"This … the person who took off her veil wasn't me … it was that cat."
Zhao Feng couldn't help but cry out. The person who took off the veil wasn't him, so how could he be blamed?
At the critical moment, he wanted to pull the little thieving cat down with him, but the little fellow had already hidden into the Spiritual Pet Bag and was sleeping.
"Don't try to deny it. That thieving cat is your spiritual pet and its actions are also under your orders. As a beast tamer, spiritual beasts are your weapons. "
A smile of success appeared on the Flooding Lake City Lord's face.
The people nearby all congratulated the Flooding Lake City Lord.
"Congratulations to the City Lord for getting such a good son-in-law."
"Hehe. We're going to attend the City Lord's wedding. "
Many of these people were at the True Spirit Realm and were extremely respectful towards the Flooding Lake City Lord. Their words were filled with flattery.
Zhao Feng finally understood that the Flooding Lake City Lord was able to cover the sky with one hand.
Everyone agreed with the Flooding Lake City Lord's words without any objections.
Right now, even if he had a hundred mouths to cry out, it would be useless.
Zhao Feng's thoughts spun and he soon thought of a plan.
"Now that things have come to this, it's impossible for me to reject this marriage. I can only continue to beat him at his own game and gain the trust of the Flooding Lake City Lord before I have a chance to escape. "
Zhao Feng knew that going against the Flooding Lake City Lord was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Since going against the Flooding Lake City Lord didn't work, then he would go with the flow.
Zhao Feng soon acted as if he could only accept reality helplessly.
"Good brat. My daughter's looks and temperament are both hard to find. She even gave way to you in the martial arts competition. Which part of her isn't good enough for you? "
The Flooding Lake City Lord's expression was slightly grim as an overbearing aura of the True Spirit Realm spread through the air. Even those at the True Spirit Realm nearby felt pressured.
Zhao Feng smiled bitterly and said, "This junior only wishes to see the City Lord's daughter's beauty, so this trip will not be in vain. As for marrying Miss Qinxin, this junior thinks that I am not worthy of her, so I don't dare to have such a delusion."
Hearing this, the Flooding Lake City Lord's expression warmed up and he smiled, "You don't need to belittle yourself. The person this City Lord has chosen will never be wrong."
The people around him laughed it off.
In everyone's eyes, the fact that Zhao Feng could become the Flooding Lake City Lord's son-in-law meant that he was climbing up the social ladder.
At this moment, Zhao Feng felt the jealous, envious, and unwilling gazes of the numerous young geniuses below the stage.
Liu Qinxin's eyes were filled with a trace of bitterness and unwillingness.
Obviously, in her heart, Zhao Feng was not the ideal husband.
This was because Zhao Feng was younger than her. More importantly, his cultivation and strength were inferior to hers.
In this aspect, no one in the younger generation of the Flooding Lake City could meet Liu Qinxin's requirements.
Her ideal husband should be a man of indomitable spirit, or an unparalleled comet genius who could create miracles and was unparalleled in the world.
However, this azure-haired one-eyed youth in front of her didn't meet her requirements in terms of appearance, age, cultivation, and achievements.
But what could she do? Her Master had left such a will and even told her to change her name to Liu Qinxin.
Her original name wasn't Liu Qinxin.
"Could it really be fate?"
Liu Qinxin was unwilling as she looked at the 'Son of Destiny' in front of her. The more she looked at him, the more bitter and complicated her heart became.
Zhao Feng had already regained his calm and he calmly responded to everyone's congratulations.
"Liu Yuan, from today onwards, Zhao Feng will be staying in the City Lord's Palace. Go back and tell the family."
The Flooding Lake City Lord ordered.
"Yes."
Liu Yuan said respectfully.
Zhao Feng was originally a talent that the Liu family had recruited, but now that he had become the City Lord's son-in-law, they were one family.
"Congratulations, Brother Zhao. You're so lucky to be able to marry Lady Qinxin. "
Liu Yuan's emotions were complicated. He was filled with envy and unwillingness. What kind of fortune did this brat have?
Not only was Liu Qinxin's status noble, her beauty and temperament were top-notch. Even her cultivation and talent surpassed the younger generation of the Flooding Lake City.
Such a talented and beautiful woman, a woman who combined nobility, beauty, and wisdom into one, would be a dream for anyone to marry her.
"Qinxin, take Feng 'er back to the Palace first. I'll be there soon."
The Flooding Lake City Lord said to his daughter.
Liu Qinxin faintly nodded her head and turned into a slender white figure that flew into the City Lord's Palace like a graceful swan.
Zhao Feng could only follow and with a crackle of lightning, his figure faded as he entered the City Lord's Palace.
Liu Qinxin's speed was extremely fast and she purposely passed through some buildings, trees, and fake mountains. Her figure soon disappeared from sight.
She seemed to want to get rid of Zhao Feng.
But no matter how big the City Lord's Palace was, it was still a city within a city. Zhao Feng's left eye locked onto Liu Qinxin's position and he quickly followed.
Liu Qinxin sat in the living room and thought that the azure haired brat would definitely have to spend some effort to get here.
However, just as she was sipping her tea, a crackle of lightning came from outside.
Zhao Feng then slowly walked into the living room and sat opposite Liu Qinxin.
"Could it be that he's very familiar with the City Lord's Palace? Does this person have any ill intentions towards me or the Liu family? "
Liu Qinxin was shocked, but she was also suspicious.
