To get Hao Gu back, two conditions

The battle between the Qin and Zhang families caused a great stir in Nanling.

On the day when the Zhang family came to attack, they heard the conversation between the Zhang and Qin family ancestors. It seemed that both sides had their reasons. Anyway, they didn't understand much. They only knew that in the end, the Qin family won, and the Zhang family ancestor didn't know whether he was dead or alive. It was really 6 wow - this is what the people of Nanling think.

The feelings of the big and small families in Nanling are much more complicated.

The Qin family rose so quickly! Of course, the Qin family is an aristocratic family, and they need to look up to it. Now they are surprised because, in their eyes, the most powerful and deep-rooted ones are still the Zhang and Han families. As a result, the Qin ancestor actually abolished the Zhang ancestor? !

If the ancestor of a noble family is useless, what will happen to this noble family? Can the Zhang family still maintain its status as a noble family? No, the Zhang family is looking for a son-in-law... The eldest elder of the Zhang family is also building a foundation, and the status of the Zhang family should not drop, but the sky above has changed after all.

As for the Han family, their thoughts are very rough:

Zhang Xiao, that old useless man, his son died, and he himself is useless. But... it's good to be useless! In any case, the Han family has lost a strong opponent - of course, the Qin family has also risen, filling the position vacated by the Zhang family in time, and is more difficult and mysterious than the Zhang family, which is a bit difficult to deal with.

At the moment, we still have to keep a close eye on the Zhang and Qin families. It is said that the Qin family has caught the son-in-law of the Zhang family, and it is not known whether they will kill him or not. If they do, it will be a big deal. However, if the Zhang family collapses completely this time, the Han family will be able to tear off a large piece of meat from it, so it is not a loss. Now it depends on what the Qin family does.

Under the watchful eyes of thousands of people, the Zhang family trembled and asked the Qin family for the person. They had to ask for him. He was the only foundation of the family, and now they depended on him to support the family.

This time, their tone was much more tactful: Hey, isn't it a bit unreasonable for you, the Qin family, to detain our great elder for no reason? Well, it was wrong for us to attack you, the Qin family, before, but we also paid the price, and the ancestor has become so bad! At worst, we can pay more compensation, but no matter what, don’t you have to return the elder to us first? If you don’t, we can’t explain it to the Xianpin Bureau!

Well, the arrogant Zhang family also began to show weakness and used the Xianpin Bureau to put pressure on others.

The Zhang family members came several times, and the Qin family said lightly: The person can be returned, but there are conditions.

To be honest, the Zhang family was relieved after hearing this. Speaking of conditions, it is actually asking for money, or in other words, ceding land and paying compensation. This is normal. If you don’t want it, we will be worried. Now you are ready to be slaughtered, just name your price.

The Qin family did make an offer, saying that our Qin family has always been a good family with a conscience, unlike your Zhang family, who still bully the weak. It is very simple to bring back your great elder. Only two conditions are required.

First, the Qin family wants all the development rights to the Fu Secret Realm.

Second, South Street West Market, hey, this time we don’t want any pretentious settlement rights, just give us the entire West Market.

These two conditions are the main ones. Other natural treasures, spiritual stones and spiritual gold are all small matters. You can give them as you see fit.

Looking at this arrogant tone, the two Zhang family members who came to the Qin family to negotiate were so angry that they fell backwards.

This is already the third time they have come.

The first time they came, the Qin family simply closed the door and refused to see them. The door was opened the second time, but they thought the Zhang family was too insignificant and didn't want to talk. So, the third time, the Zhang clan leader and their second elder came in person - as for why only the second elder, it was because their first elder was invited by the Qin family to "be a guest".

These two were the two most powerful people left in the Zhang clan, so the Qin family opened the door.

They really went in with great fanfare, not afraid of being detained by the Qin family. Because if the Qin family really did so, they would have no grace in Nanling. In this way, the gain would be lost.

