If Qingfeng City had not been in such a predicament, Qiu Moyan would not have used his own daughter to make a private deal with the Chen family.
It was precisely because he understood the Qiu family's situation that Rong Fei did not shy away from his status as an outsider and entered the city in a big way.
Compared with the gains and losses of ancestral inheritance, small issues such as birth origin are not that important.
The fact was indeed as Rong Fei expected. Qiu Moyan and his daughter only briefly explored Rong Fei's identity and then kept silent.
Rong Fei nodded when he heard this and smiled confidently.
"City Lord, please rest assured. In this competition, there is no guarantee that there will be too many, but it is easy to win back ten or eight cities."
"Hmph, you are not ashamed of your words."
Qiu Yue'e glared at Rong Fei and snorted coldly.
Rong Fei ignored it automatically and raised two fingers towards Qiu Moyan.
"But my nephew has two requests, and I hope the city lord will grant them."
"As it should be, my dear nephew, just say so."
Qiu Moyan stroked his beard and smiled, but there was a flash of eclipse in the corner of his eyes.
Qiu Yue'e's face suddenly turned pale, and she couldn't help but tighten her fists hidden under the table.
"The first request is that I would like to pay homage to the Fenghou statue enshrined in the city."
Surprise flashed across the faces of Qiu and his daughter. After thinking for a moment, Qiu Moyan felt that he had guessed Rong Fei's intention.
"Not to mention my nephew, I will also invite my nephew to pay homage to the statue of Fenghou tomorrow morning. Although there is not much divine power left in the statue, it is better than nothing. If you absorb more points, there will be more time in the fight. There is only one chance of winning. This matter does not count, my nephew can make another request."
Qiu Yue'e's heart immediately tightened when she heard this, and she secretly pulled her father's sleeve as a reminder, but Qiu Moyan seemed unaware.
Rong Fei said without comment, he slightly put away one finger.
"The second request is that after the competition, I want to go to the temple with the statue of Fenghou."
"this…"
"But is there any difficulty?"
"It's not difficult, it's just...even if I agree to my nephew now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make the trip. My nephew doesn't know something. Although everyone knows that the temple is in the center of the world, it has never happened in thousands of years. Some people have set foot in the restricted area, and no one has seen the temple with their own eyes. Every time, each city just sends the statues of gods enshrined by them to the outside of the restricted area, and then they have to return separately, not daring to take a step beyond the boundaries."
Qiu Moyan explained.
"The restricted area...what will happen if I enter it by mistake?"
Rong Fei asked curiously.
"The only consequence for disobeying the temple's prohibition is death, being wiped out in ashes and leaving no body intact."
After Qiu Moyan finished speaking, his expression seemed a little hesitant. After thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but add.
"However, my nephew may be different."
"Oh? What do you say?"
"Well...my nephew is quite upright in his conduct. I hit it off with you right away, so I can speak frankly. My nephew, you...are not from here."
"It seems that the city lord knows a lot."
Rong Fei asked noncommittally.
"The first generation of Qiu family ancestors were followers of the gods back then, and led the entire family to follow the gods to the world of Datong. Before his death, the ancestor left a notebook, which recorded the origin of the world of Datong and the history of the chessboard continent outside. Some overview.”
Sure enough, the human race in this world of Datong migrated from outside and can be regarded as a branch of the human race.
Even so, Rong Fei had no need to continue to cover up, and nodded to admit it.
"That's right, my nephew came from outside."
Qiu Yue'e was confused when she heard words like "Chessboard Continent" outside, but Qiu Moyan didn't have time to explain to her daughter and asked Rongfei excitedly.
"My dear nephew, what is the outside world like now?"
"There will be plenty of opportunities to talk about this in the future, so let's talk about the temple first."
Qiu Moyan looked a little regretful when he heard this, but he couldn't force it, so he could only rub his hands and smile bitterly.
"I can promise to take my nephew with me when escorting the statue. As for whether I can enter the restricted area alive and visit the temple, I can only rely on my nephew's own ability."
"That's good."
Rong Fei nodded in response and then stopped talking.
"My dear nephew, the first request you just made does not count. You can make another one."
Qiu Moyan ignored his daughter's look and reminded him.
"The purpose of this trip has been achieved, and there is nothing more to ask for."
