Li Xin revealed the biggest secret in his heart: “Actually. In the past, I was inferior to Li Qiusheng. He had the resources of the Li family to support him, as well as his family’s gong methods, and he even had Li Pingsheng to guide him, so he was much stronger than me. Until I inadvertently met someone ——”
“A person?” Qing Yu had a look of confirmation on his face, “Song Ziqi?”
However, Li Xin shook his head, “Not Song Ziqi, it’s Song Fu, the Song family’s butler, I usually call him Uncle Fu.”
“No one has really met Song Ziqi. Although she is the head of the Song family, she rarely really comes out, and the few times she appears in front of the public, she wears a veil. But her control over the Song family is not cut back in the slightest by this. It is said that her opinions cannot be ignored even by the Song Family’s Ascended Elder Ancestors.”
“Is that so? The Song Family is Song Ziqi’s one-word house?” Qing Yu felt a little strange.
During the feudal period, the inheritance of the clan was the top priority of a family. That was why, regardless of status, rich or poor, the most important thing in the family was always the male child.
In the Song family, Song Ziyu was a fop and the family was headed by a woman, Song Ziqi.
The point is that this woman is also very capable, and the family is all her words.
This is a bit wrong, a woman in charge of the family, not to mention the world’s opinion, just the family’s resistance is far greater than the outsiders’ opinion. Does the Song family still want Song Ziqi to inherit the position of city lord?
Of course, these were all catch-22s. If, at first, the Four Families’ dossier Xiao Gao had given himself did not contain just a few sentences about Song Ziqi ——
Qing Yu recalled the dossier Xiao Gao had sent when he first took over Xuan Guang’s errand, when Xuan Guang was still Mr. Mo.
In the dossier, it was a big book for the other three families. The Song family was the only one where the head of the family was lethargic and incompetent, the future heir was a fop, and everything was being held together by a woman. If not for the city guards and the Innate Realm experts, it would be difficult to collect taxes from the other three families every year.
”There’s a problem.” Qing Yu confirmed in his heart.
However, there was one more point and Qing Yu asked, “Why does the Song family want to teach you martial arts?”
“I think —— it’s to plant a nail in the Li family, right?” Li Xin said with a bit of disconfirmation.
“At first, I thought of collaborating with the Song family in the future to eradicate the Li family, but Uncle Fu was slow to suggest it. Later, I did everything for the Li family for the sake of my mother, whether I myself wanted to or not. Perhaps the Song family saw that I had finally succumbed to the Li family and became disappointed in me. Uncle Fu also gradually broke off contact with me.” Li Xin shook his head and laughed bitterly.
This way —— is also right, if he really had the life of a protagonist, he would have started disliking heaven and earth long ago, why would he still spend all day wiping Li Quyin’s a*s until he met me to turn over a new leaf.
Thinking this way, Qing Yu said to Li Xin: “The city lord’s house is by no means simple. Now it seems that I was too light on the Song family before. It’s a good thing that it’s not too late to find out.”
Speaking here, Qing Yu suddenly said, “You go out and spy on the news first, while I run my kung fu again to heal my wounds as soon as possible.”
“Yes.” Li Xin bowed and answered.
After Li Xin went out, Qing Yu said, “Come out.”
The room was empty, and Qing Yu spoke as if to air.
Suddenly, the window door moved slightly, and when he blinked again, there was an additional man in black with a smooth black mask in the room, none other than Xiao Gao.
Although Li Xin’s realm was higher than Qing Yu’s, his spiritual senses were far less sensitive than Qing Yu’s. Perhaps because he had been a human being in two lives, Qing Yu’s spiritual sense was far superior to that of ordinary people, and even before he practised martial arts, his senses were very sharp.
However, Xiao Gao was an innate expert after all, so if he hadn’t deliberately let out a bit of his breath, Qing Yu wouldn’t have been able to sense him.
“You’ve done well.” Little Gao’s voice was still flat and inaudible, no ripples could be heard.
“It was a bit reckless after all, so much so that I was injured so badly.” Qing Yu laughed bitterly.
In the battle to capture Li Ping-sheng, most of the Iron Daggers’ participants were killed by Li Ping-sheng who suddenly rose up from the ground. The little that remained, Qing Yu had silenced quietly in case what Li Ping Sheng said at that time was leaked.
So, Mr Mo, or rather Xuan Guang, still thought that Qing Yu was still in the dark.
After all, Qing Yu’s appearance was too deceptive. How much could a fifteen or sixteen year old know, even if his mind was far beyond that of his peers.
Some life experiences cannot be gained without having experienced them.
In Xuan Guang’s memory, Qing Yu had been living under house arrest for the past five years, and even if he was mentally superior, in some aspects, he was still far less sophisticated than some experienced people in the jianghu.
After all, Xuan Guang still despised Qing Yu. How could he know that this fifteen or sixteen year old body was hiding a thirty-something year old soul? Counting past lives and present lives, Qing Yu’s mental age was over forty.
“It was a bit reckless,” Xiao Gao nodded, “but it was reckless enough to draw out the Sixth Sect’s people, and Mister was very pleased with that.
This bottle of healing elixir is a reward for you.”
Qing Yu took the pill bottle thrown at him and said, “Thank Mr. Mo for me.”
He paused and asked with a bit of tentativeness, “The Song family, is there a relationship with Mr Mo?”
Qing Yu did not know how long Xiao Gao had been outside the house and how much of his own conversation with Li Xin he had heard. It would be better to speak about the Song family first, instead of appearing to be frank and not arousing suspicion.
“What you shouldn’t know, don’t ask!” Xiao Gao’s voice, in a rare moment, rose and fell a little.
“I know.” Qing Yu’s eyelids dropped, an honest look with eyes and nose.
“What are Mr. Mo’s next orders?”
Xiao Gao once again returned to a flat voice and said, “Stay dormant for now. Department Six’s men will make the first move and send out their men from the Innate Realm, breaking the rules, and Mr Mo will deal with them himself. For the time being, you’d better be honest.”
“Then the bet?” Qing Yu asked.
“Things have developed a bit unexpectedly, the imperial court is coming on strong, the matter of the betting agreement has long been dropped. What, can’t part with your small half percent interest?”
“I dare not ——” said Qing Yu, shaking his hand repeatedly.
“Then be honest. As long as you are successful, even if there is no bet, the benefits will be yours.” Xiao Gao said.
Seeing that Xiao Gao wanted to leave, Qing Yu hurriedly said, “Please wait a moment.”
Xiao Gao stopped moving and said, “Is there anything else?”
“I want to ask, what is the origin of that Lord Luo, again.”
“Luo Yan, the closed-door disciple of Lu Qi Feng, the Wind Chasing Divine Constable of Department Six, a Xiantian master, if you want to take revenge for this slap, I’m afraid you won’t have much hope in this life.” After saying that, Xiao Gao disappeared into the room.
‘This Little Gao ——‘
Xiao Gao’s words were a bit mean, and for some reason, the words were always difficult for Qing Yu.
‘But really, if he’s emotionless, I can’t really do anything about him.’
As long as there are feelings, there is a weakness to catch. Sooner or later, Xiao Gao would become an enemy, or maybe he already is now. It was easier to find his weaknesses and then have a way to target them, especially, if Qingyu knew he had something against him.
“Still too young after all ——-”
Qing Yu, a man of two lives, sighed.
