Qin Chu felt his scalp tingle, and he had to sit down, taking a seat beside Shangshu Tianye.
"Will I eat you?" Seeing Qin Chu's bad expression, Shangshu Tianye glared at Qin Chu. He wanted to deal with Qin Chu, but how could he? His wife and daughter were both watching.
Qin Chu smiled, then got up to pour wine.
The meal was enjoyed by both host and guests, but Qin Chu felt a bit unnatural because Shangshu Tianye's gaze seemed to promise trouble for him.
In the afternoon, Qin Longhan and the others were about to leave, and Shangshu Tianye and Zhen Han personally saw them off to the castle's entrance.
"Auntie, Senior Sister, I'll come to see you later," Qin Chu nodded to Zhen Han and Shangshuyu.
"Be careful!" Zhen Han nodded to Qin Chu. She was very satisfied with this prospective son-in-law.
Shangshuyu waved to Qin Chu, also reminding him to be careful.
After entering the beast carriage, Qin Lingxi looked at Qin Chu, "Are you very satisfied?"
"Aunt, my mind is too slow. I didn't think about some things. I didn't realize that Senior Sister was the Princess of the Azure Dragon Holy Land, and I didn't realize that she was the one from the engagement," Qin Chu said.
"Think more about things, use your brain more. I've never seen anyone like you, making your future father-in-law lose Face before you're even married," Qin Longhan said after glancing at his grandson.
Hearing Qin Longhan's words, Qin Chu felt a bit awkward. He remembered that he had been very domineering at the time, refusing to give Shangshu Tianye Face. In the days to come, as long as Shangshu Tianye remembered it, he would be difficult with him.
"Haha! It's fine. If Princess Yu and the Clan Chief's wife are fond of Qin Chu, what can Clan Chief Shangshu do? He's actually quite satisfied with Qin Chu; if he wasn't, the engagement wouldn't proceed," Qin Longxuan said.
Then Qin Longhan told Qin Chu that after this competition and the rebuilding of the Vermilion Bird Holy Land, they would formally propose marriage for Qin Chu, to marry Shangshuyu into the Vermilion Bird Holy Land.
Qin Chu nodded. His fiancée was Shangshuyu; he didn't resist it, but rather felt some anticipation.
After arriving near the Alchemist Guild, Qin Chu got off the beast carriage and returned to the Alchemist Guild. Next, he still had to accept challenges.
In fact, there were no challengers. In the Qingyun Ranking Tournament, many Qingyun Ranking members were injured, but Qin Chu was not. Qin Chu was not injured and was always at his Peak state. It was very difficult to pull Qin Chu down, as Qin Chu's combat power was evident to all.
With no one challenging him, Qin Chu spent his days Cultivating and Alchemy. When Medicinal Pills were refined, he would go to the trading hall to exchange them for Spirit Stones or Materials.
Qin Chu's days were stable, but the White Tiger Holy Land, the Blazing Thunder Holy Land, and the Black Tortoise Holy Land were uneasy. Their news was well-informed; the fact that people from the Vermilion Bird Holy Land had stayed in the Azure Dragon Castle for most of the day did not escape them. Although no substantial news was spread, if they hadn't reached an agreement and had a pleasant discussion, would they have stayed for half a day?
This was very bad news for the White Tiger Holy Land, the Blazing Thunder Holy Land, and the Black Tortoise Holy Land. After the great war twenty years ago, the Azure Dragon Holy Land was the strongest, and Clan Chief Shangshu Tianye's strength was unfathomable. Now the Vermilion Bird Holy Land had made a strong comeback, and Qin Longhan had become a Half-Step Venerable, making it difficult to contend.
If the Vermilion Bird Holy Land and the Azure Dragon Holy Land joined forces, then the White Tiger Holy Land, the Blazing Thunder Holy Land, and even the Black Tortoise Holy Land would find it very difficult to resist.
Holy Martial City was plunged into the oppressive calm before a storm.
