I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

in the crowd.

Su Chen mingled among them with a group of veterans.

An old soldier, his face grave, clasped his hands and said, “Young Master, the Nine Peaks Mountains are extremely dangerous, with a nine-out-of-ten chance of death. Why should we take such a risk? You are the only remaining heir of our Marquis’s mansion. If anything were to happen to you, how could we face the spirit of the old Marquis in heaven?”

"Please reconsider, Your Highness!"

The other veterans clasped their hands in agreement, thinking that Su Chen was just fooling around.

They knew perfectly well what kind of person their young master was. Su Chen was a spoiled brat, good at eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring. If he went into the mountains to search for treasure, he would probably make a scene and cry for his parents if he even scraped his finger.

Su Chen curled his lips, indicating that he was no longer the Su Chen of the past. He was still pretending to be a playboy now, just to deceive the world. When the time was right, he would soar to the sky and amaze the world!

As for why he wanted to go into the mountains, firstly, he wanted to find the dragon vein and revitalize the Marquis's mansion, given such a good opportunity; secondly, he had learned that the Seventh Prince, Qin Feng, would also be going into the mountains this time.

Qin Feng not only won his money at Tianxiang Tower, but also picked up girls. How could he tolerate that?

In the mountains, he was determined to teach Qin Feng a lesson.

Just as he was thinking this, the commotion at the mountain gate reached his ears.

Upon hearing that it would cost 10,000 taels of silver per person to enter the mountain, Su Chen exclaimed that the organizers were even more shameless than him, and were simply outrageous.

With so many of them, it would cost at least tens of thousands of taels of silver to get them all into the mountains.

Even after accounting for all the money I won from those rich kids in the past few days, it's still not enough; I still have to put some of my own money into it.

How can this be allowed?

After thinking for a moment, Su Chen beckoned the old soldier to come closer to him and began to whisper among himself...

……

the other side.

Fang Yuan also mingled in the crowd. He didn't bring many people with him, only two twin maids, Chun Tao and Xia Liu. They were top assassins from Tianyi Tower, highly skilled in martial arts, and only obeyed him.

On the surface, he was the son-in-law of the Song family, but in reality, he was the master of Tianyi Tower, and his reputation in the martial arts world was quite renowned.

His current achievements are the result of his hard work over the past few years, but unfortunately, he has never been able to win the smile of his beloved Song Qian.

When he first came into this world, he almost starved to death. It was Song Qian who happened to pass by and gave him a piece of bread, which saved his life.

Song Qian is her savior, her white moonlight!

But he doesn't know where he went wrong or what he did poorly over the years.

Song Qian loved poetry, so he wrote poems, filling an entire book.

He thought he could win the heart of a beauty and live a carefree, blissful life.

But after Song Qian read the poem, a series of questions left him speechless. Not only did he not win the heart of the beauty, but Song Qian hadn't spoken to him for two years.

Although they lived under the same roof and were husband and wife, they were like strangers.

"Master, the Dragon Vein Conference is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our Tianyi Tower. If we can find the Dragon Vein, our Tianyi Tower will surely be able to join the ranks of the top sects in the martial arts world," the two maids said excitedly.

They couldn't wait to join Fang Yuan in making a big splash.

Fang Yuan nodded and said to the two, "We not only need to find the dragon vein, but we also need to teach the Seventh Prince Qin Feng a lesson!"

"I heard he had a very pleasant conversation with your mistress at Tianxiang Tower. He dares to touch my woman? He's practically courting death!"

"Um."

……

"Ah Qiu! Ah Qiu! Ah Qiu!"

On the other side, in the crowd, Qin Feng suddenly sneezed several times without warning.

I saw tiny stars spinning around in front of my eyes, and I felt dizzy and my vision blurred.

Several guards rushed forward, asking with concern, "Your Highness, what's wrong? Are you alright?"

"fine."

Qin Feng waved his hand, telling the guards not to make a fuss.

He's been sneezing a lot these past few days, but he's gotten used to it.

He rubbed his nose and looked at the dense crowd in front of him, feeling immense pressure.

With so many people going into the mountains together, he might not be the first to find the dragon vein.

He was already very happy to be able to go into the mountains.

All of this is thanks to that villainous idiot, the eldest prince Qin Li.

He was originally confined to his residence and was not allowed to leave without the Emperor Xuan's decree.

