Gao Wu Da Qin: You don't want your secret to be known, do you?

Chapter 132 Front Page Scandal in the Three Realms: Qin Feng's Illegitimate Child's Mother Suspected to be Yang Chan

Within the Dragon Palace, luxury is not without majesty, and elegance is not without grandeur.

Jade pillars, coral steps, clam maidens holding flowers, and mermaids dancing.

Shrimp soldiers lined up on the left and right, escorted by crab generals in front and behind.

Tortoises and fish roe lined the road to welcome them, waving all sorts of exotic flowers, creating a lively scene.

Looking up, you can see neon banners fluttering on both sides.

"A warm welcome to Qin Feng, the wandering charioteer, to the East China Sea!"

"The arrival of the Sage's disciples brings glory to our humble abode in the East Sea! All living beings of the East Sea bow in reverence to the Sage's disciples!"

"The people of the East China Sea warmly welcome the disciples of the sage to inspect the East China Sea and guide our work!"

This scene reminded Qin Feng of the grand occasions in his previous life when important figures held state visits with each other.

It must be said that Donghae was impeccable in terms of etiquette. They had rehearsed at least hundreds of times, waiting for this day!

Qin Feng first chatted and reminisced with the enthusiastic turtle grandson and fish roe, and then, accompanied by the Crown Prince, inspected the East Sea's honor guard, which consisted of shrimp soldiers, crab generals, and giant whales with halberds—it was quite a sight.

To welcome them, Donghai even set up a small mecha formation!

Watching the mechs march past in neat salutes, Qin Feng could only think that when it comes to cyberpunk, the Ao family really comes to the forte! Their style is truly dazzling and visually stunning! The Qin Dynasty can't compare to the East China Sea in this regard!

"Brother Qin, this way please!"

"good!"

Ao Cheng walked ahead, enthusiastically introducing, "The East Sea is a remote and desolate place. If there is any lack of etiquette, please forgive me, Young Master Qin."

"Not at all!" Qin Feng said with a smile. "Brother Ao, you are too kind. I am very satisfied with the etiquette of the East Sea."

Ao Cheng said, "Today's feast was meticulously prepared by my father! It was a banquet held to honor the court of the King of Xiaojing back then. Even I have never seen such a feast before. Brother Qin is in for a treat."

Qin Feng smiled and said, "The Dragon Lord has put his heart into it."

As they passed a coral corridor, Qin Feng saw several people standing like turtles with their shells on their backs, wearing black robes and carrying two swords at their waists, sparring and fighting in the training ground not far away.

These turtles are different from the pointed-headed turtle prime ministers in novels. They are big and burly, with bulging muscles and smooth shells. At first glance, they look just like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

Qin Feng hesitated and asked, "What are these?"

Ao Cheng glanced at them and said, "The Tide Spirit Turtle lineage, the descendants of the East Sea Turtle Prime Minister. Ignore them; a bunch of brainless idiots who are good for nothing but causing trouble!"

Ao Cheng, a man skilled in social maneuvering, actually expressed his hatred for the other party directly.

It was obvious that Ao Cheng didn't like these Ninja Turtles.

Similarly, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the other side also saw Qin Feng and greeted him enthusiastically, "Brother Long! Come and have some fun!"

"Is this Qin Feng, the world's traveling coachman? I am the Invincible Turtle of the Tide Spirit Turtle lineage! May I have the honor of sparring with you?"

"Mr. Qin, please enlighten me!"

Faced with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' invitation, Ao Cheng initially wanted to pull Qin Feng away, but Qin Feng stopped and smiled at the turtles, saying, "Alright! Let's have a simple spar!"

Seeing Qin Feng readily agree to join the game, Ao Cheng hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Let me tell you, this is a disciple of a sage. You lot shouldn't seek trouble. Don't dawdle here and ruin the Dragon Lord's mission!"

The burly, dark-skinned ninja turtle leader looked at Ao Cheng disdainfully. "Your Highness, there's still some time before the banquet begins! Instead of going there for tea, why don't you have a martial arts contest here? Even the disciples of the Sage haven't said anything, why are you getting so excited, you turtle!"

Several turtles nearby also started to egg him on, leaving Ao Cheng speechless.

Qin Feng patted Ao Cheng on the shoulder, "Want to have some fun? It's fine!"

Ao Cheng could only stand to one side and watch Qin Feng walk into the middle of the turtles.

