Chapter 179: Chapter 179: Coming at You_1

"Plotting!"

Lo Qianxue was also astonished. A teenage boy not yet sixteen dares to plot in Yan City? Such audacity truly shakes the mind!

After a moment of contemplation, Lo Qianxue asked, "Are you planning to reveal your true identity?"

Qin Feiyang laughed, saying, "I can’t use the name Jian Haotian forever, can I?"

"Well, that’s true."

Lo Qianxue nodded, thought for a moment, then asked, "When do you plan to make your move?"

Qin Feiyang replied, "In nine days, during Yiyi’s and the First Prince’s wedding ceremony."

Upon hearing this, a peculiar light flickered in Lo Qianxue’s intelligent eyes.

KNOCK! KNOCK!

Just then, a knock sounded at the door.

Lo Qianxue asked, "Who is it?"

"Pavilion Master, the Lin Family Head requests an audience," a woman’s voice replied from outside.

"Should you hide?" Lo Qianxue frowned, looking at Qin Feiyang.

Qin Feiyang smiled. "No need. He’s here for me."

"For you?" A trace of suspicion appeared on Lo Qianxue’s face. She said to the person outside, "Let him in."

The door was pushed open. A young woman stood in the doorway. After she stepped aside, Lin Chang came into their view.

Seeing Qin Feiyang, delight flashed in Lin Chang’s heart, and he hurried inside.

"Close the door. Without my permission, no one is to approach the guest room," Lo Qianxue instructed the young woman.

"Yes."

The young woman acknowledged, closed the door, and then left.

Lin Chang walked up to Qin Feiyang, cupped his hands, and said, "Qin Feiyang, about the past..."

Qin Feiyang waved his hand dismissively. "Let’s not talk about the past. Just state your purpose."

"I..." The words reached Lin Chang’s lips, but he swallowed them back, glancing towards Lo Qianxue, intentionally or otherwise.

Qin Feiyang said, "It’s fine. Aunt Xue isn’t an outsider. Speak freely."

Aunt Xue? Lin Chang was inwardly astonished. When did Qin Feiyang become Lo Qianxue’s nephew?

Qin Feiyang frowned. "Do you have something to say or not? If not, don’t waste my time."

Lin Chang said, "I want to ask for your help to rescue Yiyi."

"Weren’t you the one who insisted on sending her to the royal family? Why do you want to rescue her now?" Qin Feiyang scoffed. "Besides, she’s marrying the First Prince, the future Commandery Prince of Yan Province. How could a powerless nobody like me dare to challenge the royal family?"

"Yes." Lin Chang said, his face full of remorse. "I was blinded by ambition in the past and didn’t consider Yiyi’s feelings. But ever since Yiyi left, my heart has been in unbearable pain. I’ve reflected time and again, regretted time and again. But what could I do? Before Lin Han, I’m just an insignificant wretch. I could only numb myself with alcohol every day. I thought I might spend the rest of my life like this. But your appearance has given me hope."

"Don’t try to sound so noble," Qin Feiyang said mockingly. "You drink because Lin Han took Yiyi and seized the power that should have been yours. You’re begging me now because you’re resentful and don’t want Lin Han to succeed. Am I right?"

Lin Chang’s expression turned extremely unsightly. Qin Feiyang’s words had laid bare his innermost thoughts. It was as if he had been stripped naked, exposed before everyone without any mercy.

"Lin Chang, you probably don’t yet know Qin Feiyang’s current standing in Yan City," Lo Qianxue said lightly. "Let me put it this way: Every decision he makes now, every single thing he does, can cause a major upheaval in Yan City."

Back then, to prevent Lin Yiyi and Qin Feiyang from being together, this man resorted to any means necessary, Lo Qianxue thought. Who would have thought that the ’trash’ from back then would achieve so much today? I’m afraid when he learns the truth, he’ll regret it so much his insides turn green.

Hearing this, Lin Chang’s face was filled with disbelief. Even if Qin Feiyang has become stronger now, how could he possibly become such an influential figure in a place like Yan City?

Qin Feiyang waved his hand. "Go back. I’m powerless to help with this matter."

"Feiyang, I truly know I was wrong," Lin Chang implored. "Just now, I was about to inform Lin Han, but at the last moment, I saw reason. Please, help me. If not for my sake, then for Yiyi’s. You don’t want to see her marry into the royal family and be miserable for the rest of her life, do you?"

"So you *do* know she’ll be miserable?" Qin Feiyang abruptly stood up and said angrily, "What were you doing back then? You only realize your regret now? Are you even fit to be Yiyi’s father? Did you ever once think about her?"

"I..." For a moment, Lin Chang was at a loss for words. "I’ll kneel to you, won’t that be enough?"

Finally, he gritted his teeth, his knees buckled, and he started to kneel.

Seeing this, Lo Qianxue stepped forward, grabbed Lin Chang’s shoulder, turned to Qin Feiyang, and said meaningfully, "He is Yiyi’s biological father, after all."

A glint appeared in Qin Feiyang’s eyes. It seems Lo Qianxue and I were thinking the same thing.

"Alright, I’ll do this for Aunt Xue’s sake." After a moment of thought, Qin Feiyang nodded. He took out a Shape-shifting Pill, tossed it to Lin Chang, and said indifferently, "Go back and make arrangements immediately. You’ll accompany me to Yan City shortly."

Lo Qianxue’s eyes glinted. This is a Top Grade elixir!

