In reality, they had already tried to win her over several times.

The nearby table seemed to be watching in sync with them and was discussing it as well.

“Fairy Ruqing is from the Southern Region. That’s so interesting. I only knew that the Southern Region was quite remote, and the family contestants from there didn’t seem to fare well in the Hundred Families Tournament.”

“No one could get any good ranking. Qin Ruqing is definitely an exception!”

“You can’t judge a person by their region!” The oldest sister looked at the eldest brother and said, “You say Qin Ruqing is an exception, but her brother’s ranking isn’t low this time either. Oh, and she has an older sister who’s also among the top three in alchemy.”

“Besides, apart from the Qin family, it seems that the South Region will also have a top rank in weaponry this time. A person named Tang Zifeng from the Xiling family in the South Region, who’s quite handsome~”

The youngest brother focused solely on Qin Ruqing, saying, “I don’t care about weaponry… I don’t even know what ‘Gold List Triple Ring’ means, but it seems the elders in our clan know.”

“The elders said that if I can achieve even a ‘Golden List Triple Ring’ or make a mark in the Hundred Clans Conference, it would be like our ancestors’ graves smoking with green smoke.”

“…Well, our ancestors’ graves might not smoke after all.”

This made Qin Ruqing laugh.

She thought this younger siblings were quite amusing.

The interview continued.

Hui Cui Building asked, “What’s your feeling about achieving the top rank on the Golden List?”

Qin Ruqing replied, “The process was very challenging because the clan representatives from various regions were all very strong. Achieving first place is very fortunate and exciting, as there are many rewards and it brings glory to my family.”

In the video, Qin Ruqing maintained a neutral expression, straightforwardly sharing her feelings.

However, anyone with a keen eye could see her eyes brighten when she mentioned rewards and her back straighten a little when talking about bringing glory to her family.

Qirong noticed that her words were a mix of truth and exaggeration—Qin Ruqing’s claiming the process was challenging was clearly an exaggeration.

It must have been quite enjoyable for her to win.

However, her genuine feelings about the rewards and bringing glory to her family were likely true.

The siblings also noticed this.

“Ha, challenging? Did we not watch the first round of the tournament? It looked like she was crushing everyone!”

“That’s called humility, you know. If she said it was easy, you might not be happy either.”

The youngest sister was just focused on praising her, saying how cute Qin Ruqing was.

The oldest sister, however, was more objective, saying, “Qin Ruqing is quite honest.”

Most people wouldn’t mention being happy about rewards, as it seems mundane.

Fairies are supposed to be above such things.

But Qin Ruqing’s honesty about her joy and practicality made her seem sincere.

That’s right, who goes to the Hundred Clans Conference if not for rewards and to bring glory to their family?

Hui Cui Building asked, “I heard that before, neither you nor your brother and sister were known as geniuses in the South Ridge. Was it deliberately kept hidden?”

Qin Ruqing replied, “Yes.”

The four siblings understood, “It’s normal to keep it hidden. For a genius like Qin Ruqing, if it wasn’t hidden, someone might have set her up. Every family has enemies, after all!”

Hui Cui Building: “Next, we have a few questions from our audience that they are most curious about. What is the spirit nurturing rank of the Qin family? And most importantly, how did the Qin family cultivate you?”

Sure enough, the four siblings’ eyes widened, and they sat up straight.

“Yeah, yeah, I’ve been curious about this for a long time. I’ve never heard of the Qin family before!”

“Hui Cui Building is quite insightful, but did they consult us about the questions? I hang around here every day and haven’t seen them ask us anything.”

The youngest sister shrugged, “Probably didn’t ask us.”

In the video, Qin Ruqing, dressed in red, seemed a bit embarrassed and said, “According to our Qin family’s standards, the spirit nurturing rank is Gold, and the cultivation level is the full support of the entire clan. Because our Qin family was previously just a lower-tier small clan.”

“Ha, she’s shy! It’s normal for a Gold standard, and having the whole clan support her is also normal. A genius of this level is supported even in a major clan, let alone a small clan in the South Region. Qin Ruqing doesn’t need to be shy,” the youngest sister said confidently.

Her brother commented, “It looks like the Qin family is not bad. Some families are so poor that a genius among the younger generation can’t be properly cultivated due to internal conflicts and is ultimately wasted.”

“Oh, you mean the He family in Shangzhou, right? I’ve heard of that,” the eldest sister added knowingly.

Hui Cui Building: “I heard that Qin Ruqing attended the Elder Council at the age of sixteen. When did she start attending? Is the current development of the Qin family related to her?”

Qin Ruqing: “I started attending at sixteen, but now that my birthday has passed, I’m eighteen. As for the Qin family’s development… I have indeed contributed some strategies.”