At this time, after hearing the Qin family's conditions, the second elder of the Zhang family hurriedly said: "No, if so, wouldn't the entire Return Secret Realm be occupied by the Qin family!"

This is not a lion's big mouth, this is not even a mouthful of soup for others to drink.

Zhang Hong, the head of the Zhang family, also showed a disapproving expression. He bargained and said, "Can you be more flexible and let the Zhang family give up half of the ownership of the secret realm?"

Half is already a very exaggerated number. If anyone dared to ask the Zhang family for half of the development rights of the secret realm before, the Zhang family would have knocked that person's head off on the spot.

Qin Deming sat opposite them, without blinking his eyelids, and even leisurely drank a sip of tea, and then said calmly: "These two conditions are already the bottom line of the Qin family. If the Zhang family refuses, then leave." If you leave, then the eldest elder of your Zhang family will naturally not come back.

This was said without any reservation.

Zhang Hong and the second elder of the Zhang family looked at each other, and never realized so clearly that the status of the Qin and Zhang families had been completely reversed. The Qin family really became tough.

But this matter was of great importance and it was not something that could be decided by just the two of them, so they said, "We still need to go back to the clan to discuss this matter."

Qin Deming stood up and said, "It's up to you. But don't discuss it for too long. If it takes too long, we can't guarantee the safety of the great elder of the noble clan in our clan."

These threatening words made the face of the second elder of the Zhang family darken. He bowed slightly and said, "May I ask if we can meet the great elder? If we are not sure about the safety of the great elder, it will be difficult for us to explain when we go back to the clan."

They also suffered a loss in the previous incident with Zhang Li. Not only did they cede land and pay compensation, but Zhang Li was also gone. This time, no matter what, before agreeing to the conditions, they had to confirm the safety of the great elder's life carefully.

By the way, confirmation alone is not enough. When negotiating with the Qin family, we have to add one more clause: if the elder suddenly dies within seven days after returning, then the responsibility will also be attributed to the Qin family.

Qin Deming also understood their mentality. Zhang Li's matter was the work of his beloved daughter. Looking at the looks of the two old men in the Zhang family, are they psychologically traumatized?

Qin Deming was happy in his heart, but his face did not show it. He hummed majestically and waved his hand to the servants, "Bring up the elder of the Zhang family." After

waiting for a while, the elder of the Zhang family, Hao Gu, slowly walked in from the hall. He was led by the servants. His clothes were neat and clean, without any blood stains, and his face was very calm. Just looking at his appearance, he did not look like a prisoner.

Hao Gou was not surprised to see the Zhang family coming. He looked past Zhang Hong, the head of the Zhang family, and looked directly at the second elder, saying, "I'm fine, you can rest assured."

Zhang Hong, who was ignored, looked down, pursed his lips, and did not speak.

However, the second elder of the Zhang family looked Hao Gou up and down, and then used his spiritual energy to check his body briefly, and was slightly relieved, "Seeing that you are fine, we Hui people have also explained something."

Qin Deming knocked his teacup on the table and snorted, "We Qin family always treat people with courtesy. The great elder of the noble family is treated as a guest of honor in our family."

Hao Gou lowered his lips slightly and did not respond. The second elder of the Zhang family twitched his mouth. Apart from other things, he could sense that the spiritual consciousness and spiritual energy of their great elder were still sealed. Even so, he was treated as a guest of honor. It was ridiculous? The Qin family members were getting thicker and thicker!

Since they had nothing to do, there was nothing to say. The two Zhang family members left in a hurry, and the great elder Hao Gou naturally returned to his temporary residence - the Qin family dungeon.

After everyone left, Qin Ruqing walked out of a small door at the back of the reception room.

This seemingly ordinary reception room has a lot of secrets. Behind the small door is another inner room equipped with spiritual tools. From the inner room, one can clearly hear and see everything that happens in the outer room.

