"Who is this?" Xia Kun asked curiously seeing that Qin Ming was only bringing a young man with him.

"He is the only elder brother of the Huayu Sect." Qin Ming smiled and patted Yang Shu on the back.

"So young?" Xia Kun nodded with a smile and praised, "It's not bad that a hero is a boy."

In this cheerful atmosphere, everyone sat down talking and laughing, chatting while eating and drinking.

After chatting for a while, the atmosphere was already very lively. Xia Kun asked jokingly, "Qin Ming heard that you are in your twenties. Is there any woman you like? Do you want me to introduce you?"

The girl sitting across from Qin Ming was a little nervous, looking at Qin Ming with anticipation in her eyes, stirring the corners of her skirt with her hands under the table involuntarily.

Hearing Xia Kun's words, Qin Ming was a little dazed. Xia Kun is a martial artist and the patriarch of the royal family, how could he suddenly care about his private affairs.

Moreover, he is only in his twenties, for a martial artist of his strength, it is never too late to get married.

Suddenly, Qin Ming glanced at the girl in the purple skirt opposite, and instantly sensed the girl's nervousness. He sighed slightly in his heart. He already knew why Xia Kun would ask such a question.

Slightly depressed, Qin Ming tried his best to euphemistically say, "I'm still young, and I've never thought about such a thing. My ambition is martial arts. I don't intend to think about it until I reach the peak of martial arts."

Hearing Qin Ming's words, the girl's eyes that could speak became dim, and her eyelashes were wet with bean-sized tears. She quickly lowered her head and covered her mouth with her hands to hide her emotions.

Sighing slightly in his heart, Qin Ming felt a little helpless, this girl was extremely beautiful, and the moment he saw her, he was also attracted by her charming posture.

However, after all, it was just attraction, pure beauty, and he didn't feel any emotion at all.

In order to hurt the other party less, we can only cut the mess quickly, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

"Ambition." Seemingly not understanding what Qin Ming said, Xia Kun raised his wine glass and said loudly, "Drink for the sake of reaching the pinnacle of martial arts."

Picking up the wine glass, he lifted it lightly, and Qin Ming drank it down in one gulp.

After drinking this glass of wine, the awkward atmosphere just now disappeared. Except for the young girl who tried her best to hide her loss and sadness, this banquet seemed to be the same as the beginning.

An hour later, Qin Ming and Yang Shu left the palace under the escort of everyone.

Watching Qin Ming go away, Xia Nuoxue stood at the gate of the palace, staring at it for a long time.

"Sister Nuo Xue, Qin Ming's ambition is obviously not here, so don't be too sad." Sighing lightly, the Seventh Prince comforted.

Xia Nuoxue shook her head, did not speak, and walked towards the palace, her back was a little lonely and desolate.

...

Riding on the chasing cloud dragon, Qin Ming and Yang Shu soon came to Shicheng, the headquarters of Huayu Sect.

The once-abandoned headquarters has now been reopened. Not only that, but now many new pavilions have been built, and the scenery is more beautiful than before.

Right now, all Huayu Sect disciples are busy, not touching the ground.

They are preparing for Huayuzong's re-emergence and vigorous expansion.

After all, with the current Huayu Sect's manpower, it is definitely not enough to manage this huge territory. We can only recruit warriors and redistribute personnel.

The Great Xia Dynasty is so big that it cannot be arranged in a day or two.
