My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 560: Senior Xuan's Fragmented Memory

Lan Ningshuang returned to the main hall, brewed some tea, looked at the young master and hesitated to speak.

Does the young master know the true identity of the Master Ya’an?

She wanted to ask, but felt it would be inappropriate given the seriousness of the matter.

After much thought, Lan Ningshuang decided to wait until the young lady returned before explaining the matter to her.

“What’s wrong, Ningshuang?” Qin Feng sensed her gaze and asked curiously.

“It’s nothing, young master, please have some tea.”

Soon, Minister Zhang and Princess Anya returned.

As he listened to the officials introduce their precious daughters, Minister Zhang glanced at the smiling Anya beside him and felt his heart skip a beat.

Are these people seeking death with their actions?

Minister Zhang immediately scolded, “I came here with all of you to congratulate Young master Qin on entering the Fourth Realm. But do you see what you’re doing?” 

“As imperial officials, how can you spend your days thinking about such trivial matters as climbing the social ladder? Besides, Young master Qin already has wives and concubines. How can you shamelessly think of sending your daughters to the Qin family?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent.

Many officials wore strange expressions. Wasn’t it you who took the lead in seeking marriage alliances?

Of course, these seasoned bureaucrats were not to be underestimated. However, with a little thought, it becomes clear that the drastic changes in Mr Zhang’s demeanour must be related to the young man in white robes beside him!

What’s going on here? Qin Feng glanced back and forth between Anya and Mr Zhang and explained, “This esteemed gentleman has misunderstood. I have already made my attitude clear and have no intention of marrying again. I was merely seeking a marriage for my younger brother.”

“Younger brother?” 

Mr Zhang was slightly taken aback. Of course, he was aware of the exceptional talents of the Qin family.

Their second son was trained by the renowned Divine Martial Warrior, with outstanding talent and limitless potential!

‘Why didn’t I think of this? Marrying my daughter to the second young master of the Qin family could also improve our status with the Qin family.’

Mr Zhang regretted his previous actions!

Glancing discreetly to the side, Anya had found an empty seat and was gently blowing on her teacup.

To rise to the position of Minister required an extraordinary ability to observe and understand the words and expressions of others.

Mr Zhang could tell at a glance that Princess Anya seemed genuinely relaxed and serene at the moment.

‘It seems that as long as the suitor is not Master Qin, the princess doesn’t mind too much?’

This reinforced a certain speculation in his mind.

Mr Zhang glanced at the officials in the hall, then turned to the seated Lord Qin and Lady Qin and cleared his throat.

Just as others thought that the Minister of Rites was about to rebuke them, they heard him say, “To be honest with the Qin family master, my daughter has been proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and she has a dignified appearance and is well-educated.”

“Don’t you think this combination of civil and martial virtues is a match made in heaven?”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned.

The sudden change of attitude was a bit too fast. With such shamelessness, it’s no wonder he was able to rise to the position of Minister of Rites.

Inside the hall, after chatting for a long time, and seeing that it was almost noon, everyone in the hall said goodbye one by one.

On his way out, Mr Zhang deliberately looked at Princess Anya, who was quietly drinking tea. Seeing that she didn’t move, he didn’t dare to look any further and hurriedly left.

After leaving the Qin residence and walking for a while, on his way back to the Ministry of Rites, Mr Zhang suddenly said, “Do you still hold a grudge against me for slapping you earlier?”

The Ministry of Rites official hastily shook his head, “It must have been because I spoke out of turn, so Mr Zhang had to wake me up.”

“Hmm, the identity of this person is extraordinary. Remember his appearance. When you meet him in the future, the more respectful you are, the better. I see you have good insight, and I still want to nurture you. I don’t want your official career to end here.”

Hearing this, the man’s heart trembled. How could he, an official of the Ministry of Rites, lose his position so easily? Unless the young man in the white robe had an extraordinary background, perhaps even a member of the royal family!

“Thanks for the warning, Mr Zhang!”

In front of Father Qin and Second Mother, Anya was very reserved, and her demeanour was that of a royal princess.

However, when Anya returned to normal, Lan Ningshuang became somewhat strange.

She deliberately blocked any conversation between Qin Feng and Anya, every time Anya wanted to talk to Qin Feng, she would deliberately interrupt, either by serving food or asking if he wanted more rice.

It wasn’t until the end of the meal, after Anya had said goodbye and left, that Lan Ningshuang breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her guard.

“Ningshuang, what’s wrong with you today? Why do I get the feeling that you’re being cautious with Ya’an?” Qin Feng asked curiously outside the hall.

Lan Ningshuang stared at Qin Feng, sizing him up as if trying to see through his heart, making Qin Feng feel quite uncomfortable.

After a moment, Lan Ningshuang finally spoke, “I was just worried that the young master Ya’an might not be used to the food at the Qin residence, so I asked a few more questions. Why would the young master think otherwise?”

“Is that so? Maybe it’s just my imagination.”

“Surely it’s the young master thinking too much. Ningshuang still has some business to attend to, so I’ll take my leave.”

As he watched the figure leave, Qin Feng still had some doubts in his heart, but he didn’t dwell on them too much.

Now that he had entered the fourth rank of the Free and Unrestrained Realm, his top priority was to consolidate his cultivation and find a way to reach the third rank.

Back in his room, Qin Feng sat cross-legged on the bed and activated his divine consciousness to enter the Divine Sea.

After yesterday’s Baptism of Thunder, his Thunder Righteous Qi had become even more profound.

The Primordial Immortal Qi on the Heart Questioning Platform had already been fully absorbed, but there was still an abundance of golden Ancient Divine Breath left, which had not been fully transferred to his two wives.

He had thought that without the wrapping of the Primordial Immortal Qi, these Ancient Divine Breaths would dissipate.

However, after entering the Fourth Rank Realm, the Heart Questioning Platform changed and emitted a colourful halo, unexpectedly able to preserve the Ancient Divine Breath.

This relieved Qin Feng’s mind, as these things were quite precious and held great significance for his two wives and the Golden Winged Great Peng. Of course, he didn’t want to lose them for nothing.

Looking at Senior Xuan Yi’s orb of light on the Heart Questioning Platform, Qin Feng suddenly realised something: “Wait, the Heavenly Tower National Teacher said that when I enter the fourth realm, someone will naturally come to teach me the Immortal Techniques. Could that person be Senior Xuan Yi?”

Yes, Senior Xuan was an ancient saint who inherited the Immortal Dao lineage. How could he not know the Immortal Techniques?

With this in mind, Qin Feng awakened Senior Xuan and shamelessly mentioned his desire to learn the Immortal Technique.

Senior Xuan thought for a moment before shaking his head, “It’s not that I don’t want to teach you the Immortal Technique, but my memories of the Immortal Technique are incomplete. Teaching it to you casually might be detrimental to you.”

“I see.” Qin Feng sighed. It seemed that the person mentioned by the Heavenly Tower National Teacher was not Senior Xuan.

“Senior, is there any way I can help you recover your lost memories?” Qin Feng asked. Since Senior Xuan had helped him so much, he naturally wanted to do something in return.

“I am just a remnant soul, so it is reasonable that my memories are incomplete. But what puzzles me is that since I entered the Book Pavilion in your Divine Sea, some memories have shown signs of recovery.”

“What?”
