We are all reborn, let's practice dual cultivation with Master first

The next morning, Qin Hao went to Jiaoyue Palace to pay his respects, and then the master and disciple went down the mountain.

……

Gangneung City.

This place is a county town under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou in the "Liyang Dynasty", located at the border between Jingzhou and Yizhou.

On this day, a special team of carriages and horses appeared outside Jiangling City.

There are three carriages in total. The decoration of the carriages is elegant but not exaggerated. At first glance, they do not seem to be special.

But each carriage is pulled by three horses. The horses pulling the carriage are extremely handsome. It is obvious at a glance that they are not ordinary horses. Since the carriage can be pulled by these horses, the identity of the owner must be extraordinary.

The convoy was not moving very fast, following the flow of people and moving forward step by step.

It was not until the carriages arrived at the city gate that the curtain of the middle carriage was drawn open.

Then, a beautiful girl poked her head out and looked at Jiangling City for a moment before she said, "This is such a remote place, and you still need me to come here in person. Uncle Jiang, are you overestimating Qin Hao?"

A middle-aged man in the carriage heard this and said, "Miss, this is a good thing for us. It is precisely because the Qin Hao family is located in a remote area and does not attract attention that our Shen family can take the lead."

The pair of carriages and horses belong to the Shen family from Jiangnan.

While other forces in the Southern Region were keeping their eyes on Qin Hao who was in the Yuxu Sect, the Shen Family was taking a different approach and preparing to do the opposite. They were going to where Qin Hao's family was and directly forming an alliance with the Qin Family.

In this way, they can cut off the source of the problem, improve their relationship with Qin Hao, and seize the initiative.

Some time ago, the Shen family had been trying to find out where Qin Hao's family was. After spending a few days, they finally got the address of the family's residence, and then they brought their men and came here at night.

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, the beautiful girl raised her head proudly and said, "Uncle Jiang, what if Qin Hao is just a show-off?"

Hearing this, Jiang Bo said seriously: "Don't worry, Miss. Since the head of the family and your aunt have made this decision, they must have been sure of it."

Hearing this, the stunningly beautiful girl lowered the curtain and said no more.

Afterwards, everyone from the Shen family entered the city.

However, they did not visit Qin Hao's family directly, but went to the City Lord's Mansion, preparing to understand the situation in Jiangling City before making plans.

When they arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, everyone revealed their identities. Not long after, a middle-aged man came out.

"I am sorry for not welcoming you, my distinguished guest!"

The voice came before the middle-aged man arrived.

Jiang Bo cupped his hands and said politely, "Meet City Lord Fan."

The Lord of Jiangling City is named Fan Ben, a powerful man with the strength of Guiyuan Realm.

Jiang Bo also bowed and then introduced each other.

Jiang Bo first pointed at the beautiful girl and introduced her, "This is the daughter of the Shen family's patriarch, Shen Qingqiu."

Fan Ben bowed respectfully and said, "Hello, Miss Shen!"

Shen Qianqiu just nodded without further response.

Fan Ben didn't think he was the only one. He had seen many children from big families. This attitude was already considered good. Most of the children from big families were arrogant and would speak ill of others at any time.

Afterwards, the two sides exchanged a few polite words, and the Shen family entered the City Lord's Mansion under the guidance of City Lord Fan.

After everyone sat down and exchanged a few pleasantries, Fan Ben asked, "I wonder what important matter has brought the distinguished guest from the Shen family here from afar? If there is anything I can do to help, please tell me. I will not refuse!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Bo glanced at the young lady next to him, and then said, "My young lady and a young man from the Qin family in Jiangling City are in love with each other. We are here at the order of the head of the family to make contact with the Qin family."

Hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across Fan Ben's face.

The Shen family is one of the seven families in Dongzhou. The family is extremely powerful and is a second-tier force in the entire Dongzhou, on par with his main family, the Xunyang Chu family.

The eldest daughter of such a powerful family actually fell in love with the boy from the Qin family. Could it be that the Qin family is about to take off?

With his mind full of thoughts, Fan Ben remained calm as he asked, "I wonder which young master of the Qin family is this young lady of your family in love with?"

Jiang Bo heard this and replied, "Qin Hao, I wonder if City Lord Fan knows anything about him?"

Hearing the name Qin Hao, Fan Ben fell into deep thought.

He knew some of the young men in the Qin family, but he had no impression of Qin Hao.

Seeing this, Jiang Bo reminded again: "Qin Hao is currently in Yuxu Sect, not in the family."

