Chu Qingyi left. Lu Zhan glanced at Qin Wentian as he sighed and left as well. He was extremely unwilling to be embroiled in the internal conflict of the Snowdrift Sage Hall, but there was no way to avoid it.
Qin Wentian calmly watched everything that happened. Although his heart was fluctuating, there weren't too many waves in it.
The holy maiden of the Snowdrift Sage Hall, Mo Xiaoxiao, wanted to fight against Chu Qingyi and she actually chose to use him as the target? This was truly a ridiculous thing. Did she treat him as the breakthrough point for Chu Qingyi? She was destined to be disappointed.
"What's your relationship with Qingyi?" Lu Yao curiously stared at Qin Wentian. From the conversation between Chu Qingyi and Qin Wentian, the two of them didn't seem to be good friends, let alone lovers. On the contrary, there seemed to be some grudge between the two of them. But since this was the case, why did Chu Qingyi not hesitate to ask for a Grand Recovery Pill to save him?
"There's no relationship at all." Qin Wentian calmly spoke. Lu Yao started, she smiled and shook her head, "It's fine if you don't want to say. There's still some time before the birthday banquet. You should recuperate well. Qingyi will think of a way to protect you."
"Many thanks." Qin Wentian nodded lightly to Lu Yao. This maiden was able to promise to take care of him in such an environment. She was truly a good friend.
As for his safety, it wasn't up to others to protect him.
The characters he needed to be wary of were immortal emperors, not a mere City Lord Manor. Dongsheng Heaven Emperor had invited an extremely powerful character to act. This was a troublesome matter. Unless there was an extremely powerful character protecting him, he mustn't appear in the line of sight of Dongsheng Heaven Emperor. He mustn't let Dongsheng Heaven Emperor know where he was.
For the next period of time, Lu Yao took good care of Qin Wentian. She would often brew some medicinal pills for Qin Wentian to consume. Qin Wentian originally didn't need these, but upon seeing Lu Yao's insistence, he thanked her for her kind intentions and didn't reject her. At the same time, his body was recovering unceasingly, slowly recovering from his injuries. His spirit, qi, and spirit were gradually recovering, and his damaged muscles, bones, meridians, and even his fleshly body were all recovering.
"Have you gone mad? You are actually still feeding him medicinal pills. Could it be that you don't know the situation we are in now?"
"Lu Yanxue's cultivation base is rumored to have already reached the mid-stage of the immortal king realm. What cultivation speed is that? Her talent is outstanding and she is highly regarded in the Snowdrift Sage Hall. When she came to attend the birthday banquet, it would surely cause a huge commotion. At that time, experts from Lu Yanxue's faction would be as common as the clouds. Yet, you are still taking care of this young man?
"That's right, immediately capture him and hand him over to Mo Xiaoxiao. Don't forget about Chu Qingyi."
Sounds of quarreling drifted over from outside. Although it was some distance away, Qin Wentian could still hear it. Qin Wentian's immortal sense extended out and after that, he saw a group of young men from the Lu Clan walking over to Lu Yao. All of them had cold expressions on their faces as they berated Lu Yao impolitely.
"When Qingyi was here, why didn't any of you stand out to speak up? Now that Qingyi has entrusted him to me, you guys actually dare to stand out?" Lu Yao stared at the people of the same generation as her. She was so angered that her body trembled. She was truly provoked by the words of these people.
"Chu Qingyi is the holy maiden of the Snowdrift Sage Hall. We can't clash head-on with her. Now that she has left, maybe she doesn't even intend to care about this anymore. Yet, you guys are still stubbornly standing here. In addition, if we hand Qin Wentian over to Mo Xiaoxiao and Lu Zhanfei, even if Chu Qingyi returns and learns of this, she wouldn't be able to say anything, right?" A young woman coldly spoke.
"That's right, we can express goodwill to Mo Xiaoxiao. After all, in our Lu Clan, Mo Xiaoxiao's authority is much greater compared to Chu Qingyi." Someone added.
