Qiao Suinian's words were forceful and directly demonstrated his determination.
Even Ji Kun was somewhat moved. He wrote, "I entrust my heart to Han Xingquan, who is unaware of my intentions. I offer my blood to Xuanyuan!" A man who can write such verses must have a broad vision.
Qiao Suiyue froze on the spot, her gaze towards Qiao Suinian filled with unfamiliarity. Had the Qiao Suinian in front of her been switched?
“Alright, I have no more questions. Once I see the Prince of Zhenxi, everything will be clear.” Ji Kun nodded, choosing to trust Qiao Suinian.
"Don't worry! We'll set off first thing tomorrow morning, and we'll definitely meet the Prince of Zhenxi by tomorrow night at the latest!"
Qiao Suinian breathed a sigh of relief. He had made the right bet. As long as he used the banner of righteousness, he was not worried that Ji Kun would not make a move.
"Then call me again when you set off tomorrow." Ji Kun picked up his sword and prepared to leave.
"Wait! There's one more thing I need your help with. Master Baoshu, Liu Huaqiang, once owed you a favor, right?" Qiao Suinian remembered the stack of documents related to Liu Huaqiang that Ge Liefeng had handed him.
The record clearly states that Ji Kun once saved Liu Huaqiang's life.
Liu Huaqiang's son was a gambling addict who was tricked by his enemies into incurring huge gambling debts. In order to save his son, Liu Huaqiang went to the scene alone with only a watermelon knife, but in the end, he was no match for the enemy and watched as his son was killed by his enemies before his eyes.
Liu Huaqiang was originally going to die, but he was saved by Ji Kun who happened to be passing by.
From that time on, Liu Huaqiang decided to retire and never pay attention to anything outside again.
He arrived at the entrance to the bustling area and became an ordinary melon stall owner; this was where his dream began.
He remembered that when he first stepped into society, the starting point for his fame and fortune was when he stabbed a melon stall owner. He believed that he should end where he started. This was Liu Huaqiang's idea.
“The gate to the Sacred Lake of Tianshan requires the power of the five elements to open, and the metal element power that Liu Huaqiang possesses is indispensable. I tried to contact him once, but he was determined to retire and didn’t want to help me.” Qiao Suinian shook his head with a wry smile.
"Liu Huaqiang? Don't worry, leave this to me. I'll go to him, and if he doesn't agree, I'll secretly use the Ji family's power to find someone else." Ji Kun agreed immediately.
When he does something, he either doesn't agree at all, or once he agrees, he goes all out and doesn't engage in any two-faced tricks. Ji Kun also disdains to do such things.
Watching Ji Kun's departing figure, Qiao Suinian finally breathed a sigh of relief; everything was finally settled.
"What you told Ji Kun wasn't the truth, was it?" Qiao Suiyue slowly walked forward and stared into Qiao Suinian's eyes as she asked.
Does it matter to you whether it's the truth or not?
Qiao Suinian looked at his younger brother, whom he had almost never met in the first half of his life. It seemed that he had never had a proper conversation with Qiao Suiyue. In his eyes, Qiao Suiyue was like a child who had not grown up.
“Of course it’s important! And I want to go with you!” Qiao Yueyue said firmly.
"No way." Qiao Suinian refused without hesitation. Once the gate to Tianshan Sacred Lake is opened, and the news of the Hongyun Qitian Bone is exposed, it is estimated that the world's top experts will rush here, and Tianshan Sacred Lake will become a slaughterhouse.
Even Qiao Suinian himself wasn't sure if he could come back alive from that place, so naturally he wouldn't let Qiao Suiyue take the risk.
Although he occasionally tricked Qiao Yueyue, he was never ambiguous on matters of principle. He just wanted Qiao Yueyue to become successful as soon as possible, not to send him to his death.
"Why should I? You have no right to order me around! On the contrary, you should be the one listening to me!" Qiao Suiyue said stubbornly.
Qiao Suinian suddenly smiled and then stood up.
"You think you can order me around? By what right do you have to command me? By relying on the so-called blood ties of the Qiao family?"
Qiao Suiyue suddenly felt an extremely strong sense of oppression, as if he was facing not a person, but a prehistoric beast. He couldn't help but take two steps back.
"Let me tell you the truth: I have no feelings for that so-called Qiao family, and I have no intention of staying there. I, Qiao Suinian, have no habit of being subservient to others. The only people I really care about are my parents."
"As for you," Qiao Suinian slowly approached, his eyes cold. "You'd better not block my way, otherwise you'll always be my good little brother, even if you can't help me at all and are just a spoiled brat."
"If you died, Mom and Dad would be very sad. Otherwise, you would have died by my hand long ago."
Qiao Suinian's tone was very calm, as if she were talking about something very ordinary, but it sent chills down Qiao Suiyue's spine.
To put it bluntly, although the two are brothers in name, Qiao Suinian has no feelings for Qiao Yueyue at all. After all, the two have never met before. The only people he really cares about are Qiao Chuxu and Ji Jinlan.
Qiao Suinian was not the kind of person who was old-fashioned, so he could not be bound by so-called family ties. Since Qiao Suiyue always felt that he was not worthy of being his brother, he could also pretend that he did not have this younger brother.
Qiao Suiyue leaned against the corner of the wall, his mind blank, and he didn't even realize when Qiao Suinian had left.
"Joe! Years! Years!!!"
Once she recovered, Qiao Suiyue gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with resentment. She had been so frightened that she hadn't dared to move. It was a disgrace!
"ah!"
Qiao Yueyue roared and overturned the table, dumping all the food on it onto the floor.
The waiters outside the private room looked at each other, listening to the commotion coming from inside. None of them dared to come in and see what was happening.
After a while, they saw Qiao Yueyue, with a gloomy face, push open the door and walk out. The waiters dressed as palace maids and eunuchs quickly lowered their heads, afraid of offending Qiao Yueyue, after all, he was the only son of Master Qiao of the capital.
But Qiao Suiyue ignored them and left Lanyue Tower with a dark face.
