Chapter 848: Chapter 848 The Former Family Head of the Guo Family

Qin Hao turned his head to look at her and replied, “No.”

Princess Lan Xin laughed and said, “Brother Ritian, we are friends, aren’t we? I’m in trouble now, can’t you help me?”

Qin Hao: “Is this helping? You’re pushing me into the fire pit. You know the strength of the Guo Family well. If I go with you, the Guo Family will definitely hold a grudge against me.”

Lan Xin hurriedly promised, “Don’t worry, I will definitely ensure your safety.”

“No.” Qin Hao still shook his head.

Lan Xin snorted, “If you help me this time, I will promise you one thing in return, okay? That seems fair, right?”

Qin Hao hesitated for a moment, “Anything?”

“But within my capabilities,” Lan Xin seriously said to him.

Qin Hao thought for a while and said, “I came here to auction off the Elf Clan’s princess and queen. I want to buy all of them. If my money isn’t enough, you have to help. If someone wants to attack me, you also have to help stand up for me.”

After all, Divine Wind City is now filled with top family disciples, and they all have high-level mecha for protection. Qin Hao currently has no advantage at all.

If he wins the auction, and a family disciple wants to kill him, his only option is to run away.

With Lan Xin’s help, he wouldn’t have to worry about not being able to leave Divine Wind City.

But agreeing to Lan Xin’s request also puts him in great danger, as even Lan Xin’s suitors alone are enough to trouble him. Moreover, among these suitors, there are some top family disciples.

This matter has both pros and cons.

Lan Xin nodded slightly upon hearing his words, “Alright, I promise you, but you also have to promise to cooperate with me.”

After the two confirmed their cooperation, they immediately synced up.

Back at the hotel, Lan Xin didn’t return to her room but went directly to Qin Hao’s room. She said to Qin Hao, “If we’re going to put on a show, it should be convincing. I’ll stay here tonight; there are several rooms anyway.”

Qin Hao had no objections. He took Luna and Jiao Rou back to his room.

As for whether anyone was watching them, Qin Hao could guess with his toes that someone was definitely tracking Lan Xin. Now that Lan Xin was staying in his room for the night, it certainly sent a signal.

…

They stayed in the hotel for about five days. Guo Pengfei, Peng Minghao, and others almost all got the news: Princess Lan Xin and Qin Hao were actually sleeping in a suite together. This news was really shocking to them.

Why would Princess Lan Xin sleep in a suite with this person? What is their relationship?

With ten days left before the auction starts, Lan Xin and Qin Hao’s party left the hotel and headed toward the Guo Family’s residence in Divine Wind City.

After staying in the hotel for a few days, Lan Xin thought that the outside world should be well informed by now. It was the right time to visit the Guo Family.

In about ten minutes, they reached the depths of Divine Wind City, arriving at the Guo Family’s residence.

The Guo Family residence spans tens of miles, with palaces and pavilions everywhere, even floating buildings in the air, resembling an Immortal Realm.

The main gate of the Guo Family residence is a traditional-style red lacquer gate, ancient and grand, giving off a sense of majesty.

Servants stood at the entrance. Lan Xin said, “Report inside that Princess Lan Xin is here to visit.”

The servant’s face froze upon hearing this. The news of Princess Lan Xin’s arrival in Divine Wind City had already spread. In the past few days, a large number of people had flocked to the city for the Elf Clan auction.

These people included countless wealthy individuals. Upon learning that Princess Lan Xin of the Nolan Empire was here, they all wanted to see this legendary young princess.

The servant at the Guo Family residence’s gate reported back through the communicator, then respectfully led Lan Xin and Qin Hao’s party inside.

Along the way, Guo Pengfei and his father Guo Yuanwu hurriedly came out. Seeing Lan Xin, they promptly and respectfully said, “Princess Lan Xin.”

Lan Xin gave a slight nod, exuding an air of nobility and elegance. She usually presented this demeanor in front of outsiders but showed her true lively and carefree nature only when alone with Qin Hao.

Guo Pengfei felt awkward seeing Lan Xin holding Qin Hao’s arm. Thinking about his goddess being intimately involved with Qin Hao in the room for several days made him feel extremely disgusted.

However, he dared not show it. Guo Yuanwu glanced at Qin Hao and said with a broad smile, “You must be Mr. Qin Ritian. I’ve heard your gambling skills are exceptional. We should witness it someday.”

Qin Hao smiled mildly, “It’s alright. I’ve researched these aspects before.”

Lan Xin continued, “We’ve been in Divine Wind City these days, feeling a bit unwell, so we rested for a few days. We came over with Xiaotian to visit Mr. Guo, the Family Head.”

“Xiaotian? What is your relationship with the princess?” Guo Yuanwu couldn’t help but ask.

Lan Xin smiled slightly, “Xiaotian is my boyfriend. We met on Anning Star. In a few days, I’ll return to Nolan Star to inform my father.”

Guo Yuanwu’s expression remained unchanged; he slightly nodded. There wasn’t much he could say about this matter, “Please come in, Princess Lan Xin and Mr. Qin.”

Under their guidance, Qin Hao and Lan Xin arrived at the Guo Family’s guest palace. Inside the guest hall sat an elder with silver hair, who was Guoanye, the old Family Head of the Guo Family.

Guoanye did not rise upon seeing Lan Xin. He sat there with an aged appearance, “Lan Xin, come and sit.”

Lan Xin respectfully addressed him, “Mr. Guo,” then sat down with Qin Hao on the nearby chairs. Guo Yuanwu and Guo Pengfei also sat down.

Guoanye had lived for hundreds of years, originally fighting for Jiangshan alongside her grandfather. Even when seeing Lan Xin’s father, he need not kneel or salute.

“Mr. Guo, how is your health?” Lan Xin asked.

Guoanye laughed and said, “I’m just an old man now, having lived for over 600 years, it’s enough for me. Who is this young man? Is he a prince?”

Lan Xin introduced, “Mr. Guo, this is my boyfriend, called Qin Ritian.”

Qin Ritian looked at Guoanye and said, “Hello, Mr. Guo, the Family Head.”

He greeted plainly. As for calling Guoanye “grandfather,” he couldn’t bring himself to say it. Even addressing him as Mr. Guo was already quite respectful.

This greeting was not disrespectful.

However, Guo Yuanwu and Guo Pengfei felt displeased because Qin Hao showed no sign of reverence on his face. How dare he look down on our family’s pillar even before becoming Nolan Empire’s royal consort?

Even if you became Nolan Empire’s royal consort, you wouldn’t have the right to look down on our family’s pillar.

Guoanye scrutinized Qin Hao with his cloudy eyes, “Mr. Qin must be a remarkable young man. The future will surely hold great prospects for him. Princess Lan Xin is lucky to have found such a good husband.”