One of the Ninja Turtles, nearly 1.7 meters tall, stepped forward. It had dark skin, wore full-body armor, and held two long swords in its hands. It clasped its hands in a fist salute to Qin Feng, saying, "Tide Spirit Turtle, invincible turtle, please enlighten me, Mr. Qin!"

Qin Feng picked up a knife and said with a smile, "I wouldn't dare presume to offer guidance, but how about we spar for fun?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gui Wudi transformed into a hurricane and charged forward. Qin Feng reacted incredibly quickly, holding his long sword horizontally in front of him and blocking both of Gui Wudi's swords!

During the standoff between the man and the tortoise, the flames suddenly died down and the power exploded.

Gui Wudi stared intently at Qin Feng, "Why did you enter the East Sea, sir? Your entry will plunge the East Sea into endless war! Can't you spare the lives of all living beings in the East Sea?"

Qin Feng looked at Gui Wudi, who was standing right in front of him, and said, "Brother Wudi, you flatter me! I, Qin Feng, am nowhere near as powerful as you think!"

Gui Wudi asked, "If I injure you, sir, would that stop you from entering the East Sea?"

Qin Feng squinted. "You were waiting for me here?"

Gui Wudi said, "I only want to do my part to stop a bloodbath in the East Sea! Forgive me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gui Wudi suddenly crossed his two swords, only to see the world turn into one color, with ink gathering together. The two long swords tilted like the convergence of the bright moon, clearly a top-grade killing move!

Seeing this, Ao Cheng realized something was wrong; the invincible turtle grandson was serious!

Just as Ao Cheng was about to make a move to stop them, several turtle clan experts behind him pinned him to the spot!

Ao Cheng was furious, cursing incessantly, "You damned turtle clan! Are you trying to assassinate the coachman? Do you want to implicate the East Sea? Can you withstand the Master's wrath? A bunch of good-for-nothings..."

During the battle, Qin Feng held his longsword and looked at the crescent moon blade light that crossed the two moons. His heart was clear and pure, and his mind was enlightened.

Qin Feng had already seen through the strength of these coins; at most, they were only at the third realm!

Although the third realm suppressed him by two major realms, it wasn't a big problem!

Qin Feng didn't even need to transform to easily crush his opponent.

Just as the lingering moonlight fell before him, he saw Qin Feng holding his longsword horizontally in front of him, his right hand gripping the hilt, his left hand gently wiping the blade, silently chanting, "Secret Technique: Draw Sword Slash!"

On the longsword, terrifying bursts of blood energy gathered into sword intent, howling out in all directions!

In an instant, the area in front of Qin Feng transformed into a hellish landscape of blood and sword light.

The two crescent-shaped blade lights were instantly torn to shreds, and Gui Wudi was slashed hundreds and thousands of times all over his body!

The battle began in the blink of an eye and ended in the blink of an eye.

The scholar's robe fluttered in the wind, and Gui Wudi's sword finally stopped an inch away from Qin Feng!

Gui Wudi's pair of gleaming green eyes were fixed on Qin Feng. "The source of war, the scourge of chaos. Your entry into the East Sea will surely bring unrest. It's a pity my skills are inferior, otherwise I would have taken your life..."

Qin Feng looked calmly at Gui Wudi, "You think killing me will quell the conflicts of the world? You underestimate the contradictions of this world!"

"The grudges within the Three Realms have run deep, to the point where they must be resolved; hence the need for the 'Walking Across the World'!"

"The original intention of the World Travelers is not to destroy all living beings, but to protect them. Only by waging war at the lowest cost and keeping the flames of war within a certain range can we protect the most living beings and common people!"

"Your vision and understanding are too narrow. If you don't broaden your horizons, even if you cultivate for another thousand or ten thousand years, you will never be my match!"

At this moment, Ao Cheng also broke free of control, and a large number of shrimp soldiers and crab generals rushed over, tied up the troublemaking ninja turtles, and escorted them away.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Qin!"

"These jinxes! They're incredibly audacious!"

"You must believe me, this is absolutely not what we in Donghai meant to you! This is the fault of those bastards!"

"I will definitely kill them all to avenge you, sir. Please don't worry about it!"

Qin Feng smiled slightly, indicating that the children were ignorant and there was no need to lower himself to their level.

Ao Cheng felt relieved and became even more cautious and enthusiastic in leading the way.

Qin Feng also realized that the situation in the East China Sea was far more complicated and acute than he had imagined.

The war faction and the peace faction fought fiercely and to an extreme degree!

My arrival will give the pro-war faction the upper hand, and the pro-peace faction will be completely defeated!