Coincidentally, at this moment, Zhao Feng was inspecting the first 'wife' of his life. She had an elegant figure, slender but not lacking in curves. Her eyes were like the autumn water and her eyebrows were like a brush. She had a poetic aura to her.
From a certain point of view, Zhao Feng found that he couldn't find a reason to reject her.
However, he had seen quite a few beauties in his life and his heart had always been as calm as water.
Liu Qinxin saw Zhao Feng stare at her and felt disgusted at first. However, she couldn't feel any other thoughts from his gaze. It was pure admiration.
This surprised Liu Qinxin. Over the years, although she wore a veil, most men couldn't hide their desires when they looked at her.
The youth in front of her seemed to be covered in a layer of mist. His eyes were sharp and didn't avoid her gaze.
Just like that, the two of them sat facing each other in silence.
Until the Flooding Lake City Lord walked into the living room.
"Feng 'er, from today onwards, you will stay in the City Lord's Palace. It's best if you don't leave the Flooding Lake City. Someone will take care of everything for you. "
The Flooding Lake City Lord sat there.
Zhao Feng didn't object. He stood up and suggested, "This junior isn't prepared for marriage. Furthermore, this concerns Miss Qinxin's happiness. I hope it won't be rushed …"
He was afraid that the City Lord would force him to marry Liu Qinxin immediately.
In that case, all of Zhao Feng's plans and schemes would be for naught.
Hearing this, the City Lord smiled, "Don't worry, it won't be that fast."
In reality.
The Flooding Lake City Lord didn't want Zhao Feng and Liu Qinxin to get married so quickly. Before that, he needed to investigate Zhao Feng's background.
It could be said that the Flooding Lake City Lord and Zhao Feng both had their own plans.
That night.
Zhao Feng was placed in the City Lord's Palace and he enjoyed good treatment. He had his own villa that was near a mountain and a river.
The housekeepers and servants of the city lord's palace were also extremely respectful toward Zhao Feng.
Everyone knew that he was the future Young Master of the City Lord's Palace.
Zhao Feng sat cross legged and his God's Spiritual Eye looked around the villa.
In order to prevent Zhao Feng from sneaking away, the City Lord sent a total of four experts at half step True Spirit Realm and one at the True Human Rank to watch him.
"This Flooding Lake City Lord really thinks highly of me."
Zhao Feng's heart dropped. The situation was worse than he had imagined.
Luckily, his plan had started. As long as the Flooding Lake City Lord didn't force him to get married immediately, there was hope.
A few days ago.
Zhao Feng didn't move. Apart from cultivating, he would go to the City Lord's Palace's Hidden Book Pavilion and expand his knowledge.
Being the Flooding Lake City Lord's son-in-law, apart from a few forbidden areas, Zhao Feng was unobstructed in the City Lord's Palace.
Of course, the four experts at half step True Spirit Realm and one at the True Spirit Realm would also keep an eye on Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng calmly increased his knowledge in the Hidden Book Pavilion and even came into contact with some profound skills.
Through the City Lord's Palace's Hidden Book Pavilion, Zhao Feng gained a deeper understanding of the Canopy Great Country and the entire Northern Continent.
After a few more days, Zhao Feng slowly walked out of the City Lord's Palace.
According to the Flooding Lake City Lord's intentions, as long as Zhao Feng didn't leave the Flooding Lake City, no one would stop him.
If Zhao Feng was willing, he could even have a large group of guards following him.
In these days, the Flooding Lake City Lord had investigated Zhao Feng's background and found that he wasn't from the Canopy Great Country, but from a remote area.
Knowing this, the Flooding Lake City Lord relaxed. He was mainly worried that Zhao Feng came from an enemy force and had bad intentions towards the Liu family.
On the other hand, Zhao Feng's background was very clean and he didn't come from the Great Country. Instead, he came from a remote area and didn't have any enmity with the Liu family.
On this day.
Zhao Feng sat cross legged and started to cultivate.
In his mind, the three-story pavilion that represented the Lightning Inheritance could be seen clearly.
The first floor of the pavilion was bright and clear.
"I'm about to reach the peak of the first floor of the Lightning Inheritance."
Zhao Feng was full of expectation.
The Lightning Inheritance had a total of three floors and if he could reach the peak of the third floor, he would have a chance to break through to the Origin Core Realm. From this, one could see how powerful the Floating Crest Palace was.
After all, those at the True Lord Rank were the rulers of a region and those at the Origin Core Realm were only heard of in legends.
At this moment.
Zhao Feng let out a breath. The escape plan in his heart had been completed and he was at least 80% confident.
On the same night, the Flooding Lake City Lord summoned Zhao Feng.
Apart from the Flooding Lake City Lord and Liu Qinxin, there were also a few other people in the hall. Even the Head of the Liu family was present.
Today, the Flooding Lake City Lord summoned Zhao Feng for the engagement.
"Zhao Feng, the wedding is in half a year, what do you think?"
The Flooding Lake City Lord asked.
"Nothing, I'll listen to the City Lord's arrangements."
Zhao Feng respectfully accepted the order.
The Flooding Lake City Lord nodded his head in satisfaction.
Liu Qinxin, on the other hand, couldn't help but be disappointed. She hoped that Zhao Feng would stand up bravely and reject the engagement, even though he would die a horrible death.
"Looks like he's the same as other men. He can't resist the temptation of wealth, power and beauty …."
Liu Qinxin sighed.
Since Zhao Feng didn't reject the engagement, the engagement was successfully set for half a year later.
Liu Qinxin helplessly became Zhao Feng's fiancee.
As for Zhao Feng's escape plan, he would start to plan it.