Qin Ruqing approached her father and asked curiously, "Dad, why do I feel that Hao Gou and the Zhang clan leader don't have a harmonious relationship? And why haven't I heard of this clan leader before?"

Qin Deming changed his previous arrogant attitude towards the two Zhang family members and said with a smile, "My son, you don't know that the Zhang family is the ancestor Zhang Xiao who holds all the power. The clan leader is just a figurehead. However, Zhang Hong's status in the Zhang family is not bad, and it is even very high. He is Zhang Xiao's younger brother. Otherwise, if his cultivation is not outstanding, he would not be able to become the clan leader."

"As for the relationship between him and Hao Gou... Once Zhang Xiao is deposed, the next person in charge of the Zhang family should be Hao Gou, who has foundation-building skills. However, Zhang Hong is the clan leader. Previously, when their ancestors were around, although the two had conflicts, they could tolerate it. Now the last layer of peace is a fig leaf. If you tear it apart, you can't pretend anymore. Let's see, they still have a fight when they return to the clan. "

As he said this, Qin Deming glanced at his daughter and said, "I see that you and the ancestors are putting their treasure on Hao Gou. If you ask me, he is recruiting a son-in-law with a special status. There are many people in the Zhang family who are dissatisfied with him. In the power struggle with Zhang Hong, who knows who will win! "

Qin Ruqing smiled and didn't care: "Zhang Xiao is dead. If Hao Gou can't even deal with the Zhang family, then it's not worth our attention. It's not too late to change guns in the battlefield." He

also said that the Zhang family really didn't dare to delay. They were anxious to bring the elder back to stabilize the internal turmoil in the clan. The next day, news came that they agreed to the Qin family's conditions (they really had to agree, and there was no capital for negotiation).

The Qin family didn't do anything this time (the operation had been done before), and released the person happily. Qin Ruqing thought of the pill she had fed before, and went to the cell to take the person out in person.

It was unknown whether he accepted his fate or really reconciled himself, but Hao Gou looked much calmer than the previous two days. When he saw Qin Ruqing, he could even smile slightly to show his respect.

He was still pretending. Qin Ruqing was better at pretending than him, and immediately said sweetly: "I know that the elder is returning home, so Ruqing came to see you off."

Ruqing... Hao Gou paused as he stepped over the threshold and almost stumbled. Qin Ruqing wanted to help him, but he avoided him.

"Young lady, you are trying to embarrass me!"

Qin Ruqing smiled and stopped playing tricks, but talked about business, "Ruqing came here, first, to see the elder off, and second, to ask the elder for someone."

Ask for someone? This confused Hao Gou, and he said: "Who does the young lady want?" Whoever did not ask the Qin family for, but asked him for it.

Qin Ruqing smiled and said, "I want the guest alchemist that the Zhang family invited some time ago."

Hao Gou's pupils shrank. It was him. Many complicated thoughts could not help but overflow in his mind. Why did this precious bump of the Qin family think of asking for the black-robed alchemist... Could it be...

Qin Ruqing knew what Hao Gou was thinking as soon as he saw his expression, and curled his lips and said, "Don't think too much. The Qin family has no connection with him. I just heard that he had improved the Qi-restoring Pill before, and I was curious about him, so I asked you for this person."

To be honest, Hao Gou didn't believe this. The black-hearted little girl couldn't be judged by her appearance. She was ruthless and cruel inside. She couldn't lie at this level without

saying anything? But, whether she was lying or not, the ending of the Zhang family and his ending were already determined. What's the point of pursuing these details?

Besides, the black robe had a mysterious origin and was extremely unruly, so it was okay to give it to the Qin family.

So he said, "Since the young lady asked, how can I refuse? I agree to this."

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Qin Ruqing chuckled, rolled his eyes, and deliberately asked, "Don't you need to inform the clan, the elder? After all, he is a guest elder in your clan. Can you give it to him just like that?"

