Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai

Chapter 488: A Battleground on the Eve of the Wedding, Sect Leader Zhou's Jealousy Erupts

A few wisps of sandalwood incense burned in the front hall of the Qin Prince's mansion, and Duan Yu sat on a wooden chair with a teacup in his hand.

Looking at the layout, Zhu Danchen exclaimed, "Your Highness, this Prince Qin's mansion looks much more grand than our Prince Zhennan's mansion."

Duan Yu nodded slowly, a bitter smile on his face.

This trip to Chengdu is to make friends with Brother Qin. As for Wang Yuyan, my father already told him everything in Dali.

The fairy sister became his half-sister.

When he first heard about it, his mind went blank, and he felt completely drained.

Recalling his father's heartfelt instructions to him, and all those younger sisters...

Zhong Ling is his sister, A Zhu and A Zi are also his sisters, and now even Wang Yuyan is his half-sister.

Just how many sisters does Brother Qin intend to marry in one go?

A sound came from the back hall, and Qin Han led Wang Yuyan out from inside.

"Brother Duan, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting here."

Duan Yu put down his teacup, stood up, and took two steps to greet him.

"Brother Qin, you're too kind. I came here specifically to offer my congratulations."

Wang Yuyan took Qin Han's arm and nodded slightly as a greeting.

Duan Yu looked at Wang Yuyan holding Qin Han's arm and couldn't help but feel a little bittersweet, but he mostly let it go.

This is my own sister; orthopedics is definitely not an option.

"Brother Qin, I brought some small gifts from Dali this time, and I hope you will accept them."

Qin Han laughed.

"Brother Duan, it's enough that you've come all this way. I will accept this kindness from Dali."

Before the other party could say what they had sent, a guard suddenly came in to report.

"Princess Shaomin of Mongolia has arrived!"

"Prime Minister Yelü Chucai of the Liao Dynasty has arrived!"

Upon hearing that someone else had arrived, Qin Han sighed helplessly to Duan Yu beside him.

"I have indeed been quite busy these past few days. Brother Duan, please sit down and rest for a while. I will go and take a look at the front."

Duan Yu could understand.

"Brother Qin, you can go. I'm fine with anything. I'll just take this opportunity to explore Chengdu."

Zhao Min entered another room dressed as a Mongolian noblewoman, with a gold crown on her head and a short curved knife hanging from her belt.

When Qin Han entered, she stared at him intently, her eyes filled with resentment.

Qin Han coughed awkwardly.

"Princess, you have traveled a long way to Chengdu. I have failed to greet you properly. This is an insult to me."

Zhao Min turned her head away and snorted.

"Your Highness, the King of Qin, is so grand! How could a mere woman like me deserve your personal reception?"

Qin Han said helplessly, "The wedding preparations are all crammed together, and I really can't spare the time."

Zhao Min bit her lower lip, ignoring Wang Yuyan beside her, and took two steps forward to scold her in a low voice.

"You heartless and ungrateful person, have you completely forgotten everything you promised me?"

Qin Han looked puzzled; this was fabricated out of thin air.

"Which deal is the princess referring to?"

Zhao Min's chest heaved with anger. What kind of ridiculous deal was this?!

That's not what she said when she was flirting with me.

Just then, Yelü Chucai led his entourage in.

"Your Highness, I have come to offer my congratulations on the orders of the Emperor of Liao."

Qin Han put on a smiling face and clasped his hands in greeting.

"Prime Minister Yelü has gone to great lengths. Please come inside and have a seat."

Wang Yuyan watched silently from the side, a bitter smile on her lips, inwardly grumbling.

Qin Lang himself couldn't avoid attracting romantic entanglements wherever he went, and the Mongolian princess's gaze just now clearly carried a hint of resentment.

Before they could finish exchanging pleasantries, another loud announcement came from outside.

"Master Yue of the Huashan Sect has arrived with the members of the Five Mountains Sword Sects!"

