After a sigh, Darren Hall suddenly changed the subject and said, "My Hall family is small, and we have always been loyal to the emperor of the empire. Boy, do you understand?"

Qin Bin nodded, "Garcia and Clark check and balance each other, and neither can suppress the other. If Hall, a third party who can influence the scales, intervenes, His Majesty will probably be unhappy."

"Hehe...keep going."

"However, Sophia is the only one of Hall's generation, and Sophia is at the right age to get married. Your Majesty certainly hopes to see a closer relationship between the royal family and Hall. I don't know what Grandpa Hall thinks."

Darren Hall was even more satisfied, and asked back with interest, "What do you think I would think?"

"It all depends on whether Grandpa Hall considers Hall Territory to be a principality or an autonomous territory within the Empire."

"Publicly, I am a duchy of the Empire, but privately, I also hope to continue to maintain it."

"Grandpa Hall, this is too difficult. No emperor can accept this kind of thing, or in other words, cannot feel at ease."

"So, this old man is also in a difficult situation. However, if Sofia's husband is a member of the royal family, then things will become much simpler."

"I will not allow this to happen."

"This is our Hall family's business."

"Sophia is my woman."

"I'm her grandpa."

"But you have no control over whether Hall County can still be called 'Hall' a hundred years after you die."

“…”

Darren Hall was silent, staring at the young man in front of him who seemed a little young and immature, but calm, confident and resolute.

To be honest, he was very satisfied with this young man, really satisfied.

However, there is always a core problem that cannot be solved. If that core problem cannot be solved, no matter how satisfied he is, it will be useless.

Just as Darren Hall was about to speak, Qin Bin spoke first.

"Grandpa Hall, one of Sophia and I's future children can have the last name Hall."

"...you sure?"

Darren Hall's eyes lit up because this was the core issue he cared about.

There is only Sophia in Hall's generation. Theoretically, Sophia cannot marry out. However, Qin Bin's big concession, at least in Darren Hall's view, can perfectly solve this problem.

"Grandpa Hall, as a descendant of the royal family of the Great Qin Empire, I swear by the honor of my ancestors that one of the children Sophia and I have will take our mother's surname."

"Descendants of the royal family of the Qin Empire..." Darren Hall narrowed his eyes.

The old dean in the distance was also stunned, "My disciple is a descendant of the royal family..."

Xiao Bai at the side had dead eyes on his face, "Hehe..."

Seeing Xiao Bai like this, the old dean was puzzled, but he also asked through voice transmission. [What's the matter? Is Xiao Bin talking nonsense? ]

Xiao Bai shook his head and passed on the message, "I'm not kidding. Xiao Bin is indeed a descendant of the royal family of the Qin Empire. It's just that in Xiao Bin's world, the value of being a descendant of the royal family... well, it's very subtle, or even nonexistent."

The old dean also responded, [What do you mean? ]

[The Qin Empire founded by Xiaobin's ancestors has been destroyed for more than 2,000 years. The country where Xiaobin lived before coming to our world has changed dynasties countless times. At present, the royal descendants of various dynasties can basically be said to be everywhere. In this case, how much value do you think the identity of a royal descendant still has? ]

[I see.] The old dean nodded in realization, and then couldn't help grinning, [Xiao Bin is deliberately raising his status to cater to Xiao Darren's stupid aristocratic lineage thinking... Hehe... Interesting...]

Xiao Bai nodded and said, "And that little Darren just fell for it, didn't he?"

[Indeed. But more importantly, my disciple has good eyesight and was able to see through that idiot Darren right away.]

The old dean nodded in agreement, because at this moment Darren Hall's eyes looking at Qin Bin were a little different, or in other words, he became more satisfied.

[Are you satisfied with this disciple? ]

[Very satisfied. ]

Not to mention the whispers between Xiaobai and the old dean, let's look at the "confrontation" between Qin Bin and Darren Hall.

Darren Hall was silent for a while before he said, "Who is the principal wife?"

Chapter 072: If you are not afraid of tit-for-tat - Part

"..."

This sudden question caused Qin Bin to have some sweat on his forehead, which was rare.

Xiaobai and the old dean in the distance pricked up their ears with expectant expressions on their faces.

