Chapter 290: Chapter 101 Red Robe No Longer Wants to Tend the Fire (Seeking Subscriptions) _6
Qin Beifeng pulled Qin Yanqiu aside and, looking at his daughter\'s pale complexion, found that the reprimand he had intended to give didn\'t quite make it to his lips.
"Yanqiu, rest well in the city for some time, and don\'t come to the Border Area battlefield anymore. You\'re about to get married to the Crown Prince. Calm your mind."
Qin Yanqiu\'s brows knitted slightly, wanting to retort, but under the watchful eyes of Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, and Cheng Guang, she couldn\'t find the words to speak.
The embarrassing scene she had just been through was even witnessed by her future husband, making Qin Yanqiu feel as if her whole life\'s reputation was almost completely ruined.
If it weren\'t for the circumstances, Qin Yanqiu truly wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Cheng Shiyuan lowered his eyes to glance at the slowly fading, and gradually disappearing spacetime rift within the canyon, feeling a lingering sense of trepidation.
"This Secret Realm is far from simple. My grandson, we owe you a great deal this time. Without you, even if I could have brought you back, I might not have been able to save Yanqiu,"
"Let\'s head back first. I need to check some information to see what is actually going on here,"
Having said that, Cheng Shiyuan took hold of Cheng Guang and leapt toward North City.
In just a moment, Cheng Shiyuan and Cheng Guang\'s figures had vanished from the spot.
Qin Beifeng, who remained on-site, was momentarily taken aback by Cheng Shiyuan\'s parting words.
Why would the Duke say such a thing again?
Could it be that this Secret Realm had a significant connection to the Princely Heir?
Did the Princely Heir play a great role in it?
Qin Beifeng turned to his daughter with a questioning look.
Faced with Qin Beifeng\'s doubts, Qin Yanqiu was also perplexed.
After all, she still felt as if everything that had happened inside the Secret Realm was like a dream.
Yet at the same time, she could sense that the Red Robe Daoist held considerable respect for Cheng Guang, but didn\'t seem to care much for Cheng Shiyuan of the Heavenly Human Realm.
Although Qin Yanqiu did not know the reason, she could guess.
Their safe and undisturbed return from the Secret Realm, without any conflict with the Red Robe Daoist, was indeed largely due to Cheng Guang.
"Father, we really owe a lot to the Princely Heir this time,"
Qin Yanqiu sighed in relief and slowly spoke out.
Upon hearing his daughter confirm this, Qin Beifeng finally felt assured that the Princely Heir had indeed exerted much effort in the Secret Realm.
After listening to Qin Yanqiu recount their experiences in the Secret Realm, including the appearance of the Red Robe Daoist, Qin Beifeng\'s eyes involuntarily tightened, and a wave of fear washed over him.
If it weren\'t for the Princely Heir\'s timely arrival, with only the Duke himself, perhaps he would not have been able to rescue Qin Yanqiu from the enigmatic Red Robe Daoist.
"No, once we return, I must properly thank both the Duke and the Princely Heir,"
After saying this, Qin Beifeng turned his gaze to Qin Yanqiu, saw her wearing the Silvermoon Battle Armor, and felt a headache coming on.
"Yanqiu, when you get back, take off that battle armor and change into the clothes other normal women wear,"
"I observed just now that the Princely Heir looks at you with as much interest as he would a piece of pork. With you looking like this, how are you supposed to make the Princely Heir take an interest in you?"
"You are soon to be married, and if the Princely Heir is dissatisfied with you, you won\'t be favored at Duke Zhen\'s Mansion, and ultimately, you will be the one to suffer,"
Qin Yanqiu, upon hearing these words, showed little change in expression, simply saying indifferently, "Father, I don\'t mind. Anyway, even after getting married, I won\'t just be some noble daughter in Duke Zhen\'s Mansion."
Qin Beifeng\'s brow furrowed slightly, and his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but he kept it to himself. His own family knew their own affairs; Qin Yanqiu was bound to take over his position in the future, to stand on her own in the Northern Expedition Army, and she couldn\'t possibly stay away.

Thus, he didn\'t speak further, only sighing.
With his daughter looking the way she did, how could she win the heart of the Princely Heir? If the Princely Heir were to marry more concubines in the future, Qin Yanqiu might not even have a place in Duke Zhen\'s Mansion.
Qin Beifeng, heavy with concerns, led Qin Yanqiu and a group of soldiers back to North City.
Along the way, he occasionally looked at Qin Yanqiu, wanting to say something, but each time he was about to speak, he swallowed the words back down.
