Martial Master

"Live quietly, no matter what, Yuechi has always considered you as the second brother in her heart."

Qin Yuanzhi was silent, pulling out a stack of silver notes from his body. "Third sister, here is some money for you."

"No, second brother, I can't take it."

"Listen to me." Qin Yuanzhi forcibly stuffed the money into Qin Yuechi's hands. "I know you don't have much savings, and living in the capital requires money in many aspects. Without money, where will you and Chen'er stay tonight? You might manage, but how about Chen'er?"

Qin Yuanzhi's final words made Qin Yuechi stop refusing. As a mother, how could she bear to let her child suffer?

"Second brother, Yuechi thanks you."

"Don't mention it. If you face any difficulties in the future, come to me. If you can't find me, then find Ying'er. Don't try to hold on by yourself, understand?"

"Mm." Qin Yuechi nodded, her eyes slightly moist.

Beside them, Qin Ying curiously assessed her younger brother. "Qin Chen, why do I feel like you're different from before?"

"Am I? Ying jie, you must be mistaken." Qin Chen smiled, showing no worry or loss about leaving the Qin family.

"You are different, much more confident than before. Previously, in front of Ying jie, you were timid and didn't dare to say anything."

"That's because Ying jie is so beautiful. I was naturally too shy to speak when I saw you before."

It must be said, Qin Ying is a classic beauty. At eighteen, she has developed well, with a curvaceous figure—where it should be curved, it is, and where it should be slim, it is. Especially those long legs, tight and slender, are stunning.

A blush appeared on Qin Ying's face as she said angrily, "You little rascal, daring to tease your Ying jie, aren't you?"

"How could I dare!"

Watching the two kids jest, Qin Yuechi smiled slightly, seeming to have eased her troubled mind considerably.

"Chen'er, let's go."

Qin Yuechi took Qin Chen and merged into the crowd.

Leaving the Qin family, Qin Yuechi didn't feel too sad. Besides worrying about Qin Chen suffering, she felt more relief.

The immediate priority for the two was to find a place to live.

Qin Yuechi and Qin Chen came to the property trading office, the place where the whole capital buys and sells houses.

Seeing the housing prices on the bulletin board, Qin Yuechi couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

Land in the capital costs a fortune, and housing prices are ridiculously high. The most expensive property cost over a million silver coins, covering several acres. Even the ordinary ones cost tens of thousands. Finally, Qin Yuechi found some houses priced at only a few thousand silver coins at the bottom of the bulletin board.

These houses were located in the west city of the capital, generally where commoners lived.

Even so, without the silver coins given by Qin Yuanzhi, Qin Yuechi almost couldn't afford even the cheapest one.

Eventually, after looking at a few houses, Qin Yuechi gritted her teeth and spent six thousand silver coins to buy a house in the west city.

The house wasn't big but was clean and had a small courtyard.

The two spent half a day cleaning the house until it was tidy. By then, it was already dark.

"Chen'er, it's late. Rest early."

After dinner, Qin Yuechi said with concern.

"Mm."

Qin Chen nodded.

Watching Qin Chen close the door tightly, Qin Yuechi glanced at the simple furniture around and sighed slightly. She decided to find a job in a few days. Otherwise, with only the remaining silver coins, they wouldn't last long.

Especially since Qin Chen needed to cultivate.

As the saying goes, "Poor in literature, rich in martial arts." Without enough resources, how can Qin Chen keep up with his peers at Tianxing Academy?

Returning to his room, Qin Chen didn't rest but sat cross-legged with bright eyes.

"The humiliation mother suffered, I must make the Qin family pay back double. They will regret driving us out sooner or later."

Qin Chen's eyes were sharp as he pondered, "The academy assessment is only days away. The urgent task is to quickly improve my strength and try to awaken my bloodline before the academy exam. Without a bloodline, I'll never return to the peak of my past life, let alone talk about revenge!"
