Immortal God of War-Chapter 752 - 717 Still Going to Die_1

Outside the door, on the corridor.

Qin Yue and Qin Xi stood side by side.

Seeing Qin Feiyang emerge, they immediately bowed in respect.

"Don’t be so formal."

Qin Feiyang smiled, glanced around the corridor, didn’t see the middle-aged woman, and asked, "Where is the madam?"

Qin Yue replied, "Someone sent her a message; she left."

"Let’s go then!"

Qin Feiyang nodded, took the two women, and went downstairs.

Seeing this, the others were all astonished. What’s going on? Why did these two women go downstairs with Qin Feiyang?

Lu Xingchen was also a little stunned.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the lobby, and Qin Feiyang led them toward Lu Xingchen.

"Greetings, Young Master Lu."

To Qin Feiyang’s surprise, both women bowed respectfully as soon as they saw Lu Xingchen.

Qin Feiyang asked in surprise, "You know each other?"

Lu Xingchen laughed. "I met them the first time I came to Fragrant Moon Tower. Would you say we know each other?"

Qin Feiyang said with a sudden realization, "So that’s how it is."

"The first time I came, I saw everyone bidding, and just like you initially, I found it very strange," Lu Xingchen said via voice transmission. "Later, after some inquiries, I found out they were your former handmaidens. So, I paid a high price and bought their time for one night."

"Bought their time for one night?" Qin Feiyang raised his eyebrows.

"Don’t misunderstand. I didn’t do anything that night; I just chatted with them," Lu Xingchen chuckled, speaking via voice transmission.

Qin Feiyang said, "So, you also know why they were at Fragrant Moon Tower?"

"I do," Lu Xingchen said via voice transmission. "It’s precisely because I knew that I deliberately brought you to Fragrant Moon Tower."

"Thank you," Qin Feiyang thanked him sincerely via voice transmission. If it weren’t for Lu Xingchen, who knows when I would have learned about Qin Yue and Qin Xi’s current plight.

"There’s no need for thanks. After all, I still owe you many favors," Lu Xingchen replied with a faint smile, also via voice transmission.

Just then, a man in black attire walked into Fragrant Moon Tower. He swept his gaze across the lobby, and his eyes immediately locked onto Qin Feiyang.

The man in black walked straight up to Qin Feiyang and bowed. "Master Qin, good day."

Qin Feiyang paused, asking in puzzlement, "And you are?"

"I am a guard serving Martial Marquis Qian. Our Marquis requests your presence at his estate for a discussion," the man in black said via voice transmission.

"Martial Marquis Qian?" Qin Feiyang frowned subtly.

"What is it?" Lu Xingchen asked via voice transmission.

Qin Feiyang transmitted back, "Martial Marquis Qian wants to see me. He’s Feng Yun’s father."

"What does he want to see you for?" Lu Xingchen asked skeptically via voice transmission.

"I don’t know either," Qin Feiyang replied via voice transmission, then looked at the man in black and asked aloud, "Does the Marquis require something of me?"

"The Marquis only said he wishes to invite you to his estate as a guest. I know nothing more," the man in black replied via voice transmission.

Qin Feiyang pondered for a moment, then asked, "When am I to go?"

"Right now," the man in black said via voice transmission. "The Marquis has already prepared a banquet and is respectfully awaiting your arrival, Young Master."

A glint flashed in Qin Feiyang’s eyes. He looked at the man in black and said, "Go wait for me outside."

"Yes, sir." The man in black bowed and then turned to leave.

Lu Xingchen watched the imposing man’s retreating back thoughtfully and murmured in a low voice, "Be careful, this might be a trap."

"Even if it’s a trap, I must go. After all, he is a Marquis, and he’s already prepared a banquet," Qin Feiyang said.

"Then what about them?" Lu Xingchen glanced at Qin Yue and Qin Xi, then asked. "Remember, only War Ancestors are qualified to enter the Temple."

Qin Feiyang smiled. "That’s easy to arrange. They can go to the old castle."

But before he could finish speaking, Qin Yue said, "Young Master, I have an impudent request."

Qin Feiyang smiled. "Speak freely."

Qin Yue said, "It’s been over ten years, and we’ve never once returned home. We wish to go back and see our families. Please, Young Master, grant us this."

"You haven’t been home in over ten years?" Qin Feiyang frowned.

The two women nodded.

Lu Xingchen asked via voice transmission, "Is it the owner of Fragrant Moon Tower who prevented you from returning?"

The two women nodded again.

Lu Xingchen sighed inwardly. Sigh, truly pitiful.

Murderous intent also flickered in Qin Feiyang’s eyes. Whether it’s the Eldest Prince or the owner of this Fragrant Moon Tower, they both deserve to die!

Soon, however, he concealed the murderous intent in his eyes and smiled. "You may return. Go and spend some good time with your families." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Thank you, Young Master!" The two women were overjoyed and bowed in gratitude.

Qin Feiyang smiled and waved his hand; Fatty materialized out of thin air.

Seeing Fatty appear out of thin air without any warning, everyone in the lobby, including Qin Yue and Qin Xi, showed expressions of astonishment.

Qin Feiyang said to Fatty via voice transmission, "You escort these two home."

"No problem," Fatty asked via voice transmission. "But should I tell them your identity?"

"They’ve only just regained their freedom, and their hearts haven’t calmed down yet. So, don’t tell them for now," Qin Feiyang transmitted. Actually, what worries me most is that the two women already feel they’ve let me down and disgraced me. If they were to learn now that I am the Fourteenth Prince, their guilt would surely intensify, and they would feel too ashamed to face me again. Who knows what foolish things they might do then.

