Chapter 89 I need to rest, didn't you hear me?
Liangzhou City, Liuquan Inn.
As always, this largest and most luxurious inn in the entire Liangzhou city was filled with guests from all over the country after nightfall.
Liu Feier of the Liu family wore a plain white dress, her breasts were high and full, her makeup was exquisite, and her eyes and brows were full of charm. Several jade ornaments made her skin look as white as snow.
She sat in the lobby on the first floor, near the stairs, her figure hidden by a screen; otherwise, all the guests in the lobby would have been staring at her.
Two guards stood outside the screen, keeping watch and protecting him.
She was facing the bronze mirror on the table, still fixing her makeup to ensure it was perfect.
A very important guest will be checking into the inn today.
She was told this news by He Shiyan, the young master of the Liangzhou governor. Shen Tiannan, the peerless genius ranked first among the true disciples of the Jizhou Martial Arts Hall, was traveling around and would be resting here today.
She is twenty-one years old this year.
This age is not young, even for a daughter of a prominent family.
She naturally wanted to get married, but she looked down on ordinary people, even ordinary martial artists.
The Liu family has a sword master who is hard to beat even in the Visceral Realm. Normally, all the major Visceral Realm families and forces treat her with utmost respect.
That's why she would never just marry anyone.
Her husband not only had to be a martial arts genius, but his background also couldn't be inferior to the Liu family.
Shen Tiannan meets this condition.
Although he was seven years older than her and less attractive, he was the direct grandson of the Martial Saint of the Xuanbing Sect, a genuine member of a Martial Saint family.
This is the target she's looking for.
Once married into such a family, with a husband of unlimited potential and a powerful martial arts clan as a backer, one can not only give back to one's maternal clan, but also enjoy a life of high status, wealth, and honor in the second half of life.
Even though she wasn't a martial artist, as a direct descendant of the Martial Saint family, even a martial artist as strong as the Visceral Realm would have to show her respect.
Unfortunately, there aren't many families in the entire Great Yan with a Martial Saint in charge. She hadn't considered it before. She had secretly contacted both Martial Saint families of the Hun Tian Sect, but for some reason, her beauty, which she was so proud of, couldn't move the hearts of the young masters of the two families, and she failed every time.
For this reason, she even tried to get her grandfather, Liu Qing, to help her propose marriage. However, her grandfather always favored the boy named Mo Zheng and wanted her to be with him all the time, so he was unwilling to help at all.
But what good is talent if you come from a poor family?
Is it possible to become a Martial Saint?
"Haha, today was truly enjoyable! Brother Shen, you have an incredible capacity for alcohol!"
"Indeed, Young Master Shen is a master of drinking; he's gotten most of us drunk. Look, only a few of us are left here."
.
A cacophony of voices could be heard outside, their tones filled with flattery and fawning.
"Miss, the person has arrived."
The guard outside whispered.
Upon hearing this, a look of nervousness appeared on Liu Feier's beautiful face. She gritted her teeth, having made up her mind, and forced out a natural smile. She then pulled back the screen and walked towards the outer room.
Coincidentally, they bumped into Shen Tiannan, who was surrounded by several scions of prominent families.
Throughout the inn's lobby, everyone's attention was drawn to the suddenly appearing slender figure, especially the guests at the nearby tables. They were completely captivated by the enchanting fragrance wafting towards them, their eyes burning with desire as they stared at the woman in the white dress, their minds filled with fantasies.
The group of people who entered naturally noticed the beautiful woman with a radiant face and a high, firm bust, and stared at her intently.
Upon seeing the group, Liu Feier's beautiful eyes flashed with delight, revealing the surprise of bumping into old acquaintances. She asked sweetly, "Brother He, Young Master Wang, what are you all doing here?"
"Hahaha, I was wondering why such a beauty suddenly appeared in our Liangzhou City. It turns out she's the Liu family's daughter," a slightly plump young man with a square face said with a smile.
"Young lady Liu is even more beautiful than before!" another young man with a horse-like face exclaimed.
Liangzhou City is only so big, so the scions of noble families will all become somewhat familiar with each other.
He Shiyan was also in the crowd; he was sent by his father to escort Shen Tiannan back to the inn to rest.
Upon seeing Liu Feier, he couldn't take his eyes off her and said happily, "What a coincidence, Feier! I didn't expect to run into you here. I've come to see Brother Shen off to rest."
Shen Tiannan was tall with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and had an extraordinary demeanor. However, a black spot the size of a fist on his left cheek ruined his overall appearance and made him look extremely ugly.
