C110 Circulating (1/2)

”This guy is clearly trying to pull me into his group.”

Outside of Sacred Heart Lake, Qin Shaojie placed the letter in his hand into his palm, and then, a ball of flames rose slightly, completely burning the letter. However, there was a hint of seriousness behind his words.

”Some things cannot be avoided.”

The one who spoke was Liu Mubai. Although she was not clear about what was written in Qin Shaojie's letter, to be able to make the usually calm Qin Shaojie's complexion change was sufficient to explain a few things. Most importantly, he knew that the person who wrote the letter was the direct bloodline of the current royal family, Qin Mai.

Liu Mubai was someone that Qin Mai had secretly arranged for to be within the Holy Flame Academy, but as long as one was not a fool, one could see the importance Qin Mai held towards Qin Shaojie. However, the more contact Liu Mubai had with him, the more Liu Mubai admired Qin Mei's judgement. Before he had even grown up, she had already established a relationship with Qin Shaojie. Even though Qin Shaojie still did not look as talented as before, his intuition told him that Qin Shaojie's future growth was limitless.

”It seems like Elder Ye has an idea. Otherwise, with his personality, he wouldn't send me this sort of news at this moment.”

Qin Shaojie muttered to himself as he furrowed his brows. He did not have any reservations towards Liu Mubai. Furthermore, as long as they were within the Holy Flame Academy, Qin Shaojie did not believe that anyone would truly dare to attack him. Although no one else had stated it openly since the end of the True Martial Tower's cultivation, Qin Shaojie could still feel quite a few extremely powerful and obscure auras hidden in his surroundings. These auras did not have any enmity with him, rather, they were mostly used to protect him.

As long as Zhou Tian and the others weren't idiots, they would understand how important they were.

In the Great Yan Dynasty, if it was not safe even in the Holy Flame Academy, then it would be even harder to find other places. Furthermore, Qin Shaojie had always been very accurate in his judgement, so he must be Qin Mai's direct descendant.

It had been a while since Qin Mai contacted him. Unless Elder Ye made progress faster than he imagined, Qin Mi did not have the time to ask about this information for him. Elder Ye had immersed himself in the path of alchemy for so many years, he was a Grade Four Alchemist in the first place. However, the hidden relationship made him stop on the path of alchemy.

Now that he had told Elder Ye about the recipe for the antidote pill and even written down some of the refining techniques in it, it was likely that Elder Ye was very familiar with the route and was able to quickly master some of the techniques. What's more, once this detoxification pill was successfully refined, Elder Ye might be able to have a breakthrough in the field of alchemy.

However, Qin Shaojie did not care about these things, what he cared about the most now were the things written on the letter. Back then, he had specifically told Qin Mai to collect some information from the Tiangyou City's Qin family for himself, especially regarding his own biological parents. With Qin Mai's methods, finding these things was not difficult, it was just that he did not explicitly tell Qin Shaojie about it in the letter this time, but he could tell with a glance that whether it was his own parents or the Tiangyou City's Qin family, they all had a certain connection with the current dynasty.

Qin Shaojie was not surprised at all by this rumour. What surprised him was that his birth parents were actually related to the imperial family.

This was definitely not a lie that Qin Lie had intentionally pulled him into his camp. His intuition told Qin Shaojie that maybe there was some secret or something that Qin Shaojie was worried about.

In the mortal world, disputes over imperial power had existed since ancient times. Once it was involved, there would be endless trouble.

Given Qin Shaojie's temperament, he was not afraid of facing an imperial power crisis. It was just that in terms of strength, it was still not enough for the current Qin Shaojie to care about the disputes of entering the imperial power. After all, from the first glance, he knew that Qin Mai's real goal was not just to become a Ranker or a relative of the Royal Family. He wanted to become the one in charge of the Great Yan Dynasty.

Hu hu hu hu!

Qin Shaojie fiercely spat out a mouthful of foul air and also gently closed his eyes. At this time, Liu Mubai, who was at his side, also did not say a word. He understood that the current Qin Shaojie might be weighing the pros and cons of it, but the specific decisions he made did not require Liu Mubai's opinion. This youngster who looked to be about the same age as him, whether it was his eye and mind, or his methods, were both things that Liu Mubai could not compare with. Furthermore, Qin Mai had specifically told him that he would listen to Qin Shaojie's arrangements.

”The spies within the academy have probably stopped. As long as they are within the academy, they will not make a move. I can help Qin Mai lure these people out.”

As Qin Shaojie finished speaking, his eyes were staring straight at Liu Mubai. He knew that Liu Mubai was a smart person, and naturally knew the meaning behind her words.

As expected, Liu Mubai's entire body trembled this time, and her pupils shrank to the size of a needle.

”I'll get it over with.”

After a long while, Liu Mubai finally replied in a low voice. Qin Shaojie's methods could be said to be ruthless, he was going to cut off Qin Mai's retreat!

However, he also knew that some things were beyond his control. It was clear that the reason Qin Shaojie made this decision was related to the envelope he received. It seemed that the one who truly needed courage was not Qin Shaojie, but Qin Mai.

”In three days, I will be leaving the Holy Flame Academy at most.”

Nodding, Qin Shaojie turned and left as well.

He did not owe Qin Mai anything. On the contrary, the antidote Elder Ye gave him had already repaid his promise. Since they were going to cooperate, then both sides needed to show some sincerity.

It all depended on whether Qin Mai had the courage to do so.
