At noon, Qin Hanchu and the other five arrived at the Imperial Grand Hotel again.
As the Champion Marquis, Qin Hanchu was naturally qualified to entertain guests here.
Not long after they were seated, Wan Tong walked in with Qin Yun and Jin Hailu.
"Let me introduce you, this is my elder sister, Qin Yun!"
"Sis, these few are..."
After Qin Hanchu's introduction, both parties had a basic understanding of each other.
After being seated, Qin Hanchu looked at Lin Ying and said, "Why are you so reserved? This isn't like your personality."
Xue Lingxian smiled and said, "When a sister-in-law meets a sister-in-law, of course there's pressure."
Hearing this, Lin Ying's pretty face turned red. She said, "How am I reserved?"
Qin Yun smiled and said, "There's no need to be strangers. Since you can be good friends with Hanchu, we will definitely become good girlfriends too."
Although they said so, Jin Hailu and Lin Ying were still a bit stiff.
In contrast, Xin Xin, Xiao Han, and Xue Lingxian were much more relaxed.
They were not betrothed to Qin Hanchu, so they were more at ease.
As for Tang Siwei, she had known Qin Yun before, so she didn't feel constrained.
After a few rounds of drinks, the waiter outside the room suddenly walked in.
"Marquis, the Divine Sword Marquis wishes to meet you," the waiter said respectfully.
Divine Sword Marquis?
"Li Jian and Xuan Jian are under his charge," Wan Tong explained from the side.
Qin Hanchu nodded, then got up and left with the waiter.
The Imperial Grand Hotel had a dedicated reception room.
Led by the waiter, Qin Hanchu arrived there.
Entering the reception room, he saw two men around sixty years old sitting inside.
Seeing Qin Hanchu enter, the two did not react much.
Qin Hanchu chuckled and asked, "Which one is the Divine Sword Marquis?"
"I am," the Divine Sword Marquis said indifferently.
"The Divine Sword Marquis asked me to come, what is the reason?" Qin Hanchu asked.
"Seeing this Prince, don't you know to bow?" At this moment, Prince Meng, who was beside the Divine Sword Marquis, spoke.
A prince's title was one level higher than a marquis. According to etiquette, Qin Hanchu should indeed have cupped his hands in greeting.
Qin Hanchu calmly said, "I'm sorry, I don't know you. And no one told me there was a prince here."
"This is Prince Meng," the Divine Sword Marquis said.
"Prince Meng?" Qin Hanchu chuckled, "Nice to meet you. Your son and I have a very close relationship."
"A close relationship?" Prince Meng's mouth twitched, "I remember you were the one beating him."
"It doesn't matter, I don't mind these things," Qin Hanchu smiled and continued, "Prince Meng, you didn't come to see me just to avenge your son, did you?"
Qin Hanchu's words and actions made Prince Meng very displeased.
"You don't mind, but I do!" Prince Meng said angrily, "You hit my son, you should at least apologize."
"If I don't apologize, what can you do to me?" The expressions of these two clearly meant no good intentions, so Qin Hanchu decided not to give them a good look.
If they wanted to intimidate Qin Hanchu, these two were not qualified.
"Arrogant! How dare you be so arrogant and overbearing in front of me!" Prince Meng slammed the table and said angrily.
Qin Hanchu smiled indifferently, "What? Does Prince Meng want to fight me?"
Prince Meng stared coldly at Qin Hanchu, and finally snorted, "I disdain to use force against a junior like you, but I want to warn you, don't think you can be fearless just because you are sealed as the Champion Marquis. The water in the capital is deep, and you are too young to grasp it."
Facing Prince Meng's threat, Qin Hanchu was unfazed.
"Alright, I don't have time to chat about these unpleasant things with you here."
"If you have something to say, say it directly. If not, I'll be leaving."
Qin Hanchu did not take these two seriously at all.
It was laughable that these two still thought they were so noble.
Hearing this, Prince Meng and the Divine Sword Marquis became even more enraged.
"Do you know that the assassins who tried to assassinate you were killed?" the Divine Sword Marquis asked.
Qin Hanchu was stunned for a moment, "Oh? Who did it? Did your subordinates avenge me, Divine Sword Marquis?"
The Divine Sword Marquis stared at Qin Hanchu and asked, "Wasn't it done by your people?"
Qin Hanchu shook his head, "Those five should all be Grandmasters. The Grandmaster experts by my side only arrived in the capital today."
"According to our estimation, the person who made the move was a Great Grandmaster. You should have the protection of a Great Grandmaster behind you, right?" the Divine Sword Marquis asked.
Qin Hanchu smiled, "I know a few Great Grandmasters, but not enough to have a Great Grandmaster act as my bodyguard."
The Divine Sword Marquis and Prince Meng looked at Qin Hanchu with suspicion.
"There's nothing else, is there? I'll take my leave." After speaking, Qin Hanchu turned and walked out.
Bang!
After Qin Hanchu left, Prince Meng slapped the table, "Too arrogant, he doesn't put us in his eyes at all."
"This kid is indeed too arrogant!" the Divine Sword Marquis said coldly.
"He doesn't know how to restrain himself, and he will surely meet his end in the future," Prince Meng snorted coldly.
"Do you think he has a Great Grandmaster by his side?" the Divine Sword Marquis asked.
Prince Meng was silent for a moment, "It's hard to say."
Returning to his private room, Qin Hanchu's eyes held a hint of doubt.
In the private room, there was a woman in her thirties.
Although this woman's appearance was only around 8.5 points, her temperament was excellent.
Seeing her, one could involuntarily develop a good impression.
"Hanchu, this is Miss Qingyu. Her grandfather is Prince Zhong!" Lin Ying introduced to Qin Hanchu.
Ji Qingyu smiled and said, "Greetings, Champion Marquis."
Ji Qingyu's smile was very healing, but there was some worry in her eyes.
"Miss Qingyu, what is it you need from me?" Qin Hanchu asked.
"Grandfather has been unwell recently. I heard that the direct disciples of the two divine doctors are here, so I would like to ask Mr. Qin and Miss Xue to examine and treat my grandfather." Ji Qingyu said.
"Is it urgent?" Qin Hanchu asked.
"Champion Marquis can eat first, and you can go after eating," Ji Qingyu said.
"Then please sit, let's eat together," Qin Hanchu said.
"I'll wait outside to avoid affecting your atmosphere," Ji Qingyu said.
Qin Hanchu said, "It's alright, you can use this time to tell us about his condition."
Hearing this, Ji Qingyu nodded in agreement.
Prince Zhong was the elder uncle of the current Emperor and had great prestige within the royal family.
He was one hundred and twenty years old this year and was a mid-stage Great Grandmaster.
Recently, Prince Zhong had been coughing and wheezing, and his physical condition had been deteriorating.
The imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital were helpless, so Ji Qingyu found Qin Hanchu and Xue Lingxian.
After eating, Qin Hanchu asked Lin Ying to take Qin Yun and Jin Hailu back to the manor first.
He then went to Prince Zhong's manor with Xue Lingxian.
Prince Zhong's manor was even more imposing than the Champion Marquis's manor.
Led by Ji Qingyu, they went directly to Prince Zhong's room.
In the room, two county princesses were taking care of Prince Zhong.
"Two aunties, the Champion Marquis and Miss Xue, the disciple of Divine Doctor Xue, have arrived," Ji Qingyu said as she entered the room.
