"It doesn't matter." Lin Long said lightly.
As soon as Lin Long finished speaking, Ma Yunfeng let out a loud roar and immediately attacked Lin Long, and from the looks of it, he seemed to have used the move that he was most proficient in.
Looking at the incoming profound energy, Lin Long smiled slightly. Raising his palm, a wave of profound energy with auriferous fire s immediately welcomed the opponent.
When the previously confident Ma Yunfeng saw that Lin Long's strength was still so great, his expression couldn't help but change. However, it was already too late as he was sent flying with a single palm strike from Lin Long.
He landed heavily a few feet away, and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
This scene caused everyone to be stunned. This was originally a symbolic battle, who would have thought that Lin Long would immediately strike heavily.
Landing on the ground, Ma Yunfeng asked in disbelief, "How is this possible?" "How could you possibly have more?"
However, having realized something, he immediately shut his mouth.
However, Qian Ping's face sank, looked at Lin Long and coldly said, "Lin Gongzi, what do you mean by this? Could it be that my disciple can't even learn a few moves from you?"
Lin Long ignored him and looked at Ma Yunfeng, "Senior Brother Ma, are you trying to say that you have already been poisoned by the Nine Cloud Powder, how can you still use profound energy?"
After hearing this, Qian Ping, whose face was originally ugly, looked at Lin Long and Ma Yunfeng with a suspicious look.
"No, how could I possibly mean that?" Ma Yunfeng hurriedly said as he was helped to his feet by the bystanders.
"That's not what you mean. Then how are you going to explain how I got the Nine Cloud Powder?" Lin Long said coldly.
"That Nine Cloud Powder in your wine cup … No, what Nine Cloud Powder? How would I know?" Ma Yunfeng realized that he had accidentally made a mistake and hurriedly changed his words.
Even though he heard that Ma Yunfeng was a bit off, Qian Ping still looked towards Lin Long and asked, "Lin Gongzi, do you mean to say that my first disciple, Ma Yunfeng, poisoned your wine cup?"
After all, Ma Yunfeng was his eldest disciple and Lin Long was only a son-in-law who hadn't yet passed the door. Relatively speaking, he was an outsider, so naturally, he still leaned towards Ma Yunfeng.
"If Palace Chief Qian doesn't believe me, you can go check out that wine cup." Lin Long said.
"Alright." Qian Ping immediately replied as he strode towards the interior of the hall.
Very quickly, he arrived beside the cup of wine that Lin Long had just given him. After leaving the table, Lin Long was naturally constantly watching the cup of wine.
However, no one had done such a thing. Otherwise, he would have been able to immediately find out who Ma Yunfeng's accomplices were.
Lifting Lin Long's wine cup, he looked at it seriously. Then, Qian Ping turned to one of the attendants who had just walked in with him, "Go and catch a cat immediately."
A cat was quickly brought over. Then, Qian Ping pinched the cat's mouth and poured the remaining half of the cup of wine down.
What Qian Ping did was naturally to test if the wine was really poisonous, and if there was one, it would be like what Lin Long said, Nine Cloud Powder.
This is the easiest and fastest way to detect living things.
Lin Long stood to the side and watched as Qian Ping did this, he did not do anything to interfere, but in his opinion, Qian Ping was most likely not the mastermind behind this. If it really was Qian Ping, he would not need to go through so much trouble, he could just use force to deal with him.
At first, the cat could still flop about in the cage with all its might, but after that period of time, it was directly lying on the ground like a soft-footed shrimp. No matter how people outside moved, it was unable to stand up.
Moreover, the cat's face was extremely ugly to behold.
This was the symptom of Nine Cloud Powder, and the reason why Nine Cloud Powder worked so quickly on this cat was because the cat did not have a strong body like a warrior. Even a little Nine Cloud Powder could affect it, let alone the Nine Cloud Powder that was specially given to Lin Long.
That amount was not something that the cat could bear.
After confirming that it was truly Nine Cloud Powder, Qian Ping's expression immediately became extremely unsightly. He roared at Ma Yunfeng who was beside him, "Yun Feng, did I, Qian Ping, painstakingly teach you to use such a despicable method?"
"Disciple knows his wrongs!" Even though Ma Yunfeng was injured, he still directly kneeled on the ground.
"You know your wrongs? Would a single word from you be enough to make me forgive you? You actually made such a mistake for a woman! You actually stole my Nine Cloud Powder, and used it to deal with Lin Gongzi. " Qian Ping was so angry that his body was trembling.
Hearing Qian Ping's words, Lin Long was a little surprised, he never thought that this Nine Cloud Powder was actually Qian Ping's.
"Master, please forgive this disciple this once." Ma Yunfeng said as he crawled towards Qian Ping.
