nor overbearing. He did not stand on ceremony and first circled around the study. He was secretly a little surprised.
This study of Qing family was just a collection of books. He was afraid that according to the amount of money, it would be an astronomical figure.
Not only were there ancient books in the shape of paper, there were also silk and even bamboo slips.
These ancient books were not history books, but some strange stories and wild histories. Some of them were even quite similar. Some of them were related to Taoism.
Yang Qiu did not pick up a book from the bookshelf to read. Instead, he quietly walked over and sat down. He poured a cup of wine and took a sip. Then he carefully looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who would become his father-in-law in the future.
Qing Changming, the current leader of Qing family, the future head of the family.
Qing Changming was actually fifty-four years old, but he looked to be in his early forties. Judging from his appearance, he was the future head of Qing family. A very scholarly and even somewhat dissolute middle-aged man with fair skin. When he was young, he must have been a suave and elegant Young Master. Even now, he could be said to be handsome.
He was Qing Ning's father. He had some of Qing Ning's shadow, but Qing Ning seemed to have inherited more of her mother's looks and personality.
Qing Changming had a lot of women, so naturally only Qing Ning's mother could be his wife. However, there were quite a lot of people in the secret room, but he had only given birth to one daughter with his wife. He did not even have a child with the women outside. This made people curious.
In fact, Yang Qiu knew why Qing Changming did this.
He was a very heartless person. Or rather, he was a very heartless person. He's a very passionate man.
Logically speaking, he was the head of the family. The future head of the family, he would give birth to a bunch of sons and nurture them to inherit the family. Wouldn't that be justifiable?
However, he just had to give up on the child after giving birth to a daughter.
This was his affection for his wife, and also his ruthlessness towards the women around him.
Qing Changming was naturally not a cultivator, but he just sat on the sofa, leaning sideways while reading a book. He even gave off a lazy feeling, but Yang Qiu could sense an aura that no ordinary person possessed from him.
This was the first time Yang Qiu felt this kind of aura from an ordinary person.
Disdain!
That's right, it was contempt.
Disdain towards this world.
Qing Changming looked at this world. It was a space that was one level higher than ordinary people. Yang Qiu didn't even sense this kind of aura from Elder Zhu, Elder Lin, and the others.
This was also the conclusion that Yang Qiu had made at the beginning.
This man could really be called an interesting man.
Living in the ancient times, he was the emperor. He could make millions of people live with a single sentence. He could also kill millions of people with a single sentence.
Furthermore, he wouldn't have any emotional fluctuations. Even if these dead people were good people, they were innocent people. In Qing Changming's eyes, he wouldn't feel guilty at all.
This was the perspective of a cultivator.
All living beings were ants.
Yang Qiu realized that when Qing Changming was looking at his wife and daughter, there was nothing else in his eyes. He was looking at everyone, including himself and his uncle, brothers, and nephew. There was never a single ripple in his eyes.
No matter whether he was smiling at you, expressing his excitement, or sighing, the depths of his eyes would always be as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
Yang Qiu had seen all kinds of people. He was a great figure in Cultivation Realm, the head of a wealthy family in Mortal Realm, and he had even seen the legendary War God of the Three Realms, even though it was just a shadow.
It had to be said, what Qing Changming was thinking. . . If he only used his eyes to look, he wouldn't be able to see through it.
"How's the wine?"
After more than half an hour, Qing Changming put down the book in his hand and looked at Yang Qiu with a smile. He still looked very easy-going, but there was an additional sound of appreciation in the corner of his eyes.
Yang Qiu smiled faintly and nodded at him.
"I will call you Second Master first!"
Qing Changming's mouth showed more appreciation.
"You are very smart. You are a young man I have seen before. No! You are the smartest person I have ever seen. You are also the one I cannot see through. To tell you the truth, No matter how powerful you are, no matter how much you and my daughter love each other, No matter how you think that my Qing family is useless to you, you can take my daughter away. But I can't truly trust you! "
Yang Qiu was slightly stunned.
Trust me?
Could it be that convincing you is something to be proud of?
Second Master Qing suddenly smiled.
"Alright, kid. Don't think too much. You can't deal with the people of the five big sects now, and they can't do anything to you. How are you going to break the trap in the capital?"