Judging from the invincible look in that tortoise's eyes, it had no intention of living. The fact that a tortoise was willing to kill itself without hesitation undoubtedly shows that the Spirit Tortoise faction represents the pro-peace faction, while the Ao family's Dragon Lord lineage represents the pro-war faction.

The pro-war faction is willing to fight to avenge Chen Tang Pass and wipe away the shame! After all, the current Dragon King of the East Sea, Ao Jia, is the elder brother of Ao Bing, the former Third Prince of the East Sea! How could an elder brother not want to avenge his younger brother!

The peace faction was unwilling to participate in the war, after all, the casualties of the dragon race were a small matter, but the casualties of the creatures of the East Sea were a big one. The lineage of Prime Minister Turtle was undoubtedly desperately trying to dissuade the Dragon King from starting the war.

I came to the East Sea to weaken the power of the Heavenly Realm, and the Heavenly Realm and the Human King are enemies!

Therefore, at this moment, whoever follows the King of Men is my ally, Qin Feng, and I will protect them!

Anyone who doesn't acknowledge the Human King and follows the Heavenly Realm is my enemy, Qin Feng's enemy, and will be purged!

Having clarified the purpose of the meeting, Qin Feng followed Ao Cheng to the banquet hall.

This grand feast, though filled with delicious food, is sure to be rife with intrigue and violence, and will be anything but peaceful.

In the main hall of the Dragon Palace, graceful clam spirits and exquisitely beautiful mermaids, with every frown and smile, displayed beauty never before seen in the mortal world.

Before long, the sound of drums resounded, as if the Dragon King had made his appearance.

Outside the gate, clouds rose, and a majestic sea king with a dragon's head and a human body strolled over.

The dragon king is ten feet tall, with a huge body. The dragon's head and body are perfectly matched. It is the kind of dragon that you will not find abrupt at first glance. On the contrary, you will feel that it should have had a dragon head all along.

No wonder my uncle said that dragons are only seen from the front and never from the back. If you want to recognize a dragon, you only need to remember what its face looks like. No matter how it changes, the head of its head will never change.

"Master Meng, accompanied by his charioteer Qin Feng, pays his respects to the Dragon Lord!"

Qin Feng bowed respectfully, not daring to be negligent.

The Dragon King sat upright in the main seat, his voice hearty and cheerful, "Your Highness, you are too polite. Please, have a seat!"

"Thank you for the seat, Lord Dragon!"

Qin Feng sat upright to one side, and sitting opposite him was a turtle prime minister with green skin, a white mustache, and wearing an official robe.

The host and guests sat in two rows, clinking glasses and exchanging toasts.

The interactions between important people are usually simple and unpretentious, without any set routines.

After a few polite exchanges, the Dragon King waved his sleeve, dismissing all the maids and beautiful servants. Only Qin Feng, the Dragon King, and the Turtle Prime Minister remained at the grand banquet.

The Dragon King sat on his coral throne, looking down at the world below. "In the past, when King Yu controlled the floods, he was grateful for the merits of the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas and bestowed titles upon them. Today, I am fortunate to meet the descendants of Emperor Ku. It is truly an honor beyond measure!"

Qin Feng smiled and said, "You're too kind, Dragon Lord! We are all of the same lineage of the Kings, and it is our duty to serve the Kings!"

The Dragon King laughed and asked, "In your opinion, when will the Human King appear?"

Qin Feng, holding his wine cup, said, "After the world is traversed, the fate of humanity will be determined, and the era of great strife will begin. Seven kingdoms will vie for supremacy, just like the Battle of Zhuolu in the past. The one who emerges victorious will surely overthrow the Zhou emperor and become the king of this world!"

The Dragon King nodded, "My view is the same as yours, sir. The world today is in turmoil, the seven kingdoms are constantly at war, the eighteen grotto heavens are rife with contradictions, and the celestial beings are plotting endlessly. All of this shows that this great strife is inevitable and unavoidable. Even the East Sea, which is in a corner of the world, cannot escape this great calamity!"

Dragon King's words were like the opening remarks of a leader from the previous era, setting the tone for the current meeting: the East Sea was granted by the Human King, and if there is unrest among the human race, the East Sea must participate in the war!

Secondly, a great struggle is inevitable, so casualties in the East China Sea are unavoidable. So don't bring up that stupid topic of damage to the East China Sea. I don't care how many people die in the East China Sea. I just want to participate in and embrace this great struggle, not be marginalized by it!

