Chapter 1827 - Arriving at Empire City (2)

“Brother, are we going home?”

In contrast to her previous aversion toward Empire City, Qi Ling’s face was lit up with a joyful smile currently. “Since we are going back, doesn’t that mean Sister Mu won’t have to marry Qi Mo? After all, it’s Brother who had a betrothal with Sister Mu.”

Betrothal?

Yun Luofeng raised her eyebrows and subconsciously looked at Qi Su with a smile on her face. ( .c om )

“Xiao Ling, don’t speak nonsense!” Qi Su’s face shifted and he immediately admonished. “Mu’er and I are merely brother and sister.”

“Oh.” Qi Ling pouted. She still remembered shortly before they left, Sister Mu sought Brother out to confess. But Brother said he merely considered her to be his younger sister, so she did not regard Mu Xuexin as her sister-in-law ever again.

However, she wholeheartedly did not wish for Sister Mu, who she liked, to be married to someone she disliked.

Yun Luofeng aloofly looked toward Qi Su. “Qi Su, the person I chose can’t be cowardly. If you don’t even have the guts to pursue your feelings, how can I count on you to do anything for me?”

Yun Luofeng’s words were measured, but they easily clashed into Qi Su’s heart, causing pain to shoot through it.

Mu Xuexin was a princess, but she did not have the temper of a princess and stood by his side all along while he was downtrodden. How could he not like a girl like that? However, she was a princess, and he had already been expelled from his family and constantly underwent danger. How could he drag her into a situation like this?

Yun Luofeng’s words were like a cold bucket of water pouring over his head though, drenching him completely. That’s right, he was cowardly to the point of not daring to directly face his desires. What right did he have to properly conduct business for her?

“Miss Yun, thank you.” Qi Su’s face was brimming with gratitude. “I understand. I won’t give up in the future!”

He was no longer the previous Qi Su! He had the ability to give Mu Xuexin a superior life!

Empire City

In the Qi Estate, Qi Zheng was sitting inside his study and had his eyes closed to rest. Suddenly, he heard the footsteps outside the door, and his eyes shot open. ( .c om )

Squeak.

The door of the study was pushed open, and Qi Mo entered the room. With a frown, he said, “Dad, I investigated what you told me to.”

“Oh?” A glint flickered through Qi Zheng’s eyes. “What is the background of the woman by Qi Su’s side?”

“No background.”

No background? Another one without a background?

Qi Zheng did not look too pleased. Yun Yueqing also did not have a background. This woman looked so similar to Yun Yueqing, could they be related somehow?

“Could she be Yun Yueqing’s daughter?”

A holier-than-thou woman like Yun Yueqing would marry someone and have a daughter?

Qi Zheng absolutely would not believe that! Because there probably was not any man in the world who Yun Yueqing would take a liking to!

“Dad, even if she was truly related to Yun Yueqing, why should we be afraid of her? She is nothing but a young woman! Could she possibly be stronger than Yun Yueqing?” Qi Mo looked completely uncaring.

Qi Zheng took a deep breath and inquired, “What about the man who helped Qi Su? Did you find anything?”

Qi Mo’s face darkened. “He is the Second Prince of the Tianqi Kingdom.”

In truth, Qi Lao’er’s identity was not any secret. However, Qi Zheng did not consider this from the start, so he had to send someone to investigate it in order to know his identity.

“The Second Prince of the Tianqi Kingdom?” Qi Zheng exclaimed. “Why is the Second Prince of the Tianqi Kingdom helping him?”

Qi Mo’s expression turned gloomier. “The news that my people obtained from Fenglin Town is that Qi Su has already sold the prescription of the spirit-gathering medicinal liquid to the Second Prince of the Tianqi Kingdom.”
