Special War God

Chapter 175 Destined Partner

Xu Qin secretly thought that something was wrong and regretted that he had let out his true feelings in a moment of hasty words.

She really didn't expect that "Concubine Yu" would personally paint such a magnificent work as a wedding gift for Chengkui and Xu Qian. You have to know that this painting is grand and delicate, and it cannot be completed in a short time. It must have taken the painter a lot of effort and time.

"Concubine Yu" is not Chengkui's biological mother. Even she can make such efforts for the marriage between the two families, which shows how much importance the Fourth Prince attaches to this marriage.

If Xu Qian and Cheng Kui were in love with each other, that would be great. However, the problem is that Xu Qian is determined not to marry into the palace. How should this problem be resolved?

The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

If the two families fail to successfully become relatives, the Xu family will probably not be able to bear the anger of the Fourth Prince!

The fourth prince said, "Brother Dejing, why haven't you brought Xu Qian to your house yet? We should let them spend more time together and cultivate their relationship before they get married! If you think it's inappropriate for your daughter to go to her fiancé's house before she gets married, I can also bring Cheng Kui to visit your villa!"

According to local folk tradition, unmarried women should not visit their fiancés’ homes frequently, so as not to damage their reputation. However, if the man is a member of the royal family, who would care about this? They would be eager to send the woman to her husband’s house to ensure that everything goes smoothly and to prevent others from getting there first.

Only Xu Dejing was a "special case". The Fourth Prince hinted at him many times but never received a response.

However, the more Xu Dejing was reluctant to bring Xu Qian to the palace, the more the Fourth Prince valued him and attached more importance to this marriage, which was something Xu Dejing had never expected...

The Fourth Uncle said again: "I heard that your brother is eager to fight for the ruling power of a new territory?"

Xu Dejing responded: "Shou Ting has already transcended the ethereal realm for many years. It is natural that he wants to seize such a rare opportunity."

The fourth uncle said, "Brother Dejing, I have to criticize you. Why should you be so aloof? You and I are about to become relatives, so why do you need to be so reserved with me about the affairs of the Xu family? Don't worry, I will pave the way for your brother immediately!"

After bidding farewell to the Fourth Uncle and returning to the villa, Xu Dejing and Xu Qin both felt heavy in their hearts.

The more obvious it was that the Fourth Prince took the marriage very seriously, the more pressure they felt.

Fortunately, the court was busy selecting rulers for the new territory and people were in turmoil, which was not a good time to hold a wedding, so the matter could be delayed a little.

But once the nine new rulers are chosen, further delay will be impossible.

Xu Dejing said: "Qin'er, since the Fourth Emperor's uncle has agreed to help your Second Uncle, you don't need to run around with me to give gifts in the future. Spend more time with Qian'er and comfort her."

For Xu Dejing, he never thought of letting Xu Qian marry Xia Zhongnan. He just wanted her to change her mind and be her Crown Princess.

Xu Qin said: "Father, Qian'er has been stubborn since she was a child, and it may not be easy for her to change in a short period of time. Have you ever thought that to untie the knot in your heart, you need the person who tied the bell. Since Qian'er is in trouble, can we find Xia Zhongnan and seek advice from him?"

Hearing Xu Qin's proposal, Xu Dejing's eyes flickered slightly.

He was actually a little afraid to face Xia Zhongnan.

In the past, in the Immortal Palace, he had had close contact with Xia Zhongnan for quite a long time, and even under Xia Zhongnan's half-coercion, he reluctantly promised not to disclose the secrets of the Immortal Palace.

Xu Dejing has complicated feelings towards Xia Zhongnan.

He was deeply envious of Xia Zhongnan's abilities and opportunities. If it weren't for Xu Qian, he would have done his best to show favor and win him over.

However, he happened to be involved in Xu Qian's marriage, which made Xu Dejing quite dissatisfied with Xia Zhongnan.

The more outstanding Xia Zhongnan was, the more troubled he became.

This is because Wu Chengkui has the support of the Fourth Prince's uncle, and behind the Fourth Prince is the monarch of the Wu Kingdom, a person who can overthrow the entire Xu family in an instant.

Xia Zhongnan doesn't have that kind of background. No matter how outstanding he is, can he break through to the Hedao realm?

Once Wu Chengkui is promoted to the ethereal realm, he will be crowned king immediately. If Xu Qian marries him, she will truly become a princess.

And what about Xia Zhongnan?

Even if one is promoted to a spiritual practitioner, what kind of high position can one obtain?

Although there are not many spiritual practitioners in the world, there are quite a few. Only dozens of them can become governors of a country. More spiritual practitioners either join medium-sized sects or rely on the court to serve the ruler, leading a precarious life.

After all, the daily practice of ethereal practitioners is extremely exhausting, and it is difficult to obtain sufficient resources for practice by one's own efforts alone. Without resources, it is difficult to stabilize the realm, let alone further improvement.

In Xu Dejing's view, no matter how the future changes, Xia Zhongnan will never be able to touch the glory of the royal family, not to mention that if he cancels the engagement without authorization at this moment, he will face endless anger from the royal family.