Qin Feng agreed with what Long Jun said. Qin Feng came here to stir up trouble, to win over the East Sea to the side of the Human King, and to crush all the forces that were not on the Human King's side!

It seems that the force Qin Feng needs to crush is the one led by Prime Minister Turtle!

But the Turtle Prime Minister on the other side probably wouldn't be able to accept this.

The Turtle Prime Minister has always used the life of the East Sea to pressure the Dragon Lord. Now the Dragon Lord will definitely change his tune, and with the strategist coachman watching from the sidelines, it's clearly a two-on-one situation, putting him at a disadvantage.

But that doesn't mean that Prime Minister Turtle is easy to deal with.

The Turtle Prime Minister put down his wine cup and continued the Dragon Lord's words, "In the struggle for power, there is glory and destruction. In the Battle of Zhuolu in the past, Chi You's lineage was almost wiped out. Emperor Xuanyuan Yan dominated the four seas and eight wastelands, and the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms was even worse than before. If we choose the wrong side, we may have to follow the old path of Chi You's clan!"

As soon as Prime Minister Gui finished speaking, Qin Feng smiled slightly and said, "Prime Minister, you are mistaken! Although Chi You was defeated in the Battle of Zhuolu, Xuanyuan did not annihilate Chi You's tribe. On the contrary, he treated the tribe well and even set aside a special area in the North Sea to provide for the survival of other tribes such as the Dongyi tribe, including the later demon race!"

"On the other hand, there were some tribes that wavered around the Battle of Zhuolu, such as the Kuafu, Yelang, and Beirong!"

"These tribes waited on the fence for victory, but unexpectedly, Chi You Xuanyuan first destroyed them, crushing them before the final battle began!"

"From this, it is not difficult to arrive at a truth: once a great era of contention arrives, the real catastrophe will not be those who take sides, but those who choose to side with a third party and remain on the sidelines!"

"These fence-sitters are hated by both sides, and they will inevitably be the first to be purged!"

"The Prime Minister's suggestion to have the third party in the East Sea remain neutral, waiting for the seven kingdoms to determine a victor before deciding which side to join, is undoubtedly utterly naive!"

"Let's not even talk about whether the seven kingdoms will accept the East Sea after the battle is over. I'm afraid that before the seven kingdoms even start fighting, one of them will come out and flatten the East Sea!"

"The seven states aren't fools. Neither the six states nor Qin would agree to a third party stealing the fruits of their victory!"

"In that case, wouldn't the East Sea perish before the era of great strife?"

Upon hearing Qin Feng's words, the Dragon King on the throne burst into laughter, clapping and praising, "Your Highness truly lives up to your reputation as the top scholar in all three categories, especially in literature! Such eloquence is indeed a profound truth, well said!"

The Dragon King made no attempt to hide his delight in Qin Feng, a scene that hinted at how disgusted the Turtle Prime Minister had been with him these past few days, yet he was powerless to do anything about it.

Now that a master of arguing has arrived, if you, Prime Minister Turtle, can beat this top-ranked humanities student in arguing, then you're truly amazing!

The Turtle Prime Minister realized he might not be able to win the argument with the coachman in front of him, so he quickly changed the subject, "I've heard that His Highness the Crown Prince once invented the [Ancient God Flow] mecha, and livestreamed the construction of the mecha in front of hundreds of billions of humans, which amazed countless people!"

"Our East Sea has long been known for its weaponry, and most of the mechs in the East Sea were developed by our Turtle Clan. I wonder if Your Highness would be willing to exchange a few skills with us?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng chuckled inwardly, thinking to himself, "Old turtle, you're playing dirty tricks!"

The second match has been scheduled for me so quickly!

This is a mecha sparring match with you guys, and it's on your turf. I'm afraid I'll have to go all out to suppress you!

Although I, Qin Feng, am skilled and unafraid to compete with you in skill, I don't want my opponents to learn my techniques!

Especially since we've already drawn our swords and started sparring, and you're telling me you want to have a friendly match with me, then forcing me to reveal my true skills so you can learn my techniques, wouldn't I be at a huge disadvantage?

But if Qin Feng doesn't agree, he will undoubtedly lose!

The old tortoise's strategy is to cut off both ends!

You, Qin Feng, won the first duel, but no matter what, I, the Turtle Prime Minister, am determined to win the second one!