Hao Gou glanced at Qin Ruqing and said unhappily, "Young lady, don't worry. I think I still have this face."

This black-hearted little girl is here to test him. Knowing that he will have a tough battle to fight when he returns to the clan, the group of people in the clan will definitely not accept his son-in-law. The Qin family kept him because they hoped that he could control the Zhang family and then be used by the Qin family. If he failed in the struggle for power, then this cruel little girl would definitely not keep him.

After thinking for a while, Hao Gou made a decision. "Since the young lady is so 'kind', Hao Gou should also return some sincerity and tell her an important news."

He leaned forward and tried to put his ear to her. The guards beside Qin Ruqing immediately changed their expressions and stopped him.

Qin Ruqing waved them away, but did not completely relax his vigilance. Instead, he said, "Grand Elder, just use your spiritual energy to transmit sound."

The spiritual energy can be used to transmit sound when one has established the foundation.

Hao Gou was helpless. This little girl was really cautious. He really didn't want to do anything. But he still transmitted the sound as he was told. After he finished speaking, he looked at Qin Ruqing's reaction leisurely.

Qin Ruqing was really shocked. She pursed her lips and looked serious. "Are you framing me, Great Elder?"

Hao Gu smiled and said, "Whether you believe it or not is up to you, young lady."

Then he took the lead and walked out of the cell.

Qin Ruqing bared her teeth at him from behind. This old man is still being mysterious. If he dares to lie to her, he will not be given the antidote next month. Let's see how rampant he might be!

However, this news is indeed very important. If it can be confirmed, it will be a great thing for the Qin family. Qin Ruqing did not dare to delay and hurried to the ancestor's Xianyingju.

The ancestor also suffered a lot of losses after the battle that day. Although he was not in seclusion, he also adjusted his breathing for many days. Today he is a little better. Seeing this girl riding on a sword to the island in the middle of the lake, he smiled and waved at her.

"Why are you so anxious? Sit down and drink some spiritual milk tea."

Qin Ruqing sat opposite the ancestor and really gulped down a whole pot of tea. After drinking this pot, spiritual energy overflowed. Qin Ruqing felt that her head began to smoke, and she couldn't help but circulate spiritual energy to digest it. After a lot of shaking, she finally calmed down.

The ancestor looked at her with a smile, shook his head helplessly, and chewed a peony like a cow, but it was so. But his eyes were still doting and indulgent.

After calming down, Qin Ruqing calmed down her mind, thinking that she was not as stable as the ancestor, so she used a light tone to throw out a big thunder.

"Ancestor, I seem to know the news about the Xuanxin Liquid!"

The ancestor was sure, looking at her incredulously: "What did you say?"

Qin Ruqing said "calmly": "I said I know the whereabouts of the Xuanxin Liquid."

Xuanxin Liquid, a natural treasure that can directly increase the chance of forming a pill by 20%. It is something that the aristocratic families must fight for!

The ancestor actually stood up and took a few quick steps. He wanted to ask something, but seeing that the child was still blinking leisurely, he didn't know how to start for a while.

Taking a deep breath, the ancestor asked: "But is it the revelation given by the memory or dream in your brain?"

Qin Ruqing was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "T Ancestor, this time it is not, it was just what Hao Gou told me before he left. I went to the prison cell before and stuffed some good things into the mouth of the Zhang family elder. He was grateful to me and gave me this news."

As soon as these words came out, the corner of the ancestor's mouth twitched.

"Stuffed some good things", as for what good things they were, he didn't think about it at all. Just like this, Qing girl dared to say that others were "grateful to me", are you sure that others are grateful, not revenge?

"How can I believe what Hao Gou said?" The ancestor frowned.

"Of course I can't believe it all. Look, Qingqing came to ask the ancestor immediately." Qin Ruqing bared her small white teeth and smiled harmlessly.

The old ancestor put his hands behind his back and shook his head, his face still very solemn, obviously attaching great importance to this news, "You tell me."

