Two days before the Cang Shen Heroes Battle.
The imperial city of Cang Shen Kingdom, Qiao family.
Qiao Jinhe stood in his courtyard and looked up at the sky.
He has been standing here for a long time.
At this time, a middle-aged man with luxurious clothes and an imposing manner walked in.
Behind him followed Qiao Jinhe's sister, Qiao Yuyuan, the daughter of the Qiao family.
She looked at her brother with a sad face, but didn't dare to say anything.
The middle-aged man, Qiao Danggui, the current head of the Qiao family, walked to Qiao Jinhe's side and glanced at the grass in front of him.
There was a Pure Heart Lotus placed there... It was said to be Xia Ningmo's favorite medicinal herb.
In Qiao Danggui's opinion, this woman was quite strange... She didn't like beautiful things like flowers like ordinary women, nor did she like vulgar things like money... but she liked an inconspicuous medicinal herb.
But perhaps it is precisely because of this that so many of the imperial city's proudest talents have fallen for her... including his own son, who is completely bewitched by her.
Ever since the Medicine God Sect released the news of Xia Ningmo's unfortunate death in the secret realm, Qiao Jinhe has not eaten, drunk or slept, and has been standing here until now.
Of course, with his level of cultivation, even if he doesn’t eat, drink or sleep for two months, it won’t have much effect on him.
"You're still thinking about her now?"
Qiao Danggui asked calmly.
Qiao Jinhe nodded sadly and said:
"Father, my heart no longer has room for anyone else. Even if I meet another woman in the future, she can only be a concubine of the Qiao family at best, and she can never become the wife of the Qiao family."
"The only wife in my heart is Xia Ningmo."
"But she is already dead. Even the leader of the Medicine God Sect cannot revive her."
Qiao Danggui said calmly:
"Compared to the honor of the Qiao family, what's the point of a mere deceased woman?!"
"In two days, the Cang Shen Heroes Tournament will begin... This time, it's our Qiao family's turn to host the Cang Shen Heroes Tournament. We must defend our Qiao family's honor as the top-ranked force in the Cang Shen Nation!"
This "ranked first among the top forces" naturally refers to the situation where the royal family of Cang Shen Kingdom is excluded.
Although the royal family of Cang Shen Kingdom would send their own princes to participate in the Cang Shen Heroes Battle in previous years, they would not steal too much limelight.
Unless it is their turn to host this battle of Cang Shen heroes.
"I can give you so much time to be depressed and miss a deceased woman."
"But if you bring shame to our Qiao family in this Cangshen Heroic Battle because of a deceased woman... then your father will definitely not be as lenient as before and will definitely punish you according to the family rules!"
Hearing this, even Qiao Jinhe, who was usually fearless, couldn't help but shudder.
After all, the family rules of their Qiao family are really strict... and scary.
Otherwise, a group of extremely terrifying geniuses would not have been cultivated.
Qiao Jinhe took a deep breath, took one last look at the Pure Heart Lotus, then retracted his gaze and looked at Qiao Danggui, saying solemnly:
"Father, please rest assured. I will never bring shame to the Qiao family... At the same time, I also want everyone in the Cangshen Nation to know that even though Xia Ningmo is gone, I am definitely the man who deserves him the most!"
"Even Cang Luanming is not worthy!"
Despite his words which could be considered as disrespectful, Qiao Danggui nodded with a look of satisfaction.
After all, Cang Luanming is not yet the current crown prince of Cang Shen Kingdom, so even if he said such words, Qiao Danggui didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
In his opinion, Cang Luanming was indeed not a favored son of the royal family.
However, this name reminded him of the royal family of Cangshen Kingdom. He said:
"I'll ask your uncle to keep a closer eye on the prince sent by the royal family this time... I've always felt like something's amiss with the royal family lately. Maybe something might have happened."
"Therefore, if the day comes when the Cangshen Heroes War begins, if the prince sent by the royal family shows any abnormality, we will be able to know and respond immediately."
"You shouldn't encounter any accidents by then."
Qiao Jinhe nodded.
Soon, two days passed quietly.
At this time, the Qiao family gathered the geniuses of all the top forces in the entire Cang Shen Kingdom.
The royal family of Cang Shen Kingdom, the Qiao family of Cang Shen Kingdom, the Mo family of Cang Shen Kingdom, the Xuanyuan Chamber of Commerce of Cang Shen Kingdom, and the ruling families of the five major capitals.
They all came here with the talents they had cultivated.
When Fu Changtian saw that Lu Lan was no longer with Yuan Wuwei this time, he almost couldn't help laughing on the spot.
Although in order to kill Lu Lan, their Fu family paid the price of several young alchemists and even lost an extremely precious soul-dividing talisman.
But as long as Lu Lan dies, all this will be worth it!
"Haha, Patriarch Yuan, how are you?...Looking at you these past two months, you've been so upset, haven't you? Aren't you feeling overly sad over a young boy?"
Yuan Wuwei's mental state is indeed not very good at the moment, and he looks a little listless.
But this is certainly not because Lu Lan was too sad about "dying" in the Ancient Medicine Wonderland, but because... this is a disguise that Lu Lan deliberately made.
It can't be considered a disguise... It's just a small decoration, and the purpose is naturally to prevent those who know the relationship between Lu Lan and Yuan Wuwei from seeing the flaws.
Although Yuan Wuwei's acting skills are naturally impeccable, Lu Lan is always a thorn in the other party's flesh, and the other party will not feel at ease unless he pulls it out... So just in case, Yuan Wuwei also complied with Lu Lan's request and made himself look like this.
