Dark clouds obscured the moonlight, casting shadows across the roof of the Qin residence.
Father Qin watched the two of them in the courtyard and sighed with emotion.
Fu Ruoyun, the Commander from the Western Regions, had outstanding talent. She practiced the Extreme Intention in the past, and in three months, she condensed her Qi to the size of a pinhole. She was hailed by his master as a martial prodigy that could only be seen in a century.
As for Liu Jianli, she was only twenty years old and had reached this level in just over a month. It could only be said that her talent exceeded expectations!
On top of that, she also cultivated the way of the sword!
“With her talent, it is only a matter of time before she surpasses me,” Father Qin said with a satisfied look. He never expected that the ancestral betrothal would bring such an outstanding daughter-in-law to the Qin family.
Of course, this also had to do with his effective parenting.
Otherwise, how could that rascal Feng’er would have won Jianli’s heart without any merit?
“Jianli’s Vigor Qi is like flowing water, both soft and hard, perfect for guiding Feng’er.”
“I only hope that her personal guidance can enlighten that rascal and dispel his thoughts of comprehending the Extreme Will. Otherwise, I’ll have to stop him early to prevent him from going down the wrong path,” Qin Jian’an muttered to himself.Indeed, Liu Jianli’s appearance tonight to guide Qin Feng seemed like a coincidence, but it was actually orchestrated by Father Qin behind the scenes.
Originally, he should be the one who passed down the secret of Extreme Intent from hand to hand.
However, as the Northern Ghost Head, his Vigor Qi was too overpowering. Even if he restrained it, there was a high chance that Qin Feng would be injured.
Therefore, Father Qin had waited for Liu Jianli to compress her Vigor Qi to the size of a pinhole before mentioning it to her tonight and asking her to return early.
And then came the current scene.
But as time went on, this tour seemed to take on a different flavour.
Seeing his own son and daughter-in-law lovingly holding hands, Father Qin felt it was inappropriate to watch any longer, so he disappeared into the night.
……
The sunlight streamed into the courtyard, shimmering in the reflection of the dewdrops.
Qin Feng looked down at the imprint on the ground, which was only two fingers wide, and nodded with satisfaction.
As the saying goes, “Men and women working together makes the job easier”. Under Jianli’s careful guidance last night, the results were indeed immediate!
What’s even more surprising is that he tried to use the Primordial Immortal Qi to stimulate the Primordial Qi in his eyes. Although the former was still dispersed by the latter, the distance between the two was now within reach!
This indicated that his efforts were not in vain!
“It seems that I don’t need to understand as much as you do. I should try to activate my Primordial Qi.”
At this moment, Father Qin came to the courtyard and said, “Eunuch Li has come to the mansion looking for you. He’s waiting in the hall. Go see him quickly.”
“Eunuch Li?” Qin Feng was a bit surprised. “Why is he here?”
It had been several months since he had last seen Eunuch Li.
Father Qin shook his head. “I’m not sure of the details, but he mentioned that Emperor Ming wants to summon you to the palace.”
Qin Feng straightened up immediately. “Alright, I understand, Father.”
Emperor Ming had summoned him, so of course there was no delay. Qin Feng and Eunuch Li chatted for a few moments in the hall before leaving the Qin residence and heading towards the Imperial Palace.
Inside the sedan, Qin Feng curiously asked, “Eunuch Li, I wonder why His Majesty summoned me?”
Logically speaking, matters concerning Lord Deng were classified. Speaking of them casually could lead to severe consequences, ranging from execution to the punishment of entire families.
However, perhaps due to Emperor Ming’s trust in Qin Feng, before sending Eunuch Li off, he explicitly stated that the reason could be explained on the way.
Therefore, Eunuch Li did not hide anything and explained the situation in detail.
After hearing this, Qin Feng exclaimed, “The physician who cared for Lord Deng recently passed away, so His Majesty wants me to take his place?
“That is one way to understand it. However, His Majesty knows that you are busy with your daily affairs, so his request to you is simply to treat Lord Deng.”
Qin Feng nodded.
Of course, he had a deep impression of Lord Deng.
