Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1130B – I’m So Tired

Cloud Boundless frowned as he listened to Cloud Mist explain the timeline of events. He looked at Qin Yu and said, “Little friend Qin Yu, since you share wealth and woe with the Old King’s Lineage now, perhaps it’s time for you to give me an explanation.”

His eyebrows drooped and he had an unkind expression. This was a realistic bluff…if Qin Yu hadn’t guessed the thoughts of the Old King’s Lineage already, he might have been deterred here.

But now? Hoho, if I don’t explain, what can you do about it? If you dare to touch me, that is the same as disobeying your ancestor!

Qin Yu lightly coughed and said, “In truth, I am also a bit confused about this matter. I feel that I know something, but I can’t figure it out.”

He lifted a hand and slapped his forehead, a helpless expression plastered on his face. “I think that this Qi Zhen person has no evil intention towards me. Moreover, he will even help me obtain the throne of the Nightmare King.”

Cloud Boundless’ lips twitched. Just what kind of response was this? He might as well have not spoken at all!

And what do you mean you are confused? And why do you think Qi Zhen will help you? Since this involves the Nightmare Throne, do you really think the Ancient King’s Lineage will do something as stupid as surrendering and helping you?

This is basically impossible!

If anyone else dared to say this, Cloud Boundless would have slapped them and taught them what the fate of those who spoke nonsense was.

But the one who said this was Qin Yu…the reincarnation of the late King…cough cough, if he ever regained his memories in the future…wouldn’t the first question he was asked be how he wanted to die?

Moreover, others would surely be speaking nonsense, but Qin Yu’s words…uh, it might not necessarily be impossible…

After all, since this involved the late King, who knew what secrets were involved? And perhaps Qi Zhen, someone who awakened the royal bloodline, might be a chess piece laid down by the late King.

Cloud Boundless forced a smile. “Little friend Qin, can’t you reveal a bit of the truth to me? My Old King’s Lineage has bet their entire lives and wealth on you. If anything happens, our entire family will be slain!”

This old fellow was actually pretending to be sad and pitiful…Qin Yu was left speechless. Compared to him, his shamelessness was still far, far too weak.

And with Cloud Boundless’ character, Qin Yu didn’t believe he had no other plans…even if the Ancient King’s Family captured the Nightmare Throne, it might be true that the Old King’s Lineage would suffer heavy losses, but they wouldn’t be so easily exterminated.

This old schemer definitely had some backup plan!

“Cough! Clan Elder, don’t worry. I will surely do my best to obtain the throne and ensure your safety.” Qin Yu struck his chest, as if saying they could all rely on him. “But I haven’t clarified this matter yet. Once I do, Clan Elder will be the first one I tell!”

Cloud Boundless clenched his jaws. Qin Yu was clearly putting up walls. It was like a tiger biting a hedgehog; there was no place to begin!

Cloud Boundless believed that Qin Yu hadn’t figured everything out, but to say that he knew nothing…hoho, that was simply impossible!

If he didn’t know anything, why would he disappear off somewhere with Qi Zhen? The two of them had to be hiding some secret.

“Hehe, Cloud Boundless…your name is good, I like it.” A voice resounded in the void and Qi Zhen emerged. He looked at him and said, “And your disposition is also good. You are ruthless and completely shameless. You must have lived a long time!”

Cloud Boundless’ heart quaked. Although the tent was simple, he had already blocked it off so that outsiders couldn’t eavesdrop.

But now, an intruder had broken in, and he hadn’t detected anything at all…or to be more accurate, his barrier wasn’t useful against Qi Zhen at all!

This was the completely awakened royal bloodline? It was so terrifying!

Cloud Boundless took a deep breath and composed himself. Just as he was about to say something his body stiffened.

Qi Zhen continued to stare at him and faintly smile.

A certain aura overflowed from this faint smile, making him feel as if he was suppressed by a heaven-towering mountain. Even his heartbeat seemed to come to a halting stop.

This aura…this aura…impossible, it was impossible!

Cloud Boundless roared inwardly. This was because he had personally experienced this feeling before…it was the suppression he felt from the late King!