He glanced at Liu Feier, then at He Shiyan, and frowned slightly, saying, "And this is—"
"Oh, I forgot to introduce you, Brother Shen. This is Fei'er. Didn't you say you wanted to visit the sword master in Liangzhou City today? Fei'er's grandfather is the famous Silver Lightning Sword Master Liu Qing."
At this point, He Shiyan looked at Liu Feier again and said, "Sister Feier, this is the brother Shen Tiannan, the number one martial arts genius in Jizhou, whom I mentioned to you before."
"Greetings, Brother Shen."
Liu Feier said sweetly, her smile growing even sweeter, captivating everyone around her.
"No need to be so polite. I've long heard of Senior Liu Qing's reputation. I never imagined his granddaughter would be so beautiful," Shen Tiannan praised.
"Brother Shen, you flatter me."
Liu Feier lowered her head shyly, a blush rising on her delicate face, making her uniquely charming and alluring.
He Shiyan stared wide-eyed, but Shen Tiannan remained unmoved.
If it were an ordinary woman, he would definitely want to find her and have some fun. But he had heard of the reputation of Liu Qing, the Silver Light Swordsman. Even with his family background and status, he wouldn't dare to make any rash moves on Liu Qing's granddaughter.
"Brother Shen and everyone else are quite drunk. The Six Yang Spirit Tea at Liuquan Inn is excellent for warming the body and relieving hangovers. Why don't I offer you all a cup?" Liu Feier said softly, looking at Shen Tiannan with concern.
"No need, we martial artists can handle this much wine. Let them decide who wants it; I'm going back to my room to rest."
Having said that, he immediately strode towards the stairs.
"Brother Shen, wait a minute—"
Liu Feier had come specifically for Shen Tiannan, and when he was about to leave, she became anxious. Why was he still drinking tea? She immediately called out to stop him.
"Um?"
Shen Tiannan suddenly turned around, his face turning cold, his eyes fixed on Liu Feier, his expression full of authority.
"I need to rest, didn't you hear me?"
A sharp aura suddenly enveloped Liu Feier. In a daze, Liu Feier felt as if a sharp sword was pressed against her neck, and she couldn't help but shiver.
She nodded, her voice trembling, "I heard it—I heard it."
Shen Tiannan didn't say anything more, turned around and went up the stairs, quickly disappearing around the corner.
Liu Feier watched this scene helplessly, her heart sinking to the bottom.
Her carefully planned serendipitous encounter failed just like that?
Shen Tiannan showed absolutely no interest in her; in fact, he treated her coldly.
Her appearance and her family were completely ignored by the other party.
A huge sense of frustration rose in her heart, but she quickly suppressed it.
The defeat is only temporary, and Shen Tiannan is not the only descendant of the Martial Saint family.
"If I had given up so easily, I wouldn't have waited until today. The true disciples of the Liangzhou Martial Arts Academy, the scions of these powerful families—which one of them wouldn't be at my disposal?"
Liu Feier was proud and arrogant. She looked down on the husbands she could choose at will, precisely because they were obtained too easily.
When the other young men from prominent families saw Shen Tiannan go up, they knew that Liu Feier didn't think much of them, so they didn't greet him and dispersed.
Only He Shiyan, the young master of the governor's mansion, looked tenderly at Liu Feier's beautiful face and said, "Sister Feier, none of them want to go for tea, let's go together."
"Brother He, I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well. Let's do it another day."
Liu Feier refused decisively, called out to the two guards, and walked outside.
However, He Shiyan showed no anger whatsoever. Instead, he chased after her, asking with concern, "Where do you feel unwell? Did you catch a cold? How about I have someone send some medicine to your house tomorrow?"
"I'm a little tired. Goodbye, Brother He." Liu Feier didn't even turn her head, leaving only her back to He Shiyan.
However, just as she reached the carriage, she heard someone say, "You're so heartless, sister."
Through the carriage curtain, a beautiful face, both joyful and reproachful, was revealed. A plum blossom mark between her brows added a touch of charm.
It was indeed Liu Rou.
"elder sister----"
Liu Feier called out, a look of joy appearing on her pretty face. She immediately got into the carriage and said, "Let's go back to the manor."
"yes!"
The coachman responded and immediately spurred the horse forward.
Seeing this, Liu Rou said, "Sister, look at Young Master He, he's still staring at you longingly. Are you really so heartless as to not even offer him a cup of tea?"
"Sister Rou, please don't laugh at me."
Liu Feier gently shook her head and said, "Neither I nor he have the talent to cultivate martial arts. If we were to be together, how would we live in the future?"
