Qin Ran, Qin Yan's cousin, is the most promising son of the Qin family who is now the younger generation and is also the most likely to obtain the inheritance of Shantang.

Regarding this person, Qin Yan had already mentioned it to Xia Sheng as early as in Yanyulou.

But Xia Sheng never expected that he would meet this young master of the Qin family so soon.

But if you think about it carefully, this scene is just like Qin Ran’s name, and it is a matter of course.

Since the Qin family has changed their attitude towards Xia Sheng like Mrs. Ye, who else can they send to ease the relationship with Xia Sheng?

As a polite ceremonial hall, Wei Zhiyuan is already the most powerful person in Luoyang Hall. Who is more qualified to show kindness to Xia Sheng on behalf of the Qin family?

Of course, Qin Xiaohua would not come condescendingly, so the only possibility is Qin Ran.

However, after a second thought, Xia Sheng had already figured out the key here, and smiled and said, "It turns out that he is the eldest son of the Qin family. I have heard of the name for a long time, but I am so embarrassed."

As the saying goes, if you don’t hit someone with a smile, from Qin Ran’s every move, Xia Sheng can already determine that the other party must have verified the authenticity of the Shan copybook. Otherwise, it would be impossible to be so polite to him, and even let Qin Ran come to receive him.

This is undoubtedly great news for Xia Sheng, and he had a great conversation with Qin Ran for a while.

After a while of leisure, Qin Ran turned the topic to the point.

"About Lord Lingzun's whereabouts, the family has sent additional personnel to investigate. According to the clues provided by Brother Xia, the two thieves are likely to be traitors who infiltrated our Dajin border. For this reason, we did capture three demons, but unfortunately the three of them are still far away from Baima Town and have no time to commit the crime."

"And these three people are all men, and they live alone all year round. They have neither female companions nor have they seen Lord Ling Zun when they were arrested..."

Xia Sheng couldn't help but interrupt, "Can I let me meet them? Maybe, I can recognize them!"

Qin Ran smiled bitterly and shook his head: "To be honest, during the entire arrest, a demon clan member died on the spot, with no bones left, and other news was leaked, so before the person was sent to the capital, the ruling department intercepted the ruling department. The remaining two demon clan members should be locked in the black prison of the ruling department."

Looking at the uncertain expression on Xia Sheng's face, Qin Ran quickly added: "However, as I said before, the possibility of the remaining two people being the murderers of the robbery is very low, so I hope Brother Xia will give us some more time and we can..."

Xia Sheng waved his hand, looked at Qin Ran solemnly, and said, "No matter what, I still hope to see those two people with my own eyes. I wonder if you can communicate with the Judgment Office, even if you can only take a look from a distance."

"This..." Xia Sheng's persistence was beyond Qin Ran's expectations. After a while, he could only nod in embarrassment: "Since that's the case, we can try to negotiate with the Judgment Office, but I can't guarantee the final result."

Xia Sheng sighed: "I know, but no matter what, I hope you can do your best!"

"Of course."

Qin Ran crossed his hands in front of him and said with shame: "There is only so much news for the time being. If Brother Xia wants to wait for further progress, he may have to stay in Luoyang for a few more days."

It is obvious that Qin Ran himself knew that his few words and low-value information would definitely not satisfy Xia Sheng, so he immediately added: "In addition, if Brother Xia has any other needs, as long as it is within the ability of my Shantang, it will definitely help you complete it."

Upon hearing this, Xia Sheng couldn't help but tease, "Why, don't you need a second copybook?"

Qin Ran laughed: "That was a joke between Wei Gongfeng and Brother Xia. You are now a distinguished guest of my Shantang. As long as you don't have a particularly excessive request, we will definitely try our best to satisfy it."

Xia Sheng nodded, suddenly remembered something in his heart, and immediately spoke: "Since that's the case, I wonder if Mr. Qin can help me choose a general-level spirit beast in your Jiuguang Temple?"

Qin Ran looked slightly stunned. It was not that Xia Sheng's request exceeded Shantang's ability, but because this requirement was too simple.

So he made the decision and said, "This is a small matter. Since Brother Xia still lacks a general-level spirit beast, why not go to Jiuguang Temple with me to choose."

Xia Sheng hesitated for a moment. Although he had already made a choice in advance, since the other party invited him warmly, he naturally would not refuse. After all, being able to personally confirm the status and potential of the spirit beast was something he could not ask for.

"Okay, then I'll be helping Mr. Qin lead the way."

Qin Ran was really unambiguous. He said that he would take Xia Sheng to take the spirit beast himself, so he immediately stood up and led Xia Sheng out of the inner hall.

Fortunately, the Jiuguang Temple is not far from here, and it is even in Luoyang City, so the two of them came to the gate of the Jiuguang Temple in just one quarter of an hour.

Speaking of Jiuguang Temple, it is actually a famous scenic spot in the capital. However, except for the Qin family, no one else would go in and visit, even within a hundred feet of the gate, they would be expelled from the people in the Shantang.

After all, the ones raised here are real spiritual beasts!

Cultivation is higher than life and death. For a spiritual practitioner, his natal spiritual object is therefore his second life, and his value is naturally not necessary to elaborate on it.

For the five major families in Luoyang City, not all have a place to raise spiritual beasts like Jiuguang Temple. For example, the Weining Marquis Mansion, which is famous for its martial arts, has never taken charge of similar places. In comparison, there are many collections of martial arts and magic weapons.

The reason why Xia Sheng asked to come to Jiuguang Temple today was of course not to choose spiritual beasts for himself. To put it bluntly, even if he had been to Jiuguang Temple before, it could be foreseen that there would never be any rare treasures hidden in it. At most, it would be nice to have some cubs with higher potential.

In addition to Xia Sheng's own high vision, there is another very important reason, that is, the third spiritual object he selected must at least be able to compete with Qiongsang and Mingshaqi!

Otherwise, wouldn’t you be swallowed by the Mingsha Banner in minutes?

I won’t say much about Qiongsang, that is the legendary tree of life. As for the Nether Evil Flag, as the treasure of the Judgment, how weak can a powerful man be at the bottom of his box?

Therefore, Xia Sheng mainly hopes to choose a suitable spiritual beast for Qin Yan during this trip.

It's a bit ironic to say that Qin Yan herself is being made difficult for everyone as a lady in Shantang, and she can't even choose a spirit beast. Instead, she has to rely on Xia Sheng, a "outsider", to help her. I don't know what Qin Xiaohua would feel when she learned about this.

But when Qin Ran led Xia Sheng into the gate of Jiuguang Temple, Xia Sheng couldn't help but feel sank.

Because he knew that things today would not go as smoothly as he imagined.

There were two people standing in front of him, one of which Xia Sheng didn't know, but if it was expected, it should be Qin Yan's third uncle, Qin Ze, who was in charge of the distribution of Qin's spiritual objects.

But the other one, Xia Sheng looked very familiar. It was Wei Zhiyuan, who was responsible for receiving him last time!
