Master Murong snorted and sneered, "Marry into the family? Don't you know what kind of family the Xu family is? It's already hard enough for him to agree to marry you, but you still want to marry into the family! "
Master Murong was also unhappy when he said this. There was nothing more disgusting than having someone who was proud of his family admit that he was inferior to others. However, in the eyes of the world, even if the Xu family was poor, their status was much higher than the Murong family. The so-called scholarly family … humph!
Murong Mingyan thought of Xu Qingchen's ruthlessness and her beautiful eyes couldn't help but dim. She continued, "Great Granduncle and Grandfather are very resourceful, so they must have a way. If Young Master Qingchen can become a member of the Murong family, we don't need to get involved with the assassin organization because of his relationship with Princess Ding. The Emperor Of Xiling won't dare to touch the Murong family easily. Moreover, with Young Master Qingchen's help, the Murong family will rise to a higher level. "
Master Murong hesitated when he heard this. It would be best if the Murong family could rise to a higher level. Once Xu Qingchen married into the Murong family, the Murong family and the Xu family would be relatives. Most importantly, the next generation of the Murong family would be the son of the famous Young Master Qingchen. At that time, who would dare to say that the descendants of the Murong family were businessmen who reeked of money? However … the Xu family had always been indifferent. How could they agree to such a proposal? Master Murong looked at Murong Xiong and hesitated for a moment before saying, "If so, Xu Qingchen is indeed more suitable than Ling Tiehan. After all … Ling Tiehan is the head of the assassins. I'm afraid it won't be easy to control him. But this matter … I'm afraid it won't be easy. "
Murong Xiong narrowed his eyes and pondered. His eyes emitted a sharp light. He said proudly, "What's not easy about it? It's his blessing that I, Murong Xiong, am willing to marry my great-niece!" It wasn't because Murong Mingyan was good enough for Xu Qingchen, but because Murong Mingyan was his great-niece. As the number one expert in the world, he was confident that Xu Qingchen would not refuse this proposal. Master Murong looked at Murong Mingyan, who was kneeling on the ground with eyes full of expectation, and then looked at Murong Xiong, who was full of confidence. In the end, he agreed.
It could be said that they had come to the martial arts tournament in high spirits, but they had returned in disappointment. On the second day of the Martial Arts Competition, half of the top ten experts had died before the third day of the competition. As for how they died, everyone was well aware. After all, everyone wants to be the son-in-law of the richest man in the world, but the Murong family only has one daughter. Naturally, he had to reduce his enemies as much as possible. Therefore, when the competition started and only half of the original Top Ten Experts appeared, no one felt the slightest bit surprised.
Jhennam Of Gojoseon turned to look at Ling Tiehan, who was resting with his eyes closed, and asked with a smile, "Pavilion Master Ling, are you interested in testing your skills on stage this year?"
Although his face was calm as usual, Jhennam Of Gojoseon was very cautious of Ling Tiehan in his heart. In this meeting, he could not see through Ling Tiehan's depth. In other words, even if Ling Tiehan was not stronger than him, he was definitely not weaker than him. However, Ling Tiehan was ten years younger than him. Thinking about Mo Xiuyao, who was seven or eight years younger than Ling Tiehan, Jhennam Of Gojoseon suddenly felt a trace of exhaustion and helplessness. Compared to Mo Xiuyao, he was already old.
The one who should have competed with Mo Xiuyao was his son, but unfortunately, his son was far from being able to compare to Mo Liufang's son. Turning around to look at Lei Tengfeng, who was sitting behind him, Jhennam Of Gojoseon began to reflect on whether he had arranged things too well for Tengfeng, to the point where he was inferior to Mo Xiuyao in every aspect. Perhaps … when he goes back, he should let him take charge …
Ling Tiehan opened his eyes and said indifferently, "Not interested. Jhennam Of Gojoseon, Crown Prince Jhennam Of Gojoseon, are you not going to try?" Among these so-called rookies, other than the youth called Ren Qining, who was somewhat interesting, the others were simply not worthy of Ling Tiehan's attention. Ling Tiehan, who had just fought with Mo Xiuyao, had no interest in fighting with the younger generation. Moreover … there were stronger opponents in An City right now. Ling Tiehan lowered his eyes and looked at his right hand resting on the armrest. Then, he casually turned his gaze to the magnificent Murong family villa not far away.
Jhennam Of Gojoseon laughed loudly, "Tengfeng's insignificant martial arts is not good enough for him to compete on the stage. He is also not a person of Jianghu, so there is no need for him to care about this little dispute." The last sentence was directed at Lei Tengfeng. In any case, it was impossible for the Murong family to marry their daughter to the Zhennan Wang's residence. Lei Tengfeng's participation in the martial arts competition was meaningless.
