Xuanwu War Sovereign

Chapter 500: Chapter 499: Implicated

In the end, Qin Feng chose to remain silent.

He had no idea how it happened, but he had somehow become the prospective son-in-law in the eyes of the Silver Moon Race.

However, he knew that if he exposed this misunderstanding now, the only outcome would be getting kicked out of the Moonless Forest.

And Qin Feng needed to pass through the Moonless Forest.

That would go against his objective.

The only plan for now was to pass that blasted son-in-law trial and then find an opportunity to leave the Moonless Forest.

His mind was heavy with thoughts, a trace of frustration lingering in his eyes.

"Young Master Qin, let me show you around our Silver Moon Clan. While the Silver Moon Clan isn’t large, we’ve lived in the Moonless Forest for generations. Beneath the Queen, we also have eight Grand Elders! They are the strongest members of our clan, second only to the Queen!"

Yin Ling didn’t notice Qin Feng’s expression. She led him on a tour around the Silver Moon Lakefront. Ever since learning that Qin Feng was Yue Ji’s ’close friend,’ Yin Ling had become exceptionally enthusiastic, voluntarily taking on the task of showing the Qin Family members around.

Ancient trees grew along the Silver Moon Lakefront, their canopies towering like great umbrellas. Most members of the Silver Moon Clan lived in treehouses.

Only a small number of them, due to frequent contact with outsiders, had gradually grown accustomed to living on the ground.

The area was surrounded by a wide, green field. The short grass and plants looked as if they had been trimmed by the young women of the Silver Moon Clan, appearing exceptionally neat and open.

Ancient trees stood tall on the carpet-like lawn, their branches creating a thick shade dotted with tiny flecks of light.

Qin Feng turned around. In the center was Silver Moon Lake.

The early morning sun scattered down through a hazy mist, and under the light, Silver Moon Lake revealed a faint, pale silver hue.

A thin, silvery fog shrouded the area. Numerous thumb-sized flower elves, with wings like a cicada’s, flew out from the flower petals of the treehouses to play in the morning light.

It was a scene of utter peace!

With Qin Feng’s insight, he could naturally tell that this was a rare Blessed Land.

This was already his second day at Silver Moon Lake.

At the lake’s edge, Qin Feng had woken up the members of the Qin Family early in the morning and rushed them to the Silver Moon Lakefront for their morning exercises.

They were to seize this rare opportunity to absorb the rich Taiyin essence abundant around the Silver Moon Lakefront.

This was the territory of the Silver Moon Race. Aside from the uniquely blessed members of the clan, not many others would have such a great opportunity to cultivate here.

Qin Feng’s gaze shifted, landing on a stele by the lakeside.

It was a peculiar, translucent, silvery-white stele that emanated a silver glow.

Qin Feng glanced at it and saw that the stele recorded the origin of the Silver Moon Race.

Seeing Qin Feng notice the stele, Yin Ling smiled sweetly and said,

"Speaking of which, the Silver Moon Clan has a very deep relationship with the Star Sect. Throughout history, many of our strongest members have joined the Star Sect. Many of our past Queens have even been Elders of Weiyue Peak, and some have even served as the presiding Elders of the Star Sect’s Twenty-eight Peaks!"

Qin Feng was inwardly shaken. ’Just as I thought,’ he mused.

Qin Feng had already had his suspicions about the relationship between the Silver Moon Clan and the Star Sect.

He had noticed something when passing through the White Bone Battlefield.

The White Bone Battlefield and the Moonless Forest were both located in the heartland of the Star Sect.

As the sayings go, one mountain cannot hold two tigers, and you can’t let others snore beside your own bed.

Clearly, the Silver Moon Clan must have some special connection with the Star Sect to be able to reside in the Moonless Forest, a core part of the sect’s territory.

’And it seems the Silver Moon Clan’s status in the Star Sect is extraordinary!’ Qin Feng mused, his gaze turning toward the center of Silver Moon Lake.

This Silver Moon Lake was no ordinary Spirit Mountain Blessed Land.

It was a Level 9 Spirit Mountain Blessed Land.

