My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 559: Mysterious Anya

After Qin Feng learned about the marriage proposal from Qing’er, he hurried to the lobby and happened to see Anya walking towards a secluded corner with the Minister of Rites.

“Why are you here?” Qin Feng asked in surprise.

Anya smiled ambiguously, “Brother Qin, what you said is too unreasonable.”

“You’ve already entered the fourth realm of the Literature Saint Dao Lineage, the realm of the free and unrestrained. As your friend, I naturally came to congratulate you.” 

“You can’t be like this. Just because you have two beautiful women at home, you forgot about me, your friend. In recent days, you haven’t actively sought me out for a meeting.”

“Why do I feel that you’re trying to blame me?” Qin Feng looked at the middle-aged man beside Anya and pondered over his words. After all, he couldn’t be sure if this person knew Anya’s true identity.

Meanwhile, the Minister of Rites lowered his head, watching with his eyes, focusing on his nose and pondering in his heart.

If he had seen Qin Feng before, he would have been very attentive and introduced his own daughter. However, the current situation made him feel extremely uncomfortable, as if he had a thorn in his side and a fishbone stuck in his throat.

He wanted to escape from this place, but he was afraid of offending Princess Anya, which would make him feel even more miserable.

Moreover, after their conversation just now, he was even more convinced that there must be some unknown secrets between Princess Anya and Qin Feng.

For the tone that Princess Anya had just used was very similar to the one his wife had used when he had gone to sleep in the concubine’s room at night.

‘Wait, will I get into big trouble if I stay here and listen to these words?’ Master Zhang’s heart immediately leapt to his throat, and his legs began to tremble.

After some thought, Qin Feng truthfully replied, “As you know, after the establishment of the Peaceful Academy, there were too many things I had to do. Even the businesses in the Imperial City have been completely entrusted to others, and I simply do not have any free time.”

Anya picked up the folding fan in her hand and tapped her own head, “Look at my memory, I’m a bit ignorant, Brother Qin.”

“I almost forgot, the current you is already very different from before, where is the time to worry about us old friends?”

Qin Feng’s face stiffened, “Can you speak properly?”

“What do you mean, Brother Qin? I always speak like this on normal days. Maybe it’s because we haven’t seen each other for too long, so you’ve forgotten how I speak.” Anya still had a faint smile on her face.

Enough of this sarcasm, Qin Feng’s mouth twitched, “I won’t disturb you anymore. If you have time later, stay for lunch. I have something to do, so I’ll go to the hall first.”

As he walked past Master Zhang, Qin Feng stopped and asked worriedly, “Sir, you’re shaking so badly, could it be that you’ve caught a cold? I happen to be a physician and can take a look for you.”

“No, that’s not necessary. I’ve already made some herbal soup at home, I’ll go back and take it, and then I’ll sleep well. This time I came to congratulate Master Qin on successfully overcoming the disaster and entering the Fourth Realm.” Master Zhang wiped the cold sweat from his brow and replied with a dry smile.

“You’re too kind, sir.” Qin Feng bowed respectfully, said goodbye and left.

As soon as his figure was completely out of sight, Master Zhang knelt down with a thud and said, “I pay my respects to Princess Anya.”

At that moment, Princess Anya also came to her senses. Thinking about the different tone she had used just now, her face couldn’t help but blush slightly. She controlled her emotions and said calmly, “What did you see just now?”

Mr Zhang hastily shook his head, “This subordinate has indeed caught a cold. Just now, the cold wind made it worse. My head was dizzy and I couldn’t remember anything. Cough, cough.”

At that moment, he wished he could cough up some blood to make it even more convincing.

“Alright, let me ask you, why were there so many officials here today to offer gifts? Could it be that they all want to curry favour with the Qin family?”

“Well…” Master Zhang was speechless for a moment, unsure if he should tell the truth.

On the other side, Qin Feng arrived at the hall and felt that the atmosphere was somewhat subtle.

