Translator: Silavin “I…” When Qin Yichen asked, the old man hemmed and hawed, unable to explain clearly, as if reluctant to speak. “Did someone bully you, Grandfather? Come, let your Grandson go teach them a lesson!” Qin Yichen seemed to understand something and pulled the old man outside. In truth, he knew his Grandfather had no particular hobbies except caring about face. Back then, even when the Qin Family had fallen so low, they still hired guards to stand outside the door to maintain appearances. When old friends meet, they would inevitably compare themselves to each other. “That old fool is truly infuriating. When I said my GGrandson was you, not only did he not believe me, he even insulted me!” The old man felt indignant just bringing it up. From the old man’s words, Qin Yichen learned that his old friend had done quite well for himself in another kingdom in the Northern Region. He was flourishing there. This time he came back specifically to show off to his old friends in the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty. When the old man mentioned his Grandson was Qin Yichen, his old friend completely refused to believe it. After all, the name ‘Qin Yichen’ was now well-known to the people. However, what the Qin Family was before, they still remained the same as now, with only the old man moving into the Royal Palace. If Qin Yichen really came from his Qin Family, how could they still be so down and out now? It was only natural that his old friend did not believe it, and thus he had severely mocked the old man, which was why the old man had appeared angry when he returned to the Royal Palace. Qin Yichen could understand an elderly person having some vanity. There was nothing wrong with that. Arriving at where the old man’s old friend was staying, there was major construction happening there. At the entrance stood four guards wearing armour, all appearing rather extraordinary. It seemed the old man’s friend had indeed done well for himself. At least, this display of power would be considered top-tier in the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty. In the main hall, Qin Yichen met the old man’s so-called old friend. Looking to be in his sixties or seventies, he appeared quite wealthy, and in his arms he held a woman in her twenties, shamelessly displaying their affection. “You’re Qin Yichen?” The wealthy old man glanced at Qin Yichen sideways, his words clearly carrying a mocking tone. Qin Yichen’s clothes were very ordinary, not like those wealthy people who wore gold and silver, with smooth and luxurious attire. What he wore was made by Du Binglan herself. “That’s right.” Qin Yichen nodded, but his brows furrowed slightly, clearly showing no goodwill towards this old man. There was a fundamental difference between his Grandfather and this person. Though his Grandfather was somewhat vain, he definitely had a line and did not mock others. But this old man seemed to go out of his way to display his superiority in front of his supposed ‘friends’. [Powerful guards, young beauties…] In Qin Yichen’s view, it was unbearably vulgar. “Haha…” After Qin Yichen nodded, the wealthy old man burst out laughing, saying to the beauty beside him, “Did you hear that? He says he’s Qin Yichen, hahaha…” “Giggle This humble lady pays respects to Master Qin…” The beauty beside him also spoke with a sarcastic tone. Obviously, they did not believe him at all. How could Qin Yichen possibly be such an ordinary person?! “Master Qin, we actually came back this time hoping to cooperate with the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce. I wonder if Master Qin could help facilitate this?” The woman continued speaking, clearly wanting to see Qin Yichen make a fool of himself. Qin Yichen’s Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce was known to everyone in the Thousand Mist Empire. If one could establish even the slightest connection with the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce, they would certainly become wealthy in a single step. “Come here.” Qin Yichen looked at them calmly, then beckoned to one of the guards at the door, taking out a Jade Pendant and handing it to him, saying, “Go to the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce and ask the manager inside to come here.” The guard was clearly stunned. The Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce was not somewhere anyone could enter nowadays. His Master had returned to the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty the day before yesterday and tried to discuss some business at the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce yesterday, but could not even get through the door! [Could this thing in my hand really get me into the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce? What more, even bring the manager here?] “Go on, what are you standing there for? Didn’t you see Master Qin Yichen give an order?” Seeing the guard standing there stunned, the wealthy old man urged, emphasizing the words ‘Qin Yichen’ particularly heavily, his mocking tone very thick. The guard acknowledged and left. After the Old Patriarch sat down, Qin Yichen sat beside him. “My goodness, I never thought my old friend would have such ability, actually getting Qin Yichen to come meet me, I truly admire you, truly admire…” The wealthy old man said to Qin Baihe, his tone making Qin Yichen frown. [Many people change with time. Grandfather had said that when this wealthy old man was in trouble before, having offended the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty Nobles, it was he who lent him money and helped him leave the city. Yet, now, look at him. After making a fortune outside, instead of showing gratitude, he came back to flaunt his wealth in various ways to my Grandfather!] [Despicable! Truly despicable!] [When they need something from you, they call you Brother and act subservient. But once they become successful, gratitude is forgotten.] “Grandfather, let’s not bother with him.” When the old man was about to lose his temper, Qin Yichen stopped him. If it were not for wanting to get justice for his Grandfather, Qin Yichen would not want to stay here for even a second. “Master, Master…” Soon, the guard who had taken the Jade Pendant returned, covered in sweat and panting heavily. “What? Got thrown out?” The wealthy old man seemed to have already anticipated seeing the embarrassed expressions on Qin Baihe and Qin Yichen’s faces, the mockery on his face growing stronger. However, he was surprised to find that the old man showed no embarrassment, and Qin Yichen was even more at ease, happily chatting with his Grandfather. “No, no…” The guard did not know why, but spoke so excitedly he stammered. Finally, seeming to gather his courage, he shouted, “Master, the manager of the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce is already outside…” “Oh, they’re here?” The wealthy old man responded casually, then suddenly realised what was said and stared with wide eyes, asking, “Who did you say, who’s outside?” “Master, it’s the manager of the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce!” The guard wiped the sweat from his face as he answered. He had not expected that the unremarkable Jade Pendant in his hand would have such power. The guards at the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce’s entrance, who had previously dismissed him, saw the Jade Pendant and without another word treated him as an honoured guest, letting him in, and he even met the manager. When the manager heard Qin Yichen was looking for him, he came directly with him. “What!?” The wealthy old man suddenly stood up, kicking the guard, “What are you still standing there for, hurry and invite the manager in!” “Oh, yes…” As the guard was about to retreat, the wealthy old man felt it was not right, “No, I should personally go and welcome them.”
