Chapter 173: Chapter 168 Arrogant Ignorance? _1

Translator: 549690339 |

The one seated at the upper left, with darker skin and a slender figure, had distinctly prominent cheekbones. His face was clean-shaven, and he appeared to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. Quite young.

To the right sat a middle-aged man in his forties, with three tufts of a beautiful beard fluttering across his chest, and a rather square-looking face.

It was just that his nose was exceptionally large, and somewhat pointed—it was the often-mentioned hawk nose.

Under normal circumstances, a hawk nose tends to be on the smaller side, but this man’s was quite the opposite, with very large nostrils and a thick nose.

From the perspective of physiognomy, people with large earlobes are often considered fortunate, whereas those with large noses are thought to be hot- tempered and aggressive by nature.

This man’s eyes also spoke volumes, with a murky yellow gleam that was fierce.

By the sides of both Insect Masters were young and beautiful maids accompanying them.

They were unapologetically embracing the maids and constantly emitting teasing laughter.

Seeing such a scene, Qin Niu slightly furrowed his brows.

In the upper circles nowadays, there was a peculiar phenomenon—no joy without women.

Just like when Qin Niu visited the Fang Family, two young maids around the age of seventeen or eighteen were in attendance to serve him a pleasurable bath. From the looks of it, they were willing to do anything as long as Qin Niu was inclined.

This was also the sadness of being a servant, with no dignity to speak of, their fates directly in the hands of their masters.

“Let me introduce you to the masters. This is Master Qin Niu.”

The two Insect Masters merely glanced at Qin Niu indifferently and nodded slightly, their attitude extremely arrogant.

“This is Master Shi Doudan.”

The young heir of the Yan Family made a symbolic gesture with his right hand, pointing to the hawk-nosed Insect Master.

“I have seen Master Shi.”

Qin Niu, however, was exceptionally humble.

“This is Master Mo Sang! Don’t be fooled by his age, not yet thirty, but he already possesses strength close to that of a Middle-rank Insect Master, and he holds considerable prestige within the Insect Master Association. Our Yan Family also relied on connections, and it was not easy to invite Master Mo Sang over.”

The young heir of the Yan Family introduced the dark-skinned young Insect Master with great importance.

The fact that the host introduced the other so ceremoniously was also a way to emphasize the Insect Master’s status.

“I have seen Master Mo!”

Qin Niu gave a slight bow to the other party.

Looking at the robes of these two individuals, they were both merely low-rank Insect Masters, sharing the same status as Qin Niu.

Seeing that Qin Niu was only a youth, they looked down upon him, which was actually very superficial.

Qin Niu’s ant colony could easily deal with Grade Four insects.

You should know that anyone with Grade Four insects has at least one foot in the threshold of becoming a Middle-rank Insect Master.

As long as the insects being raised are not too disappointing, and the Insect Master is not ridiculously poor in the most basic Insect Master skill of ‘Insect Speech’, they basically can pass the assessment for Middle-rank Insect Masters.

The assessment for Insect Masters is based on two criteria: the level of the insects an Insect Master raises and whether they are strong, and the skill level of the Insect Master himself.

The most fundamental ability in controlling insects is “Insect Speech”.

If an Insect Master can’t even communicate with their raised insects, there’s a good nine out of ten chance they’re incompetent.

As for the level of the raised insects, that also indirectly reflects the strength of the Insect Master.

Ordinary people simply cannot command insects of Grade Three or higher.

Strictly speaking, an insect that reaches Grade Three is more powerful than the average person.

For an ordinary person to command such an insect is like expecting an infant to lift a heavy object, simply impossible.

Furthermore, the higher the level of the insect, the stronger the Insect Master’s breeding capabilities are.

Therefore, the assessment for Insect Masters consists only of insect level and Insect Master skills.

This considerably introduced Master Mo Sang, who was not yet a Middle-rank Insect Master, which meant his raised insects were at most Grade Four.

His strength was not even comparable to Qin Niu’s.