After a moment, Xu Dejing responded slowly: "Xia Zhongnan is in the distant Silver Kingdom, like an elf hidden in the mist. How can we find his trace?"

Xu Qin responded: "Then I will find another way!"

In the next few days, Xu Qin frequently visited Xu Qian's boudoir and talked with her about everything. Even if he couldn't completely convince Xu Qian, at least he could get her mind out of trouble.

With Xu Qin's consolation, Xu Qian gradually regained her former vitality, and her eyes sparkled again.

That day, Xu Qin suggested: "Qian'er, we have been staying in Wudu City for a long time. It's not good for you to always lock yourself in your room. How about I take you for a walk in the city?"

Xu Qian retorted: "As long as my father doesn't force me to marry that Wu Chengkui, who would be willing to be a bird in a cage?"

Xu Qin sighed softly: "You, you never understand your father's difficulties. Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's go out for a walk first!"

The two sisters went out and walked into the bustling streets of Wudu City.

The bustling flow of people, various unique shops and dazzling array of goods instantly relieved Xu Qian's depression. She took the initiative to share the customs and anecdotes of the Baiguo city with Xu Qin.

As the ancients said, traveling ten thousand miles is better than reading ten thousand books. Xu Qian has traveled to many places and loves to explore. When she talked about the strange customs of various places, Xu Qin was fascinated.

When talking about the tailor shop in Yangzi City, Xu Qian suddenly said, "I can't explain it clearly, so I'll just show it to you!"

So, she took Xu Qin to a clothing store, walked into the fitting room, took out the white dress stored in the mysterious ring, put it on, and then walked out.

This scene made Xu Qin so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

As people often say, clothes make the man, and gold ornaments make the Buddha. Xu Qin had never expected that her sister would be so breathtakingly beautiful after putting on the exotic dress.

Seeing her sister's surprise, Xu Qian became even more excited. She put on new clothes and continued shopping with Xu Qin.

As a result, the two people who were already eye-catching now attracted 100% of the attention. Seeing this, some noble children were unable to move and could not help but follow behind them.

There were also some bold noblemen who came forward to talk to them.

However, the two sisters have seen countless men, so how could they pay attention to these wishful suitors?

Feeling the aura of the two, the ordinary noble children restrained their thoughts and did not dare to provoke them easily.

They knew very well who to offend and who not to offend. Just by looking at the temperament of the two sisters, they knew that they must have extraordinary origins.

However, accidents do happen occasionally.

A nobleman holding a folding fan stood in front of the two of them. He ignored Xu Qin and locked his eyes with Xu Qian. He said, "In Wudu City, I have never seen a beauty as beautiful as you who looks like a fairy. May I ask your name and where you are from?"

His words were offensive and he had no manners. When he saw a beautiful woman, he would approach her directly...

Xu Qian and Xu Qin developed a strong interest in this stranger. With their knowledge of the mysterious world, they naturally understood that this person was either extremely stupid or had a powerful force behind him, otherwise how could he dare to be so unscrupulous.

They looked intently and saw that he was about thirty years old, with an extraordinary appearance. Following him were not only guards, but also several young people in luxurious clothes, who were looking at them with smiles on their faces.

Xu Qian said, "Get out of the way, a good dog won't block the road!"

Although these words are rough, they reveal a unique charm, as if a fairy-like woman is breaking the rules in this way.

The nobleman was not angry at all. Instead, he laughed out loud and said, "Great, great! It seems that the young lady is also a fellow traveler. We are a perfect match made in heaven!"

Xu Qian responded: "Who do you think you are to claim that you are a match for this girl?!"

When Xu Qian heard him calling the young master a "thing", one of his followers immediately shouted, "How dare you! How dare you insult the prince? Capture him!"

Xu Qin's heart tightened. Although they were born into extraordinary families, the title of "Crown Prince" could only be enjoyed by those of royal blood. This status was far beyond their reach.

However, Xu Qian ignored him and shouted, "I am called 'Jueying'. You are blocking my way and you dare to speak nonsense? Let me see how I turn you into pigs!"

The prince turned around and shouted angrily, "How dare you! Who allowed you to talk so much? How dare you offend such a beautiful lady?"

After being reprimanded, the attendants quickly withdrew. The prince turned to Xu Qian and smiled, "You are so hot, girl! I have never seen a beauty as outstanding as you! Tell me which family you are from, and I will go back and ask your father for marriage immediately!"

Xu Qian taunted, "Nonsense! Why don't you look in the mirror? You want to marry me with this look? Get out of here!"

As she spoke, she tried to move around the prince who was blocking her way.

How could the prince let her leave so easily? He stood in front of Xu Qian again, and no matter which direction she turned, he followed her and intercepted her.

Xu Qian was furious and suddenly attacked, slapping the prince hard in the face.

The slap was so powerful that the prince was knocked to the side and back, but fortunately two guards had quick reactions and caught him.

This scene happened so suddenly that the prince's companions and Xu Qin were stunned. They never thought that Xu Qian would actually take action, and act so cruelly.

Everyone knew that the prince was of noble status, and no one dared to attack him in Wuling City, but Xu Qian did just that.
