In the main hall, hundreds of people stared at Ye Qinghan at the same time. There were warning looks and killing intent, but there were also people who avoided his gaze, unwilling to look him in the eye.
Mu Xiaoqi curiously watched the scene in front of her, somewhat confused.
At this time, Lu Zhan Tian coldly stared at the three prefectural gods and asked in a low voice, "Now that Brother Ye is in front of you, you can ask him if I forced a deal?"
The three prefectural gods didn't utter a word and were even more unwilling to look Ye Qinghan in the eye. Right now, the person they feared the most was Ye Qinghan.
The Manor Lord looked at Ye Qinghan. His deep eyes were like the boundless Milky Way, with no end in sight. No one knew what he was thinking, and no one dared to look him in the eye.
"Ye Qinghan, tell this old man, did Lu Zhan Tian force you to sell the Sevendespair Grass?" the Prefecture Lord asked in a low voice.
Ye Qinghan looked at Lu Zhan Tian and shook his head without hesitation. "In reply to Senior, this junior willingly sold the Sevendespair Grass to Brother Lu. I didn't force him to sell it. Moreover, if I didn't want to sell it, no one could force me."
The Prefecture Lord frowned and asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you know about the bounty for the Sevendespair Grass? Anyone who obtains the Sevendespair Grass will have a chance to marry Xiaoqi? They will also obtain an intermediate sword dao godhead! "
"I know," Ye Qinghan indifferently replied.
At this time, even Mu Xiaoqi was frowning at Ye Qinghan. His attitude clearly showed that he didn't care about Mu Xiaoqi and the Mu Clan at all!
"If you knew, why didn't you keep the Sevendespair Grass for yourself? If Lu Zhan Tian didn't threaten you, why would you give up this chance to reach the heavens in a single bound? Just one godhead alone is much higher than the price he offered you! "the Prefecture Lord coldly asked.
Ye Qinghan looked into the Manor Head's eyes and realized that he didn't seem to want Lu Zhan Tian to marry Mu Xiaoqi. The cold glint in his eyes reminded him to think carefully before speaking.
Lu Zhan Tian also understood the Manor Lord's intentions and couldn't help but look at Ye Qinghan with unease in his heart. His fate was completely in the hands of Ye Qinghan. Whether or not he could marry Mu Xiaoqi was also in the hands of Ye Qinghan.
Mu Xiaoqi was also staring at Ye Qinghan. She wanted to know why Ye Qinghan would give up such a good opportunity to rise to the top in a single bound. Pleasing Lu Zhan Tian was obviously not as beneficial as pleasing the Divine Mushen Estate Lord and the seventh princess.
Ye Qinghan smiled and cupped his fists. "The Princess is a peerless beauty. Eight or nine out of ten men in the world covet her beauty. Who is an exception to this? However, some people approach the Princess because they have bad intentions and want to curry favor with the powerful. Some people want to marry the Seventh Princess because they truly love her! "
The Manor Head nodded in agreement with Ye Qinghan's words. Mu Xiaoqi's face turned even redder. Ye Qinghan's words were the most ordinary praise, but they made her feel exceptionally comfortable.
Ye Qinghan continued, "The reason why I don't need this reward is firstly because I already have someone in my heart and I don't like to curry favor with the powerful."
With that, Ye Qinghan grabbed Emperor Ye's hand, telling everyone that Emperor Ye didn't lose to the Seventh Princess in terms of looks, talent, and battle prowess.
"Secondly, although this is the first time Brother Lu and I met, we felt like old friends at first sight. I really admire his way of doing things. He didn't try to take the Seven Extremes Grass by force like the others, nor did he threaten me. For the Seven Extremes Grass, he was willing to give up everything. I can see that he truly likes the Seventh Princess and isn't trying to curry favor with the powerful. As the saying goes, a gentleman doesn't take what others like. Even if he only pays a small price, I'm still willing to sell the Seven Extremes Grass to him! It has nothing to do with anything else, I'm just doing it willingly! "Ye Qinghan cupped his fists and said.
