Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

An Wang said with a face full of confidence: "When this King takes action, what matter is there that cannot be accomplished! You need only handle your own affairs properly."

Upon hearing this, Yan Si instantly understood in his heart, hurriedly cupped his fists in salute and said: "Many thanks for Father King's guidance, this son will certainly keep it in mind." Having spoken, Yan Si turned and left with a heart full of joy, jogging all the way back to his own courtyard.

After entering the courtyard, Yan Si did not pause his steps, but walked straight to the study, intending to calm his mind and carefully plan how to successfully win over Shangguan Peilin. Time hurried by; in the blink of an eye, two days had passed.

On this day, Yan Si went to his family shop to check on business as usual, but today the shop's affairs were not busy, so he finished work early and returned home ahead of time. Stepping through An Wangfu's main gate, Yan Si did not hesitate in the slightest and headed straight for where Shangguan Xingyan resided.

At this moment, Shangguan Xingyan was chatting leisurely with his younger sister Shangguan Xingyu inside the room; the two were conversing very happily. Suddenly, footsteps came from outside the door, immediately followed by the door being gently pushed open, and Yan Si walked in with a smile on his face.

Shangguan Xingyan looked up and saw it was Yan Si, and asked with some surprise: "How come you've returned so early today?" Yan Si walked up quickly, sat steadily on a stool, and replied with a smile: "The shop's affairs have been largely handled, all arrangements are also properly settled; tomorrow we can set off on our journey back to Dongying Guo."

Just as Yan Si was speaking, Shangguan Xingyu had already risen, gracefully poured a full cup of hot tea for Yan Si, and placed it lightly before him. Seeing this, Yan Si hurriedly reached out, picked up the teacup, tilted his head and drank it all in one gulp, only feeling it sweet and fragrant on the palate, tea aroma overflowing; his heart couldn't help but rejoice secretly, and his face beamed with smiles.

Meanwhile Shangguan Xingyan sat to one side, quietly watching Yan Si's appearance of being unable to contain his joy, as if he had gained some tremendous bargain; the corner of his mouth curved slightly upward, revealing a faint smile. Shangguan Xingyan said: "Both of our luggage and belongings have already been packed; tomorrow we can depart directly!"

As he spoke, he clapped his hands lightly and easily; Yan Si said: "My things are easy to pack, just don't know if I need to bring anything extra?" Having finished speaking, he cast his gaze toward Shangguan Xingyan beside him.

Shangguan Xingyan frowned slightly, pondered a moment, then replied: "Hmm... how about you bring some wine? Or tea leaves would also work?" However, Shangguan Xingyu asked with a face full of suspicion: "What do you want to bring those things for?" Yan Si hurriedly explained: "Of course to give as gifts to your father!"

Shangguan Xingyu was even more baffled, and continued to press: "But my father isn't having a birthday!" Yan Si heard this and couldn't help but stare wide-eyed at Shangguan Xingyan, and asked curiously: "Could it be you haven't told her?"

And Shangguan Xingyan also looked back at Yan Si with a blank face, and countered in the same way: "Could it be you also haven't told her?" For a moment, the two actually shouted in unison: "I didn't say!"

Shangguan Xingyu was completely confused by the two of them, could no longer suppress the doubt in her heart, and anxiously interjected: "What exactly do you want to tell me? You two stop beating around the bush!"

Seeing this, Yan Si finally took a deep breath, and slowly said: "Actually, I plan to ask your father for your hand in marriage on this trip back!" As soon as the words fell, Shangguan Xingyu instantly understood, and a look of delighted surprise immediately appeared on her face.

Seeing this, Yan Si hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and pleaded: "So on this trip back, you two must definitely speak well of me in front of your father!"

Shangguan Xingyu agreed without the slightest hesitation: "You just rest assured!" Receiving such a firm reply, Yan Si's hanging heart finally settled down securely. After that, he chatted with the two for a while longer, then rose to take his leave, hurrying back to his own room to continue packing his luggage.

Early the next morning, sunlight fell upon the earth, illuminating the entire Jingcheng. The three packed their baggage and set foot on the journey to Dongying.

The Wangfei, Yan Shuang'er, and Qianqian had waited early at the city gate; they rode in an exquisite and luxurious carriage to see them off. When they saw the three appear, the Wangfei's face showed a trace of reluctance, but she still forced a smile and bid them farewell.

As the sound of horse hooves gradually faded away, the three figures slowly disappeared at the end of the road. Gazing in the direction of their departure, the Wangfei couldn't help but let out a light sigh: "Alas... don't know if Si'er's trip to Dongying this time will succeed or not!" Her heart was full of worry; after all, this journey concerned a major matter.

Yan Shuang'er beside her comforted: "Mother Consort, don't worry too much; Second Brother is clever and resourceful, and possesses extraordinary ability; I believe this trip will certainly go smoothly and open successfully."

And the lively-natured Qianqian chimed in excitedly: "Exactly exactly, Second Elder Brother is so amazing, there definitely won't be any problem! When there's a chance, I also really want to go to Dongying and see what kind of scenery it actually is!"

However, the Wangfei knew clearly in her heart that the two young ladies before her perhaps did not know Yan Si's true purpose for this trip. But she did not say much more, merely shook her head slightly, then signaled the coachman to drive the carriage back to An Wangfu.

Not long after, the carriage slowly entered An Wangfu's main gate. Once they alighted, the Wangfei, Yan Shuang'er, and Qianqian walked straight inside the fu.

After returning to the fu and resting briefly, An Wang ordered his subordinates to summon Qianqian to his study. Before long, Qianqian arrived at the study door with light steps, and knocked gently.

Hearing An Wang's voice from inside telling her to enter, Qianqian pushed the door in and asked with a smile: "Father, what matter brings you to summon your daughter?"

An Wang looked at his clever and quick-witted daughter, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Qianqian, the documents you've handled recently were all done very well; this King is very gratified. Therefore, this King intends to assign you a new task."

Hearing there was a new task, Qianqian immediately perked up, and hurriedly asked curiously: "Oh? What task is it, Father?"

An Wang smiled faintly and replied: "Starting today, you are to spar with Yue Yi, but you cannot use the whip."

Qianqian was seen to stare wide her large, limpid eyes, looking at An Wang with a face full of puzzlement and asking: "Why, Father?"

An Wang replied with a stern face: "You also know that for a Red Belt to promote to a Gold Belt, the only way is to withstand ten moves under this King's hands. Entrusting this matter to you in the future naturally requires exchanging blows with you. So then, with your current such weak martial arts, it definitely won't do!"

Hearing this, Qianqian's little face instantly fell; her originally expectant and excited expression instantly turned dim and lusterless.
