Chapter 286 - Chapter 286: Chapter 279 Lovebirds 1 (2/2)

“I’ve been to where the Nine Insect Gang resides, where the folk are fierce, and the weak have no standing whatsoever. Bringing Wan Yan and the others there would only harm them. The Shennong Sect might seem safe, but could actually be the most dangerous place. Shuangfeng Village might appear dangerous, but in reality, it might be a refuge from warfare.”

Qin Niu offered his own perspective.

Wang Furen wouldn’t listen, and there was nothing he could do.

“Dad, we definitely won’t go wrong listening to Ah Niu.”

Wang Wanyan’s voice rang out as the door opened.

She too had changed into a set of coarse clothes.

Yet, it still could not conceal her breathtaking beauty, her graceful figure, standing tall and slender. Her features were like a master painting, with a delicate nose and rosy lips, looking beautiful in whatever she wore.

Solely in terms of beauty, Tang Caixian was somewhat inferior to her.

However, both women had their respective charms.

Wang Wanyan was pure as snow, proud and cold, yet she also possessed the poise and intelligence of a lady from a prestigious family.

Tang Caixian, on the other hand, was bold and forthright, passionate and fierce as fire. She exhibited a charm and softness, without losing her inner pride and wisdom.

Qin Niu liked and respected both girls.

“The villagers were spreading rumors, saying that you abandoned Xiao Qing to escape the disaster alone. I never believed it. But my father insists that our family prepare to flee.”

Wang Wanyan explained to Qin Niu.

“Uncle Wang’s concerns are not without reason. Now that I am back, the rumors will naturally be dispelled. Uncle Wang, there’s no need to flee. If enemies really do come, 1 will surely notify you before I flee for safety.”

How could Qin Niu abandon Xiao Qing, Wang Wanyan, and Tang Caixian to flee for his life?

Though he might seem cold and ruthless, he valued loyalty deeply.

But in such precarious times, it was true that he didn’t meddle in affairs that weren’t his own.

This was also a form of self-preservation.

“It seems it was a false alarm, Ah Niu. I see that you and Wan Yan have feelings for each other. In these turbulent times, if you don’t mind, I’d like you to take Wan Yan as your bride. I’m old and truly cannot protect her.”

Wang Furen’s mentality had undergone a significant change.

In the past, he feared his precious daughter being led astray by Qin Niu, but now he was hoping Qin Niu would marry her sooner rather than later.

Because he felt that entrusting his daughter to Qin Niu was safer.

“I am more than willing, but 1 come from humble beginnings and fear that it would be unfair to Wan Yan.”

Qin Niu looked toward Wang Wanyan.

She blushed, her face turning red, and she glanced down bashfully, sneaking looks at Qin Niu.

Smiling upon hearing Qin Niu’s agreement to marry her, a smile blossomed on her face that could overturn kingdoms.

“I leave everything to my father’s decision.”

Being a girl, naturally she was too shy to directly admit her liking for Qin Niu.

She expressed herself in a rather demure manner.

“Ha ha, since both you young people agree, Master Qin can hire a matchmaker and set an early date to bring forth the engagement and complete the marriage.”

Wang Furen laughed heartily upon hearing this.

How times had changed.

The current Qin Niu had a startling potential for growth. The local powerhouse, the Yan Family, treated him with great respect.

Tang Yan of the Tang Family had also personally paid a visit to Qin Niu.

Additionally, Tang Caixian from the Tang Family was a well-known beauty far and wide, her family background was not a bit inferior to that of Wang Furen’s. She had taken the initiative to send a matchmaker to discuss marriage with Qin Niu.

Wang Furen also had his own calculations.

He feared that if he acted too slowly, Qin Niu would marry Tang Caixian first, and then his daughter would have to become a concubine, or marry someone else.

In these chaotic times, he did not trust anyone else.

On the contrary, he felt that marrying Qin Niu was the best option. Not only could he see his daughter every day, providing someone to look out for her, but also because he knew Qin Niu well and deemed him trustworthy.

“Then tomorrow 1 will find a matchmaker to propose officially. It’s just that my achievements are limited at the moment, and 1 would be putting Wan Yan at a disadvantage.”

Seeing how anxious the girl’s father was, Qin Niu naturally would not decline.

He wouldn’t put Wang Furen in an awkward position..
