Chapter 168: The Imperial Capital
The imperial capital of the Iron and Blood Empire, the city wall is very tall and thick, like a heavenly sting, towering in front, majestic and magnificent.
On the wall of the imperial capital, there stood a mighty and murderous soldier, each of them holding a spear, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and the cold light flickered, and he knew at a glance that he was a soldier of a hundred battles.
In addition, Wang Feng was in the city gate tower, and he also sensed three powerful breaths of the True Monarch level.
"It is worthy of being the imperial capital, much grander than Shenwu City and Zhenshan City. Wang Feng thought secretly.
"Senior Brother Wang, let's go in!" Qin Shuiyao was very familiar with the emperor, and as soon as he entered it, he pulled Wang Feng and ran home impatiently.
Wang Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Along the way, many people looked at Wang Feng curiously, they didn't recognize Wang Feng, but the mask on Wang Feng's face was very dramatic, which made people laugh secretly.
In this regard, Wang Feng could only shake his head helplessly and continue to follow Qin Shuiyao on foot.
......
Qinfu!
As a big family in the imperial capital, the Qin family's mansion is naturally very magnificent, the vermilion courtyard wall is very tall, and the surrounding area is full of big trees, enveloping the entire Qin Mansion in it.
At the gate of the Qin Mansion, there are eight stone lions, which are mighty and extraordinary.
In addition, there were four True Master-level immortal cultivators guarding it.
"Stop!" Suddenly, from the street not far away, a beast cart came and stopped in front of the gate of the Qin Mansion.
On the carriage, an old man with crane hair and a childish face walked down, followed by a subordinate with a gift box.
"Excuse me, let's just say that the three elders of the Ning Mansion came to visit the head of the Qin family. A subordinate stepped forward and said to the guards of the Qin Mansion.
One of the guards glanced at the crane-haired old man. Nodding. turned around and went back to the Qin Mansion to report.
Soon. The housekeeper of the Qin Mansion personally came out to greet him, and led the three elders of the Ning family and the others in.
Qinfu Hall.
The head of the Qin family had already been waiting here, looking at the Ning family who had followed his housekeeper and entered in one after another, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
"I've seen the Qin family master!" The three elders of the Ning family saw the Qin family master, and hurriedly hugged their fists politely.
The head of the Qin family waved his hand lightly and said, "No need to be polite. Ning Laosan, you brought such a group of people to my Qin Mansion, I don't know why?"
"Don't you know what's going on?" Ning Laosan rolled his eyes when he heard this, muttering to himself.
However, he didn't dare to say this, after all, the Qin family's power was not much weaker than his Ning family, and besides, they came to withdraw from the marriage this time, which was a bit unauthentic in itself, so he naturally had to keep his voice down.
At that moment, Ning Laosan secretly organized the language. Only then did he speak: "Qin family master, there was news from the Sword Gate not long ago. said that the young master of my family has an adventure and is about to be promoted to the realm of the true monarch, and he is now at the critical juncture of retreat, I am afraid that he will not be able to get out of the customs and complete the marriage with Ling Qianjin in a short time......"
"It doesn't matter, the virtuous nephew has this adventure, Qin is naturally very happy. As for the marriage, it can be postponed in the future, after all, cultivation is a big thing. The head of the Qin family said lightly.
Ning Laosan pursed his lips when he heard this, it took so long to rush into the realm of the True Monarch, isn't it obvious that he wants to withdraw from the marriage, this old guy obviously heard it, and he was still pretending to be confused, it was really hateful.
However, having said that, Ning Laosan still stubbornly continued: "Master of the Qin family, our two families have been friends for generations, and now our young master can't get out of the customs in a short time, so it's not good for Ling Qianjin to drag it like this......"
"Dad, I'm back!"
"Senior Brother Wang, come in with me, hehe!"
"Miss, there are guests inside. β
"What guest, is it still Miss Ben?"
......
Just then, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Shuiyao pulled Wang Feng and ran in in a bouncing manner, followed by the old housekeeper who trotted all the way.
"Yao'er!" The Qin family head's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but smile.
It's just that when the head of the Qin family thought of Ning Laosan on the side, his smile suddenly froze, and his face was a little cloudy.
He naturally knew what Ning Laosan was doing this time, and even the people in the entire imperial capital knew about it, although he also knew that Qin Shuiyao had no interest in that fiancΓ©. However, if he was divorced like this, not to mention the Qin family's face, Qin Shuiyao will be ridiculed in the future.
Thinking of this, the head of the Qin family had a gloomy face, and his sharp eyes glared at Ning Laosan fiercely.
Ning Laosan lowered his head, a little embarrassed, he was also helpless, the young master of their family was extraordinary, and now he was about to step into the realm of the true monarch, and his status in the Ning Mansion was second only to the ancestor in the family, so naturally he would not marry an ugly monster as his wife, and he was also a wife.
What they didn't know was that Qin Shuiyao at this time had already recovered her appearance.
Because he wanted to surprise the head of the Qin family, Qin Shuiyao was still wearing a veil at this time, and outsiders couldn't see it at all.
However, when she finally arrived home at this moment, Qin Shuiyao couldn't bear it any longer, pulled off her veil, ran to the head of the Qin family excitedly, and said excitedly: "Dad, look, my face has recovered, and my illness has been cured." β
For so many years, Qin Shuiyao's illness not only made her suffer from the ridicule of others, but even her father and mother were the same, being ridiculed in secret.
