"Hao'er?!"

Qin Tian and Yun Xi Yue looked at each other in shock.

Their son, Qin Feng, had just showcased his remarkable abilities, displaying combat prowess beyond that of any other eight-year-old child.

On the other hand, although Qin Hao did possess the one-in-a-million Sovereign Bones, it was still dormant, and his combat ability was still unknown.

As such—

Lin Hao simply smiled, with no intention of explaining himself.

The reason why he had chosen Qin Hao wasn't based on a mere whim; it was a choice he had made after careful consideration.

Everyone knew that Qin Feng and Qin Hao were twins, and it was unlikely that their potential would greatly differ from each other.

From the speed at which the elder brother Qin Feng had progressed in his cultivation, it was evident that his younger brother, Qin Hao, could surpass it easily, indicating that he had a higher potential than his elder brother.

Moreover, knowing that both brothers had been nurtured in the same environment and received the same education, it was only natural for him to lean towards the younger brother that had the Sovereign Bones.

However, the most significant factor was the rumours that had spread throughout Huang Gu. It was said that the emergence of the demonic blood moon eight years ago was somehow connected to Qin Feng, a matter that deeply affected the hearts of the Great Xia Royal family.

The risks associated with investing in Qin Feng were simply too high, making it a far safer choice to invest in the younger brother, Qin Hao.

If anything were to happen to the Qin family one day, Qin Hao would have no choice but to align his goals with their Heaven Heart City.

"Alright!"

Qin Tian didn't inquire further. In his mind, he had already achieved his goal of establishing an engagement alliance.

Should rulers of the eastern and western regions of Great Xia join forces, even the alliance between the Great Xia Royal family and the other prominent families would need to tread carefully. As long as they could buy enough time for the two kids to develop, the Qin family would emerge victorious.

Reaching a tacit understanding with the parents of both sides, the engagement alliance was confirmed.

However, the two kids directly involved in this alliance remained oblivious. Lin Xin'er was currently playing in the Qin family's city, accompanied by the two brothers and Lin San.

"Why do I feel like my life is in danger at any moment?!"

As the fated great villain, Qin Feng found himself in the company of two Epic-grade Chosen Ones. Even within the Qin family's city, protected by millions of their clan's guards, he couldn't shake off his sense of unease.

He was worried that their halos would activate simultaneously and send off the entire family together.

"Wah, how lively!"

Lin Xin'er couldn't contain her excitement as they arrived at the bustling market in the Qin family's city.

This was a market for cultivators, different from the markets where food was sold. A wide array of treasures, such as fairy grass, medicinal pills, and artifacts, were on display here.

As the absolute ruler of the eastern region, the security of the Qin family's city was beyond question.

There were large numbers of cultivators who flocked into the city for trade, and the Qin family actively promoted this commerce to strengthen their disciples, ultimately fostering a thriving trade market.

"Eh!!"

Qin Hao and Lin San's eyes lit up at the same time, their gaze fixated on a small, broken cauldron.

"Eh!!"

Qin Feng was instantly alert as if he had just stumbled upon another cheat.

Rather than worrying about being killed off because of these two Chosen Ones, he could use them as exceptionally lucky treasure detectors. He was willing to bet that the broken cauldron that had captured the attention of both Chosen Ones simultaneously was no ordinary item.

"I saw it first!"

"I saw it first!"

Lin San and Qin Hao glared at each other, both unwilling to give up the little cauldron.

However, just as they were about to bicker, Qin Feng slipped through and began asking about the price from the seller.

"It was originally 1,000 spirit stones. If it's for the young master, how about 888 spirit stones?!"

The seller carefully proposed the price, not forgetting to check Qin Feng's expression, ready to lower the price immediately if even the slightest frown appeared on Qin Feng's face.

He didn't have a choice!

As the big boss of this area, how could he possibly not give face to the Qin family?!

"888 spirit stones?!"

All of the cultivators passing by stopped in their tracks, exclaiming that the seller must've lost his mind due to greed.

It was important to note that one spirit stone was enough money for an ordinary person to live their entire life without worrying about food. For a cultivator, absorbing a spirit stone was equivalent to a week of painstaking cultivation. And now, a broken little cauldron was actually priced at 888 spirit stones.

The seller started sweating.

He didn't intend to rip off Qin Feng, but he had no choice considering the unusual origin of this broken little cauldron.

Originally, he was a small-time thug from the Tiger Head Gang, which boasted over 100,000 members. One day, the gang leader had found out about the location of a ruin and brought the entire gang to explore it.

And after paying the price of the lives of more than one hundred thousand gang members, they had finally reached the depths of the ruins.

But what awaited them wasn't the sight of treasures; instead, they were greeted by a broken small cauldron resting on a stone pedestal.

The gang leader instantly coughed out a mouthful of blood and died, perhaps because of the grave injuries he had sustained. And as a result, the seller had somehow become the sole survivor.

For a small broken cauldron that was obtained with the lives of more than a hundred thousand gang members, 888 spirit stones were already considered to be dirt cheap.

"Alright, I'll pay the 888 spirit stones!"

Not wanting to incur any problems or delays, Qin Feng had the seller collect payment from the Qin family.

As the great young master of the first family in Huang Gu, it was perfectly logical for him to be out without any money.

"Many thanks to the great young master!"

The seller expressed his gratitude, brimming with joy, as he quickly handed over the small cauldron to Qin Feng.

Lin San was dumbfounded, completely stunned by Qin Feng's extravagant behaviour.

He didn't bother to examine the item, and he didn't even try to bargain. Instead, he simply paid the exorbitant price of 888 spirit stones.

Even if he had money, did it mean he could be so willful?!

However, Lin San didn't know why he felt as though he had been robbed, even though he had no idea what the little cauldron was. His instincts were telling him that it was a valuable item, and these very instincts had guided him to his remarkable achievements.

"Ding dong! Congratulations to Master for breaking the Chosen One's serendipity. You have obtained a raffle ticket!"

"So this really was a treasure!"

Qin Feng carefully inspected the small caldron in his hands, yet he couldn't discern anything extraordinary about it.

Fuck!

'What's with this unfair treatment?!'

'Why could the protagonists recognise it as a treasure, but in his hands, he could only see a broken little caldron?'

He isn't happy! The villain isn't happy!!

"Brother, brother, can you give it to me?!"

Qin Hao started to shake Qin Feng's hand and employed his cutest act in an attempt to persuade Qin Feng to give him the little cauldron.

However, Qin Feng was not one to be swayed by such tactics. He would only relent if he had a younger sister doing this.

Nevertheless, he really couldn't find anything remarkable about this broken little cauldron. Perhaps it would be more fitting to let his younger brother, a Chosen One, activate it.

"Alright!"

He spoke seriously, "I bought this broken little cauldron with 888 spirit stones just now. As your brother, I'll cover two of the 8s, and as long as you pay the remaining 8, I'll let you play with it for a few days, okay?!"

"Brother, you're the best!!"

Lin Hao obviously didn't understand the scam, and he happily took out a cloth bag.

It was a storage bag that cultivators used, containing the red packet money he had saved throughout the years. Qin Feng had coveted it for a very long time.

Quickly—

Under the influence of Qin Feng's scheme, Qin Hao took out an 8, which was equivalent to 800 spirit stones.

"Eh........."

The surrounding passersby were all left dumbfounded, too stunned to speak. Even someone with the most basic level of education wouldn't fall victim to such an obvious scam......