Ye Qinghan's words made Lu Zhan Tian's heart burst with joy. He clenched his fists and wanted nothing more than to rush up and hug Ye Qinghan. Ye Qinghan's words were more effective than a thousand vows of undying love!
Sure enough, the Seventh Princess's face turned red. She was imagining Lu Zhan Tian, a man who didn't even know how to say a gentle word on the battlefield, begging Ye Qinghan to sell the Seven Extremes Grass to him for her sake. Her heart felt warm.
"Are you really just doing it willingly?" The Manor Head looked down at Ye Qinghan with displeasure in his eyes. He still hoped that Ye Qinghan would change his words.
"Manor Head, please don't judge others by your own standards. May I ask if you have someone you love the most? If the person you love the most is deeply poisoned and is in urgent need of medicinal herbs, and it just so happens that someone has it at that time, will you do everything to buy it? I don't know if you will, but I will! I also hope that that person will sell it to me and not ask for a sky-high price! "Ye Qinghan said in a low voice.
"I understand Lu Zhan Tian's feelings, so I'm willing to sell the Seven Extremes Grass to him. If I were you, I would be very happy to give the Seventh Princess to such a man." Ye Qinghan said indifferently. "Of course, this will depend on the Seventh Princess's own wishes and your own wishes."
The Manor Head's gaze was cold. Lu Zhan Tian wasn't his son after all, even if he was his own nephew. How could he hand over the huge Divine Mu Estate to him? If he didn't hand it over to him and married the Seventh Princess to him, how could Long Fei Tian suppress Lu Zhan Tian from the military's Eagle Faction in the future?
How could Lu Zheng not understand the Manor Head's meaning? He couldn't help but sigh sadly. He knew that Lu Zhan Tian would definitely be disappointed this time. He clearly knew that he had failed, so he didn't want to tell Lu Zhan Tian about the bounty. He didn't want him to lose hope again when he had hope. Unfortunately, he still couldn't prevent today's arrival.
Mu Xiaoqi's eyes were a little dazed. She had a hazy love and admiration for Lu Zhan Tian, but she had never thought of marrying him. Now that things had happened so suddenly, she didn't know what to say. She didn't even know if she should refuse or agree.
The Manor Head was furious. He wanted to refuse the bounty, but he couldn't go back on his words openly. He only wanted to pressure Ye Qinghan and force Ye Qinghan to give him a reason. However, Ye Qinghan simply ignored his warning and helped Lu Zhan Tian instead.
"Manor Head, I don't believe that Ye Qinghan and Lu Zhan Tian didn't know each other before! Based on his testimony today, the two clearly knew each other. This is clearly a trap for you. I even suspect that they deliberately framed the Seventh Princess! "the Muchen Commandery God said angrily.
"I second that!"
"I also agree!"
"Manor Head, please reconsider. Marrying the Princess to a brute who is always fighting outside. If an accident happens, what will happen to the Princess in the future?"
Many of the officials stepped forward to express their opposition to the marriage between Lu Zhan Tian and Mu Xiaoqi.
Lu Zheng smiled bitterly. If he stood up for Lu Zhan Tian now, the Manor Head would be even more unwilling to let Mu Xiaoqi marry Lu Zhan Tian. He simply stepped forward and said through gritted teeth, "Manor Head, my son is indeed not worthy of the Seventh Princess. Please take back the bounty and reward my son in another way!"
Only then did the Manor Head nod in satisfaction. With Lu Zheng's words, he finally had a reasonable excuse to step down.
Boom!
Lu Zhan Tian fell to his knees and said in a low voice, "Manor Head, if Xiaoqi is willing to marry me, please grant my wish. If Xiaoqi is unwilling, Zhan Tian is willing to go to the borders and fight for the Divine Mu Estate. I will never return to the capital!"
