Chapter 220 I'm not pretending anymore, I'm coming clean.
Chapter 220 I'm not pretending anymore, I'm coming clean.
Faced with the two saints' deliberate attempts to make things difficult, Qingfeng smiled inwardly.
Those two old foxes are clearly using this incident to make a fuss and find an excuse.
They wanted to cooperate with Qingyang Sect, but were unwilling to give up too much benefit, so they first brought up the fact that they had "many Daoist partners" to put themselves in a weaker position during negotiations.
He knew perfectly well that since the two saints couldn't leave Tianxing City, they were destined to have to ask him for help.
Will I grant you two old foxes your wish?
Since you're going to make a fuss about this, I'll just lay it all out and see how you respond.
"Ah, well... since you two already know, I won't hide it from you anymore."
I do have a fondness for beautiful women, and I do have quite a few Daoist partners.
Qingfeng deliberately feigned a shocked expression, which quickly turned into one of embarrassment and helplessness as he spread his hands and said.
He spoke with utter nonchalance, even with a tone that seemed to take it for granted.
"But my love is not based on status or wealth; it is an equal love for all fellow Daoists. I fell in love with Yuling at first sight, and my feelings are sincere. I hope that you, Uncle and Aunt, will grant my wish."
After saying that, Qingfeng cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, his face sincere and earnest, his eyes clear as if he were an honest man.
"..."
The hall was silent for a moment.
Wen Qing's eyes twitched slightly, and Ling Xiaofeng's lips also twitched involuntarily.
The two looked at each other and saw the same thought in each other's eyes.
How can this kid be so shameless?
As a renowned "pure love couple" in the chaotic Star Sea, Wen Qing and Ling Xiaofeng have been devoted to each other for hundreds of years, living a life of one love and devotion.
He has never liked the practice of having multiple wives and concubines.
Moreover, Qingfeng's attitude of "I'm a playboy but I'm sincere" is simply shameless.
"you……"
Wen Qing's expression darkened slightly, and he was about to lash out.
"Auntie, please calm down."
Qingfeng quickly waved his hand, his face full of smiles.
"I'm a straightforward person, so please forgive me if I offend you. But then again, Yuling has really been doing well since she came with me. You can send a message to ask her if you don't believe me?"
When Qingfeng said this, his tone was confident and composed.
Wen Qing's face stiffened.
She knew her daughter was in Qingfeng's hands. Although Qingfeng wouldn't harm her, the brat's intentions were quite clear.
If you don't agree, don't expect to see your daughter easily.
"Qingfeng, are you threatening us?"
Ling Xiaofeng said in a deep voice.
"No, no. I'm just telling the truth."
Besides, with the Six Paths Supreme Saints executed and the Reverse Star Alliance scattered, I have done the Star Palace a great favor.
If my uncle and aunt turn their backs on me, it won't sound good if word gets out.
Qingfeng waved his hand repeatedly, speaking lightly but with a firm hand.
Wen Qing took a deep breath, suppressing her displeasure.
She looked at Ling Xiaofeng, and their eyes met, exchanging a silent exchange for a moment.
This Qingfeng, though young, is cunning and shameless, yet his methods and strategies are extremely remarkable.
Given the current chaotic situation in the Star Sea, the Star Palace does indeed need Qingyang Sect as an ally, and Qingfeng still has Ling Yuling as a hostage.
However, we still need to work things out with him for now. We can form an alliance with Qingyang Sect, but we can't give up too many benefits.
"Hehe, since you're being sincere, we won't be ruthless."
"If you divorce your other Daoist partners, we will let our daughter marry you, what do you say?"
Wen Qing smiled and stated his terms.
Upon hearing his mother-in-law's difficult words, Qingfeng's smile suddenly vanished.
"Gentlemen, I have come here today to speak with you in good faith."
Since you two are being so difficult, let's not talk about it anymore. Farewell!
Before Qingfeng could finish speaking, the golden flower talisman in his hand flashed, and he disappeared from the spot.
They left without warning, giving the two saints no time to react.
"Madam, he's gone. Should we chase after him or not?"
Ling Xiaofeng blinked, looking at his wife who had gone too far.
Through their divine senses, Qingfeng quickly escaped the area of the Holy Mountain in a few instants.
Although with their strength and speed, they could catch up with him quickly, but... that would be too embarrassing.
"..."
Wen Qing's face turned pale and then flushed, and her chest heaved slightly, clearly indicating that she was quite angry.
She had lived for hundreds of years and seen countless scenes, but she had never encountered someone who acted so unpredictably.
Logically, shouldn't we continue to bargain and ask you to compromise and let us agree to the marriage?
How could you just flip the table like that? Do you even know how to negotiate?
"What kind of attitude is this? We are the Twin Saints of the Star Palace, and he's just a young brat over a hundred years old, how dare he be so rude!"
Wen Qing became angrier the more she thought about it.
Ling Xiaofeng glanced at her, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but didn't.
In truth, he knew that his wife's temper was mostly due to anger and embarrassment.
Qingfeng is someone who won't listen to either soft or hard tactics. They tried to manipulate him, but ended up being outmaneuvered instead.
"Should we...pursue them or not?"
Ling Xiaofeng asked tentatively.
Wen Qing remained silent for a moment.
"Why are we chasing him? If he's going to leave, what kind of behavior would it be if we chased after him?"
Wouldn't that make it seem like we, the Star Palace, are begging him?
"But what if we really break up..."
Ling Xiaofeng hesitated.
He then noticed that Madam Wen Qing's expression had become even more unpleasant.
This was precisely what frustrated her the most. Qingfeng had calculated that they couldn't do without this cooperation, which was why he dared to overturn the table.

Ling Xiaofeng hesitated.

Ultimately, the initiative is not in their hands at all.
After a long while, Wen Qing took a deep breath.
"Fine...send someone to invite him. Just say...say that the marriage is negotiable, and we can talk about it when he comes back."
Ling Xiaofeng was taken aback: "Doesn't this mean we're bowing down?"
"Otherwise what? Do you have a better idea?" Wen Qing said irritably.
Ling Xiaofeng opened his mouth, but in the end he sighed and turned to look at Jin Kui.
Jin Kui was covering his ears and closing his eyes, pretending that he hadn't seen or heard anything.
Seeing their junior brother's actions, the two saints felt they had completely lost face.
"Ahem, junior brother, I'll have to trouble you to make this trip."
Ling Xiaofeng said awkwardly.
"Yes, senior brother, I'll go right away."
Jin Kui cupped his hands in greeting, then transformed into a golden light and vanished from the main hall.
However, as soon as he flew outside the main hall, he burst into laughter.
His senior brothers and sisters hadn't suffered a setback in years, but today they were defeated by a mere young upstart in the negotiations.
"This kid is truly remarkable. He'll probably turn this Chaotic Star Sea upside down in the future."
Jin Kui shook his head, a smile playing on his lips, and flew away.
Meanwhile, Qingfeng had already fled dozens of miles away from the Holy Mountain and was flying towards the outskirts of Tianxing City.
"Hmph, two old foxes, trying to play these tricks on me. Do you really think I'm begging you?"
"I have plenty of cards to play. Even without your Star Palace, do you think I won't turn the tide?"
As Qingfeng flew away, he muttered to himself.
He wasn't bragging.
Now that the Six Paths Supreme Saint is dead and the Reverse Star Alliance has collapsed, it is the perfect time for the Qingyang Sect to rise up.
With his father, a cultivator at the Yuanhou level, swallowing up various forces would be a piece of cake.
If anyone disagrees, let them talk to my father's spear.
Collaborating with Xinggong is merely icing on the cake, not a lifeline.
