Chapter 2616 The Wang Family Head's Invitation
“I mainly went to war with the Liu family for your master’s sake. This matter has little to do with you, so you shouldn’t ask me about these things.” Liang Xia waved her hand, still unwilling to discuss the matter in depth.
“Even if you went to war with the Liu family because of my master, everything has a cause and effect. If it weren’t for me, I don’t think your Divine Martial Sect would have gone to war with the Liu family. So you should tell me some specific details. Otherwise, if this matter cannot be resolved, it may become a demon in my heart!”
Seeing that Qin Fei had made the matter sound so serious, Liang Xia considered it for a moment, and finally took a deep breath before saying, "Since you are so eager to know the inside story, I just received a list from below. Take a look at it yourself."
As they spoke, Liang Xia handed Qin Fei a booklet, which contained records of the battle losses suffered by their Divine Martial Sect in this battle.
Although what is written above is not the most complete, it can certainly give you a general idea of the situation.
As Qin Fei's gaze swept across the booklet, his mood instantly became heavy.
Because he actually saw that the record showed that the Divine Martial Sect had lost nearly seven thousand men in this battle...
It's important to understand that the entire Divine Martial Sect only has about 30,000 to 40,000 disciples. Losing 7,000 at once is like slashing a vital artery.
If the God of Wine hadn't arrived in time at the last moment, their Divine Martial Sect might have suffered even greater losses.
The booklet was as light as a feather, but at this moment Qin Fei felt as heavy as a thousand pounds in his hand.
So many people died because of him; this bloody number naturally weighed heavily on Qin Fei's mind.
"See? I told you it would have been better not to watch it at all." Seeing the change in Qin Fei's expression, Liang Xia couldn't help but say.
"Seniors, it's my fault that you've all been harmed..." Qin Fei said, bowing his head.
"Kid, you can't say that. Saving you was the choice of all of us. You just said that everything has a cause and effect. If it weren't for Senior Wine God's help, our Divine Martial Sect wouldn't be where we are today. So don't take it to heart. Just consider it as our Divine Martial Sect training together."
On the surface, their Divine Martial Sect did suffer heavy losses this time, but from another perspective, their losses were still within a controllable range.
Since most of these dead people were those with poor combat skills or poor basic conditions, the Liu family killing them was essentially helping the Divine Martial Sect to weed out the weak.
As the saying goes, it's not about the quantity of soldiers, but their quality. Even if their Divine Martial Sect suddenly loses several thousand people, their overall strength will not necessarily be weakened much. Therefore, this matter is not as unacceptable as imagined.
"Also, we will provide generous compensation to the families of those who died in battle, so you don't need to worry about these aftermath issues. We will not let these people shed their blood in vain."
"I still have some cultivation supplies here. You can take them and distribute them to those people." As he spoke, Qin Fei took out a spatial ring, one of the two spatial rings that the God of Wine had given him earlier.
"Didn't I already say that?"
“Our Divine Martial Sect has already distributed the compensation to the families of these deceased, so you don’t need to do anything extra,” Liang Xia said.
"But if I do nothing, I really can't get over this mental hurdle," Qin Fei said, shaking his head.
“Since you feel you need to do something for our sect to alleviate your guilt, then I do have something I need you to do. I wonder if you would like to hear about it?” Liang Xia suddenly asked in a low voice.
"What's the matter?" Qin Fei subconsciously looked at Liang Xia.
"Aren't you asking knowingly?"
"It's about the marriage between you and my apprentice Jing Mo," Liang Xia said, patting Qin Fei on the shoulder.
Qin Fei: "......"
He never dreamed that Liang Xia would bring up this matter again. His disciple Jing Mo was not only outstanding in appearance and figure, but more importantly, her cultivation talent was also very impressive. Judging from Liang Xia's expression, it seemed that he was worried that Jing Mo would not be able to get married.
"Senior, to be honest, I already have a group of Daoist partners, and I don't want to add any more people," Qin Fei said after thinking for a moment.
"What's the big deal? Isn't it perfectly normal for an outstanding man to have three wives and four concubines?"
"Moreover, once you reach a certain level, appearance is not as important as you might imagine. In the end, people look at social status and one's own abilities."
Liang Xia was right, because no matter the era, a vase is always just a vase; it can never be truly presentable.
Just like those business tycoons in the secular world, the general requirement for choosing a partner is that they can be of help to oneself. No matter how beautiful a woman is, she will eventually grow old.
However, their social status and power will not be significantly diminished.
Moreover, Liang Xia was confident that with her disciple's abilities, if she really became Qin Fei's Daoist partner, all of Qin Fei's previous women would have to step aside.
Of course, more importantly, Liang Xia wanted to use Jing Mo and Qin Fei's marriage to further strengthen his relationship with the God of Wine.
