TFHS: Chapter 151

Neither of the sisters noticed the expression on Marquis Ningyuan’s face. The moment Lou Minwan heard that her brother-in-law was available, she immediately said, “Then let him go and win over the alchemist. He is a prince. Who can’t he win over?”

The reason why Lou Minwan was so arrogant and domineering was that she borrowed the power of her brother-in-law. In her opinion, the emperor was the greatest and her brother-in-law was second.

Once her brother-in-law won the throne in the future, she would be even more powerful and could even trample on the powerful people in Imperial City at will.

Her goal was ambitious.

Now her goal had been thwarted before it could be achieved. She hated Feng Ming, that handsome ger, in her heart.

The reason her sister was able to marry the eleventh prince wasn’t due to the power of the Ningyuan Marquis’ Mansion. It was due to her sister’s beauty.

They might be sisters, but she had inherited her father’s appearance and was very mediocre compared to her sister.

She wasn’t jealous of her sister’s beauty, but she couldn’t stand other people who were born ordinary with good looks. She was in a bad mood that day, and Feng Ming happened to bump into her. She thought she could vent her anger. In the end, she failed to do so.

Lou Minjun didn’t think that there was anyone that the prince couldn’t win over. The current problem was something else. “Don’t forget. Your brother-in-law is only the eleventh prince, and His Majesty has many other adult princes. Someone took action long before your brother-in-law. He was one step late.”

“Ah…” Lou Minwan was extremely disappointed. Why hadn’t her father-in-law acted faster so he could support her now? “Then what should I do?”

Lou Minjun said, “The only way now is to do as your brother-in-law said and apologize to the young disciple of Master Yu Xiao.”

Lou Minwan exploded when she heard this. “I won’t go. Ask me to apologize to an untouchable? Impossible.”

Even if the ger was Master Yu Xiao’s disciple, he was still an ordinary untouchable. Did he have the qualifications to make a young lady from a marquis’ mansion like her bow and apologize? She was also a prince’s sister-in-law and related to the imperial family.

Marquis Ningyuan stepped forward to force her. “If you don’t go, who will go? If it would be useful for me to go alone, I would’ve gone long ago. This time, for the sake of your brother-in-law, you have to go even if you don’t want to. Otherwise, don’t expect your brother-in-law to do anything for you in the future?”

There was another commotion in the Ningyuan Marquis’ Mansion over whether to apologize or not. If Yu Xiao and Feng Ming knew about what was going on in the mansion, they would sneer.

These people still acted arrogantly, as if the master and disciple would definitely accept their apology as long as they were willing to apologize.

With the title of the eleventh prince as pressure, Lou Minwan had to go whether she wanted to or not. She was personally escorted by her father, Marquis Ningyuan.

Marquis Ningyuan escorted his daughter to apologize to Master Yu Xiao and his disciple, which attracted many curious people to watch.

Since many of them were children of powerful people, Lou Minwan couldn’t get angry and drive them away. She hated Yu Xiao and his disciple even more. If it wasn’t for them, how could she be so embarrassed?

A lot of people followed behind, pointing and talking about the father and daughter in front.

“She bullied someone and then came to apologize in person. Haha, Lou Minwan really hit a wall this time. Interesting, very interesting.”

“On the day this incident happened, even Young Marquis Zong Yuyan stood up for the ger and gave the young lady a beating. Marquis Ningyuan didn’t dare to say a word.”

“The ger is really amazing. He has a master who is a fifth-grade alchemist to protect him, and Young Marquis Zong Yuyan following him closely. Who is he? Has anyone checked it out?”

“I heard from the eyewitnesses at the gate of Imperial City that day that Zong Yuyan claimed the two people were also from Gaoyang County. Maybe that is why Zong Yuyan came out to protect them. After all, the ger is backed by a fifth-grade alchemist. If it was you, wouldn’t you protect him?”

“Of course, I would protect him. Who wouldn’t accept a ready-made favor?”

“What do you think? Marquis Ningyuan made such a big fuss. Will Master Yu Xiao and his disciple let this matter go?”

“It is hard to say. It depends on how important this young disciple is in Master Yu Xiao’s heart.

Many of the onlookers who followed the group even made bets on whether Master Yu Xiao and his disciple would come forward and let Marquis Ningyuan and his daughter go.

The result was half and half. Neither side could convince the other, so the people watched even more enthusiastically.

Many people from the Imperial Academy also came out to watch.

There were also cultivators from outside forces staying in the guest house of the Imperial Academy, and they were also paying attention to this matter.

Even if there was competition with Sihong Academy, they would still stand on the side of Sihong Academy this time. After all, the young lady of the Ningyuan Marquis’ Mansion was bullying the ‘untouchables’ from outside the city.

Were the cultivators from outside really the untouchables who could be trampled on at will by the powerful and wealthy children in Imperial City?

They all felt humiliated.

Marquis Ningyuan came to the outside of the guest house, handed over a visiting card with a sincere attitude, asked to see Master Yu Xiao, and stated that he came to apologize on behalf of his daughter.

At this time, Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo were drinking tea and chatting with his fifth senior brother, Chen Tianlang. Hearing the news, Chen Tianlang sneered. “This has to come, Junior Brother. Why don’t you let me meet them? You don’t have to deal with them.”

Feng Ming answered in a straightforward manner, “I will listen to Fifth Senior Brother.”

Bai Qiaomo added, “Thank you, Fifth Senior Brother.”

Chen Tianlang waved his hands. He was quite satisfied with Bai Qiaomo. When going out, his ‘weak’ alchemist junior brother would have to rely on Bai Qiaomo to protect him.

