TRWSB – Chapter 175 Princess Seeking a Husband

Qi Heng handed the order in his hand to Qi Shaorong and said, “Young Master, His Majesty has ordered you to return to the imperial capital to report.”

Qi Shaorong casually threw the order aside and lazily reclined in the rocking chair, muttering, “Our dear monarch really knows how to think of ways to mess with me!”

Although Qi Shaorong had been prepared ever since Tang Tianfeng left, he still felt a little displeased upon receiving the order so quickly.

“You don’t like it here, do you? Returning to the imperial capital is a good thing,” Qi Heng smiled and said.

Qi Shaorong pursed his lips and said, “If His Majesty had asked me to return to enjoy life, I would be happy, but of course, he’s asking me to go back. Who knows how he’s going to make me suffer?”

Zhuang Hao, looking at Qi Shaorong, said enthusiastically, “Shaorong, don’t worry, I’ll protect you.”

Qi Shaorong looked at Zhuang Hao and replied irritably, “If you weren’t in such a rush to show off your abilities, I wouldn’t have to move so urgently.”

Zhuang Hao nonchalantly said, “This damn place isn’t good for anything, smells like sea fish, and the people aren’t friendly either.”

Qi Shaorong: “…”

As Qi Shaorong and Zhuang Hao were talking, Bi Liuyun and Hailing walked in.

“Young Master Zhuang, Young Master Qi,” Hailing greeted.

Bi Liuyun frowned and looked at Qi Shaorong, saying quietly, “Young Master, are you leaving?”

Qi Shaorong nodded and said, “Yes.”

Bi Liuyun sighed, a hint of reluctance flashing across his face.

“Liuyun, your abilities have improved a lot!” Qi Shaorong changed the topic.

Bi Liuyun nodded, saying, “Yes! I’ve improved a lot.” With guidance from a Sea Dragon clan expert, Bi Liuyun’s progress had been rapid. “A few days ago, an elder from the mermaid clan insisted on asking me for the Sea King Trident, so I cut off his tail and kicked him out.”

Qi Shaorong: “…” This guy really is brutal!

Bi Liuyun put his hands on his hips and nodded proudly, “After I cut that old man’s tail, fewer people came to bother me.”

Qi Shaorong looked at Bi Liuyun and said, “Liuyun, you’re really amazing!”

“Not bad, not bad,” Bi Liuyun casually replied.

Zhuang Hao looked at Hailing and said, “Hailing, Shaorong and I will probably be leaving in a few days.”

“Safe travels!”

“Has the wedding date between Hailing and Biqin been set?” Zhuang Hao asked.

Hailing shook his head, “Not yet.”

“That’s a pity. I was thinking of staying to drink your wedding wine, but now it looks like I might have to wait for a chance later,” Zhuang Hao sighed.

Hailing smiled, “It’s fine, Young Master Zhuang. If you and Qi Shaorong get married, make sure to let me know.”

“Of course, of course,” Zhuang Hao replied.

“Young Master Zhuang, you have to work hard! Don’t make me wait ten or eight years only to end up attending Qi Shaorong’s wedding with someone else,” Hailing patted Zhuang Hao’s shoulder with sincere advice.

Zhuang Hao: “…”

Qi Shaorong rolled his eyes at the “friendly exchange” between Zhuang Hao and Hailing.

The story continues with Qi Shaorong returning to the imperial capital, first stopping by the Tianlan Academy to meet his teacher, Hu Feng, who is happy to see him back. They discuss the situation in the academy, including Qi Shaorong’s former achievements and the donations from Yi Fan.

Later, Hu Feng mentions the news of a peace negotiation at the front lines and the upcoming marriage of Princess Yue Ting of the Yun Kingdom, who is holding a contest for suitors to fetch the Red Cherry Blossom from the Rad Mountain Range. This dangerous task has sparked a lot of interest, but it’s clear that many suitors may not survive the journey. Qi Shaorong also learns that His Majesty might send him to help the Fourth Prince with this task.

The conversation shifts to Qi Shaorong’s interaction with Yi Fan, who jokingly talks about his honeymoon plans with Bi Liuyun, only for Qi Shaorong to remind him that he may be sent away soon due to the situation with His Majesty. The focus then turns to the challenges at the front lines and the upcoming dangerous journey to Rad Mountain Range.
