Xiao Qing was cultivating in the backyard, where one could see the leaves of many medicinal herbs had wilted.

This was because most of their medicinal essence had been absorbed.

After dealing with his own affairs, Qin Niu took advantage of the moonlight and sat down beside the herbs to cultivate.

Unlike Xiao Qing, he practiced the Everlasting Spring Technique, which could, in fact, help the herbs recover quickly, regrowing their medicinal essence.

At that moment, Xiao Qing had reached her limit and had to stop cultivating.

After watching Qin Niu for a while, she did not disturb him but went back to her room to sleep and rest.

The cultivation of most techniques consumes spiritual power.

Many people cultivate for one or two hours, and then recover their spiritual power through rest, meditation, and other means.

The next morning, after breakfast, Qin Niu was about to leave the house when he heard arguing and the sound of something being smashed next door at the Wang Furen’s residence.

“Go if you want, I don’t want to marry that Young Master Lu!”

Wang Wanyan’s angry roar came from inside the house.

“Young Master Lu is none other than the son of the City Commandant of Black Tiger City, his status is incomparably noble! If you are fortunate enough to be chosen by him, not only will you enjoy a lifetime of glory and riches, but even your father will become noble through you. Even our deceased ancestors and your mother will share in the glory. This is true honoring of one’s ancestors, do you understand?”

Wang Furen was making every effort to persuade his daughter.

Outside, a carriage had already stopped there.

It must have come from the city.

One could also see an official servant dressed in a black robe personally acting as the coachman.

“There are many ways to honor one’s ancestors; it doesn’t mean I have to exchange my lifetime of happiness, my dignity, and this body of mine for the glory and wealth that you desire. I don’t covet those. I will strive to cultivate, strive to become a distinguished person like Alt Niu; that is what I want, do you understand?”

Wang Wanyan’s voice was laced with sobbing.

It also contained a stubbornness that seemed about to defy death itself.

“Alt Niu is a man, so he must make his own efforts to strive. As a girl, what are you competing for? Besides, with your outstanding appearance, why wouldn’t you take the broad and easy road instead of insisting on the thorny path? Moreover, becoming a person above others is not that easy. Ah Niu has become a distinguished Insect Master, but that’s one in ten thousand.

If you just get chosen by Young Master Lu, your status will immediately be a thousand times, ten thousand times more noble than Ah Niu’s.

Good daughter, listening to your father won’t be wrong.

There are many women who want to marry Young Master Lu. It was only after great difficulty that I managed to secure an invitation for you. If you miss this opportunity, there will never be another chance to rise to prominence like a phoenix!”

Wang Furen is a merchant, at his core he’s opportunistic, always scheming to seize the greatest benefit.

Why take a detour when there’s a shortcut?

That’s his value and life philosophy.

“I won’t go! If you insist on forcing me, then I will hang myself.”

Wang Wanyan resisted with the threat of death.

“Wan Yan, listen to your father! Ah!”

It was the voice of Wang Furen’s servant girl.

Bang!

The sound of something being smashed again.

“Get lost, you’re just a servant girl, you have no right to meddle in your master’s affairs.”

In her anger, Wang Wanyan’s words were quite hurtful.

“You girl, how can you speak like that?” Wang Furen quickly spoke up for his ‘little wife’.

But at the moment, he was relying on his daughter to go to the city to attend the lantern festival, so he did not reprimand her.

The woman must have been angered and did not speak again.

She didn’t even have the status of a concubine, so she really had no right to interfere in her master’s affairs.

This is the sorrow of a servant girl.

No matter how much she pleases her male master, at most her status is just a bit higher than an ordinary servant’s, with no way to be compared with the young masters and mistresses.

She can’t even sit at the table for meals.

“Today, either I die, or you give up the idea of making me attend the Lantern Festival.”

Wang Wanyan reiterated her determination to Wang Furen.

“Is it that you want to marry Air Niu?” Wang Furen asked his daughter.

She was silent.

“Alt, my foolish daughter, how could you be so confused? Ah Niu has now become an Insect Master and has some small fortune, indeed being the most promising young man within ten miles. But can he compare to Young Master Lu? Marrying him, at most you’ll just be well-fed and warmly dressed, with a little bit of status in the village. If you marry Young Master Lu, then you will be one of the most distinguished figures in Black Tiger City.

