Once only the two of them were left in the room, Yuan You didn't dwell on the matter of the dragon saliva, but instead thought of her previous resentment.
As a woman, Yuan You felt some sympathy for Na Yiluoli.
“This matter is not as simple as you think. He will only say what he insists on. What’s the point of you asking any more questions?” Shen Qian shook his head.
"What do you mean?" Yuan You was a little confused.
"No investigation, no right to speak."
Shen Qian said something leisurely and placed the bracelet, which was still stuck on the search interface, on the coffee table.
"While waiting for Xiao Dalong to arrive, I searched online for all the news related to Longyuan Group over the years, and also checked some other information through a special channel. There are still many clues about this matter."
Shen Qian's eyes flickered.
"For example?" Yuan You asked curiously, not expecting that Shen Qian had done his homework in advance.
"Twenty-four years ago was not only the time when Nailoli passed through the 'door,' nor just the time when Xiao Yuan was cursed, but also the time when the Longyuan Group rose to prominence..."
"What? What?" Yuan You keenly sensed that something was wrong.
"Not only that, if you look into the history of Longyuan Group, you will be surprised to find that they started by selling something called 'lucky charms,' which retailed for 100,000 each at the time."
"Lucky charms?" Yuan You was taken aback. "People actually believe in these temple incense-burning things?"
“What if it actually works?” Chen Qian asked rhetorically.
"What... wait, witchcraft?" Yuan You was, after all, very intelligent. Connecting this with the timeline Shen Qian had mentioned, she realized something.
“It seems you’ve figured it out… Do you remember the first thing Nayi Luoli said when she talked about Xiao Yuan?” Shen Qian sighed.
“I gave him everything, I betrayed my faith, my race… Hiss, Nailoli taught Xiao Yuan witchcraft?” Yuan You exclaimed in shock.
"Very likely."
Shen Qian nodded. "In the first ten years of its establishment, Longyuan Group sold treasures related to feng shui and metaphysics. It was only later that it switched to technology and biology."
"You mean, Xiao Yuan and Nayi Luoli's love was a conspiracy from the very beginning, just to obtain those witchcrafts? This, this..."
Yuan You found it hard to accept this truth, which seemed to be the whole truth.
If that's the case, then Nayi Luoli is too pitiful. No wonder, no wonder she would plant such a vicious curse at the cost of never being able to escape for eternity.
"This is too despicable. Even if Nailoli is a different race, she shouldn't use such methods..." Yuan You said angrily.
"Shh, watch your mouth." Shen Qian covered her lips.
"Huh?" Yuan You blinked, puzzled.
“Because… if I’m not mistaken, there’s probably a king or noble behind this,” Shen Qian said softly.
"Kings and nobles?"
Yuan You's eyes widened.
"I wasn't sure before, but just now, when Xiao Dalong said that we still needed to ask the King to help refine the antidote, I became a little more confident."
He exhaled a breath of stale air before sinking.
"What kind of person is Wang Hou? Why would he help an ordinary merchant? Wang Hou is not short of money. And if that incident back then was really a setup, then only Wang Hou would have the ability to be a player in this game..."
Yuan You was even more confused. At this moment, she felt that her brain was not working properly and she could not understand Shen Qian's words for a while.
"Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it. Anyway, it doesn't have much to do with us."
Shen Qian took the initiative to end the conversation that was only halfway through.
He himself still had some unresolved questions, but he worried that if there were really powerful figures pulling the strings behind the scenes, getting too involved would only bring trouble upon himself.
Humans... Other races...
Hopefully, this really is just a simple racial conflict.
And I am just a passerby in this event, the future of which is uncertain.
Shen Qian shook his head, stopping those distracting thoughts, but when he turned his head, he was stunned, because Yuan You was looking at him with her chin resting on her hand, her eyes bright and her face showing a look of infatuation.
"Kiss me," Yuan You whispered.
"Huh?" Shen Qian was confused. What kind of request was this?
"This is the first time I've felt that someone my age can outsmart me! Shen Qian, do you know how handsome you are right now?" Yuan You said in a whimsical tone.
Shen Qian opened his mouth and reflected on himself for a moment.
It seems he's become increasingly wise lately; the system's subtle influence is truly terrifying...
With the crazy growth of mental strength and the perfect absorption of a large amount of knowledge, even a pig would probably take off, right?
Shen Qian was still distracted and caught off guard when Yuan You tackled him in an instant.
Holy crap... What a terrifying woman!
Teacher, you must have seen it, right? I really didn't do it on my own initiative!