"Sect Leader Zhou of the Emei Sect has arrived!"

"Master Zhang of the Wudang Sect, and Hero Song have arrived!"

Qin Han got up and walked out of the covered walkway.

Yue Buqun looked much better these past few days. Since Linghu Chong's passing, the Huashan Sect has faced far fewer troubles.

"Sect Leader Yue, you've had a long journey. I hope you're well."

Yue Buqun quickly clasped his hands and bowed in return.

"For such a joyous occasion as Your Highness's wedding, it is only natural that our Five Mountains Sword Sect would like to come and offer our congratulations and join in the festivities."

Yue Lingshan, who was wearing a light pink dress, peeked at Qin Han and her face turned bright red.

She still remembered the scene of this prince showing off his skills on Mount Hua.

Qin Han caught a glimpse of her movements out of the corner of his eye and simply smiled slightly.

Master Zhang led Song Yuanqiao over for a stroll. Although the old man was already a hundred years old, he still walked with a steady gait.

Qin Han used to travel the martial arts world as Zhang Wuji's deceased elder brother, so now that he was meeting this elder in person, he naturally had to pay his respects according to the rules for juniors.

"Master Zhang has arrived. Please forgive me for any shortcomings in my hospitality."

Master Zhang grabbed his wrist.

"Your Majesty, you mustn't. I, an old Taoist priest, just wanted to join in the festive atmosphere and share in the joy."

Qin and Han took advantage of the situation to back down.

"It is an honor for my wife and me that you have graced us with your presence."

Zhou Zhiruo, dressed in the long robe of the Emei Sect Leader, stood at the back of the crowd, watching Qin Han and the guests exchange pleasantries in the courtyard.

Her eyes involuntarily reddened.

This person hasn't shown up for almost a year since he left last time.

Now that we finally get to meet, we have to maintain the airs of a sect leader and can't get close to each other freely.

Qin Han quickly noticed Zhou Zhiruo's location and walked over to her.

"How has Sect Leader Zhou been feeling lately?"

Zhou Zhiruo snorted.

"I'm not good, not good at all."

Qin Han's heart skipped a beat, and he casually glanced around.

"Let's talk about this privately somewhere later."

Yue Lingshan watched Zhou Zhiruo and Qin Han talking in hushed tones from a few steps away, and asked curiously:

"Father, look, why is the King of Qin only talking to that Master Zhou from the Emei Sect?"

Yue Buqun didn't think much of it.

"This is normal. The Emei Sect is located in Sichuan, so the two sects probably have frequent exchanges."

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Qin Han arranged for all the guests in the hall to be seated.

He came to a secluded side room in the backyard.

Zhou Zhiruo was sitting in the house waiting for him. As soon as she pushed open the door, she rushed straight into Qin Han's arms.

I couldn't hold back the tears welling up in my eyes.

"I don't want to be the leader of the Emei Sect anymore. I want to marry into the royal palace with them."

Qin Han tried to soothe him, his face full of helplessness.

"You're the proper head of the Emei Sect now, how can you speak like that without any manners?"

Zhou Zhiruo raised her tear-streaked face.

"Just give me a straight answer: do you still want me or not?"

Qin Han reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Of course I'll take you. How could I bear to leave you?"

Zhou Zhiruo took the opportunity to bury her head in his chest and rub against him.

"Then I'll stay here today and not leave. I'm not going back to Emei."

Qin Han felt somewhat helpless. Right now, he was only a powerful figure in Sichuan, and the leader of the Emei Sect was not allowed to marry.

If he wants to marry Zhou Zhiruo without any worries, he'll have to wait until after the upheaval in Lin'an.

"Don't be childish. Once I've sorted out all the details of this wedding, I will personally go to Mount Emei to propose marriage within a year."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo stopped crying and smiled.

"Then you have to keep your word and don't try to fool me."

Qin Han said indulgently, "If I were lying to you, I'd be a dog."
