Qi Huanzhi was also an interesting person.
If it were anyone else, they wouldn't be close friends with Ji Tianxing, nor would they confide in him.
At most, they would say a few perfunctory words and wouldn't tell him the real reason.
Of course, most people wouldn't ask Ji Tianxing to stay in Qiulan Courtyard after meeting him.
It was too expensive!
Qi Huanzhi put down his wine cup and stared straight at Ji Tianxing. "Brother Tianxing, do you really want to know the reason?"
Ji Tianxing maintained his smile and nodded.
Qi Huanzhi hesitated for a moment, then dismissed the two maids.
When only he and Ji Tianxing were left in the living room, he lowered his voice and said, "Brother Tianxing, let me ask you a question first.
If your parents love you very much, but they force you to do something impossible, what will you do? "
Ji Tianxing said without hesitation, "As long as you dare to think and do it, there's nothing impossible in this world."
"Uh …" Qi Huanzhi was stunned for a moment, then gave him a thumbs up. "Brother Tianxing, you're really an interesting and special person.
However, I really can't do it!
You know Yuwen Jie, right? He's the eldest son of the Qingshan City Lord, our Young Lord!
He was born more than ninety years after me, but he became a half-step Divine Lord eighty years ago!
My father forced me to defeat him, or I would have to marry into the Sky Snow City's Ning family and marry that iceberg Ning Siyuan … "
"Marry into the Sky Snow City's Ning family? Marry that iceberg? "Ji Tianxing was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing.
"Isn't it funny?" Qi Huanzhi said with a bitter smile on his face. Everyone in Qingshan City thinks it's hilarious and absurd!
It's so ridiculous, but my parents agreed to it!
When I was ten years old, my father set up a marriage agreement with the Ning family.
That iceberg is in my house. My parents treat her like the apple of their eye, but they give me the cold shoulder.
I have a home that I can't go back to! "
After Qi Huanzhi finished speaking, he poured three more cups of wine and drank them all in one gulp.
Perhaps he felt that the wine cup was too small to satisfy his craving, so he picked up the wine pot and was about to pour it into his mouth.
Ji Tianxing reached out and pressed down on the wine jug. He restrained his smile and asked seriously, "Young Master Qi, getting drunk can solve a thousand worries, but it can't break your engagement with Miss Ning.
Let me ask you, is Ms. Ning's family also in the pet business? "
When he asked this question, he thought of the caravan he had encountered when he entered the city gate.
That three-eyed woman in silver armor should be Ning Siyuan.
Qi Huanzhi paused for a moment, then nodded. "Yes! It seems that you haven't been idle for the past two days. Have you gone out to gather information? "
Ji Tianxing didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "Is Miss Ning's family more powerful than your Qi family?"
"Of course!" Qi Huanzhi quickly nodded and explained, "My family is the richest in Green Mountain City, and the Ning family is the richest in Sky Snow City.
Qingshan City was a small city in a remote area, while Sky Snow City was a county city, one of the ten most prosperous main cities of the Bloodflame Divine Country.
For example, the Ning family is a resplendent palace, and my family is a shabby thatched hut!
My father can't wait to curry favor with the Ning family. How would he dare to break off the engagement?
Besides, Ning Siyuan is as cold as an iceberg. She's beautiful, ruthless, and strong. How would I dare to provoke her? "
Qi Huanzhi complained again and again, with a pitiful look.
Ji Tianxing continued to ask, "Your father forced you to defeat Yuwen Jie because of the Cave of Dark Light, right?"
Qi Huanzhi nodded. "Yes, it's not a secret. You can ask anyone about it.
The martial arts competition will be held in two days.
Not to mention that I can't beat Yuwen Jie, the other four young masters will also be beaten to a pulp by Yuwen Jie.
But Yuwen Jie is very arrogant. Every time he beats us, he humiliates us and makes a few cold gestures, making the girls in the city scream … "
Ji Tianxing could tell that Qi Huanzhi was prejudiced against Yuwen Jie.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Since Miss Ning is engaged to you, then she's your fiancée.
Since she came to Qingshan City, she can represent your Qi family in the martial arts competition.
I heard that she's also a half-step Divine Sovereign. She should be able to match Yuwen Jie. "
Qi Huanzhi stared straight at Ji Tianxing and smiled bitterly. "Brother, why are you like my father?"
"???" Ji Tianxing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Bah, what I mean is …" Qi Huanzhi reacted and quickly corrected himself. "Why do you think the same as my parents?"
"Can't I?" Ji Tianxing asked.
"Of course not!" Qi Huanzhi put down his wine cup and explained, "Although I'm engaged to Ning Siyuan, I'm marrying into her family. I'll be ridiculed by the world!
Besides, I don't like her, and she looks down on me. Why would she help me?
Besides, the City Lord's Mansion and the other aristocratic families know that she's the daughter of the Ning family. She won't marry into my Qi family.
Even if she wants to participate, the City Lord's Mansion and the aristocratic families won't agree. "
"I see." Only then did Ji Tianxing understand the situation. He muttered, "I thought she came to Qingshan City at this time to help your Qi Clan."
Qi Huanzhi waved his hand. "You're overthinking, overthinking."
Ji Tianxing asked again, "Is the Dark Light Cave really that important?"
"Of course." Qi Huanzhi explained in a firm tone, "Let me put it this way. Our Qi family's pet business can earn us hundreds of millions of Divine Stones a year.
But one year of mining in the Dark Light Cave is equivalent to twenty years of business for my family! "
"No wonder the aristocratic families are jealous." Ji Tianxing nodded to show that he understood.
Qi Huanzhi smiled bitterly. "It's useless to be jealous. Yuwen Jie is abnormally strong!"
Ji Tianxing asked again, "Every aristocratic family can send two people to participate in the battle. Your Qi family is so rich. Don't you have other experts?"
"Don't mention it!" Qi Huanzhi shook his head and said, "My talent is already the highest in the Qi family, but I forced myself to reach the ninth stage."
Ji Tianxing frowned and asked in confusion, "Only the family's disciples can participate in the battle. Can't they send their family retainers and masters?"
Qi Huanzhi was stunned for a moment and nodded. "That's possible!
However, the participants must meet two conditions: under a thousand years old and under the Divine Lord Realm.
Those who meet these two conditions and can defeat Yuwen Jie are definitely geniuses. Why would they come to a small place like Qingshan City? "
After a moment of silence, Qi Huanzhi suddenly thought of something and stared at Ji Tianxing with shining eyes.
"Brother Tianxing, you're asking so many questions. Don't tell me … you want to help me solve my problem?"
Ji Tianxing thought to himself, We've talked for so long and you only reacted now. Isn't your reaction too slow?
He thought so but he wouldn't say it out loud.
He cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Young Master Qi and I hit it off at first sight and you've taken good care of me.
If I can help you with this, I'll do my best. "
Qi Huanzhi's eyes lit up as he asked with anticipation, "Brother Tianxing, do you meet the conditions to participate in the battle?"
"Of course."
"Then do you have the confidence to defeat Yuwen Jie?" Qi Huanzhi was even more expectant.
Ji Tianxing smiled and nodded. "Easy as pie!"
