"I still have matters to attend to … Thank you, young master, for your kindness. Let us meet again next time!"
As King Qinguang spoke, he made up his mind that Yun Yang would definitely ask him to stay if he said so, but no matter how Yun Yang asked him to stay later, he could not stay …
This was a serious matter.
"Ah, I see. Since Your Highness is so busy, I shall not keep Your Highness. It would be bad if I were to delay Your Highness's important matters."
Yun Yang was all smiles as he cupped his fists. "Have a safe trip, Your Highness. Do come often when you're free."
When First Court King Qinguang walked out of the Residence of Yun, he felt like his intestines were in a knot.
Why was everything this guy said so illogical?!
Logically, if the host had invited the guest to stay but the guest had declined, should the host not be even more passionate in asking the guest to stay? Even if he knew that he could not make the guest stay, should he not be more courteous?
How could this Young Master Yun …
He was too honest!
He was too honest …
It's just that, why do I feel so uncomfortable when he's so honest …
Forget it, I'd better go back and investigate He Hanqing's background. That's a serious matter!
First Court King Qinguang told himself.
Today's incident had a bad feeling about it. He could faintly feel that he had been tricked …
First Court King Qinguang turned into a ghastly ghastly fog and left as fast as lightning.
After a long, long time …
At an unusually secretive location.
First Court King Qinguang cried out, his face pale and drained of all color.
He was trembling all over, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets as he wailed, "Despicable bastard, your father has been tricked by you …"
Initially, after checking the forbidden list and confirming that He Hanqing's name was not on it, First Court King Qinguang was finally relieved. However, when he flipped through the list of dangerous people, he discovered something unexpected.
The Concourse of the Underworld's forbidden list meant that these people should not be killed if they could. Killing them would bring great trouble to oneself, but it was not that they could not be targeted at all. As long as the price was high enough, they could still be killed …
However, the other list of dangerous people was completely different.
The so-called list of dangerous people … the people on this list were the real danger. This danger was manifested in the fact that the target's strength was ridiculously high. You might not be able to kill him, and the person who attacked him might even die at his hands. Secondly, even if the target was killed, there would still be a follow-up to this incident. The target still had a powerful background behind him, and it was very likely that it would bring great danger to the Concourse of the Underworld, or even a catastrophe!
This kind of person must never be touched!
However, when King Qinguang looked at the name list, he saw a problem.
When he first read it, he didn't see the name "He Hanqing" either.
But just as King Qinguang was about to close the name list, he saw a place that seemed particularly familiar. He couldn't help but take a closer look.
The Four Seasons Tower's Must Not Kill List.
Mr. Nian, Saber, Sword, Snow, Frost, and Ice; the Four Supreme Lords.
The first six people did not have specific names, only code names.
However, the Four Great Supremacies had names.
The first in line was astonishingly: Supreme Lord Spring Frost He Hanqing!
Seeing this, First Court King Qinguang shuddered, his eyes bulging. With a wail, he sprung up, his hair standing on end as the pores all over his body opened up.
He was petrified!
'Oh, my god …'
'This must be a dream!'
The next moment, First Court King Qinguang looked through the list again with widened eyes. Finally, he sighed, his face ashen.
'It's really him!'
An important figure of the Four Seasons Tower.
Supreme Lord Spring Frost.
He Hanqing!
Such a person was not only extremely dangerous, he was absolutely not to be touched!
According to the Concourse of the Underworld's principles, even if the other party were to offer billions of taels of gold, they would not touch a person. Who would've thought that he would actually sign an absolute death contract with the price of a million taels today?
Moreover, I've even given him a twenty percent discount on this one million taels!
First Court King Qinguang felt like he was going to die for a moment!
Looking at the signed contract, thinking about the acknowledgement of Heaven's Will and the punishment of violating the contract …
First Court King Qinguang wanted to cry but had no tears.
"It's over, it's over. I've been tricked badly this time. How could this happen?"
First Court King Qinguang paced back and forth in the secret chamber, walking seventy to eighty rounds in just a short while. He pulled at his hair so hard that he was almost bald.
"I must discuss this with the other brothers …" First Court King Qinguang was as anxious as a stray dog, turning into a wraith fog and dashing out of the secret chamber. It was as if he was being chased by a million-strong army as he ran back with all his might.
