Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

Chapter 27 You are a member of the Wu family! (Please read and vote for me)

The Prince's Mansion is the center of the empire's power struggle, and all major forces have arranged personnel to gather intelligence in front of the Prince's Mansion.

Wu Qi and Qiangu Changkong were invited into the Prince's Mansion by Xue Qinghe. Many forces were secretly investigating their identities and origins.

In order to prevent their family members from offending people they cannot afford to offend, the nobles have posted portraits of the two of them in their families.

Wu Hao and the other two looked dazed and couldn't help falling into self-doubt.

Aren't we behaving like dandies?
Most people couldn't tell what was going on in their performance, but Wu Qi knew the Wu family too well.

Soon, a deep voice sounded from behind the crowd.

"Don't embarrass them. It's me who wants to find you."

The three men's men hurriedly made way for him. Wu Qinan gently twisted the jade bead with his left hand, put his right hand behind his back, and walked forward through the crowd.

"Greetings, Lord Marquis."

As a soul master, you don't have to kneel when meeting a noble, but you still have to show proper etiquette.

Qiangu Changkong bowed reluctantly and turned to step aside.

"Dad, he..." Wu Hao wanted to find an excuse for his failure, but was glared back.

Wu Qinan waved his hand, and the third young master of the Wu family left with his men without looking back.

He didn't act arrogantly, and said gently, "Young friend, could you please move? I think you look familiar. Perhaps we are actually related."

Wu Qi responded calmly, "I am honored to be a relative of the Marquis."

"But unfortunately, I'm afraid I'll disappoint the Marquis. I was only born in a small city. How can I climb up the social ladder?"

Wu Qinan heard the dissatisfaction in the words and smiled, "Don't you want to talk about it in detail? Who knows, maybe we are really relatives?"

There was no need for Wu Qi to avoid it. Having already cut ties with the Wu family, he certainly would not be fooled by a few words from the other party.

Turning around, he whispered a few words into Qiangu Changkong's ear and then left.

In the teahouse.

Just now, Wu Qinan secretly observed Wu Qi's every move.

The other party remained calm and composed when faced with the dandy young man, proving that he had a strong backer. The rumor was likely true, as Wu Qi was favored by Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.

But the indifference and disgust in the other person's eyes are puzzling.

The possibility of hostility arising from the first meeting is very low; and the other party is able to understand the personalities of Wu Hao and the other two, which clearly shows that he knows the Wu family very well.

How could Wu Qinan not know about the dirty dealings within the family?

Therefore, he suspected that Wu Qi himself came from the Wu family, but was forced to leave the family because of exclusion and suppression.

"You are a member of the Wu family!" Wu Qinan asked tentatively.

Bang bang bang~
Wu Qi applauded, "My Lord Marquis, are you just telling me a story?"

"I have to say, this story is indeed very fascinating. But Your Excellency, you can't conclude that I come from the Marquisate just based on my last name, right?"

"Don't forget, there are many people with the surname Xue in this world."

Wu Qinan was able to be promoted to a higher rank based on his military achievements. His meticulous observation skills are chilling. It is no wonder that he can see through the battlefield and achieve great military achievements.

"Oh? Am I overthinking this? Why don't you tell me where you were born?"

The only cities Wu Qi was familiar with on the mainland were Tiandou City and Wuhun City; however, when he read novels in his previous life, he also knew about Notting City and Soto City through the text.

"I was born in Notting, a city on the edge of the empire. It's just a small town, and I don't think the Marquis has heard of it."

Unfortunately, two years ago, Wu Qinan led his army through Nottingham and had some knowledge of the place.

Immediately, he asked about some things in Notting City. Wu Qi's fluent answers shattered his suspicions.

It was a small border city. Unless it was the place of one's birth, no one would pay much attention to the situation inside the city.

But Wu Qi's explanation was so logical that Wu Qinan had no doubt that it was true.

"It seems that I have overthought. My friend, please do as you please."

Wu Qi did not stay long and said goodbye and left.

Wu Qinan glanced at his back and couldn't help but murmur, "He's not a Wu family member, why does he feel familiar?"

……

Wu Qinan's suspicion was temporarily dispelled. Wu Qi and Qiangu Changkong purchased sufficient supplies and drove to Soto City three days later.

Inside the carriage, Qiangu Changkong couldn't help but complain: "The rumor is so strong, as soon as this car dealer heard that it was going to Soto City, the price immediately doubled."

Wu Qi did not explain, but he knew it well.

In Douluo Continent, the importance of public opinion is often overlooked.

Rumors in the city have led many nobles and merchants to want to visit Soto City. Supply and demand determine the price. The carriage company has a limited number of carriages, and with more people going, the price will naturally go up.

However, Wu Qi would not waste his money. According to the map in his hand, he set his destination as a city near Soto City, and passed Soto City on the way.

Although the distance is longer, the price of renting a car is much cheaper.

This matter must not be revealed to the coachman. When they arrive at Soto City, they can just get off the coach halfway.

In Tiandou City.

Ning Rongrong had already made up her mind to run away from home. Before leaving, she went to the Prince's Mansion and planned to say goodbye to Wu Qi briefly.

After learning about Wu Qi's whereabouts from Xueqinghekou, she couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

That way, they could meet in Soto City.

Without Ning Fengzhi's overprotection, she can contact whoever she wants!
Next, Ning Rongrong found someone to cover for her, successfully got rid of the guards sent by Ning Fengzhi, and got on the carriage to Soto City.

But she didn't know that the coachman was a secret guard sent by Ning Fengzhi!

After all, she is the daughter of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. If she runs away from home alone, Ning Fengzhi will definitely make arrangements.

Otherwise, if they were taken hostage, it would definitely be a disaster for the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

In the carriage, the driver spoke to Ning Rongrong with a kind expression, "Miss, you are going on a long journey alone. Didn't your family arrange for someone strong to accompany you?"

After leaving home, Ning Rongrong became more alert and did not respond to the driver's words.

"Old man, what fun places are there in Soto City? This is my first time there."

Ning Fengzhi had already explained this matter to the driver, and Ning Rongrong asked about it on her own initiative, which saved him a lot of trouble.

"I'm not bragging, I'm very familiar with everything in Soto City. Miss, considering your age, you should have just graduated from the Junior Spirit Master Academy, right?"

"There is a good college in Soto City. If you decide to settle down in Soto City, going to that college would be a good choice."

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had already secretly investigated the details of Shrek Academy.

The driver brought out Flanders's self-promotional rhetoric and successfully piqued Ning Rongrong's interest.

Ning Rongrong is a genius of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, so of course she wants to meet the geniuses on the continent.

Unconsciously, she had fallen into the "trap" carefully set by Ning Fengzhi, but she was still grateful for escaping the clutches of the sect.