Hearing this, Fan Ben suddenly realized, "So it's the son of the second son of the Qin family. It is said that he was already favored by a master when he was young and was accepted as a disciple. He should be the person you are looking for."

After saying this, a barely perceptible strangeness flashed across Fan Ben's face, as if there was something wrong. He just thought for a moment and said nothing more.

After hearing what Fan Ben said, Jiang Bo and Shen Qingqiu looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that they had found the right place.

As the two of them were thinking, they saw something strange on Fan Ben's face, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. Jiang Bo then said, "Lord Fan, do you want to say something? You can say it anyway!"

Hearing this, Fan Ben deliberately hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's like this. It seems that Qin Hao has an engagement with the Bai family in the west of the city..."

Having said this, Fan Ben stopped talking, the meaning was self-evident.

Hearing this, the two people from the Shen family showed astonishment on their faces, and their expressions immediately became uncertain.

This news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for them.

If Qin Hao is already engaged to someone, then the Shen family's plan will fail.

After a long pause, Jiang Bo came back to his senses, bowed to Fan Ben, and said, "Thank you, City Lord Fan, for telling me this. We still have some things to deal with, and we will visit you again another day."

After saying that, Jiang Bo, Shen Qingqiu and other members of the Shen family stood up and bowed to Fan Ben.

Seeing this, Fan Ben naturally did not dare to be arrogant, and immediately stood up and said in return: "Your Excellency is too polite, this is what I should do."

Jiang Bo nodded and walked away.

Fan Ben also sent out a section before stopping.

Only after the Shen family had completely left the City Lord's Mansion did Fan Ben retract his gaze, and then stood there thinking.

After a while, Fan Ben returned to the hall, then called over a subordinate, handed him a divine jade token, and then gave him a few instructions.

The subordinate bowed respectfully and left quickly.

Whether it was the arrival of the Shen family or the matter of Qin Hao, Fan Ben felt that it was not as simple as the other party said. Thinking of this, he felt that he should report the matter to his master.

After his subordinates left, Fan Ben called his son over.

"Dad, are you looking for me?"

Not long after, a frivolous voice was heard, arriving before the person arrived.

A moment later, a young man came in from outside.

The young man was dressed in gorgeous clothes, holding a folding fan in his hand, with a cynical smile on his face and a somewhat unsteady step, giving people a sense of being nonchalant at first glance.

Looking at his good-for-nothing son, Fan Ben's face immediately darkened and he cursed, "All you do is fool around all day long. Fan Jin, you really bring shame to your father!"

Upon hearing this, Fan Jin looked dissatisfied and said, "No way, old man, you called me here just to discredit me? If so, I will leave..."

Having said that, Young Master Fan Jin turned around and looked like he was about to leave.

Seeing this, Fan Ben shouted, "Come back!"

Fan Jin stopped, turned around, and said, "Dad, what's going on? Tell me now!"

Fan Ben was also furious when he saw this rebellious son who was standing without any manners. However, he had no choice but to say coldly, "For the time being, you should stop associating with your group of bad friends. If you have time, go to Jiangcheng Inn more often."

Fan Jin was puzzled and asked, "Ah? Why?"

Seeing his son like this, Fan Ben was so angry that he wanted to slap him, but thinking that he only had this one son, he still patiently explained to him.

Upon learning that there was an important person in the Jiangcheng Inn, Fan Jin seemed to understand what his father meant.

Although he didn't care much, Fan Jin still looked like he was listening to the instructions and said, "Okay, Dad, I got it!"

After a moment's silence, seeing that Fan Ben was no longer talking, Fan Jin said tentatively, "Then I'm leaving, Dad!"

"Ah."

Fan Ben responded.

Seeing this, Fan Jin turned around and left.

Just as he walked to the door and was about to disappear around the corner, Fan Ben's reminder came again.

"Remember, don't get involved with your bad friends recently!"

"understood……"

All that could be heard was the rebellious son's voice gradually fading away.

Seeing this, Fan Jin also sighed.

Qin Hao's parents were not doing well in Jiangling City. Not only were they at odds with the Qin family, but they were also in a very tense relationship with the Bai family, with whom they were forming an alliance.

And his rebellious son was living a life of debauchery with the children of those who were against Qin Hao's family.

If Qin Hao were to successfully marry the eldest daughter of the Shen family, all these people would probably be liquidated.

If one of the "Seven Surnames" family really wanted to take action, the few small shrimps in Jiangling City would definitely not even have the ability to resist.

As Fan Ben also worked for the Xunyang Chu family, one of the "Seven Surnames", he was well aware of the power of such families.