Faced with the Turtle Prime Minister's provocation, Qin Feng chuckled and said to the Dragon Lord, "As the strategist said, a single place or city is but a minor matter! It doesn't affect the overall situation! Similarly, differences in mecha technology are merely details and cannot affect the big picture!"

"If it's a contest of mecha forging skills, Qin Feng isn't afraid of your Turtle Clan. However, since traveling the world with the Master, Qin Feng has come to understand one thing: forging mecha can't save the world!"

"Qin Feng has a project with even greater potential than mecha technology, which can strengthen the East Sea. I wonder if Dragon Lord is interested?"

Upon hearing this, the Dragon King said, "Young Master, why don't you tell me?"

Qin Feng said, "Dragon Lord, you must have heard of the World Travelers Foundation!"

Long Jun nodded, "I've heard a thing or two about it. They say the guild leader is called Qi Tian!"

"That's right!" Qin Feng said, "President Qi Tian and I, Qin Feng, are like brothers, and the Foundation possesses the wealth of seven nations and the talents of the Hundred Schools of Thought! Consider it a human alliance!"

"Now that the foundation has just opened, it's the perfect opportunity to forge trade alliances with other countries!"

"If Donghai intends to form an alliance with the Foundation, it will undoubtedly reap many benefits! And among these, the three greatest benefits are none other than these three!"

"Firstly, the Foundation has spies in seven countries, enabling it to provide the East China Sea with the most timely internal intelligence, giving the East China Sea a competitive edge in this era of great strife! Regardless of which side the East China Sea joins, the Foundation can act as its introducer!"

"Secondly, the Foundation owns its own import and export ports. If the products of the East China Sea want to enter the outer universe's solar system, they would probably be exploited by many blessed lands. With the Foundation handling the transactions, all fees are waived, and it can also communicate with the outer universe, exchanging goods and resources. It can import a large amount of industrial raw materials such as classical mechs and technological knowledge from the human world, thus improving the technological level of the East China Sea!"

"Thirdly, the alliance between the East China Sea and the Foundation, which is essentially the logistical support for Master Fu's travels around the world, means that if something happens to the East China Sea, it means something happens to the Foundation, which means Master Fu is not giving face! And for the next 60 years, Master Fu will be in charge! Such a protective umbrella for 60 years is enough for the East China Sea to complete several industrial revolutions and keep up with the technological pace of the outer universe, instead of being confined to a corner and being eliminated by the times!"

These three regulations were undoubtedly tailor-made by Qin Feng for Donghai.

Intelligence, technology, protection!

The consequences of refusing are severe.

Lacking intelligence and technologically backward, Confucius will thoroughly annihilate the East China Sea! It's impossible for the East China Sea to be without problems! We're very familiar with making a mountain out of a molehill! Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!

Faced with Qin Feng's three questions, the Dragon Lord did not answer immediately, but smiled and said, "It's getting late today, why don't you go and rest early, Your Highness?"

Qin Feng stood up. "Then Qin Feng takes his leave! Farewell, Prime Minister Turtle!"

Prime Minister Turtle rose and bowed to bid farewell to Qin Feng. As he watched the scholar's figure gradually disappear into the distance, the wine cup in Prime Minister Turtle's hand shattered with a crash!

In the vast royal palace, the Turtle Prime Minister's eyes gleamed. "Your Majesty, everyone knows this boy's intentions! He's here to threaten our East Sea!"

Looking at the empty hall, the Dragon Lord said, "So what if you threaten us? Can you defeat Master Meng, who is at the Great Perfection of the Eleventh Realm? Or can I defeat Master Meng?"

"Master Meng was able to wipe out hundreds of thousands of demons on Meishan Mountain all by himself! This proves that if Master Meng wanted to, he could easily slaughter the entire East Sea!"

"But Master Mencius did not directly unleash the sword; instead, he had the coachman give him a warning first. This was already showing mercy."

The Turtle Prime Minister said, "But didn't Your Majesty and the other three Dragon Kings pay their respects to Master Meng overnight some time ago?"

The Dragon King smiled sheepishly, "Paying respects? I did pay my respects, but I didn't see you!"

"The four of us went together, intending to first apologize with thorns on our backs and ask Master Meng to be lenient with us."

"But the four of us didn't see Master Meng at all; we were just stopped outside the courtyard by the cooks!"

"That cook, Ming, is of Emperor Ku's bloodline and possesses the ultimate skill, the 'Ghost Axe Divine Skill.' Legend has it that this 'Ghost Axe Divine Skill' was created by the ancestral witch Emperor Jiang of the Witch Clan after he killed countless powerful demons. It's a set of killing moves specifically designed to deal with demons!"