He said, “I will send them away immediately.”

As for the apology from Marquis Ningyuan and his daughter, did they have to accept it? Dream on.

Chen Tianlang walked out of the guest house with his hands behind his back and a smile on his lips. He appeared in front of everyone, and the father and daughter.

There was a moment of silence when he first appeared. Some people even felt dazed. They had only focused on the affairs of Marquis Ningyuan and Yu Xiao’s youngest disciple, forgetting about such a famous figure.

In fact, even Feng Ming wasn’t very clear about who Chen Tianlang was. He only knew that his fifth senior brother wasn’t of commoner origin, but had some connections with the powerful people of Imperial City.

But what exactly happened? Feng Ming felt that it was his fifth senior brother’s private matter and didn’t go out of his way to ask about gossip. In any case, no matter what, Chen Tianlang was still his fifth senior brother who cared for him.

After a moment of silence, some people started to talk in low voices.

“This guy actually came back to Imperial City. He has been gone for many years.”

“If this guy hadn’t appeared again, I would’ve almost forgotten that he is Master Yu Xiao’s disciple.”

“That’s right. He is Master Yu Xiao’s fifth disciple. I didn’t expect this guy to have a talent in alchemy, and his talent isn’t low. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been accepted by Master Yu Xiao.”

There were also people who didn’t know Chen Tianlang. The moment they heard the discussions in low voices around them, they couldn’t asking curiously. “What is the origin of this guy?”

“Oh, you don’t know this guy? Do you know the former General Chen of the Iron Armor Army?”

The moment General Chen was mentioned, people who didn’t know Chen Tianlang could immediately guess his identity. “Could this man be General Chen’s son?”

“Yes, he is the only child left by General Chen’s ex-wife?”

In the midst of everyone’s discussions, those who weren’t in the know finally figured out Chen Tianlang’s identity.

His mother had died and Chen Tianlang caused chaos in the Chen family and the imperial palace, but the resigned General Chen still felt guilty toward Chen Tianlang.

It was a pity that Chen Tianlang hadn’t come back to visit in all the years since he left Imperial City.

This time, when he returned to Imperial City, he probably didn’t even step through the Chen family’s door.

It turned out that Mother Chen didn’t die from an accident or illness, but was murdered. Who did it?

It was the sister of one of the emperor’s favorite concubines at that time. She plotted against Chen Tianlang’s mother since she had her eyes on the positions of Father Chen and his wife.

After the incident, Chen Tianlang found out the truth and made a big fuss. At that time, Chen Tianlang had a very bad temper. He was completely different from the person in front of them who was smiling.

As a result of the uproar, the favorite concubine’s sister was executed, and even the favorite concubine was neglected. There was little news about her since then.

No one expected that after causing such a mess, Chen Tianlang didn’t stay in Imperial City and the Chen family. He instead ran away and gave up everything.

By the time they received news about him again, they learned that he had become Yu Xiao’s disciple.

He never came back, and the children of the powerful and wealthy in Imperial City almost forgot about this person. Only some of the disciples of Luoyue Peak in Sihong Academy were a bit afraid of Chen Tianlang.

This was a ruthless man who made the emperor give up his favorite concubine. Due to this, Chen Tianlang was able to take Sang Yang, who was being bullied in Luoyue Peak, and make him a junior brother.

His father, General Chen, might’ve resigned from his post in the armored army but everyone was still used to calling him General Chen. he had grown up with the current emperor, so even if he no longer served as a general, not many people in Imperial City looked down on him. The emperor also still remembered the relationship with him.

Marquis Ningyuan naturally recognized Chen Tianlang. He had witnessed the whole incident. However, Lou Minwan was still young at that time and had no idea about such a famous figure.

As Marquis Ningyuan was feeling stunned, Chen Tianlang walked up to them, still with a smile on his face. “Sorry, my master is in the alchemy room, checking if my junior brother has made any progress in alchemy during this period. He doesn’t have time to see you for the time being. You had better go back first.”

Lou Minwan was about to jump up when she heard this. When had she ever been so despised?

However, the next moment, Marquis Ningyuan reacted and immediately covered his mouth, fearing that she would say something that would displease Chen Tianlang.

As a father, he knew best what type of personality his daughter had.

“It turns out to be Young Master Chen. Since Master Yu Xiao and Alchemist Feng don’t have time at this moment, we will wait a bit longer.”

Chen Tianlang still had a beautiful smile on his face, with the demeanor of a gentle nobleman. He nodded and said, “Then it is up to you. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality.”

After that, he glanced at the crowd of onlookers. He flicked his sleeves, turned around and went back, leaving everyone outside.

Lou Minwan was finally able to speak. She jumped to her feet angrily. “Dad, why didn’t you let me speak? Who was that?”

“Shut up!” Marquis Ningyuan said. “I’ll tell you when we go back. Let’s go home.”

What was said about not having time was actually an excuse for not seeing them. Marquis Ningyuan knew it well. He had to go back to the mansion first to think of a solution.

On the way back, Marquis Ningyuan told his daughter about Chen Tianlang’s deeds. Lou Minwan was shocked. Even the emperor gave in due to him? What was this man capable of doing?

In fact, Chen Tianlang wanted to say that he really didn’t have that much ability. It was just that the favored concubine was overreaching. She wanted to pull the Chen family to their side before the prince was born, and even killed his mother for this.

Why should he cover up the shame of such a woman? He might as well just tear off the veil completely. How could the emperor tolerate the woman by his pillow plotting against his general like this? So he abandoned her without hesitation.

It was that simple.
