149 Nine Dragons Sect’s Number One
Qin Huai, who was wearing a long green and white robe, walked in front.
“What… What is wifey busy with every day?” he asked casually, because he wanted to know more about the Li family and the Nine Dragons sect.
“When Miss left the Nine Dragons sect, it was actually considered an escape…” Qingshui stammered.
“Why?” Qin Huai was surprised, but when he saw Qingshui’s expression, he blurted out, “It can’t be to escape the marriage, right? ”
“Young Master, how did you know?” Qingshui was surprised as this was top secret. “This was what the Young Master guessed. Qing’er didn’t say anything.”
“Yes, yes, I know. Continue.” Qin Huai nodded.
Qingshui then explained in a low voice, “Back then, the family head actually wanted to arrange a marriage between the young miss and the young master of the Zhang family, so that the two families could put aside their past grudges and mend their relationship. They could work together to lead the development of the Nine Dragons sect.
“Old Master is looking for Young Miss… but she had already listened to the old Daoist of the Green Cloud Temple and believed that the will of heaven was in Pingnan. In the end, she took me and escaped…
“In addition, the elders in the family did not agree with Master’s absurd idea of a marriage with his ‘enemy,’ so they gave up and let Young Miss live a peaceful life in Pingnan.”
Qin Huai asked, “Then why did your young miss choose a place like Overflowing Fragrance restaurant?”
“Because Overflowing Fragrance restaurant has many men.”
The corners of Qin Huai’s mouth twitched, and he couldn’t find a reason to refute. It could only be said that Li Shaoxiang’s way of thinking was shocking.
“Master has no son and only one daughter,, so there are many things in the Li family that Young Miss has to deal with. As for her, she has been vacant for many years, so naturally, she has to fill it when she returns this time,” Qingshui said.
“I see.”
As the two of them spoke, they had already arrived in front of a platform that had been cut flat.
On the stage, there were some blood-red stones of the same size, about the height of two people. In front of the blood-red stones, the young men went up one by one and lifted the stones with great effort, then put them down.
Every time they lifted it up, the blood stone would emit a red light of different brightness.
“This is a blood stone. It’s used to test one’s vitality,” a gentle voice sounded from beside him.
Qin Huai looked over as well. The person was dressed in a green and white robe. His long hair fell over his shoulders, and he looked carefree and kind.
There was an aura that made people feel like they were bathing in the spring wind like their Senior Brother Qi Yangbing.
“Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother. May I know your name?” Qin Huai was a little surprised at this person’s identity. In this huge Nine Dragons sect, this was the first person to talk to him.
He moved closer to Qingshui, and the latter had already stood on her tiptoes and leaned close to his ear. “Young Master, this person is the one I told you about, the young miss’s former fiancé. The son of the head of the Zhang family…”
“I’m Zhang Haoyue.” Zhang Haoyue stretched out his fair, womanly hand and cupped his fist. He then added, “I’m also Sister Shaoxiang’s fiancé.”
“So it’s Senior Brother Zhang. It’s a pleasure to meet you!” Qin Huai was also very polite. Although the conflict between the Zhang and Li families was already like fire and water in the Nine Dragons sect, one should not slap a smiling face even if he didn’t know the other party’s intention.
“I came here today to thank Brother Qin.”
“Oh? Thank me for what?”
“Brother Qin might not know this, but even though I knew Little Sister Shaoxiang when we were young, we never had any romantic feelings for each other. Back then, the matter of Father and Uncle Li’s arrangement gave me a headache.” Zhang Haoyue smiled and shook his head. “It’s all thanks to Brother Qin for marrying Little Sister Shaoxiang, that I can finally get married to my cousin.”
Qin Huai looked at Zhang Haoyue’s side. There was an introverted woman who didn’t dare to look others in the eye, holding Zhang Haoyue’s arm.
“Then I’ll have to congratulate the two of you.” Qin Huai cupped his fists and shook his head, revealing a smile.
“Oh, how can there be any congratulations?” Zhang Haoyue’s face showed a touch of worry. “Although the Nine Dragons sect is strong, the Zhang and Li families are like fire and water, and there are internal conflicts everywhere. I don’t know how many resources have been wasted and how many talents have been buried.
“If this continues, in less than twenty years, the Nine Dragons sect will drop another level. Now, in order to bring the two families back together, I’ve been racking my brains all night.” He shook his head in frustration and melancholy.
“I didn’t expect Brother Zhang to have such a broad vision. I really respect you.” Qin Huai’s expression did not change. He maintained that smile with a very precise angle. “I’m not as good as Brother Zhang. I can only think about the safety of my family.”
Zhang Haoyue smiled bitterly. “Brother Qin, you’re overestimating me. I only have such thoughts, and I don’t have the strength.
“If we want the Zhang and Li families to mend their relationship, we must have an absolute expert who can suppress the two families with his strength. Then, we can slowly rectify the relationship between the two families. Unfortunately, my talent is limited…
“I heard that Brother Qin made rapid progress in Pingnan City. You climbed to the top of Pingnan in just two years and showed your extraordinary talent in dealing with the great wave of demons,” Zhang Haoyue complimented.
“I wonder who Brother Zhang heard this from?” Qin Huai smiled.
Zhang Haoyue’s expression stiffened slightly. “The Nine Dragons sect’s influence is spread all over your river. Naturally, they have eyes in Pingnan as well. They send news every month.”
“So that’s how it is. That’s just the people in the city praising me.”
“Brother Qin is too humble. I think Brother Qin is trying to measure strength?”
“Yes, I am.” Qin Huai nodded.
“Then, I wish Brother Qin the best in splitting open the skies and obtaining first place in the Blood Dragon Platform.” Zhang Haoyue cupped his fists, then walked away with his cousin.
“Son-in-law, this Zhang Haoyue has an extremely high reputation in the Nine Dragons sect, especially among the younger generation. Even many of the Li family’s young men look up to him,” Qingshui said as soon as she saw them leave.
“What’s his cultivation level?”
“He’s the Nine Dragons sect’s number one among the younger generation, a heaven’s favorite in the bone pattern realm!” Qingshui blurted. Even though she had stayed in Pingnan for a few years, she had never stopped receiving information about the Nine Dragons sect.
“His status is extraordinary, but he doesn’t put on airs, and he’s kind… Who wouldn’t like such a person?” Qin Huai muttered to himself.
“But I still feel that that person is strange…” Qingshui frowned. “Time will prove everything. One can’t hide their true colors forever.”
Qin Huai turned around and looked at Zhang Haoyue, who was standing not far away and watching them. The latter smiled and waved at him.
“I’ll go up first and earn some points back.”
