Chapter 6: Qin Yuxian's Charm

  As soon as they entered the city lord's mansion, they heard some noisy voices. Following Qin Yuxian's footsteps, they walked through the courtyard, around the layers of corridors, and arrived at the reception hall in the city lord's mansion.

  Outside the living room door, Qin Hao could be vaguely seen, and inside the hall, people's shadows were swaying, laughter was lingering, it seemed to be very lively.

  Qin Yuxian stepped up onto the steps first, and when she crossed the threshold, Qin Hao discovered that countless gazes shot over. Infatuated, admiring, and enchanted, with all sorts of meanings that were not quite enough. Qin Yuxian was exceptionally calm, treating these gazes as if they didn't exist, her lotus-like footsteps moving lightly as she slowly walked towards the center of the hall. Afterward, she found a position to sit down. In this instant, the entire great hall appeared with a moment's silence.

  The grand hall soon rang out with lively sounds again, but Qin Hao discovered that the eyes of many young men were always wandering around Qin Yuxian, and several burly guys' gazes never left Qin Yuxian.

  Qin Hao was somewhat stunned. He knew that Qin Yuxian had a certain charm, and many young men in Tianlang City often found excuses to get close to her, even some of the younger sons in the Qin family admired her excessively. It wasn't until now that he realized he might have underestimated Qin Yuxian's charm. At just fourteen years old, she was already so elegant and captivating. In two more years, what kind of beauty would she become?

  Qin Hao was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled. He regained his composure and walked in calmly under the astonished gaze of the crowd.

  When Qin Hao walked into the hall, the scene suddenly became extremely quiet, followed by an even more intense commotion.

  Qin Jia Qin Hao, this name is not unfamiliar to most people in the arena. In Tian Lang City, Qin Hao was also famous for breaking through the eighth layer of Condensed Mysteries at the age of ten. The former Qin Hao was the goal that most people were chasing after, including members from several families who were enemies with the Qin family. Later, it is said that due to a flaw in his family's cultivation method, he could no longer advance in his realm and became disheartened, both physically and mentally becoming a complete waste.

  Years after disappearing from the public eye, this person has reappeared. Many people are secretly sizing him up, with different thoughts on their minds. Some are wondering why he would show up at a gathering like this. Others are thinking that Qin Hao, who should be disheartened, doesn't seem to have any air of despair about him. And then there are those who are gloating, thinking that now that Qin Hao has arrived, his arch-nemesis from the Lin family won't let go of the opportunity to humiliate him, and they're in for a good show.

  Qin Hao didn't have time to care about what others thought, after entering the hall, he didn't sit down beside Qin Yuxian, but instead picked up a cup of fruit wine from a table and walked to a corner to find a seat, savoring it slowly.

  The castle owner has not appeared yet. Most people in the field are chatting in twos and threes, seemingly harmonious, but only they themselves know how it really is.

  Qin Hao sipped his wine, his eyes fixed on Qin Yu Xian, and his ears also listening to the movements from that side. As for those who held various thoughts, Qin Hao didn't have any intention of paying attention to them at all.

  In the short moment since Qin Yuxian arrived, three men had already come forward to talk to her. Qin Yuxian's face maintained a faint smile as she responded to them with ease, dispatching all three of them in just a few words. On average, it seemed like they didn't even get to say five sentences each.

  Usually, when Qin Hao talks to Qin Yu Xian about something, Qin Yu Xian always has the ability to end the topic with just a few words. This makes Qin Hao feel somewhat depressed. Now that he has the opportunity to see someone else being lectured, Qin Hao naturally won't let it slip away.

  Soon, Qin Hao saw another man trying to get close to Qin Yu Xian. The man was dressed in fine clothes and had elegant manners. His face was like a crown jade, his nose was like a hanging gallbladder, and his appearance was quite extraordinary. Qin Hao quickly recognized him as Mu Chenfeng, the young master of the Mu family, a mid-tier family in Tianlang City. Mu Chenfeng had a pretty good reputation in Tianlang City and was considered an ideal partner by many young girls.

  Qin Hao looked at Mu Chen Dong with some amusement in his heart. It's not often that you get to see a self-proclaimed elegant gentleman like him being taken down a peg.

  Mu Chen Dong didn't notice Qin Hao's gaze at all. He was staring blankly at Qin Yu Xian, and it was this time last year that he first met Qin Yu Xian here. At that time, he had already decided to make Qin Yu Xian his wife, and she was the first woman he wanted to treat seriously in his life.

  The gap between the Mu and Qin families is not small, so proposing marriage is basically hopeless. Therefore, his only hope is to rely on his own ability to move Qin Yu Xian.

  Mu Chen Dong, with a burning passion in his heart, took a deep breath and picked up two cups of wine from the table, then walked towards Qin Yu Xian.

  "Miss Qin." Mu Chen Dong revealed a charming smile, his eyes fixed on Qin Yu Xian as he handed over the wine cup.

  Qin Yuxian took over the wine cup and replied with a faint smile, "Thanks for your trouble."

  The whole time Qin Yuxian didn't even look at Mu Chendong's affectionate eyes, after taking the wine glass, her gaze drifted elsewhere, and she had no intention of talking to him again.

  Just like a basin of cold water was poured over his head, Mu Chenfeng's passion was suddenly halved.

  He plucked up his courage and shouted again: "Miss Qin."

  Qin Yuxian turned her head back and replied with a faint smile, "Something's up?" Her tone was polite yet distant, without any warmth.

