148 Husband and Wife Complain Together
Chapter 148
When the young marquis was in Gaoyang County, he felt that Feng Ming was not only powerful in words, because he turned around and became Yu Xiao's seventh disciple not long after.
He also paid attention to the news from Sihong Academy. Feng Ming's talent in refining medicine was so high that even he was surprised.
But when he met these two people at the gate of the imperial city, he realized that it was not only Feng Ming who surprised him, but also Bai Qiaomo.
He was in the late stage of Yuanye Realm. He almost gasped at that time. This couple really deceived everyone in Gaoyang County, including so many disciples of Sihong Academy.
Wu Yingyan was not wronged. If he knew that Bai Qiaomo had already restored his Dantian and made further progress in his cultivation, he would probably be angry to death.
The young marquis chatted with the two of them and mentioned the matter of the Feng family in Gaoyang County choosing another young master. Feng Ming was so happy that he almost slammed the table and whispered: "This young master has done such a good thing that even the father Feng can't stand it."
Seeing this gloating look, the young marquis and Bai Qiaomo couldn't help shaking their heads and laughing.
The young marquis knew that Feng Jintai, the original young master of the Feng family, was quite arrogant and didn't think much of Feng Ming and his son. But what he did was to pit his daughter.
Compared with Feng Jinlin, the IQ difference is too big.
"By the way, you know about Feng Linlang, right?"
Feng Ming shook his head: "I only know that she was taken away as a criminal. What happened later? Did the Feng family get her out?"
The young marquis nodded: "She was taken out before being brought back to the imperial city, but she was not brought back to the Feng family, and her current whereabouts are unknown."
Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo did not show any surprise, which was similar to their guess.
Bai Qiaomo did not have any great grudges against Feng Linlang. At first, he just felt that the engagement forced on him by the Feng family was a bit humiliating.
But now Bai Qiaomo is very grateful for the Feng family's actions, otherwise how would he have the opportunity to know Feng Ming.
Don't look at Feng Ming as a carefree and easy-to-approach look, but once you get along with him, you will know that it is not easy to really get into his heart.
It was thanks to this engagement that Feng Ming treated him as his own.
Whether Feng Linlang does well or not in the future, it has nothing to do with them.
Including Feng Ming, he would not go out of his way to step on her. Even before, the only person he targeted from beginning to end was Wu Yingyan, the murderer.
The three of them sat by the window upstairs. There were more guests coming up the stairs. After a while, they heard someone calling Zong Yuyan:
"Yuyan, didn't you ask us to get together when you returned to the Imperial City this time? If I hadn't heard from others that I met you outside again today, I wouldn't have known that you are in the Imperial City now. You, it's not good for you to stay in the Imperial City, but you have to run to Gaoyang County."
The guest who came upstairs walked towards Feng Ming and their table while talking.
Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo turned their heads and saw a young man in gorgeous clothes waving a fan and accompanied by guards. Although he was talking and laughing, his noble aura could not be concealed.
Hearing him call the young marquis so intimately, Feng Ming knew that this person's identity was not simple.
As Feng Ming thought, the young marquis stood up to greet him when he saw him, saying: "It turned out to be the eleventh prince. Yu Yan has met the eleventh prince, but I didn't expect to meet the eleventh prince when I went out for a meal. By the way, these two are my guests, Bai Qiaomo and Feng Ming, who also came from Gaoyang County. They are husband and wife."
When the young marquis reported the identity of the eleventh prince, Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo immediately understood.
How could this be an accidental encounter? It was clearly a deliberate visit.
Because the prince that the girl from the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion married was the eleventh prince, the young marquis had already told them about it.
Not knowing what the eleventh prince meant by coming, Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo stood up and politely saluted the eleventh prince.
Although this is a royal society, it is also a world that respects the strong. Therefore, except for servants and the like, ordinary cultivators do not have to kneel or worship when they see royal dignitaries.
When encountering a real strong person, even a prince has to hold him in respect.
So Bai Qiaomo and Feng Ming both felt that they had shown their courtesy and had no intention of neglecting the prince.
However, a trace of displeasure flashed in the depths of the eleventh prince's eyes. In his opinion, these two relied on the relationship of Zong Yuyan protecting them and did not even take him, the prince, seriously.
However, he would not reveal his inner thoughts. After all, he also wanted to recruit cultivators to serve him and help him stand out in the competition among the princes, so he still had to put on a show.
After listening to Zong Yuyan's introduction, the eleventh prince could not pretend not to know about the conflict between the princess's sister and these two at the city gate.
He came to the table and sat down, and took the initiative to invite Zong Yuyan and the other two to sit down together: "So you two are Master Bai and Master Feng, so I don't have to look for someone else. It was my wife's sister who acted inappropriately at the city gate that day, and I, as your brother-in-law, apologize to you here. She was spoiled by her family, and it happened that something happened that day, and she was in a bad mood, so she made a fuss. I also asked her sister to go back to Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion and scold her. How could she act like this in the imperial city and as a child of the Marquis's Mansion?"
Zong Yuyan laughed in his heart when he heard
this. He also expected that the eleventh prince would show up at this time, and he came to them on purpose. Hearing his casual words, he completely treated the girl from Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion as an ignorant child. If you pursue it seriously with him, it will be your fault.
