Chapter 422: A Dignified Youth with Ambitions

The Third Prince immediately stood up, clasped his fists and said respectfully,”I pay my respects to Lord Zhen.”

“Your Highness, the Third Prince.” Zhen Tianyi made a simple salute and said, “It seems you have things to discuss, I won’t disturb you.”

In his opinion, the Third Prince’s visit to the mansion must be related to meeting Qin family members.

However, just as he was about to leave, he heard the third prince say, “I came here to find Lord Zhen.”

“To find me?” Zhen Tianyi stopped in his tracks.

“Yesterday, after watching the martial arts competition at the Suspended Martial Platform, I was deeply impressed by Lord Zhen.”

“I hope to be able to apprentice under Lord Zhen, learn the way of the blade, and advance further.” The third prince directly stated the purpose of his visit. He then signaled to those who were accompanying him.

The people accompanying him immediately took out many objects from the spatial treasure.

In addition to gold and silver artifacts, there were elixirs that helped martial warriors enhance their cultivation, as well as countless healing sacred medicines.

The most eye-catching among them was a knife, which was glowing with red light like a flame, obviously an extraordinary item.

Zhen Tianyi obviously knew this sword and said in surprise, “Skyflow Flame Blade? I didn’t expect you to find this knife.”

“Big brother, what is the Skyflow Flame Blade?” The Second Brother asked in a low voice.

Qin Feng frowned, “I read in a book that before the Fire Phoenix dies, it will find a hidden place in a volcano”

“It will then bury its body in molten lava and become a part of it.”

“However, its spine will not be melted by the flames but preserved. A skilled craftsman found the spine of that Fire Phoenix after numerous hardships and, using heavenly thunder, forged a divine knife.”

“The blade’s energy can transform into flames that can melt everything. That is the Skyflow Flame Blade. Its power may even surpass the Sky Cutting Knife.”

Such a divine weapon had an unparalleled attraction for every martial artist who used a knife.

Qin Feng was slightly worried.

“I spent a lot of effort to find this sword, just to use it as a ceremony to worship Lord Zhen as my teacher.” The third prince said with a confident smile.

Zhen Tianyi walked up to the Flame Blade, observed it from head to toe, and exclaimed, “Indeed, it’s a good knife.”

The members of the Qin family felt a sinking feeling upon hearing this.

The third prince smiled and raised his eyebrows, “About the matter of apprenticeship.”

“Unfortunately, although it’s a good knife, it’s not destined for me.”

“I appreciate Your Highness’s interest in wanting to apprentice under me, but I have already made an exception and accepted someone as my disciple. In this life, there will only be one disciple.” Zhen Tianyi looked at Qin An and replied.

Father Qin sighed lightly and said, “We had already anticipated this day from the beginning; it was only a matter of time. As the child grows up, he naturally has his own plans. There’s no need to force anything.”

”Moreover, with demons rampant in the Southern Domain, the fact that Lord Zhen can stay for three more days is already sufficient time for us.”

Zhen Tianyi glanced at Father Qin meaningfully, and spoke again, “During these three days, spend time together. Three days later, we set out on time.”

For the Qin family, three days passed like the blink of an eye.

During these days, the Second Mother had red eyes all day, unwilling to see her second son leave.

But banquets never last forever; a good man always has to venture out, and An’er was no exception.

As the sun just broke dawn, its rays illuminated the gates of the Qin residence.

Outside the gates, three spirited horses were already in position.

The second brother changed into a new set of clothes, which was meticulously sewn by the Second Mother day and night.

As the departure drew near, even the usually carefree second brother became sentimental, bidding farewell to each family member one by one.

The Second Mother, being a mother, had more to say as the moment of separation approached.

“I don’t know when you will come back after leaving this time. If you have time, be sure to remember to write a letter home. The Huarong Road in the Southern Territory has been built, and there are stations everywhere. It’s just a letter, and it won’t take much time.”

“It is your first time to travel far away. There must be many things you don’t understand. Learn from the Divine General and don’t be afraid of hardship. When the weather gets cold, add more clothes. In that bundle, I’ve put three sets of clothes for you. Remember to change and wear them.”

“I was planning to find you a wife in Imperial City. I didn’t expect you to leave so soon. If you meet a girl you like while traveling, be bold and proactive.”

“Your father married me that way. You don’t have to worry about me and your father disagreeing. As long as you like the girl, we are all willing.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng looked towards his father beside him, showing a strange expression.

Father Qin’s face stiffened, and he coughed dryly and said, “Madam, that’s enough. An’er is in a hurry to hit the road.”

The Second Mother opened her mouth but ultimately restrained her overflowing thoughts.

After some advice from the old man, he stopped talking.

The second brother turned to look at his respected elder brother, revealing a reluctant expression.

Qin Feng patted his shoulder and smiled, “This time departing, practice well with the Lord Zhen. I hope that one day, my second brother’s name will be as famous as those thirty-six stars and twelve divine generals, known by everyone!”

Qin An was inspired, nodded heavily and said, “I will do it, brother!”

The sound of hooves rose, and they went on their way.

A fine young man should aspire to make his mark in all directions