Because of the gunpowder incident, he had had some interactions with him.
A man who commanded an army, guarded the eastern border for three days and three nights, and made an agreement with the Asura Tribe not to invade Great Qian’s territory again.
No matter who looks at his various deeds, he was undoubtedly a hero.
Therefore, Qin Feng felt quite uncomfortable knowing that although Mr. Deng seemed to be fine, he was actually suffering from severe injuries.
He only wanted to use his medical skills to alleviate Lord Deng’s pain and suffering.
“There’s one more thing I must emphasise to Young Master Qin,” Eunuch Li whispered as the carriage approached the palace, “the matter of Lord Deng’s serious injury must not be leaked. Not only will it bring disaster to the Qin family, but it will also cause turmoil throughout the Great Qian.”
“Is it that serious?” Qin Feng’s expression faltered slightly, but upon further reflection, he understood the reason, “Is it because of the Asura Clan?”
Eunuch Li’s eyes widened and he quickly gestured for silence.
Indeed… Qin Feng’s expression became solemn. Although the details of the battle years ago were unknown to most, almost everyone understood that an agreement had been made between the Asura Clan and Lord Deng.
Over the years, the Asura Clan, who had kept their promise, had never set foot in the Eastern Territory.
But if Lord Deng, who had made the pact with them, were to pass away, what would the consequences be? Who dared to guess?
After all, the situation of people going back on their word was all too common, especially when it came to the infamous Asura Clan.
Qin Feng sighed. If the human race was powerful enough, why did they need to be so cautious?
The journey ahead was filled with silence inside the sedan.
…
On the other side, in Prince Chu City of the Western Region, Prince Chu, who received a reply from Imperial City, contacted Fu Ruoyun, the commander of the Demon Slaying Division, and invited her to go to the imperial capital with him to select a replacement for the Divine General.
Although the Western Region had just recovered from the disasters and was in need of much restoration, Fu Ruoyun agreed without much hesitation.
Today was the day they were supposed to gather and leave, but someone had arrived uninvited.
She was wearing a luxurious robe, with a graceful figure, every frown and smile exuded a captivating charm, especially the nine long tails on her hips swaying in the wind, which added a unique sense of beauty to her.
This person was, of course, Su Tianyue, the chief of the Tushan Fox Clan.
When Prince Chu’s army saw her, they quickly became alarmed, but were stopped by Prince Chu’s outstretched hand.
Thanks to the efforts of Bai Wudi and the Tushan Fox Clan led by Su Tianyue, the western region’s disaster was successfully overcome.
Of course there is no need to make enemies for no reason.
Fu Ruoyun raised an eyebrow and asked, “Why are you here?”
Su Tianyue bowed slightly and smiled, “Are you all on your way to the Imperial City?”
“Yes,” Prince Chu replied.
“That’s great. Some of the women from our clan also want to go to Imperial City. I wonder if we could go together?”
At this, Prince Chu, Fu Ruoyun, and the others all wore strange expressions.
What place was the Imperial City?
It was the capital of Great Qian, under the Emperor’s feet. Not to mention the protection of the barrier, just the names of the Divine Guardian and the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower made all the demons and spirits hesitate.
How could that nine-tailed fox dare to go there willingly?
Su Tianyue understood everyone’s thoughts and said, “It’s because of all the dangers that I, a little girl, want to go with you. During this disaster, the Tushan Fox Clan has given us their full support. You wouldn’t refuse even this request, would you?”
Prince Chu thought for a moment. If he and Commander Fu could vouch for them and get a letter of approval from the Imperial City Demon Slaying Department, it wouldn’t be difficult to let the Fox Clan into Imperial City.
After all, despite the Tushan Fox Clan’s widespread fame, their infamous reputation was practically non-existent.
“It’s possible, but why do you all have to go to the Imperial City?” Prince Chu asked curiously.
To his surprise, Su Tianyue smiled tenderly and said, “The Fox Clan has been financially strapped in recent years. This poor clan wants to open a brothel there to supplement our income.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone froze on the spot with astonished expressions…
