Chapter 274: Something Goes Wrong
If Qingfeng City hadn't fallen into such a predicament, Qiu Moyan would not have made a private deal with the Chen family with his own daughter.
It was precisely because he learned about Qiu's situation that Rong Fei did not shy away from his identity as an outsider and swaggered into the city.
Compared with the gains and losses of the ancestral inheritance, the small issue of origin is not so important.
And the facts are indeed as Rong Fei expected, Qiu Moyan's father and daughter only made a superficial test of Rong Fei's identity and then kept silent.
Rong Fei nodded when he heard this, and smiled confidently.
"Please rest assured, this time there is no guarantee for the battle, but it is not a problem to win back ten and eight cities."
"Hmph, I'm not ashamed."
Qiu Yue'e glared at Rong Fei and snorted coldly.
Rong Fei automatically ignored it and raised two fingers towards Qiu Moyan.
"But the little nephew has two requests, and I hope the city lord will answer it."
"As it should be, nephew."
Qiu Moyan stroked his beard and smiled, but a touch of gloom flashed in the corner of his eye.
And Qiu Yue'e's face suddenly turned pale, and the pair of pink fists hidden under the table couldn't help but clench.
"First request, I want to pay a visit to the statue of the Queen of the Wind enshrined in the city."
A look of surprise flashed across the faces of Qiu's father and daughter, and after a moment of silence, Qiu Moyan realized that he had guessed Rong Fei's intentions.
"Even if you don't mention it, tomorrow morning, I will also invite your nephew to visit the statue of the Queen of the Wind. Although there is not much divine power left in the statue, it is better than nothing. Absorb one more point, and you will have an extra chance of winning when you are fighting. This matter does not count, and the virtuous nephew can make another request. ”
Qiu Yue'e's heart tightened when she heard this, and she secretly pulled her father's sleeve as a reminder, but Qiu Moyan didn't realize it.
Rong Fei was noncommittal, and slightly put away a finger and said.
"The second request, after the fight, I will go to the temple with the statue of the Queen of the Wind."
"This..."
"But what's the problem?"
"It's not embarrassing, it's just... Even if I promise my nephew now, I am afraid that it will be difficult to make the trip. Although everyone knew that the temple was in the center of the world, no one had ever set foot in the forbidden area for thousands of years, let alone seen the temple with their own eyes. Each time, each city only sent its own enshrined gods to the periphery of the forbidden area, and then they had to return separately, not daring to take a step beyond the thunder pool. ”
Qiu Moyan explained.
"Forbidden area... What happens if I get in by mistake? ”
Rong Fei asked curiously.
"The only way to disobey the temple's ban is death, the kind that will be wiped out and there will be no corpse."
Qiu Moyan's expression was a little hesitant after he finished speaking, and he couldn't help but add after a moment of silence.
"However, the virtuous nephew may be different."
"Oh? How so? ”
"Uh... The virtuous nephew is quite upright in life, and the old man and you are familiar at first sight, so you have something to say. Virtuous nephew, you... Not locals. ”
"It seems that the city lord knows a lot."
Rong Fei asked noncommittally.
"The first generation of Qiu ancestors was the followers of the gods back then, leading the entire family to follow the gods to the Datong world. Before his death, the ancestor left a notebook in which he recorded the origin of the Datong world and some general outlines of the chessboard continent outside. ”
Sure enough, the Terrans in this Datong World migrated from outside and were considered a branch of the Terrans.
Even so, Rong Fei had no need to continue to cover up, and nodded generously to admit it.
"That's right, the little nephew is from outside."
What's out there... Chessboard Continent... Qiu Yue'e was at a loss when she heard such words, but Qiu Moyan didn't have the time to explain to her daughter, and asked Rong Fei excitedly.
"Nephew, the outside world... What is the situation today? ”
"This will be a chance to talk about this later, or let's talk about the temple first."
Qiu Moyan's expression was a little regretful when he heard this, but he was not easy to force, so he could only rub his hands and smile bitterly.
"I can promise to take my nephew with me when I escort the statue, but whether I can enter the forbidden area alive and visit the temple can only rely on my nephew's own ability."
"That's fine."
Rong Fei nodded in response, and then stopped making a sound.
"Virtuous nephew, the first request just now is not counted, you can mention another one."
Qiu Moyan ignored his daughter's eyes and reminded him.
