"Go back? Go back to the Imperial Gates?"

"Three years ago, because Eric Qin was a martial arts genius, he was appointed as the heir. Then because of his dissatisfaction, he expelled me from the Imperial Gates. Now you want to ask me to go back, are you kidding me?"

Jason Qin hugged a box and looked at the woman in front of him indifferently.

"Third Young Master, it's been three years, and your anger should have dissipated. Come back with me! Imperial Gates needs you!"

"The sect master is missing now, and the young master is trapped in the forbidden area, and his life and death are unknown. Now only you can hold the great seal of the Imperial Gates!"

The woman persuaded earnestly.

"Three years, I entered the Liu Clan and suffered all kinds of humiliation. When did the Imperial Gates remember me? Now that there is no one in the Imperial Gates, they think of me and take me for something, a dog?"

"Now I just want to be a quiet son-in-law. It has nothing to Imperial Gates with me!"

Jason Qin turned around and left without giving the woman a chance to say a word.

Walking on the road, Jason Qin sneered in his heart. His father is not doing business; his half-brother Eric Qin, although talented, is too ambitious, but his strength and brains are not enough to support his ambition. Today's scene was as early as he expected!

Imperial Gates has been brilliant for millions of years, maybe it will be destroyed in this world!

However, this has nothing to do with him. He is not the young master of the Imperial Gates, but the son-in-law of the Liu Clan, a useless son-in-law who cannot cultivate.

The Liu Clan, one of the four major families in Green Maple City, makes a living by doing business. Three years ago, when Jason Qin was homeless and living on the streets, he was the old head of the Liu Clan and tried his best to recruit him as his wife.

At that time, there was a sensation in the entire Green Maple City, everyone knew that the daughter of the Liu Clan married a waste who could not cultivate.

Then, as the only Patriarch Liu who knew Jason Qin's details suddenly died in battle, Jason Qin's status as a waste was also confirmed. It also caused Jason Qin to suffer ridicule and stare at Liu Clan for three years. However, compared to Imperial Gates's abandonment, the Liu Clan's eyes are nothing.

Today is the Liu Clan's celebration, to celebrate the head of the Liu Clan successful breakthrough as a general and becoming the fifth strong general in Green Maple City.

Jason Qin just went to pick out a congratulatory gift, and he was lucky, so he missed a good thing.

Back at Liu Clan, at the gate of the luxurious and magnificent mansion, a woman who is as beautiful as a fairy stands there, with a cold and indifferent appearance.

Seeing this woman, the corners of Jason Qin mouth rose slightly. This is his wife Olivia Liu. The well-known gifted girl of the Liu Clan was in the prime of her life, but she was married to him by the old master's decree.

"Olivia, I kept you waiting!"Jason Qin stepped forward and said with a smile on his face.

"Is the congratulatory gift ready?"Olivia Liu asked in a cold tone.

Jason Qin leaned in front of Olivia Liu and said with a smile, "Ready!"

Olivia Liu took a step back and distanced herself from Jason Qin. There was no closeness between husband and wife at all, and instead she looked disgusted. She didn't understand why her great-grandfather married her to Jason Qin in the first place.

She is a genius of the Liu Clan. She broke through as a warrior at a young age and became a warrior. And Jason Qin is just a trash who is difficult to cultivate, how can he be worthy of her.

Although my great-grandfather always said that Jason Qin was a hidden dragon, but after more than three years, she didn't see it at all. If it wasn't for her grandfather's last wish, she would have divorced Jason Qin long ago.

"Don't get me into trouble for a while!"

Olivia Liu glanced at Jason Qin lightly, and said in an orderly tone. It's not the first time I saw this attitude and tone!

"no problem!"

Jason Qin nodded, and responded softly, he has long been accustomed to Olivia Liu's attitude, and has no dissatisfaction.

He knew very well how much pressure he had brought to Olivia Liu by marrying Olivia Liu as a trash who couldn't cultivate. How much white eyes Olivia Liu has suffered, all because of him, what right does he have to be dissatisfied.

Without saying much, the two walked into the Liu Clan. The Liu Clan was very lively on this day, and all the children of the Liu Clan gathered on this day to congratulate the head of the family.

Olivia Liu is cold by nature and not easy to deal with people. In addition, because of his father, he has been excluded by the Liu Clan, so no one talks to him all the way. As for Jason Qin, maybe no one will talk to him, a son-in-law who can't cultivate!

The two came late, and when they entered the lobby, the banquet had already started.

Everyone was congratulating the old man one after another, but their arrival did not attract any attention. The two of them didn't say anything, they quietly lined up behind the gift-giving line, ready to follow along to offer gifts and congratulations.

"Jason Qin, this trash, who let you in!"

A discordant voice suddenly came to Jason Qin ears. Only then did Jason Qin notice that the person in front of them was Olivia Liu's cousin Luna Liu.

This person has good talent and excellent looks. Although he is not as good as Olivia Liu, he is still a beauty. It's just that his personality is quite different. He always likes to trouble Jason Qin, and every time he sees him, he will definitely make things difficult and humiliate him.

"I'm here to congratulate Grandpa!"

Jason Qin said calmly, he was not angry at Luna Liu's ridicule, he seemed to have gotten used to it.

"Congratulations? Grandpa sees you as a waste, it's not bad if you don't disappoint! If you are sensible, get out quickly, or it will be ugly to be kicked out by then!"

Luna Liu raised her eyebrows, sneered, pointed at Jason Qin directly, and said in an unusually arrogant tone, not giving Jason Qin any face.

Jason Qin smiled and didn't speak, because Olivia Liu had warned him before he came in and didn't want him to cause trouble.

