It had been some time since the Princess’s Husband Selection event ended. However, some matters continued to spread and grow hotter.
For instance, the story of Qin Yichen and Eldest Princess Lu Linghan was magnified endlessly, becoming a topic of enthusiastic discussion.
It was unknown who started it, but the story went that Qin Yichen was originally just a small guard by Princess Lu Linghan’s side. After they fell in love, Lu Heze forcibly separated them. As a result, Qin Yichen worked hard to improve himself, not only winning the Alchemy Competition but also killing his love rival Du Junxiong, finally reuniting with his true love.
There were various other versions, almost all depicting Qin Yichen’s rise from obscurity.
The facts may have been distorted but this has inspired many people.
From then on, Qin Yichen not only became the object of affection for young girls in the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty but also the idol and goal for all the younger generation. He was not just an Alchemy Prodigy, but also a Martial Arts genius.
Whether in the Dao of Alchemy or the Dao of Martial Arts, his talent had reached an unparalleled level.
In the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty, Qin Yichen naturally became a symbol of miracles! Many even declared that there was nothing in this world that Qin Yichen could not do.
For example, before the Alchemy Competition, who could have guessed that Qin Yichen, dressed in ordinary Alchemist robes, would win the championship?
For instance, on the day of choosing a Husband, who would have thought Qin Yichen would be a match for the prominent Du Junxiong?
Inside the Royal Palace, Qin Yichen and Little Ling’er faced each other, staring eye to eye.
Neither spoke.
Lu Linghan stood by, opening her mouth but unable to say anything.
“Is she really my Daughter?”
“Is he really my Papa?”
The adult and child almost simultaneously turned their faces to ask her.
“Uh… yes.” Lu Linghan nodded.
“So you’re my Papa.” Little Ling’er tilted her head, looking at Qin Yichen, her big eyes full of curiosity.
“This… doesn’t even make sense.” Qin Yichen’s eyes were full of confusion. After a moment, he frowned, seeming to ponder something. [It hadn’t been half a year since returning from the Black Demon Mountain Range. How did I come to have a three or four-year-old Daughter?]
However, when his gaze fell on Little Ling’er’s colourful clothes, he suddenly felt they looked familiar. [Isn’t this the women’s outfit I had taken from that mysterious coffin!?]
Although it looked much smaller, the patterns and some strange symbols on it made his pupils dilate. “Could it be…”
Seeming to think of a possibility, Qin Yichen reached out and held one of Little Ling’er’s hands.
He closed his eyes slightly, as if sensing something.
After his Spiritual Energy probed in, Qin Yichen’s brows furrowed slightly. [It’s normal. There was nothing unusual. But if Ling’er is just an ordinary child, why would such a thing happen to her?]
Qin Yichen could not figure it out no matter how hard he thought.
Of course, he did not manage to see that in Little Ling’er’s Dantian, hidden in a mist, there was a mysterious symbol emanating a primordial aura. If he had looked more carefully, he would have discovered that the symbol even had some similarities with the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl in his own Dantian.
Qin Yichen’s was a Dragon while Little Ling’er’s was that of a Human body with a Snake’s tail.
*Haaaa…* Qin Yichen did not delve deeper. Since she was his Daughter, he had the responsibility to protect and care for her.
Soon, his body returned to normal.
It was fortunate that his body had been cleansed by the Thousand Year Old Spirit Milk. Otherwise, the Spirit Realm Elder’s sleeve attack would have certainly crushed his chest. Even so, more than half of his ribs were broken.
Qin Yichen had made himself some Bone Mending Pills.
In just two days, he was able to get out of bed and walk.
The Royal Family also began preparing for their wedding.
Lu Heze was, of course, ten thousand times more satisfied with Qin Yichen as his Son-in-law.
The news was announced throughout the dynasty, and countless nobles and Forces of all sizes were eagerly preparing their gifts, hoping to present a precious gift at the wedding to leave a good impression on the couple.
Everyone knew that the future achievements of both Qin Yichen and Lu Linghan were beyond their imagination.
The news of their marriage spread, breaking the hearts of countless young men who admired Lu Linghan.
However, when they thought of Qin Yichen’s excellence, these young men could only retreat in disappointment.
As for Qin Yichen, it was not much of an issue. In this continent, it was normal for powerful men to have three wives and four concubines.
However, mentioning the marriage reminded Qin Yichen of his parents still in Spreading Cloud City, so he decided to go bring them over.
…
The news, of course, quickly spread back to Spreading Cloud City.
Spreading Cloud City, with the three Major Families cooperating, the city was naturally in a thriving state. A few days ago, when the news of Qin Yichen winning the Alchemy Competition championship spread back, it had already caused quite a stir.
Qin Yichen’s parents, who had been living in the Li Family, naturally became the objects of pursuit by all Forces. Countless people brought their Daughters to propose marriage, if nothing else, even to be a maid by Qin Yichen’s side would be good.
This led to Qin Haoran and Du Binglan not having a single day of peace.
Of course, Du Binglan was pleased to hear people praising her Son every day. This was just the pride of being parents.
“My Son has been clever since he was little…” That was what Du Binglan said.
Some were happy, some were worried.
For example, Lin Miaohan, Li Lingyan, and Liu Qiong’er. Because there was also news that Qin Yichen was participating in the Princess’s Husband Selection, and had offended Du Junxiong, the leader of the Three Outstanding Prodigies of the Royal City. To say they were not resentful would be a lie.
On this day, a team of soldiers wearing festive armour entered Spreading Cloud City.
Anyone with knowledge would recognise that these were all Royal Family guards.
From the moment these Royal Family guards entered the city, they attracted the attention of many onlookers, most of whom chose to follow, wanting to know what exactly was happening.
Such a procession was clearly out of the ordinary.
The procession finally stopped at the Li Family’s gate.
Li Yuanfei, knowing the commotion outside, had come to the gate in advance, and just happened to see Qin Yichen step out of the most luxurious carriage in the middle. His eyes immediately lit up.
Now, Qin Yichen’s status was different. In fact, in the entire Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty, there was no one who could compare to him.
“Uncle Li!” What surprised Li Yuanfei greatly was that Qin Yichen’s attitude towards him had not changed at all, still treating him as his Elder.
“Good, good, come in, let’s talk inside.” The smile on Li Yuanfei’s face naturally grew even broader as he welcomed Qin Yichen in.
Soon after, Lin Huarong and Ye Hongyun, having heard the news, also rushed to the Li Family.
Meeting again naturally led to sighs of emotion.
Although Qin Yichen was now in the limelight, they knew how hard-won this was.
First, Qin Yichen had no background and went to the Royal City alone, which itself was an extremely risky thing to do. If the Du Family had found out, he might have been killed.
The murky waters of the Royal City were not something ordinary people dared to wade into.
