Chapter 166: A Request for an Explanation
Chapter 166: A Request for an Explanation
Qin Chuan pursed his lips, beads of sweat already forming on his forehead.
He knew that in the Devil Capital, countless people gave him face because of his mother's presence.
But today was different.
Undoubtedly, the person before him was not joking around when he spoke.
If his explanation was unsatisfactory, this person would not let it slide!
Qin Chuan weakly replied, "Lord Ghost Saint, I truly didn't know that this matter was related to Su Ping, and the inquiries Mu Yu made were also trivial matters! Please believe me..."
Su Ping wanted to speak, but a chill in his body prevented him from making a sound.
Lord Leng finally spoke in a calm tone, "Getting too close to the people of Eagle Kingdom, and even actively joining their Golden Heart organization, do you really want to sever ties with Dragon Kingdom? Are you planning to change your nationality next?"
With these words, Qin Chuan's face turned even paler, and he was unable to explain anything.
Because what he said was the truth.
"Relying on the relationship between Sang Saint and President Qin, with their background and capabilities, using Dragon Kingdom's resources, and then seeking out an organization in Eagle Kingdom? I now suspect, is this your intention, or did Sang Saint or President Qin also have other thoughts?"
Upon hearing this, not only did Qin Chuan's expression change, but even Qin Erlong, who was standing beside him, turned pale.
This accusation was too severe.
Not only for him, but even his own wife would not dare to be associated with it in the slightest.
"Lord Ghost Saint, Qin Chuan has only been in Eagle Kingdom for a short time. I can guarantee with my life that he has no ill intentions towards Dragon Kingdom!
Qin Chuan just doesn't want to be under my and Ah Sang's protection. Please understand. I can assure you that this will never happen again."
"You guarantee..."
Lord Leng scoffed, but did not continue. The implied meaning was clear.
However, at this moment, Su Ping finally realized that the chill that had prevented him from speaking had disappeared.
Only then did he understand the good intentions behind his Second Uncle's actions.
He coughed lightly, pretending to be casual, "Second Uncle, I think this matter has nothing to do with Old Qin, and President Qin truly doesn't know about Mu Yu's situation. Let's just forget about it, shall we?"
Second Uncle?
This was the first time Su Ping had used this term in front of Qin and Liu.
At this moment, the doubts that had been lingering in their minds were finally resolved.
However, immediately after, an even greater perplexity emerged.
How did this Lord Ghost Saint become the second uncle of this young man?
They had known Su Ping for quite some time and understood him quite well.
Where did this young man get such an extraordinary background?
It was truly a mystery.
Qin Chuan, standing beside him, was also at a loss.
He looked at the young man with a complex expression, and for a moment, countless thoughts flooded his mind, but he didn't know how to express them.
Lord Leng had no intention of truly punishing Qin Chuan.
Although he often acted without restraint, it was on a personal level.
As for Qin Chuan, it was a different matter. The person in the Devil Capital was related to the entire Dragon Kingdom.
The necessary changes in education.
The transformation of the rules for the professional Beastmaster examinations.
Supporting Beastmasters from ordinary families after they graduate from the Junior Beastmaster Academy.
As well as the rules and restrictions for admissions to the Senior Beastmaster Academy.
Numerous policy changes needed to be tested and implemented.
The person in the Devil Capital was at the forefront of these changes.
Killing his son at this time would indeed cause too many complications.
However, while a death sentence could be waived, a living punishment was inevitable. Lord Leng truly despised Qin Chuan, who had returned after a few years abroad and disrespected his ancestors.
Enjoying the resources of Dragon Kingdom, with his parents in high positions, he still thought of sucking up to the people of Eagle Kingdom. If this were his own son, Lord Leng would not waste words and would directly let Lan Ling deal with him.
Therefore, the purpose of this speech was to give him a chance to change his ways.
Whether Qin Chuan lived or died was of no consequence, nor did it matter what happened to his parents in Lord Leng's eyes.
However, the upcoming grand plan for Dragon Kingdom could not afford any mistakes! So, although he disliked it, Lord Leng rarely held back.
Of course, he also wanted to give the young man some face and a favor.
After listening to Su Ping's words, he decided to let it go and thought for a moment before nodding, "Fine, I'll let it go for your sake, but if there's even a hint of this again, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Without waiting for the others to react, he gave Su Ping a look and left the interrogation room first.
Su Ping sighed helplessly, "Old Liu, I'll find time to go for tea with you again."
Old Liu smiled and waved his hand, feeling at ease.