"Good nephew..."
"Dad, it's getting late and the guests are going to rest, so let's not disturb them anymore."
Qiu Yue'e stood next to her father and tried to lift him up by force.
"No hurry, no hurry, I still have something to talk to my nephew. If you are tired, you can go back and rest on your own."
Qiu Moyan still wanted to get outside information from Rong Fei, so he shook off Qiu Yuee's hands and pushed him towards the door.
"By the way, I asked your Uncle Liu to prepare some wine and food for you. My father wants to have a night chat with nephew Rong Feixian by candlelight."
"father…"
Qiu Yue'e stamped her lotus feet angrily.
"Silly girl, haven't you seen it yet? They don't look down on our little Qingfeng City at all, and they don't even have the slightest intention of coveting you. Don't worry, dad is not an old fool yet."
Qiu Moyan explained in a low voice in his ear.
It turns out that Qiu Yue'e had always had a bad attitude towards Rong Fei, because she thought that Rong Fei, like Chen Minghui, had his own plans for Qingfeng City.
Now that my father said it like this, I couldn't help but feel relaxed.
After walking out of the room in a daze, Qiu Yue'e woke up immediately when the cool night breeze blew her.
No longer have to marry someone you don’t like for the benefit of the family – that’s great!
The burden that had been weighing on my heart for a long time was finally lifted, and my perception of Rong Fei also changed.
Although this guy looks hateful, he has a kind heart.
It's just... that he doesn't covet him. He's really blind.
Even worse than that bastard Chen Minghui.
In the study, Qiu Moyan introduced some matters related to the competition in detail, including which main cities were stronger, which opponents needed to be treated with caution, etc.
Rong Fei didn't take this to heart. After meeting the top master in Qingfeng City, it was really difficult for the so-called master in the world of Datong to catch his eye.
And if nothing else goes wrong, Murong Canghai, Bai Zizai, Shushan, Demon Palace and other Tianxiawalkers should now have a foothold in other major cities.
They are the opponents that need to be faced in this competition.
Knock knock knock…
"Master, the food and wine are ready."
There was a knock on the study door, and an old voice came from outside the door.
"come in."
After Qiu Moyan finished speaking, the study door was pushed open, and an old man in a blue shirt walked in carrying a tray.
After placing the food and wine on the square table, the old man bowed slightly to Qiu Moyan, then smiled and nodded at Rong Fei.
Although this old man was dressed like a servant, his whole person had a calm and unhurried aura.
Seeing that the old man was about to turn around and leave, Qiu Moyan grabbed his arm and smiled at Rong Fei.
"Haha, let me introduce my nephew. This is the general manager of the humble house. He has grown up with me since he was a child, and we are brothers and sisters. If your nephew is not seen outside, you can also call him Uncle Liu. Liu Chen, please meet this Rong Feixian soon. Nephew, he is an honored guest of our Qingfeng City."
"I've met Mr. Rong."
The old steward Liu Chen bowed solemnly and saluted Rongfei.
At this time, Rong Fei's attention was focused on the food and wine in front of him, as if he didn't hear what Qiu Moyan and Liu Chen said.
Qiu Moyan was a little embarrassed, and at the same time he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
It is true that Qingfeng City relies on you to win this competition, but you also want something, and both sides get what they need.
I'm kindly introducing someone close to you to me, why are you pretending to be so serious?
After being silent for a while, Qiu Moyan finally couldn't help it when he saw Rong Fei actually picked up the chopsticks to pick up the dishes on the plate, but he didn't dare to offend Rong Fei, and his mind was racing, thinking about how to deal with this situation.
After Rong Fei flicked the dishes for a few times, he put down his chopsticks and then waved towards Liu Chen.
"sit."
Liu Chen blinked, and then looked at Qiu Moyan with questioning intent.
"The distinguished guest asks you to sit down, so you can sit down."
Qiu Moyan muttered in a somewhat unhappy tone.
After Liu Chen took his seat, Rong Fei smiled and said to Qiu Moyan.
"It's not that my nephew is ignorant of etiquette, he just thought of something strange."
"Oh, what's the weird thing?"
Qiu Moyan was immediately curious.
"It's because the city lord failed to give birth to an heir."