"Don't forget what Qingyi said before she left. It's true that you guys want to curry favor with Mo Xiaoxiao but if you really hand Qin Wentian over to Mo Xiaoxiao, Qingyi will definitely not rest until all of you are dead. You guys better consider the price carefully." Lu Yao's voice grew domineering, extremely cold, causing everyone to start as they hesitated.
A young man had an unsightly expression on his face as he spoke, "He's just a cripple yet you still want to protect him? This might even cause our bloodline to be punished by the clan leader. Lu Yao, you truly don't know what's good for you."
"Lu Yao, in the future, if anything happens to our bloodline, you will be the sinner." A group of people flicked their sleeves and left. Lu Yao was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. She stared at the departing figures, feeling extremely unhappy.
"A bunch of snobbish people." Lu Yao angrily spoke.
"Since you already know, why are you still so angry?" A voice drifted over. Lu Yao turned her head and saw Qin Wentian walking over. She involuntarily asked, "Sir Qin, did you hear everything?"
"Mhm." Qin Wentian nodded lightly. "Don't worry, these matters won't affect me."
"That's good. Sir Qin is still injured, please don't be angered or it might affect your recovery. Qingyi handed you over to me. Even if I can't help you fully recover, I definitely won't allow your injuries to worsen." Lu Yao smiled. Qin Wentian walked to the side of Lu Yao and smiled, "Lu Yao, do you have any wishes?"
"Why are you asking this?" Lu Yao stared at Qin Wentian curiously.
"You gave me the Great Recovery Pill and I've said that I will repay your kindness. Naturally, I'll keep my words. However, I don't know what you need. Hence, I'm asking if you have any wishes? Let's see if I can satisfy them." Qin Wentian smiled. Although he would be fine even if he didn't have the Great Recovery Pill, he was someone who could clearly differentiate between gratitude and grudges. The two of them were strangers who met by chance, he naturally had to repay this favor.
Lu Yao, on the other hand, started giggling, revealing a hint of simplicity and sunshine.
"What are you laughing at?" Qin Wentian started.
"I'm laughing at your stupidity. You can't even protect yourself, yet you're still asking me what wishes I have? Could it be that you can help me fulfill them?" Lu Yao rolled her eyes at Qin Wentian. Although she didn't believe him, she still gave off a comfortable feeling.
"I'm stupidity?" Black lines appeared on Qin Wentian's forehead. It was very rare for someone to talk to him like this.
"Isn't that so?" Lu Yao smiled mischievously when she saw the awkward expression on Qin Wentian's face.
"Naturally, my wish is actually very simple. I want to receive more attention from my clan and not be marginalized. However, my talent isn't considered to be at the peak in my clan. Hence, even though my wish is simple, it's actually very difficult. Powerful cultivation arts and innate techniques, alchemy techniques, as well as all sorts of magnificent divine weapons, I'm not fated to obtain them. More importantly, in the future, I won't be able to decide my own marriage. If my clan values me enough, maybe I'll have the right to make my own choice."
Lu Yao gazed into the distance as she sighed ruefully. But very quickly, she retracted her gaze and stared at Qin Wentian. "Why am I telling you all these? These are all empty words. Don't laugh at me."
"I won't." Qin Wentian shook his head. "Maybe I can really help you fulfill your wishes."
"Forget it, I'm already satisfied if I can fulfill one or two of them." Lu Yao shook her head. "Let's not think about these things for now. Let's get through this crisis first. This time around, during the birthday banquet, I'm afraid you won't have a good time. I wonder if Qingyi will be able to think of a solution."
"I'll be fine." Qin Wentian spoke in a light voice.
"I hope so. Young Master Qin, quickly recuperate. If you really can't do it, see if you can sneak out." Lu Yao spoke. Qin Wentian didn't say anything else and returned to his room to continue his recovery. His heavily injured body was gradually recovering.
As time flowed by, the birthday banquet of City Lord Lu finally arrived.