Everyone was silent, looking in the direction outside the hall as if waiting for something.

Second Mother spoke up, “Feng’er, why have you come?”

Qin Feng replied, “Second Mother, I know the purpose of these officials coming to the Qin Mansion. I have come here to express my own thoughts.”

He looked around and folded his hands respectfully, “Esteemed officials, I thank you for your consideration towards me. However, I already have two wives, and I truly have no intention of taking concubines.”

Upon hearing this, Lan Ningshuang finally felt a stone lift from her heart.

The officials in the hall looked at each other. With Master Zhang, their leader, and the mysterious young man gone, and the matter of finding a match seemingly at an impasse, some of them sighed and stood up first, clenching their fists. 

“We congratulate Young Master Qin on his progress in cultivation. We will take our leave.”

One person took the lead, and the others followed suit, relentlessly pushing forward according to their status, which only made them a laughing stock.

But at that moment, Qin Feng spoke again, “Please, everyone, hold on.”

Lan Ningshuang’s heart tightened.

Father Qin and Second Mother, who were sitting across from him, also looked puzzled.

“Young master Qin, what else do you have to say?”

Qin Feng smiled faintly, “Although I have no connection with the respected families here, my younger brother is still on his own.”

“He is outstanding in appearance, astounding in martial arts talent, and is even under the tutelage of the Southern Domain’s legendary warrior, Mad Blade Zhen Tianyi. His future is limitless.”

“I wonder if the esteemed families have any considerations in this regard?”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and then became ecstatic.

Of course, they had heard about the second young master of the Qin family. He had already left the Qin family and gone off with Zhen Tianyi on adventures in the Southern Domain.

And someone who was favoured by Zhen Tianyi couldn’t be ordinary, right?

Add to that the fact that he had an elder brother like Qin Feng.

“To be honest, Young master Qin, my youngest daughter is incomparably beautiful, talented in singing and dancing, a perfect match for the second young master of your esteemed family!”

“My youngest daughter’s martial arts talent is exceptional, and she has already joined the Sword Alliance. In time, she will surely make a name for herself! A man and a woman, a sword and a saber, aren’t they a perfect match?”

The crowd seemed to have been injected with chicken blood as they eagerly introduced their daughters.

Father Qin was stunned, and the Second Mother didn’t react immediately.

It wasn’t until Qin Feng spoke up to remind her, “Second Mother, you’ve always wanted to arrange a marriage for Second Brother. Isn’t this the perfect opportunity?”

“Yes, Feng’er is right!” Second Mother exclaimed urgently. “Qing’er, quickly get me a pen and paper!”

Qin Feng looked at the lively atmosphere in the hall and couldn’t help but feel that he was doing a commendable job as the eldest brother.

‘Second Brother probably couldn’t even dream that when he returned from his journey, his big brother would have already found him a wife.’

‘But I remember that his relationship with Bai Qiu seems to be quite delicate?’

‘Oh well, the Southern Domain is so vast, how could they possibly meet again? Maybe they are just passers-by in life.”

Since the guests had not yet left, Qing’er was busy again while Lan Ningshuang went to the kitchen to heat up some tea.

On her way back, she happened to hear Minister Zhang’s slightly trembling voice from behind the trees – “Princess Anya, this is what happened.”

Princess Anya?

Lan Ningshuang was surprised, she cautiously poked her head out only to see the elegant young man in white saying lightly, “You are imperial officials, how can you spend your days thinking about such things all day long?”

“As for today’s matter, I can pretend not to know, but in the future-“

“Princess, rest assured, there will be no future!” Minister Zhang said firmly.

When Lan Ningshuang saw this scene, she hurriedly took her head back with a look of disbelief.

How could she have imagined that the acquaintance she knew, the elegant young man Ya’an, was not only disguised as a man, but also a princess of the current dynasty!

“Wait a minute. With such a distinguished status, why does she often accompany the young master? Could it be?”