Qin Ruqing also sat up straight and said seriously, "What Hao Gou said to me is that the mysterious liquid appeared in the small floating space in Xiling."

Xiling, small floating space.

The old ancestor frowned, "It's in Xiling?"

The entire South Region is divided vertically by a fault mountain, dividing it into the east and the west. To the east of the fault mountain, there is a Luoxia Ridge, which divides the region horizontally into two. This largest mountain and ridge in the South Region is in the shape of a lying "丁", dividing the entire South Region into three blocks, the South Ridge, the North Ridge, and the largest West Ridge.

With Broken Vein Mountain as the boundary, the landform of Xiling is completely different from that of the North and South Ridges. It is mostly desert Gobi and the population is very sparse.

Now, it is said that something like Xuanxin Liquid is actually in such a remote Xiling. How can the ancestor not be surprised?

"Ancestor, what is Xiaofukong?" Qin Ruqing asked with her chin in her hand. She is really calm now, and the ancestor is not calm.

The ancestor turned his head to look at her, "Xiaofukong is a secret place in Xiling. It appears once every ten years and is controlled by the Xiling Xianpin Bureau."

A secret place that appears once every ten years?

"It sounds a little different from our reciprocating secret realm."

The ancestor nodded affirmatively: "Secret realms in different places are different. Some secret realms have stable structures, and there are many signs before they appear, just like the reciprocating secret realm in Nanling. Therefore, the three major families in Nanling can get the news and control it in advance. And the small floating space in Xiling is very secretive and not easy to appear in the world. It needs manpower to open it regularly." "

Then it's more worry-free for us to go back and forth in the secret realm." Qin Ruqing sighed.

The ancestor was amused, and her originally impetuous heart gradually calmed down. She sat back and drank a cup of spiritual milk tea like Qin Ruqing - seeing Qingqing was so anxious just now, and then became so calm, it seems that calming down is useful.

Qin Ruqing talked about the crux of the matter again, "If this news is true, ancestor, shall we take the Xuanxin Liquid?"

The ancestor closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them again, put down the white porcelain cup with a loud voice, and said in a deep voice: "If the news is true, the Qin family must get this Xuanxin Liquid at any price."

Qin Ruqing felt the ancestor's determination to win in her calm voice, and couldn't help but comfort her: "We can't be anxious about this matter, we still need to confirm the truth. After all, as the ancestor said, Hao Gou might be deliberately taking revenge on me. After all, hehe, I fed him some good things..."

The ancestor glanced at her and didn't know what to say.

Qin Ruqing smiled embarrassedly and changed the subject, "By the way, I also asked Hao Gou for another person."

Asked for a person? The ancestor thought for a moment and understood, "It's the person who wrote the note lurking in the Zhang family."

"Well, I guess it's the guest alchemist invited by the Zhang family. It's just right to ask him to come this time. Then, we can find out whether he is a human or a ghost, good or bad!"

The ancestor didn't care much about such a person, and just said, "Since you are interested, it's okay to ask him to come."

It's just a guest alchemist. It doesn't matter if he comes to find out the truth or to take him as a servant. To a certain extent, the ancestor really indulged Qin Ruqing, and he was not afraid of her getting used to it.

Qin Ruqing also understood the ancestor's kindness to her, and smiled and said no more.

That Hao Gu was indeed very efficient. After only one day, he sent the person Qin Ruqing wanted.

Such a person is not very important in itself. Logically, it only needs to be reported to an elder of the Qin family, or to Qin Ruqing. She was the one who brought up this matter. Her current status is higher than that of an elder, so there is no problem in reporting it to her.

The attendant actually brought this person to Qin Ruqing. As a result, the first sentence this dark-skinned alchemist said when he saw Qin Ruqing was: "I want to see the ancestor of the noble family."

Qin Ruqing was stunned.