For some unknown reason, Qin Li went mad and wrote to Emperor Xuan, saying that the princes should not only indulge in pleasure, but should also be tempered and disciplined.

Therefore, despite being confined to his residence, he was allowed, as an exception, to go into the mountains to search for treasure, just like the other princes.

"Where's Hongying?"

Qin Feng asked.

Before he came, he sent a guard to the Wei residence to invite Wei Hongying.

This time, he'll show Wei Hongying his true abilities; he's not a useless prince.

He was determined to make Wei Hongying fall in love with him and become inseparable from him.

"Miss Wei hasn't been home for several days. We don't know where she's gone," a guard replied, clasping his hands in greeting.

"Oh, I see."

Qin Feng looked somewhat disappointed.

But it doesn't matter, once he goes into the mountains and finds the dragon vein, the result will be the same.

……

Jiuyi Mountain.

On a huge rock with an excellent view.

From here, you can see a dense crowd at the foot of the mountain, but the crowd can hardly spot this place.

Qin Li took in every move of the three main characters in the crowd, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Qin Li's eyes were blood red, the effect of using the Blood Eye Technique.

"There are quite a few people here."

Upon hearing the sound, Qin Li blinked, and the blood-red color in his eyes disappeared.

Qin Li was lying on a rattan chair, with a sunshade umbrella above his head. He held a bamboo cup filled with cool mountain spring water and squeezed in some juice from wild mountain fruits. The taste was incredibly refreshing.

Beside him were a small rattan chair, a small parasol, and equally small bamboo tube drinks.

The red-striped serpent lay lazily coiled on the rattan chair, being attentively served by several burly men in black.

Sometimes they feel that they are living worse than an animal.

The forked forked tongue of the snake extended, licked a few mouthfuls of the mountain spring water, then the red-banded spirit snake stretched out a big yawn, and went back to sleep.

"This must be the legendary most venomous creature in the world, the Red-banded Serpent."

With her courage roused, Wei Hongying extended her slender, white finger and gently tapped the little snake's head.

If bitten by this thing, even a celestial being couldn't save you.

The red-striped serpent snuggled comfortably and continued to snore.

While drinking his beverage from the bamboo tube, Qin Li said, "What Red-Striped Spirit Serpent? Its name is Little Red! This is the name I just gave it."

I thought that the Crimson Serpent would be very uncomfortable leaving the Snake Elder, and might even do things to harm him, its second master.

But no, Qin Li discovered that the Crimson Serpent knew how to enjoy life; it was practically a complete couch potato.

After saying that, Qin Li couldn't help but glance at Wei Hongying.

Leather armor and skirt accentuate a perfect figure, wow!

The long whip at her waist is practically an invitation to commit a crime.

That day, Wei Hongying took the initiative to come to his door, and he thought his second brother was in luck.

Little did he know that Wei Hongying had only come to thank him, saying that after Qin Li left, Madam Wei and her sisters-in-law's attitudes had changed drastically, and they told her to be herself.

Then Wei Hongying didn't go home for several days, spending all her time in Jiuyi Mountain helping Qin Li organize the Dragon Vein Conference.

Wei Hongying deserves the most credit for the successful convening of today's Dragon Vein Conference!

"Little Red? What kind of name is that...?"

Before he could finish speaking, a commotion suddenly broke out at the foot of the mountain, and the two sides almost came to blows. It seemed that someone thought the ticket price of 10,000 taels was too expensive and led the disturbance to force their way into the mountain gate.

Wei Hongying's fiery temper flared up instantly. She had single-handedly organized the Dragon Vein Conference, which was like her own child.

How could she tolerate anyone daring to harm her child?! She'd twist their heads off!

Snapped!

She casually took the long whip from her waist, cracking it with a crisp sound, and Wei Hongying, her brows furrowed, shouted:

"They've got some nerve!"

"This old lady is going to go and see who dares to cause trouble at the Dragon Vein Conference!"

After saying that, Wei Hongying was about to rush down the mountain.

Qin Li quickly stretched out his arm to stop her.

She said she hadn't slept for days because of the Dragon Vein Conference, so she should lie down and rest, and enjoy herself. Zhou Biao would take care of it.

With her gentle, deep voice and kind face, Wei Hongying quickly hid the long whip behind her back; she didn't want Qin Li to think she had a bad temper.

"We'll do as you say, Your Highness..."