Especially the news that the Ning family deliberately released the divorce, which made the Qin family lose face, and even her father, the head of the family, almost couldn't sit still.
"Yao...... Yao'er, you ...... You're really good!" The head of the Qin family had always been very steady, but when he saw the white and flawless face of his daughter in front of him, he suddenly trembled with excitement.
"Dad, thanks to Senior Brother Wang, he cured my illness. Qin Shuiyao said happily.
Everyone on the side was very shocked, especially the third elder of the Ning family, and a fine light and joy flashed in his eyes.
"Senior Brother Wang?" Hearing this, the head of the Qin family couldn't help but look at Wang Feng on the side, because Wang Feng was wearing a flower-faced mask and looked a little funny, so he didn't care about it before, and thought it was just an ordinary friend of Qin Shuiyao.
After all. Over the years, Qin Shuiyao has traveled south and north by himself. I also met a lot of friends.
Because Qin Shuiyao did not tell his family background. And she looks ugly, so the friends she knows are all sincere, so the head of the Qin family doesn't mind his daughter associating with these people.
At this time, hearing that it was this person who had cured his daughter, the head of the Qin family immediately shook Wang Feng's palm with a grateful face, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Brother Wang." β
"Dad, what are you talking about? Senior Brother Wang is not much older than me, how can I call you a brother and a brother!" Qin Shuiyao on the side was suddenly unhappy when he heard this, and glared at the head of the Qin family fiercely.
If you let your father and Senior Brother Wang call you brothers, wouldn't you be a generation shorter for nothing, and you will still call Wang Feng uncle in the future?
Thinking of this, Qin Shuiyao couldn't help but pinch the arm of the head of the Qin family.
Although the head of the Qin family is not old and mature, but after all, he is the head of the family, and his mind is naturally not low, and he instantly found that his daughter's eyes looking at Wang Feng were a little different.
He was also from the past, and soon guessed that his daughter might have liked this young man.
That's right, too. A person who doesn't dislike his daughter for being ugly, and heals her injuries, no matter who it is, will be moved.
However, thinking of Ning Laosan on the side, the head of the Qin family suddenly changed his face.
"Okay, it's Daddy Meng Lang, nephew Wang Xian, please take a seat, the housekeeper will go and serve tea to nephew Wang Xian." The head of the Qin family nodded slightly.
"Uncle Qin is polite. Wang Feng smiled and sat down on the side, but he was wearing a mask, and others couldn't see his face.
After a few people sat down again, Qin Shuiyao glanced at Ning Laosan opposite curiously, and couldn't help asking, "Dad, who is this old-timer?"
Without waiting for the head of the Qin family to speak, Ning Laosan spoke first and said with a smile: "Miss Qin, Lao Yu is the third elder of Ning Mansion, when you and the young master of my family set up a doll kiss, Lao Yu was next to him." Hehe, I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, Miss Qin had grown so big and was so beautiful, I really envy the head of the Qin family for having such a good daughter!"
The head of the Qin family nodded undeniably, but he sneered in his heart, he wanted to withdraw from the marriage just now, but now that he saw his daughter's appearance, he wanted to change his attention, what did he think of the children of the Qin family?
Qin Shuiyao on the side frowned, and his eyes were full of hostility when he looked at Ning Laosan.
Over the years, it was because the Ning family deliberately released the news that they were going to withdraw from the marriage, which made many people laugh at her, saying that she was ugly and no one wanted her, which didn't know how much damage it caused her.
Therefore, Qin Shuiyao did not have any good feelings towards the people of the Ning family.
"Ning Laosan, what you said just now, Qin also understood. Over the years, my daughter has been ugly, and the entire imperial capital knows very well that she is indeed not worthy of the young master of your family, since this is the case, this marriage will end here. The head of the Qin family said at this time.
When Qin Shuiyao heard this, his eyes suddenly showed joy.
Ning Laosan's face changed, and then he shook his head and said: "The head of the Qin family misunderstood, this time I brought so many gifts here, I came here on the order of the head of the family to give the Qin family a dowry, as for the rumors outside, our Ning family has never cared, after all, you and I have been friends for generations, how can our Ning family do such a thing as regretting marriage and destroying the relationship between you and me." β
When the head of the Qin family heard this, he laughed angrily, this turned his face too quickly, he wanted to withdraw from the marriage before, but now when he saw her daughter's appearance, he didn't want to withdraw from the marriage.
Wang Feng swept away the gifts on the ground, and instantly understood, because although these gifts were precious, they were not dowry gifts at all.
Combined with Qin Shuiyao's previous appearance and some gossip, Wang Feng guessed what this third elder of the Ning family had come to do before.
I have to say that such a person makes him a little disgusted.
"Hmph, what kind of gossip is not the news that your Ning family deliberately spread. "Qin Shuiyao is not an idiot, she is even more above Wang Feng in terms of her understanding of the Ning family, so she is very angry at this time.
"Shut up!" The head of the Qin family changed his face when he heard this, and he couldn't help but shout.
It's one thing to know, it's another thing to say it, after all, the head of the Qin family doesn't want to tear up with the Ning family, which is not good for the development of their Qin family.
Seeing this, Ning Laosan's eyes narrowed, he stood up, and arched his hand: "Master Qin, the dowry has been put down, and when the young master of my family is out of the customs, I will bring him to visit in person and say goodbye!"
After that, without giving the head of the Qin family a chance to react, Ning Laosan left with a group of people.
The head of the Qin family looked at Ning Laosan's back and frowned. (To be continued......)
