Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr However, just as the competition between the younger generation of the five great clans was about to begin, a piece of shocking news broke out in the stone city. Firstly, the Du family had only sent one person to participate in the competition, and his name was Du Shaofu. That foolish youth's name had long since shaken the entire stone city.
The second piece of shocking news was the engagement of the Qin family. The young mistress of the Qin family, Qin Xiaolu, was engaged to a youth named Cao Qitai.
It was said that on the day of the engagement, many imperial knights had gathered outside the Qin family residence to guard it. The family heads and city lords of the various great clans had also personally come to the Qin family residence. It was not difficult for outsiders to know that the youth named Cao Qitai was definitely not an ordinary person.
Even more unexpected was the news that Cao Qitai and Qin Xiaolu were engaged, and could be considered half a member of the Qin family. Therefore, in this competition between the younger generation of the five great clans, Cao Qitai would also represent the Qin family.
Standing on a pavilion in the stone city and gazing into the distance, the hazy mountains in the distance were shrouded in a layer of light gauze. The shadows were indistinct, sometimes far, sometimes near, sometimes distant, sometimes distant, like a few strokes of ink smeared across the blue horizon.
Qin Xiaolu stood on the pavilion, quietly gazing into the distance. On her rather beautiful face, there were tears in her eyes, both real and illusory.
"I hate!"
After a long while, Qin Xiaolu's lips parted slightly as she spat out two short words. Her long sleeves gently wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes. She knew that she had no other choice but to accept all of this.
"What are you doing standing here all alone?"
A rather refreshing and enchanting male voice sounded. Following which, a young man in a long gown appeared behind Qin Xiaolu. His figure was tall and slender. Coupled with his rather handsome face, he made people feel extremely comfortable looking at him.
"Cao Qitai, what are you doing here?" Qin Xiaolu turned around, looking at the youth behind her. There was some displeasure in her eyes, and even a trace of resentment that did not leave a trace.
Cao Qitai looked at Qin Xiaolu, still wearing a smile on his face. This smile was enough to make those love-struck girls lose their minds. He said softly, "You are my fiancée, I'm here to see you, is that not okay?"
"You should know that I didn't have a choice." Qin Xiaolu gently bit her lower lip with her pearly white teeth. She did not know why, but she felt an invisible pressure in front of this young man. This pressure caused her to feel very uncomfortable in her heart.
"Of course I know that you have no choice, but I also know that you are now my fiancée, aren't you?" Cao Qitai smiled.
"That's not my choice," said Qin Xiaolu, gritting her teeth. "I'll take my leave now. Excuse me." She stepped over Cao Qitai and left.
"My fiancé just arrived and you want to leave. Do you have something against me?" An enchanting smile still hung on Cao Qitai's face. However, he shifted his feet slightly and intentionally blocked Qin Xiaolu's path.
"Cao Qitai, do you think you can restrict me just because you're my fiancé? You're not enough!"
Qin Xiaolu's pretty face immediately sunk. Her slender jade-like hands rapidly formed a dazzling arc, resembling two agile snakes. In the time it took to catch her breath, she had already formed a palm imprint that directly slammed towards Cao Qitai.
"The mysterious level of the Xiantian stage. Your talent is pretty good."
As he spoke, Cao Qitai's expression became a lot more gloomy. His hand seals changed and his right hand gently drew a line. A faint energy shot out. Although it seemed slow, it was actually as fast as lightning. The energy fluctuation carried a dark and cold aura as it instantly slammed against Qin Xiaolu's palm imprint.
"Bang!"
The two attacks collided, causing the surrounding space to ripple. Qin Xiaolu's figure was also sent flying, her body violently landing several meters away.
"Urgh!"
A mouthful of dark red blood was spat out from her tender red lips. When Qin Xiaolu raised her head and looked at Cao Qitai again, a look of disbelief gushed out from her eyes. Her gaze was complicated, filled with shock, shock and loss.
"I'm not the Bai Family's Bai Tianming. You better understand your own position. Regardless of whether you are willing or not, your Qin Family begged my Cao Family to get engaged with you. If you have no choice, then accept the result. Honestly speaking, the reason why I'm getting engaged with you is because you have some beauty. Your Qin Family also has some uses. Everyone is well aware of this. Otherwise, I don't lack women like you. "
Cao Qitai looked down at Qin Xiaolu from above. His expression did not change at all, as if the woman who had just been sent flying had nothing to do with him. His gaze was even filled with coldness as he softly said, "I also know that you seem to have some thoughts about the Chi Family's Hui Long. However, don't blame me for not telling you. If I hear anything in the future, think of the consequences and your entire Qin Family. You are not a stupid woman, I believe that you will know what to do."
Qin Xiaolu stood up. When she saw the coldness in Cao Qitai's eyes, her delicate body trembled. Only now did she know what kind of person the man in front of her was. He was a demon. His previous gentleness and elegance was all an act.
"It seems that you have understood. It's good that you understand. After all, we will be husband and wife in the future. We are a family."
The gloomy expression on Cao Qitai's face instantly disappeared. He gently walked in front of Qin Xiaolu and held her beautiful face in his hands. He lifted his sleeve and gently wiped away the dark red bloodstains on her red lips. He said in an extremely tender and heartbroken voice, "I'm sorry, Xiaolu. I was a little too heavy-handed. Forgive me, I won't fight with you again next time. That Du Shaofu hurt you last time. When the time comes, I'll help you make him pay the debt."
Qin Xiaolu stood there in a daze. There was some uneasiness in her eyes as she allowed Cao Qitai to manipulate her. In the end, she was gently embraced by Cao Qitai. From afar, they looked like a couple who were deeply in love.
Indeed, they were even more intimate than a couple.
In the Du Family, Du Shaofu left early and returned late every day. Sometimes, he would not even appear for several days. For almost a month, Du Shaofu spent 90% of his time in the back mountain.
However, for Du Shaofu, this month was a great harvest. Not only did he make substantial progress in alchemy and the cultivation of his mental strength, but he also made great progress in the cultivation of martial arts.
However, whether it was in the cultivation of martial arts or Talisman Master, Zhen Qingchun even suppressed Du Shaofu's speed of progress.
According to Zhen Qingchun, whether it was martial arts or Talisman Master, the foundation was the most important thing. The foundation determined the height of the future.
It was rumored that the descendants of the powerful forces and the ancient clans who possessed ancient inheritances would deliberately suppress their cultivation at the beginning to make their foundation as solid and perfect as possible. Once such a terrifying figure emerged, they would be invincible in the same realm. They could even kill opponents who were at a higher realm.
This made Du Shaofu extremely shocked. He could not help but be a little fascinated. He did not know how he would compare to his peers in the legendary great forces and clans. When the time came, would he be able to compare with those geniuses?
Du Shaofu also gained a lot of knowledge about Talisman Masters from Zhen Qingchun. It was an eye-opener for him.
Occasionally, Zhen Qingchun would talk about some things outside. The more he knew, the more Du Shaofu understood how important absolute strength was in this world.
On the rock, Du Shaofu sat cross-legged. A mysterious handprint was changing in his hands. At this moment, there were unpredictable circles of light lingering around his body. Traces of extremely special energy fluctuations also spread out from Du Shaofu's forehead. These fluctuations were getting stronger and stronger.
"Can this abnormal bastard succeed?"
Not far away, Zhen Qingchun's illusory figure looked at Du Shaofu, who was sitting cross-legged on the rock. At this moment, his expression was extremely nervous and expectant.