Qin Erlong, standing beside him, also quickly put on a smile and waved his hand. After Su Ping and Dong Muchun and Lin Lei, who had been watching the whole time, left, his face finally turned completely gloomy.
Liu Fuhai glanced at him and then at Qin Chuan on the other side. This time, he didn't say anything and didn't even accompany Qin Erlong any further, leaving ahead of him.
The others present were also observant.
All the interrogators who came out of the interrogation room, including Captain Gu Hao and Director Qu Ming, hurriedly left the room.
For a moment, only the father and son remained in the interrogation room.
Qin Erlong gazed out the window, at the slowly emerging pale dawn.
A night's time had passed.
This night was the most memorable one for Old Qin in over a decade.
It was also the most difficult night.
On one side was his son, and on the other, his most favored junior, who had a good chance of taking their relationship further.
However, after this night, the future was uncertain.
Although, in reality, Qin Chuan's subjective relationship with Qin Chuan was indeed not that significant.
But the fact was that Qin Chuan, without knowing, had given Mu Yu information that almost cost Su Ping his life.
And the arrival of the Ghost Saint was even more unexpected.
So, looking at the distant pale sky, Qin Erlong finally spoke:
"I won't tell Xiaoxue about this. It's not worth it to hate his parents for a lifetime like you do."
The first sentence caused Qin Chuan to purse his lips.
"But you can't hide it from your mother, so you need to be prepared. In a while, you'll have to tell her yourself. Then, admit your mistakes and either sell or give away that dog-shit company of yours.
After that, go to the Magic Capital and become a lecturer!"
"Dad!" Qin Chuan blurted out, his eyes filled with reluctance.
But in the end, he could only lower his head. "I understand."
He knew that this time, it wasn't his parents asking him to do this.
That person wouldn't talk to him about any favors.
So, under Qin Erlong's gaze, Qin Chuan picked up the phone.
He dialed a number he never wanted to call in his life.
"Hello, I never thought I'd see the day when you'd take the initiative to call me..."
"..."
...
Su Ping didn't know what was happening in the interrogation room, but he could guess a little.
In fact, he didn't understand why Qin Xiaoxue had such a father.
But no matter what, for the sake of Miss Qin, he wouldn't do anything, and Qin Erlong had also treated him very well.
So, Su Ping didn't hold any grudges against Qin Chuan, just curiosity.
Seeing his confusion, Lord Leng smiled on the way back:
"Don't look like that. The woman in the Magic Capital isn't that fierce, but she has a strong desire for control. When the Qin family kid was young, everything was arranged for him, even his marriage."
At this point, Lord Leng clicked his tongue:
"In short, it's a soap opera because of a woman and a marriage partner. The Qin family kid has been suppressing his feelings for so many years that he finally exploded.
But in the end, he succumbed to his mother's authority. Then, it's said that some messy things happened later, his wife died, and he went abroad for a few years."
Obviously, Lord Leng wasn't interested in this story at all. After briefly mentioning it, he changed the subject with Su Ping:
"If you want to know more about their dog-shit mess, you can ask others later. After we finish this last thing, I'll head back to Northern Plain."
Lord Leng paused and continued,
"You can also rest assured that no one will come looking for you about the Sword Seal again."
Charles believed that the Dragon Kingdom was trying to lure the snake out of its hole and also knew that the true Heavenly Tomb Sword Seal was now in his hands.
Su Ping, holding the treasure, would no longer attract attention after being exposed.
"Of course, you should still be careful. But I estimate that in the coming time, the defense here won't be as tight."
The Legion and the two major associations would likely focus on this.
Even further development of the Linzhou suburbs was possible.
A night's time,
passed quietly.
Standing at the entrance of Heart of Wood, Su Ping watched the slowly rising sun and morning glow in the distance, feeling a bit surreal.
Indeed, a lot had happened this night.
After a night of absence, Su Ping led Lord Leng to the guest room of Heart of Wood.
Seeing Su Ping still in a daze, Lord Leng spoke directly:
"Little guy, you can savor these memories later. The path of a Beastmaster's growth is never smooth sailing. But now, you can make your requests to me! Yeah, go ahead and ask!"
He didn't try to hide anything about the Heavenly Tomb Sword Seal and even spoke very generously to Su Ping.
He was even afraid that Su Ping might lose out.
At this moment, various requests popped into Su Ping's mind.
Those advanced resources, high-potential Companion Beasts, various Companion Beast cultivation and evolution methods, and all sorts of messy requests.
After all, this was the time to make big demands!