"Understood," Fatty nodded.

"Protect them well. I don’t want them to suffer any more harm." Qin Feiyang got up, patted Fatty on the shoulder, and then walked out of the Fragrant Moon Tower.

The man in black immediately activated a teleportation portal, and the two were about to step inside.

"Qin Feiyang, wait a moment. Let’s talk."

But just then, a flat voice suddenly sounded.

Qin Feiyang followed the voice and, by the moonlight, saw a familiar figure on the edge of the opposite street.

It was Zhuge Mingyang!

The man in black’s pupils constricted. He bowed and said, "Greetings, Young Master Zhuge."

"Mm." Zhuge Mingyang nodded, then looked at Qin Feiyang and said, "Follow me."

With that, he turned and walked towards a small alley behind him.

Under the hazy moonlight, Zhuge Mingyang’s expression was hard to discern. But his calm tone carried a hint of somberness.

Qin Feiyang frowned and said to the man in black, "Wait for me here."

"Very well." The man in black nodded. After Qin Feiyang entered the alley, a trace of suspicion appeared in his eyes.

The alley was incredibly dark, as the buildings on both sides blocked the moonlight.

Qin Feiyang and Zhuge Mingyang stood facing each other.

Zhuge Mingyang said, "Qin Feiyang, you are truly inscrutable. Can you tell me who you really are?"

Qin Feiyang’s heart tightened. He chuckled, "Brother Zhuge, why would you say such a thing?"

"The Eldest Prince said you were obsessed with beautiful women because it was your first taste of forbidden fruit. But I don’t believe it," Zhuge Mingyang said. "So, just now, I sent a message to the madam of Fragrant Moon Tower to inquire about the situation."

Qin Feiyang realized. "So it was you who sent her the message."

"That’s right," Zhuge Mingyang said, his gaze becoming somewhat sharp. "According to the madam, from the moment Qin Yue and Qin Xi entered the Spring Aura Pavilion until you had Qin Xi fetch her, only a few hundred breaths passed. I am very puzzled. How could a man obsessed with carnal pleasures find enjoyment in such a short time? Brother Qin, would you kindly enlighten me on this?"

Qin Feiyang’s pupils constricted. This Zhuge Mingyang is truly meticulous.

Simultaneously, he felt quite annoyed. At the time, in my anger and haste, I actually overlooked this point!

"Have you nothing to say?" Zhuge Mingyang said. "Then let me say it. You had no physical contact with Qin Yue and Qin Xi at all. You helped them for some other reason."

Qin Feiyang said impassively, "Then I also wish to ask Brother Zhuge a question. A person as clever as yourself, why would you choose to work for the Eldest Prince?"

"I’ve answered this question before," Zhuge Mingyang said. "The various princes are engaged in open and hidden struggles. If I don’t choose a side, sooner or later, I will suffer the fate of an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire."

Qin Feiyang smiled faintly. "That kind of nonsense might fool others."

Zhuge Mingyang frowned. "Believe it or not, that is the truth. Now, you should answer my question."

"Alright!" Qin Feiyang said helplessly. He wasn’t feigning; he truly felt helpless. Initially, I wanted to say I had some connection with Qin Yue and Qin Xi. But how could someone who just arrived in the Imperial Capital possibly have ties to handmaidens from the Imperial Palace? So, I really couldn’t find any other excuse. "I admit, I helped them because I saw they were pitiful."

"This makes me even more puzzled," Zhuge Mingyang said. "Those escort girls at Fragrant Moon Tower are even more pitiful than them. Why haven’t I seen you help them?"

"Correct," Qin Feiyang said. "They are all pitiful. After all, in this world, no woman would willingly cast aside her self-respect to please those men. However, even if forced by circumstances, they entered Fragrant Moon Tower voluntarily. But Qin Yue and Qin Xi are different. They were forcibly compelled by the Eldest Prince. He even used their families to threaten them. Is the nature of this the same?"

Zhuge Mingyang shook his head. "To use your own words, that kind of nonsense might fool others."

Qin Feiyang said flatly, "Then I’ll return your words to you: believe it or not, that is the truth."

WHOOSH!

Before his words had even faded, Zhuge Mingyang took a step forward, landing before Qin Feiyang, his body suffused with a bone-chillingly cold current.

"Brother Zhuge, are you planning to make a move?" Qin Feiyang’s gaze remained calm and undisturbed.

Zhuge Mingyang said, "If I were the Eldest Prince, I definitely wouldn’t trust you."

"The crucial point is, you are not the Eldest Prince," Qin Feiyang said. "And as for me, Qin Feiyang, I harbor no disloyalty towards the Eldest Prince."

Zhuge Mingyang looked deeply at Qin Feiyang, then retreated a few steps and said, "I don’t care what you plan to do, but I advise you: do not harm the Eldest Prince. Otherwise, I will fight you to the death."

With that, Zhuge Mingyang waved his hand, activating a teleportation portal.

"Then let me also tell you: anyone who becomes an enemy of me, Qin Feiyang, will die, even if you were once the foremost prodigy of the Imperial Capital," Qin Feiyang said.

"Is that so?" Zhuge Mingyang turned his head, gave him a meaningful glance, and then stepped directly into the teleportation portal.

"Yes, it is." Watching the teleportation portal dissipate, Qin Feiyang murmured to himself, then turned and walked out of the alley, accompanying the man in black to Martial Marquis Qian’s estate.
