Chapter 425: Three Factions Gather
say something to ease the tension. She cleared her throat and casually asked, "By the way, Your Highness, why didn't you tell me that the Empress and your official wife are sisters"Fu Zi Mo remained..."Oh, such precious carrier pigeons! They brought them here. Could something important be happening" Yisheng, transformed into a curious child, couldn't help but ask aloud.
Xiao Long shook his head. "I don't really know what specific mission they were carrying out, but since they were able to bring out this pair of carrier pigeons, it must be something both urgent and important. By the way, how long have these two groups been fighting like this"
Xiaolong mentioned that two groups of people were fighting in the courtyard, and several people came to their senses. Several people glanced at each other and then at Qin Luoyan, as if waiting for her opinion.
But unfortunately, Qin Luoyan still had no intention of interfering with the two groups. Instead, she leisurely took a sip of tea and casually said, "Let them fight if they want to. The conflict between these two hidden families is none of our business. Ordinary people like us, especially someone like me who has never seen the world and doesn't know how to measure things, have no right to interfere."
When they heard her say this, everyone immediately understood. It turned out that she harbored resentment because of Ling Qiu's previous insults, so seeing Ling Qiu now at a disadvantage, she didn't want to get involved at all. Perhaps even in her heart, she secretly hoped that Li Hai would kill Ling Qiu.
A woman's heart is the most ruthless, Xu Hou and Xiaolong glanced at each other, swallowing nervously. They both felt that this woman looked gentle and generous, but deep down, she was really a tigress. They hadn't provoked her, so they were considered lucky.
When Qin Luoyan spoke, her voice wasn't intentionally lowered. Since this courtyard wasn't large to begin with, both sides fighting could hear her.
Li Hai twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling frustrated in his heart. He was being used as a weapon and it was impossible to retreat now that he was already on the battlefield.
Lingqiu was so angry that he almost spat blood. His moves against Li Hai became increasingly erratic, allowing Li Hai to take advantage and land several blows.
The other attendants suddenly lost their fighting spirit. No one wanted to be used as a free sword by someone else.
“Stop!” Ling Qiu was struck in the chest by Li Hai’s palm, staggering back several steps before regaining his balance. He quickly called out to the people around him, shouting, “Brother Li Hai! We’re not fighting anymore, we’re not fighting! For Brother Li Hai’s sake, we’ll spare this girl’s life for now.”
Li Hai let out a cold snort. To admit defeat and beg for mercy is one thing, but Ling Qiu, despite his age, was shamelessly doing such a thing without even blushing. This shows what kind of character he truly has.
"You can't put it that way. My face, Li Hai's face, isn't that big. If you want her face, you can go ahead. I, Li Hai, will pretend I didn't see anything today" Li Hai suddenly changed his tone, a glint in his eyes.
That left Ling Qiu stunned. He couldn't understand why Li Hai had been so protective of Qin Luo Yan just moments ago, yet now he was saying he wouldn't participate Could it be that Qin Luo Yan's words had also offended Li Hai
He was puzzled, and as he turned his head, he saw Xiao Long and the others. His brows furrowed, and he asked, "Who are you"
Xiao Long gave him a withering glance, the answer he expected was not good. "What does it have to do with you"
Ling Qiu's status in the Ling family was not low. He had always been respected wherever he went, even by royal families from other countries, who treated him with utmost deference. How could someone, even a mere boy, dare to speak to him so insolently His face flushed red, and he raised his long sword, about to charge towards Xiao Long.
“An old man, still fighting all day long This is what the Ling family is like No wonder the Ling family's power has been weakening these years. With an old fool like you, how can you expand your influence” Xiaolong scoffed disdainfully.
"You know I'm from the Ling family, yet you dare to speak to me like this" Ling Qiu was full of surprise. His steps stopped, and he didn't make any rash moves. "Who are you all"
"You can't even guess this, what qualifications do you have to talk to us here" Xiaolong showed increasing disdain.
Lingqiu was furious, but the other party seemed even more confident. The more confident they were, the less confident Lingqiu felt inside. He thought carefully, and realized that the only one who could compete with the Li family and the Ling family was the Rong family, whose power had always been the strongest among the three.
"You are... from the Rong family" Ling Qiu gritted his teeth and asked.
Xiao Long nodded, "You finally guessed it." Although he was Fu Zi Mo's person, now that Fu Zi Mo had returned to the Rong family, he had previously sent messages back, and Fu Zi Mo's instructions were also to come out on behalf of the Rong family to talk to Qin Luo Yan, so there was no problem with him saying he represented the Rong family now.
Having received Xiaolong's positive answer, Lingqiu not only didn't relax, but also understood why Li Hai could say he didn't care about this matter. Because the Rong family was here, and judging by the way that Rong family boy treated Qin Luoyan with respect, he would probably also defend Qin Luoyan to the end.
However, he never understood why a woman who knew nothing about martial arts would be so fiercely protected by both the Rong family and the Li family.
“Are you finished” Qin Luoyan put down her teacup and swept her gaze over everyone’s faces before slowly standing up. “Since you’re finished, I’m going to state my terms. If you can do what I ask, I’ll help you with a huge favor.”
Since Ling Qiu entered this courtyard, he has always felt stifled. Now seeing Qin LuoYan put on such a haughty attitude, he was even more dissatisfied and couldn't help but say: "Braggart, what great help can you, a little girl, give us these families"
As soon as he spoke, both Li Hai and Xiao Long looked at him with the expression of seeing a monster. It seemed like he had said something incredibly foolish, making him feel even more frustrated inside. "What are you looking at me for What did I say"
Li Hai and Xiao Long nodded at the same time, then conferred in low voices. Li Hai said, "Why don't we let the Ling family go back first After all, their strength isn't that impressive right now. Whether they're here or not doesn't make much difference to our two families."
"I think it's doable," Xiaolong agreed.
“What do you mean by that Make it clear!” Ling Qiu was so angry that his beard bristled and his eyes bulged. However, the more they acted this way, the more he felt something was amiss. He dared not leave carelessly, after all, the patriarch had sent him to recover the Ling family’s power in Man Kingdom, not for a sightseeing trip.
Qin Luo'yan coldly glanced at him, quietly saying: "Now, you let your attendants all leave first. Each family sends one person in charge to stay."
Li Hai and Xiao Long immediately followed suit. Ling Qiu, seeing that both of them had asked their attendants to leave, hesitated for a moment before ordering his own attendants to do the same.
After everyone else had been ushered out of the courtyard, Qin Luo'yan calmly stated: "My demands are simple. The three of you work together to help Sheng smoothly ascend to the throne of the Man Country, and... eliminate the influence of Zhao Cheng."
