Chapter 744: The Qian Family's Prodigal, the Height of Absurdity
Chapter 744: The Qian Family's Prodigal, the Height of Absurdity
"Done!" Qin Muye stretched his body. It was his first time switching, but he didn't feel much different.
"Only, this vast family business is about to decline."
Qin Muye looked at the pavilions and terraces of this great family and couldn't help but sigh. The person he replaced was named Qian Tu, a name with a good meaning.
Although Qian Tu was a prodigal, skilled in eating, drinking, and entertainment, he had yet to successfully contract a spirit beast. However, as long as his parents were alive, he could continue living like this without any problems.
The problem was that his parents were dead, and the news had not yet arrived. It was expected to take another three to five days.
This was why Qin Muye said the Qian family was about to decline. Qian Tu's parents were just one step away from becoming Transcendent Immortals, the pillars of the newly established Qian family. Once they were gone, the Qian family would become a juicy target.
Although Transcendent Immortals weren't much in the Spirit Beast Realm, they were more than enough in this small county.
After all, it was just a small place, not a bustling area of the Great Spirit Dynasty, akin to a small city at the beginning of a story.
The dynasty that ruled the entire Spirit Beast Realm was called the Great Spirit Dynasty. The 9th-rank Spirit Beast Master was the Great Spirit Emperor, who had enough power to suppress the various great families.
"Within three days at most, I need to find a way to transfer the assets. I didn't expect my first task to be something so criminal."
The Qian family wasn't beyond saving, but Qin Muye didn't want to save them. It was better for the Qian family to fall, even for Qian Tu. The people of the Qian family were no good to him.
Reviewing Qian Tu's memories, his prodigal lifestyle was largely due to his uncles and aunts.
Qian Tu's parents, as Spirit Beast Masters, had made the Qian family a newly established great family, but because the family foundation was weak, they spent most of their time striving outside to strengthen it.
The less powerful relatives helped manage the household, but they all had their own selfish motives.
Thus, they had ruined Qian Tu, while using the Qian family's resources to cultivate their own children, who had already reached the Fourth Realm of the Mortal Stage, while Qian Tu's parents were only at the Ninth Realm of the Mortal Stage.
In most cases, if Qian Tu wanted to cultivate, his uncles and aunts would guide him to indulge in pleasures, spending lavishly and using various methods to tempt him.
"No wonder he hasn't even reached the First Realm of the Mortal Stage."
Without a Spirit Beast cultivation technique, how could he cultivate?
Every time he sought to learn, they would either make excuses or divert the conversation to some new entertainment, leaving Qian Tu so misled that he couldn't even find his way home. Many people must have mocked him.
Previously, this would have been bad news, but now, it might not be. A commoner has no crime, but possessing wealth invites trouble.
With the death of Qian Tu's parents, the Qian family's assets would be liquidated. If blame were to be assigned, it would likely fall on his uncles and aunts. Could Qian Tu be held responsible?
Who in the county didn't know that Qian Tu was just a prodigal who couldn't cultivate?
Even if they targeted him, they couldn't get the Qian family's assets. The best way to get the assets would be to support Qian Tu and use his name to deplete the Qian family, rather than killing him.
By transferring the assets in advance, Qin Muye could let his uncles and aunts take the blame, a perfect plan.
Who would suspect a mindless prodigal?
"Master, Young Master Wang from Qiushui Tower has invited you to watch Ruhua's performance," a servant walked in, fawning.
"..." Qin Muye's face turned black. There were too many issues with this.
Admittedly, although Qian Tu was a prodigal, he really knew how to have fun.
However, being so indulgent wasn't a good thing. Excessive indulgence could lead to a depletion of one's vital energy, and as a mere mortal, the uncles in the Qian family were planning to ruin Qian Tu's future.
If he depleted too much, he wouldn't even be able to reach the First Realm of the Mortal Stage, let alone achieve anything significant while lost in pleasures.
"No, tell him I'm not feeling well recently," Qin Muye refused immediately. He still needed to transfer the assets.
The servant was taken aback. What kind of excuse was this? "Master, shall I go to the Patriarch and get you a Yiyang Pill? One pill will guarantee you are full of vigor," the servant quickly said.