Seeing Qin Bin in such a predicament, Darren Hall felt relieved. He raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Boy, Sophia is my only granddaughter. My only brother Amaru (the Minister of the Interior) has not yet married. Sophia is the only hope of our Hall family, and we old guys all want to save face."

"......" Qin Bin opened his mouth but still didn't say anything, and his face looked embarrassed.

"Why, as a man, it would be embarrassing if you were stumped by something like this."

Darren Hall smiled even more, feeling extremely relieved. Let you be so arrogant, let you fight back! Humph, the Dragon Princess is right beside us, let me see how you end up!

"Huh... We in China have the custom of a woman obeying her husband after marriage, and as far as I know, the Holy Kana Empire also has a similar custom, and women are even required to take the husband's surname. But no matter what, since both sides agree on the custom of a woman obeying her husband after marriage, then after Sophia marries me, she should follow my rules.

In our place, there used to be a term called "co-wife", which means a wife who is not the principal wife in name but has the same status as the principal wife. So, it can be said that my women are both principal wives and co-wives.

I agree with this, my family certainly agrees with this, and my motherland will certainly support it.

I think this should satisfy you, Grandpa Hall, right?"

"Ah this..." Now it was Darren Hall's turn to be stunned.

There was no way. Qin Bin took into account Sophia's status, the recognition of Qin Bin's family, and the identity of Qin Bin's hometown country. In addition, as the old dean's disciple, the Dragon Clan valued him so much that the Dragon Clan masters called him "Your Highness". All these things made Darren Hall unable to find anything to complain about except throwing a tantrum and acting like a rogue.

On the other side, the old dean asked, "Little girl, does Xiaobin have such a thing as a 'co-wife'?"

Xiaobai blinked, "I don't know. Although I would ask Xiaobin about his hometown from time to time, I never asked this kind of question. However, I think it is normal for a 'second wife' to exist. As far as I know, Xiaobin's hometown used to have a system of monogamy and multiple concubines. So, in some marriages that have political needs, it is a very wise act to have a second wife. It also fits the image of the wise Chinese ancestors described by Xiaobin."

The old dean sighed, [Alas... If only I had met Xiaobin earlier, this set of rhetoric, ah bah, this set of folk customs, they would definitely be able to accept it...]

[Come on, old man, tell me your story~]

【roll. 】

The camera returns to Qin Bin and Darren Hall.

Darren Hall and Qin Bin looked at each other for a while before saying, "Boy, I remember what you said, but I will wait and see until you fulfill all your promises. And there is a deadline. Sophia just turned twenty this year. If you cannot fulfill your promise before Sophia's twenty-fifth birthday, don't blame me for being rude."

Qin Bin frowned, “Grandpa Hall, the time is too short.”

"Short? Four or five years is short to prepare for marriage and having children? Are you sure you are not kidding? Or are you deliberately teasing me!?" Darren Hall was angry, and his voice was raised several notches.

"Grandpa Hall, please be patient." Qin Bin was unmoved and explained calmly, "I am from another world. It doesn't matter what my identity is in my hometown at this moment. Now, in this world, in this transition, I am just an ordinary foreigner. In some aspects, I am not even as good as the common people of the Holy Kana Empire."

Darren Hall frowned. "What do you want to say?"

Qin Bin said, "I want to say that I need an identity that is worthy of Sofia and the others."

“…” Darren Hall was stunned.

Qin Bin added, "Personally, I don't care about the opinions of the outside world. Even if I am said to be a loser who only relies on women, I don't really care, because I know very well that it is just jealous talk. I can even make fun of those jealous people.

Similarly, Sofia and the others would not care about meaningless things.

However, I don't want Sofia and the others to be looked down upon.

As their man, I have the obligation to make them the envy of outsiders.

For this, I need time to gain the social status that the world calls attention to me.”

"..." Qin Bin's words made Darren Hall feel more favorable towards him, but he did not say anything because he wanted to know Qin Bin's plan.

Qin Bin then said, "Grandpa Hall, let me be frank. The reason why I came to the Imperial Magic and Martial Arts Academy is simply because I was attracted by the mechanism that every top graduate of the Magic and Martial Arts Academy has the possibility of obtaining a title.

It was just that I was lucky, and for some reason, I was accepted as a disciple by the teacher. This not only saved me a lot of effort in building my reputation, but also gave me unparalleled opportunities and space for growth, and even added points for me to seek a title.

