Martial Master

Zhao Lingshan, as one of the four great beauties of the Da Qi Kingdom, was extremely popular in the royal capital. Coupled with her noble status, men pursuing her could line up from the East City Gate to the West City Gate. However, no one had ever heard of any association between Zhao Lingshan and any man.

Now, seeing a man step down from Zhao Lingshan's carriage left everyone utterly shocked.

If this were to get out, it would definitely cause a huge uproar among the younger generation in the royal capital.

"Who are you? Why are you in Lingshan's carriage? Speak the truth!"

Snapping back to reality, Princess Zixun's expression turned furious, and a terrifying murderous aura surged forth, targeting the man descending from the carriage.

At this moment, the man's face simultaneously appeared before everyone's eyes.

"How could it be him?"

Li Qingfeng's expression instantly petrified, like a wooden chicken, his eyes nearly popping out.

Qin Feng was also left dumbfounded, mouth agape, as if he had seen a ghost.

Years had passed since they last met, and Qin Chen's temperament had changed dramatically compared to four or five years ago, yet Qin Feng recognized Qin Chen at first glance.

"Has it arrived? Is this the royal palace? I haven't had enough sleep yet."

Stepping down from the carriage, Qin Chen groggily surveyed his surroundings, yawned, and said.

Thud!

Li Qingfeng stumbled and nearly fell to the ground.

He was a scion of a noble family and immediately recognized that Zhao Lingshan's carriage was actually a horse bed. Combined with what Qin Chen had said earlier, a scene of Qin Chen and Zhao Lingshan lying together on this horse bed surfaced in his mind, nearly making him spit blood.

In the hearts of the young generation in the royal capital, Zhao Lingshan was like a goddess. If many of the youths in the royal capital found out that their goddess had actually lain on a horse bed with Qin Chen, they would probably go insane.

"You scoundrel! How dare you do something so filthy to my sister Lingshan? You seek death!"

Hearing Qin Chen's words, Princess Zixun's hair stood on end in anger, and she turned into a streak of lightning, pouncing towards Qin Chen.

She was determined to capture him first, regardless of who he was, and teach him a harsh lesson.

"Zixun sister, stop! It's not what you think. His name is Qin Chen, the champion of the year-end examination at Tianxing Academy, just like me, he's here for the blood spirit pool baptism at the royal palace. You've misunderstood him."

Zhao Lingshan, lagging slightly, was so frightened by the scene that her complexion turned pale, rushing to stand in front of Qin Chen.

"What? He is Qin Chen?"

Princess Zixun froze for a moment, then her anger deepened. "Lingshan, don't be fooled by this guy. Just because he is a champion doesn't mean he is anything special. There isn't a good man among them."

Seeing Lingshan still defending Qin Chen, Princess Zixun became even more furious.

She understood Zhao Lingshan too well; although she appeared cold on the surface, she had a warm heart and was very innocent. This Qin Chen must have used some flowery words to deceive Zhao Lingshan.

"Get out of the way! Let me teach him a lesson."

"Zixun sister, you are misunderstanding. Qin Chen and I met halfway; we were tired, so we shared a carriage. It’s not what you think."

Zhao Lingshan's face turned crimson, feeling the fiery gazes of everyone, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to hide.

"Just meeting halfway and you got in his carriage? You weren't taken advantage of, were you? Qin Chen, if you have the guts, stop hiding behind a woman and step out."

Princess Zixun scanned Zhao Lingshan up and down, seemingly trying to see if she had been violated.

"Zixun sister..." Zhao Lingshan's face was as red as a ripe apple, stomping her foot in anger.

"Princess Lingshan, who is this crazy woman? It's simply outrageous."

Qin Chen frowned. Stepping off the carriage, he was already being scolded by this woman, and even if he had a good temper, he was about to explode.