The Yiyang Pill was not for enhancing virility but a legitimate cultivation resource. Normally, such resources would never fall into Qin Muye's hands, but if he refused to indulge in pleasures due to his health, he would definitely be given one.
"No, that thing is bitter and doesn't taste good. Let's rest for a couple of days first," Qin Muye waved his hand, signaling for the servant to leave.
This Young Master Wang was trying to take advantage of the Qian family's influence, and this servant was even simpler. He was one of the uncles' people. If he truly belonged to Qian Tu or his parents, he would never have treated Qian Tu so poorly.
The entire Qian family was already under the control of these uncles. Otherwise, Qian Tu's parents would have known about his real situation.
It was only because Qian Tu was still useful that they continued to let his parents serve as the pillars and obtain various resources for them. Otherwise, Qian Tu would have been eliminated long ago and wouldn't have survived until now.
"This young master's health is important. I'll report to the Patriarch and have him arrange a doctor to examine you," the servant said, running off without waiting for Qin Muye's response.
"Tsk, the Patriarch? Ha," Qin Muye truly recognized the servant's loyalty, but he was loyal to the Qian family's Patriarch, Qian Jingtian.
The name sounded impressive, but in reality, it was only changed after the Qian family rose to prominence.
Qian Tu's parents were the second in line in the Qian family, so they were usually called the Second Patriarch.
Since they were often away from the Qian family, the actual controller of the Qian family was Qian Jingtian and Qian Jingdi.
Qian Jingtian was the First Patriarch, and Qian Jingdi was the Third Patriarch, and these two jointly managed the Qian family.
Honestly, Qin Muye didn't understand why these two dared to give themselves such domineering names, not worrying about being killed for their arrogance.
If it were Qin Muye, he definitely wouldn't dare to change his name to something so arrogant, with names like Jingtian and Jingdi, sounding like they were the only ones supreme.
As for the reason, Qin Muye did know. It was said that a Spirit Beast Master with a spirit beast that could reveal heavenly secrets had convinced them that by changing their names, the Qian family would become the unparalleled great family in the world.
Whether the Qian family would become an unparalleled great family, Qin Muye didn't know, but he was sure that these two were laughed at behind their backs.
The so-called spirit beast that could reveal heavenly secrets was a fake. People weren't fools; such a miraculous spirit beast would definitely be investigated, and the investigation exposed the lie.
These two brothers must have known, but for the sake of face, they pretended not to know. What else could they do?
Later, they probably felt that these names were truly impressive. Even though their strength didn't match, after being tricked by that Spirit Beast Master into giving up a lot of resources, not using the names would have been a huge loss.
"Tu Nephew, are you alright? I heard you're sick and didn't even go to Qiufeng Tower," a middle-aged man rushed over. This was Qian Jingtian. For him, Qian Tu not going to Qiufeng Tower definitely meant he was seriously ill; otherwise, why would he say such a thing.
"Hmm, I've been feeling quite bored lately. The girls at Qiufeng Tower are just the same old," Qin Muye said, looking uninterested.
Hearing this and seeing Qin Muye's expression, Qian Jingtian finally breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Qian Tu wasn't reforming; he was just bored with Qiufeng Tower.
"Ah, Uncle has wronged you, but don't worry. I'll immediately have Qiufeng Tower bring in some new girls, guaranteed to be fresh," Qian Jingtian hastened to say. To cater to Qian Tu, this wastrel, the Qian family had a hand in every tavern and brothel in the county.
"Really!" Qin Muye seemed to show some interest, but not much.
"Would I lie to you? I'm your Uncle. When have I ever lied to you?" Qian Jingtian said with enthusiasm.
"That's true, just don't make me wait too long," Qin Muye said immediately.
What Qian Jingtian said was indeed true. In making Qian Tu a wastrel, he had spared no effort. Whatever Qian Tu wanted, Qian Jingtian would provide, treating him more indulgently than his own son.
"Alright, since Qiufeng Tower is boring, how about we go drinking and gambling? A new place just opened in the west of the city, it seems quite interesting. Come, let's go and spend some money," Qian Jingtian pulled out a stack of silver bills from his pocket.
The scene almost left Qin Muye speechless. It was truly a case of guiding someone to do nothing good.
