Chapter 1468 - 1401: Gathered Together

Buzz!

Just as Qin Feiyang was about to send the maid to the ancient tower, Martial Marquis Shao suddenly reached out and said, "Wait a moment."

"What is it?"

Qin Feiyang looked at him suspiciously.

Martial Marquis Shao pondered for a while, then looked up at Qin Feiyang and cupped his hands, saying, "I have an unreasonable request."

"Speak."

Qin Feiyang said.

Martial Marquis Shao said, "I want Cai'er to go to your space-time artifact as well."

Qin Feiyang frowned and said, "Make it clear, this is not a shelter."

"I know."

"But now, the State Preceptor has set his sights on us. What if he makes a move against Cai'er?"

"I have only one daughter, and I don't want anything to happen to her, so consider it me begging you."

Martial Marquis Shao bowed.

Qin Feiyang said, "Aren't you afraid that I might harm your daughter? You must know I am not a good person."

Martial Marquis Shao smiled and said, "Although you are indeed not a good person, I still trust you in the face of the greater good."

Qin Feiyang shook his head with a smile, nodding, "Alright, I agree to your request, but you must also agree to one of my requests. This is a fair trade."

"Speak."

Martial Marquis Shao said.

Qin Feiyang said, "I need you to persuade other marquises to stand with me at a critical moment."

Martial Marquis Shao was stunned, frowning, "That might not be easy, as everyone now believes you killed the Emperor."

"Do you believe it?"

Qin Feiyang asked.

"I..."

Martial Marquis Shao didn't know how to answer.

Qin Feiyang said, "I can tell you clearly, the Emperor is not dead, nor is he imprisoned by me. Elder Qin and the Commander of the Kylin Army are aware of this."

"This..."

Martial Marquis Shao was dumbfounded.

"To be blunt,"

"Elder Qin and the Commander of the Kylin Army stand with me because they believe I wouldn't harm the Great Qin Empire."

"Of course, I won't force you. Whether you believe it or not is your freedom."

Qin Feiyang said blandly.

Martial Marquis Shao's eyes showed a struggle.

A moment later.

He nodded fiercely, "Alright, I believe you, and I will try to persuade the other marquises."

"Actually, convincing them is not difficult. The only thing to be wary of is that among these marquises, some may have already sided with the State Preceptor."

Qin Feiyang said.

"I understand."

Martial Marquis Shao nodded.

Qin Feiyang said, "Alright, now take out the image crystal stone to establish a contract bridge for future communication."

Once the contract bridge was established, Qin Feiyang disappeared with the three beasts and the two green-dressed women.

"Alas!"

"The future of the Great Qin is truly worrying!"

Martial Marquis Shao walked to the lakeside, looked at the sky, and let out a long sigh, a worry etched between his brows.

…

The ancient tower.

Above the medicine garden!

"Is this your space-time artifact?"

"It's too large!"

"And this medicine garden, heavens, how many medicinal herbs are there?"

Looking at the endless mountains around and the vast medicine garden stretching beyond the eye, the two green-dressed women were both in shock.

Qin Feiyang chuckled lightly and looked toward the center of the medicine garden.

In the center of the medicine garden, next to the Fortune Tree, stood a courtyard.

The courtyard was about a hundred feet around. Though not large and quite simple, it was very clean and tidy.

At this moment.

The old man, Lo Qianxue, Liu Zhi, and Yan Nanshan were seated at a stone table in the courtyard.

The old man and Yan Nanshan sat opposite each other, playing chess and drinking tea.

Liu Zhi and Lo Qianxue sat watching, laughter ringing out from time to time.

Currently.

The four of them were essentially the owners of this medicine garden.

They built a courtyard there intending to stay long-term.

Firstly.

It's quiet and peaceful, suitable for retirement.

Secondly.

It's convenient to manage the medicine garden, giving Qin Feiyang peace of mind.

And although their cultivation wasn't high, everyone within the ancient tower, humans and fierce beasts alike, knew their relationship with Qin Feiyang, so they respected them.

Moreover.

Whether it was the clan members of Yan Wei or the clan members of Wang Yangfeng, they all had to get permission before picking herbs.

Even the proud nine-star emperor beasts like Thunder Leopard, Sea Horse, and Sea Lion were very polite to the four.

Swish!

Qin Feiyang stepped forward and landed beside the four, smiling, "You are living the good life; I can't help but envy you."

Every time he saw the four elders, a sense of belonging and affection stirred within Qin Feiyang's heart.

"You've come."

The four put down what they were doing, looked up at Qin Feiyang, their faces full of doting affection.

To them, Qin Feiyang was like their own child.

Qin Feiyang nodded.

"Who are they?"

Seeing the green-dressed woman and the maid following, the four elders couldn't help but ask curiously.

Qin Feiyang replied, "She is the daughter of Martial Marquis Shao, and the other is her maid."

Yan Nanshan asked curiously, "What is the daughter of Martial Marquis Shao doing here?"

"Seeking refuge."

"Martial Marquis Shao has been targeted by the State Preceptor, so he allowed her to hide in the ancient tower for a while."

Qin Feiyang smiled.

"I see!"

The four suddenly understood.

The girl in green walked in front of the four people, politely bowed and said, "Junior Shao Cai'er, greetings to the four seniors."

The old man smiled and said, "Girl, since you've come here, you're family, don't be too formal."