"I, the Dragon Lord of the Four Seas, am ultimately a demon. The four of us sparred with the chef, and in less than ten moves, the chef had a knife to my neck! The other three princes could only bow their heads in submission."

"If I had bowed my head and admitted defeat even a fraction of a second later that night, that cook would have dared to turn me into dragon meat soup to serve to the master!"

The Turtle Prime Minister sighed, "This, this, if even the kitchen is so powerful, is there truly no hope for the East Sea? In this old minister's opinion, perhaps, perhaps we should just seek refuge with the Celestials!"

The Dragon King looked at the Turtle Prime Minister, "Seek refuge with the Celestials? What a dream! Look at what happened to the Eight Eccentrics of Meishan! They did seek refuge with the Celestials, but what was the result? The Celestials had Master Meng exterminate their entire clan!"

"Today, the celestial beings want to find Guanjiangkou and Chentang Pass to replace the Eight Eccentrics of Meishan, but these two places would rather anger Master Meng than serve as lackeys for the celestial beings!"

The Turtle Prime Minister sighed, "Your Majesty's words are clear to this old minister, but we are now uncertain whether Master Meng is on the side of Heaven and Man or on the side of the Human King!"

The Dragon King sat on his throne and after a long while murmured, "Perhaps, Master Meng is neither on nor off! He is simply on his own side!"

The Turtle Prime Minister said, "But Qin Feng's words clearly mean we should side with the Human King!"

Long Jun said, "Qin Feng and Master Meng's views are not aligned! Master Meng won't ask us to take sides, but the coachman will!"

The Turtle Prime Minister seemed to realize something. "Your Majesty, is it possible that if we refuse Qin Feng and then privately explain the reasons to Master Meng, he will release us?"

"Are you getting dementia?!" Long Jun exclaimed. "Didn't I already tell you? We went to see Master Meng in secret, but did we even get to see him? No! We almost got chopped up and made into soup by the cook! If we could have seen Master Meng, we wouldn't have had to meet with the coachman today!"

The Turtle Prime Minister stroked his mustache. "Qin Feng is a minister of Qin. Qin's will is undisguised: to unify the four seas and eight wastelands. Then Ying Zheng will become the king of this era! As for Master Meng's refusal to meet with the Dragon Lord, it shows that Master Meng is unwilling to offend Ying Zheng, nor does he want to get involved in the great struggle to come. He just wants to live out his sixty years!"

"In that case, I think we should agree to Qin Feng's offer and cultivate good relations with the foundation!"

Long Jun asked, "And then? Then you're tied to the Foundation's war chariot and sent to attack Chen Tang Pass?"

The Turtle Prime Minister said, "Hasn't Your Majesty always wanted to attack Chen Tang Pass?"

The Dragon King stamped his foot, "Thinking and doing are two different things! Don't I know whether I can do it or not? If I could just attack, I would have done it long ago!"

"Do you think Chentang Pass is easy to deal with? The Yangjiahe and Li families are just two obstacles pushed out by Zhuolu! The real power in Zhuolu belongs to another family!"

"Are those people easy to deal with? If we go there, our East China Sea will likely suffer a major blow!"

The Turtle Prime Minister asked awkwardly, "Then, Dragon Lord, what should we do about this?"

After pondering for a moment, the Dragon Lord said, "This matter still needs to be discussed further with the Celestials!"

"For now, keep Qin Feng calm and let him stay in the Dragon Palace for a few more days!"

"I'll take the conditions Qin Feng gave me and see how Tianren responds. If Tianren doesn't give an answer, then we'll cooperate with the Foundation!"

The Turtle Prime Minister said, "That's the only way!"

Inside the palace, the master and servants discussed the matter, their hearts filled with anxiety and exhaustion.

Outside the palace, Qin Feng was initially in high spirits and full of pride, but his good mood quickly vanished.

There was no other reason than Ao Cheng barging into Qin Feng's residence with a message.

"Brother Qin, your scandal is actually headline news across the Three Realms! It's the hottest topic in both the mortal realm and the immortal realm!"

"Brother Qin truly lives up to his reputation as the most troublesome disciple of the School of Diplomacy among humankind; his mere appearance is enough to make headlines throughout the Three Realms!"

Qin Feng was a little confused. My scandal?

No way!

I might be called shameless or heartless, but I've always been very conservative when it comes to relationships. I've only ever had some scandalous news with Gu Niantong; otherwise, I'm a clean-cut, sophisticated guy!