"Father is right." Lei Tengfeng nodded in agreement. Jhennam Of Gojoseon nodded in satisfaction. He looked at his son with gratification and said, "When we return to the capital, Tengfeng will lead the troops to the South." Hearing this, Lei Tengfeng was indescribably surprised. He knew his father's intention to use the troops. Asking him to lead the troops to the South at this time was giving him permission to lead the troops alone. As long as he led the troops properly, he could have his own military power. Seeing that he understood his meaning, Jhennam Of Gojoseon patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are not young anymore. It is time for you to take charge. Father is also old … "
"Father is at the peak of his life. This child thanks father …" Lei Tengfeng said.
Jhennam Of Gojoseon and his son said this without any intention of hiding it from others. Even Xu Qingchen, who was dozing off to the side, did not seem to care. This was originally Jhennam Of Gojoseon's test of Xu Qingchen. Young Master Qingchen was famous throughout the world, but many things could not be done with talent alone. He also needed to be decisive and ruthless.
The terrain at the border between Nanzhao and Xi Ling was complicated. It was impossible to end the battle quickly. Thus, from the start, Jhennam Of Gojoseon had the idea of attacking Nanzhao first. He had not planned on a quick sneak attack. Thus, keeping it a secret was not so important. Or rather, if he could test Xu Qingchen's true depths, even if he leaked a bit of military intelligence, Jhennam Of Gojoseon would feel it was worth it.
If Xu Qingchen chose to save Nanzhao, it meant that this person was soft-hearted and did not need to be feared. If Xu Qingchen chose to stand by and watch, there was also no need to be too worried. If Xu Qingchen used Nanzhao and Xi Ling to restrict each other, or even do something else, then … other than Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li in the northwest, there would be one more person to be wary of.
Xu Qingchen did not pretend not to hear, nor did he deliberately care about this topic. It was as if Jhennam Of Gojoseon and his son were talking about ordinary family matters, as if the father was praising the son. He opened his eyes and looked at Lei Tengfeng. He smiled faintly and said, "Congratulations, Lei Tengfeng."
Lei Tengfeng smiled and said, "Many thanks, Young Master Qingchen." But the smile did not reach his eyes. Lei Tengfeng's life was actually quite sullen. Although his abilities and methods were not bad, the pressure from above was Jhennam Of Gojoseon. There was no room for him to show off. If he did well, like father, like son. If he did wrong, he would be a bad bamboo shoot. In terms of ability, ability, and experience, even if he was not as good as Mo Xiuyao, he would not lose to Yelu Hong, Yelu Ye, Mo Jingqi, Mo Jingli, and the others. But when he mentioned others, the only impression they would have of him was Jhennam Of Gojoseon. Lowering his head, Lei Tengfeng's eyes flashed with determination. He would let the world know what it meant to be the student surpassing the master!
"This one greets Young Master Qingchen." While Xu Qingchen and the other two were chatting, a middle-aged man who looked like a servant of the Murong family came over and greeted Xu Qingchen.
Xu Qingchen sat up and nodded with a smile. "No need to be so polite." The man looked at Xu Qingchen with flattery and fawning eyes. He smiled and said, "Not at all. Our master and master invited you to the manor for a chat." This morning, Murong Xiong and the Murong family head did not appear on the stage. Although everyone was surprised, they did not say anything. Originally, the martial arts convention did not involve anyone. This time, the Murong family had done enough to organize it.
The people present were not ordinary people. Naturally, they could see that the man's attitude towards Xu Qingchen was different. Xu Qingchen frowned slightly and said, "Does the Murong family head have something to say?"
The man smiled apologetically and said, "The family head naturally has something important to discuss with Young Master Qingchen." Xu Qingchen nodded and stood up. "If so, please lead the way."
Ling Tiehan, who was sitting on the side, also stood up and said with a smile, "This one has admired the Murong family for a long time. Would it be possible for me to visit?"
"This …" The man was in a bit of a dilemma. The master and the old master definitely didn't want Ling Tiehan to pay them a visit now, but Ling Tiehan was the head of the assassins in the King of Hell's Pavilion. How could he resist his majesty? Ling Tiehan did not make things difficult for him. He smiled generously and said, "There's no need to make things difficult. It's just that this Pavilion Master has a good relationship with Prince Ding and Princess Consort. I have also promised Prince Ding that I would take good care of Young Master Qingchen. Since it is not convenient for me to go, I can only ask the Murong family head to come out and chat with Young Master Qingchen. "
This was not embarrassing? The man's face turned green. He forced a smile and said, "Young Master Qingchen, you are a guest. The Murong family will guarantee your safety."
"Wasn't the first person to make a move on Young Master Qingchen at the martial arts convention from the Murong family?" Leng Liuyue, who was sitting behind Ling Tiehan, said coldly.
"In that case, Pavilion Master Ling, please come out." The man gritted his teeth and said. The order he received was to invite Young Master Qingchen. If he did not invite him, the master would usually deal with the incompetent person first before asking for the reason.
Watching the group leave, Lei Tengfeng frowned and said, "Father, is the Murong family planning to …"
Jhennam Of Gojoseon sneered and his eyes were fierce. "That old man Murong Xiong wants to die. I will help him!"
