First Volume_Chapter 566 Hengxing Badou

Qin Feng observed the man in white clothes without expression.

Although the man in white clothes had bowed his head, his fists were clenched tightly, veins bulging.

His heavy breathing sounded like a beast on the verge of explosion, ready to pounce at any moment and tear Qin Feng to shreds.

As the saying goes, leave a thread when doing things, so you may meet again later.

But Qin Feng refused to!

He wanted Jingdu, even all of Liang, to know that anyone who provoked him would pay a terrible price.

Only by being ruthless himself could his relatives, friends, and the common folk of Beixi County live in peace.

The more furious the man in white clothes became, the more delighted Qin Feng felt.

He loved seeing the man in white clothes resent him yet be powerless to strike back.

The Guest Hall faced directly toward the Qin Family Gate.

Outside the slightly ajar door, shadows loomed.

Clearly, the man in white clothes had not come alone—he was accompanied by some lackeys.

What happened here would reach Li Qian's ears in an instant.

Qin Feng picked up his Tea Cup and said calmly, "This is not the attitude of an apology."

"If His Highness the Second Prince does not even understand basic hospitality, then perhaps you should skip this Birthday Banquet."

"Or is this Birthday Banquet… really a Hongmen Banquet?"

The man in white clothes gritted his molars, the sound sharp and grinding.

Hospitality? His Highness the Second Prince is a Prince, the designated Crown Prince.

In this Jingdu, among Marquises, Generals, and Ministers, who among them does not tread lightly before His Highness?

This Qin Feng is merely a Marquis—how dare he challenge His Highness?

He deserves to die!

But…

This Birthday Banquet is the only chance to bring down Qin Feng; if this opportunity is missed, His Highness may lose the Crown Prince position.

Little patience ruins great plans!

The man in white clothes clenched his teeth, his knees buckling, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

"This humble servant was impolite; I beg Lord Qin to show mercy and overlook this lowly one's transgression."

"I beg your pardon."

As he spoke, the man in white clothes bowed his head and knocked three times.

The servants hiding outside the door, witnessing the man in white clothes kneel and bow, all widened their eyes in shock.

The man in white clothes is the Second Prince's trusted personal attendant.

Now, facing Qin Feng, he endures such humiliation—has Jingdu truly begun to change?

In an instant, gasps and exclamations rose in waves.

"Heaven, the man in white clothes… actually knelt and bowed? I'd never believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes."

"It seems the rumors are true—Qin Feng's power has grown so immense that no one can stand against him."

"Who would have thought Qin Feng doesn't even fear His Highness the Second Prince!"

"This man in white clothes is foolish too—if Qin Feng won't attend, just report back to His Highness. Why endure such disgrace?"

"A scholar would rather die than be humiliated—if it were me, I'd have charged forward and cut Qin Feng down!"

"Exactly—looks like the man in white clothes isn't so impressive after all, just a bully who picks on the weak."

Hearing the waves of mockery behind him,

the man in white clothes felt the Disgrace of a lifetime, but to fulfill His Highness's Great Plan, he had no choice but this desperate move.

Watching the man in white clothes endure humiliation with hatred, Qin Feng sneered inwardly.

How proud had the man in white clothes once been?

Today, to force Qin Feng to attend this so-called Birthday Banquet, he was willing to kneel and be humiliated.

Anyone with half a brain could see this so-called Birthday Banquet was nothing but Li Qian's Hongmen Banquet.

Knowing the mountain holds tigers, yet deliberately walking toward them.

He wanted to see what tricks Li Qian could pull.

Qin Feng set down his Tea Cup, rose, and walked beside the man in white clothes, reaching out to pat his head.

This gesture was another crushing blow to the man in white clothes' dignity.

As the saying goes, a man's head, a woman's waist.

Such a seemingly gentle act as stroking the head was in fact deeply humiliating.

Qin Feng could clearly hear the man in white clothes' breathing grow heavier with rage.

"Since His Highness shows such sincerity, this Marquis is not an unreasonable man."

"Go back and tell His Highness—on the day of the Birthday Banquet, I shall bring a grand gift and attend to offer my congratulations."

The man in white clothes took a deep breath, forcing down the boundless fury within him.

He bowed his head once more in thanks.

"Thank you, Lord Qin, for your forbearance."

"Your humble servant takes his leave."

The man in white clothes stood, head still bowed, and turned to leave.

As he stepped past the Qin Family Gate, his Sword was already drawn—he cut down the servants outside who had been whispering.

Blood sprayed, heads fell to the ground.

The White Clothes man's face turned ashen; his piercing gaze swept over the remaining servants in the hall.

The others were terrified, not daring to even breathe.

Only now did they understand: the White Clothes man had bowed to Qin Feng only because Qin Feng's momentum was simply too overwhelming.

It did not mean others could also treat the White Clothes man with impunity.

He was still the Second Prince's confidant, the most feared presence in all of Jingdu.

"Qin Feng, today's humiliation—I will repay you tenfold, a hundredfold!"

The White Clothes man ignored the corpse on the ground and left without looking back.

The moment the White Clothes man departed, Qin Tianhu returned.

Although the corpses had been cleared away, the bloodstains at the entrance remained glaringly visible.

Qin Tianhu frowned slightly and hurried into DaTang.

He saw Qin Feng leisurely sipping tea, with Li Qian's Birthday Banquet Invitation Card beside the table.

Qin Tianhu immediately understood what had happened.

"Feng'er, I naturally support your desire to establish authority."

"But everything has its limit; no matter what, the Second Prince is of noble rank—if you persist in antagonizing him, trouble will never end."

"Already, the official circles of Jingdu are spreading word that you and the Second Prince have become irreconcilable enemies."

"If this continues, you won't just be drawn into the Shu Wei Zhi Zheng—you may become an outright enemy of the Beixi County War Hero."

Since Qin Feng returned to Beijing, Qin Tianhu had remained low-key.

Watching Qin Feng's disturbances grow ever larger, even Qin Tianhu, with his deep reserve, could no longer stand it.

Qin Feng knew, of course, that Qin Tianhu had his best interests at heart.

But the conflicts and interests in this capital could no longer be resolved by avoidance.

There was no choice left but to confront them head-on.

Qin Feng rose and gestured for Qin Tianhu to take the Upper Seat, then sat himself deliberately in the Lower Seat.

This small gesture pleased Qin Tianhu greatly.

No matter how fierce Qin Feng appeared outside, even bordering on madness,

once he returned home, he became the Qin Family's son—unusually respectful and patient toward his family.

Even Qin Tianhu couldn't tell whether the boy had remained true to his original nature—or had undergone a radical change…

Until he saw Qin Feng plop down on the chair, legs crossed, his entire body slumped back against the chairback.

Sitting like a common ruffian, with none of the Marquis's bearing.

Only then did Qin Tianhu realize: this brat… was still the same little rascal he'd always been.

"Father, just watch—before long, the Second Prince will be finished."
