After several days of travel, Lu Tianming finally set foot on the land of Linwu County. Gazing at the familiar town, a surge of emotions washed over him like a tidal wave. His fingers instinctively clenched, producing a cracking sound that reflected the turmoil within his heart.
Without any hesitation, he made his way to the Li Family. Upon arriving at the Li Family estate, he noticed that the mansion was adorned with lanterns and decorations, exuding an atmosphere of celebration, as if welcoming some esteemed guest. The sounds of chatter and laughter intertwined, creating a lively scene.
Lu Tianming did not rush in but chose to observe from the shadows, inquiring with townsfolk about what was happening at the Li Family.
Inside the Li Family hall, Li Chenhui, the head of the family, was respectfully toasting a young man. The young man was dressed in luxurious garments, his face handsome and refined, exuding an air of nobility with every gesture. However, he treated Li Chenhui's toast with indifference, clearly not regarding him highly.
Seeing this, Li Chenhui did not show any sign of anger; instead, he maintained a smiling demeanor and cautiously asked, "May I ask what brings you here today, young master?"
The young man smiled faintly and replied, "I have fallen in love with Li Xinyi at first sight and have come specifically to present my betrothal gifts."
Upon hearing this, Li Chenhui's heart leaped with joy. It was well known that this young man was the Da Wang Zi of Qi State, a figure of immense status.
Qi State was vastly different from Qin State; under the king's diligent governance, its national strength had been steadily rising, far surpassing the fragmented state of Qin. Moreover, Qi State was protected by Ancestor Ye, who had reached the second level of the imperial realm—its power was indeed formidable.
Thus, when Li Chenhui learned that the Da Wang Zi had intentions toward Li Xinyi, he felt an overwhelming sense of happiness. He quickly said, "Since you hold my daughter in such high regard, it is certainly her fortune." He then instructed his servants to summon Li Xinyi immediately.
In a quaint and serene courtyard sat a young girl dressed in an elegant long dress. Her features were delicate, and her gaze was focused as she listened intently to the news being conveyed by a servant nearby.
"The Prince of Qi Country is truly a prodigy; at only thirty years old, he has already reached the Celestial Five Layers realm. Such cultivation is exceedingly rare even across the entire continent." The servant's voice carried a hint of reverence and awe. However, this was merely the power he openly displayed; no one knew how far his true cultivation had reached.
Hearing this made the girl furrow her brow slightly as a wave of worry washed over her. She understood well that although she was regarded as a genius within Qin State, her cultivation was merely at the first level of Celestial Being—vastly inferior compared to the Prince of Qi Country.
Moreover, Qi State was currently flourishing; its strength had long surpassed that of Qin State. The servant's words only deepened her concerns: Qin State was on shaky ground, its power slipping away under the control of General Li Siyuan and Prime Minister Zhao De. If not for Qin State's vast territory and numerous counties under its rule, it might have already changed hands.
Feeling disheartened by these thoughts, she realized that as a citizen of Qin State, she could do nothing to change this situation but silently endure this helplessness and sorrow.
Just as she was lost in contemplation, she suddenly stood up and decided to head to the hall to find out what was happening. Entering the grand hall, she saw a young man with an extraordinary presence seated at the main seat—this was Qi Xiao, the Da Wang Zi of Qi State.
Li Xinyi slightly bowed in greeting. Seeing this, Qi Xiao quickly rose to assist her. His eyes revealed an unmistakable desire and anticipation.
Li Chenhui watched this interaction with relief flooding his heart; he knew he had secured a powerful ally in Qi State. From now on, Qin State would think twice before daring to act against him.
