The last change in the Valley of Alien Beasts, if it weren't for Mu Hanyan, none of those who were tricked into death by him would have survived. Regardless of success or failure in the end, there would be no loss for him, and Zhengying was the one who suffered the most. The college has nothing to do with him.
However, because of Mu Hanyan in front of him, hundreds of people survived the catastrophe and saved their lives. Afterwards, Zhengying Academy compensated a large amount of elixir, and after all the good words, they calmed down the families behind those young elites.
However, most of these losses were passed on to the Qu family in the end. Compared with Zhengying College's missteps, those elite swordsmen who were deceived by Qu Fengting hated Qu Fengting even more. The families behind them also saw the right time, raised high bamboo poles, and mercilessly attacked Qu's family. Knocked down.
Even the Mu family in Black Rock City benefited a lot from it, but these things were handled by Mu Rui'an alone, and had nothing to do with Mu Hanyan.
In Mu Rui'an's words, it means that she is focusing on cultivation now, and don't be disturbed by these dirty things of intrigue. But when he saw Mu Rui'an's complacent smiling face later, Mu Hanyan guessed "maliciously" whether Master Mu was so shocked by the pile of bank notes on his precious daughter that he finally found someone who made a fortune. Lu Zi, afraid that his daughter would take the lead again, so he found a reason to send her aside.
In short, the Qu family suffered heavy losses this time, and their power in Nanxi County also declined sharply. Even the status of the No. 1 family in Nanxi County was snatched away by the Wu family.
As soon as Qu Fengting returned to the family, he was scolded by the head of the family and the elders, and the younger brothers in the family even lost no time in throwing stones into trouble.
In order to appease the anger of the major families, or more precisely, to appease the anger of his own children, the patriarch had no choice but to send Qu Fengting out of Anyun Kingdom, and seek refuge with a distant relative who was practicing outside.
The former young master of the Qu family just left his hometown like this, and may never have the chance to return to Anyun. The position of the future patriarch who was once regarded as something in his pocket just slipped away from his fingertips.
Qu Fengting's grief, indignation and despair, as well as his hatred for Mu Hanyan, can be imagined.
But even he himself did not expect that this trip would save him from a desperate situation. Not only was he fortunate enough to meet a nobleman, but his strength also improved a lot. Under the summoning of the Zong family, he actually escorted the nobleman back to Yunjing City .
It doesn't matter whether it's a return to his hometown with honor, or it's a return to his hometown with clothes and clothes, in short, after a few months, he once again returned to Anyun country in a show of power.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the capital, he would meet Mu Hanyan, an old enemy, which made him feel very upset.
However, Qu Fengting also knew that the capital city was not Nanxi County, no matter how proud he was, he could not attack Mu Hanyan at will, so he glared at Mu Hanyan and the others fiercely with murderous eyes, and he also withdrew his gaze. The young man entered the Yingfeng Building together.
"Cousin, do you know that person?" Others didn't notice Qu Fengting's gaze, but the young man next to him saw something strange in his expression and asked coldly.
The young man's face looked a few years younger than Qu Fengting's, but there was no trace of childishness on his face, it was vaguely majestic, his face was stern, and there was a gloomy look in his eyes.
"If you go back to His Highness, it's an old friend. I didn't expect him to come to the capital." Qu Fengting said respectfully.
This young man is the fifth prince of An Yun Kingdom. His mother, Concubine Rong, was born in the Qu family. Considering her seniority, Qu Fengting should call her an aunt, and she and the fifth prince are cousins.
Of course, in a big family like the Qu family, the so-called cousins like them are already far away in blood relationship, and they can't even get along with each other. Let alone close, they may not even know each other.
Coincidentally, Qu Fengting got into a catastrophe and was sent to Xiangling Kingdom to seek refuge with that distant relative, and the fifth prince was also practicing in Xiangling Kingdom with an expert from the outside world, so that distant relative led Qu Fengting there. Getting acquainted, the two hit it off and talked happily.
Later, the fifth prince was ordered by his teacher to travel abroad, and Qu Fengting followed him all the time. It can be said that he lived and died together.
The fifth prince had achieved success in cultivation, and when he went back to Beijing, he brought Qu Fengting back with him.
Qu Fengting's disaster was a bit embarrassing for the Qu family, but it was not too much trouble for the Fifth Prince.
The families around Nanxi County can make things difficult for the Qu family in Nanxi City, but they dare not offend the royal family easily.
"Is there some holiday?" The Fifth Prince asked.
"It's a bit of a holiday. Speaking of it, I want to thank him. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have been kicked out of Anyun Kingdom, and I wouldn't have had the chance to serve His Highness." Qu Fengting said with a gloomy face.
"So that's how it is." The fifth prince's eyes flickered, thinking about something in his heart, his eyes became even colder.
Back then when his mother sent him out of An Yun Country, she said it was for his own good, but in fact she had unavoidable reasons. In the eyes of outsiders, his mother is extremely noble as an imperial concubine, but as a royal family, he knows that the cruel competition among royal families is actually worse than the intrigues between wealthy families.
His mother sent him out of An Yun Country because he didn't want him to be involved in the struggle for imperial power, lest he get burned. In fact, many self-aware concubines and nobles in the palace did this. They sent their descendants out of the country. Although they had no chance of competing for the throne, they could at least preserve their glory for the rest of their lives.
Many princes and grandchildren like him are also content with themselves, not daring to overstep.
But the fifth prince is different, he is an ambitious person, and he is not willing to give up just like this.
This time when he returned to the capital, he made up his mind to establish his own prestige and let everyone know that his fifth prince also has the strength to ascend to the throne.
In the past few years, although he was far away in Xiangling Kingdom, he never broke contact with Anyun Kingdom. The group of young people behind him are the children of the rich and powerful families, and they will also be a powerful arm for him to ascend the throne in the future.
Just after returning to the palace to meet his father and mother concubine, the children of these aristocratic families came to welcome him, which made the fifth prince very excited. However, he could also tell that among these people, many of them had twinkling eyes, as if hesitant.
It's no wonder, after all, he is only ranked fifth among the many princes, and he has been away from the capital for so many years, and some people have even forgotten his existence. These people inevitably lack confidence in him and want them to follow the fifth prince wholeheartedly It's really embarrassing for them to embark on the road of no return to fight for the throne.
No, I must do something to establish prestige in the capital as soon as possible, and let everyone know that my fifth prince is back. What's more, let the people behind me know that following my fifth prince is the most correct decision in their life.
