Chapter 559: Mysterious Anya
After Qin Feng learned about the marriage proposal from Qing’er, he hurried to the lobby and happened to see Anya walking towards a secluded corner with the Minister of Rites.
“Why are you here?” Qin Feng asked in surprise.
Anya smiled ambiguously, “Brother Qin, what you said is too unreasonable.”
“You’ve already entered the fourth realm of the Literature Saint Dao Lineage, the realm of the free and unrestrained. As your friend, I naturally ca to congratulate you.”
“You can’t be like this. Just because you have two beautiful won at ho, you forgot about , your friend. In recent days, you haven’t actively sought
out for a eting.”
“Why do I feel that you’re trying to bla ?” Qin Feng looked at the middle-aged man beside Anya and pondered over his words. After all, he couldn’t be sure if this person knew Anya’s true identity.
anwhile, the Minister of Rites lowered his head, watching with his eyes, focusing on his nose and pondering in his heart.
If he had seen Qin Feng before, he would have been very attentive and introduced his own daughter. However, the current situation made him feel extrely uncomfortable, as if he had a thorn in his side and a fishbone stuck in his throat.
He wanted to escape from this place, but he was afraid of offending Princess Anya, which would make him feel even more miserable.
Moreover, after their conversation just now, he was even more convinced that there must be so unknown secrets between Princess Anya and Qin Feng.
For the tone that Princess Anya had just used was very similar to the one his wife had used when he had gone to sleep in the concubine’s room at night.
‘Wait, will I get into big trouble if I stay here and listen to these words?’ Master Zhang’s heart imdiately leapt to his throat, and his legs began to tremble.
After so thought, Qin Feng truthfully replied, “As you know, after the establishnt of the Peaceful Academy, there were too many things I had to do. Even the businesses in the Imperial City have been completely entrusted to others, and I simply do not have any free ti.”
Anya picked up the folding fan in her hand and tapped her own head, “Look at my mory, I’m a bit ignorant, Brother Qin.”
“I almost forgot, the current you is already very different from before, where is the ti to worry about us old friends?”
Qin Feng’s face stiffened, “Can you speak properly?”
“What do you an, Brother Qin? I always speak like this on normal days. Maybe it’s because we haven’t seen each other for too long, so you’ve forgotten how I speak.” Anya still had a faint smile on her face.
Enough of this sarcasm, Qin Feng’s mouth twitched, “I won’t disturb you anymore. If you have ti later, stay for lunch. I have sothing to do, so I’ll go to the hall first.”
As he walked past Master Zhang, Qin Feng stopped and asked worriedly, “Sir, you’re shaking so badly, could it be that you’ve caught a cold? I happen to be a physician and can take a look for you.”
“No, that’s not necessary. I’ve already made so herbal soup at ho, I’ll go back and take it, and then I’ll sleep well. This ti I ca to congratulate Master Qin on successfully overcoming the disaster and entering the Fourth Realm.” Master Zhang wiped the cold sweat from his brow and replied with a dry smile.
“You’re too kind, sir.” Qin Feng bowed respectfully, said goodbye and left.
As soon as his figure was completely out of sight, Master Zhang knelt down with a thud and said, “I pay my respects to Princess Anya.”
At that mont, Princess Anya also ca to her senses. Thinking about the different tone she had used just now, her face couldn’t help but blush slightly. She controlled her emotions and said calmly, “What did you see just now?”
Mr Zhang hastily shook his head, “This subordinate has indeed caught a cold. Just now, the cold wind made it worse. My head was dizzy and I couldn’t rember anything. Cough, cough.”
At that mont, he wished he could cough up so blood to make it even more convincing.
“Alright, let
ask you, why were there so many officials here today to offer gifts? Could it be that they all want to curry favour with the Qin family?”
“Well…” Master Zhang was speechless for a mont, unsure if he should tell the truth.
On the other side, Qin Feng arrived at the hall and felt that the atmosphere was sowhat subtle.
