Martial Master

The process of the audience was quick, and soon, Qin Feng left the royal palace, setting off back to the Qin family.

What happened in the court spread like a gust of wind, instantly enveloping the entire royal capital, causing an uproar.

Especially Zhao Gao's promise to Qin Feng about the Champion Marquis title triggered a huge shock.

A young man being granted a marquis title, how glorious is that? It left no room for people not to be astonished.

Moreover, Qin Feng's impeachment of Qin Chen, wanting Zhao Gao to revoke Qin Chen's qualification for the Blood Spirit Pool baptism, also sparked various discussions.

"Who does Qin Feng think he is, daring to impeach Young Master Chen?"

"Hmph, still thinking of becoming the Champion Marquis? He should take a look at his own virtues; does he even deserve that?"

Lin Tian and Zhang Ying were furious, cursing continuously, wishing they could rush over.

Meanwhile, those who had been waiting to see the Qin family’s jokes, like Li Qingfeng and Wei Zhen, were also dumbfounded, filled with rage.

If Qin Feng truly received the title of Champion Marquis, the entire political landscape of the Da Qi Kingdom would likely change because of it.

At that time, with both Qin Feng and Qin Yuanhong holding marquis titles, they would certainly stir up tremendous waves in the court.

In the blink of an eye, the entire royal capital was abuzz with this matter, causing a ruckus!

Some sneered, some mocked, and some worried.

In the residence of King Kang.

Zhao Jing put down his wolf hair brush, looking worriedly in the direction of the royal palace, and sighed, "Brother Wang, why must you do this?"

In the residence of King Dingwu.

Everywhere was decorated with lanterns, bustling with activity.

When Qin Feng's convoy arrived outside the Qin residence, the entire household staff cheered loudly, filled with joy.

"Look, it's Young Master Feng!"

"Young Master Feng is the eldest son of our Qin family, and will inherit the position of family head sooner or later."

"Have you heard? His Majesty promised Young Master Feng that if he secures first place for Da Qi in the Five Nations Competition, he will be granted the title of Champion Marquis. This is truly a Champion Marquis!"

"If that happens, Young Master Feng's prestige in the court might even surpass the old master."

"Hush, you must not speak such words."

A group of household staff excitedly gazed at Qin Feng, who was seated atop a tall, green steed, each person brimming with excitement.

The maidservants, even more so, had sparkling eyes, their faces flushed.

"Feng'er, have you seen Father and Mother?"

Dismounting, Qin Feng knelt on one knee before Qin Yuanhong and Zhao Feng, respectfully saluting.

"Feng'er, quickly get up, you’ve finally returned!"

Zhao Feng hurriedly helped Qin Feng up, her phoenix eyes sparkling with excitement, overflowing with joy.

After waiting for so long, she finally awaited Qin Feng's return, and the heart she had been holding for days finally settled.

The returning prodigal son's first task was to pay respects to the ancestors in the ancestral hall, followed by visiting the family elders in the main hall.

The elders had long heard the rumors and were all grinning from ear to ear. Before Qin Feng could perform his greetings, they swiftly stood up to support him.

"Of course! If after the Five Nations Competition, Qin Feng truly receives the title of Champion Marquis, then we will all rely on his prestige in the future."

"Now, how could we dare to be too arrogant?"

Facing the elders' attitudes, Qin Feng made no comments and naturally accepted their support.

Then, he approached Qin Yuanzhi, cupping his hands lightly, "Qin Feng, pays respect to Second Uncle."

Qin Ying, standing nearby, saw Qin Feng show little respect to his father and felt discontent, muttering, "This guy hasn’t even become the Champion Marquis yet, what’s there to be so proud of?"

"Feng'er, no need for excessive courtesies."

Qin Yuanzhi didn’t care much for such formalities.

Taking the opportunity, Qin Feng withdrew his salute and glanced at Qin Ying, suddenly saying, "I heard that Ying Mei has grown close to Qin Chen. Qin Chen has harmed my Second Brother and betrayed the Qin family; he is a sinner of the Qin family. I hope Ying Mei will have less contact with him in the future, so as not to tarnish our Qin family’s reputation."
