C298 Not Human!(1)
Qingtian was very surprised. At the same time, he was also very surprised. "Aren't these three enemies? Why are they together now? Could it be that they really saw through something? " Only God knew why these three enemies were together!
But no matter what, we have to first stabilize them. Qingtian welcomed them warmly at the city gates. "The three city lords have come from afar. This kid is truly grateful. Hurry up and enter the city. I've prepared food and wine for the three of you." After saying that, he brought the three of them to Unfalling City.
The three of them had gloomy expressions on their faces and didn't say anything. Each of them had their own thoughts on how to deal with the situation. Although they had reached an agreement for the time being, they weren't on the same side after all. On the contrary, the few of them had been looking at each other in Sword Draw not long ago, so they were all thinking about how to fight for greater benefits in front of this new patriarch.
As the saying goes, the victory of revolution usually starts from the inside of the enemy. It was precisely because of this that the three of them did not reach a consensus in the end. Instead, they silently formed an opposition in their hearts. This would make things easier for him in the future.
Everyone arrived at City Lord's Mansion. Qingtian and old patriarch accompanied the three city lords for dinner. During the meal, they started to probe Qingtian.
"Patriarch Ashlow, although you are said to be very young, it is only after seeing you that I know. So, you are even younger than the legends. This really surprises me. Sure enough, there are talented people in every generation. We people can't accept old age anymore." The first one to speak was Ginger. He was the oldest among the three of them. That was why he had to be the first one to speak.
"Hehe, Senior Ginger, what are you talking about? This kid is just lucky. He is still far from being as experienced as the few of you. His purpose this time is to seek guidance from the few of you. After all, I have just ascended the throne, so I don't know much about the structure of the continent. All of you are people who can speak here. I hope you can take care of them." As he spoke, he raised his wine glass and took the lead to drink. His words were quite appropriate and made them feel very comfortable. Especially Auden, when he heard Tian Qingtian's praise, he couldn't help but feel a little smug.
Ginger was still alright, although he felt that this brat's words couldn't be completely trusted. But the wariness in my heart is still a little less. Only Duan was silent. No one could tell what was special about his expression. Qingtian secretly noted down their changes and analyzed their personalities in his heart. He prepared to attack separately. What he learned from old patriarch's information was definitely different from what he had truly come into contact with. Therefore, he was still prepared to deal with it carefully.
"I heard that you have come into contact with the chrysanthemum of Storm City? And you have a pretty good conversation with it." This short sentence caused the entire scene to fall into silence. Everyone was staring at Qingtian, waiting to see what he would say.
They had already expected this to happen. Since they already knew that Chrysanthemum had been here before... This meant that the three of them must have been here before the old man arrived in Unfalling City. The meeting between Chrysanthemum and him was very public, so it wasn't strange for them to know about it. This made Qingtian even more certain of his judgment. "These three guys have already hooked up with each other. They are here to test my attitude." Thinking of this, Atlas took out a plan that he had prepared beforehand.
"That's true. Senior Ju came here three days earlier than you. However, we didn't have any proper business to discuss with him. Since we're here, he's been clamoring to compete with me. I have no choice. I think you know his personality. If I don't follow up, it might be very embarrassing. So I bit the bullet and fought with him. In the end, it's not convenient to say it here. There are so many people here, after all, I'm the clan head. It wouldn't be nice to say it out loud. After hearing from his words, I heard that he still admires the kid, so we can talk about it more. However, he doesn't seem to be interested in the matters on the continent at all. Sigh... It means nothing. I didn't get any benefits from him at all!" Tian Qingtian deliberately made it sound like he was wronged. In any case, the outcome of the competition wouldn't be known to anyone. Since he didn't say it out loud, he would let them guess as they pleased. Perhaps no one would guess that Chrysanthemum would lose.
As expected, someone immediately fell for it. "Patriarch, you don't have to be discouraged. That old Chrysanthemum is famous for being strong on the continent. We won't easily provoke him. It's not shameful to lose to him, but you can still fight him. It's impossible to find him to take care of you in terms of power. That old man doesn't care about these things at all. If it wasn't for those few smart people under him... That old man definitely wouldn't be as charismatic as he is now." Auden immediately changed his mind after hearing Tian Qingtian's description. It was already good enough for such a young child to defeat the Great Elder. And he was still deluding himself to challenge that abnormal freak, Chrysanthemum? There had been no mistakes from the beginning until the end, so he quickly believed Tian Qingtian's words.
"Yeah, the patriarch is still so young. The world will be yours from now on. Don't worry, don't worry. " Ginger also chimed in from the side, although he was skeptical about what Qingtian had said. But it's no longer as suspicious as it was at first. Only the man from Ivano City remained silent, as if he didn't believe what he just said.
Seeing that his words had an obvious effect, Qingtian was very happy. However, it wasn't as good as he had imagined, because Duan was obviously the core of the three of them. There were many things that he was in charge of. Moreover, this person was extremely gloomy. He couldn't understand him at all. The most important thing was that this guy didn't believe him at all. The most important thing right now was how to gain his trust.
"Indeed, but I have gained something from fighting him. Senior Chrysanthemum has already said that she won't make things difficult for me in the future." Qingtian was telling the truth. He had also said that Chrysanthemum wouldn't make things difficult for him in the future. Objectively speaking, he didn't lie to them.
" Oh? Looks like you're not bad! To be able to say such words from that stubborn old man, he definitely would not be weak in comparison to his strength. Young people have a way to develop!" Upon hearing the other party's' heartfelt sincerity ', even Ginger somewhat believed it. Auden, who was standing at the side, had already regarded Qingtian as the same person as the Great Elder. He no longer had any doubts, treating him as a 'friend' and returning to his original self. He kept sizing up the beauties around him.
"Since that's the case, I would like to ask the patriarch why you called us here. It can't be that you're just repeating the Great Elder's plan, right? " At this moment, the voice sounded once again. Every time, it was about the key issues. This caused the two people who had just let down their guard to once again focus on Atlas.
"This old fart, it's always you. I have to think of a way to get rid of him. At the very least, destroy their alliance." Although he was a little angry, Qingtian was prepared. He smiled and said, "Let's eat first and discuss this later. It's our first day here. I don't think we're in a hurry, right? "
"You'd better tell us as soon as possible. We're all city lords, so we're very busy. Don't waste our time here." He didn't give Tian Qingtian any chance to calm down as he pressed on.
"Looks like I can't not give them some benefits today." As he thought about this, Tian Qingtian waved his hand and all the maids around him retreated. old patriarch was the only one left. There were only five people left in the room. It was convenient to say anything now.
Auden, on the other hand, was a little angry. He was flirting with a pretty maid. He was thinking of telling the patriarch later to bring her here. The Unfalling City was different. Every girl here was more beautiful than the last! However, he still remembered the agreement between the three of them. Although it was a pity... However, business was more important. It wouldn't be too late for him to hook up with them after discussing this topic. Thus, he didn't get angry, but his expression betrayed his feelings long ago.
Actually, this girl was specially arranged by old patriarch to seduce Auden here. If he had known earlier that this girl was lustful, he would have found quite a number of girls to disguise themselves as maids and wanted to be the first one to separate him.
"This bastard! Why is it always him! No, he had to think of a way. If this continues, my efforts will be in vain. I have to get rid of it!" As he thought of this, Qingtian carefully examined the broken part. Suddenly, he discovered something terrifying - this broken part was not human at all.
