Chapter 690: Yanran Falling in Love with Him

Chapter 690 Yanran Falling in Love with Him

Ye Qing gave him a sly grin and then said, "I can help you, but you have to first promise me something."

"Just say it. I'll do whatever I can."

Qin Haodong was now eager to get all the Upper Level Spirit Stones to move to the next stage. He did not care what Ye Qing wanted him to do.

"I'll help you to contact the Huaxia Museum tomorrow if you come with me to a tea party tonight."

"That's no big deal."

Ye Qing had asked him to go to a tea party with her and Qin Haodong agreed without any hesitation.

In the Yan family, Yan Zicheng stood in front of Yan Fengwu, with a sallow face and said, "Grandpa, the Zhao family has gone too far. Qingwu is engaged to me, but they broke off the engagement and want to send Qingwu over to this guy called Qin Haodong. They are not even taking us seriously."

Yan Fengwu was much calmer than his grandson, "Kid, remember that the only thing we aristocratic families care about is interest. It always comes first.'

"The marriage alliance between the Zhao family and us was for family benefits. Now they broke off the engagement and proposed marriage to Qin Haodong to get benefits. That's quite normal."

"The Zhao family broke off the engagement because Qin Haodong is more powerful than us. They will get more benefits through the marriage with Qin."

Yan Zicheng shouted, "I don't care! I just want Zhao Qingwu back! I will get her as my wife at any cost."

Yan Fengwu glanced at him with dissatisfaction, "Kid, it's useless to scream and shout here. No one will stop you from marrying her, but are you strong enough to get her?"

"If you're stronger than Qin Haodong, the Zhao family will immediately send Zhao Qingwu over here. But if you're no match for Qin, you are just daydreaming and what you want may even hurt yourself."

Yan Zicheng retorted, "What's so great about Qin Haodong? Why does the Zhao family fawn over him with their granddaughter? Have they forgotten that Qin Haodong just took their daughter-in-law away?"

Yan Fengwu sighed and said, "You're too naive. The reason why the Zhao family swallowed their pride and fawned on him is for family benefits."

"What's so great about Qin Haodong? He has become a ninth-level grand master in his twenties. Can you do it?"

"Well..."

Yan Zicheng was speechless for a while. He was an excellent young man, but he has just reached the fifth level of the supreme power realm. It was impossible for him to become ninth-level grand master in such a short time.

"Grandpa, I can't take it anymore. Is there nothing we can do?"

Yan Fengwu glared at his beloved grandson in disappointment and said, "Then tell me, what can we do now? Should we go and fight with the Zhao family?"

Yan Zicheng said, "The Zhao family is equally strong and there's nothing we can do to them. But at least we can settle with Qin Haodong."

"Settle with Qin Haodong?" Yan Fengwu sneered, "You're right about the Zhao family. But Qin Haodong is several times stronger than us."

"He can destroy our Yan family at any time if he wants to. How dare you make trouble for him? What I am worried about now is that we don't have a girl of marriageable age, otherwise, I will also go and propose marriage."

Except the Yan family, the other six major families in the capital had already taken action to build a relationship with Qin Haodong.

On the one hand, Yan Fengwu had other plans. However, there were no girls who could match the three beauties among the third generation of their family, otherwise, he would have gone over to propose marriage.

"What..."

Yan Zicheng knew that Qin Haodong was a powerful young man, but he did not realize that he was even stronger than the entire Yan family.

Yan Fengwu warned him, "Don't go and look for Qin Haodong these days. I will not spare you if you get our family into big trouble."

"But Grandpa, I can't give up so easily!"

Yan Fengwu looked at Yan Zicheng and said, "In fact, you don't have to worry about it. Our Yan family may rise in the near future."

Yan Zicheng asked in confusion, "Grandpa, what do you mean?"

Yan Fengwu said proudly, "Three days ago, your aunt started to cultivate alone. She seemed to have gotten a pill from a great master and it's very likely that she can enter the Holy Stage this time."

"We will definitely be the top one among the aristocratic families in the capital if your aunt can enter the Holy Stage. Qin Haodong will be destroyed easily no matter how many ninth-level grand masters are under his command."

"At that time, you can get Zhao Qingwu or any girl you like in the capital as your wife. No one would dare to say no."

Yan Zicheng cried out in great excitement, "That's great! Grandpa, I didn't expect my aunt to be so powerful that she could be the first saint among the Seven Great Families in the capital."

Yan Fengwu said, "Don't be too overjoyed. We have to keep it a secret and make sure that no one knows about it."

Before Yan Feifei started her cultivation, she had talked to him and mentioned that she had a 90% chance of breaking through this time, which was the reason why Yan Fengwu didn't come on to Qin Haodong and fawned over him recently.

The Yan family would definitely be the top aristocratic family in the capital if Yan Feifei became a Saint. There was no need for them to please the Tang Sect.

"I know, grandpa. I will keep it a secret."

Yan Zicheng's anger and depression disappeared immediately. He did not need to care about Qin Haodong who would be a nobody if his aunt became the first saint in the capital.

