After the City Lord sat down, he spoke to everyone.
" Everyone, are you wondering why this quest has to be completed by a handsome man?
" I'd like to hear the details," Karl continued.
"I have an 18-year-old daughter. I'm not exaggerating, but my daughter's beauty is unparalleled in Tangbei City. It should be a good thing, but it has brought about a very serious problem. Last month, the mayor of Qatar City proposed marriage to me. He hoped that I could betroth my daughter to his son. Unfortunately, his son is an ignorant and incompetent playboy. His reputation in Qatari City is ruined and he has done all kinds of bad things."I really can't bear to betroth my daughter to such a person," the city lord said and shook his head helplessly.
" City Lord, forgive me for being presumptuous, but can't you just reject it directly?" Lu Qi asked.
"This young hero's words make sense, but I can't do that. Although Tangbei City is the largest city in the country, it's only a commercial city. Many goods and raw materials have to be imported from other cities. Qatar City is one of the important import cities, and that Qatari City resident intentionally or unintentionally hinted that if I refused, he would cut off the trade relationship between the two cities, so I could only delay him and say that my daughter had already been engaged to a child."
" Then City Lord, do you mean…you want one of us to be your daughter's partner?" Ba Ba asked.
" Yes, that's exactly what I meant. However, as long as we can escape the marriage proposal from the City Lord of Katar City, we will have completed our mission," the City Lord said.
I'm the employer…I hope I have the right to choose, can I?" The City Lord asked again.
" Of course. I wonder if City Lord will choose this man?" Carl pointed at Purple Feather and asked the City Lord.
" Hehe…yes, but the three of you have to join the performance. As for these two beautiful ladies…don't appear in front of the city lord's son. With your beauty, you will definitely attract unnecessary trouble," the city lord explained to the two women.
" Thank you for your concern, City Lord," Lan Yan said politely. However, her heart felt unusually uncomfortable…What was going on?
" Then, I'll tell you the details tonight. You can all stay in the city during the mission. I'll go and inform my daughter now. You can do whatever you want," the City Lord said. He glanced at Purple Feather and left.
After the City Lord walked far away, Baby immediately said,"Are you really going to do this quest…Brother Purple Feather will have to sacrifice his body."
" There's no other way. We're here because we've already accepted it. Moreover, the other party is the City Lord. If we refuse, I don't know what he will do," Lu Qi sighed.
" Sigh…Why didn't the city lord choose me?" Karl said helplessly.
" Save it…Right, Ziyu, what do you think?" After hearing Ba Ba's words, everyone recalled that the main character had yet to express his opinion.
" I have no problem with it. I'm not really engaged to the City Lord's daughter. It's just a mission," Purple Feather said indifferently.
" Idiot!" Lan Yan and Little Cutie cursed at the same time." I'm afraid the mayor's daughter has fallen for you."
" Alright, since Purple Feather is fine, let's go to the Mercenary Guild and explain the situation to that lady," Lu Qi said.
After that, everyone went to the Mercenary Guild again. The service lady removed this mission from the mission list, indicating that this mission had already been accepted. After that, the group of people naturally wanted to take a look around the empire's largest city, Tangbei City.
At this moment, in the City Lord's Mansion…
" Father, I heard that a mercenary group came to apply for a mission today. What was the result?" The person who spoke was a tall and voluptuous young girl. Her plain face without makeup emitted a youthful aura. Her willow-like eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, and cherry lips matched very beautifully. Moreover, her every movement and silence emitted an attractive aura. As the City Lord had said, she was an out-and-out super beauty.
"Hehe…this mercenary group is very suitable for me. The members of this group are all handsome men and beautiful women, and the most special one is one of the youths. I have already decided to choose him for you."
"What is it? "Father, you didn't even ask for my opinion. You're satisfied, but that doesn't mean I'm satisfied." The beautiful girl pouted.
" Don't worry, that young man…Ah…" The City Lord sighed and continued," He's really the most perfect person I've ever seen."
The young girl was very surprised by her father's words…Her father, who had seen countless people, would actually praise a person to such an extent?
" Can you tell me? The girl asked curiously.
" I can't tell…I really don't know how to describe his appearance and temperament…Or perhaps, the current compliments aren't enough to describe his appearance and temperament, but I can feel his aura. It's so huge…Allow me to boldly say…It's an aura that makes people submit…It's an aura unique to a king…This person's identity is definitely not simple."
The young girl's interest was piqued by her father's words…Was there really such a person in the world?
" Alright…I'll tell them about the mission tonight…You have to come. When the time comes, you'll know if Father is exaggerating or not," the City Lord said with a smile.
" Yes, I understand," the girl said." Actually, anyone can do it as long as they can avoid the proposal of the City Lord of Qatar. But…is that person really as special as Father said?" He thought to himself.
