My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 389: Just a Jade Hairpin

On the day of the New Year’s celebration, the festive atmosphere could be seen everywhere.

Not only were various households decorated with red lanterns, but many people were wearing new clothes, their faces beaming with happiness.

People from all corners of the Four Realms began to gather in Imperial City. At the gates of Imperial City, huge caravans could often be seen entering the city.

In addition to the members of the Demon Slaying Department from the Four Realms, there were also the princes of the Four Realms who came here on pilgrimage.

Among the crowds enjoying the festivities on the streets, Qin Feng also blended in. As a fan of spectacles, he couldn’t miss such a grand event.

Suddenly, a commoner exclaimed, “Look, it’s the procession of Prince Luo from the Southern Domain.”

Qin Feng followed the voice and saw luxurious carriages arriving one after another. The soldiers escorting them were neatly organized, not to mention that the leaders were even more extraordinary.

As the majestic horses advanced, the tokens on the waists of these leaders were revealed, all of them adorned with the thirty-six star emblem of the Demon Slaying Department!

“During the New Ceremony celebration, the Demon Slaying Departments of the four realms usually engage in friendly competitions. This is not only to demonstrate the strength of the Demon Slaying Departments, but also to gain more resources from the Imperial City for the coming year.”

“However, there will usually be at least one of the Twelve Divine Generals to oversee the event.” Qin Feng looked around, but he couldn’t see any of the Twelve Divine Generals.

He had already seen two generals from the Southern Domain, one was the Spear Immortal Sima Kong, and the other was the Mad Blade Zhen Tianyi.

There was also a rumored master of the Hundred Ghosts’ Dao, nicknamed Wind Ghost. However, this general was elusive, living up to the mysterious nature of his title.

“I wonder who will come this time,” Qin Feng silently speculated.

At this moment, the commoners were also gossiping.

“Last year, the Divine Generals of the Four Realms fought against each other, and the scene was truly spectacular.”

“That’s right. The Divine General from the Eastern Domain defended the arena three times without losing. He won the championship with his unruly style. I still remember it vividly.”

“Who do you think will win the championship this time?”

“In my opinion, it’s undoubtedly the Eastern Domain. The War God is as immovable as a mountain, so who can shake him?”

“That might not be the case. The newly ascended Divine General from the Northern Domain inherited the Dao of the Hundred Ghosts. It is said that he possesses the charm of the former Lord Deng and can single-handedly resist a thousand troops!”

“Don’t forget about the general from the Western Domain. Last year, he was defeated by the War God in a single move. This time, he might take revenge and turn the tables.”

The opinions of the commoners were different, and each person had their own favorite.

However, Qin Feng listened for a long time and didn’t hear anyone mention the Southern Domain.

This really confused him. Apart from the elusive Wind Ghost, he had witnessed the strength of Sima Kong and Zhen Tianyi, and even if they couldn’t secure the top spot, they were not without supporters.

Having lived in Jinyang City in the Southern Domain for a long time, he expressed his curiosity, “Friends, what about the Southern Domain? As far as I know, the Divine General in the Southern Domain is not weak. Could it be that there’s no chance of winning the championship?”

As soon as he said that, the crowd turned their eyes to him.

One person said, “Brother, you probably didn’t come to watch the martial arts competition in the arena last year, did you?”

Qin Feng nodded, “To be honest, I only arrived in the Imperial City this year. Last year at this time, I was still living in a small town in the Southern Domain.”

“I see, no wonder you don’t know. In fact, the Southern Domain is not weak. The thirty-six stars have fought several times, with wins and losses”

“However, in the martial arts competition, the focus is on the final defense, the strength of the Divine Generals. The Southern Domain has won the championship many times in the past, but in recent years, perhaps due to the frequent demon and ghost troubles in the Southern Domain, the Divine Generals have not been able to spare time and have not participated in the competition in Imperial City for many years.”

Another person added, “That’s right. Without the Divine Generals from the Southern Domain participating, how can they compete with the other three realms?”

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng nodded in understanding.

The Yin Qi in the southern region is extremely strong, and the demons and ghosts in it are not weak.

After the official Huarong Road was established, he also thought carefully about why the Huarong Road connected all the major cities.

Later, a speculation came to his mind. Maybe someone wanted to connect the spiritual veins of the heavenly cities to suppress the rampant Yin Qi in the southern region.

It was understandable that the divine general of the southern region was busy traveling to fight demons and ghosts and could not come to the imperial city to participate in the competition.

However, Qin Feng still felt a little regretful; after all, he considered himself to be half a person from the southern region.

Just then, a carriage from Prince Luo’s procession passed by. Qin Feng looked up, and as the cold wind blew, lifting the curtain of the carriage, he caught a glimpse of the side profile of a handsome young man.

Qin Feng’s eyes widened. He wanted to take a closer look, but the carriage had already gone far away.

The face of the person looked somewhat familiar to him, and his memories drifted back to Hundred Flowers Valley.

The young man in green who liked to mock him for being “amazingly talented” seemed to be overlapping with the side profile right now.

“Prince Luo?” Qin Feng muttered to himself in disbelief.

After watching the lively scene, he returned to the Qin Mansion with some doubts, and it was already time for lunch.

Second Mother curiously asked, “Feng’er, judging from your appearance, do you have something on your mind?”

Qin Feng came to his senses and shook his head, still speculating about the identity of that person and why he was sitting in Prince Luo’s procession.

Qing’er and other maids brought all the dishes to the table, and the family sat down.

Qin Feng didn’t bother to think about it anymore. Instead, he cleared his throat to attract the attention of his family.

“Big brother, what’s wrong?” his younger brother asked, holding a bowl of rice.

Without saying a word, Qin Feng took out an exquisite box from his pocket, with the words “Imperial Excellance” engraved on it.

He slowly pulled open the wooden box, and what caught the eyes of everyone was a finely crafted jade hairpin, engraved with patterns resembling flowing clouds, exceptionally beautiful.

“A few days ago, while Lady and Ningshuang were buying clothes at the Imperial Excellence, they came across this jade hairpin.” 

“I thought it had been a long time since Second Mother had changed her jewelry, and this jade hairpin matched her perfectly, so I bought it.”

Second Mother took the wooden box and smiled, “Sure enough, my love for Feng’er was not in vain. Unlike some people, who always stay at home and do nothing. Even if I flaunt the old accessories from years ago in front of him, he pretends not to see.”

Hearing this, the old man who was still busy eating suddenly choked, “You have been shaking your head in front of me all day long these days, so it turns out that you have this meaning.” 

“Madam, I’m not criticizing you, if you want jewelry, just tell me directly. Why do you need to do all this nonsense?”

“Is the old master suggesting that he would buy one for me too?” Second Mother asked with a sly look.

“A mere jade hairpin, how much money can it cost? Later, when I have time, I’ll go to Imperial Excellance to pick a better one for Madam.” the old man boasted shamelessly.

Qin Feng picked up his bowl and chopsticks and casually said, “Indeed, it’s not much, just fifteen hundred taels of silver.”

As soon as he said this, his father’s expression suddenly became very interesting.
