Chapter 1053: Chapter 527: Blood Race Unrest

He and Qin Ying had been honest with each other, just not taking the final step.

Yet unexpectedly, she experienced an ancestral bloodline awakening.

It wasn’t easy for the two of them to come together.

"With your talent, and the Chief Eunuch on your side, there should not be any problem."

Qin Hong saw the worry in his heart and spoke to comfort him.

"Moreover, Mother Imperial Concubine is quite pleased with you!"

His words slightly surprised Chen Xuan, "Lin Fei knows about me?"

"Of course."

"Mother Imperial Concubine truly favors Imperial Sister, so certainly, she pays attention to her beloved."

"This time it was especially arranged by Mother Imperial Concubine, so don’t be nervous later."

"I wasn’t nervous, but now that you’ve mentioned it, I’m a bit anxious."

This feeling is quite akin to a son-in-law meeting his mother-in-law.

"Hahaha...."

Seeing him truly a little tense, Qin Hong burst into laughter.

Afterwards, the two began to chat leisurely.

The atmosphere in the grand hall improved considerably.

"By the way, there’s one thing to discuss with you."

After so much groundwork, it’s finally time to get to the main topic.

Chen Xuan looked at him curiously, wondering what matter was hidden behind all this preamble.

"Duke Qin knows our relationship is quite good, so he asked me to relay a message if you could visit the Stone Race and Tree-man Race."

"It’s not my intention; I’m merely a messenger."

"Your choice has nothing to do with me!"

Qin Hong feared a misunderstanding and quickly explained.

To be honest, he didn’t want to be the messenger, but since Duke Qin spoke, he couldn’t refuse.

"Alright!"

Chen Xuan nodded, his expression unchanged.

He understood this about Qin Hong.

"Then also relay a message for me, if the Chief Eunuch agrees, I will go!"

"Alright!"

Qin Hong nodded happily, he is just a messenger, it does not matter to him.

"Indeed, it’s too dangerous."

"Several groups have already perished."

"Moreover, all were top experts."

If he were Chen Xuan, he would make the same choice because some time ago, Duke Qin sent people into the two races, but they vanished, not returning.

There’s no guessing needed; they must be gone.

Now sending Chen Xuan, in his view, is akin to sending him to his death!

"Hehe, Duke Qin must certainly think highly of me."

Chen Xuan sneered lightly.

Yet Qin Hong’s expression became tense; what a nerve to dare mock Duke Qin, and all in his presence.

"It seems it’s not just rumors, Liu Sheng is bound to have him take over the Ritual Department."

"Sigh!"

"A future giant of Great Yu!"

He sighed inwardly; if he could occupy that position, that would be well and good; if not, his future standing in Great Yu would be inferior to his.

"Also, there’s a private matter I’d like to ask of you."

Qin Hong used the word ’ask.’

Though somewhat harming a prince’s dignity, in the face of power, he was helpless.

"If it’s related to the Burial Ground, I think there’s no need."

Chen Xuan said lightly.

Qin Hong thought he might refuse, but his following words brought great joy.

"As long as it doesn’t involve principles, I will act!"

Moreover, even if he does not act, Qin Ying will not ignore it, as he is her own brother.

"Thank you very much!"

That was the true reason Qin Hong invited Chen Xuan today, to seek a promise.

This time, the Burial Ground is extremely perilous, and her power is not as strong as Qin Tiandao.

"You know, though my power is adequate, it’s still far lesser than Eldest Imperial Brother and the others!"

But when Chen Xuan heard this, his brows slightly raised.

Could it be that those princes are unaware of the fact that the prodigies from various continents are coming to the Eastern Continent?

"What’s wrong?"

Qin Hong noticed his strange expression and immediately asked.

"It’s nothing, just ask Qin Ying later."

He thought about it and decided it was best not to speak out about such matters, as none of the princes were aware, but he was.

"You don’t...."

"Your Highness!"

At that moment, a clear voice came through, Qin Hong immediately stopped and looked towards the outside of the grand hall.

"Enter!"

Moments later, a red-dressed maid entered, paid respects, and said, "Your Highness, Lin Fei has arrived and is on her way here!"

"Mother Imperial Concubine has arrived."

Qin Hong quickly rose, looked at Chen Xuan, "Brother Xuan, together!"

"Alright!"

The two hurriedly exited the grand hall, and upon reaching the outermost corridor of the Fourth Prince’s Mansion, Chen Xuan finally saw Qin Ying’s birth mother, Lin Fei.

In a water-blue long dress, draped with a rosy thin gauze cape, eyes like dark jade, skin fairer than snow, delicate like congealed sheep milk, emitting a gentle glow.

Wearing only a pair of pearl earrings, minimal! But perfectly appropriate.

At this moment, she gracefully walked over! Followed by two maids.

"Simple!"

This was the feeling Lin Fei gave to Chen Xuan.

But as he looked at her, Chen Xuan felt a peace washing over his heart.

Qin Hong hurried forward in three steps and knelt before Lin Fei, "Greetings, Mother Imperial Concubine!"

Chen Xuan also immediately bent forward in salute, "Greetings, Lin Fei!"

"Rise!"

She extended a hand to help Qin Hong up, then her gaze fell on Chen Xuan, "Very good, Ying’Er has excellent taste!"

Lin Fei’s voice fell on Chen Xuan’s ears like a breath of spring.

With a smile, he respectfully replied, "Thank you for the compliment, Lin Fei."

"No need to be formal, today is merely a casual meeting with you."

"Yes!"

Then Lin Fei looked at Qin Hong, "Have you prepared everything, son?"

"Everything is ready, please!"

"Hmm!"

Lin Fei smiled and nodded, "Let’s go!"

...

Banquet!

Qin Hong had prepared all of Lin Fei’s favorite dishes today.

Regarding her son, she was incredibly satisfied.
