Chapter 420: Chapter 412: Looking Down on People_1

This is a form of etiquette, as well as an expression of a strict hierarchical society.

“There’s no need for formalities! Please take a seat, Miss Ye Ji!”

Qin Niu could tell from her voice that she was probably not very old, perhaps around thirty or so.

However, judging a woman’s age solely by her voice and figure was definitely not precise, especially in a world where everyone could cultivate. Some cultivators with high levels of skill, even if they had lived for two or three hundred years, might still look very young.

It was said that some exceptionally talented Immortal Masters could maintain a youthful appearance nearly indefinitely if they reached the Immortal Master level in their twenties or thirties.

The law of aging seemed to be nonexistent for them.

The footwork Ye Ji had just demonstrated was at least at the level of the Innate Realm.

Her real age was truly unpredictable.

What interested Qin Niu was not her enticing figure, nor her cool and slightly enchanting voice. It was her status as the close servant to the Gang Leader.

To be able to become the close servant of the Black Tiger Gang Leader, one must be no ordinary expert.

Even Qin Niu, when choosing his close servants, needed to pick those who were trustworthy, had good talent in cultivation, were strong, and loyal.

Not to mention the Black Tiger Gang Leader himself.

Ordinary experts of the Innate Realm probably wouldn’t even qualify to serve as his close servants.

“This is a secret letter from the Gang Leader for Master Qin. The military situation is urgent at the front, and the Gang Leader hopes Master Qin can lend a hand, to defend our home and protect the Black Tiger Gang together against the formidable enemy.”

Having finished her salute, Ye Ji also took the opportunity to size up Qin Niu.

A person whom the Black Tiger Gang Leader would send his close servant to request assistance from must possess great abilities.

Yet, the youth before her appeared to be only about sixteen years old, with an immature air still lingering on his handsome face.

There seemed to be nothing extraordinary about him.

How could such a youth have any great capabilities?

As a close servant to the Black Tiger Gang Leader, Ye Ji naturally had seen much of the world.

She had seen countless powerful individuals.

All those strong figures had an extraordinary demeanor. Qin Niu, in both his attire and presence, was no different from an ordinary country youth.

Xiao Qing received the secret letter from Ye Ji’s hands and handed it to Qin Niu.

He opened the envelope and took out the letter, which consisted of only a few dozen words.

“Our gang faces the greatest crisis since its founding. The Nine Insect Gang and the Shennong Sect have mobilized an army of four hundred thousand, sneaking across Wash Crime River to invade our Black Tiger Gang territory. The Insect Masters of the Nine Insect Gang are extremely formidable. Master Qin is a prodigy in controlling insects, and we hope you can come at once to lend the strength of your arm to our army.”

Black Tiger Gang Leader Xue Qiuhe cordially invites you.”

From the secret letter, one could easily tell that the Black Tiger Gang Leader was a straightforward person.

He did not offer any long-winded polite talk but earnestly stated the current situation briefly and then directly invited Qin Niu to come to their aid.

“By what time at the latest can I get there?”

Although Qin Niu had advanced to the Dual Innate Realm, he was acutely aware of the terror of those in the Spirit Qi Realm.

By his own wishes, if he could cultivate his Everlasting Spring Technique to the Spirit Qi Realm, plus the multitude of pets he possessed, he would basically be able to face any situation calmly.

As of now, however, things were a bit too rushed.

“The battle at the front is intense, and it would be best if Master Qin could set out immediately. If you arrive too late and the Black Tiger Gang is defeated, there would be no chance to turn the tide of defeat.”

Ye Ji said.

“As a member of the Black Tiger Gang, it is my bounden duty to help defend against the invading enemy. However, my current level of cultivation is shallow, and with the Nine Insect Gang and Shennong Sect boasting numerous strong figures, including many in the Spirit Qi Realm, I am afraid I may not be of much use if I go now. I could even be easily slain by the strong enemies among their ranks.”

Qin Niu had his own concerns.

He certainly did not want the Black Tiger Gang to suffer defeat.

Having killed two elders and many experts of the Nine Insect Gang, and having significantly foiled their grand schemes, the enmity with the Nine Insect Gang was complete.

If the Black Tiger Gang were defeated, the Nine Insect Gang would surely not let him off.

“The Gang Leader has instructed me to ensure Master Qin’s safety. When the time comes, besides me, there will also be another one of the Gang Leader’s close servants to protect Master Qin.”
