Martial Master

"I heard he currently lives in the West City, which is a place for commoners, extremely dirty and filthy. However, given his status, it is very fitting for him to live there."

After being escorted by the palace's envoy to the palace, Qin Feng spoke again, mocking Qin Chen to the fullest.

Everyone was shocked and felt a sense of astonishment.

Such strong hostility was evident even to an idiot. The Qin family, a large family, renowned throughout the Da Qi Kingdom, never expected that their troubles would arise from within.

Fratricidal conflict left everyone in shock.

Some also doubted in their hearts; Qin Feng had long been stationed outside, fighting alongside the old man Qin Batian. Could it be that what he said also represented the old man's opinion?

If that were true, wouldn't it mean that the old man Qin Batian also had grievances against his illegitimate grandson Qin Chen?

"Once I return from meeting His Majesty, I will personally meet my brother Chen. After years of not seeing him, where does he get the courage to act this way, even daring to injure his own second brother? Does he want to be ousted from the family?!"

Qin Feng was proud, speaking repeatedly to express his attitude.

Everyone was shaken, knowing that the royal court was about to face a storm.

"Hehe, that kid Qin Chen is in trouble. He has disabled Qin Fen, and as Qin Fen's elder brother, how could Qin Feng just stand by?"

In his early years, Qin Feng was known as the number one genius of the royal court, breaking through to Earth Level at the age of fourteen, unparalleled in the world. If he were to make a move, aside from a few prodigies like the Fourth Prince, no one among his peers could rival him. No matter how strong Qin Chen was, he wouldn’t be a match for Qin Feng in just a few exchanges.

"There is too big a gap; they are not even on the same level."

Wei Zhen and others sneered, looking forward to Qin Chen being taught a lesson by Qin Feng.

"He's just a few years older; what's so impressive about that?"

"Young Master Chen wouldn't be afraid of him."

Lin Tian and Zhang Ying were indignant and very angry.

But their anger was soon drowned out.

As the foreign troops returned to the royal capital, they first had to report to the Ministry of War. Qin Feng's status was special, and he was summoned by His Majesty Zhao Gao.

In the great hall, Qin Feng stopped boasting and instead had a respectful attitude, reporting on the border affairs of these years.

Zhao Gao was in good spirits, laughing, "Qin Feng, over the years you've been outside, you have made great contributions to our Da Qi Kingdom. Recently, you even defeated over ten thousand cavalry from the Great Wei, forcing the Wei troops to retreat over three hundred miles into the Yin Mountains. Speak, what reward do you want?"

Qin Feng knelt on one knee, his head lowered, "Your Majesty, shedding blood and sacrificing lives for our Da Qi Kingdom is what any citizen should do. I merely did what an ordinary citizen of Da Qi should do; why should there be a reward?"

"Haha." Zhao Gao was very pleased, laughing, "Qin Feng, although you say so, I am clear about rewards and punishments. You have achieved great military accomplishments at the border. If I do not reward you, how will I gain the people's trust?"

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Gao suddenly asked, "Qin Feng, do you know the purpose of summoning you back from the border this time?"

Qin Feng replied, "Could it be because of the Five Kingdoms Competition?"

Zhao Gao said, "Indeed, it is because of the Five Kingdoms Competition. In recent years, the Great Wei has been eyeing us covetously, frequently sending troops against our Da Qi Kingdom, their ambitions are evident. This Five Kingdoms Competition is an opportunity to teach them a lesson. I have heard that you have been diligently honing your skills at the border, aiming for victory. This time I summoned you back to undergo the Blood Spirit Pool baptism, and then participate in the Five Kingdoms Competition to bring glory to our Da Qi Kingdom. Are you confident?"