Qin Feng took Ao Cheng's phone and looked at the news: "[Breaking News] Front-page Scandal: The mother of Qin Feng's illegitimate child is suspected to be Yang Chan of the Yang family from Zhuolu Cave in the Earthly Immortal Realm!"

Upon seeing this title, Qin Feng almost spat out a mouthful of blood!

I'm so idiot! Who the hell wrote this rumor? It's ridiculous!

I'm a young, unmarried man, and I'm still a bastard. How dare you say I have an illegitimate child, and you even managed to drag Yang Jian's sister, Yang Chan, into this!

Are the Third Holy Mothers easy to mess with? Are Erlang Shen easy to deal with? Is this scandal trying to kill me?!

Ao Cheng enthusiastically opened the gossip page for Qin Feng, and a gossip reporter's voice came through: "Our channel's 'Hundred Schools of Thought' news channel is breaking news! Qin Feng, a disciple of the School of Diplomacy, has a son out of wedlock, which has been personally confirmed by Lord Xinling! At the same time, according to a special interview by a tabloid reporter, this child personally admitted to having a deep relationship with Qin Feng, and that his mother's surname is indeed Yang!"

"Next, we will play the evidence from our station! The next recordings will feature Lord Mengchang and Lord Xinling."

Qin Feng continued reading and, sure enough, heard a familiar voice.

Lord Mengchang asked, "Whose child is this?"

Lord Xinling, "of Qin Feng!"

Lord Mengchang exclaimed, "Young Master Qin is truly remarkable! He's young and accomplished!"

Then a chubby-faced little boy appeared at the bottom of the video, playing with Hu Hai.

Qin Feng recognized him—wasn't this his teacher's nephew, Zhang Han? Damn it, what's going on?! How could this be my illegitimate son?!

If this were my illegitimate child, wouldn't that mean I was already messing with girls when I was fourteen or fifteen? You're mistaken, tall girl!

Are entertainment news reporters brainless?

Continuing on, the entertainment reporter solemnly introduced, "Our reporter has interviewed the little boy in the video, and he personally admitted to having a huge relationship with Qin Feng, and that his mother's surname is Yang."

"And who is Qin Feng? He's a disciple of the Strategists, a chivalrous hero of Dragon City, a dragon among men!"

"A woman surnamed Yang who could be a match for Qin Feng must also be extraordinary. Considering Yang Chan, the younger sister of Yang Jian from the Eighteen Heavens Blessed Land, recently ranting and ravaging the world, this reporter suspects that Yang Chan might not have been cursing the Master, but rather the coachman Qin Feng!"

"Later, our reporter followed this line of thought and discovered a clue! Yang Chan from Guanjiang Estuary mysteriously disappears for several months every year, and during those months, no one can find Qin Feng. This pattern of Yang Chan's disappearances has been consistent since she was a child!"

"Meanwhile, young hero Qin Feng has been maintaining an improper relationship with a mysterious girl in Dragon City who claims to be the school beauty!"

"Therefore, our reporter boldly speculates that Yang Chan went to Qin Feng's school during her disappearance, became Qin Feng's classmate, the school beauty of Longcheng, and even had a child with Qin Feng!"

"The two even fought over the custody of the child. Qin Feng wanted to keep the child with him, so Yang Chan, in her anger, uttered abusive words to the teacher, provoking him to try and take the child back!"

"Looking at it now, the battle between the Foundation and Guanjiangkou, ostensibly over the so-called Eight Eccentrics of Meishan, is actually a feud between Qin Feng and Yang Chan, a young couple!"

"This reporter, speaking out of a sense of justice, advises the couple that couples often reconcile after a quarrel, and there's no need to escalate their feud to the point of war. If it really comes down to child custody, why not have another one..."

"Our reporter interviewed some of Qin Feng's former friends to ask for their opinions on this matter. This is the 'Sword Immortal,' who once met Qin Feng on the 'List of Heroes' a few times. The Sword Immortal said that Qin Feng couldn't possibly be that kind of person when it comes to picking up girls! Based on his understanding of Qin Feng, he is a cautious person and would definitely take precautions! This behavior that leaves room for criticism is absolutely a frame-up!"

Qin Feng was greatly pleased to see [Drunken Sword Immortal]'s words. Good brother, Drunken Sword Immortal!

