Chapter 1937 - 1941: Reunion with an Old Friend
Who exactly are these black-clothed men?
Why are they at the Qin Mansion?
What is their relationship with the Fourteenth Prince?
As Qin Tian left the Qin Mansion, his heart was filled with utter shock.
It’s said that the Imperial City is filled with intrigue, as the largest city in the Spiritual Domain, with various powers surging beneath the surface.
But Qin Tian never expected that just taking a casual stroll at night, he would encounter such experts.
Moreover, these black-clothed men are well-trained and even capable of using the Invisibility Technique, something Qin Tian doesn’t even know!
"I heard them say they were planning to attack someone, who could it be?" Qin Tian had no intention of getting closer to the Qin Mansion again. Although his cultivation had reached a level where simple Invisibility Techniques could be easily seen through, he decided not to provoke these black-clothed men without knowing their identities.
"Stop!"
"Where do you think you’re going!"
"You can’t escape!"
Suddenly, waves of True Qi surged toward Qin Tian from behind!
Walking on the deserted street, Qin Tian was so frightened that he almost wet himself upon hearing the voices behind him.
He thought the black-clothed men were chasing him, and just as he was about to run, several shadows dashed past him.
Then, when Qin Tian turned around, he saw experts from the Imperial Forbidden Army and the Soul Suppressing Hall, climbing walls, swiftly giving chase.
"I thought they were after me... damn. Almost wet myself."
Qin Tian patted his chest and gave a wry smile before continuing to walk forward.
After turning a corner, Qin Tian walked into a narrow alleyway. He hadn’t taken a few steps before sensing something was amiss.
Looking down, the ground was covered in blood!
Drip by drip, the blood!
At the end of the alleyway, there was a pile of miscellaneous items and baskets, and the blood led right up to them and stopped.
Qin Tian extended his Divine Sense, carefully perceiving and easily detecting a person hiding beneath the pile of items.
He walked over, hesitating in his mind whether to make contact.
Obviously, this person must be the one whom the Forbidden Army and the Soul Suppressing Hall were chasing earlier.
However, this incident seemed unrelated to Qin Tian.
"Even the Soul Suppressing Hall is involved, could it be... Long Yin?"
When Qin Tian walked past the pile of items, he thought there might be a chance it was Long Yin, so he turned back and directly approached the pile, standing face to face with it.
"Come out, I’ve found you."
Qin Tian said in a low voice.
Clatter!
The items were overturned, and a black-clothed person, gripping a long sword, launched a fierce attack toward Qin Tian!
"I’m not from the Forbidden Army, nor the Soul Suppressing Hall."
Qin Tian quickly blocked the black-clothed person’s sword and said, "Who are you, and why are the Forbidden Army chasing you?"
"Who are you? Since you’re not from the government, why meddle in other people’s business!"
It turned out to be a woman’s voice. Qin Tian grabbed her wrist, and she struggled fiercely.
"Hm?"
However, after hearing the woman’s voice, Qin Tian, with his impressive memory, immediately focused on the veiled woman in front of him.
When she saw Qin Tian staring at her, she gritted her teeth and said, "Don’t expect to get any information from me. I’d rather die!"
After saying that, she raised a dagger with her other hand, intending to commit suicide!
"Leng Yu!"
Qin Tian slapped the dagger out of her hand, blurting out the name.
The veiled black-clothed woman paused.
She was stunned, staring at Qin Tian.
"Is your name Leng Yu?" Qin Tian asked, remembering the voice.
"Who are you?" Leng Yu asked, confused, "How do you... know my name?"
"Hahaha, it’s really you. I’m your classmate from East Han Academy; we were partners back in East State..."
Speaking this far, Qin Tian lowered his voice and said, "Your Dragon Clan undercover partner."
"You’re... Qin..."
"Shhh."
Before Leng Yu could finish her sentence, Qin Tian immediately signaled for silence, saying, "There are quite a few people who want to kill me now."
Qin Tian released his grip, and Leng Yu, looking at Qin Tian, almost burst into tears.
She tore off her veil and jumped into Qin Tian’s arms, "Qin Tian, you... I... I miss you so much..."
Qin Tian was taken aback, "What’s wrong?"
"You’ve left East Capital, and I’m on my own there, carrying out missions, feeling utterly pointless. And now, you’re a big shot in the Wang Chao... sob... we were classmates, why is the gap so wide..."
Leng Yu cried in Qin Tian’s arms, her injuries causing her blood to stain Qin Tian’s clothes.
After a while, once Leng Yu had released her emotions, she looked intently at Qin Tian and said, "You’ve changed so much over the years, completely different..."
Qin Tian rolled his eyes, "Well, you see, I have disguised myself."
"Disguised? Did your face get disfigured? Why disguise yourself?"
"Ugh... I don’t want others to recognize me."
Qin Tian rubbed his forehead, feeling embarrassed, thinking sometimes the intelligence of women can be so low.
"Oh, I forgot, you now have many enemies in the Imperial City..." Watching Qin Tian, Leng Yu smiled again.
Qin Tian looked down at her and said, "You’re injured. Come with me; let’s find a secluded place first."
Qin Tian draped a gray robe over Leng Yu, making her attire less conspicuous, and the two of them quietly headed to a rundown temple near the city walls of the Imperial City. Only after making sure no one was around did they enter.
Using Elixirs and True Qi, Qin Tian quickly managed to stabilize Leng Yu’s injuries.
"This wound of yours seems to be poisoned, but it’s not lethal. It seems they wanted to keep you alive. Now, rest for a couple of days, and you should recover."
After laying out a blanket, Qin Tian and Leng Yu sat on the ground.
Leng Yu took off her black night suit, revealing a white shirt underneath stained with blood. She changed into a green long robe in front of Qin Tian and said, "Thank you. The poison had already taken effect earlier, and I was completely weak. If not for you, I would have been caught in their second search attempt. This time, the mission failed, and we lost several people."
Qin Tian said, "What happened? Weren’t you in East Capital? How did you end up in the Imperial City?"
Leng Yu said, "I performed well in East Capital, so I was transferred to the Imperial City. Moreover, I wanted to achieve great things like you. In the future, if the Dragon Clan needs us, we can provide better covert support."
Leng Yu spoke confidently, looking at Qin Tian, who felt a sense of shame, thinking, Sister, your ambition is great, but I haven’t really thought much about anything related to the Dragon Clan recently...
"Currently, the Empress rules the Dragon Clan, and rebel forces in the country have been suppressed, bringing unprecedented unity. On the contrary, the Tianyuan Dynasty is in turmoil. It’s the perfect time for the Dragon Clan to make a move, which is why we’ve started to frequently gather intelligence... Tonight, we were discovered by their Ministry of War’s spies, resulting in heavy losses."
As Leng Yu spoke, she tore open the shirt over her chest that had been cut by a sword, exposing her white skin, and applied an Elixir on the wound in front of Qin Tian.