You want to cultivate, don’t you?

Once you become Madam Lu, the top cultivation techniques, all kinds of elixirs, all sorts of precious items will be presented to you.

These are things Ah Niu will never be able to give you.”

Wang Furen was speechless, really not understanding how his daughter could be infatuated with the poor boy next door.

“It’s getting late, please Miss Wang hurry up and get on the carriage! Your family asked Official Liu to register, and the list of names has already been submitted, now saying you won’t go is definitely not acceptable. If it’s traced back from above, that would be a serious crime.”

The official’s emissary sternly urged the father and daughter inside the house.

“I won’t go! If there’s a crime to be punished, then punish me already!”

Wang Wanyan shouted angrily.

“How dare you speak like that?”

The official’s emissary typically lorded it over the common people, and although he was just a lowly runner at the bottom of the officialdom, he became as overbearing as a crab when he dealt with the villagers.

Just like the eunuchs in the ancient Emperor Palace, who bowed and scraped inside, living like groveling dogs.

Once they left the palace, they immediately owned private mansions and kept women, with local officials flocking to pay their respects.

“My lord, I beg your pardon, please don’t take offense at my daughter’s words. I’ll persuade her again, and we’ll be ready immediately.”

Wang Furen started another round of persuasion.

However, Wan Yan remained unyielding.

“All this prattle is just wasting my time. Just tie her up and take her away.”

The official’s runner grew impatient.

He strode into the house, ready to tie up Wang Wanyan.

“No, no, that won’t do!”

Seeing the situation unfold, Wang Furen quickly pleaded and tried to intercede.

He was afraid his daughter would get hurt.

“Get out of the way! You have no say in this now!”

The emissary was very aggressive, and if he didn’t bring someone back, how could he answer to his superiors?

The runner’s cultivation wasn’t bad, at least twofold above that of an ordinary person. With a casual flick, Wang Furen was sent tumbling to one side, hitting his head and forming a large bump.

The runner walked briskly towards Wang Wanyan, holding a rope in his hand.

It seemed he was no stranger to this kind of work, quite prepared for the task.

Bang!

The body of the official’s runner flew out of the door and slammed hard onto the steps.

“Ow, it hurts so much! You, you wench, how outrageous, I am an emissary of the officials, you dare to harm me, I shall have you thrown into the great prison!”

The runner was extremely shocked and angry.

Perhaps he never imagined that such a delicate-looking girl could possess such mighty strength.

He was no match for her.

Taking a beating, the runner dared not enter again, but instead prepared to drive the carriage back to the city to seek reinforcements.

“Hold on!”

Qin Niu blocked the carriage’s path.

“Where did this troublemaking peasant come from, get out of the way!”

The runner was furious, having just been beaten by Wang Wanyan and now obstructed by a youth from the countryside. What kind of place was this Shuangfeng Village?

A place of poor and fierce land that produced nothing but troublemakers.

“Get down from there!”

Qin Niu immediately brandished the bronze Fish Talisman.

“Aiyoh… it turns out to be Master Qin, I am a blind fool and deserve to be punished!”

The moment the runner saw the bronze Fish Talisman, he was scared out of his wits.

Even ordinary officials did not have such an object; it was something that only a Historian of that rank would possess.

He was merely an emissary of the officials, practically on par with an idler, how could he dare offend Qin Niu?

He rolled off the carriage and began slapping his own face.

“Enough, enough. Just for your raising your voice at this Insect Master, you could be charged with a crime. Do you want to rot in jail, or would you prefer to take this piece of Silver Money and go back?”

Qin Niu took out One Tael of Silver.

“I wouldn’t dare to acceptyour Silver Money, sir!”

The runner waved his hands repeatedly to refuse.

“Tell your superior that Miss Wang is very ill, gravely ill in fact. If you handle this well, this is your tip. If you fail, then you better add a little more to buy several coffins, as I’ll see your whole family laid to rest.”

Qin Niu spoke indifferently, his expression unwavering.

The runner was scared witless.

Today was truly an unlucky day, not only had he been beaten by a girl, but now he had also encountered an even more terrifying presence.

He couldn’t afford to provoke such a person.

“I will do my utmost to handle this affair!”

The moment the runner heard that if the matter wasn’t handled well, Qin Niu would kill all of his family, he knelt on the ground immediately.