"It's just a pity that Young Master He is so devoted—"
"Don't mention him."
Liu Feier didn't want to delve into this topic. She had many sycophants like He Shiyan, but his status as the governor's son made him stand out. If he were also a martial arts genius, Liu Feier might have given him a second thought.
"My sister suddenly came to see me; I wonder what brings her here?"
"What else could it be but marriage? At your age, Grandpa is quite worried. He wants me to talk to you about his good disciple, Mo Zheng."
Liu Rou said with a grin, "Fei'er, since this young master of the Shen family doesn't think much of you, why not consider him? Our Junior Brother Mo's martial arts talent is extraordinary. Did you know that he has already passed the fourth level of the Tower of Ascension and achieved the position of a true disciple?"
"To have achieved this in just over three years of training is something even Lan Jun, the master of the Deadly Spear, cannot match. Reaching the Visceral Realm in the future is a sure thing."
He became a true disciple in just over three years?
Liu Feier didn't pay much attention to the Liangzhou Martial Arts Academy, but her family's academic background made her understand its significance; Mo Zheng was definitely a promising talent.
Her cherry lips parted slightly, clearly surprised, but she quickly shook her head and sighed, "What a pity, what a pity—"
"What's a pity?" Liu Rou asked curiously.
"It's a pity he comes from an ordinary background, otherwise, Grandpa probably wouldn't have been keeping an eye on me all this time, and he would have been a perfect match for my sister!" Liu Feier chuckled.
"You little brat, talking nonsense, you deserve a beating!"
Liu Rou reached out and tickled Liu Feier's armpits. Liu Feier immediately begged for mercy, and a series of silvery laughter filled the carriage, creating an atmosphere of boundless spring.
After a long while, the two finished playing around and tidied their clothes. Liu Rou then said, "Let's get down to business. Grandpa sent me to ask him some questions. You need to give me an answer, whether it works out or not."
"Sister, don't you know me?"
Liu Feier shook her head and said, "Let's just be frank with Grandpa, I'm not willing. A disciple from a poor family, without family support or sufficient resources, how easy is it to reach the Visceral Realm? He might just die a violent death one day."
"If I'm going to marry, I'll marry into a family of martial saints or a direct descendant of the royal family. As for others, unless they are martial artists who have truly achieved the Visceral Realm, I won't even look at them."
She couldn't see Mo Zheng clearly at all.
So what if he's a true disciple? So what if he has unlimited potential?
If one fails to achieve mastery of the internal organs even in a single day, it may mean that one will never achieve it in their lifetime.
If she wanted to settle, Liangzhou City has many true disciples born and graduated every year, including many from prominent families; she would have married long ago.
Her goal has always been clear: the Martial Saint Family. She is not a martial artist, but by leveraging the power of the Martial Saint Family and her husband's strength, she can still make even a master of the Visceral Realm bow down.
This is the final destination for a daughter.
Unfortunately, Shen Tiannan didn't give her a single chance.
Thinking of this, Liu Feier couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment.
To be honest, after being rejected so many times, she was starting to waver a little.
"You little rascal, you're really greedy. You want both family background and power. Where can I find someone like you?" Liu Rou teased.
"Sister, aren't you the same?" Liu Feier retorted, "Back then, Grandpa told you about several martial artists who all had the potential to reach the Internal Organs Realm, but their family backgrounds were slightly inferior, so you rejected them all, didn't you?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Rou laughed again.
That's true. She and Liu Feier are the same kind of people, wanting to use the Liu family as a stepping stone to marry into a better family.
Women admire strength; this is to be expected.
"Sometimes, I really envy you, sister. You can cultivate martial arts, live a long life, and wait until you graduate to slowly choose a husband."
Liu Feier was somewhat saddened. She said, "I'm not young anymore. If I haven't achieved my goal in two years, I'll listen to Grandpa and find someone like Mo Zheng to settle down with for the rest of my life."
A martial artist at the Bone and Tendon Realm can live to be 150 years old. Although their Qi and blood decline after the age of 40, as long as they take good care of themselves and do not suffer any major injuries, they can still live to that age without illness or disaster.
Liu Feier has no martial arts talent. Even with a lot of resources, she can only reach the flesh and skin realm, which is far less than the lifespan of a martial artist in the tendon and bone realm.
"There's no rush. Junior Brother Mo Zheng will graduate in five years, so there's plenty of time."
Liu Rou comforted her, saying, "In any case, daughters of the Liu family have no trouble getting married. We can take it slow."