Bai Qiaomo said calmly: "Your Highness,
you are too polite. What happened that day is done that day. My brother Ming and I have long forgotten it." In other words, there is no need for you, as a brother-in-law, to come here specially and apologize insincerely. Anyway, their account that day was beaten back by the young marquis on the spot.
As long as the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion and the domineering girl no longer stare at them, they will not bother to pay attention. Such people are not worthy of their attention.
Such impolite words made the guards behind the Eleventh Prince show displeasure on the spot.
In their opinion, their master came to apologize in person, and these two guys were so rude. They didn't really think that the young marquis could protect them forever.
The power of the royal family is beyond the imagination of ordinary cultivators like them.
Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo really did not underestimate the power of the royal family, but that did not mean they had to endure it.
The eleventh prince was even more annoyed, and he did not take the two seriously, so he only chatted with Zong Yuyan for a few words, then said goodbye and went to the private room next to him.
Zong Yuyan smiled lightly, and did not talk to Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo about any topic related to the eleventh prince. After the meal, the three of them left.
On the street, in the crowd, the young marquis whispered a few words: "That's why I don't want to deal with these princes. He probably wants to find out your background, but seeing that you are ignorant of the current situation, he is no longer interested. But you will regret it in the future."
Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo are not really without backers. Feng Ming's master Yu Xiao is respected even in the imperial city. After all, he is a fifth-grade alchemy master.
The imperial city has not yet reached the level where fifth-grade alchemy masters are everywhere. Fifth-grade alchemists will still be guests of honor of many forces.
Bai Qiaomo smiled calmly: "He has his own way, we have our own way. Whether he is interested or not has nothing to do with us. My brother Ming and I are not interested in these things."
This means that they have no intention of interfering in the struggle for imperial power in the imperial city. Even the Sihong Academy and their two masters are staying out of this struggle.
The young marquis agreed: "It's better to stay away."
Didn't you see that he hid in Gaoyang County? After
a day of strolling, Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo have also seen the luxury and high prices of the imperial city. Here, even a pill that is the same as other places is sold at a much higher price. Although it is expensive, the cost of living is also high.
On the second day, Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo received the news that Sihong Academy had arrived in the Imperial City. They immediately set out to the Royal Academy in the north of the Imperial City to meet with the Sihong Academy.
The venue of the league was held at the Royal Academy, and the Royal Academy would also arrange accommodation for some important forces, such as the Sihong Academy.
Not long after arriving at the Royal Academy, the people from the Sihong Academy arrived. Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo saw the leader Pei Yingmin walking in the front.
There was a person behind him, and Feng Ming jumped up when he saw him, and he ran over and shouted.
"Master, Master, you are here too, I thought Master would stay in the academy."
Bai Qiaomo was also surprised that Yu Xiao would come in person. He thought, maybe it was because Yu Xiao was worried about Feng Ming, so he came to cheer him up.
I have to say that Master Yu Xiao's arrival was really good and wonderful. In this way, Feng Ming is no longer a small character who can be bullied and manipulated by others. Even his master came to support him.
Feng Ming ran to find his master, and Bai Qiaomo came to his eldest senior brother. There was no need for him to hide his identity any longer.
He saluted respectfully to his elder brother: "Elder brother, didn't the old master come? How was your journey?"
Pei Yingmin smiled and gave Bai Qiaomo a punch: "My master has to stay in the academy, so I led the team. We had a very good journey. I didn't expect you to get there first. Your journey was much more difficult than ours. Was it smooth?"
Bai Qiaomo smiled, not looking at the others who looked shocked: "It was quite smooth, but we got into some trouble after arriving in the imperial city. Fortunately, the young Marquis of the clan protected us, and my brother Ming and I are all fine."
Bai Qiaomo himself was not the type of person who was used to complaining to others. According to his habit in his previous life, he would not tell this to his elder brother.
But being with Feng Ming had a great influence on him, and he was willing to change his previous ideas and practices.
Yes, he was complaining to the eldest senior brother.
On the other hand, Feng Ming, who had finished telling his master about the old days, also complained to his master. Someone wanted to bully your beloved disciple, so you can't just ignore it.
The eldest senior brother was shocked by Bai Qiaomo's complaint and the content of the complaint: "Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion? Why are the girls in his mansion so domineering that they can whip our disciples from Sihong Academy?"
The eldest senior brother was annoyed when he heard it. The people in the carriage didn't show up, but just glanced at the carriage and the driver, and the people inside whipped Feng Ming's face without saying anything.
If it was an ordinary person, wouldn't his face be immediately beaten to pieces?
Bai Qiaomo smiled and said, "Fortunately, the young marquis showed up in time, so my brother Ming and I didn't suffer any injustice. But I think that mansion will not give up. They are tracking down my brother Ming's and my identities and want to get back the money. My brother Ming and I have caused trouble for the academy and our senior brother."
The senior brother waved his hand, "What kind of trouble is this? Our academy can't even protect our own disciples, not to mention that you are my junior brother, and we will not tolerate others bullying you. It's not like you guys are looking for trouble on purpose."
