Chapter 460: To Die For Face And Suffer In Life

Chapter 460: To Die For Face And Suffer In Life

“This is unreasonable!” Inside the palace, the third prince became furious and threw things on the floor.

Being humiliated by the Dragon Clan and thrown out of the arena yesterday was bad enough.

Not passing through the arena and marrying a Dragon Clan woman was also regrettable.

What made him unbearable the most was why Qin Feng could get everything he wanted?

Jealousy distorted his face!

His trusted guard said, “Your Highness, after the marriage alliance with the Dragon Clan, Qin Feng’s influence has become even stronger.” 

“Instead of continuing to be hostile, it’s better to improve relations with him. This will greatly help you in your future pursuit of the heir position.”

As soon as the words fell, a crisp slap resounded.

“How dare a servant like you dictate my actions?”

The third prince looked at the treasure mirror and saw Qin Feng step out of the arena and standing side by side with Liu Jianli, as well as the joyful faces of the people. He slapped the sandalwood table violently with his right hand, smashing it into pieces.

In the study, Eunuch Li was more surprised than shocked.

Cang Zong’s words in the arena made him understand the reason why the Dragon Clan had inexplicably come to Imperial City for the Marriage Competition.

And it was all because of Qin Feng!

Emperor Ming stood up and said with a smile, “This boy is truly exceptional. Marrying Liu Jianli was no small feat, but becoming the Dragon Clan’s son-in-law? That surpasses even that.” 

“I have encountered Dragon Clan women before, and their pride is unmatched. Capturing their hearts is no easy task.”

Eunuch Li continued, “The young master of the Qin family has also given Your Majesty a great gift.”

“The marriage alliance between the human race and the Dragon Clan is unprecedented. Your Majesty can use this opportunity to form an alliance with the Dragon Clan.” 

“King Garuda of the Southern Territory has already awakened, and we don’t know when he will return to invade the Southern Territory. With the support of the Dragon Clan, it will be much easier for Great Qian to deal with the Garuda Clan in the future.”

Of course, the emperor had also thought of this, which was why he was so pleased.

“The boy has given us such a substantial gift, so of course we must give him a reward.”

“Now that the marriage with the Dragon Clan is essentially set in stone, then… convey our message: the marriage between Qin Feng and the Dragon Clan shall be fully handled by the Ministry of Rites!”

Returning to the Cloud Palace, Cang Mu arrived at the resting place of Cang Feilan.

Cang Feilan had not paid any attention to the competition at all, but was quietly looking at the poem and lyrics that Qin Feng had written for her.

Her eyes were filled with nostalgia and regret.

Even when she heard the sound of someone coming, she never moved her eyes.

Seeing this, Cang Mu wanted to tease the girl, so she deliberately sighed before saying, “Someone finally won today.”

Upon hearing this, Cang Feilan’s pupils suddenly contracted, but she made no response.

“Originally, I wanted to intercept him for you, but this person was indeed extremely talented. Despite his young age, his cultivation was not low. After suppressing my cultivation, I was no match for him. We fought for over a hundred rounds, and he defeated me in a single move.”

“As for your father, he managed to hold the other party back, but you know your father’s character well. He does not like to bully the weak, so he made a three-move agreement on his own.”

“That boy from the Human Race was not to be underestimated. He showed two formations in succession, which was quite eye-opening. In the end, he even used a spatial technique to switch positions with your father, thus winning the match.”

“Unfortunately, the Dragon Clan never marries outside. Even if that boy succeeds, I don’t want you to marry into the Human Race. But the old man has always been true to his word. After announcing the matchmaking challenge in front of so many people, It’s impossible for him to go back on his promise.”

“If all else fails, you might as well agree. Besides, you won’t suffer. The Human Clan boy is quite handsome and has excellent talent. In the future, he may become a powerful being, comparable to a Divine General. It wouldn’t be a loss for you to marry him.”

At this point, Cang Feilan finally reacted. She raised her head and looked at Cang Mu coldly, and replied, “If you want to get married, what does that have to do with me?”

“How can you let me get married?” Cang Mu showed a troubled look.

“I’m much older than him, and I like brave warriors. How could I be interested in a scholar like him?”

Hearing this, Cang Feilan suddenly froze and turned her head.

“Besides, considering my status, I should aim high and not settle for less. You don’t know, this guy already has a wife at home, yet he still wants to compete.”

“Men who look at other women while they already have a wife are the worst.”

At this point, how could Cang Feilan not realise that the man who passed the competition was the one she had been longing for?

“He… he passed the competition? But how is that possible?” Cang Feilan’s voice trembled.

“Who are you talking about? Why can’t I understand?” 

“Never mind, you said you wouldn’t marry whoever passed the competition.”

“Let’s do it then, when we announced the competition, we didn’t specify which Dragon Clan daughter would be married. Since you’re so unwilling, I’ll inform my father and we’ll choose another Dragon Clan girl.”

“If that doesn’t work, your aunt can’t bear to see you suffer, so I’ll sacrifice myself. With my looks, I’m more than enough for the Qin family boy.”

Cang Mu emphasised the phrase “Qin family boy”.

Mist formed in Cang Feilan’s light blue eyes, she couldn’t believe it, but there was also excitement and joy that she couldn’t hide.

Seeing this, Cang Mu gently hugged her and said, “If you want to cry, go ahead, it’s a woman’s right. I haven’t seen you like this since your mother died.”

“But only for tonight.”

“Butterflies flutter, snow willows, golden threads, laughter and perfume. These are the poems the boy gave you. When you meet him again, naturally you must smile.”

“Mmm.” With a nasal tone, Cang Feilan buried her head in Cang Mu’s arms, her body trembling slightly.

Cang Mu gently stroked her back and glanced outside where two black shadows flashed past..

“He really is willing to suffer for the sake of his pride.” Cang Mu shook her head and murmured softly.

“You’ve disgraced the entire Dragon Clan! You actually let a human boy pass the arena!” Cang Xuan stood with his hands behind his back and snorted coldly from the clouds.

You had me guard the last stage of the arena, wasn’t it because you wanted me to decide whether or not to marry Feilan to him?” Cang Zong said indifferently.

“It seems that you’ve approved of that boy.” Cang Xuan turned his head slightly and looked over.

Cang Zong remembered what Qin Feng had said in the arena and nodded, a trace of satisfaction crossing his eyes.

“But aren’t you angry about what that boy said about you? As a father, you should know what Feilan likes and wants.”

“It doesn’t matter, as long as Feilan is happy.”

The old man shook his head helplessly.

They stood in silence for a long time. After a while, the old man seemed to think of something and suddenly spoke: “The boy already has a wife. According to human customs, if Feilan marries him, she can only be considered a concubine.”

“If it were an ordinary woman, it would be fine, and Feilan would naturally be able to suppress her.”

“But that woman is Liu Jianli, the favoured Daughter of Heaven that even we are familiar with. What if Feilan suffers injustice?”

Hearing this, Cang Mu’s eyes also flashed with a trace of worry. “Tomorrow, we will visit the Qin Manor.”

“Very Well.”