In the Wei family, an elegant girl was standing in front of Wei Junce, master of the Wei family. She still acted like a lady although she was in a towering rage right now.

This was Wei Yanran, granddaughter of Wei Junce. It was said that her beautiful smile could overturn a nation.

"Grandpa, how can you do this? I haven't even met this guy called Qin Haodong before. How can you propose marriage without my permission?"

Wei Junce explained, "Yanran, you have not met each other yet, but I've seen him myself. He's a promising young man and has reached the ninth-level of the supreme power realm in his twenties."

"I have never seen such an outstanding young man in the past 70 years. Is he not worthy of you?"

"But I don't like him!" Wei Yanran said, "Grandpa, you have long known that I like talented people, not those who only care about fighting and martial arts. I won't marry him even he's a saint, not to mention that he's just a ninth-level grand master now!"

"Nonsense!"

Wei Junce's face clouded. Although Wei Yanran was his favorite kid, he would not allow her to refuse the proposal, because the marriage could determine the destiny of the entire Wei family.

"As a member of an aristocratic family, you can't determine your marriage all by yourself. It must be decided by your family!"

Wei Junce softened his tone as if he realized that he had been too strict with his granddaughter, "Yanran, I know that you like those who're good at painting and calligraphy now. But what can they do?"

"Only those great masters can decide their destinies and determine the prosperity of an aristocratic family. Believe me, the husband I chose for you is the best."

"Grandpa, I won't agree with the marriage anyway."

Wei Yanran left angrily after saying that, but Wei Junce did not take what she had said seriously. As a member of a big aristocratic family, the younger generation could not decide on their marriage by themselves. They had to take the family's interest as the top priority.

Wei Yanran's opinion did not matter at all and what he worried about was that Qin Haodong would not give him his explicit consent. They would immediately send her over once Qin Haodong agreed.

Wei Yanran left the Wei family in a fit of anger and drove to a tea house.

The tea house, which was decorated in an ancient way from inside to outside, looked antique and elegant. However, the plaque at the door had the words, "Jing Dong", which looked a little vulgar.

Wei Yanran was a frequent visitor here. She went straight to the back hall without being stopped. An elegant girl dressed in a period costume was sitting at the table, enjoying tea and reading a book.

The girl put down her book at the sight of Wei Yanran, who looked angry and depressed and asked, "Yanran, what happened? Why are you so angry?"

Wei Yanran sat opposite the girl angrily and poured herself a cup of tea. "How can I be happy? Grandpa arranged a marriage for me."

The girl in the period costume gave her a warm smile, "It's a good thing to get engaged. We women have to get married eventually. Why are you so unhappy about it?"

"I will accept it if it's just an ordinary marriage alliance. After all, this is the fate of girls from big families." Wei Yanran said angrily, "But it's ridiculous. The man already has several girlfriends and I have to be the concubine if I marry him."

"The most annoying thing is that he didn't agree immediately and said that he had to think about it first. I've never met such a shameless man in my life!"

The girl in the period costume was also surprised after hearing her story, "I can't believe it. Doesn't he know that you are one of the three beauties in the capital? It's a blessing to get you as his wife, so why is he so hesitant?"

Wei Yanran said, "That's not all. Zhao Qingwu from the Zhao family and Han Jieyu from the Han family also want to marry him.

"You know what I want. I just want to find my Mr. Right who is proficient in calligraphy and painting. I did not realize this before I had to fight with other girls for a husband."

Speaking of this, she said angrily, "Why did you come back from Jiangnan? I can run away from home to stay with you if you were there."

The girl in the period costume said, "I have no choice. Jiangnan is a good place. It's not as prosperous as the capital, but it's rich in human resources and is full of talents."

"I won't not have left Jiangnan and come back here if my grandpa wasn't ill."

Wei Yanran drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, as if she had made a decision. She said, "I have decided that I can't stay here and wait. I have to go to Jiangnan to find him."

The girl in the period costume was shocked. She did not expect that Wei Yanran, who had always been elegant, would make such a resolute decision. She asked, "Will this work? You haven't even seen him before."

"So what? Ever since I saw his painting, I've decided to marry him."

Then she stood up and walked slowly to the wall. There was an exquisite painting hanging on the wall. It was an ink painting with rocks and plum blossoms on it. The painting looked simple but had a profound artistic conception.

If Qin Haodong saw it, he would be very surprised. This painting was the one he drew with a little teddy in the Japanese-Huaxia Exchange Conference. He didn't take it away with him. But it appeared on the wall of a Tea House in the capital.

Wei Yanran fixed her eyes on the painting and murmured, "Mingrui, you are not lying to me, are you? Is that Medical Sage really so magical that his calligraphy and painting skills have reached an unfathomable level?"

The girl in the period costume was Hua Mingrui, the Tea Fairy. She was Wei Yanran's best friend.

She brought this painting from Jiangnan. Wei Yanran loved painting and calligraphy since she was a child. When she saw this painting of plum blossoms, she was fascinated by it and forced Hua Mingrui to tell her its story.

Wei Yanran has fallen in love with the Medical Sage, who was good at calligraphy and painting, even if they had never even met each other before.
