Reincarnation - The Divine Doctor and Stay-at-home Dad-Chapter 969: The Lord of Flame City

Chapter 969 The Lord of Flame City

“Bastard, I will kill you!”

As the Young Master of Flame City, Zhuo Wengong’s life had always been smooth sailing since his youth. He was flattered everywhere he went. When had he ever suffered such a loss?

Faced with continuous setbacks and provocations, his ego fell apart completely. He rushed crazily at Qin Haodong!

“Go to hell!”

A long sword appeared in his palm and it sliced through the air with a sharp sound.

However, his strength was not as good as Qin Haodong’s. Moreover, his mind was now in a mess and he seemed to have lost his sanity.

As soon as Zhuo Wengong’s sword stabbed out, he found out that the shadow at the other side had disappeared. Next, a giant foot appeared in front of his chest.

With a bang, he flew out like a kite on a broken string and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood in the air.

In fact, Qin Haodong had shown mercy to him. Otherwise, this kick would have been enough to send him into the gates of hell.

Zhuo Wengong fell to the ground with a plop. He struggled for a long time before getting up. Then, he shouted with a ferocious expression, “Qin Haodong, you dare to hurt me!”

He Ziwei cried out, “You have no shame!

“Originally, I have successfully chosen a husband but you disagreed with the result and challenged Young Master Qin. You were the one who provoked him time and again. You were the one who was the first to take action after you lost in the competition using hidden weapons. What else do you have to say now?”

“You bitch. You wasted all those years of my sincerity. Just wait. Sooner or later, you will climb onto my bed on your own initiative.”

Zhuo Wengong gnashed his teeth and pointed at Qin Haodong. “And you! You really don’t know what’s good for you. How dare you touch me. I am the Young Lord. You’ll die!”

After that, he turned around and flew toward Lord Mansion.

He Zhong said worriedly, “Young Miss, this guy seems to have gone back to report this to the Lord.”

Joy appeared on He Ziwei’s face. “Forget about him. Let’s return to the mansion, too. My father is waiting for us.”

She turned around and shyly said, “Young Master Qin, come back with me.”

Qin Haodong nodded. Then, he followed He Ziwei and a group of servants back to the He Mansion in Flame City.

Rosefinch Kingdom was more prosperous than Tortoise Kingdom. Flame City was built on a grand scale and had many residents. It was a prosperous and bustling place.

The He Family was the number one family in Flame City. It was said that this family had been around for thousands of years.

The location of their mansion was also at the best site in the city, which was even better than that of Lord Mansion. With carved beams and painted rafters, it was modeled in an ancient and simple style.

After entering the gate of the mansion, he saw a middle-aged man in his fifties or sixties standing with his hands clasped behind his back. He was the current family master of the He Family, He Changqing.

Today was the day of choosing the destined one for his daughter, so he attached great importance to it. He had been waiting here for the result.

“Master, we’re back!”

He Zhong walked in with He Ziwei and Qin Haodong.

Qin Haodong glanced at He Changqing. This geezer had reached the late stage of the Combination Realm.

He Ziwei took He Changqing’s hand and whispered, “Father, this is Qin Haodong, Young Master Qin. He’s also the destined one that the marriage mouse chose for me.”

He Changqing looked Qin Haodong from head to toe. Then, he nodded with satisfaction. “Not bad, young man. You’re a fine-looking man. No wonder you were chosen by the marriage mouse.”

Next, he asked, “Why did this process take so long?”

“It’s like this, Master…”

He Zhong let the rest of the family members out of the room. Only He Changqing, He Ziwei, Qin Haodong and him were in the room. Then, he told He Changqing how Zhuo Wengong set out to make trouble with them and challenged Qin Haodong.

After he finished speaking, He Ziwei said, “Father, that Zhuo Wengong is too annoying. He pestered us endlessly. Fortunately, Young Master Qin defeated him.”

After hearing that, the smile on He Changqing’s face quickly disappeared. With a serious expression, he asked, “You mean to say Little Qin not only obtained victory in the challenge but also wounded Zhuo Wengong in the process?”

“Yes! But it’s Zhuo Wen’s fault,” He Ziwei angrily said. “I tried to dissuade him several times from going ahead with the challenge and even asked him to quit halfway, but he didn’t listen at all.

“If it weren’t for the fact that he is the son of the Lord, I would bring him back to be my servant!”

He Changqing didn’t say anything. He placed his hands behind his back and paced around the room with a serious expression.

Seeing him like this, He Ziwei said, “Father, you don’t have to be so nervous. It was Zhuo Wengong’s fault. It had nothing to do with us.”

He Changqing stopped and replied, “Your assessment is too shallow. Do you think that Zhuo Wengong’s pursuit of you all these years is just his personal goal? Do you think he only wants to marry you and bring you into the Lord Mansion?”

“Isn’t that the case?” He Ziwei asked. Her face was full of shock.

He Changqing shook his head and said, “Zhuo Wengong might just want to marry you, but Zhuo Wangsun’s goal is to annex our entire He Family.

“He has been eyeing us for a long time. Our He Family has existed for thousands of years and has a great influence in Flame City, so that is why he did not directly take action.

“You’re my only daughter, so Zhuo Wangsun wants his son to pursue you and then annex our He Family when he becomes the son-in-law of our He Family.”

