Martial Master

Zhao Jing and Zhao Qirui, both being members of the royal family, naturally had some connections. However, their realms were vastly different. For someone like Zhao Qirui, who spent his days indulging in debauchery and tarnishing the royal family's reputation, Zhao Jing always held deep disdain.

"Hehe, Royal Brother, the grand examination of Tianxing Academy is quite a significant event for our Great Qi Kingdom. I've come to observe and gain some insight," Zhao Qirui replied, unconcerned with King Kang's disdain. His gaze landed on Liang Yu, and he smiled, "This must be Master Liang Yu of the Instrument Hall? I heard that Master Liang and the Dingwu Prince's Residence had some misunderstandings before? Beside me is Madam Zhao Feng of Anping Marquis. Master Liang and Anping Marquis are both elites of our Great Qi Kingdom. Any misunderstandings should be cleared up to avoid hurting our harmony."

"Master Liang Yu, I didn't expect to meet you here, truly unexpected," Zhao Feng quickly seized the opportunity, stepping forward to say, "Previously, my Qin family had some misunderstandings with you, but those were the mistakes of the younger family members. If there was any offense, I hope Master Liang Yu can forgive it. My son Qin Fen has been disciplined."

"Madam Zhao, you're joking. Your Qin family's matters have nothing to do with me, Liang. There's no need to explain."

"Zhao Feng always harbored ill intentions towards Qin Chen and his mother, trying to climb onto Qin Chen. How could she be close to him?" Liang Yu sneered inwardly.

Seeing Liang Yu unmoved, Zhao Feng continued, "To express our Qin family's apology, I have expelled Qin Chen and his mother Qin Yuechi from the Qin family. They are no longer part of our family."

"This way, I can sincerely express my apology to Liang Yu and also make it known throughout the capital, so that even if the old master returns, considering the Qin family's reputation, he will have to concede." Zhao Feng calculated, a slight smile tugging at her lips.

King Kang's eyes lit up hearing Qin Chen's name and he suddenly stared over with interest.

"What?"

Liang Yu's expression changed dramatically upon hearing this, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. "Are you saying Qin Chen was expelled because of a conflict with me?"

"Exactly." Zhao Feng's eyes brightened, thinking she had gained Liang Yu's approval, and she boasted, "That waste Qin Chen dared to offend you, Master Liang Yu. Our Qin family merely expelled him, which is a great mercy. I say he should have been crippled and made to kneel at the entrance of the Instrument Hall for ten days and nights to ease your grievances."

Zhao Feng spoke passionately, but Liang Yu was sweating coldly inside.

"If true, Qin Chen must hate me to death. The Qin family is trying to get me killed," Liang Yu thought angrily!

Liang Yu felt a chill run down his spine and cold sweat drench his back.

"Master Liang, are you alright?" Zhao Jing noticed something amiss with Liang Yu and couldn't help but ask.

"I'm fine." Liang Yu snapped back to reality, his heart sinking. At this point, he could only find a way to make amends.

Liang Yu shot a resentful glance at the still chattering Zhao Feng, wishing he could tear her apart, and coldly snorted, "I don't want to hear about your Qin family matters. Madam Zhao, please leave!"

Liang Yu waved his hand, his tone already unfriendly.

Zhao Feng's smile stiffened, not knowing what had happened, but she quickly recovered and said, "Master Liang, I sincerely wish to reconcile with you. If you have any dissatisfaction with my Qin family, feel free to speak up, and I will do my utmost to address it."

"Heh." Liang Yu sneered, face full of mockery. "Madam Zhao, you're joking. I wouldn't dare associate with your Qin family. I have matters to discuss with King Kang, so please leave."

Liang Yu turned, his face dark, ignoring Zhao Feng completely.

Zhao Feng's expression turned extremely ugly, unsure whether to stay or leave.

At this moment, King Qi Zhao Qirui spoke up with a smile, "Master Liang..."