See our ancestor? Who are you, what is your status, what qualifications do you have to see our ancestor? Can you see the ancestor just because you want to?

To be honest, this is the first time Qin Ruqing has seen someone more outrageous than her (you also know that you are outrageous), and she couldn't help but look at this person in surprise.

He was wearing a dark robe that covered him from head to toe, not even a hair was exposed. He seemed to be very tall. He wanted to send out his spiritual consciousness to find out, but it was bounced back. It can be seen that this black robe also has some features. It should be a magic weapon that can isolate breath and spiritual consciousness.

Something.

Qin Ruqing was happy. He sat down slowly, propped up his head and looked at this person sideways, and said: "Do you want to see our ancestor?"

"Yes." The black robe was very concise.

Qin Ruqing played with his nails while saying: "Our ancestor does not see people without background. If you want to invite our ancestor, it's okay. First take off this black skin, then introduce your family, maybe you can give it a try."

The black robe was silent for a while, as if he was also surprised by Qin Ruqing's calm attitude.

"Who are you?" The black robe did not answer, but asked the question himself.

Asking who I am? Qin Ruqing raised her bright eyes and glanced at him, then smiled and said, "I am Qin Ruqing."

This answer is very clever. He answered, but it seems like he didn't answer.

The man in black robe: "... I'm asking who you are in the Qin family and what your identity is."

Qin Ruqing said cheerfully: "You are hiding yourself, and you still ask who I am. Didn't I tell you that I am Qin Ruqing, a member of the Qin family."

For a moment, the man in black robe was as still as a wooden stake. Even if you couldn't see his face clearly, you could feel his silence. After a while, he spoke: "I remember that according to the rules, I should be taken to see an elder, and then dealt with and arranged... Why is it you who is seeing me?"

Oh, this person is quite knowledgeable, and he also knows that according to the rules, he should be taken to see the elder.

Qin Ruqing raised an eyebrow: "You ask me, how do I know, they just brought you to see me? Why, are you a distinguished guest that you need to be personally received by the elders of our Qin family?"

The black robe was silent for a while, and after a while, three straightforward voices came out from under the robe:

"Then I'll leave?"

Qin Ruqing: "?"

To be honest, Qin Ruqing was really surprised at that moment. Are you joking or are you really confused? If it's the former... then it's fun.

Qin Ruqing stood up, walked a few steps to the black robe, tilted her head and raised her face, looking into the mask under the robe.

The mask had no expression, but Qin Ruqing could feel that the face underneath was looking at her inexplicably, as if a question mark couldn't help but pop up on his forehead.

"Puff~" Qin Ruqing laughed. Overjoyed.

Just now she almost thought that the person in front of her was a compatriot from that world. After all, "Then I'll leave" is a very famous internet meme. But after staring at him for a while, the confused aura emanating from this person made Qin Ruqing certain that he was asking whether she wanted to leave.

- Since you don't let me see your ancestor, then I'll leave.

His thinking is clear, logical, and very profound.

Looking at Qin Ruqing's strange movements, staring at his mask and laughing, the man in black robe became even more confused. If the mask could make expressions, he would probably write a big "speechless" on the spot.

Qin Ruqing laughed for a while, and finally became serious and took out two pieces of paper. One of the notes had "Holy Blood Secret Water" and "Gold" written on it, while the other had "Grand Elder of the Zhang Family" written on it

. Both notes were written with rough and straight strokes, and were obviously written by the same person.

Needless to say, the first note had "Grand Elder of the Zhang Family" written on it, and if it weren't for this note reminding Qin Ruqing, he wouldn't have been able to focus on Hao Gou. After an investigation, it was discovered that Hao Gou was in an awkward situation in the Zhang family. Qin Ruqing felt that there was room for manipulation on this person, so he told the ancestor to spare Hao Gou's life. After

settling the matter with the Zhang family, Qin Ruqing couldn't help but feel a strong curiosity about the person who wrote the note, so he asked for the person.