Of course, all this was thanks to the teacher’s favor, which gave me a dream start.

Once a teacher, always a father. I will remember your kindness and virtue for the rest of my life."

"You can speak...but my brother and I won't speak for you." Darren Hall said seriously.

"I also don't want to rely too much on my two grandfathers. If I can't do that, I can't say I can bring happiness to Sofia."

"Are you so confident? You should know that there is nothing absolute about the 'Holy Domain of Destiny'. I have seen a 'Holy Domain of Destiny' who was only a fifth-level mage until he died of old age."

"I'm different. I think Grandpa Hall can understand that if I were ordinary, it would be impossible for Sofia and the others to revolve around me."

After Qin Bin finished speaking, he looked at Darren Hall seriously.

Darren Hall also caught his gaze sharply.

After staring at each other for a moment, Darren Hall said, "I'll give you some more time. You must fulfill your promise before Sophia's 28th birthday."

"Grandpa Hall, please wait and see. I will definitely not let you down."

"Well, I'll wait and see."

Having said that, Darren Hall was already satisfied.

He originally intended to stop his granddaughter's ridiculous behavior. However, after arriving in the imperial capital and making some inquiries, especially after learning last night that Qin Bin was from the 'Holy Land of Destiny' and was valued by the old dean and was suspected of being accepted as a disciple, his mind changed.

It’s not because of the ‘Holy Land of Destiny’. In his opinion, the identity of the old dean’s disciple is more important, not to mention that the dragon clan is involved.

The reason why he came here early in the morning today, in addition to visiting his teacher as a student, was mainly to confirm from the old dean whether Qin Bin could become the old dean's disciple.

Now, not only has the original goal been achieved, but we also got a promise that almost has the best of both worlds, which can be considered an unexpected gain.

Darren Hall, who was used to acting in a swift and decisive manner, was satisfied. He stopped talking nonsense, turned around and respectfully said goodbye to the old dean, saying that he was going to see his younger brother Amaru and talk to him about something. Then he waved his hand to refuse Qin Bin's personal escort, walked briskly up the stone steps leading down the mountain, and soon disappeared at the bend of the forest path.

After watching Darren Hall walk away, Qin Bin let out a sigh of relief and reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Xiao Bai floated to Qin Bin's side without knowing when, and said with a smile, "Xiao Bin~ It seems that your calmness just now was completely fake~"

"I can't help it. This is my first time meeting a girl's parents. I can't help but be nervous." Qin Bin said, and then he exhaled, "Huh~ But as far as the result is concerned, it's also perfect."

"Perfect? ​​Isn't there still an agreement?"

The person who spoke was not Xiaobai, but the old dean who had also been standing on the other side of Qin Bin without anyone noticing.

Qin Bin paused for a moment, then said, "Teacher, that's not really an agreement. It can be said that Grandpa Hall is urging him. Well, the old man can't wait to hold his great-grandson."

"Urge...great-grandson..."

After Qin Bin said this, Xiaobai and the old dean immediately understood.

Xiao Bai nodded and said, "That's right. Even if you don't reach an agreement in the future, Sophia can't marry again. Oh, it's not that she can't marry again, as long as she remains a widow."

"Yeah, then Darren can just get mad and kill you, Xiaobin."

Well, Xiao Bai's nonsense is fine, but the old dean also said such things, which really made Qin Bin laugh and cry...

Chapter 073: Lucky and Unlucky

"Then again, your bodies have undergone tremendous changes in just one night. It's really incredible..."

The old dean's sudden words made Qin Bin and Xiao Bai pause for a moment.

But before the two of them could speak, the old dean spoke again.

"Although I don't know what kind of luck you have had that led to such a miraculous situation, it is indeed a good thing. At least I, an old man, can't see any hidden dangers... Let's put it this way, Xiaobin."

"teacher."

"After breakfast, I will formally guide you in constructing magic circuits. I hope your understanding will be able to keep up with this extraordinary talent."

"teacher--"

"Okay, okay, let's go."

"Yes."

Qin Bin said nothing in the end. After responding, he walked towards the kitchen of the old dean's house.

After Qin Bin left, the old dean looked at Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai said first, "If you want to know anything, ask your disciples."

"Hehe~ Little girl, this is very good."
