My Wife is A Sword God - Chapter 571: Brother, don't make trouble
The last time he visited the palace at night to rescue Anya, he was in a hurry and didn’t have much time to look around.
At this moment, the daylight was bright, and he was not in a hurry. He looked around carefully and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, ‘The royal family is indeed rich and powerful. One palace alone is enough to rival the entire Qin Mansion.’
After waiting for a while, the maid who had left returned, bowed slightly and said softly, “Young Master Qin, Her Highness requests your presence.”
He followed her deeper into the palace, along the corridors, past the flower gardens, listening to the murmur of the lake.
Willow catkins fluttered down, creating a sparkling scene on the water. Anya, dressed in a bright red silk dress, stood quietly by the lake’s pavilion, gazing at the surface.
The Emperor is the ruler of a country, and the women he marries are naturally all exceptionally beautiful.
As the daughter of the Empress, Anya’s features were very similar to the beautiful and dignified Empress, with perhaps a seven or eight point resemblance.
If there was a difference, it was that she was two points less in maturity and one point more in beauty.
Even though his impression of Anya was mostly that of an arrogant scholar disguised as a man, Qin Feng had to admit that she was an extremely outstanding beauty.
As his gaze was slightly lowered by the reflection of the waves, Qin Feng couldn’t help but sigh.
It’s just that she hadn’t inherited her mother’s bloodline very well in one respect.
If they were to have children in the future, wouldn’t it be difficult for them?
“She shouldn’t be called Anya, she should be called Taiping…” Qin Feng muttered to himself.
As the footsteps approached, Anya, who had been deliberately trying not to look, straightened her waist and raised her chest subconsciously, although it was of little use.
“Your Highness, Mr Qin has arrived,” The maid said softly.
“I am aware of that. You may go,”
The maid bowed and left, leaving only the two of them in the lake pavilion. Anya turned around and looked over, hiding the joy in her eyes, and said lightly, “What wind blew Mr Qin here?”
“I thought Mr Qin was busier than His Majesty and had so many things to do that he didn’t even remember me as a friend.”
Qin Feng’s expression stiffened. “Can you speak properly?”
Seeing his expression as if he had eaten a fly, Anya raised the corner of her mouth slightly, but quickly restrained it.
She was in a good mood, and her speech returned to her usual tone, “Speak, what made you come to see me?”
A normal man would naturally say some flattering words here to win a woman’s favour. But Qin Feng had always treated Anya as a close friend without considering any romantic relationship, so he wouldn’t think of such things.
He blurted out, “Do you think I wanted to come?”
As soon as the words were spoken, Anya’s eyelids twitched and her fists clenched beneath her wide sleeves.
Although there was still a dignified smile on her face, the teeth in her mouth felt a bit overloaded.
Of course, Qin Feng didn’t notice his slip of the tongue and continued to explain the reason, “It’s because of… um, mainly His Majesty. He entrusted me with something.”
After his explanation, Anya understood the situation and couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows slightly.
Father Emperor, how dare you make decisions on your own and send him to guide my practice in the Literature Saint Dao Lineage? I started earlier than him. If I still need him to teach me, wouldn’t it be a joke for everyone?
This was something she, with her proud temperament, would never tolerate.
Coupled with what the other party said just now, Anya, who was still angry, said in a hostile tone, “No need, I’m just too busy with trivial matters to focus on my practice.”
“How else could my progress be slower than yours? You don’t need to pay attention to what Father Emperor said. I will explain it to him later.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng immediately heaved a sigh of relief, as if a weight had been lifted from his shoulders.
When Anya saw it, an unknown fire ignited in her heart.
And then Qin Feng’s next words made her grit her teeth even more.
“Great, I was worried that you wanted me to come and guide your cultivation in my spare time. How can I have that spare time?”
“Besides, if my two wives found out that I was spending time with you, it wouldn’t be something I could explain in just a few words.”
Qin Feng glanced at the sky, then smiled, “It’s getting late, so I’ll say goodbye. The next time I have some free time, I’ll invite you to the Moonlit Pavilion for a drink.”
With that, he was about to say goodbye and leave.
Unexpectedly, Anya said coldly, “Father Emperor arranged for you to come and inspect my shortcomings in cultivation and guide my progress, yet you’re leaving like this. Are you planning to commit the crime of deceiving the Emperor?”
“Huh?” Qin Feng was stunned and said in surprise: “But didn’t you just say…”
Anya interrupted directly, “What was just said is exactly that, but the situation has changed now.”
“I suddenly understood. You are indeed an exceptional talent in the Literature Saint Of Dao Lineage. Even though you started later, you have already surpassed Senior Fei Xun and are even on par with Senior Yang Qian.”
“Moreover, after reaching the fourth level you attracted the Heavenly Tribulation. Throughout history, there have only been a few who have achieved such a feat.”
The changes were so fast that Qin Feng couldn’t react for a while. After a while, he smiled and said, “Brother, don’t tease me!”
Brother… Anya’s eyes twitched in anger. She immediately replied coldly, “Master Qin, mind your address. Regardless of anything else, I am still a princess of the current dynasty!”
Was this woman on her monthly cycle? Why did she suddenly seem so angry, as if she had ingested gunpowder?
Regardless of the reason, Qin Feng could tell that she seemed genuinely angry.
“So, Your Highness, when would you like me to guide your cultivation?” Qin Feng deliberately addressed her as ‘Your Highness’.
Anya sneered, “Right now, right away! I have just entered the sixth level of the Fate Divination Realm. You will teach me the Three Thousand Qi Observation Technique.”
“Anyway, Mr Qin once said that if you can master something as simple as the Three Thousand Qi Observation Technique in a single attempt, it should be easy to teach. What does Master Qin think?”
No matter how cruel you are… Qin Feng gritted his teeth and said, “As you wish, Your Highness.”
Time passed quickly, but Anya still couldn’t grasp the essence.
The art of the Three Thousand Qi Observation Technique was effortless for Qin Feng.
That’s because his eyes contained Primordial Qi, making him exceptional from the very beginning.
But even with Anya’s extraordinary talent, how could she understand it in such a short time?
An hour and a half passed, and even though Qin Feng kept explaining the basics, Anya still couldn’t grasp the essence of it.
Qin Feng became worried and scratched his head. If this continued, it would soon be dark!
‘I thought her progress was slow because she was bogged down by the trivialities of the Gathering Treasure Pavilion, but I didn’t expect it to be because she’s just too stupid.’
‘How can something so simple be so hard for her to understand?’
‘The so-called Three Thousand Qi Observation Technique is nothing more than stirring your internal qi, pulling the Destiny Star from the sky, and observing the qi through your open eyes, isn’t it?’
After another round of instruction, Anya attempted to perform the Three Thousand Qi Observation Technique.
Qin Feng asked with anticipation, “How is it, Your Highness? Can you see the qi in me?”
Anya opened her eyes, her beautiful gaze falling on him, her tone indifferent, “I only see resentment, nothing else.”
Qin Feng’s face stiffened at her words, “Your Highness is joking. It’s my good fortune to be able to teach you. How could there be any resentment? But since it’s come to this, I guess this is the only move I can make. Your Highness, please raise your hand.”
Anya didn’t understand his intentions, but she obeyed anyway.
Then her eyes widened as Qin Feng unexpectedly pressed his palm against hers, their palms touching!
“Your Highness, I am going to inject a stream of Righteous Qi into your body. Pay close attention, and you might benefit from it.”
Anya lowered her head slightly, hiding the faint blush on her cheeks.
There was a soft, barely audible sound under her nose, like a mosquito.
“Mm.”
