Empress, please have some self-respect. I am not your husband.

Qin Mansion.

Qin Xinyi, who had left the palace and returned home first, was filled with rage. She had never imagined that she would be humiliated in front of so many people.

And the one who humiliated her was none other than Lu Feng!

When Lu Feng first came to the capital, she felt that he had ill intentions, especially after Lu Feng agreed to participate in the competition, and Emperor Qian said that if he won, he would grant the two of them a marriage.

She mistakenly believed that Lu Feng wanted to get her through such despicable means, and at that time, in her mind, Lu Feng was a despicable person.

But after the first two matches, especially after today, Lu Feng's image in her mind had changed slightly, but she couldn't hold back her tears after Lu Feng refused.

It turns out that everything before was just wishful thinking on her part. In Lu Feng's eyes, she was not even worth a Jade Dragon Pill!

How could she, with her proud and arrogant nature, accept this?

At this moment, Qin Ming also returned home from court. Upon seeing his daughter's appearance, he, as her father, naturally understood what had happened and comforted her, "Alright, Xinyi, don't be angry. That kid is in big trouble."

"What trouble?" Qin Xinyi was a little surprised to hear her father say this, but she quickly regained her cold expression.

Why should I care about that bastard?

Qin Ming said irritably, "Isn't it all because of the Jade Dragon Pill? That kid just wanted the pill. If His Majesty hadn't stopped him, he probably wouldn't have been able to leave the martial arts arena. Countless ministers were angered by him and threatened to beat him to death in the palace!"

"Why?"

Qin Xinyi was even more puzzled. Qin Ming said helplessly, "You don't know, the Jade Dragon Pill is the number one divine pill in the world. It is said to be able to cure all diseases. The late emperor obtained one by chance many years ago and kept it as a national treasure. Later, when he heard that His Majesty was critically ill in his childhood, the late emperor used the Jade Dragon Pill to save His Majesty's life."

"Now that Lu Feng wants the Jade Dragon Pill, where does His Majesty find the means to produce it?"

"I can't believe it." Qin Xinyi understood after hearing her father's words.

Qin Ming nodded: "That's right. Only a few ministers know about this. To be honest, this kid is really resourceful. He was able to find out that the late emperor obtained a Jade Dragon Pill twenty years ago."

Qin Xinyi couldn't help but wonder, "What does he want the Jade Dragon Pill for? Could he have suffered some kind of injury? He doesn't seem like a martial artist."

"I don't know, but this kid looks sickly. He might have some incurable disease," Qin Ming said cursingly, as if to vent his anger for his daughter.

He then added, "Because of this incident, Lu Feng has decided to no longer interfere in the competition with Xi Chu. We don't know what other tricks Xi Chu will use next."

Qin Xinyi was startled: "You mean Lu Feng isn't participating in the third match?"

Qin Ming said matter-of-factly, "That's natural. Since His Majesty can't produce the Jade Dragon Pill, why would Lu Feng help? To be honest, I used to think quite highly of this kid, but unfortunately he's too good at offending people and too arrogant. How can he live long if he doesn't know how to restrain his brilliance at such a young age?"

Hearing him say that, Qin Xinyi's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and then she snorted coldly in her heart, what else could she do if she didn't participate?

My Great Qian Dynasty is full of talented people, and it can't function without you, Lu Feng?

……

Night quietly fell, and the stars dotted the night sky. As the capital of a country, the capital of Qian Kingdom was still very lively and prosperous, with cars and people coming and going on the streets.

Lu Feng, who was temporarily staying at the inn, raised his eyebrows slightly as he heard the footsteps approaching the door. Sure enough, a knock sounded the next moment: "Young Master Lu, my master invites you."

He stepped forward, opened the door, and immediately recognized the person as the one who had followed him when he left the palace during the day.

He asked casually, "Who is your master?"

The visitor said respectfully, "My master is Her Highness the Princess of Western Chu. Her Highness has already instructed me to prepare a sedan chair and invite Young Master Lu to the banquet."

Upon hearing that it was Yu Ningyan, Lu Feng clicked his tongue. This princess of Western Chu was quite interesting; she was humiliated in public during the day and then came to invite him at night.

He's someone who can take things in stride!

Let's see what tricks this guy is up to.

"lead the way!"

After leaving the inn and getting into a sedan chair, Lu Feng was carried all the way to the state guesthouse. To his surprise, Yu Ningyan made such a grand show of welcoming him, having everyone from the Western Chu delegation come out to greet him without any attempt to hide it.

Of course, those hateful and hostile gazes also showed the attitude of this group of people, but Lu Feng ignored them all.

"This bastard!"

Watching Lu Feng walk away like that, everyone gritted their teeth in hatred.

They arrived at a brightly lit house, where the person who had come to meet him knocked lightly on the door: "Your Highness, Young Master Lu has arrived."

The door opened, and a maid came out. She glanced at Lu Feng and said respectfully, "Please come in, young master."

After saying that, he left the courtyard with the people who were there to pick up Lu Feng.

Stepping over the threshold, Lu Feng entered the room. The room was brightly lit, exquisite, and elegant. In the center, a long table was set with what Lu Feng considered to be decent delicacies, after all, as a transmigrator, he was quite picky.

But when it comes to truly delicious food, it has to be people!

The woman had jet-blue hair, and her eyes seemed to hold the spirit of mountains and rivers. In particular, her light blue dress that revealed her shoulders made her skin look as white as snow under the lamplight. Combined with her stunningly beautiful face, even Lu Feng, with his discerning taste, would have to say that she was a feast for the eyes.

The table was not high; it was placed on a mat. Therefore, Yu Ningyan was kneeling on the cushion at this moment, with a pair of alluring light blue and silver embroidered shoes placed beside her.

"sit down."

Upon seeing Lu Feng arrive, Yu Ningyan showed no anger; instead, her pretty face held a slight smile, as if she were greeting an old friend.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Her Highness really is tolerant of what others cannot."

Since the other party had extended such a generous invitation, Lu Feng naturally wouldn't be stingy. He walked up to the mat and sat cross-legged on the cushion, which was undoubtedly somewhat impolite to Yu Ningyan.

However, Yu Ningyan still didn't say anything, responding to Lu Feng's words: "It's just serving tea, it's not a big deal."

As she spoke, Yu Ningyan picked up the wine pot and poured wine. Lu Feng could roughly guess what the Western Chu princess wanted to do by inviting him today.

Yu Ningyan placed the wine cup in front of Lu Feng and smiled slightly, exuding charm: "I misjudged you before. I did not expect that Young Master Lu is so talented. He first defeated the number one strongman of Western Chu with his ingenuity, and then defeated Wei Qingfeng with his amazing archery skills. Such skills are rare even in Western Chu. I never thought that he would be overshadowed by the pearl of this small Qian Kingdom."

"Young Master Lu, why don't you return to Western Chu with me? What Qian Kingdom can give, I can give as well."
