I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

"You're leaving already?"

"Seventh Brother, why don't you stay and chat a little longer?"

Qin Li's eyes were full of reluctance, but he did not try to stop him.

He had more important things to do, which was to deal with these dragon veins, so he could only let Qin Feng leave.

However, he believed that he and Qin Feng would meet again soon.

"Ladies and gentlemen!"

"Who else, who else dares to challenge this prince?"

"If you win, you take a portion of the dragon vein and live a life of luxury. If you lose, hehehehe..."

Composing himself, Qin Li continued with his work.

"Holy crap, I've been scammed..."

Fang Yuan was the first to react, exclaiming that the eldest prince, Qin Li, was indeed treacherous and cunning, living up to his reputation.

The exchange of glances between him and Qin Feng just now revealed that after their consecutive defeats, Qin Feng was trying to find a way to divide the dragon vein, as he was their last hope.

Qin Feng agreed, but before he could even mention the dragon vein, Qin Li changed the subject.

Frustrated and annoyed with himself, Qin Feng simply left.

They didn't mention the dragon vein division at all, forgetting the most important thing.

Qin Feng has fallen into his elder brother Qin Li's trap.

"Useless, utterly useless! He truly deserves the title of 'useless prince,' the world has rightly called him that."

After cursing Qin Feng under his breath, Fang Yuan took advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention and slowly retreated behind the group, leaving with his two twin maids.

Right now, Su Chen was defeated by Qin Li in one move, and Qin Feng also fell into Qin Li's trap. As a son-in-law, he had no choice but to leave quickly.

If Qin Liteng takes action, he won't be able to leave even if he wants to.

The three main characters withdrew from the competition to divide the dragon vein one after the other, and the other minor characters were even less able to get a share of the dragon vein from Qin Li, and didn't even dare to challenge him.

Qin Li nodded in satisfaction, then gestured with his hand to announce the successful conclusion of the first Dragon Vein Conference!

Hearing this, the crowd queuing to leave the underground palace couldn't help but twitch their lips, exclaiming that they had been played and used.

Qin Li convened the Dragon Vein Conference without any intention of abiding by the conference rules; he simply wanted them to work for him for free, searching for dragon veins.

Once the dragon vein is found, Qin Li will bring the absolute power of the First Prince's Mansion to crush everyone and put the entire dragon vein into his own pocket!

And these laborers not only worked for nothing for so many days, but each of them also initially lost 10,000 taels of ticket money!

black!

It's so dark.

There is no one in this world more ruthless than Qin Li.

Seeing that everyone had left the underground palace, leaving only the people from the First Prince's residence, they exchanged glances and finally couldn't help but celebrate, casting extremely admiring looks at Qin Li:

"Your Highness is brilliant! Your Highness is brilliant!"

"At this Dragon Vein Conference, Your Highness demonstrated exceptional strategic acumen and decisive victories on several occasions. We are filled with admiration! Utterly impressed!"

Qin Li pressed his hand down, once again indicating that this was all basic stuff, don't be silly!

After saying that, Qin Li had someone take his token and go out to find Wang Hu to mobilize troops to move the dragon vein.

Despite their large numbers and formidable strength on paper, including a ninth-rank expert, they could easily wipe out a small country if they were to mobilize.

However, the number of people is limited. It's better to be safe than sorry, so it's safer to have Wang Hu bring the main force.

Qin Li also needs soldiers to move all these dragon veins back. If it were just these few people moving them, it would take forever.

While waiting, Wei Hongying suddenly came to Qin Li's side.

Before Wei Hongying could speak, Qin Li continued to play the "good older brother" role, and carried out his act of poaching her boyfriend to the end, saying to Wei Hongying:

"Hongying, don't be angry. Seventh Brother isn't that kind of person. There must be some misunderstanding between you!"

Wei Hongying frowned.

She had already said she would help Qin Li with his cultivation, and Qin Li had agreed.

In her mind, the two of them were now together.

She just needs to break off her engagement with Qin Feng so they can be together openly.

Why is Qin Li now pushing him onto Qin Feng?

Could it be that Qin Li still can't get over that hurdle?

He believed that she was his sister-in-law and he was his elder brother, and therefore they shouldn't have an improper relationship.

Qin Li is so righteous, he's such a gentleman!

"Your Highness, please stop speaking up for that good-for-nothing."

"Tomorrow, tomorrow I'll go to the palace to annul the engagement!"

Wei Hongying didn't want to have anything to do with Qin Feng for even a moment longer; she just wanted to break off the engagement as soon as possible.

