”Young Master, about this matter...”

The guard glanced around, lowered his voice, and said to Murong Ao, ”Just now, the Family Head and General Su Xinlie got into a heated argument in the living room. You know the Family Head’s temper; he never backs down. They almost came to blows, but after calming down, they both withdrew their True Qi.”

”They almost fought?”

Murong Ao was taken aback and asked, ”What exactly were they discussing?”

Murong Ao found it unbelievable. He thought to himself that his uncle had already decided to support the Ninth Prince, and General Su Xinlie was one of the Ninth Prince’s most reliant allies. For his uncle to quarrel with him, something major must have happened.

The guard spoke cautiously, glanced around again, and said, ”Young Master, I’m only telling you this, so please don’t spread it. I was on duty outside the door and overheard vaguely that it was General Su Xinlie who brought the Ninth Prince’s proposal to marry Miss Murong Fei as an Imperial Concubine, but the Family Head refused.”

”My uncle refused?”

Upon hearing this, Murong Ao found it even more astonishing.

The guard said, ”I don’t know the exact situation either, but I heard the Family Head say that the Ninth Prince already has three Imperial Concubines and that Miss Murong Fei could not be the main wife, so he would never agree.”

After speaking, the guard felt he had said too much and repeatedly reminded Murong Ao, ”Young Master, please don’t spread this, or I’m finished.”

Murong Ao nodded, casually handed the guard two High Grade Spirit Stones, and said, ”Don’t worry, I don’t have the habit of betraying people.”

After the guards left, Murong Ao turned to Qin Tian and said, ”Lord Qin, don’t you find this strange? My uncle has been worried about finding a husband for Fei’er, afraid she wouldn’t find one.”

”Now, the Ninth Prince wants to marry Fei’er, and my uncle actually disagrees. This is directly rejecting the Ninth Prince, and the consequences could be severe.”

Qin Tian nodded and looked back at Murong Fei, who had a complex expression and remained silent.

In fact, through this matter, Qin Tian could also see that although Murong Tiannan was a stubborn old man, he was a person who firmly adhered to principles.

Just like how he didn’t agree to Qin Tian marrying Murong Fei before, he did not give an inch.

Regarding the Ninth Prince, it’s evident Murong Tiannan felt he wouldn’t treat Murong Fei well, so, regardless of the Ninth Prince’s status, he outright refused.

”Someone’s coming out of the living room!”

Murong Ao saw the living room door open and quickly hid to the side with Qin Tian.

The three of them watched as Su Xinlie stormed out of the living room. It was clear he hadn’t expected Murong Tiannan to dare to refuse.

Walking into the courtyard, he turned back, furiously threatening Murong Tiannan, ”General Murong, think carefully about what you’re doing! Do you know the consequences of refusal? Do you not consider your Murong Family!”

”Hmph, I have thought it through, this matter is impossible! Do not bring it up again! If the Ninth Prince insists, then I can only express my regret!”

”Hmph, it’s more than just regret! General Murong, I’ll give you a day to reconsider, think clearly. If you still refuse tomorrow, I will report this matter to the Ninth Prince exactly as it is, and by then, things will be irreversible. You won’t be able to withstand the Ninth Prince’s wrath! Farewell!”

”Safe travels, not seeing you off!”

Su Xinlie stormed off, and Murong Tiannan, still in the living room, was clearly furious. By his character, the fact that he didn’t explode after being threatened shows he’s enduring, enduring greatly.

”I really didn’t expect my uncle to refuse... Heh, I really don’t know what he’s thinking...”

After Su Xinlie left, Murong Ao came to his senses, shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed, ”Alas, now our Murong Family is in big trouble, sigh...”

While sighing, Murong Ao glanced at Qin Tian and Murong Fei and suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he said, ”I understand now, Lord Qin, did you know about this matter in advance and came to take Fei’er away?”

Qin Tian gave a slight smile, neither confirming nor denying it.

Murong Fei also lowered her head, seemingly having something on her mind.

Seeing Qin Tian and Murong Fei both not speaking, Murong Ao smirked wryly, ”Alright, consider me talkative, let’s go. Now is a time of unrest; Fei’er going with you is good.”

Saying this, Murong Ao started to walk forward, but at this moment, Qin Tian and Murong Fei did not move.

”Qin Tian, I...”

Murong Fei hesitated to speak.

Qin Tian turned to look at her, nodding, ”I know what you want to say, I’m also thinking about how to handle this matter, as for the Murong Family, don’t worry, I won’t stand by and watch.”

Murong Fei nodded gratefully.

Beside them, Murong Ao was also extremely excited, ”Thank you, Lord Qin. I’ve always said that the Ninth Prince is capricious and hard to serve, but my uncle didn’t believe me, see now...”

Qin Tian nodded, thought for a moment, and said, ”Here’s what we’ll do, Murong, you stay here but be cautious about your safety and maintain contact with me at all times.”

Qin Tian looked at Murong Ao and said, ”You too, this is a crucial moment for your Murong Family’s survival. If there are any sudden moves, you must inform me immediately, otherwise, the consequences will be dire.”

Murong Ao’s expression became serious, and he nodded, ”I know what to do. Recently, I’ve recruited a large number of scouts; I’ll use them to collect information at all times.”

”Good,” Qin Tian said, looking at Murong Fei, ”I think, Old Master Murong must be in distress now. You could find a chance to console him. I need to make some arrangements; I’ll be leaving now. Let’s keep in touch.”

Feeling the matter was extremely urgent, Qin Tian left Murong Mansion and immediately wrote a letter to Xiao Zhuang, instructing him to fully activate the scout system arranged in the Imperial City, arranging for a designated person to connect with Qin Tian directly and gather any information regarding the Murong Family and the Ninth Prince.

At the same time, Qin Tian also reminded Xu Kuan and Zhou Yang in the letter to assemble troops, preparing to advance towards the Imperial City at any time. Of course, Qin Tian wasn’t asking them to attack the Imperial City directly but to make force deployments leaning towards the Imperial City, subtly pressuring the Ninth Prince and the Ice Emperor.

A day later, Qin Tian received news that Murong Tiannan had not gone to the Ninth Prince’s Yitian Palace, meaning Murong Tiannan chose to directly refuse the Ninth Prince, opting for a head-on confrontation!

The Murong Family instantly became exceedingly perilous!

And currently, Qin Tian’s power in the Imperial City was limited; if the Ninth Prince heavily targeted the Murong Family, he felt powerless to help.

Therefore, after some thought, Qin Tian decided to visit the Fourth Prince.

At this point, perhaps only the Fourth Prince could save the Murong Family.

But, will he agree to help?
