Li Qianren stared at Gu Qingfeng for a long time before he slowly said, "Body training talent, soul talent, fire control talent, I found that you are good at everything except training."
"Um... Lord Li, if you say that, it will easily destroy your cold and cruel image in my mind."
Li Qianren looked at Gu Qingfeng deeply and said, "Alright, you can go down now."
"Well, I'll take my leave. By the way, Master Li, my reward..."
"Someone will deliver it to you." After Li Qianren finished speaking, he turned around and returned to his seat, then picked up an ancient book from the table and began to study it carefully.
Seeing this, Gu Qingfeng didn't say anything more. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly remembered something else.
"Master Li, I have something else to ask."
"speak."
"Can you give me the Sophora Tree Demon on the first floor of the Demon Suppression Prison?"
"Okay." Li Qianren looked at the book and agreed without raising his head. He seemed not curious at all about what Gu Qingfeng wanted the locust tree demon to do.
Gu Qingfeng was secretly amazed and swallowed all the words he had prepared. He had no idea what Li Qianren was thinking about all day long. He always seemed mysterious, but he was quite easy to talk to.
"Thank you very much, sir. I will take my leave."
Gu Qingfeng turned around and left the hall. At this point, Li Qianren was the only one left in the hall. For a moment, there was silence except for the rustling sound of flipping pages.
After Gu Qingfeng walked away, a stranger's voice suddenly sounded from the shadow in the corner of the hall, breaking the silence.
"He found me."
"Yeah." Li Qianren flipped through the book and agreed softly.
"His soul is very strong, it's no surprise that he found you."
"He didn't discover me by soul power. If he used soul power to scan the entire hall, he would definitely sense it, but he didn't."
"Oh?" Li Qianren frowned slightly: "Then how did he find you?"
"I don't know. When I was spying on him from the shadows, his expression became a little unnatural. Although he didn't look at me, I knew he had noticed me."
"It seems that he still has a lot of secrets."
"I'm afraid it's more than just a secret. It's even possible that he has a new soul in his body. I've never heard of someone with such a strong soul talent. Rather than calling it a talent, I think it's more like he has been possessed by a strong person."
"As long as it's not a demon, it's fine." Li Qianren said calmly.
"When his soul power competed with yours, there was indeed no evil aura. The one who possessed him should be a human master."
"Yeah." Li Qianren seemed to be fascinated by reading and spoke less and less.
"He has so many secrets, don't you worry?"
"If he is really possessed by the Grandmaster, then letting him go will give him a higher chance of success. Other things are not important. I just want the immortality pill."
"That's why you defended him, helped him get rid of suspicion, and then lured him to accept this mission step by step. In fact, the first time you saw him, you already sensed the powerful soul in him. With such a low realm and such a powerful soul, he is the most suitable candidate."
"That's right, but I didn't expect that he actually has such a strong talent for controlling fire. This way, I have a better chance of success."
The voice in the shadows was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked faintly: "Is it worth it?"
Li Qianren did not answer.
The voice in the shadows continued, "Do you know that if you do this, you will be at odds with the entire world? Is it really worth it? You have become a Grandmaster at such a young age, and you still have a bright future. In the future, you will have the opportunity to become a Grandmaster, but why are you..."
"Shut up!"
Li Qianren, who had been calm all along, suddenly became furious. He slammed the ancient book in his hand onto the table with a loud bang.
He stood up and glared at the shadows, angrily saying, "Do you really think I dare not kill you?"
"Ah." A faint sigh came from the shadows, and then silence returned, as if the sound had never appeared.
Li Qianren no longer had the heart to read. He pushed open the door with a cold expression, walked out of the hall, and disappeared.
At this moment, a breeze happened to blow in from the door, blowing the pages of the book on the table constantly turning, one page, two pages, three pages...
Until the cover is closed.
And on the cover were written two big words: [Alchemy Classic].
......
After Gu Qingfeng left the hall, he returned to his residence. Along the way, he kept thinking about the conversation between the two. Somehow, he always felt that something was strange, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
And the person hiding in the shadows in the corner of the hall is also a master of innateness!
Gu Qingfeng has a spiritual sense and can sense people spying in the dark, so when he entered the hall, he immediately sensed the man's presence.
However, he did not say anything. As the head of the Demon Suppression Bureau in Wutong County, Li Qianren was in charge of both the visible and hidden departments. It was normal for him to have someone secretly protecting him. It must be someone from the hidden department.
Gu Qingfeng sat in his bed, thinking hard for a long time, but couldn't figure it out. Everything seemed normal, but why did I feel something was wrong?
Suddenly, an idea struck him!
It’s spiritual perception!
It’s a reminder brought by spiritual perception!
My spiritual sense is reminding me that there is something wrong here. Spiritual sense is similar to sixth sense. In addition to being able to sense others spying on me, it can also foresee that something may happen.
So, there is indeed something wrong with Li Qianren?
With this idea in mind, Gu Qingfeng analyzed carefully and finally knew what was wrong.
Li Qianren was so good to him.
It was clearly their first meeting, and although he had made great contributions, it was indeed too unbelievable that he could gather the fourth level of Qi and kill seven demon generals. A normal person's first reaction would definitely be disbelief, but when everyone questioned it, Li Qianren was able to maintain a neutral position and analyze the reasons why he was able to defeat the Mirror Monster.
It felt like he knew he could defeat the mirror monster and could reverse the process based on the result.
When someone suggested a physical examination, Li Qianren did not indicate whether he agreed or not. Instead, he started to explain himself and changed the subject.
In fact, from the perspective of the Demon Suppression Bureau, the best method is definitely a physical examination. No matter how good the words are, it is not as good as seeing it with your own eyes. Wouldn't it be clear if you just check it out? Why bother analyzing it?
But Li Qianren did not allow investigation and explained why he was able to defeat the mirror monster, as if he was deliberately protecting himself.
However, after the explanation was clear, no Earth-level demon slayer had any doubts at this time. However, Li Qianren still raised questions, asking why it was possible to resist the invasion of the mirror image.
Then engage in a soul battle to reveal your soul talent and thus draw out the elixir of life.
On the surface, it seems that the leader values talent, but in fact he is guiding himself to the Yulong Secret Realm.
The more Gu Qingfeng thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. He felt that every word Li Qianren said seemed to be guiding the conversation and making things develop in the direction he wanted.