"The purpose of this trip has been achieved, and there is nothing more to ask for."
"Virtuous nephew..."
"Dad, it's getting late, the guests are going to rest, let's stop bothering."
Qiu Yue'e stood beside her father and tried to forcibly help him up.
"Don't worry, I still have something to talk to my nephew. If you are tired, go back and rest on your own. ”
Qiu Moyan also wanted to find out the information outside from Rong Fei's mouth, so he shook off Qiu Yue'e's hands and pushed them towards the door.
"By the way, let Uncle Liu prepare some wine and food to send over, and I want to chat with Rong Feixian's nephew for my father."
"Daddy..."
Qiu Yue'e stomped on the lotus foot angrily.
"Silly girl, haven't you seen it yet, people don't look down on our little Qingfeng City at all, and they don't have the slightest covetousness for you. Don't worry, Dad isn't old and confused. ”
Qiu Moyan whispered in his ear.
It turned out that Qiu Yue'e had never had a good face for Rong Fei before, but she thought that Rong Fei was the same as Chen Minghui, with the idea of herself and Qingfeng City.
Now that my father said this, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief in my heart.
Walking out of the room in a daze, Qiu Yue'e was blown by the cold breeze of the night, and Qiu Yue'e also woke up.
No more marrying someone you don't like for the sake of your family – it's great!
The burden that had been on my heart for a long time was finally lifted, and my perception of Rong Fei in my heart also changed somewhat.
Although this guy has a hateful face, he is still kind in heart.
It's just that...... I didn't have a covetous heart for myself, I was really blind.
It's not as good as Chen Minghui's bastard.
In the study, Qiu Moyan introduced some matters related to the competition in detail, including the strength of those main cities, the opponents who need to be treated carefully, and so on.
Rong Fei didn't take this to heart, after seeing the number one master in Qingfeng City, it was really difficult for the so-called master in the Datong world to get into his eyes.
And if nothing else, Murong Canghai, Bai Zizai, Shushan, Demon Hall and other worlds should also have a foothold in other main cities now.
They are the opponents we will have to face in this fight.
Knock knock knock...
"Master, the food and drinks are ready."
There was a knock on the door of the study, and an old voice came from outside.
"Come in."
Qiu Moyan's words fell, the door of the study was pushed open, and an old man in a blue cloth shirt walked in with a tray.
After placing the wine and food on the square table in turn, the old man first bowed slightly to Qiu Moyan, and then nodded towards Rong Fei with a smile.
Although this old man is dressed as a servant, the whole person has a calm and unhurried momentum.
Seeing that the old man was about to turn around and leave, Qiu Moyan grabbed his arm and smiled at Rong Fei.
"Haha, introduce me to my nephew. This is the chief steward of the humble house, who grew up with the old man since he was a child, and he is like a brother. If the virtuous nephew is not seen, he can also be called Uncle Liu. Liu Chen, I've seen this Rong Feixian nephew, he is a distinguished guest of our Qingfeng City. ”
"I've seen Mr. Rong."
The old steward Liu Chen bowed solemnly to Rongfei.
At this time, Rong Fei's attention was focused on the wine and food in front of him, as if he hadn't heard Qiu Moyan and Liu Chen's words.
Qiu Moyan was a little embarrassed, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a trace of anger in his heart.
It's true that Qingfeng City wants to rely on you to win this competition, but you also have something to ask for, and both sides can be regarded as taking what they need.
The old man is kind enough to introduce people close to you, what are you pretending to be deep.
After being silent for a while, seeing that Rong Fei actually picked up the chopsticks to pick up the dishes on the plate, Qiu Moyan finally couldn't help it, but he didn't dare to offend Rong Fei, and his mind was racing to think about how to deal with this situation.
After Rong Fei took a few strokes of the dishes, he put down his chopsticks, and then waved his hand at Liu Chen.
"Sit."
Liu Chen blinked, then looked at Qiu Moyan, his eyes showing an inquiring meaning.
"Your guest asks you to sit, so you can sit down."
Qiu Mo muttered a little displeased in his tone.
After Liu Chen took his seat, Rong Fei smiled and said to Qiu Moyan.
"It's not that the little nephew doesn't know the etiquette, but he just thought of a strange thing."
"Oh, what's the matter?"
Qiu Moyan was suddenly aroused by curiosity.
"It's the lord of the city who failed to give birth to an heir."