"Throw it out, I'm afraid my cousin doesn't have the ability!"

Olivia Liu frowned, and said something coldly. Jason Qin is also her husband no matter what, so it's fine to insult him casually. If he wants to drive him out, is this slapping her in the face of Olivia Liu!

Although she does not like to fight with others by nature, she has never been a weak person.

Luna Liu glanced at Olivia Liu unexpectedly, and never expected that Olivia Liu, who never spoke up for Jason Qin , would actually stand up for Jason Qin. Not to mention Luna Liu, even Jason Qin was a little surprised, this should be the first time Olivia Liu spoke for him!

Luna Liu stared, and was about to push back, but found that it was her turn to offer a gift, so she gave Jason Qin a vicious look, and slowly walked up the high platform.

"Grandpa, this is a congratulatory gift for you, a piece of blood essence from a Third-stage Life Beast, please check it!"

With a flattering smile, Luna Liu held a jade bottle in both hands, and said respectfully to the red-faced old man.

"What? The blood essence of the Third-stage Life Beast! This gift is too expensive!"

"The blood essence of the Third-stage Life Beast is a treasure that can prolong life!"

"Grandpa just broke through as a general. The blood essence of this Third-stage Life Beast can just be used to stabilize the realm. It's really timely!"

As soon as Luna Liu finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent, followed by exclamations of surprise.

Everyone looked at the jade bottle in Luna Liu's hand in shock, with fiery eyes. It seemed that even through the jade bottle, one could feel the terrifying energy contained in the blood essence.

"That's right, that's right, Xiaoyue has a heart, it must be hard to find this one!"

Even the old man was no exception, his eyes were full of satisfaction, and he couldn't help but praise.

"As long as grandpa is satisfied, all the effort is worth it!" Hearing the old man's praise, Luna Liu immediately smiled.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Mr. Liu stroked his beard with one hand, and laughed heartily, his small eyes narrowed into a crack.

"Olivia, I don't know what gift you prepared for grandpa this time? It should be more precious than my Third-stage Life Beast Essence and Blood. After all, you are a well-known genius in my Liu Clan. You will never use some rags to perfuse the old man Bar!"

Listening to the compliments from people around and grandpa, although Luna Liu was elated for a while, she did not forget what Olivia Liu said just now. With a cold smile in his heart, he turned to look at Olivia Liu and said loudly.

Following Luna Liu's words, everyone's eyes fell on Olivia Liu.

Olivia Liu face changed. Although she is a genius, it doesn't mean she has a lot of resources. Moreover, all the resources in her hands were used for cultivation, which made her not rich.

For this congratulatory gift, she casually gave Jason Qin some spirit stones, and asked Jason Qin to buy them, which was not a good thing after all.

If it is normal to offer it together with everyone, it will be fine. However, after Luna Liu presented such valuables, she looked a bit shabby when she took out her things.

But so far, there is no time to replace it.

Just when Olivia Liu was about to take the box from Jason Qin and present it. Jason Qin stepped forward first, and presented the congratulatory gift.

"Grandpa, this is a congratulatory gift for you!"Jason Qin held the box in both hands and said respectfully.

"Olivia Liu, you are not mistaken, are you sure this is a congratulatory gift for grandpa!"

Luna Liu pointed at the broken box in Jason Qin hand, and said in a strange way. She had seen the broken box in Jason Qin hand a long time ago, and knew about Olivia Liu's situation, so she deliberately mentioned Olivia Liu at this time, just to see her make a fool of herself!

"That's right!"Jason Qin nodded.

After hearing this, Luna Liu snatched the box from Jason Qin's hand and opened it directly. When she saw the contents in the box, Luna Liu expression changed several times, and she finally pointed at the contents and laughed.

"A broken bowl, Jason Qin, are you going to give this broken bowl to grandpa as a gift?"

Luna Liu took back the contents of the box, held it high in her hand, and said loudly.

Looking at the box in Luna Liu's hand, everyone burst into laughter. It turned out to be a bowl, or a broken bowl with missing corners and cracks. Someone actually took this broken bowl as a congratulatory gift, this is really....

"To me, it looks like the broken bowl used by the beggar in the west of the city!"

Suddenly there was a low murmur, and everyone present laughed, and all of them looked extremely strange.

Don't say it, it really looks like it!

Hearing this, the face of the old man on the stage darkened instantly, he looked at Jason Qin angrily, and asked loudly,

"Jason Qin, what do you mean?"

When Luna Liu took out the broken bowl, Olivia Liu face turned pale. When hearing her grandfather's questioning, Olivia Liu almost fainted. It was the first time in her life that she was so embarrassing, she wished she could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

"Grandpa, it's none of Jason Qin's business, I bought it, sorry!"

Seeing the old man's questioning, Olivia Liu gritted her teeth, stood in front of Jason Qin, and took the responsibility directly on herself.

In her opinion, it's not Jason Qin fault, it's because she didn't put her heart into it and didn't buy it by herself. Jason Qin is just an ordinary person, how can he know what is good or bad! Besides, it fell on her, at most it was a shame and made grandpa angry. If it fell on Jason Qin, he might suffer some crimes.

After all, Jason Qin is her nominal husband, even though she doesn't like it, she doesn't want anything to happen to him!

Olivia Liu's protection made Jason Qin stunned for a moment, and then his heart warmed up, and a smile could not help but hang on the corner of his mouth.

"Olivia, you let me down so much! Go to Houshan tomorrow and think about the past!"

When Mr. Liu heard Olivia Liu's words, his beard was shaking with anger. Immediately with a big wave of his hand, he took the broken bowl in Luna Liu's hand and threw it on the ground.