A Level 9 Spirit Mountain Blessed Land—the absolute highest grade!

Everything before him was merely the tip of the iceberg of this Level 9 Spirit Mountain Blessed Land.

Within Qin Feng’s Spiritual Sense, he could feel that there was another world at the center of Silver Moon Lake, but it seemed to be concealed by an extremely powerful array set up by an Array Grandmaster.

Although Qin Feng saw through it, he said nothing more.

Yin Ling had just finished a tour of the area with the black-robed youth when a soft, sweet voice drifted over.

"Is this my big sister’s beloved?"

With snow-white hair and a flowing green dress, she was as graceful as a clear cyan lotus. This was a beautiful young woman of about fifteen or sixteen.

The young woman approached gracefully, appearing as gentle as water, but a trace of cold indifference in her eyes told Qin Feng that she hadn’t come over just to say hello.

Beside her stood a stunningly beautiful and charming young matron.

The matron’s expression was placid, but as her gaze swept over Qin Feng, a peculiar glint flashed silently in the depths of her eyes.

"And this is?" Qin Feng looked toward Yin Ling.

Yin Ling’s expression was a bit strange. "This is our Silver Moon Clan’s Second Princess, Princess Yu Qian!"

"Qin Feng, this princess has heard your name. A rising star of the Star Sect’s All Stars Academy, a Fourth Grade Alchemist at fifteen. You’re somewhat famous, I suppose. While you can’t compare to the peerless geniuses on the Martial Arts Pride Ranking, you’re more than good enough for that sister of mine!"

This Princess Yu Qian spoke with great arrogance. The way she looked at Qin Feng was condescending, and her words were extremely unpleasant.

Qin Feng felt a surge of displeasure. It was one thing for this woman to belittle Yue Ji, but now she was directing her fire at him.

Qin Feng had indeed heard of the so-called Martial Arts Pride Ranking. It was a list compiled by the Spirit Treasure Sect, ranking the young powerhouses of the Seventy-two Sects.

The Martial Arts Pride Ranking included the peerless prodigies from the younger generations of all the major sects and kingdoms.

The list was updated once every ten years.

Given the Spirit Treasure Sect’s influence, the ranking carried considerable weight.

Within the Star Sect, a few people were on that list, and every single one was a peerless celestial pride.

Their aptitude, cultivation, and comprehension were in no way inferior to the self-sealed Ancient Celestial Pride that Qin Feng had met before.

After a brief silence, Qin Feng said, "From what the Second Princess is saying, does that mean only a genius from the Martial Arts Pride Ranking is worthy of you?"

The green-robed young woman gave a cold smile, her expression aloof. "But of course. With my status today, how could I possibly be matched with some common rabble!"

Her words were full of insinuations, and it was obvious that "common rabble" was a reference to him, Qin Feng.

It was a jab at his humble origins.

"This princess is not like some people who would lower themselves to be with any random stray!"

The green-robed young woman walked slowly past Qin Feng, a cold sneer in her beautiful eyes. Her aura was imperious. "This princess will either not marry at all, or I will marry the strongest man in this world!"

Pfft!

Qin Feng couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" The green-robed young woman stopped, spun around, and glared coldly at the black-robed youth.

"Second Princess, may I ask you a question?"

The green-robed young woman frowned. "What do you want to ask?"

Qin Feng said, "In your opinion, what are the minimum requirements for a woman to be worthy of one of those celestial prides from the Martial Arts Pride Ranking?"

After a slight pause, Qin Feng added, "I believe that to be worthy of them, a woman should at the very least possess nation-toppling beauty. Do you agree?"

The green-robed young woman’s gaze turned icy. "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Qin Feng replied, "I’m trying to say, have you ever looked in a mirror?"

Without waiting for a response or paying any mind to the young woman’s face, which had turned the color of pig liver, Qin Feng continued, "As I see it, you have neither Yue Ji’s beauty, nor her talent for alchemy, nor her intelligence and diligence. What makes you think you’re qualified to marry a celestial pride from the Martial Arts Pride Ranking?"
