My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 336: The Liu Family’s MIght

Qin Feng opened his mouth and stood frozen in place. This was the first time he had heard of this.

“But I see that Mother has no cultivation. How did she give birth to Jianli back then?” 

Liu Tianlu explained, “This difference in cultivation only applies to males, similar to the dragon race.” 

“The powerful dragon race, regardless of mating with any other race, can easily produce offspring because of the rare innate talents in their bloodlines. However, if a female dragon mates with an outsider, it’s extremely difficult to have offspring because few can suppress their dragon bloodline.”

Such a thing exists!

In this world, they still maintain gender distinctions. When will men ever stand tall?!

Qin Feng was furious, his whole body trembling. No wonder despite that he and his wife had been working hard, there was no sign of pregnancy.

Unexpectedly, it was the bloodline in the other party’s body that didn’t fancy his ‘things’ at all!

If the cultivation of men is much inferior to women, it leads to infertility. Is this an unspeakable secret of the old times?

Perhaps sensing his thoughts, Liu Tianlu comforted, “You don’t need to worry. As long as you can cultivate to the fourth rank, this issue will be easily resolved.”

Hearing this, Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief. There was a huge gap between the third and fourth ranks—the confirmation of dominance over heaven and earth!

The difficulty of promotion between the two was like heaven and earth.

But even so, it is not easy to be promoted to the fourth rank.

“I will work hard to improve my cultivation.” Qin Feng gritted his teeth and said.

Today, he had one more reason to desperately improve his cultivation—so that his children could open their eyes to the world sooner!

After a while, led by his father-in-law, Qin Feng arrived at a separate courtyard.

“Dad, I brought him here.”

As the words fell, the courtyard door opened on its own.

A mature voice came from inside the courtyard, “Come in.”

Stepping inside, the courtyard was very simple. Apart from a few pine and cypress trees, there was only a stone table and four stone chairs.

Sitting on one of the stone chairs was an old man with white hair, undoubtedly the old man of the Liu family, the current Duke Liu Yuan.

The old man looked over, showing an approving expression, “You are Qin Feng? Not bad, the glory of the Qin family’s ancestors might be able to shine again in your generation.”

“You overly praised, Grandfather-in-law,” Qin Feng said modestly.

The old man gestured for them to sit down. Then, the wine cups on the stone table appeared in front of the three as if by magic.

This was a method of externalizing Inner Qi. Being able to control the Qi skillfully shows how high the old man’s cultivation is.

And indeed, that’s the truth.

As the divine pillar of the Liu family, Old man Liu’s cultivation has reached the peak of the third realm. He’s only one step away from the legendary second realm.

However, this last step has been a stumbling block for more than a decade.

Qin Feng was just about to pour wine for the old man, but he heard the other party ask, “Do you know why I want to see you?”

After pausing for a moment, Qin Feng replied, “The waters of Imperial City run deep. Perhaps Grandfather-in-law Liu wishes to guide the younger generation to prevent them from taking the wrong path.”

Old man Liu nodded approvingly, “Back then, I watched the Qin family leave Imperial City. In fact, I also thought about stopping it.” 

“But the Qin family has declined. After moving away from those hidden arrows, avoiding their sharpness by retreating elsewhere, was also a good choice.” 

“The Liu family actually owes you a lot. If it weren’t for the ancestral engagement, and marrying Jianli to you, you wouldn’t have suffered so many undeserved disasters in your youth, even implicating the entire Qin family. Even if you harbor resentment towards the Liu family, I can understand.”

“You’re thinking too much, Grandfather-in-law Liu. Marrying Jianli is a blessing I’ve cultivated for three lifetimes. How could I harbor resentment? I just want to know who in Imperial City targeted the Qin family in the past.” Qin Feng curiously asked.

It’s not that he wants to settle scores after autumn; after all, he doesn’t have that capability now. It’s just that he wants to know his enemies in advance to better guard against them.

Old man Liu spoke slowly, “There are too many.”

Then, Qin Feng heard the old man report dozens of official positions. These were not idle officers, they held real power!

The more Qin Feng listened, the more shocked he became. He had underestimated the charm of his own wife.

These officials were scattered across various departments in the imperial capital. If they continued to target the Qin family, it would be extremely difficult for the Qin family to move even a step.

He suddenly felt like escaping back to Jinyang City.

Perhaps sensing his thoughts, Grandfather-in-law Liu chuckled, “Don’t worry too much. Those are all things of the past. After all, you and Jianli are already husband and wife.”

Qin Feng raised an eyebrow.

Yeah!

The reason those people targeted the Qin family back then was simply because they didn’t want the Qin family to marry into the Liu family.

“Who wouldn’t want to marry a woman like Liu Jianli? Firstly, because of Emperor Ming’s drunken words, marrying Liu Jianli could ensure the prosperity of the family for a hundred years. A martial arts master with an immeasurable future should have this ability.”

“Secondly, it is an opportunity to align with the influential Liu family.”

“However, now that the deed is done and you guys are officially married, targeting the Qin family would be unreasonable. It would only create unnecessary enemies for no apparent reason.”

At this moment, Qin Feng suddenly thought of something and asked, “Actually, there’s something I’ve never understood. On the day of the wedding, the Minister Of War’s son Tang Xuan came over to make a big fuss about the wedding. What was he after?”

Although the Minister of War holds real power, he still doesn’t think they are on the same level as the Grand Duke of The Great Qian.

Even if the Ministry of War and the Divine Marquis Army have always been at odds, it should be done through mutual criticism in the court, not by causing a disturbance on the day of their marriage.

After all, this is equivalent to slapping the Grand Duke of The Great Qian in the face, and it could escalate into an unrestrained situation.

If the Minister of War had some intelligence, he wouldn’t have made such a move.

Unless the person instructing Tang Xuan is not the Minister of War himself.

The old man replied, “Tang Xuan was acting on behalf of someone above, targeting our Liu family.”

“Someone above,” Qin Feng’s pupils dilated slightly, making it more intriguing.

Those who dared to attack the Grand Duke of The Great Qian could be counted with ten fingers, and most of them were relatives of the emperor.

Watching the changing expression of Qin Feng, Old Master Liu said, “You don’t need to guess randomly. The marriage between the Liu and Qin families has been approved by Emperor Ming.”

“No matter what thoughts that person had before, now that you’ve returned to the Imperial Capital, if he wants to make a move on you again, he will first have to face the Liu family.”

While Old Master Liu spoke calmly, Qin Feng could sense the underlying turbulence.

It made sense; when his precious granddaughter faced interference and provocation during her marriage, anyone would get angry.

Old Master Liu’s assertive words and protective nature also pleased Qin Feng. This support was truly reassuring.

“Grandfather, let’s not talk about those dampening matters. I offer a toast to you and Dad.”

The change in address made Old Master Liu’s mouth curl upward.

This kid is quite clever. No wonder he has won the affection of Jianli.  Liu Tianlu, who was serious in speech and language, thought this in his heart.