He Ziwei said, “It doesn’t matter even if that’s the case. Zhuo Wengong failed today. I have Young Master Qin now. Their plan will never come to fruition in the future.”

However, He Changqing’s expression was grave. He said, “Zhuo Wangsun is an extremely greedy person. He won’t give up so easily. Since his plan did not work, he’ll definitely have to use force.

“Today, Little Qin injured Zhuo Wengong, which gave him a reason to take action. I think Lord Mansion will take action against our He Family soon.”

Hearing this, Qin Haodong sighed in his heart. He had thought that he was just an innocent party in this event. However, he didn’t expect to get into so much trouble.

He Ziwei said, “How is that possible? Father, aren’t you worrying too much?

“Our He Family is the number one family in Flame City, with a heritage of several thousand years. Moreover, my Second Uncle is in Rosefinch City. I don’t think Zhuo Wangsun will make a move against us.

“Besides, even if he dares to make a move, there are many masters in our He Family. Are we afraid of him?”

He Changqing said, “Zhuo Wangsun will definitely not let this matter go so easily. Although the He Family is powerful, we cannot fight against the Lord. If we act recklessly, we will still suffer in the end.”

Qin Haodong frowned slightly. He felt that the geezer didn’t seem to be telling the whole truth. At least, there were still some things that appeared to have been kept secret.

He Ziwei asked, “Then, what should we do?”

He Changqing thought for a moment and said, “Let’s head to Rosefinch City now.

“No matter how powerful Zhuo Wangsun is, his power is limited to Flame City. After we arrive at Rosefinch City, I’m afraid he won’t be able to make any trouble because of your Second Uncle.”

“Father, are we leaving now? Isn’t it too hasty?”

He Ziwei really didn’t want to leave in such a hurry. After all, today was the day of choosing her destined one.

According to the tradition of Flame City, since her destined one had already been chosen, she and Qin Haodong would have to enter the bridal chamber at night.

“We have to leave now. Moreover, we have to act fast. Otherwise, it might be too late.”

He Changqing was extremely decisive. He turned around and said to He Zhong, “I’ll let you manage the He Mansion for now. I’ll go with Ziwei to Rosefinch City. We will come back in a few days.”

He Zhong said, “Don’t worry, Master. I will take good care of our family.”

He Changqing nodded and said to He Ziwei and Qin Haodong, “We’re leaving right now.”

He Ziwei said, “Father, don’t you need to bring more people?”

He Changqing said, “No need. The three of us will be only a small group, so we can’t be easily discovered.

“This is Flame City, Zhuo Wangsun’s territory. If there is too much movement within our family and too many people leaving, I’m afraid it will immediately attract his attention.”

He Ziwei nodded. “Alright! I’ll listen to you.”

He Changqing arranged for a carriage. The three of them sat in the carriage and left the city. Then, they rose into the air, stepped on their flying swords, and flew toward Rosefinch City.

Qin Haodong found it funny. He just became the husband of He Ziwei, and now he was running away. What was going on?!

However, it was a good thing for him to go to Rosefinch City. His current goal was to find a chance to enter Rosefinch Spiritual Spring. It was better for him to go to Rosefinch City. It would be best if he could find the exact location of the Rosefinch Spiritual Spring.

Moreover, judging from the conversation between the father and daughter, He Ziwei’s Second Uncle seemed to have a high status in Rosefinch City. Perhaps, her Second Uncle could be of some help to his plan.

He Ziwei said, “Father, we have left. Will he attack our family members?”

“Definitely not,” He Changqing said. “As long as we are alive, the He Family won’t fall. If he makes a rash move, he’ll only bring trouble to himself.

“Thus, they would be safer if we leave them.

“But I have a bad feeling now. I’m afraid that the old geezer Zhuo Wangsun won’t let us go so easily. We have to speed up.”

Among the three of them, He Changqing was at the late stage of the Combination Realm. Qin Haodong and He Ziwei were at the early stage of the Combination Realm. They flew very fast. After a few hours, they had flown far away from the boundary of Flame City.

He Ziwei said, “Father, we’re already 5,000 kilometers away from Flame City. I think you might be overthinking it. Maybe Zhuo Wangsun doesn’t have that idea at all.”

He Changqing frowned. “That shouldn’t be the case. It’s the nature of Zhuo Wangsun to attack us.”

“Ha, ha, ha, ha! Geezer He, you really understand me!”

With a burst of wild laughter, dozens of figures suddenly appeared in front of them.

The leader was a middle-aged man about 50 years old and clad in a luxurious robe. He was fat and looked very amiable, but his eyes shone with a harsh light.

He was the Lord of Flame City, Zhuo Wangsun. Beside him was Zhuo Wengong whose face was still pale. It seemed that he had been kicked hard by Qin Haodong.

The father and son were followed by 30 men in black. All of them had reached the stage of the Combination Realm. Their bodies were full of powerful momentum.

Zhuo Wangsun looked at He Changqing and said, “Family Master He, where are you going in such a hurry?”

He Changqing said, “Your Excellency, as you know that today is the wedding day of my daughter.

“Ziwei’s luck is good. She found a good son-in-law for me. I’m going to take the two of them to Rosefinch City to see my second brother.”

“Really? I have this feeling that you guys are running away,” Zhuo Wangsun said. “I don’t care about your daughter’s wedding, but that boy injured my son. He has to give me an explanation!”