How could Qi Zhen…how could he…Qin Yu was clearly the reincarnation of the late King…

“Little kid, I have no intention of harming Qin Yu. In fact, I will do everything in my power to help him obtain the throne of the new King. So don’t be so curious about what is happening between us. And don’t tell anyone about this either, otherwise you will experience trouble.”

Qi Zhen blinked his eyes and patted Cloud Boundless’ shoulder. “Good, then we’ve come to an agreement!” He looked at Qin Yu and brightly smiled, “Things have gone much smoother than I anticipated. Let’s go. Once the goods have been examined and verified, we can begin arranging plans.”

Qin Yu’s lips twitched. Was he the ‘goods’ to be examined? This old fellow must be joking with him! But whatever, he wouldn’t haggle with him over this. Of course, Qin Yu didn’t have the confidence to haggle with him to begin with.

His eyes moved to Cloud Mist who had fallen into a completely frozen state. She seemed to be isolated in an independent space where time stopped, and where she had no idea what was happening outside.

“Don’t worry, it’s just a minor method of mine. I don’t want her to know about this…after all, you also know that it’s hard to trust a woman’s mouth.”

Qi Zhen shrugged, “This is definitely not discrimination. On the contrary, I was obsessed with them in the past…oh, that is the best gift of the abyss, it leaves one wallowing in addiction!”

Qin Yu took a deep breath. He felt that this Qi Zhen person might have lived for too long and that there was something strange with his brain because of it.

Working with such a person wasn’t a normal level of stress. Qin Yu felt that he really might play himself to death this time.

If only he had a choice…but what a pity, he didn’t!

He said, “Let’s go.”

If he had no choice, he could only follow this one road down to its end. As for whether he lived or died, that would all depend on his fate!

Qi Zhen flicked his sleeves. The two people directly vanished, and then the space within the tent was restored to normal.

Cloud Mist’s eyes widened. “Clan Elder? Where is Qin Yu?”

Cloud Boundless was shocked and his eyes were complex. He felt that things had spiraled out of his control.

Qi Zhen…just who was he…was Qin Yu really…the reincarnation of the late King…if he wasn’t, who was he….

It was all chaotic. The originally good situation had turned into a chaotic mess!

Now that those two were together, although he had no idea what was happening, he felt that something big was going to occur. As for Cloud Mist’s question? Should he tell her? Of course not.

He didn’t believe what Qi Zhen said before he left at all. Because having a big mouth was completely unrelated to one’s gender.

He took a deep breath and said, “An issue popped up so he left ahead of time…Cloud Mist, no matter what Qin Yu plans on doing, do not interfere.”

Cloud Mist frowned. He left? When did he leave? She didn’t even see it! Moreover, there was something strange going on with the Clan Elder’s expression right now.

She felt a bit dejected, hesitant, and confused…this was the first time she had seen such a complicated change of emotions on the Clan Elder’s face.

Cloud Mist’s lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she was interrupted by him. Cloud Boundless sighed and walked away.

Cloud Boundless couldn’t figure it out. In the blink of an eye, how had things come to this step? My head hurts, I need some rest and quiet!

…

In Thousandhonor Marquis’ tent, Qi Zhen turned and glanced at Qin Yu. “Don’t worry, that kid Cloud Boundless is smart and won’t speak randomly. I just gave him a warning so that he doesn’t provoke further trouble.”

Qin Yu nodded in understanding. He bowed, “I greet Thousandhonor Marquis.”

As Thousandhonor Marquis looked at Qin Yu, even though he had heard what Qi Zhen said before, his face was still filled with stunned disbelief.

It was really true!

This was a person who was clearly unrelated to ‘Shadow’, and yet he had the same special characteristics as them.

If he didn’t see this with his own eyes, he never would have believed it…perhaps Qi Zhen was right. Some mysterious and powerful existence stood behind Qin Yu.

Qi Zhen’s lips curled up. “Do you believe me now? If there’s no other objection, let’s talk about cooperating.”

“Good!” Thousandhonor Marquis took a deep breath and let it out, “I hope we succeed this time.”

Qi Zhen snapped his fingers, “We will!”

Qin Yu: …

You two came to an agreement like this, but did you forget about something?

Me? What about me?

As a necessary member of this cooperation, I am still ignorant about what is going on here!

Is it really good to leave things like this?

I’m so tired!