"Senior, that may be true, but it's best to let things take their natural course. You can't force things to be sweet. I think you know what that means."
"Anyway, I have tried to connect you with them many times. As for whether it will work out in the end, that depends on you."
Liang Xia's main approach now is to whisper in Qin Fei's ear that if things go well between the two of them, that would be great. Even if they don't, at least he'll have tried and won't have any regrets.
"call……."
Hearing this, Qin Fei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He was genuinely afraid that Liang Xia would use this immense favor as leverage. If Liang Xia were to use this matter to pressure him, given Qin Fei's personality, he would most likely agree, not for any other reason than to repay the debt of gratitude.
Fortunately, Liang Xia didn't do that, otherwise Qin Fei would have been in a real predicament.
"Sect Leader Liang, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
"Go."
Liang Xia has a lot on his plate right now. First of all, there's the post-war reconstruction and the redistribution of resources. Being the head of a sect isn't easy. Before Qin Fei and the strong man arrived, he was so busy that he barely had time to catch his breath.
After leaving the territory of the Divine Martial Sect, Qin Fei headed straight for the Li family's residence.
The forbidden weapon that Li Yan gave him played a significant role in his survival this time. As the saying goes, one should never forget the well-digger when drinking water. Since he owes someone a favor, he should now thank them in person.
As for being ambushed by others?
To be honest, Qin Fei wasn't afraid at all; he didn't even take the sneak attack from the Tianya Haijiao organization to heart.
The Liu family's attempt to kill him resulted in the extermination of their entire clan, while the Tianya Haijiao organization's power is far inferior to that of the Liu family. As long as the leader of this organization isn't stupid, they will definitely abandon their goal.
Furthermore, the city is teeming with experts, and any member of this assassin organization would likely be targeted the moment they made a move. In addition, his master, the God of Wine, is currently in the city. If anyone dares to mess with him at this time, it can only mean that they have a death wish.
However, no one provoked him, but people came to block his way.
The visitor was the fifth elder of the Wang family, who was also an old acquaintance of Qin Fei.
"Young friend Qin, our patriarch wishes to meet you in person. I wonder if you are available?" Wang Laowu did not hide his purpose and stated it directly.
"What would you do if I said I was busy?" Qin Fei looked up at Wang Laowu and asked.
"No, I'm sure you'll be free."
As he spoke, Wang Laowu flicked his finger, and in an instant, a spatial ring flew directly towards Qin Fei.
Qin Fei grabbed the spatial ring and scanned it, a smile involuntarily appearing on his face.
"I must say, you have a really good eye for people." Qin Fei gave Wang Laowu a thumbs up.
The Wang family is really willing to go to great lengths to see me. There are at least 30,000 spiritual herbs in this spatial ring, and that's all they ask for in exchange for a meeting.
They say you shouldn't let easy money slip by, and Qin Fei had no reason to let these medicinal herbs go.
"Come with me."
Nodding, Qin Fei quickly followed Wang Laowu's pace.
Before long, Qin Fei arrived at the Wang family's residence. As soon as he arrived, he noticed that everyone around him was staring at him, as if he had something on his face.
In the eyes of these people, Qin Fei saw curiosity and admiration, but also fear and dread...
Qin Fei could understand the fear, after all, he had a lot of people backing him now. Even the Liu family had been wiped out, so who outsider wasn't afraid of him?
But what exactly is this fear?
I'm not some walking plague, why would they be afraid of me?
"Why are they looking at me like that?" Qin Fei asked Wang Laowu directly.
"You're in the limelight right now, why do you think they're looking at you so strangely?" Wang Laowu rolled his eyes and asked, "It's like a new bride getting on her wedding day, everyone wants to see the excitement."
"What new bride? Someone like me is just an old, dried-up piece of meat at best," Qin Fei replied, shaking his head.
"Whether you're a new bride or an old hand, you're not someone anyone can mess with now, otherwise our patriarch wouldn't have asked me to come and invite you out specifically."
"Qin Fei!"
Just as Wang Laowu was leading Qin Fei toward their Wang family patriarch, a loud shout suddenly drew Qin Fei's attention.
Looking up, he saw that the speaker was none other than Wang Wei, his former defeated opponent!
This guy was incredibly arrogant before, but unexpectedly, he was only saved by Wang Laowu. Otherwise, even if he hadn't died, he would have been seriously injured.
As the saying goes, enemies are especially hostile when they meet. At this moment, Wang Wei's gaze towards Qin Fei was not quite right, and even his breathing became a little rapid.
Qin Fei had already defeated him before, so he didn't take him seriously anymore.
He acted as if he hadn't noticed Wang Wei's outward behavior, and even greeted him warmly: "Long time no see, I've missed you..."
puff!
Upon hearing Qin Fei's words, Wang Wei immediately broke through one of his defenses.