Everyone was silent, looking in the direction outside the hall as if waiting for sothing.
Second Mother spoke up, “Feng’er, why have you co?”
Qin Feng replied, “Second Mother, I know the purpose of these officials coming to the Qin Mansion. I have co here to express my own thoughts.”
He looked around and folded his hands respectfully, “Esteed officials, I thank you for your consideration towards . However, I already have two wives, and I truly have no intention of taking concubines.”
Upon hearing this, Lan Ningshuang finally felt a stone lift from her heart.
The officials in the hall looked at each other. With Master Zhang, their leader, and the mysterious young man gone, and the matter of finding a match seemingly at an impasse, so of them sighed and stood up first, clenching their fists.
“We congratulate Young Master Qin on his progress in cultivation. We will take our leave.”
One person took the lead, and the others followed suit, relentlessly pushing forward according to their status, which only made them a laughing stock.
But at that mont, Qin Feng spoke again, “Please, everyone, hold on.”
Lan Ningshuang’s heart tightened.
Father Qin and Second Mother, who were sitting across from him, also looked puzzled.
“Young master Qin, what else do you have to say?”
Qin Feng smiled faintly, “Although I have no connection with the respected families here, my younger brother is still on his own.”
“He is outstanding in appearance, astounding in martial arts talent, and is even under the tutelage of the Southern Domain’s legendary warrior, Mad Blade Zhen Tianyi. His future is limitless.”
“I wonder if the esteed families have any considerations in this regard?”
As soon as these words ca out, everyone was stunned, and then beca ecstatic.
Of course, they had heard about the second young master of the Qin family. He had already left the Qin family and gone off with Zhen Tianyi on adventures in the Southern Domain.
And soone who was favoured by Zhen Tianyi couldn’t be ordinary, right?
Add to that the fact that he had an elder brother like Qin Feng.
“To be honest, Young master Qin, my youngest daughter is incomparably beautiful, talented in singing and dancing, a perfect match for the second young master of your esteed family!”
“My youngest daughter’s martial arts talent is exceptional, and she has already joined the Sword Alliance. In ti, she will surely make a na for herself! A man and a woman, a sword and a saber, aren’t they a perfect match?”
The crowd seed to have been injected with chicken blood as they eagerly introduced their daughters.
Father Qin was stunned, and the Second Mother didn’t react imdiately.
It wasn’t until Qin Feng spoke up to remind her, “Second Mother, you’ve always wanted to arrange a marriage for Second Brother. Isn’t this the perfect opportunity?”
“Yes, Feng’er is right!” Second Mother exclaid urgently. “Qing’er, quickly get
a pen and paper!”
Qin Feng looked at the lively atmosphere in the hall and couldn’t help but feel that he was doing a comndable job as the eldest brother.
‘Second Brother probably couldn’t even dream that when he returned from his journey, his big brother would have already found him a wife.’
‘But I rember that his relationship with Bai Qiu seems to be quite delicate?’
‘Oh well, the Southern Domain is so vast, how could they possibly et again? Maybe they are just passers-by in life.”
Since the guests had not yet left, Qing’er was busy again while Lan Ningshuang went to the kitchen to heat up so tea.
On her way back, she happened to hear Minister Zhang’s slightly trembling voice from behind the trees – “Princess Anya, this is what happened.”
Princess Anya?
Lan Ningshuang was surprised, she cautiously poked her head out only to see the elegant young man in white saying lightly, “You are imperial officials, how can you spend your days thinking about such things all day long?”
“As for today’s matter, I can pretend not to know, but in the future-“
“Princess, rest assured, there will be no future!” Minister Zhang said firmly.
When Lan Ningshuang saw this scene, she hurriedly took her head back with a look of disbelief.
How could she have imagined that the acquaintance she knew, the elegant young man Ya’an, was not only disguised as a man, but also a princess of the current dynasty!
“Wait a minute. With such a distinguished status, why does she often accompany the young master? Could it be?”
