Chapter 1466 - 1399: An Interesting Marquis's Residence!

Qin Feiyang noticed Yan Wei's concern and smiled, "Don't worry, he's already my prisoner. Even if he knows you're one of my people, he can't report to the State Preceptor."

"Prisoner?"

Yan Wei was slightly taken aback, then heaved a sigh of relief.

"Qin Feiyang's person?"

The burly man was also surprised, then yelled at Yan Wei, "You're actually a spy Qin Feiyang planted by the master's side, you deserve to die!"

Yan Wei sneered dismissively and looked at Qin Feiyang, "Where did you catch him?"

Qin Feiyang replied, "At Martial Marquis Shao's house."

"I didn't expect the State Preceptor to really make a move against Martial Marquis Shao."

Yan Wei furrowed his brow.

"What do you mean?"

Qin Feiyang asked, puzzled.

"When the Prince ascended, Martial Marquis Shao repeatedly raised objections. This annoyed the State Preceptor greatly; he even told me personally that he wanted to deal with Martial Marquis Shao."

"I originally thought he would entrust me with handling this matter, but I didn't expect him to send someone else."

"This person is called Ge Yong and is also one of the State Preceptor's most trusted confidants."

Yan Wei explained.

After listening, Qin Feiyang's mouth lifted slightly; unexpectedly, the visit to Martial Marquis Shao led to the capture of one of the State Preceptor's confidants.

This was truly an unexpected surprise.

No wonder this man is so stubborn, preferring death over betrayal.

Qin Feiyang waved at Yan Wei, "Alright, you go on with your work!"

"Okay."

Yan Wei nodded, glanced at Ge Yong, and then looked at Qin Feiyang worriedly, "This person must not be allowed to return alive to the State Preceptor."

"Rest assured, completely."

Qin Feiyang said with a smile. Then he closed the Image Crystal Stone and appeared in the ancient castle with Ge Yong in tow.

"Boss, since the State Preceptor wants to deal with Martial Marquis Shao, why not just eliminate him directly instead of placing someone by his side? Doesn't that seem redundant?"

As soon as Qin Feiyang appeared, Fatty asked suspiciously.

"Redundant?"

"Each major Marquis has ancestral protection; even if the State Preceptor had the courage, he wouldn't dare to kill a Marquis."

Qin Feiyang replied.

"It could be an assassination!"

"With the State Preceptor's abilities, it should be easy, right!"

Fatty said.

"It is indeed easy."

"But when Martial Marquis Shao raised objections at the central square, all civil and military officials saw it."

"Don't be fooled by those officials who usually seem timid and incompetent; they are actually very astute, all aware that Martial Marquis Shao angered the State Preceptor at that time."

"If Martial Marquis Shao were to be assassinated now, surely someone would suspect the State Preceptor."

"At this critical moment, the State Preceptor wouldn't dare to take that risk."

Qin Feiyang sneered.

"I see."

Fatty suddenly understood and looked at Ge Yong, "Then what do we do with this person?"

"He still has his uses."

"Watch over him, don't let him find a chance to commit suicide."

Qin Feiyang instructed and then disguised himself as before, concealing his cultivation, and appeared in the corridor of the Marquis' Mansion, glancing around, he walked towards the end of the corridor.

Before long.

A garden came into view.

In the garden, there was a girl of seventeen or eighteen wearing a light green long dress, her long black hair draped over her shoulder, with a delicate figure, looking youthful and beautiful.

The girl was squatting among a cluster of flowers, fiddling with a few wildflowers.

Beside her.

There were two maidservants accompanying her.

Qin Feiyang glanced at the girl and entered the garden.

"Who are you?"

Upon seeing Qin Feiyang, the two maidservants immediately became alert.

The girl in green also lifted her head to look at Qin Feiyang, her bright eyes carrying a hint of curiosity and suspicion.

Qin Feiyang walked opposite the three, looked at the girl in green, cupped his hands and smiled, "I am Nie Shan, seeking an audience with Martial Marquis Shao, I hope Miss can direct me."

"To see father?"

The girl in green was stunned, stood up, and looked at Qin Feiyang with suspicion, "Didn't anyone guide you?"

"So you are the daughter of Martial Marquis Shao."

Qin Feiyang muttered, smiling, "There was a guard leading the way just now, but he seemed to have something to attend to and left midway, merely pointing me in a direction to find on my own. However, this Marquis Mansion is really too big, and I'm at a loss as to where to find Martial Marquis Shao."

"Daring to neglect father's guest, these guards are becoming more and more unruly."

The girl in green was filled with anger at these words, then looked at Qin Feiyang with a smile, "I was about to see my father to pay my respects; why not accompany me!"

"That would be wonderful!"

Qin Feiyang expressed his delight, smiling.

"Please!"

The girl in green gestured.

"After you, Miss."

Qin Feiyang said.

The girl in green smiled, then turned and walked towards a lake in the distance.

The two maidservants glanced at Qin Feiyang and quickly followed her.

"Hm?"

Qin Feiyang raised his eyebrows, slowly watching from behind, observing the backs of the two maidservants with a mysterious glint in his eyes.

Earlier.

When those two maidservants looked at him, he sensed a flash of killing intent in an instant.

Although this killing intent was subtle and disappeared quickly, his keen perception made it clear that the killing intent did indeed appear.

However.

Because the time was too short, he couldn't distinguish from which maidservant the killing intent originated.

"This Marquis Mansion is indeed interesting."

Qin Feiyang shifted his gaze from the two maidservants, surveying the surroundings, and a playful smile gradually climbed onto his face.

Not long after.

Qin Feiyang followed the girl in green to the lake.

