Although the young lord of the Meng family was not as prominent as princesses or princes, he was still a member of the imperial family.
Even the prefect's mother, Gong Changjun, would not dare to openly oppose a prince.
“Does it matter who you are?” Qin Hanchu retorted.
The young lord Meng’s expression grew increasingly grim. He said in a deep voice, “My father is Prince Meng, and I am the heir to the princely estate!”
“So what? I still don’t want to be friends with you,” Qin Hanchu said indifferently.
Qin Hanchu’s reply enraged the young lord Meng. He said, “You look down on me?”
“Why is it always the same line?”
“Making friends is like dating. If I don’t feel we’re compatible, can’t I just decide not to be friends?”
“If I feel you are approachable, I can call you my brother, even if you were an ordinary person.”
Qin Hanchu said.
“Tell me, what about me makes you feel I am not approachable?” the young lord Meng asked, crossing his arms.
“Your eyes are constantly peeking at the beautiful women around me. Clearly, your target isn’t me.”
“You want to be friends with me because of the beauties by my side, right?”
Qin Hanchu’s ability to read people was quite strong.
Even though the young lord Meng hid it well, his desire for beauty could not escape Qin Hanchu’s eyes.
Why would he associate with someone like this?
Even if he was the son of Prince Meng, Qin Hanchu was not afraid.
It would be best if he retreated wisely. If he still insisted on showing off, he would still be beaten.
The young lord Meng’s eyes showed a hint of panic. He hadn’t expected his intentions to be discovered by Qin Hanchu.
Although he was the heir of the Qin Prince’s Estate, the young lord Meng did not have grand ambitions.
Qin Hanchu’s potential had nothing to do with him.
All he wanted was beautiful women.
Just as Qin Hanchu said, he approached Qin Hanchu solely for the sake of beauties.
Although Qin Hanchu spoke the truth, revealing it publicly caused awkwardness.
With a flushed face, the young lord Meng angrily exclaimed, “Nonsense! What kind of woman does this heir not have? Do I need to befriend you for a woman?”
Qin Hanchu smiled. “Then why do you want to befriend me? Is the young lord recruiting retainers? Forming factions is no trivial matter.”
“Nonsense, this heir has absolutely no such intentions,” the young lord Meng quickly defended himself.
“Forget it, I’m too lazy to argue with you about this.”
“Young lord, listen clearly. They are all my friends. If you dare to harass them, even if you are the young lord, you will have to pay the price.”
After saying that, Qin Hanchu walked away.
Xue Lingxian and the others merely glanced at the young lord Meng before following Qin Hanchu.
“So arrogant, not even putting this heir in his eyes.”
“Just you wait, I’ll let you know the consequences of provoking me.”
The young lord Meng roared.
Qin Hanchu turned to look at the young lord Meng, a dismissive smile appearing on his face.
“You have quite a lot of trouble,” Lin Ying said.
Qin Hanchu smiled and replied, “As the saying goes, beautiful women are the source of trouble. Moreover, I have quite a few beauties by my side.”
“With so many beautiful women accompanying you, will you wake up laughing in your dreams at night?” Xin Xin chuckled.
Qin Hanchu said with a hint of frustration, “What’s the use of them being by my side? They aren’t sleeping with me.”
“Lin Ying, Siwei, Sister Hailu, who do you want?” Xue Lingxian asked.
Lin Ying glared at Xue Lingxian and said, “You should be included as well.”
“I’m not engaged to him,” Xue Lingxian said.
“Qin Hanchu’s wife doesn’t necessarily have to be chosen from an engagement.”
“Both of you study medicine and are martial arts prodigies. You are very compatible,” Lin Ying said with a smile.
“Why do I feel like I’m not very popular, and everyone is trying to push me away?” Qin Hanchu said glumly.
Xin Xin smiled and said, “This is them retreating to advance, playing hard to get.”
Qin Hanchu nodded. “I think so too. How could such an excellent and handsome man like me not be liked?”
“Disgusting!”
Lin Ying and the other two said in unison.
Soon, they arrived at the classroom.
Today, Yan Jiangnan dared not give Qin Hanchu a cold shoulder.
Seeing Qin Hanchu enter, he immediately lowered his head, pretending not to see him.
Qin Hanchu was quite satisfied with Yan Jiangnan’s behavior.
Time flew by, and a week of classes had ended.
During this week, Qin Hanchu gained a stronger understanding of military tactics.
Furthermore, Tang Siwei officially stepped into the martial arts path.
With the help of medicinal baths, she had already reached the realm of a second-rank martial artist.
Tang Siwei was very diligent. While Qin Hanchu and the others were attending classes, she spent her entire days cultivating.
She had already mastered the martial techniques taught by Qin Hanchu.
During this period, the Fifth Princess and the Fourth Prince repeatedly tried to win Qin Hanchu over, but he managed to evade them.
On Friday, after school, Xiao Han approached Qin Hanchu and Xue Lingxian. She said with a smile, “Do you have any plans for the weekend? Want to go to the capital?”
“There’s plenty to do in Qingshui Town. Let’s go to the capital next week,” Xue Lingxian replied.
“That’s true. Do you want to go together?” Xiao Han asked.
Xue Lingxian looked at Qin Hanchu. “The only man in the house, do you want to accept the beautiful Xiao into our group?”
“Of course, who would complain about having more beautiful women?” Qin Hanchu said.
“I have to tell Lin Ying and Siwei about that,” Xue Lingxian said.
Qin Hanchu gave Xue Lingxian a look and then ignored her.
That evening, several women gathered to discuss their weekend itinerary.
Qingshui Town was nestled in the mountains, surrounded by several scenic areas.
To visit them all would take at least two days.
As the saying goes, three women are a force to be reckoned with; with five women gathered, the chatter was incessant.
Just as Qin Hanchu finished cooking, there was a knock on the door.
Opening it, he found the Fifth Princess standing outside.
“Can I come over for a meal?” the Fifth Princess asked.
“Just for a meal, we’re not discussing anything else, right?” Qin Hanchu asked.
“If you don’t like discussing it, then we won’t,” the Fifth Princess said helplessly.
“Please come in.” After a week of interaction, Qin Hanchu had become quite familiar with the Fifth Princess.
In contrast, he was not as familiar with the Fourth Prince.
This was the advantage of beauties.
“Fifth Princess.” Upon seeing the Fifth Princess enter, Lin Ying and the others turned to greet her.
“What are you discussing?” the Fifth Princess asked curiously.
“Our plans for the next two days of sightseeing,” Xue Lingxian replied.
The Fifth Princess’s eyes lit up. “Shall we go together?”
Hearing the Fifth Princess’s suggestion, Xiao Han’s expression subtly shifted.
Uh…
Lin Ying and the others were momentarily stunned.
Although they were already familiar with the Fifth Princess, she was still a member of the royal family.
There were too many things to consider when traveling with her.
It would be too restrictive to play that way.
“By the way, I have to go back tomorrow. I’m afraid I won’t be able to join,” the Fifth Princess said, seeing their expressions, her face remained calm.
“Then that’s a pity,” Lin Ying said with a dry laugh.
Xiao Han secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She did not want the princess to join.
Tomorrow, the Old Ancestor of the Xiao family would have a talk with Qin Hanchu.
At that time, a conflict might even erupt.
