Fantasy: Ten Dragons Compete for the Throne, I, the Villain, Choose to Play it Off

Chapter 149 Your Highness Qiye, what should I do with my Linglong?
"Not bad!"

Li Qiye didn't hide anything and nodded with a smile.

He casually placed the origami cranes on the stone table, his face full of smiles, and looked at Qin Rentu sitting next to him, laughing:

"General Qin, you returned to the capital after your victory, and instead of reporting to the palace, you came to my Seven Nights Prince's Mansion immediately. Aren't you worried about what others will say?"

Not bad!

The one who just spoke is Qin Rentu, the Grand General stationed in the country.

He had just returned from the northern frontier and hadn't even gone to see Emperor Yuan yet, but instead went to the Seven Nights Prince's residence.

Of course, Qin Linglong naturally followed along.

At this moment, she was sitting obediently to the side, still exuding a heroic air of someone who had been through many battles.

She would glance at Li Qiye from time to time, her eyes flashing with an inexplicable light.

"I don't care about other people's gossip."

Qin Rentu sneered, "If they have the ability, they can impeach me in front of His Majesty. I've been a pillar general of the state for too long, and war is like child's play to me. It's more comfortable to be an ordinary citizen."

Upon hearing this, Li Qiye knew that General Qin harbored resentment. He smiled and shook his head, saying, "General Qin, in fact, this is the best way to handle the matter of the secret realm. After all, a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."

"A secret realm that may hold the key to immortality is a deadly temptation for any superpower."

"I'm sure the old general understands this principle, and my father was just going with the flow by holding the Heavenly Pride Gathering, which directly involved the disciples of other super powers."

"Most importantly, they have all entered the secret realm and know what's inside, so those super powers will no longer pay too much attention to it."

"In this way, the Myriad Demon Palace, the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the Primordial Holy Land can only swallow their anger and suffer in silence."

"They opened the entrance to the secret realm and let everyone in, only to find that they had worked in vain and gained nothing."

In fact, how could Qin Rentu not understand this principle?

When the Great Zhou Dynasty activated its protective formation and sealed off the Imperial Mausoleum City, and then the three major powers inexplicably withdrew their troops, they had already guessed what was going on. They were just grumbling to Li Qiye.

"If we're talking about cunning and strategy, I'm far inferior to Your Majesty, not even close enough to match you."

Qin Rentu glared and puffed out his beard.

Li Qiye smiled but didn't say anything, inwardly agreeing with his statement.

His father was indeed a master strategist; before this, no one knew, not even Li Qiye.

No one discovered his mother's identity. This secret remained hidden in Emperor Yuan's heart for twenty years. If Li Qiye hadn't entered the Divine Tomb World this time and been trapped in a special time and space like his father had back then, he probably wouldn't have known about these things.

Seeing that Li Qiye remained silent, Qin Rentu also seemed bored and didn't continue the topic.

"Kid, is there really a secret to becoming an immortal in that secret realm?"

Qin Rentu couldn't help but ask.

In this world, which martial artist, regardless of strength, doesn't yearn to become an immortal?

This is something ingrained in one's very being.

"But it didn't."

Li Qiye shook his head directly.

Where in the world of the Tomb of the Gods is the mystery of becoming an immortal? It's full of funerary objects that, although they've become like living beings and there are even immortals and gods, are not the real ancestors and gods at all.

"Oh, that's a pity."

Qin Rentu shook his head, looking quite regretful.

In fact, Qin Rentu's lifespan is still very long. Now that he has reached the ninth level of the Void Realm, he has a lifespan of several thousand years.

He is very likely to reach the Saint Realm, making him arguably the strongest person in the history of the Qin family. He will have a lifespan of tens of thousands of years, enough to support the Qin family for a very long time.

Becoming an immortal is an unwavering pursuit etched in one's heart; who wouldn't want to become an immortal upon reaching such a level?

"General Qin, you've come to my residence this time for more than just these questions, haven't you?" Li Qiye asked Qin Rentu with a smile.

You can find the answers to the questions I just mentioned by asking anyone.

After all, many people entered the secret realm at that time, and many witnessed it all.

"Of course there are other things as well."

Qin Rentu looked at Li Qiye and said, "Your Highness Qiye, how are you going to deal with my Linglong?"

puff!

Li Qiye had just finished drinking his tea when he spat it out, his lips twitching involuntarily.

He glanced at Qin Linglong, whose face was flushed, and said with a wry smile, "General Qin, what are you saying?"

"Your Highness, let's not beat around the bush."

Qin Rentu glanced at Li Qiye and said irritably, "You used to pester my Linglong for a long time and even planned to propose to me. Now that I've agreed, let's see what you do with it."

"grandfather……"

Qin Linglong's face was flushed red, a mixture of embarrassment and anger. She hadn't expected her grandfather to be so blunt, and she felt like crawling into a hole.

"This one……"

Li Qiye glanced at Qin Linglong, then looked at Qin Rentu and said, "General, this can't be done this way."

"Besides, we should at least ask Linglong's opinion, don't you think?"

He paused for a moment, then continued, "As you know, the marriage alliance between our Great Zhou and Northern Wei is still ongoing. I have been chosen as the bride, and the wedding will take place in a few days. General, you should think it over carefully before making a decision."

Li Qiye's words were also very straightforward.

Why would you turn away something that's offered to you? Besides, Qin Linglong is just as beautiful as Wei Lingshuang. The fact that my predecessor liked Qin Linglong so much speaks volumes.

Initially, Li Qiye didn't want to have anything to do with Qin Linglong because she was the female lead and had a close relationship with the protagonist of destiny, Xiao Yun.

But Xiao Yun is already dead, so what does it matter?

Now that things have come to this, he naturally can't refuse.

Just like Wei Ling Shuang, who already had a lot of troubles, marrying her would mean offending Wei Chang Ge, the crown prince of Northern Wei.

But once you've kissed, how can you let him go?

Li Qiye was unwilling to cause trouble, but that didn't mean he was afraid of trouble.

Upon hearing this, Qin Rentu frowned.

Looking at the silent Qin Linglong, he sighed inwardly: "If my silly granddaughter didn't like you that much, I would never have let her become a concubine. Our Qin family can't afford to lose face like that. But what can we do now?"

He naturally knew his granddaughter Qin Linglong's personality.

Once a decision is made, no one can change it.

She is passionate and decisive; if she hates someone, she hates them to the core, but if she likes someone, she likes them to the core as well.

Her personality is exactly the same as her aunt's.

Qin Rentu felt a pang of pain in his heart when he thought of his exceptionally talented daughter who died young.

He knew that if he did everything in his power to stop it, Qin Rentu would probably leave the Qin family, and Qin Rentu would definitely not be able to bear such pain.

Just as he was about to speak, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.

"Get out of my way! I'm here to find my daughter. What kind of dogs are you to dare block my way?"

"Your Highness Qiye, I know you are inside, why do you dare not come out to see me?"

A domineering and angry voice came from outside the courtyard.
