Lü Wei, also a cultivator, possesses the cultivation level of mid-Postnatal stage. Achieving such a cultivation level at her age is indeed considered a commendable talent.

"Well, I'm indeed fine now, and in good condition. You're not new to our Qin family, so feel free to explore around by yourself," Qin An said calmly, with no intention of blaming Lü Wei. Whether others are close or indifferent to him is their freedom, which he cannot force.

Sensing Qin An's indifference, Lü Wei fell silent, with a hint of regret in her eyes.

"Qin An, your qi sea..." After Lü Wei left, Qin Yue walked with Qin An on the path and couldn't help but ask him, feeling very surprised by his earlier performance.

Since Qin An was injured, more than a few people in the family had said that his qi sea was ruined, and some even rumored that he might not even survive. But now, it seemed that Qin An had not only recovered from his injuries but also that his qi sea, crucial for cultivators, seemed unaffected.

Qin An smiled at Qin Yue, "Qin Yue, actually, when I was injured, my qi sea wasn't truly shattered. It was just too severely injured, causing the internal force in my qi sea to be unable to circulate. Now, I've almost recovered. Look..."

Saying this, Qin An surged a ball of internal force above his palm. Although the condensed internal force was hardly noticeable to the naked eye, the pressure it emitted was undeniable.

Qin Yue could sense that Qin An's internal force was not weaker than before his injury. "That's great," Qin Yue's eyes widened with joy. "Let's see those guys dare to gossip behind our backs again, huh." She had recently heard quite a bit of criticism about Qin An, which annoyed her but was helpless.

"Qin Yue, the clan leader wants to see me," Qin An said to Qin Yue as they approached the clan leader's courtyard.

"Okay, then you go first," Qin Yue's eyes curved into a crescent shape as she nodded gently.

In the Qin family compound, the ordinary courtyard buildings are usually simple one-story structures, but the clan leader's courtyard is a two-story building. The clan leader usually lives on the second floor, while the first floor is where he receives guests.

When Qin An entered the main hall, he found that not only was the clan leader Qin Changxing there, but also Qin Mingyuan, the father of Qin Yuan.

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

Qin Mingyuan manages the Qin family treasury and regularly reports to Qin Changxing on the allocation of cultivation resources. In a family like the Qin family, the monthly resource allocation for each family member is clearly stipulated.

Seeing Qin An enter, Qin Mingyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a sharp gleam flashed. He is not friendly to Qin An. He dared not provoke him when Qin An was a prodigy, but now it's different; Qin An has become a waste.

"Mingyuan, do you have anything else to say?" Qin Changxing first glanced at Qin An and then asked Qin Mingyuan calmly.

"Clan leader, seeing Qin An here, I suddenly remembered another matter," Qin Mingyuan said with a smile. "Now that Qin An's qi sea is ruined and he can't cultivate anymore, we don't need to allocate him any more cultivation resources. This way, we can save some resources for other potential members of the family."

Qin Changxing's face darkened. After all, Qin An was his grandson, and Qin Mingyuan's direct decision to cut off his allocation of cultivation resources in front of him was indeed excessive.

However, Qin Changxing was also in a dilemma and under great pressure, as there were several promising young members in the family. His decision to ask Qin An to move out of his current residence was made out of sheer necessity and coercion.

"Qin An, my proposal is quite suitable. You should consider the family's interests instead of just your own. Besides, you're not making use of the cultivation resources anyway," Qin Mingyuan smiled as he looked at Qin An.

"Oh, by the way, I actually think it's best for you to move to the West Courtyard. It's located in the center of the town, much more prosperous than the East Courtyard here. You'll find it much more convenient to go out on daily basis," Qin Mingyuan continued in a leisurely manner.

The West Courtyard he mentioned was also part of the Qin family's residence, but it was mostly inhabited by women and children, as well as ordinary Qin family members who lacked cultivation qualifications and were unable to condense their qi seas.

The atmosphere of the West Courtyard was naturally far inferior to that of the East Courtyard. Qin family members from the West Courtyard always felt inferior when they encountered those from the East Courtyard.

Qin An sneered inwardly and stared back at Qin Mingyuan. This old fox was clearly trying to drive him away.

"Manager Mingyuan, whether I deserve the cultivation resources or not is not up to you to decide, is it?" Qin An's words lacked respect for his elder, as he felt that Qin Mingyuan did not deserve it. Besides, Qin Mingyuan was only at the peak of the postnatal realm, and in terms of personal strength, Qin An was not much weaker than him. Therefore, after being bullied like this, he naturally wanted to fight back.

Qin Mingyuan was taken aback for a moment before flying into a rage. He couldn't believe that a junior dared to speak to him like that. Pointing at Qin An, he roared, "Qin An, how dare you disrespect your elders? Believe me or not, even if the clan leader were here, I would still enforce the clan rules to punish you!" Saying that, Qin Mingyuan's qi condensed, and his face darkened, looking ready to take action.
