If we were ordinary people, Ji Tianxing and I would not be good friends, and we would not be able to confide in each other.
At most, it is just a few perfunctory sentences without telling the real reason.
Of course, it was impossible for ordinary people to meet him, so he asked Ji Tianxing to stay at Qiulan Villa.
It’s too expensive!
Qi Huanzhi put down his wine glass, stared at Ji Tianxing, and asked: "Brother Tianxing, do you really want to know the reason?"
Ji Tianxing kept smiling and nodded.
Qi Huanzhi hesitated for a moment, then turned away the two maids.
He and Ji Tianxing were the only ones left in the living room, so he lowered his voice and said, "Brother Tianxing, let me ask you a question first.
If your parents love you very much but have to force you to do something impossible, what should you do?"
Ji Tianxing said without hesitation: "As long as you dare to think and do, nothing is impossible in the world."
"Uh..." Qi Huanzhi was stunned for a moment, then extended his thumb and said: "Brother Tianxing, you are indeed an interesting and special person.
However, I really can’t do this!
You know Yu Wenjie, right? The eldest son of Lord Qingshan, our young Lord!
He was born more than ninety years after me, but he reached half-step to the level of a god eighty years ago!
My father must force me to defeat him, otherwise I will have to marry the Ning family in Tianxue City and marry that Bingshan Ning Siyuan..."
"Bringing in a child? Marrying Bingshan?" Ji Tianxing was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing.
Qi Huanzhi said with a depressed smile: "Isn't it funny? Everyone in Qingshan City thinks it's funny, it's so ridiculous!
Such an outrageous thing, but my parents agreed!
As early as when I was ten years old, my father made a marriage contract with the Ning family.
That iceberg is in my house. My parents regard her as their darling, but they treat me with cold eyes.
I have a home now and can’t go back!”
After Qi Huanzhi finished speaking, he poured three glasses of wine in succession and drank them all in one go.
Perhaps he felt that the wine glass was too small and unsatisfactory, so he picked up the wine bottle and poured it into his mouth.
Ji Tianxing stretched out his hand to hold down the wine bottle, suppressed his smile, and asked seriously: "Mr. Qi, getting drunk can solve a thousand worries, but it cannot solve your engagement with Miss Ning.
Let me ask you, Miss Ning’s family is also in the pet business?”
When he asked this question, he thought of the caravan he met when entering the city gate.
The three-eyed clan woman wearing silver armor should be Ning Siyuan.
Qi Huanzhi was startled for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes! It seems that you have not been idle these past two days. Have you gone out to inquire about news?"
Ji Tianxing did not answer, and then asked: "Is Miss Ning's family more powerful than your Qi family?"
"Of course!" Qi Huanzhi nodded quickly and explained: "My family is the richest family in Qingshan City, and the Ning family is the most wealthy family in Tianxue City.
Qingshan City is a small town in a remote area, but Tianxue City is a county town and one of the ten most prosperous main cities in the Kingdom of Blood Flame.
For example, the Ning family is a magnificent palace, while our home is a shabby thatched hut!
It's too late for my father to curry favor with the Ning family, so how can he dare to break off the engagement?
Besides, Ning Siyuan is like an iceberg, beautiful, ruthless and powerful, how could I dare to offend her?"
Ji Tianxing continued to ask: "Is it because your father forced you to defeat Yu Wenjie because of the Xuanguang Cave?"
Qi Huanzhi nodded and said: "Well, this matter is not a secret, you can find out about it from just anyone.
In two days, the martial arts tournament will be held.
Not to mention that I can't beat Yu Wenjie, the young masters from the other four families will also be beaten to pieces by Yu Wenjie.
However, Yu Wenjie is very arrogant. Every time he wins a battle, he will humiliate us and make a few cruel moves, making all the girls in the city scream..."
Ji Tianxing could tell that Qi Huanzhi was very prejudiced against Yu Wenjie.
He thought for a moment and asked: "Since Miss Ning has a marriage contract with you, she will be your fiancée.
Now that she has come to Qingshan City, can she represent your family in the martial arts tournament?
I heard that she is also a half-step god and should be able to rival Yu Wenjie."
Qi Huanzhi stared at Ji Tianxing and said with a wry smile: "Brother, why are you like my father?"
"???" Ji Tianxing couldn't laugh or cry.
"Ah, what I meant was..." Qi Huanzhi realized what he said and quickly changed his words: "Why do you think the same as my parents?"
"No?" Ji Tianxing asked.
"Of course not!" Qi Huanzhi put down his wine glass and explained: "Although I have a marriage contract with Ning Siyuan, I am a bride-in-law and will be ridiculed by everyone in the world!
Moreover, I don't like her, and she looks down on me, so how can she help me?
Besides, the city lord's palace and several major aristocratic families all know that she is the daughter of the Ning family and will not enter the door of my Qi family.
Even if she wants to join the war, the city lord's palace and several major families won't agree."
"I see." Ji Tianxing finally understood the situation and muttered: "I thought she came to Qingshan City at this time to help your Qi family."
Qi Huanzhi waved his hands repeatedly: "I think too much, I think too much."
Ji Tianxing asked again: "Is Xuanguang Cave really important?"
"Of course." Qi Huanzhi spoke firmly and explained: "Let me tell you this, our Qi family's pet beast business can probably earn hundreds of millions of sacred stones a year.
But one year of mining in Xuanguang Cave is worth twenty years of my family's business!"
"No wonder several big families are jealous." Ji Tianxing nodded to express his understanding.
Qi Huanzhi smiled bitterly and said: "It's no use just being jealous, that guy Yu Wenjie is so strong and perverted!"
Ji Tianxing asked again: "Every aristocratic family can send two people to participate in the war. Your Qi family is so rich, but there are no other masters?"
"Don't mention it!" Qi Huanzhi shook his head repeatedly and said: "My talent is already the highest in the Qi family, but I still managed to push it to the ninth level."
Ji Tianxing frowned and asked doubtfully: "Can we only send family members to participate, but not retainers and worshipers?"
Qi Huanzhi was startled for a moment, then nodded and said: "That's okay!
However, those who participate in the war must meet two conditions: below a thousand years old and below the level of a divine king.
Anyone who meets these two conditions and can defeat Yu Wenjie is definitely a genius. How could he come to a small place like Qingshan City?"
After a moment of silence, Qi Huanzhi suddenly thought of something and stared at Ji Tianxing with bright eyes.
"Brother Tianxing, if you asked so clearly, could it be that you...want to help me solve my problems?"
Ji Tianxing thought to himself: "We have been chatting for so long, and you just reacted. Isn't your reaction too slow?"
He thought so in his heart, but he wouldn't say it.
He bowed his hands and said with a smile: "Master Qi and I hit it off as old friends at first sight, and he took great care of me.
If I can help you with this, I'll be happy to do so."
Qi Huanzhi's eyes became brighter and he asked expectantly: "Brother Tianxing, do you meet the conditions to participate in the war?"
"certainly."
"Then are you sure you can defeat Yu Wenjie?" Qi Huanzhi looked forward to it even more.
Ji Tianxing smiled slightly, nodded and said: "It's as easy as flipping a finger!" (To be continued)