Qian Ping didn't pay attention to him and directly said to the person beside him, "Yan Ming, drag him down and lock him in the dungeon!"
"Wait!"
Looking towards Lin Long, Qian Ping's complexion finally turned slightly better. He was a little puzzled as he asked, "Lin Gongzi, what's wrong?"
"I don't think he can do it." Lin Long said lightly.
"Oh? What did Lin Gongzi say? " Qian Ping could not help but glance at Ma Yunfeng who was on the ground.
At first, Ma Yunfeng's face was filled with joy, but very soon, his expression became unsightly. He quickly said, "Master, I was the only one who did this."
At this time, Qian Ping also felt that things were not that simple, so he glared at Ma Yunfeng and asked, "Speak, who are your accomplices?"
"Master, it was really done by me alone." Ma Yunfeng lowered his head and said with determination.
After that, no matter how Qian Ping questioned him, he insisted that he was the one who did it. In a situation where Lin Long didn't have any evidence, Qian Ping could only send someone to take Qian Ping to the dungeon first.
In his heart, Lin Long was somewhat regretful. He did not expect this Qian Ping to actually be so unyielding.
The reason why Lin Long was suspicious, was because with Ma Yunfeng's ability, it was absolutely impossible for him to do such a thing by himself.
However, Lin Long was not worried. After all, as long as he could find an opportunity, he could rely on his own abilities to make Ma Yunfeng tell him the truth.
Qian Ping was naturally not happy to see such a thing happen after eating only a single meal, so he was no longer interested in eating this meal.
He said to Lin Long, "Lin Gongzi, I'm really sorry about this matter. How about this, let my daughter accompany you today. After all, you two will be husband and wife in the future."
After that, after saying a few more words, Qian Ping brought the others and left, leaving behind Lin Long, Qian Yurou and a few other servant girls.
Amongst these maidservants was naturally the girl who had called him over for breakfast this morning. Lin Long remembered that girl's name was Xiao Qian.

At this time, Qian Yurou spoke up. She gave a slight smile and said to Lin Long, "Sir, let's go have a cup of tea."
With that, she took the lead and walked in the direction of the tea table.
The purpose of Lin Long participating in the Groom Search Competition was to get close to Qian Yurou, so she would not let go of this opportunity.
He also smiled slightly and said, "Then we'll follow Miss Qian's wishes."
The two of them sat down and waited for the two maidservants to fill their teacups. Qian Yurou raised the teacup and said, "Sir, I am really sorry for what happened.
He finished the cup of tea.
"It's fine." After saying that, Lin Long also finished all the tea in the cup in front of him.
"Could it be that Miss Qian is not satisfied with this marriage?" After finishing his tea, Lin Long began to speak frankly.
Hearing Lin Long's words, Qian Yurou laughed awkwardly, then turned to the servants beside him and said, "You may leave first."
After the few servant girls left, Qian Yurou then let out a faint sigh, "To be honest, I do have someone I like."
"Oh, can I know who that person is?" Lin Long asked curiously.
Qian Yurou, however, did not reply, and instead said, "Lin Gongzi, since I'm already your fiancee, pretend like this never happened before. And I won't bring up this person again in the future."
As he said till here, Qian Yurou suddenly looked at Lin Long, and then said, "Rest assured, I have still not lost my body."
"Is that so? That's good." The corner of Lin Long's mouth slightly rose.
Then, he said, "When I just entered Northern Desert City, I heard that Miss Qian has a very special personality. Furthermore, I've seen some very strange things on the streets. I wonder if Miss Qian can tell me why?"
Qian Yurou's face stiffened, and said, "This matter is already over, I hope that Young Master will not pursue this matter further."
"Of course." Lin Long nodded.
"Lin Gongzi saw many places of our Lingxiao Palace yesterday, I don't think he has been to any of them before." Qian Yurou changed the topic.
"Oh, where is that?"
"This little girl's art studio." Qian Yurou suddenly smiled. To be honest, her smile looked much better.
"Then, Miss Qian, can you let me have a look?" Lin Long laughed.
"Of course." Qian Yurou nodded.
Following that, under Qian Yurou's guidance, they left the building and walked along a road that was not too far away, where Lin Long arrived at an exquisite courtyard.
The maidservants were naturally accompanying them.
"This is where this little girl lives." Qian Yurou pointed to the courtyard.
After saying that, he took the lead and walked into the courtyard.
After entering the courtyard, she directly brought Lin Long to her studio, but for the sake of having a few servant girls follow her, she didn't enter any further.
The studio was very big, with all sorts of paintings hanging on the walls. These paintings were all extremely exquisite, even Lin Long who had his own understanding of painting could not help but nod his head.