The lake measured about half a mile or so, its clear water rippling in layers under the wind, making this place very tranquil, with lush vegetation all around, teeming with life.

On the eastern side of the lake, a courtyard quietly nestled by the lakeside.

At this moment.

Outside the courtyard.

A middle-aged man in a purple long coat sat alone by a stone table, sipping tea while looking at the lake, his expression heavy with thoughts.

Indeed.

This was Martial Marquis Shao.

"Father is over there."

The girl in green said to Qin Feiyang, then sprinted towards the middle-aged man, calling out, "Father..."

The voice of the girl in green startled Martial Marquis Shao.

He looked up at the woman in green; the weathered face suddenly took on an expression of doting affection.

However, when he looked at Qin Feiyang, there was a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

Very soon.

The four of them walked up to Martial Marquis Shao.

"Greetings, Marquis."

The two maidservants bowed and said.

"I've met Martial Marquis Shao."

Qin Feiyang also cupped his hands in salute.

"Hmm."

Martial Marquis Shao nodded and looked at Qin Feiyang, asking, "Are you the one the guard talked about earlier?"

"Yes."

Qin Feiyang nodded.

Martial Marquis Shao asked, "What is your business with this Marquis?"

"This..."

Qin Feiyang glanced at the woman in green and the two maidservants.

As a Marquis, how could he not understand Qin Feiyang's meaning? He said indifferently, "There's no outsider here; feel free to speak."

"That's not necessarily true."

Qin Feiyang said meaningfully.

Martial Marquis Shao raised his eyebrows and pointed to the woman in green saying, "She's my daughter, and you still don't trust her?"

Qin Feiyang said, "Marquis's daughter naturally has no problem."

"What do you mean?"

"According to you, my two maidservants have a problem?"

"Don't be too presumptuous."

"They grew up with me, though ostensibly my maidservants, we are sisters at heart."

The woman in green said angrily.

"Cai'er, don't be rude."

Martial Marquis Shao scolded and looked at Qin Feiyang, "If you have something, say it quickly, otherwise I'll issue an eviction order."

"Alas!"

"Marquis is in dangerous circumstances now but is completely unaware; truly pitiful!"

Qin Feiyang sighed.

"Presumptuous!"

Martial Marquis Shao suddenly stood up, a terrifying imperial authority pressing towards Qin Feiyang.

Qin Feiyang's eyes flashed, he suddenly turned and darted towards the two maidservants.

"What are you doing?"

The two maidservants retreated in fear.

The woman in green's face changed suddenly, calling, "Father, quickly stop him!"

Martial Marquis Shao was furious, slapped a palm towards Qin Feiyang's back.

But Qin Feiyang did not pay attention, staring at the two maidservants, muttering, "Let's see how long you can hide?"

Boom!

The aura of a Five-Star War Emperor exploded!

"What?"

"So strong?"

Martial Marquis Shao was shocked and immediately used all his strength, battle intent bursting forth from his palm.

Simultaneously.

Qin Feiyang had arrived in front of the two maidservants, raised his hands and reached for their heads.

Ten fingers curved, resembling two eagle claws.

Scarlet sword qi encircled, emitting terrifying sharpness!

The two maidservants' faces lost color, not retaliating.

Qin Feiyang looked at them, grinning, "Continue to endure, and the only path left for you is death!"

The words were barely spoken.

One of the maidservants' eyes showed a fleeting struggle, then a terrifying imperial might surged from within!

It was actually a Nine-Star War Emperor!

"How is it possible?"

The other maidservant, the woman in green, all looked at that maidservant in horror.

Martial Marquis Shao also came to a sudden stop behind Qin Feiyang, face full of doubt.

The maidservant glanced at Martial Marquis Shao, then stared maliciously at Qin Feiyang, "Dare to ruin my plan, no matter who you are, you must die today!"

Having said this.

She swiftly raised her arm, slapping towards Qin Feiyang's chest.

"Just you?"

Qin Feiyang sneered, and stepped back quickly.

Simultaneously, with a thought, Thunder Leopard and the three creatures immediately appeared before him.

"What's going on?"

Faced with this sudden turn of events, the three creatures of Thunder Leopard were stunned.

"It's them!"

"Could this man be..."

At the same time.

Seeing Thunder Leopard and the three creatures appear, Martial Marquis Shao and that maidservant's faces changed, quickly looking at Qin Feiyang, a terrifying name emerging in their minds: Qin Feiyang!

Qin Feiyang shouted, "Stop talking, quickly disable her!"

"Disable who?"

The three creatures of Thunder Leopard turned to look at Qin Feiyang, confused.

Inside the ancient tower, they couldn't hear the commotion outside, so until now, they hadn't figured out the situation.

"Her!"

Qin Feiyang pointed at that maidservant.

Thunder Leopard and the three creatures looked at the maidservant, their eyes suddenly bursting with terrible fierceness.

Though they didn't know what was going on, the person Qin Feiyang designated to kill was undoubtedly an enemy.

Seeing this.

That maidservant turned and fled.

"Hey!"

Thunder Leopard grinned, transformed into a force of thunder, instantly catching up to that maidservant and slapped her back with a claw.

"Ah..."

The maidservant screamed, plunging into the lake below, splashing up monstrous waves.

Thunder Leopard stood in the void, disdainfully looking at the lake, "Second, third, it's up to you."

"Make a quick end."

Qin Feiyang added.

"Rest assured."

"We don't need five breaths to finish the fight."

"After all, we come from the Sea of Reincarnation; fighting in water is our forte!"

The seals and seahorses grinned sinisterly, turned into a stream of light, and with a grunt, disappeared into the lake.