"What? A Top Grade elixir?" Lin Chang was startled. He hurriedly looked at the Shape-shifting Pill, and when he saw the brilliant Elixir Pattern, his eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets.

Qin Feiyang frowned. "Hurry and make your arrangements before I change my mind."

"Yes, yes, yes." Lin Chang nodded repeatedly, then turned and quickly departed.

A little less than an hour later, Lin Chang returned. Qin Feiyang also bid farewell to Lo Qianxue and headed towards Black Bear City with Lin Chang. Before leaving, however, he gave Lo Qianxue a Top Grade Vermilion Glazed Pill. With that, all of his original Top Grade Vermilion Glazed Pills were gone. Only the ten from the First Prince remained.

「By the time they arrived in Black Bear City, it was late at night.」

After gathering Fatty and Shi Zheng, they hurried back to Yan City that same night.

「Quiet Heart Lake!」

Qin Feiyang sat at the tea table, looking at Lin Chang and instructing, "Before Yiyi’s wedding, you’d best not leave Quiet Heart Lake. Otherwise, if anything happens, I won’t be responsible."

Lin Chang nodded, feeling utterly incredulous. When Lo Qianxue had said that Qin Feiyang’s standing in Yan City was extraordinary, he hadn’t quite believed her. But along the journey here, he had finally come to deeply understand it. Personal protection from a Nine-Star War King! Treated as an honored guest by the Martial King Palace! Such treatment was truly astounding!

Qin Feiyang then said, "Lu Hong, take him upstairs and arrange a room for him."

"Come with me." Lu Hong glanced at Lin Chang and turned to walk towards the second floor.

Soon, Lu Hong came back downstairs, frowning. "Who is he?"

Qin Feiyang replied, "Yiyi’s father."

Lu Hong and Fatty exchanged a glance, a hint of confusion in their eyes.

"Don’t ask about this matter. Help me take inventory of what’s in this Qiankun Bag." Qin Feiyang took out a Qiankun Bag and placed it on the tea table. It contained the treasures of the Black Bear King.

Fatty sighed inwardly, then suddenly grinned, pulling out a large red flower. "Boss, look what this is!"

"A Nine Suns Flower?" Qin Feiyang turned to look, asking in surprise, "Where did this come from?"

"You forgot already?" Fatty rolled his eyes. "It’s the one from the gorge. When Shi Zheng and I were drinking at the Spring Wind Building, I suddenly remembered we forgot to pick it, so we rushed back and got it."

Qin Feiyang rubbed his forehead, feeling quite exasperated. With everything that had happened then, he had completely forgotten about the Nine Suns Flower. Thankfully, Fatty remembered, otherwise he would have had to make another trip.

"Thanks." Qin Feiyang smiled, accepted the Nine Suns Flower, his eyes gleaming. He then looked at Fatty and asked, "When you went back, did you see Zuo An and his men?"

Fatty shook his head. "They were long gone. By the way, should we tell Feng Ling’er about Feng Cheng’s death?"

Qin Feiyang hesitated for a moment, then said, "I’ll tell her later. Contact Chief Li first."

Fatty took out an Image Crystal Stone. As his True Qi surged, Chief Li’s illusory figure soon appeared.

Chief Li asked in surprise, "You’re back already?"

"Isn’t it obvious?" Qin Feiyang said with a faint smile.

"So, was Zuo An killed?" Chief Li asked.

"I don’t know." Qin Feiyang shook his head, not in the mood to inquire. He asked, "How is the medicinal herb collection going?"

Chief Li replied, "The Lin family has a Snow Crystal, and the royal family has a Nine Suns Flower, but they don’t intend to sell them."

"Why is that?" Qin Feiyang frowned.

Chief Li explained, "They say these are prizes for a competition hosted by the royal family. You should know about it, right?"

Qin Feiyang nodded.

"The first-place prize is the Nine Suns Flower, second place gets the Snow Crystal, and third place receives a leaf from a Red Fire Glazed Tree," Chief Li said with a smile.

"Such generous rewards?" Qin Feiyang was surprised. These three are all rare medicinal herbs. The royal family and the Lin family are truly being extravagant.

Chief Li teased, "You brat, for someone as smart as you, it’s rare you didn’t see through it. The royal family is actually trying to lure you into participating. You could say it’s all targeted at you."

"Lure me?" Qin Feiyang frowned. I really can’t figure it out.

Chief Li continued, "According to reliable sources, the First Prince arranged these prizes. Understand now?"

"So that’s what this is all about." Realization dawned on Qin Feiyang, a cold smirk playing on his lips. Last time, Fatty and Shi Zheng thoroughly humiliated the First Prince. He definitely holds a grudge because of it. And the First Prince is a smart man. He knows I wouldn’t participate in such a pointless competition, so he’s using these three precious medicinal herbs as bait to force me to join. His goal is to defeat me, humiliate me, and make me lose face in front of everyone in Yan City!

Chief Li asked playfully, "So, will you participate, or not?"

Qin Feiyang grinned. "I was just worrying about finding a suitable wedding gift. I didn’t expect him to deliver one to my doorstep. Do you think I’ll go?"

"We definitely won’t be polite to someone looking for a beating!" Fatty cackled.

"Interesting, interesting." Chief Li couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Qin Feiyang said, "Senior, sorry to trouble you, but please make a trip and bring the medicinal herbs over now."

"Then you’d better prepare the Gold Coins. This won’t be a small sum." After Chief Li finished speaking, his illusory figure quickly dispersed.
