Qin Chuan laughed heartily.
"Now that I think about it, my actions have surprised the Lord of Wentian Tower?"
Zhou Mu shook his head. "I wouldn't say I'm surprised. What I am wondering is, why would you be interested in running a tavern for such a small amount of money?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan's expression became complicated, as if he had realized something unpleasant. His expression froze slightly, and then he slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, his gaze gradually becoming clear.
“This is no small amount of money, and moreover…”
At this point, he gave a deliberately profound smile, then raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Mu, saying, "Even though this is just a small tavern, can't it serve other purposes?"
Qin Chuan knew that Zhou Mu would have noticed the unusual nature of the tavern as early as yesterday, so he might as well just admit it.
"So, those words that angered me earlier were also your doing, and your so-called engagement is nothing but a fabrication," Zhou Mu said.
Actually, this was something he realized belatedly after calming down.
"However, it's not impossible if I don't want to..."
Qin Chuan gave a wicked smile.
Zhou Mu's expression changed slightly, his face turning cold as he said, "You can try."
Feeling the biting chill emanating from the person in front of him, Qin Chuan smiled nonchalantly, then stood up, poured Zhou Mu a glass of wine, and then poured a bowl of wine for Han Fei and Nezha, who was already rubbing his hands excitedly.
Nezha tossed his head, looked at Qin Chuan with pleading eyes, and asked with starry-eyed excitement, "Can I eat two hundred jin today?"
"Forehead……"
Even Qin Chuan, who was well-informed, couldn't help but be a little surprised. He paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, that's fine."
"They can really eat."
He vigorously rubbed Nezha's little head.
In order to get someone to pay the bill, Nezha had to suppress his disgust and try his best to look happy. After all, he hated it when people rubbed his head, as it felt like kneading dough.
But when he saw that Qin Chuan was getting more and more enthusiastic about kneading, his expression changed slightly. He then swallowed, tilted his head back slightly, and exhaled.
call
Fiery red flames suddenly shot out.
Qin Chuan only realized what was happening when he felt the extreme heat. His expression hardened, and he was about to withdraw his hand, but the flames coiled around him like a long snake. Even with his spiritual power protecting him, the scorching flames still swept out.
In a mere instant, it enveloped the entire body.
Fortunately, Nezha didn't really intend to fight; he was just trying to scare him. Once he achieved his goal, he stopped.
The flames gradually dissipated, and Qin Chuan was now completely naked.
His hair was burned away by the flames, and he looked as if he had emerged from a pile of charcoal, completely black.
"You brat, you're asking for death!"
At this moment, a roar suddenly erupted from a void, and immediately, a sharp spiritual energy attack pierced through space and shot towards Nezha.
In the blink of an eye, Nezha had no time to react, and the pressure from the Quasi-Emperor level rendered him unable to move. Thus, he could only watch helplessly as the attack approached.
"Heh! Uncle Li, there's no need to be angry. This young friend was just joking."
With a light laugh from Qin Chuan, he waved his hand toward the void, and Li You, whom he called Uncle Li, stopped. He then appeared and stood beside Qin Chuan, and the pressure from the Quasi-Emperor level immediately enveloped the room.
Clearly, Li You's actions were intended to intimidate everyone and prevent them from making any rash moves.
However, Zhou Mu and the others had no hostility towards Qin Chuan and did not pay any attention to him. Then Zhou Mu seemed to have become a little impatient and said, "Just find some clothes to wear... it's not very elegant."
Only then did Qin Chuan react, and a slight blush appeared on his dark face.
Then she took out a set of clean clothes from her spiritual ring. Immediately afterwards, a servant brought over several basins of clean water. After a simple cleaning, she was somewhat clean. Then she looked at Zhou Mu.
Zhou Mu and the others waited quietly.
Qin Chuan said, "Alright, let's stop fooling around and get down to business. I'd like to ask the Lord of Tianlou to do me a favor."
Zhou Mu was taken aback.
What did he hear?
As the crown prince of the Great Qin Domain, he wielded immense power, with quasi-emperor level experts constantly protecting him. Yet, they still asked him to do things, leading Zhou Mu to believe he had misheard.
Although Qin Chuan was deposed, even as a deposed crown prince, he still wielded considerable power. In a sense, it was merely a formality, since everyone knew that the current emperor only had one child, and Qin Chuan would eventually be reinstated.
Thinking of this, Zhou Mu shook his head, "I must be hallucinating."
“You’re not hallucinating,” Qin Chuan said. “It’s not convenient for me to get involved in this matter, and I can’t use any power related to the Great Qin Domain, so you are undoubtedly the most suitable person.”
"What is it?" Zhou Mu did not answer.
The saying goes, "A fox paying New Year's greetings to a chicken is a sign of ill intentions."
Even Qin Chuan couldn't conveniently show his face. What could a nobody like him, from the small Wentian Tower, possibly do?
Qin Chuan smiled, seemingly having already guessed Zhou Mu would say that, and was not surprised. He said, "After it's done, I will help Ye Mujiu escape and meet you."
"Escaped?"
Zhou Mu keenly sensed something was amiss.
Qin Chuan nodded, then slowly strolled around, looking relaxed and carefree, as if he was certain that Zhou Mu would help him. At this moment, a smile appeared on his face.
After whetting Zhou Mu's appetite for a moment, Qin Chuan noticed Zhou Mu's increasingly anxious expression and slowly said, "You don't know, do you? Just before you came, Ye Mujiu was caught up in a battle and trapped by an array. Moreover, your trip can help me obtain what I want, and you can also rescue your Xiao Jiu."
"Then why don't I just go and save Xiao Jiu?" Zhou Mu sneered.
Qin Chuan chuckled and said, "Because you don't know the location, and secondly, without the magic weapon I gave you, you can only watch helplessly as your Little Nine disappears into thin air."
After saying that, without waiting for Zhou Mu's response, he took out a jade pendant from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Mu. The jade pendant was very ordinary, except that it emitted a faint black light on its surface.
"If we place this jade pendant on the mechanism, we can save Xiao Jiu."
Zhou Mu took it blankly and asked, "What do you want?"
"It's just a formation, the Seven Dragons Purgatory Formation," Qin Chuan said calmly. Then, seeing Zhou Mu's puzzled expression, he continued, "A few years ago, I was playing around and accidentally used this formation. It was originally meant to save my life, but now that I need it, I have to take it back."
"Then why not send your own people?"
Zhou Mu was puzzled.