After saying that, Wei Hongying remembered the important matter and quickly said, "Your Highness, Bai Zhenzhen has left."

"Gone?"

Qin Li frowned and said, "Why is she leaving? It's only right that the others leave the underground palace; if they don't, they'll be defeated and kicked out. She's one of our own, why is she leaving?"

After saying that, Qin Li rubbed his forehead.

Silly!

That Taoist nun is absolutely foolish.

Qin Lizhen didn't know how her master could let her go down the mountain to explore on her own.

"No, Your Highness."

Wei Hongying quickly explained, "Bai Zhenzhen didn't leave the underground palace; she never even came here in the first place!"

"This morning, when we received the news and rushed here, Bai Zhenzhen had already left from the campsite by the lake."

"What?!"

Qin Li stared wide-eyed, his voice rising three octaves involuntarily, "Gone? How could she leave?"

Seeing Qin Li like this, Wei Hongying sighed again, Qin Li is a true gentleman.

Unlike some men who sleep with you and then just walk away, being extremely irresponsible.

Although Bai Zhenzhen is a Taoist nun, her status is seriously unworthy of Qin Li, the eldest prince. People would gossip if the two of them were together.

But Qin Li ignored those comments and was determined to take responsibility for Bai Zhenzhen, making him a good man worthy of trust.

Qin Li had no idea what Wei Hongying was thinking. If he did, he would definitely think he had overacted.

"She's gone? How could she leave?"

"Such pure Yin energy is unmatched even by a hundred Xiao Xue'ers; it's truly a rare sight in the world."

"She's gone. Once I've digested the yin energy within me, who will I cultivate with?"

Qin Li kept muttering to himself.

All he knew was that Bai Zhenzhen couldn't leave.

We must send someone to bring her back.

I must have her help me with my spiritual practice!

I didn't read it. The protagonist has countless adventures.

During the Dragon Vein Conference, the three main characters each made improvements and gained something.

One must not be lax in one's spiritual practice.

Thinking of this, Qin Li quickly summoned Zhou Biao and asked him to handle the matter.

……

As evening fell, Qin Li returned to the capital from the Jiuyi Mountains. He had just arrived at his residence when an imperial decree arrived from the palace.

Xuan Qinli must immediately enter the palace to meet the Emperor; there must be no delay!

Having just made a great harvest in the Jiuyi Mountains, his adoptive father, Emperor Xuan, came running after smelling the scent.

They don't want me to hand over the dragon vein of the previous dynasty, do they?

Where's your face?!

Qin Li exclaimed that Emperor Xuan was shameless.

But not going to the palace was not an option; one couldn't very well defy the imperial decree in public!

Although defying the imperial decree was not a big deal for him.

However, with the expedition imminent, it's best to avoid any unforeseen complications.

So be it, he'll go to the palace. He'll see how Emperor Xuan dares to ask him for the dragon veins of the previous dynasty.

Thinking this, Qin Li followed the imperial eunuch who was delivering the decree and arrived at the imperial study.

"Greetings, elder brother!"

Qin Feng, who came out from the opposite direction, greeted them with a smile and clasped his hands in a respectful bow.

Before Qin Li could speak, Qin Feng strode away, like a general who had won a great victory.

Watching Qin Feng's departing figure, Qin Li slowly narrowed his eyes.

Before Emperor Xuan summoned him, he also summoned Qin Feng separately. Qin Feng still had the same attitude after he came out.

Something's not right, something's not right!

"Your Highness, please."

Before Qin Li could figure it out, the eunuch delivering the imperial decree, with a smile on his face, bent down and extended an arm to invite him.

Qin Li snapped out of his daze, flicked his sleeves, and strode into the imperial study with his head held high and chest out.

Don't panic.

Not panicked at all!

What's the rush?

He simply didn't believe that the Emperor Xuan would have hidden executioners in the Imperial Study.

As long as this situation doesn't occur, Qin Li can accept it!

"Someone, bring my son a seat!"

Before Qin Li could even bow after entering, the Xuan Emperor behind the dragon desk waved his hand and said...

Qin Li raised an eyebrow and exclaimed that the sun had risen in the west.

As far as I can remember, Emperor Xuan never bestowed seats upon the princes, except for the late General Su, who was Su Chen's grandfather.

The princes were either kneeling or standing.

Whether or not one can stand and reply depends on the Emperor's mood that day.

Who would have thought that he would be offered a seat as soon as he arrived today, especially considering Qin Feng's attitude before he left?

Qin Li thought to himself again... Something's not right, something's not right!

Qin Li instantly became extremely alert...