The youngest sister leaned over the table, “Oh my gosh, she was attending the Elder Council at sixteen. I’m already fourteen, so there are only two years left. I totally can’t catch up to her! Of course, I know I can’t compare to Qin Ruqing, but there’s something interesting. She is the sixth elder, and I’m also the sixth in my family!” She sounded quite excited.

Her brother sarcastically remarked, “Yes, you’re the youngest, and she’s an elder—both are ranked six. Such a coincidence!”

The youngest sister was left speechless.

Qirong laughed, finding the conversation among the four siblings more entertaining than watching the video.

After all, he already knew everything in the video.

After finishing some routine questions, Hui Cui Building shifted to discuss the tournament.

“Are there any participants in the tournament that you are particularly concerned about?”

Qin Ruqing began to list, “My brother and sister, of course, and also Tang Zifeng, Ming Ying, Dan Qing, and Fang Zhiming.”

The two sisters became excited together, “She mentioned Tang Zifeng, the one you just talked about, right? They might know each other! Yes, they’re all from the South Region, so it’s very likely they know each other!”

The eldest sister’s face flushed red, clearly very interested in both Tang Zifeng and Ming Ying.

She wondered if it was exactly what she thought it was. She was anxious about how she would sleep that night.

Why didn’t Hui Cui Building continue asking questions?

Fortunately, Hui Cui Building asked, “Does Qin Ruqing know Tang Zifeng?”

Qin Ruqing replied, “I met him before in Xiling.” She didn’t elaborate further.

The eldest sister exclaimed, “Just ‘met’? You should elaborate!”

“And why are you paying attention to Ming Ying and Dan Qing?”

Qin Ruqing answered, “I’m interested in Ming Ying because she’s beautiful, and I paid attention to Dan Qing because he was rumored to be a strong contender for the first place in the tournament, so I was worried about not being able to beat him. Later, it turned out that Brother Dan Qing is indeed a respectable and strong opponent.”

The youngest sister began touching her face, “She seems to like beautiful immortals!”

The eldest sister gently encouraged her, “Well, you have a few more years. Try to grow into a beauty like Ming Ying, and Qin Ruqing might notice you.”

However, her brother and youngest brother were evidently more concerned with Dang Qing.

The brother excitedly declared, “So it’s indeed a rivalry between Qin Ruqing and Dan Qing!”

The youngest brother, who preferred the “dragon hero” style, firmly defended Qin Ruqing’s superiority, asserting, “Impossible, Dan Qing can’t beat Qin Ruqing. A true rivalry needs both sides to be equally matched. Dan Qing isn’t enough!”

Hui Cui Building, for some reason, only asked about Fang Zhiming at the end.

“Why are you paying attention to Fang Zhiming?”

At this moment, Qin Ruqing’s expression turned serious. Her naturally cold demeanor became even more imposing.

She said, “Because he is the child of a rival family!”

Wow! She admitted it was a rival family!

The previous guess that the Fang family’s assassination attempt on Qin Ruqing was due to a grudge with the Qin family turned out to be true!

The four siblings exchanged astonished glances.

But how did the Qin family come into conflict with the Fang family when they are in different regions?

Indeed, Hui Cui Building asked, “But the Fang family is in the East Region, and the Qin family is in the South Region. How did these two families come into conflict?”

In red clothes, Qin Ruqing seemed hesitant but still said, “The Qin family’s former territory was not in the South Region, but in the East Region.”

“The Qin family of Yingzhou in the Eastern Region was our former name.”

“Our family was wronged and expelled from Yingzhou by the Fang family.”

The four siblings were holding their breath, eager to hear more about the expulsion.

However, the screen suddenly went dark, and the video cut off.

The youngest sister exclaimed, “Ah, why did it stop? Is the jade slip broken or is there insufficient spiritual power? I’m dying to know what happens next!”

The brother was also frustrated and frowned at Hui Cui Building, “I heard there’s a second episode. Hui Cui Building is getting more heartless, demanding money and then cutting off like this!”

The youngest brother stood up and angrily cursed the Fang family, “Fang family, despicable and shameless!”

…But it seems too hasty to curse the Fang family before everything is concluded.

The four siblings got up to ask the Hui Cui Building staff for an explanation.

Qirong watched them leave and couldn’t help but say, “Sister, why did it cut off? The story isn’t finished yet.”

Under her veil, Qin Ruqing revealed a meaningful smile and said, “It’s just to mention it briefly. The rest is for them to dig up themselves. Don’t forget, this is the Eastern Region. They might not know about the South Ridge Qin family, but the former Silver family, the Qin family of Yingzhou in the East Region—anyone can find records about them.”

“Let them dig up the old stories and discuss it for a while. When the time comes, we’ll see how to guide the narrative.”

Qin Ruqing waved the jade slip in her hand, her tone cheerful:

“I already said, there’s a second episode.”