In the end, he said nothing.
— The worries of a concerned father.
......
Cheng Guang was taken back to Duke Zhen\'s Mansion in the center of North City by Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan.
The residence of Duke Zhen\'s Mansion in North City was much simpler than that in the Capital city, with far fewer flowers, trees, rockeries, and water features, and was mostly equipped with just the necessities of life.
Although Cheng Guang had not often come to North City, there was always a room reserved for him at Duke Zhen\'s Mansion there.
Perhaps because Cheng Guang was soon to marry Qin Yanqiu in North City, the interior and exterior of Duke Zhen\'s Mansion were already being decorated with red lanterns and the character for happiness.
The air inside and out was filled with a festive atmosphere.
"Grandson, you rest well. I will take care of the wedding preparations. Rest assured and wait until the wedding day, when I\'ll come to summon you. You need not worry about other matters,"
Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, brought Cheng Guang into a room, gave him a brief reminder, and then turned to leave.
He had quite a few things to do at the moment.
Apart from helping Cheng Guang arrange his marriage, he also needed to investigate the identity of the Red Robe Daoist in the Secret Realm.
And, why by wearing the slightly odd clothes could Cheng Guang avoid the hostility of the Red Robe Daoist.
What those slightly odd clothes symbolized, he still needed to thoroughly investigate.
He could have directly asked Cheng Guang, which would have saved a lot of trouble, but the dignity uniquely belonging to an elder, and the pride of a grandfather, stopped him from stooping to inquire.
Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, planned to ask his grandson what was going on when he really could find no other way to figure it out.
Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, had left.
Qing Luan walked over unhurriedly, she had already tidied up the bedding for Cheng Guang, and asked him if he was all right.
"Qing Luan, I\'m going to cultivate for a while. Unless there\'s something important, don\'t let anyone disturb me,"
Cheng Guang said.
Qing Luan nodded gently, didn\'t ask further, and slowly withdrew, closing the door behind her as she left.
Once Qing Luan had closed the door, Cheng Guang eagerly took out the Mysterious Jade Gourd from his Storage Jade Ring.
This Mysterious Jade Gourd was the greatest gain of Cheng Guang\'s trip to the Secret Realm, aside from saving Qin Yanqiu.
Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, could probably feel that the medicinal pills inside the Mysterious Jade Gourd were not simple, but he didn\'t ask further or say anything about it.
After all, it was something his grandson had obtained, no matter how valuable, he would just be happy for Cheng Guang, rather than envious.
As soon as Cheng Guang took out the Mysterious Jade Gourd, a faint fragrance unique to medicinal pills filled the room.
Simply by smelling it, Cheng Guang\'s cultivation seemed to advance slightly.
He couldn\'t wait to open the Mysterious Jade Gourd, and beams of golden light emerged from it.
Cheng Guang peered into the Mysterious Jade Gourd.
There were about ten pills inside the Mysterious Jade Gourd.
The pills were full and golden, each covered in patterns, and upon counting them closely, there were nine layers.
Cheng Guang took out one Nine Turn Golden Pill, slowly placed it into his mouth, and then carefully stored the Mysterious Jade Gourd away.
Cheng Guang began cultivating in the lotus position.
The Nine Turn Golden Pill he had just placed in his mouth melted rapidly into a warm stream that surged into his abdomen not long after consuming it.
The Qi of the heaven and earth around him seemed to sense a call.
It rushed toward Cheng Guang like it was free, surging toward him and into his body.
Cheng Guang didn\'t even need to run the God Emperor Cultivation Method; the Heavenly and Earthly Qi howled as they rushed towards him, pouring into his body.
At the same time.
Some previously unknown information appeared in Cheng Guang\'s mind.
His Martial Cultivation, which had just broken through to the Divine Power Realm, was now rapidly rising.
The Divine Power Marks were growing quickly, becoming perfect.
At the same time, his Spirit Dao cultivation was also growing rapidly.
His Primordial Spirit instantly became more solid.
Mysterious Divine Power Marks began to emerge on the pure and flawless Primordial Spirit.
In just a moment.
Cheng Guang felt that his Primordial Spirit had become more in tune with the heaven and earth.
Spirit Dao fifth rank, Destiny Realm!
In addition, a stirring sensation from deep within his bloodline began to faintly transmit.
Cheng Guang\'s eyes flickered slightly, somewhat stunned.
"This is... Bloodline Divine Powers..."
Cheng Guang realized.
His eyes revealed joy.
I knew it, how could I not have awakened Bloodline Divine Powers!
So, they were waiting here for me!
