Chapter 622 – A Promise of Alliance (1/2)

Si Qing made a promise, but the killing intent in his heart did not lessen at all. Misleading was also a part of hunting. In order to deal with intelligent prey, he had to use intelligence too.

“That’s fantastic, but I want to refine the waters of the Ruyi commandery…” Northmoon’s eyes lit up as if he was very interested yet rather doubtful.

“You can refine the rivers and lakes of the Ruyi commander freely. We won’t obstruct you at all,” Si Qing said generously, but he thought inside, Your Water God Seal is mine. Only by refining the mountains and waters before combining it with the power of belief of the people can you refine the true Seal of Mountains and Rivers. Its power is so great that even Soul Nascence cultivators cannot be careless when facing it.

Li Qingshan smiled. “You sure are much more generous than Jiang Fu. Not bad, not bad!”

Jia Zhen said, “A coincidental meeting is far better than an invitation. Why don’t you return to the marquis’ estate with us so that we can discuss how we rule over the Ruyi commandery?”

“About this… Is there anything good in the marquis’ estate?”

Si Qing said, “Delicious food and wine; music and dance; rare and precious treasures; whatever you want!”

“Are there any beauties?”

“So Northmoon has an interest in this. There are numerous beauties for you to freely choose from.”

“That’s great, but I just wonder if any of these beauties are prettier than Qiu Haitang? Oh right, I think I killed a few people a few days ago. They claimed to be the disciples of some E Dan person. Don’t tell me you’re E Dan!” Li Qingshan smiled as his gaze drifted over to E Dan’s face.

E Dan showed no anger at all. Instead he laughed aloud. “Sect master Qiu is obviously a rare beauty. Great minds sure do think alike, but she’s not the only beauty in the world. Once we return to the marquis’ estate, we can admire and evaluate the various beauties of the Ruyi commandery together. As for my disappointing disciples, if you’ve killed them, then you’ve killed them. You’ve saved them from running around and embarrassing me. I really need to thank you for this!”

“Fellow E truly is a straightforward man. I like it!” Li Qingshan praised loudly, but he thought inside, If you had spoken like this right from the beginning, why would I have my mind set on killing you?

“It’s quite late now. Let’s go!”

“Alright, then I await your arrival in the marquis’ estate.” Si Qing clasped his hands and flew away with Jia Zhen and E Dan.

Li Qingshan rubbed his chin. He watched the three of them vanish into the horizon as he smiled in thought. “This sure is interesting. Heh, these crafty humans, but I’m no different from you!”

The three of them directly returned to the estate. E Dan asked, “Will he buy this?”

Jia Zhen swung his feather fan gently. “Don’t tell me what I said earlier made no sense? Don’t worry, no matter how cautious someone is, they’ll lower their guard as time goes on. We can still make good use of him before we kill him. The death of your son will definitely be avenged.”

The three of them glanced at each other while smiling. At this moment, caretaker Zheng came in and reported, “Your highness, a Qi Practitioner wishes to see you!”

“A Qi Practitioner? Send him away!”

“He says he has a great secret to offer up to your highness!”

“Oh? Then send him in. If he’s just trying to amuse me, hmph!”

A while later, caretaker Zheng brought in a jittery young man. He dropped to his knees as soon as he saw Si Qing. “Greetings, your highness!”

Si Qing did not answer back, gazing at him from above indifferently. Caretaker Zheng said, “If you have anything to say, make it fast!”

“Please avenge my father, your highness!”

“Hmm? Who’s your enemy?” Si Qing said with some displeasure.
