Ye Qingya asked, "Xiao Qin, what happened?"
As Qin Xiao ate his meal, everyone noticed his unusual expression and became curious.
Qin Xiao shook his head. "It's nothing serious, it's just that Wang Xinian's family seems to be a bit dissatisfied."
Lu Chengxiao was somewhat surprised, "You teamed up with Wang Xinian?"
"Is there a problem?" Qin Xiao asked her curiously.
Lu Chengxiao shook his head. "Wang Xinian is alright, but the Wang family is no pushover."
I suspect the Wang family is jealous of your gains this time.
Ye Qinghuan glanced at Qin Xiao and said, "Sister Chengxiao, the Wang family is a powerful family in the capital. Do you think our little bit of stuff can offend them?"
Lu Chengxiao sighed, "The Wang family has always been domineering and unreasonable. Although I don't know which secret realm you went to this time..."
However, considering only the applicability of spiritual weapons, such valuable items are extremely precious, so it's understandable that some members of the royal family would want to possess them.
"They just take over whenever they want? Does the Wang family in the capital have absolute power?" Ye Qinghuan said indignantly.
Ye Qingya's expression was solemn. "Although the other party won't do anything in the capital, when they were exploring the secret realm or going out..."
Such tactics are difficult to defend against, so it's best to avoid conflict unless absolutely necessary.
After all, you and Xiao Qin will be staying in the capital for several more years. Constantly guarding against thieves isn't a long-term solution.
Ye Qingya's words were mature and prudent, and everyone turned their gaze to Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao finished the last bite of his meal and put down his bowl.
"Let me ask about the situation first."
As Qin Xiao spoke, he tapped his bracelet and sent a message to Wu Linye of the Spirit Contract Association.
Qin Xiao: President Wu, I was exploring an unclaimed wilderness in the capital, and because my teammates were from the Wang family...
Now that they've gained something, the Wang family might want to do something. Can the association withstand the pressure?
After sending the message, Qin Xiao put away the bracelet.
"Don't worry, let's see how things go first."
Qin Xiao remained calm, after all, he was also a member of the Spirit Contract Association. If the association could withstand the Wang family,
That's fine, as long as no one with excessive combat power makes a move, Qin Xiao will dare to chop down any opponent who dares to extend their claws.
If the association can't hold on...
Then just hand it over. What's there to say?
This world has never been a place of warmth, but rather filled with power and bullying.
Only those who are strong can rise above these rules.
Know when to back down, play it safe until you've developed your strength, and then let the opponent try. My sword may not be at a disadvantage!
bite!
Qin Xiao looked down and tapped the bracelet.
It wasn't a reply from Chairman Wu, but rather a message from Wang Xinian.
Wang Xinian: Qin Xiao, I'm very sorry that this happened because of me.
My uncle will send someone over soon, so please make sure there is no conflict and hand over the items.
I have been punished by my family and sent to a secret realm for arduous training. I will find a way to make up for your losses when I come out.
Qin Xiao's expression was inscrutable; he neither confirmed nor denied anything and did not reply to the message.
Putting aside whether Qin Xiao wanted to start a conflict, he couldn't even be sure whether the other party's words were sincere or not.
Compensation? How will you compensate?
This batch of goods is worth several hundred diamond-grade spirit crystals, while Wang Xinian is only at the platinum grade. How can she compensate for it?
He even doubted whether the person sending the message was Wang Xinian at all.
Moreover, the way this happened is so strange; who knows if it was a setup by the other party?
Although Qin Xiao disliked assuming malice in others, ...the human heart is unpredictable.
I hesitated for a moment on the block/delete button, but in the end I just closed the message.
At that moment, another message notification came in; a message from Wu Linye had arrived.
Wu Linye: I've reported the situation. I'll relay the magistrate's exact words to you.
The Wang family is forcing Deng to deal with them. If you can beat them, then just do it!
If you can't win, just play it safe and stay away from school and the capital.
Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
Great, this style gives me a sense of belonging.
Qin Xiao had never really felt a strong connection to these organizations, since he had never actually interacted with these bigwigs throughout the entire process.
But since that's what they said, it couldn't possibly be something they were just trying to fool me, Qin Xiao.
Even if the other party had some kind of scheme, Qin Xiao was determined to be the pawn, since it was related to him too, and they had already come knocking on his door.
"Alright, don't worry. We'll stay in the capital less lately. We're not without connections."
Qin Xiao comforted everyone.
Ye Qingya looked at him, "Someone from the association?"
Qin Xiao nodded. Ye Qingya knew that he had joined the Spirit Contract Association, and Lu Chengxiao also knew.
“If the Spirit Contract Association is willing to protect you, then there’s no need to worry about the Wang family,” Lu Chengxiao said approvingly.
At this point, Qin Xiao also became interested, "Speaking of which, your Lu family is no small fry either."
Do you know anything about this association and the Wang family? I haven't even met any of the association's higher-ups yet.
Lu Chengxiao smiled and said, "My Lu family can barely protect itself. As for the Wang family, it is said that there are two guards whose abilities are unknown."
The three current leaders of the family are all in their prime and are top-tier Diamond-level experts.
As for the Spirit Contract Association, that's hard to say. The Spirit Contract Association is a guild.
Moreover, its strongholds are spread throughout the entire Huawu Kingdom, and even overseas, making it a diverse and mixed community.
I don't really know who's in the upper echelons, but there must be quite a few of them.
Qin Xiao nodded. That's alright. Three peak Diamond Rank experts, right?
However, it's only two levels higher and twenty stars higher, so it doesn't seem like it's untouchable.
Qin Xiao didn't take the Wang family members seriously at all; all he could think about were the three leading figures in the family.
The urgency to cultivate has intensified. Once I reach Platinum rank, everything will be much easier!
Even if they can't win, they're more than capable of protecting themselves.
Qin Xiao stood up, put his arm around Slovic's waist, and said, "You guys continue eating. I'm full and I'm going upstairs to cultivate."
Qin Xiao hadn't done anything yet, but the three women all looked somewhat unnatural.
The main problem is that Qin Xiao never does anything productive and always causes trouble that makes people feel embarrassed.
When asked, he always said he was practicing spiritual cultivation, but now that everyone hears he's practicing spiritual cultivation, they all feel a little awkward.
Qin Xiao ignored all that and went upstairs back to his room.
This time, I really need to start my spiritual practice.
Qin Xiao took out the diamond-grade spirit crystal he had just acquired and sat down cross-legged.
The beast tamers all left the demon realm and sat down to share the fruit.
After checking Jianmu's status, Qin Xiao withdrew his attention with some anticipation.
"Hey, my darlings, whether your master can stand up this time depends entirely on your efforts," Qin Xiao said, looking at his tamed beasts.
Ultimately, it depends on the performance of Ilya, Jingjing, Youyou, and Ling'er.
Slovic hasn't fused the template yet, and hasn't collected all the divine essence.
Qin Xiao was a little worried; if he needed this divine essence later on, it would be troublesome.
Jianmu is still in the process of advancement, and it's hard to estimate when the other party will complete it, so it's probably out of reach.
The remaining four have all reached the intermediate Platinum and advanced Gold levels during this period.
After a month or two of dedicated practice, I think I'll be able to reach Platinum rank.
An 18-year-old platinum-level player beating up an old diamond-level player like Deng Er—just thinking about it is exciting.