But soon after, [Sword Immortal] added, "Although this illegitimate child can't possibly be Qin Feng's, I think the relationship between Yang Chan and him is real. After all, Yang Chan's beauty is unparalleled, and my brother Qin Feng is a peerless gentleman. It's perfectly normal for them to have some kind of relationship! So my conclusion is that they may have had intimate behavior during their school days, but they definitely won't have a child!"

Upon seeing this, Qin Feng could no longer hold back!

Peng——

The phone was smoking, and the smell of burning filled the air.

From the side, Ao Cheng asked, "Brother Qin, is what the Drunken Sword Immortal said true?"

Qin Feng's eyes flashed with anger. "Get out!"

Ao Cheng slunk away, muttering as he went, "Honestly, is having a bastard child something to be proud of? Our dragon clan has bastards everywhere, and you only have one, hmph..."

Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast. Qin Feng's scandal instantly soared to the top of the trending topics list and spread at an unimaginable speed.

Whether it's someone trying to smear the Master or someone seeking revenge against Qin Feng, the level of attention it's generating is unimaginable.

On the shores of the East Sea lies the Kingdom of Aolai, and the city of Jianye.

The teacher, holding his phone, asked, "Ziming, what do you think about your nephew's illegitimate child?"

The cook muttered to himself, "My nephew couldn't possibly have an illegitimate child! Even if he did, I would sense it! My family's bloodline connection is very strong!"

The master exclaimed, "But what's written here is absolutely true! It even includes the child's birth date, the dates of his dates with Yang Chan, and all the ambiguous flirting he had with that school beauty—it's all true!"

The chef insisted, "It's fake, it must be fake!"

Daqin, home planet, suburbs of Xianyang, sanatorium.

Gai Nie looked at the news hesitantly. "Xiao Zhuang, what do you think of Qin Feng's illegitimate child?"

Wei Zhuang lay on the bed. "Use your eyes to see, what else?"

Gai Nie said, "I'm asking you a question! Can't you answer properly? What do you mean by 'seeing with your eyes'?"

Wei Zhuang lay there like a mummy, "Having a child is great! He can give a red envelope for the New Year! I, Wei Zhuang, don't need that little bit of money. But isn't his wife the daughter of Xi Shi? How come she had a child with Yang Chan first! Would Xi Shi's daughter be willing to be a concubine? With Xi Shi's fiery temper, she'd probably castrate Qin Feng!"

Gai Nie shook his head. "Young people, you should take care of your health. All this messing around gives me a headache! Forget it, let the young people handle their own affairs!"

The Prince of Xianyang's Palace, the warm pavilion.

As Fusu read the gossip, he sighed, "Qin Feng, oh Qin Feng!"

"I'm still thinking about how you're going to deal with Yang Chan!"

"You, on the other hand, struck first, subdued the opponent, and now you have a piece!"

"Damn it, this simple, efficient, and ruthless strategy for repelling the enemy is something I, Fusu, am ashamed to admit I can't match. You always think further ahead and execute more decisively than I ever have! With you around, I'm just a second-rate nobody!"

The far side of the moon, the Foundation.

Lord Xinling roared, "You bastard, who edited my voice out? Step forward, or I'll kill you! That's Qin Feng's nephew!"

Prince Dan was overjoyed. "Why cut it? Our foundation is in the midst of development and needs all sorts of media buzz. This is free media attention, the biggest scandal in the Three Realms—why not take it? Quickly admit it to the public, that it's true, and that the child is Yang Chan and Qin Feng's! Let's generate this buzz first!"

Lord Mengchang asked, "Your Highness Dan, are you sure the guild master won't skin you alive?"

"No way!" Prince Dan declared confidently. "The chairman is a strategist, and strategists are ruthless when it comes to their reputation. They never care about the means, only the goal! The goal is to enrage Yang Chan. With news like this, Yang Chan's blood pressure will skyrocket! Hahaha! Quick, the intelligence department, spread the word and get Yang Chan fired up!"

Shen Buhai said, "That makes sense. As long as it can strike at the enemy, let alone sacrificing the chairman's integrity, even sacrificing the chairman's body is negotiable!"

Lord Chunshen said, "The chairman hasn't reacted yet, which means he probably agrees to what we're doing. Let's get started, let's get started!!"

The Immortal Realm, Zhuolu, Guanjiang Estuary.

A mountain of peach blossoms, a scene of romance and warmth.

A clear, ethereal female voice, now blazing with fury, cried out, "Shameless scoundrel! You've gone too far! Qin Feng, I, Yang Chan, will never forgive you!!"