This day, after Qin Chu finished selling Medicinal Pills in the trading hall and returned to his small courtyard, Shangshuyu arrived, carrying a food box.
"Senior Sister is here," Qin Chu invited Shangshuyu to sit down.
"Mother arranged for someone to make some small dishes and asked me to bring them to you," Shangshuyu said after sitting down.
"Hehe! I thought Senior Sister made them!" Qin Chu said with a smile.
"I can't, but I'm learning recently," Shangshuyu's Face was a little red. She had never been in a kitchen before, so she wasn't very good at cooking.
Qin Chu shook his head, "No need. I'll do more Alchemy and earn more Spirit Stones. We'll eat at restaurants in the future."
Shangshuyu smiled, "Then I'll also have to learn to make a couple of small dishes. When we're admiring flowers and the moon, we can't just keep drinking tea."
Qin Chu nodded, "That's up to you. Whatever makes you happy."
Because they were fiancés approved by their elders, Qin Chu and Shangshuyu's conversations always carried a hint of intimacy.
After staying in Qin Chu's small courtyard for half a day, Shangshuyu was about to leave. Qin Chu saw Shangshuyu to the entrance of the Alchemist Guild. At this time, Granny Yu and a team of people from the Azure Dragon Holy Land appeared, escorting Shangshuyu back to the Azure Dragon Castle.
This was a special period, and Shangshu Tianye and Zhen Han placed great importance on Shangshuyu's safety.
Watching Shangshuyu leave, Shang Tang, in the restaurant opposite the Alchemist Guild, smashed the wine glass in his hand to pieces.
"Qin Chu, I will grind you to dust. The woman Shang Tang sets his eyes on, I will definitely get my hands on her," Shang Tang's Face was full of murderous intent.
Although he was extremely angry, Shang Tang dared not make any moves, because Shang Tianhua had said that they could not provoke the Azure Dragon Holy Land now, as the White Tiger Holy Land's biggest enemy was the Vermilion Bird Holy Land, and they could not create new problems.
"Yu'er, that scoundrel from the White Tiger Holy Land is in the restaurant opposite the Alchemist Guild, looking very jealous. He won't dare to do anything to you, Yu'er, but he will be ruthless towards Qin Chu. Remind Qin Chu later," Granny Yu said to Shangshuyu.
"Hmph! Qin Chu has long wanted to kill him. He may have a higher Cultivation than Qin Chu, but given Qin Chu some time, he will be completely incomparable," Shangshuyu said. Granny Yu smiled, "The husband you value, Yu'er, is naturally much stronger than that piece of trash."
"Granny!" Shangshuyu's Face turned red; Granny Yu was teasing her.
"Qin Chu and the Vermilion Bird Holy Land both need some time. The White Tiger Holy Land and the Blazing Thunder Holy Land do not have as deep a foundation as the Vermilion Bird Holy Land, but that fellow Shang Tiandu is not simple. His age is similar to Qin Chu's, and his talent is not low. He has already awakened the White Tiger Soul, which indicates great potential for future improvement," Granny Yu said after thinking for a moment.
After the Qingyun Ranking Tournament ended, the fighting below the fifth rank began again. The Azure Dragon Holy Land launched an attack on the Black Tortoise Holy Land, destroying all their exposed strongholds in Holy Martial City.
This day, the forces of the Azure Dragon Holy Land surrounded the Black Tortoise Holy Land's headquarters in Holy Martial City. Shangshu Tianye also appeared; he could not make a move, but he could observe the battle.
"Shangshu Tianye, don't go too far!" Zhen Beixuan, standing at the entrance of the Black Tortoise Holy Land's headquarters, was full of anger.
"It was your Black Tortoise Holy Land's people who first bullied the weak and killed my Azure Dragon Holy Land's people, and it was your Black Tortoise Holy Land that first attacked my Azure Dragon Castle. How dare you say I'm going too far? I'm taking this property; it's perfect for preparing a dowry for my daughter. Take it!" Shangshu Tianye directly waved his hand and issued the attack order.