  The hot fire in Mu Chen Dong's heart was extinguished by half, but he still didn't give up and forced a charming smile, saying: "Miss Qin, it's been a while since we've been here, it's getting a bit dull. Why don't we take a walk in the courtyard? The morning breeze can guide us."

  Qin Yuxian still said indifferently: "No need."

  Mu Chenfeng could no longer hold on, and no matter how optimistic he was, he could see that Qin Yuxian had no interest in him at all. At this moment, Qin Yuxian's tone didn't have a hint of closeness. Thinking of this, the last spark of fire in Mu Chenfeng's heart was completely extinguished.

  He stiffly smiled and said: "If that's the case, Miss Qin, then I won't disturb you."

  Qin Yuxian nodded slightly, without any intention of retaining him. Mu Chenfeng's face was thick-skinned, but he couldn't stay by Qin Yuxian's side anymore, he dragged his heavy footsteps, step by step, and left.

  Qin Hao looked at Mu Chen Dong's dejected back, as if he could see the bleak autumn wind blowing beside him, a withered yellow leaf swirling around his side, and then slowly falling to the ground. Even though Qin Hao didn't have a good impression of Mu Chen Dong, he felt a twinge of sympathy for him in that moment.

  "Miss Qin, we meet again. Miss Qin is indeed extraordinary, but unfortunately, there isn't a single man among the Qin family's descendants? Even in this kind of situation, it has to rely on Miss Qin to take the lead?" Qin Hao was quickly brought back to attention by these words with a hint of mockery.

  When Qin Hao turned his head to look, he found a blue-clothed man walking slowly towards the hall, his eyes fixed on Qin Yu Xian. Behind him, a young man followed closely.

  Lin Bi. Qin Hao quickly recognized the man in blue clothes. A cold smile played on Qin Hao's lips. The main player has entered the stage.

  "Brother, there's a good show to watch."

  A playful voice reached Qin Hao's side. Qin Hao turned his head in surprise and found that the silent man who had been sitting next to him had spoken up. When Qin Hao came in earlier, this guy didn't even look at him, just sat there drinking by himself with a distracted expression, as if he was lost in thought. That's why Qin Hao chose to sit next to him to avoid trouble.

  Unexpectedly, this guy finally spoke up. However, his smirking expression made Qin Hao feel somewhat uneasy.

  The man who spoke was named Du Wei, the heir of a mediocre family. His family's strength was not strong enough to participate in the struggle between the big families, so he kept a low profile and sat quietly here, without saying a word.

  Qin Hao entered the scene, but he didn't notice. Later, when he saw Qin Hao sitting next to him, silent and expressionless, he thought Qin Hao was also a member of a small or medium-sized family like himself, and felt a bit of sympathy. At this moment, seeing something happen, he had the idea of chatting with him.

  Qin Hao feigned surprise and asked: "What's the good show to watch?"

  Du Wei saw Qin Hao's curious expression and said with some satisfaction: "The struggle between the Lin and Qin families is well-known to most people. That is the young master of the Lin family, judging from his tone, Miss Qin won't have a good time tonight."

  "This is Old Man Chen's place, doesn't that young master of the Lin family fear offending Old Man Chen?"

  Chen Lao, also known as the Lord of Tianlang City.

  Du Wei curled his lip and said, "This is just the Lin family's high attitude. The young master of the Lin family openly opposing the Qin family is nothing more than trying to intimidate the various families, letting those who are neutral or wavering see the situation clearly. If they really anger Old Man Chen, Lin Zhanbei that old fox also has a way out, no matter what, he can directly confront Lin Bi, pretending to be completely unaware of this matter, and then say a few words about young people not understanding things, and it will all be over."

  Du Wei ignored him and smiled disdainfully: "If it were in the past, Lin Zhanbei might not have dared to do such things. However, with Lin Yutian's exceptional talent, he joined the Fengpao Sect, and the Lin family grasped a thick leg. Naturally, Lin Zhanbei became restless."

  Du Wei was still talking non-stop, but Qin Hao's attention had already shifted to Qin Yuxian.

  Qin Yuxian looked at Lin Bi who walked up to him, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and said in a cold tone: "What does the young master of the Lin family mean? Please explain clearly."

  "Hmph." Lin Bi sneered, his smile somewhat mocking: "What else can be expected? The Qin family's power is indeed there, but are the younger generation too incompetent? Can't even find one or two capable men to come out and hold down the fort? Have to rely on a girl to barely prop it up?"

  Qin Yuxian's slender eyebrows rose, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. Then her expression turned solemn, and she stretched out both hands, as two clusters of crimson aura burst forth from her palms, revealing the full extent of her tenth-level Condensed Mystic power.

  "Lin family's young master wants to provoke trouble intentionally. Although Yu Xian is not strong enough, he can't help but ask for a lesson."

  Lin Bi sneered: "Indeed, the Qin family is no more. Miss Qin, a girl shouldn't be so quick to resort to violence. Today, I'll teach you that lesson."

  As soon as the voice fell, Lin Bi's palms also lit up with two golden lights, and there was a tendency to compete with Qin Yuxian.

  It's another Condensing Mystery of the Tenth Order. Many people in the arena were shocked. They didn't expect both to be at the tenth order, nor did they expect the conflict between them to erupt so quickly and violently.

  The atmosphere in the field was suppressed to the extreme, even the sound of breathing was suppressed, and it was unknown when the next spark would fall, thoroughly detonating this scene.

  Just then, a soft and lazy voice quietly sounded.

  "Yu Xian, no need to be so impulsive."
