I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

No!

You're so useless!

Su Chen was useless, and Fang Yuan was even more useless.

In the end, it was still the seventh prince who had to take action!

What do you mean by "using it for military expenses"? It's just a bluff.

He really didn't know how Wei Hongying, that silly girl, could be fooled by Qin Li.

Not only were they intimidated, but they are now even speaking up for Qin Li.

Based on his understanding of Qin Li, most of these dragon veins would end up in Qin Li's personal pocket, and it would be considered a stroke of good fortune if even a small portion were used for military expenses.

Therefore, it's pointless not to identify dragon veins!

Thinking of this, Qin Feng stepped forward, ready to compete with Qin Li and take away a portion of the dragon vein no matter what.

Even assuming he was the first to discover the dragon vein, shouldn't he get a share?

Before he could even speak, he saw Qin Li, who had been leaning back on the dragon throne, suddenly stand up, walk quickly down the steps, and come to him.

Qin Feng looked puzzled and subconsciously took a step back to create a safe distance.

"Huh? What are you trying to do?"

Wei Hongying also looked puzzled, and then she saw Qin Li hugging Qin Feng very warmly. "Seventh brother, you're still alive! I thought I would never see you again in this life. The Jiuyi Mountains are extremely dangerous. It's so good that you're still alive."

"Thank you for your concern, brother."

Qin Feng appeared completely calm.

In his heart, however, he had already cursed Qin Li's ancestors for eighteen generations.

Nima!

It's that same trick again.

What a great actress!

No wonder you, Qin Li, are the eldest prince.

I'm sorry to disappoint you that I'm not dead.

You probably wish I, Qin Feng, would die in the Jiuyi Mountains.

"Um!"

Seeing this, Wei Hongying nodded emphatically, understanding what was happening.

The eldest prince, Qin Li, has always been this kind of person, always loving and protecting his younger brother.

Thinking of this, Wei Hongying walked over to the two brothers who were embracing each other.

As soon as she arrived, she saw Qin Feng reluctantly push Qin Li away, almost knocking him to the ground.

Wei Hongying quickly reached out to support Qin Li, angrily asking Qin Feng, "Qin Feng, what are you doing! The First Prince is your own brother, how can you push your own brother like this?"

If he treats his own elder brother like this, Wei Hongying can't imagine how Qin Feng would treat her family if she married him. He would definitely treat her like dirt and beat her in front of her.

"Hongying, you've misunderstood."

Qin Feng quickly tried to step forward to explain.

Qin Li was faking it from beginning to end!

Not only did she pretend to be a close brother to him, she also pretended to be weak!

Just now, Qin Li killed Su Chen in one move, how could he be knocked to the ground with a gentle push?

Qin Li did it on purpose, deliberately trying to gain her sympathy.

"You don't need to explain anything!"

Wei Hongying has sharp eyes; she only believes what she sees with her own eyes.

She laughed in anger, pointing at Qin Feng and saying, "The Crown Prince is so good to you, not only forgiving past grievances but also sending you into the mountains to temper your character, hoping you will become successful. You are not only ungrateful but also push the Crown Prince away."

"You're an ungrateful wretch, repaying kindness with enmity! You're completely unworthy to be my fiancé, Wei Hongying!"

"After the Dragon Vein Conference concludes, I will go to the palace and beg His Majesty to dissolve our engagement!"

From this day forward, we have nothing to do with each other! We're complete strangers!

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng was completely stunned.

He really couldn't understand how Wei Hongying could be so foolish as to believe an outsider rather than him.

First, she ignored his advice and insisted on going to the border with Qin Li to die. Then, while he was confined to his residence, she and Qin Li made public appearances in the capital and were inseparable. Now, she even wants to break off the engagement with him.

Amidst his anger, a deep sense of disappointment surfaced in Qin Feng's eyes.

"Since Miss Wei has made up her mind, then Qin Feng has nothing more to say."

After saying that, Qin Feng turned to leave the underground palace.

"Oh, this!"

Qin Li, standing to the side, was completely stunned, staring at Qin Feng in disbelief, seriously doubting whether there was something wrong with his ears.

So that means you agree to dissolve the engagement?

It's worth noting that, apart from his fiancée Wei Hongying, the protagonist Qin Feng doesn't have anything particularly impressive to offer.

Imagine it...

That useless prince has nothing to offer.

There was only one lonely mansion for the seventh prince, a gift from the emperor.

A small number of guards, as well as several maids and servants.

In the capital city, where noble families are everywhere, they wouldn't even be considered.

Although all the male members of the Wei family died in battle at the border and will gradually decline, even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse. The power and connections that the Wei family has accumulated over the years are exactly what Qin Feng needs.

Without the Wei family's help to get Qin Feng through the difficult early stages, Qin Feng, in the vortex of power struggles in the capital, wouldn't even see the sun next month.

No matter how you look at it, Qin Feng's decision to agree to annul the engagement was unwise!

Is this what they call the protagonist's pride?!

However, Qin Li should be happy.

With their engagement dissolved, Qin Li can be with Wei Hongying openly and legitimately.

But Qin Li couldn't be happy at all, because this meant he couldn't experience the joy of being Cao Cao's traitor.

So Qin Li quickly stepped forward to stop Qin Feng, "Seventh brother, your wife was just joking with you, why did you take it seriously?"

"Get out of here!"

Qin Feng's calm voice rang out, yet it carried a chilling aura.

Wei Hongying's desire to break off their engagement was none other than Qin Li's doing.

Now you're pretending to stop him again, are you trying to see him make an even bigger fool of himself?

Qin Feng's patience has its limits!

Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone him. If pushed to the limit, he wouldn't hesitate to die together with Qin Li!

"Qin Feng, how dare you speak to the First Prince like that!"

"Get out of here? I think you're the one who should be getting out of here!"

Wei Hongying snorted coldly, really wanting to teach Qin Feng a lesson.

Qin Feng has no skills whatsoever, but he has quite a temper.

It's only because the eldest prince has a good temper; if it were her, she would have slapped him long ago.

She will show Qin Feng what bloodline suppression really means!

Qin Feng didn't speak, but turned around and stared at Wei Hongying, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

In the end, he didn't say a word and turned to leave the underground palace.

"Seventh brother, don't go!"

"We are half-brothers, so why can't we sit down and talk things out? Tell me what you did wrong, and I will definitely change."

Qin Li shouted at the top of his lungs, "Deep brotherly affection!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present wore very strange expressions.

In everyone's perception, the eldest prince Qin Li was ruthless and vicious, and he had no regard for his brothers. He wished he could kill all his younger brothers one by one.

But now, he's talking about brotherhood with Qin Feng, and even said that if there's anything he did wrong, Qin Feng should point it out, and he'll definitely change.

Is this normal?

This is not normal!

Could it be that Qin Feng has caught Qin Li doing something wrong?

How could the useless prince Qin Feng possibly have any leverage over Qin Li?

Then there's only one explanation.

That is, Qin Li genuinely wanted to be a good older brother, but his younger brother Qin Feng didn't appreciate it.

Qin Feng immediately noticed the change in the expressions of the people around him.

That was clearly a look of disdain and contempt.

Qin Feng immediately frowned, feeling inexplicably choked up.

From beginning to end, he did nothing wrong. Qin Li was faking it all. Why is everyone blaming him? Why...?
