Looking at Zhunti, Jieyin, and the three Saints, including Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning.
Qin Hong had an idea.
He touched his small hands, his eyes blinking as he came before Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning, speaking in a soft, sweet voice.
"Second Uncle..."
The long, drawn-out sound was enough to melt anyone's heart.
But who was Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning? Having just been "trained" by Qin Hong, he felt a sudden tightness in his chest when facing the current Qin Hong.
"What is it now?" Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning said irritably, his tone distant. He even flicked his long sleeves, as if afraid of getting involved with Qin Hong.
"I can manage my own disciples, you don't need to worry about it!" The current Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning was like a mouse seeing a cat, completely at Qin Hong's mercy.
"Second Uncle, I'm just afraid you'll lose face. We can't have your reputation tarnished because of a few useless people."
With that, Qin Hong rubbed his small hands together and said sweetly:
"Uh, Second Uncle, this is the first time I'm meeting you today, so don't you have... don't you have any meeting gifts?"
All the Saints (WTF)!!!
While the Saints were still shocked by Qin Hong's actions.
Qin Hong had already extended his fair, plump little hands towards Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning.
His eyes sparkled, staring at Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning with a dazzling intensity, like a debt collector.
No matter the era, elders always gave gifts to juniors when meeting them, otherwise, it would be considered impolite.
Since the Three Pure Ones were brothers, and as the son of Sect Master Tongtian, both Heavenly Lord of Morality and Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning were Qin Hong's direct elder uncles. Qin Hong asking for meeting gifts was perfectly reasonable.
But Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning didn't think so!
"Little brat... you!" He gritted his teeth for a long time, and to avoid scolding himself, Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning only managed to utter one word.
Where did this shameless little thing learn this thick skin from?
He just scolded himself, and now he wants a meeting gift? How can his face be so big? How can his heart be so big? Isn't he afraid I'll slap him to death?
This level of shamelessness was beyond even those two progenitors from the West.
This is truly an inauspicious situation.
He never expected that Sect Master Tongtian, with his stern appearance, would have such a son. Utterly shameless.
In an instant, Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning mentally cursed Qin Hong and Sect Master Tongtian extensively, almost including Pangu, the Father God, as well.
However, regardless of his unwillingness, he couldn't avoid giving the meeting gift.
After all, his identity as a direct elder uncle was undeniable. If he didn't give it, wouldn't he lose face?
Who told him he was the elder???
Thinking this, despite his extreme reluctance, Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning gritted his teeth and made a gesture with his hand.
In the blink of an eye, a sword of decent quality appeared in Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning's previously empty hand. He casually tossed it to Qin Hong:
"Hold it carefully, don't hurt yourself."
Taking the sword from Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning, Qin Hong examined it carefully. Hmm, a Postnatal Supreme Treasure. The blade was like water, constantly emitting a cold glint. For an ordinary cultivator, this would definitely be a treasured possession.
But to Qin Hong, what use was this thing? It was practically useless, no, worse than useless, it was complete garbage!
His father was Sect Master Tongtian, who would give something better than this trash sword to Duobao. How could he, Qin Hong, be any worse?
Frowning, Qin Hong muttered to himself:
"Tsk tsk tsk, Second Uncle is disregarding the rules and treating his nephew like an outsider!"
"I am the legitimate descendant of Pangu, the only direct descendant of the Three Pure Ones, and the future inheritor of their legacy. Second Uncle's meeting gift is just a Postnatal Supreme Treasure?"
"This is really unacceptable!"
"You...!"
Seeing that Qin Hong was still not satisfied after receiving the gift, Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning's face turned frosty.
How utterly shameless!
It's a Postnatal Supreme Treasure! And he's still not satisfied?
Inheritor of the legacy? How can your face be so big?
Immediately, Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning waved his sleeve.
"Take it or leave it!" Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning was uncharacteristically being difficult.
However, Qin Hong was unfazed. Instead, he acted as if he was afraid Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning would go back on his word, nodding inexplicably.
He then trotted over to Sect Master Tongtian.
Seeing Qin Hong leave, Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning breathed a sigh of relief. However, Qin Hong's next words made Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning exclaim, "Just be a decent human!"
"Father."
Sect Master Tongtian looked at his precious son, his eyes full of affection.
"What is it, Hong'er?"
"Father, this is the first gift from Second Uncle. I must remember his kindness. I hope you can use your divine powers to engrave 'Gifted by Saint Yuanshi to his nephew' on this sword."
"This way, when I travel the Primordial Era in the future and someone tries to bully me, I can just show them this sword from Second Uncle."
"Then, let's see who dares to touch me then. With Second Uncle's reputation, hehe!"
Pfft... pfft... pfft
After hearing Qin Hong's words, the surrounding Saints couldn't help but laugh.
The Saints (I'm speechless, this is a heart-wrenching move!)
Although Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning knew it was a trap, he didn't expect it to be used like this.
If Sect Master Tongtian really engraved "Gifted by Saint Yuanshi to his nephew" on it, he feared he would lose all face.
By then, the entire Primordial Era would know that Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning was petty, stingy as a ghost, and gave his own nephew a piece of junk as a meeting gift.
This was...
Zhunti and Jieyin, standing nearby, felt even more so. This was truly malicious, a blatant scheme that was impossible to refute. They knew it was a trap, but they had to fall into it.
Sect Master Tongtian also knew Qin Hong's intentions, but this was his son, and he would support him no matter what.
Immediately, Sect Master Tongtian took the precious sword and said with a smile, "Alright, your father will now..."
"Wait a moment!"
A loud shout stopped Sect Master Tongtian.
Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning had fallen into the trap. He shot Qin Hong a fierce glance and said with a fake smile:
"Tongtian, it was just a game, don't take it seriously. This is the treasure I prepared for my nephew."
With that, Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning reached into his robes and took out a Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, handing it to Qin Hong.
It was a fan, its surface shimmering with light, and occasionally emitting waves of intense heat.
"This is the Sky Burning Fan, a low-grade spiritual treasure. It contains the four innate powers: the fire element from the four elements of earth, fire, water, and wind. Are you satisfied now?" Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning said with heartache.
Seeing the fan shrink as it came into his hand, Qin Hong was happy in his heart, but his face remained impassive, with even a hint of tears brewing.
"Second Uncle, I am the sole successor of the Three Pure Ones! The future reputation of the Three Pure Ones rests on me. You're giving me only a Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure? That's too stingy!"
"It's not like you don't have top-tier items. What are you keeping them for? Can they even reproduce?"
Hearing Qin Hong's words, Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning's barely calmed mood shattered again.
"You...!"
He had just been scolded, and then shamelessly given away a Postnatal Supreme Treasure and a Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. What's more, instead of getting praised, he was labeled as stingy?
It was infuriating!
Immediately, Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning threw all pretense of dignity and grace aside.
"Do you want it or not? If not, give it back to me."
"How can you take back something you've already given away?"
Qin Hong directly put the Sky Burning Fan into his embrace.
"Although this item doesn't quite match your status, it's passable. Barely acceptable!"
"You..."
