Chapter 29: Spar
The two continued on their way, and suddenly, Qin Feng asked, “Hei Tan Tou*, I’ve always had a question. Is the relationship between your Liu family and the Tang family really that bad?”
Hei Tan Tou, Xing Sheng, twitched his face. “It’s not good indeed. The Tang family controls significant power in the Ministry of War, but they can’t control the Divine Marquis Army. They’ve always regarded our Liu family as a thorn in their side. In the court, the factions led by the Tang and Liu families often clash. This is well-known in Heavenly City.”
“I see. So, actions like Tang Xuan’s yesterday, were they not uncommon?”
“Well…” Xing Sheng pondered for a moment and then shook his head. “Not really. Although the Tang family and our Liu family have always been at odds, it doesn’t escalate to the level of violence. I’m also puzzled. I don’t understand why the son of the Ministry of War’s Supervisor would stage such a spectacle in Jinyang City yesterday.”
Qin Feng lowered his head in thought. He felt he was overlooking something.
He initially thought Tang Xuan was a playboy who came all the way to Jinyang City just to publicly humiliate Miss Liu as part of a marriage proposal.
But upon analysis, it was evident that Tang Xuan was calculative and not as simple as he appeared. Each of his actions was designed to anger the Liu family and stir up trouble.
However, Qin Feng had a strange feeling that Tang Xuan harbored some unexplained hostility toward him. Why? It was their first meeting.
Could it be that Tang Xuan knew he couldn’t harm Liu Jianli, so he shifted his focus to him?