City Lord Lu's birthday banquet was held once every hundred years and the entire city was in an uproar. Today, the entire Coldnether Immortal City was in an uproar. Experts from the various major powers arrived and sent their congratulations. There were also many powers who directly left after sending gifts. They didn't even have the qualifications to enter the City Lord Manor. Those who were truly invited to the City Lord Manor all had extraordinary statuses.
Today, the vast City Lord Manor was extraordinarily bustling with activity. Only the Lu Yao Manor where Qin Wentian resided was exceptionally quiet. Clearly, the recent incident had affected the City Lord Manor, causing the status of Lu Yao's faction to change.
Lu Yao sighed in her heart. Seems like her wish would never be fulfilled. The distance between them grew further and further. At this moment, Qin Wentian walked out of his residence and moved towards the exit of the manor.
"Halt." Someone blocked Qin Wentian's path as he coldly berated.
Qin Wentian furrowed his brows, "My freedom is being restricted?"
"You only want to flee now? It's too late."
"Flee?" Qin Wentian stared at the person blocking him, "I don't have any grudges with the Lu Clan. Does your Lu Clan really intend to kill me?"
"That would depend on the City Lord's decision. In any case, before the matter regarding the grand recovery pill is resolved, you are not allowed to take a single step out of here." A person coldly spoke. Qin Wentian smiled, "Very good. I'm just afraid that at that time, if I don't wish to leave, you guys would beg me to."
After speaking, he directly turned and walked back only to see Lu Yao's silhouette flickering over. Her beautiful eyes were filled with anxiety.
"What's wrong?" Qin Wentian asked.
"Lu Yanxue has arrived and she brought many experts from the Snowdrift Sage Hall with her, including those from the same generation as her. The old man personally went out to welcome them." Lu Yao spoke. She stared at the guards as she coldly spoke, "Scram. Are you guys monitoring me?"
"Miss Lu Yao, please forgive us. We are only following orders." One of them coldly laughed, staring at Qin Wentian and Lu Yao with a mocking gaze.
"There's no need to make things difficult for them." Qin Wentian calmly spoke. Lu Yao's expression was filled with anxiety. At this moment, the sound of whistling wind drifted over from afar. Chu Qingyi has arrived. Lu Yao stared at her with anticipation in her eyes, only to see Chu Qingyi walking over. She stared at Qin Wentian, "No matter what, I will protect you no matter what."
When Lu Yao heard this, her heart sank unceasingly.
Qin Wentian stared at Chu Qingyi's resolute gaze as a smile appeared on his face. "Thank you, let's go to the banquet."
Chu Qingyi started when she saw the smile on Qin Wentian's face. After that, she solemnly nodded her head, "Okay."
For this trip to the Snowdrift Sage Hall, her elders told her not to interfere in the matters of the City Lord Manor. This was because Lu Yanxue's status in the Snowdrift Sage Hall was getting higher and higher.
At this moment, at the location of the banquet, many experts had already gathered. Their gazes were all fixed in the same direction. City Lord Liu and the other major characters were personally welcoming the guests. Each and every one of them was extraordinary, they soared through the air and flew towards the banquet.
"Yanxue, you have returned." City Lord Liu happily spoke.
"I naturally came to congratulate father on his birthday." Lu Yanxue appeared to be over thirty years of age. She was extremely beautiful and exuded an extraordinary aura. She landed on the ground and waved her hands, "Yanxue congratulates father on his birthday."
"Congratulations on City Lord Liu's birthday." Many disciples of the Snowdrift Sage Hall bowed in unison. City Lord Liu had a smile on his face as he spoke, "Yanxue, please be seated."
"Okay." Lu Yanxue nodded lightly.
"Martial aunt." Mo Xiaoxiao stood up and called out to Lu Yanxue.
"Aunt." Lu Zhanfei also called out.
Lu Yanxue glanced over and nodded her head to the two of them. Her radiance shone brightly as she directly sat on the host's seat. Many experts stood up and clasped their hands in greeting.