"Alright."

Seeing the four people being so amiable, Shao Cai'er immediately relaxed and with a cheerful smile, ran behind the old man to massage his back and shoulders.

The old man was slightly taken aback, then looked at Qin Feiyang with a face full of enjoyment, laughing, "This little girl, I like her. Let her stay here and chat with us!"

Yan Nanshan, Lo Qianxue, and Liu Zhi all nodded in agreement.

"As long as you're happy."

Qin Feiyang said.

"So lively here!"

Suddenly.

A laughter echoed, as Elder Qin and Wang Yangfeng and others arrived, landing in the courtyard.

"Greetings, Elder Qin."

The old man and the others immediately stood up and bowed in greeting.

Elder Qin quickly waved his hand and said, "Please, you are all Qin Feiyang's elders, I truly cannot accept this."

"Pretending, keep pretending."

The three beasts scornfully looked at him.

"I'm speaking the genuine truth, why don't you believe me? Besides, I'm under someone else's roof now, even if I wanted to pretend, I couldn't!"

Elder Qin glanced at Qin Feiyang, shook his head and sighed, with a sense of being forlorn like a tiger bullied in the plains.

As for this, what else could Qin Feiyang say? He could only smile helplessly.

Anyway, as long as these old folks are happy.

"Elder Qin is here too!"

Shao Cai'er and the maid exchanged a glance, quickly stepping forward to greet him.

"You've come as well."

"It seems your father is someone who knows reason."

Elder Qin glanced at the maid, looked at Shao Cai'er and smiled.

Shao Cai'er said, "For others, I dare not speak, but my father's loyalty to Great Qin, I dare to stake my life on."

"I dare not trust your words alone, but I trust Qin Feiyang's judgment and discretion. Since he brought you here, it means Martial Marquis Shao is indeed trustworthy."

Elder Qin said.

Shao Cai'er glanced at Qin Feiyang.

What charm does this man have? Even Elder Qin trusts him so much?

Next.

Everyone gathered joyfully, chatting and laughing.

The Thunder Leopard turned its eyes, moved beside Wang Yangfeng, and whispered, "Old Wang, have you brought up the matter of opening the Door of Potential to him?"

The Sea Leopard and the Sea Horse also immediately joined in.

"Yes."

Wang Yangfeng nodded.

"How did he respond?"

The Thunder Leopard asked, looking quite anxious.

"Sigh!"

Wang Yangfeng sighed.

The others also hung their heads, looking disappointed.

The three beasts saw this, and immediately lowered their heads as well, feeling engulfed by disappointment.

But they didn't notice that when they lowered their heads, a teasing look flashed across the faces of Wang Yangfeng and the others.

"That damned old man, he's really excessive."

"Isn't he? Now he's eating and living with us, but won't even help with a small task."

"No way, I need Elder Qin to throw him out."

The three beasts complained indignantly.

Just as they were about to storm angrily towards Elder Qin, Wang Yangfeng's expression changed slightly, quickly sending a message, "Don't make a fuss, we were teasing you just now, he already agreed to help us open the Door of Potential."

"Teasing us?"

The three beasts were slightly stunned, then instantly became flustered and furiously glared at the group.

At this moment.

Qin Feiyang smiled and said, "Alright, you guys continue chatting, I'm going to check on my apprentice."

Although he enjoyed the feeling of everyone gathering together and chatting merrily, he knew that he currently wasn't qualified yet, many matters waited for him to handle.

"You have an apprentice too?"

Elder Qin looked at him in surprise.

Qin Feiyang said dissatisfied, "At least I'm a Four-star War Emperor now, what's wrong with having an apprentice?"

Elder Qin said indifferently, "Nothing much, I'm just worried you might lead someone astray."

The old man and the others couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.

Qin Feiyang felt helpless.

Was he really that bad?

Ignoring everyone's laughter, Qin Feiyang closed his eyes and quickly found Wang XiaoJie and Mu Chen.

Swish!

Immediately after.

Qin Feiyang opened his eyes, glanced at everyone, then concealed his aura and flickered, instantly arriving above a forest.

Inside the forest, the bushes were dense, wild grass lush, and ferocious beasts were everywhere.

However.

The cultivation of these beasts was not strong, mostly between Martial Artist and War Emperor.

Although these beasts were nothing to Qin Feiyang, to Wang XiaoJie and Mu Chen, they were deadly threats.

At this moment.

The two were being chased by several beasts, their hair messy, bodies covered in bloodstains, emitting a foul stench, resembling two beggars.

Wang XiaoJie shouted, "Since being thrown here, we've been chased by beasts every day, when will this ever end?"

"Complaining is useless, quickly think of a way to deal with them, or we'll be finished today."

Mu Chen was relatively calm.

After all, he had been through many things Wang XiaoJie hadn't in the Mu Family.

However.

Although they've been constantly chased by beasts lately, their combat awareness and courage have been growing daily.

Swish!

Suddenly.

A figure flashed out from within the forest, landed beside Qin Feiyang, bowed and said, "Greetings, young master."

This was a middle-aged man with Eight-star War Emperor cultivation.

"You are?"

Qin Feiyang asked, puzzled.

The man replied respectfully, "My name is Wang Yi, under orders of the ancestor, secretly protecting the two of them."

The ancestor he mentioned was naturally Wang Yangfeng.
