It was nothing; as soon as Xu Ping opened his mouth, Qin Xuan guessed what he wanted to do.
This Xu Ping was merely stepping out to play the villain, then letting the Third Prince come out to play the good guy, all to win over people's hearts.
For those in high positions, it's normal to hit someone and then offer a sweet date, or to have subordinates intentionally act as bad guys, and then step forward to be the good person who presides over justice.
In Qin Xuan's view, it was nothing to speak of.
Since the Third Prince wanted to use this method to show his Pay attention to for him, Qin Xuan naturally had to cooperate with him.
"This way, the Third Prince will surely feel that he has won me over, and I've cooperated with him as well."
Qin Xuan raised an eyebrow.
For the Third Prince to try and win him over with such methods was to underestimate him too much.
After all, Qin Xuan had stayed in the Tian Tomb for three hundred years, so he naturally saw many things more clearly than others.
As the banquet began, the sounds of stringed and wind instruments filled the air, and the dancing girls moved to the music, instantly heating up the atmosphere.
After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere grew even more lively.
"By the way, why haven't the Qin Family arrived yet? Didn't they say Qin Hao died and Qin Feng would take his place? Why hasn't he shown up yet?"
Someone suddenly asked.
"Yes, why is the Qin Family not here? The other three of the Four Great Families are here today, but the Qin Family isn't. This shouldn't be, right?"
Others immediately began to inquire.
Hearing this, the Third Prince was about to say something when, at that moment, hurried footsteps came from outside.
"Second Your Highness, you can't go in. The Third Your Highness is inside..."
A few guards at the door tried to stop the newcomer.
"Get out of my way! How dare a bunch of servants block me? You're tired of living!"
A furious shout came from outside, followed by a series of thuds.
After several screams, the previous guards no longer made a sound.
"Bang!"
Putting down his wine cup, Third Prince Yuan Jing slammed the table in anger. Just as he was about to get up, a group of people had already rushed in.
"Third Brother, you're enjoying yourself here alone, and you don't invite your elder brother over?"
Everyone looked up at the courtyard entrance.
A young man in his early thirties strode in, followed by several others.
"Second Brother, why are you here?"
Yuan Jing stood up coldly, looking at the other party with a formidable Aura.
Hearing this, the young man laughed and shook his head.
"Although this Huaqing Garden was bestowed upon you by Father Emperor, it's not so much that you wouldn't even welcome your brother, is it? Seeing that we've arrived, why aren't you quickly preparing a banquet?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Xuan already understood that this person was none other than the current Second Prince Yuan Ke of Da Qian Dynasty!
Yuan Ke led his people in, seemingly unconcerned. Seeing no place for himself, he snorted coldly and walked directly to the nearest table.
This table was originally occupied by several guests invited by the Third Prince, but seeing the Second Prince enter, they wanted to get up and offer their seats, but they were still a step too late.
Yuan Ke gestured to someone behind him, who immediately stepped forward and threw out all the people sitting at the table.
"This is more like it? Qin Feng, you and Brother Gu take your seats. As for Brother Yu, he should go to the main seat, that's where he belongs."
Saying this, Yuan Ke greeted the people behind him.
Qin Feng?
Qin Xuan raised an eyebrow and looked over.
The one who had just thrown people out was a young man, who was now arrogantly surveying his surroundings, his gaze finally settling on Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan understood.
It seemed the Qin Family had already shown Qin Feng his portrait, allowing Qin Feng to recognize Qin Xuan at first glance.
As Qin Feng looked at Qin Xuan, Qin Xuan was also staring at the Second Prince's side, though his gaze did not linger on the Second Prince or Qin Feng.
His gaze rested on a gloomy-faced young man behind the Second Prince.
Gu Xuantong!
Qin Xuan was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Gu Xuantong to be here, and his cultivation had also improved significantly.
In just a few months, Gu Xuantong's cultivation had also reached the Tian Xuan Realm, and he had even entered the Heavenly Profound Ninth Level.
This speed of progress was not inferior to Qin Xuan's.
Qin Xuan relied on various fortuitous encounters and the Refining God Cauldron.
This Gu Xuantong was merely a branch of the White Tiger Family.
For such a branch to have a way to forcibly raise their cultivation to the Heavenly Profound Ninth Level in such a short time, there must be some secret method involved.
Qin Xuan's mind raced, continuously pondering.
Qin Xuan stared at Gu Xuantong, and Gu Xuantong naturally stared back at Qin Xuan.
He had seen Qin Xuan the moment he walked in with the Second Prince.
The humiliation Qin Xuan had inflicted upon him immediately resurfaced in his mind.
The last time he fought Qin Xuan, he was subjected to all sorts of humiliation by Qin Xuan.
Not only was he beaten, but even the Bi Yun Bell, which he cherished, was taken by Qin Xuan.
If that item hadn't been a mere replica, and he hadn't obtained another Bi Yun Bell from his Family, he would have long since come to fight Qin Xuan to the death.
Even so, looking at Qin Xuan now, he was seething with anger.
"Damn it!"
By this point, Gu Xuantong was trembling with rage, desperate to attack Qin Xuan.
However, the memory of their last encounter made him feel a chill in his heart.
"Brother Gu, what's wrong?"
The Second Prince Yuan Ke beside him hurriedly asked Gu Xuantong.
After all, this Gu Xuantong was from the esteemed White Tiger Family; even if it was just a branch of the White Tiger Family, it was not something the Da Qian Dynasty could compare to.
Therefore, after getting to know Gu Xuantong, he had been very attentive to him, almost accommodating his every whim.
"Nothing, just saw an annoying fellow. Why is this guy here?"
Gu Xuantong glanced at Qin Xuan, feeling uncomfortable all over.
"An annoying fellow?"
Yuan Ke followed Gu Xuantong's gaze and immediately saw Qin Xuan. He started rubbing his fists together.
He was just thinking about how to curry favor with Gu Xuantong, and unexpectedly, someone had delivered themselves to his doorstep.
Turning his head to look at Qin Feng, Yuan Ke was about to instruct Qin Feng to deal with Qin Xuan.
But seeing Qin Feng also gritting his teeth, Yuan Ke was a bit puzzled.
"What's wrong, Qin Feng?"
Yuan Ke hurriedly asked Qin Feng.
Qin Feng turned around to look at Yuan Ke and cupped his hands towards him.
"Your Highness, this is the murderer who killed my clan brother Qin Hao today. My enemy is right here; please forgive my disrespect."
Saying this, Qin Feng cupped his hands towards Yuan Ke and strode towards Qin Xuan.
Seeing Qin Feng approach, Qin Xuan raised an eyebrow, looking at the other party with a hint of coldness.
This Qin Feng truly wanted to die.
"Enough!"
By this point, Third Prince Yuan Jing's good mood was finally completely ruined. He looked furiously at the Second Prince and Qin Feng.
"Yuan Ke, you are going too far! Today, I am here to prepare a banquet to entertain the Cultivator of our country who are about to go to the Kun Peng Nest. I am acting on Father Emperor's orders. How can you come here to cause trouble?"
