"Young Master, Ah Qing is suspicious?"
Ah Qing asked. Perhaps it was because there was something he couldn't understand, so his face was a little red. He was truly adorable.
Honestly speaking, although Ah Qing couldn't be considered a peerless beauty, a beauty capable of bringing calamity upon a nation, she wasn't someone that ordinary beauties could compare with.
"What's the problem?" "Tell me about it."
Qin Fann and Long looked at each other and chuckled.
"Although Young Master is respectful to the Prince of Sea Country, Ah Qing still feels that Young Master can maintain a distance and doesn't intend to sincerely befriend him. But after all, he is here to help my country! For a prince to be able to quell the blood tide with his own risk, why is Young Master always on your guard against such a person? "
"Dragon, what do you think?"
Qin Fann looked at the dragon.
"Dazhong is a great evil, and Daxian is a great traitor." The dragon said calmly.
Qin Fann also nodded.
Ah Qing was intelligent to begin with. Upon being reminded by the dragon, she seemed to come to a realization.
"Young Master, Mister Long, you mean to say, that Sea Country prince is very likely a traitor?"
"Hahahaha..." Qin Fann laughed.
"I don't know if it's big or small, but it's best not to offend me. Otherwise, no matter how big the crime is, I can make him regret he was born into this world."
With that, he stopped thinking about the Hai siblings who had already left.
However, before they could even warm up their butts, a small yellow door ran in under Wang Hou's lead. He was also holding a yellow silk scroll in his hand — the imperial edict.
"Sigh!" "It's just been a while, Qin is here as if he smelled something fishy."
Without waiting for the small yellow door to open to read the imperial edict, he immediately snatched it away.
Indeed, it was the content which urged him to return to his Ming Capital.
At that moment, the Hai siblings who were discussed by Qin Fann and the others were also discussing Qin Fann.
"Donglee, how are you feeling?"
Hai Donglee was no longer as brainless as before. His face was sullen and his eyes were full of anger, but it was hidden.
"He is quite intelligent. This brother had expressed his goodwill several times, but he always kept a distance. It is clear that he was raised to be cautious when he was at the Chiming Country as a proton."
"This kind of caution can be good or bad, but with his current identity, it's still better than bad. From our observations these few days, we have determined that Qin Fann is just a pawn in the hands of Emperor Mingyu, used to attract conflict and took the opportunity to eliminate some unstable forces.
Hai Dongqing nodded.
"That's right!" This Qin Fann, his methods were ruthless. He never gave anyone any chance to escape. He was truly a terrifying character. Someone like that will become a huge threat to our Sea Country in the future. "
Hai Donglee frowned slightly when he heard that.
"Will royal father really fall out with the Bright Jade Country?"
"The current situation is not clear, but there have already been people who have come into contact with me. This time, it is an opportunity for our Sea Country. If Bright Jade Country is truly destroyed, then our Sea Country will take the opportunity to expand our territory. I really wonder what royal father is thinking, how pedantic is that. "
Hai Donglee chuckled. There was a trace of disdain in his eyes.
"It's just that the height is different. In terms of Xuangu Island, only us and Bright Jade Country belongs to the great forces of Endless Sea. Although we have already been abandoned by Main Family, who can say for sure? Unless the Bright Jade Country is removed by the Endless Sea of the Bright Jade Empire, it is impossible for royal father to use it. "
"Sigh …"
Hai Dongqing, who was full of ambition, could only sigh after hearing his sister's words.
Ming Capital, Heavenly Pavilion.
There were fifty-four floors in the capital, which meant that there were fifty-four famous restaurants within the Ming Capital. The fifth, fourth, and tenth floors would be ranked once a year.
Tianxing Tower was ranked third in the 54th floor every year.
Not only were the dishes superb, but if one were to eat them once, he would think for a month. Even more so, it would be the Heaven's Pride Wine of the Grand Pavilion.
There were only three hundred and sixty-five pots a year, and at the end of the year, there were also a hundred pots in the imperial palace.
This meant that the money needed to buy a jar of wine was enough to buy a large house in the capital.
Every day, the place was packed with people and guests. Usually, a meal had to be booked a week or two in advance before there would be a place.
However, no one would have thought that there would be an extremely secretive underground palace two hundred meters below the Grand Pavilion.
The underground palace wasn't big, it was only a thousand square meters.
The entire underground palace was illuminated by the bright light.
A thousand square meters of space with an enormous blood pool in the middle occupied more than a hundred square meters. At this moment, the blood inside was boiling.
A young man was soaking in a pool of blood. On his head, a dark red bead was crazily devouring the young man's spirit energy and the blood energy that had come from the pool of blood.
This person was Xue Mingxiu, who escaped from Zhou Shang's group.
Boom … Boom … Boom …
The sounds of movement woke Xue Mingxiu up from the pool.
"Your injuries are very serious …"
From the looks of the voice, he was in his sixties or seventies. His appearance could not be seen clearly, and his entire being was concealed by a blood-red robe.
"It's just a small wound. If you feel sorry for your blood pool, you can ignore me."
Xue Mingxiu's expression was terrible, but his tone did not change at all as he said in a deep voice that was not friendly at all.
"Small injury? The tone of the Holy Son was as arrogant as ever! This old man has meticulously refined this blood pool for dozens of years. Sir Holy Son's minor injuries have actually consumed a third of the blood pool's vitality. This minor injury is truly … "
He stopped talking and left behind half a sentence for Xue Mingxiu to guess.
"Hmph …"
Xue Mingxiu didn't say anything.
"Once your injuries have been healed, Lord Holy Son, please stay here and recuperate!" Recently, you're not allowed to appear. "
"The forces that we have been hiding for decades and have secretly developed have been completely annihilated this time around. Does the Holy Son not have anything to say to this old man? "
Xue Mingxiu suddenly opened his eyes and glared at the old man.
"Do you mean that this is all my responsibility? Don't forget, you were the one who planned this incident. At the very most, we were only executing the plan. "My Lord Protector."
The old man waved his hand.
"There is no point in pursuing the details now. Lord Holy Son, hand over the Blood Demon Pearl! Right now, you need to focus on recuperating. It's better if I take care of the Blood Demon Pearl. "
With that, he extended a pair of slightly aged but obviously well-maintained hands.
"Old fool, what did you say …"
Xue Mingxiu suddenly stood up from the pool and looked at the old man with killing intent.
"I say, you should rest."
The old man didn't move, but his tone suddenly turned cold.
Xue Mingxiu felt that something was wrong, but it was already too late.
The blood in the blood pool was like snakes that began to wrap around him. Finally, they seeped into his skin and entered his blood vessels, flowing through them and into his body.
"Blood Demon Pearl, I'll keep it for you."
Boom …
The first generation Holy Son exploded with a loud bang.
The old man was not affected in the slightest. He put the Blood Demon Pearl away and then slowly walked outside.
At the same time, Qin Fann's carriage entered the city leisurely.