Night fell. After dinner, everyone once again arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. After a simple report, they directly entered the hall and saw a beautiful woman standing beside the City Lord. They believed that this should be the City Lord's daughter. No wonder she was forced to marry! It was a man's lifelong wish to marry such a stunning woman.
"Greetings, City Lord," everyone said.
" Everyone, this is my daughter, Theos Yaqin," the City Lord said.
Baba and Carl immediately went up to them and warmly greeted Yaqin. Yaqin just smiled and then her eyes fell on Lu Qi beside the two of them.
" This man is indeed handsome, and his performance is neither servile nor overbearing. He can indeed strike a blow to that rich playboy, but…Father's description is really too exaggerated," Yaqin chuckled in her heart. "These two women are so beautiful, and…"
Ya Qin finally saw Zi Yu behind the two girls." I really don't know how to describe his appearance and temperament…or perhaps the current compliments are not enough to describe his appearance and temperament, but I can feel his aura. It's so huge…Allow me to boldly say…It's an aura that makes people submit…It's the aura unique to a king…" Ya Qin once again remembered her father's words.
"Heavens, there really is such a perfect person…What's wrong? I can't move my entire body, and I can't move my eyes away. His eyes were so blurry, and the more Yaqin thought about it, the more infatuated she became, and her face became redder and redder.
" Qin 'er, this young hero is the person who will be carrying out this mission," the City Lord interrupted his daughter when he saw her intoxicated look.
"Oh. "Yes…yes…good…very good…oh…no…no…it's not bad." The more Yaqin spoke, the more confused she became. The more she spoke, the lower her head became, but her eyes kept peeking at Ziyu.
Lan Yan and Baby saw this scene and knew that something was wrong. This City Lord's daughter had indeed developed a strong interest in Purple Feather.
" Hello, my name is Purple Feather. It's been a pleasure working with you," Purple Feather said coldly to Ya Qin. It was obvious that Purple Feather had already divided their relationship very clearly. It was only a cooperative relationship or a relationship of using the relationship. There was nothing else.
When Yaqin heard this, disappointment appeared on her face, but it only lasted for a moment. It was so fast that even Purple Feather couldn't catch it.
" Yes, I hope our cooperation goes smoothly. The reward will definitely not be small for you," Ya Qin replied to Purple Feather's cold tone.
The City Lord, Ba Ba, and the other two were puzzled. Why did their attitudes change so quickly?
Lan Yan and Baby felt relieved. Purple Feather did the right thing!!!
" Alright, since we've met, let's sit down. The City Lord of Qatar City will come again in a few days. We must discuss a good plan," the City Lord said worriedly.
" Don't worry, City Lord. We will definitely cooperate well," Lu Qi said.
" Alright, I'll tell you my plan now. The in-laws will be a friend of mine who often travels around the world. He has three sons, so the four of you will be the father and son. Ziyu will undoubtedly be Qin 'er's betrothal partner. Erm, young hero Karl, you look more mature. You just need to disguise yourself and you'll be the in-laws. As for Ba Ba and Lu Qi, they'll be Ziyu's older brothers, no problem, right?"
" Wa…hahaha…" As soon as the City Lord finished speaking, Ba Ba laughed out loud." Carl…you're going to be my father now…hahaha."
Carl's expression didn't look too good…He was obviously very angry.
" Alright, Baba, this is just a mission. Stop making fun of Carl," Lu Qi said.
City Lord, we have no problem with this arrangement. What are the details?" Purple Feather asked.
"Hmm…it's like this. I plan to arrange a ball to welcome the City Lord of Qatar and his son. The ball will invite many famous people. On the surface, it's to welcome them, but on the inside, it's to introduce Ziyu to everyone. At the same time, it's to make it clear that you're Qin 'er's betrothal partner. My credit has always been respected by everyone in Tangbei City. The City Lord of Qatari naturally has no reason to want me to destroy my decades of reputation for his son. He couldn't object at all."
After hearing this, Purple Feather analyzed in her heart," No one should know the contents of this mission before we receive it. Even if someone finds out that we are mercenaries in the future, it can't prove that this incident is actually a mission. When we leave in the future, the City Lord can use the excuse of 'my friend wants to continue training his son and will come back to marry Qin' Er in a few years 'to delay the City Lord of Qatar. Who knows if the son of the City Lord of Qatari will still be around in a few years? "After weighing the pros and cons, this method is indeed feasible. This City Lord is indeed smart and not simple."
Hence, everyone continued to discuss. Yaqin left with the excuse that she was not feeling well. Everything was prepared and she was waiting for the arrival of the City Lord of Qatar in a few days.