"You handed these two notes over, right?" Qin Ruqing asked.

The black robe was silent for a moment, then asked, "Why is it in your hand?"

Qin Ruqing slowly put the note away, "Don't worry about it, you just need to tell me whether the note was written by you."

After waiting for almost two breaths, the rough voice under the black robe said one word: "Yes."

Qin Ruqing nodded, as if satisfied with his cooperation, looked up at him, and said seriously: "You want to see our ancestor, you can, but, As I said just now, we have to strip this black-skinned man first and tell him our family name. "

Seeing that the man in black robe wanted to say something, Qin Ruqing raised his hand to interrupt him and added, "I'll tell you this. It's almost impossible for you to see our ancestor for no reason. No one in the Qin family will agree to such an impolite condition. They might even kick you out directly. Your only hope -" Qin Ruqing pointed at himself, "is me."

"Only I can bring you to the ancestor without any hindrance. So, if you want to see my ancestor, you have to get past me first."

"Of course, if you don't want to, our Qin family is not the kind of family that forces you. Just go out the door, turn right, and go back to be your guest elder."

"Do you understand?"

Qin Ruqing almost made it clear: Since you handed the note in front and wanted to get in touch with the Qin family, don't be so mysterious and hide your head and tail now. The Qin family won't buy it. If you still want to achieve your goal, do as I say. If you don't want to, go back where you came from.

The man in black robe was silent for a long time, and suddenly he stretched out his hand and slowly put it on the edge of the robe. The contrast between white and black was very clear. After a while, he seemed to have finally made up his mind, and he opened his robe with a swipe.

Qin Ruqing raised his eyebrows after seeing the face under the robe. The attendant standing beside Qin Ruqing was stunned.

He could never imagine that such a man with a rough voice hiding under the dark robe was actually a very handsome young man. He

looked to be about the same age as the eldest young master, but a little taller than the eldest young master. His skin was very white, even a little sickly, and it was not known whether it was because he had been hiding under the robe for years without seeing the sun. His hair was neatly tied up with a jade crown, without a trace of disorder. His lips were pursed, and his eyelashes were slightly blinked, as if he was not used to the sudden light. He really had a very good face, not like a wandering alchemist with a strange temper, but rather like a well-educated child from a noble family.

Compared to the attendant's surprise, Qin Ruqing was very calm, but her eyes were a little subtle. She hugged her chest, looked the man up and down very naturally, and then nodded.

"Okay, the black skin has been peeled off, the first step is completed. Now it's time to introduce yourself."

The black-robed, no, the young man's Adam's apple moved, as if he was about to speak, but Qin Ruqing raised her eyebrows and made a gesture to stop him, "By the way, you don't have to use your voice-changing technique, just make whatever sound it should make."

The young man looked at her, Qin Ruqing looked calm, raised her chin, and motioned him to continue.

The young man looked at her like this for two breaths, and finally spoke: "My surname is Tang, and my name is Zifeng."

Tang Zifeng. The name is not bad, it's the surname. Qin Ruqing raised an eyebrow and said, "Is it the Tang I was thinking of? The Xiling Tang family?"

As a child of a noble family who had received strict teachings, Qin Ruqing had memorized the family atlas around the southern region. Although he could not tell them in detail one by one, he still knew the key and powerful families.

The Xiling Tang family is a giant in Xiling and a famous silver family.

This person is actually a child of the Tang family?

The young man looked at her for another two seconds, not knowing whether he was thinking, hesitating, or just in a daze. His lips moved and he uttered two words clearly: "That's right."

Qin Ruqing was about to ask, as a member of the Tang family, why don't you enjoy your life in Xiling instead of running to Nanling to be an unpopular alchemist? He slowly turned his head and added a sentence.

"However, although my last name is Tang, I am no longer a member of the Tang family."

Qin Ruqing raised his eyebrows subtly.

That is to say, there is a story!
