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

Lu Feng was unaware that he had become the prey that the Princess of Western Chu was determined to possess, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

After all, it's still uncertain who the hunter and the prey are.

Qin Mansion.

Although Qin Xinyi was personally appointed as a female general by Ye Bingyun, she was, after all, a woman and therefore not qualified to attend court. If she wanted to know the contents of the court meeting, she could only wait until her father, Qin Ming, returned.

Because Lu Feng had rejected her so firmly before, she felt a tightness in her chest and couldn't help but recall Lu Feng's face.

He was clearly quite handsome, but now that I think about it, I just find him annoying.

That bastard! I explained everything to him clearly, but he's like a rock in a latrine, smelly and hard!

As citizens of Qian State, shouldn't we serve our country?

Does he really intend to stand by and watch those bastards from Western Chu seize the cities of Western Zhou?

When Qin Ming returned from court, he saw his beloved daughter looking resentful and couldn't help but exclaim, "Xinyi, who has upset you this time?"

"Father is joking. No one has provoked your daughter. How will the court meeting be today?"

Seeing her father, Qin Xinyi forced a smile. She couldn't take her anger out on her own father, could she?

"You have no idea, something big has happened."

Qin Ming said mysteriously, "That Wei Qingfeng has been killed!"

Qin Xinyi looked on incredulously: "Wei Qingfeng was murdered? How is that possible!"

"Indeed, as I saw it with my own eyes, he died a terrible death. According to the imperial physician's autopsy, he died at the hands of a top-tier second-rank expert. It's unbelievable that such a master is hidden in our capital! Even I find it hard to believe."

Qin Ming recounted the events of the court assembly to his daughter with deep emotion.

Qin Xinyi became excited: "Father, if we can find this person, at least our Qian Kingdom will have one more talisman to protect us! He is a second-rank expert, someone that even the royal families of the other three kingdoms would not dare to provoke easily!"

Qin Xinyi also cultivates martial arts, but her talent and aptitude are lacking, and she is only at the seventh rank now. Even so, she is called the number one female master in the capital by busybodies.

This shows how precious powerful martial artists are.

Qin Ming was both amused and exasperated: "My dear daughter, that's a second-rank expert. Even in Western Chu, Southern Jing, and Northern Qi, such a reclusive master is a rare and elusive figure. It's not something we can just find whenever we want."

"However, His Majesty has already ordered the Military Affairs Department to thoroughly investigate this matter, so perhaps they will find some clues."

"This is so great!"

Qin Xinyi's pretty face was filled with joy: "Father, do you think it's possible that this senior expert deliberately made a move to intimidate Western Chu? Or perhaps he was a former subordinate of the Crimson Flame War God?"

"The Crimson Flame God of War again."

Qin Ming sighed: "It is a well-known fact that the Crimson Flame War God has died in battle. If he were still alive, would the three kingdoms have dared to act so recklessly?"

Two years ago, during that battle, the royal families of the three kingdoms made it clear that each of them would invite the only three remaining Grandmasters in their respective countries, forming a total of nine Grandmasters to besiege the Crimson Flame War God.

No one knows the details of that battle, but everyone knows how brutal it was, because after that day, the Three Kingdoms had no more Grandmasters, and the Qian Kingdom had no more Crimson Flame War God.

Hearing her father's words, Qin Xinyi felt a pang of pain in her heart. The thought of the Crimson Flame War God dying for the Qian Kingdom, while someone else was living a carefree life in an inn, made her feel somewhat unbalanced.

Is this a case of good people not living long while evil ones live for a thousand years?

Thinking about Lu Feng's previous victories, Qin Xinyi decided to invite him again.

The next day.

Lu Feng didn't have any crazy dreams that day. He got up early and asked the waiter for paper and pen.

Since we've decided to use blood as a medicinal guide instead of the Jade Dragon Pill, we need to prepare several more doses and send a message to our old subordinates.

Just as he was about to write the letter, there was a knock on the door.

Thinking it was Bingyun, but seeing it was Qin Xinyi again, Lu Feng was a little disappointed, but still asked, "Miss Xinyi, what brings you here?"

In fact, he had guessed it.

As expected, Qin Xinyi's tone was much better than yesterday: "Lu Feng, I still hope you can participate in the next competition. You have already won two matches, and with you there, the Western Chu side will definitely feel a lot of pressure. You don't need to refuse in a hurry, you can think about it carefully before giving me an answer."

Lu Feng smiled and was about to say that he had changed his mind, but his gaze inadvertently swept over a spot on Qin Xinyi's body, and his pupils suddenly contracted!

He swiftly removed the object from Qin Xinyi's waist, then was overjoyed.

"This! This is yours!"

Qin Xinyi was startled. Seeing that her jade pendant had fallen into Lu Feng's hands, she was immediately displeased and snatched it back: "Of course this is mine!"

"It's you! It's actually you! How old are you? Twenty? Or twenty-one?"

Lu Feng was incredibly excited. The person he had been searching for all these years was actually Qin Xinyi. Was this what they called fate?

He remembered the words "Long Xuan" engraved on the jade pendant for eighteen years!

Qin Xinyi frowned: "So what if she's exactly twenty-one?"

Why is Lu Feng suddenly acting so strangely?

"It matches up! Haha, heaven has eyes!"

Lu Feng laughed three times: "I'll take on this third match! I'll definitely win so badly that Western Chu will have nothing to say!"

"Really?" Qin Xinyi was pleasantly surprised. She didn't understand why Lu Feng's attitude had changed so quickly, but it was a good thing that Lu Feng agreed.

"Of course it's true, I will definitely go. Miss Xinyi, would it be alright if I could visit your uncle at his residence tomorrow?" Lu Feng asked tentatively, suppressing his emotions.

Qin Xinyi hesitated for a moment before nodding: "Okay, I'll come pick you up then."

"That's good."

Although I don't know why Lu Feng suddenly changed his mind, it's a good thing as long as Lu Feng participates.

After achieving her goal, Qin Xinyi didn't linger for long, preparing to go back and tell her father the good news.

By the way, let my father inform the court officials that they should stop making sarcastic remarks about Lu Feng.

Lu Feng escorted her to the inn's entrance. Seeing Lu Feng still waving to her from the doorway, Qin Xinyi glanced at her jade pendant. She muttered to herself, "This guy, it seems he really was playing hard to get earlier. So cunning. Luckily, I didn't fall for it."

Lu Feng, who was standing at the entrance of the inn, couldn't hide the joy in his eyes. Memories of the past flooded back. Eighteen years ago, he had just transmigrated and was just a six-year-old kid facing a desperate situation.

A father and daughter who were passing by saved him. The kind-hearted little girl even gave him an ounce of silver. He remembered this life-saving kindness for eighteen years. At that time, the little girl was wearing Qin Xinyi's jade pendant.

All he knew was that the father and daughter were from the Qian Kingdom, which was why the Crimson Flame Legion's Crimson Flame War God had become the guardian deity of the Qian Kingdom!

Without that father and daughter, there would be no Lu Feng today.

After becoming famous, he mobilized all his resources to search for seven or eight years, but he never expected it to be Qin Xinyi!

"Old Master Qin, is it your spirit in heaven that blesses me to fulfill my wish? Your granddaughter saved me back then, and I in turn saved you by some twist of fate. This must be destiny, right? For this debt of gratitude, I, Lu Feng, will definitely protect the Qin family in Qian Kingdom!"
