Special Expert of Beauty CEO-Chapter 1538 - 1542: Angering Nangong Bingfeng

Nangong Bingfeng suddenly stood up from his seat and walked directly to Yun Luo's side.

Yun Luo thought she had done something wrong and was quite frightened.

The City Lord said, "Bingfeng, why are you so agitated? What does that woman from the Murong Family have to do with you? I heard you were quite close to her at East Han Academy. Do you perhaps aspire to something beyond your reach? The women from the Murong Family, unless they are royalty or nobles, who is worthy to marry them?"

"Father, I never intended to aim for the Murong Family."

Nangong Bingfeng turned to look at Nangong Minghua, "It's someone from the Imperial City, a prominent figure there, who has taken a fancy to Murong Fei, and wants me to keep an eye on her?"

"That person from the Imperial City? Who?" Nangong Minghua was taken aback.

"I'll explain in detail later."

Nangong Bingfeng glanced at Yun Luo, unwilling to speak in her presence, and asked her directly, "Yun Luo, is it true that Murong Fei visited Qin Tian?"

"Yes, Third Young Master, it's true. I saw it with my own eyes," Yun Luo replied. "Originally, I intended to eavesdrop on their conversation, but Qin Tian's cultivation is profound, and I feared I might startle and alert him, so I did not eavesdrop."

"Alright, I understand. If there's nothing else, go back quickly and don't let Qin Tian find out. You've done well."

Nangong Bingfeng praised Yun Luo briefly, allowing her to leave, while he fell into deep thought, as if talking to himself, "I've long felt that there was something unusual in the way Murong looks at Qin Tian. I thought I was imagining things, but it seems there must be a secret between them! Hmph, Qin Tian, are you competing with that person for a woman? You're courting death!"

"Bingfeng, can you tell me now who has taken a liking to Murong Fei?" Nangong Minghua asked from behind.

Nangong Bingfeng turned back to look at his father and said, "It's the future Crown Prince of the Imperial City!"

Nangong Minghua's expression changed dramatically upon hearing this!

...

"Qin Tian, today you will come with me to the City Lord Mansion. We will discuss the matter of the East Gate General along with the City Lord and the three Special Envoys from the Imperial City. The five of us will reach a final conclusion."

Xiao Zhan summoned Qin Tian to the Governor's Mansion and asked him to accompany him to the City Lord Mansion. The two shared a flying horse carriage, showing Xiao Zhan's trust in Qin Tian.

The flying horse carriage was swift, soaring smoothly in the sky.

Inside the carriage, Xiao Zhan whispered to Qin Tian, "The situation on the City Lord's side is unclear. Among the three Special Envoys from the Imperial City, one is on our side, but the other two are influenced by the Lords of East State and Yunzhong. Therefore, the City Lord's opinion is crucial. However, it doesn't matter; even if the City Lord doesn't support me, you still have two votes and can negotiate further. You can rest assured today, I will do my best to fight for you."

Xiao Zhan spoke lightly, but Qin Tian felt deeply moved upon hearing it.

Upon reaching the City Lord Mansion in the sky, Qin Tian and Xiao Zhan got off together.

Xiao Zhan, the City Lord, and the three Special Envoys from the Imperial City directly entered the inner chambers.

While waiting outside the hall were Qin Tian and the other candidates Zhao Long and Ye Ming.

The three competed for the same position, but outwardly, they were polite, exchanging pleasantries. Qin Tian, however, preferred the quiet, said a few courteous words, then sat on the side to enjoy tea, waiting quietly.

In contrast, Ye Ming and Zhao Long appeared very tense, standing the entire time, pacing back and forth, making Qin Tian a bit dizzy.

"Qin Tian, hello!"

Just as Qin Tian was about to close his eyes and rest, a somewhat familiar voice came from behind him.

Qin Tian turned around and saw Nangong Bingfeng standing behind him, wearing a fake smile.

"Young Master Nangong, hello."

Qin Tian stood up and politely greeted Nangong Bingfeng.

At present, Nangong Bingfeng was not only the Third Young Master of the City Lord Mansion but also part of the Soul Suppressing Hall. Qin Tian didn't wish to provoke those from the Soul Suppressing Hall, so he tried to keep a friendly tone, hoping not to draw any attention from Nangong Bingfeng.

"I heard you're competing for the position of East Gate General?" Nangong Bingfeng asked Qin Tian bluntly.

At that moment, Zhao Long and Ye Ming enthusiastically came over to greet Nangong Bingfeng too. Nangong Bingfeng responded briefly, but his attention was clearly focused on Qin Tian, so the two stepped aside tactfully.

"Yes, we all are," Qin Tian replied.

"How confident are you?"

"Well… I abide by the appointments and never speculate on the superiors' intentions. I just do my best to strive for it."

"Hehe, I find you to be quite deep-minded. Isn't it because you harbor many secrets inside?"

Nangong Bingfeng looked at Qin Tian with a sly smile, his eyes clearly harboring ill intentions.

"Third Young Master, what do you mean by this? Qin Tian doesn't understand. Are you just chatting idly with me, or is there something else?"

Qin Tian was very wary of Nangong Bingfeng.

Nangong Bingfeng said, "Consider it as idle chatter. By the way, have you married yet?"

"No."

"Hehe, even though you hold a general's position, you're still unmarried?"

Nangong Bingfeng's face maintained a faux-smile, "I heard you come from a commoner background, Qin Tian. I happen to know a few wealthy ladies, who, although not of noble lineage, come from prestigious families. Compared to your background, they are certainly more noble..."

"What do you think? Shall I personally introduce you to someone? It's my first time acting as a matchmaker."

Nangong Bingfeng's words made Qin Tian take a second look at him.

Act as a matchmaker for me?

No matter how Qin Tian saw it, it didn't seem like Nangong Bingfeng had good intentions.

"Third Young Master, I currently have no intention of getting married, so... I'm afraid I must disappoint you." Qin Tian declined without hesitation.

"You refuse me?" Nangong Bingfeng was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Qin Tian to refuse so directly. "Do you know what the consequences are, refusing my kindness?"

"I really don't know, sorry, Third Young Master. You've mentioned those ladies come from prestigious families, and I, a mere commoner, cannot reach such heights."

Qin Tian continued to refuse courteously.

Although he didn't want to provoke Nangong Bingfeng, it didn't mean he feared him. He feared no one!

"Qin Tian, I'm truly helping you, if not for my father..."

Nangong Bingfeng pointed towards Qin Tian in the air but held back the rest of his sentence, gritting his teeth.

Nangong Minghua cherished Qin Tian as a talent. So when he heard that Nangong Bingfeng wanted to report the matter of Qin Tian and Murong Fei to the Imperial City, he took the initiative to spare Qin Tian's life, suggesting he propose a marriage to Qin Tian to dispel the Imperial City's misunderstanding and anger.

With Nangong Minghua's suggestion, Nangong Bingfeng acted as a matchmaker today.

But unexpectedly, Qin Tian's stance was so firm, without any room for negotiation, leaving Nangong Bingfeng furious!

"If it weren't for the fact that we're peers from East Han Academy, you wouldn't be able to take a single step in East Capital City!" Nangong Bingfeng said, glaring threateningly at Qin Tian.