He wanted to return to the Concourse of the Underworld's headquarters.
He wanted to discuss it with the other brothers.
This matter … is too serious. Brothers, I've pierced a hole in the sky …
First Court King Qinguang looked miserable as he sprinted.
No wonder I felt a sense of familiarity. So that's how it is … There are actually four more words in front of the name He Hanqing. Those four words are the ones that really resound like thunder to the ears …
As a result, He Hanqing's name was not that eye-catching at the back.
Of course, I have no impression of the name He Hanqing, but why didn't you tell me that you wanted to kill Supreme Lord Spring Frost?
I'm finished, I'm finished, I'm finished …
If the other brothers knew about this, how would they scold me?
"Are you an idiot?"
"Is your brain made of glue?!"
"Even if it's not mush, it must be flooded!"
"Have you been living for so many years in vain?"
"Don't you think so?"
"Why aren't you going to die?"
…
Everything else aside, these words were definitely there!
First Court King Qinguang sighed as he ran.
F * ck, I knew that pretty boys aren't good people. Your father has really been tricked today …
Your father must be blind. Why did I find him pleasing to the eye? Why do I even care about him? Pretty boys don't have good intentions, what a wise saying!
…
King Qinguang left.
Yun Yang finally heaved a sigh of relief. Having signed the contract witnessed by heaven, even if King Qinguang found out about it later, he could not go back on his word. Although this matter was despicable and went against his conscience, he could not care so much for now given the current situation.
Bai Yixue also heaved a sigh of relief. Coming out of the room, he looked at Yun Yang like he had seen a ghost. His expression was one of disbelief, incredulity, and doubt.
Bai Yixue's gaze was filled with shock.
"Young Master Yun, you must know He Hanqing's true identity!" Bai Yixue said.
"How so?" Yun Yang asked.
Bai Yixue said, "If you didn't know how terrifying he is, you wouldn't have plotted against First Court King Qinguang! You know very well what kind of identity King Qinguang has. The consequences of tricking him like this are unimaginable. However, you did it despite knowing it. This can only mean that He Hanqing's identity is actually more terrifying than First Court King Qinguang's. "
Yun Yang replied faintly, "Not necessarily."
"Who is He Hanqing?" Bai Yixue asked in a low voice.
"Are you sure you want to know?" Yun Yang looked at Bai Yixue with interest.
Bai Yixue said angrily, "I've already offended him. Can't I even know his true identity?"
Yun Yang looked at Bai Yixue with a different expression.
Bai Yixue instinctively felt that something was amiss. "If it's inconvenient …" He wanted to say, "Don't say it if it's inconvenient."
Before he could finish his sentence, Yun Yang had already said leisurely, "He Hanqing is … the Four Seasons Tower's Supreme Lord Spring Frost!"
"Supreme Lord Spring Frost!"
The four words were like a thunderclap that rang in Bai Yixue's head; he actually felt a little dizzy at that moment.
When he came back to his senses, Bai Yixue suddenly felt extremely speechless. He wanted to cry, but he had no tears to shed.
I … I've actually offended the most terrifying sect in the martial arts world, the Four Seasons Tower! I even wanted to assassinate their Supreme Lord Spring Frost …
Am I tired of living?
Bai Yixue looked at Yun Yang with a resentful gaze. This child has set me up so badly!
"It's useless even if you kill me now, it's useless even if you betray me. Because … you've already offended those you should have offended." Yun Yang's smile was gentle.
Bai Yixue was tongue-tied as he said in grief and indignation, "You … you've set me up!"
"You won't regret it in the future." Yun Yang smiled.
It was this smile that made Bai Yixue want to punch him just by looking at it.
After a long moment of dizziness, he finally remembered and said, "But … even if … you … you don't have a reason to set First Court King Qinguang up …"
"I do!" Yun Yang said calmly, "And I'm confident."
"Confident?"
Bai Yixue was bewildered. What kind of person was First Court King Qinguang? Did he really not know He Hanqing's identity?
The more Bai Yixue thought about it, the more confused he became. However, looking at Yun Yang's confident smile, he finally realized that his brain was not even worth mentioning compared to this Young Master Yun before him.
He decided to stop guessing and ask honestly.
"Young … Young Master Yun, how did you do it?" Bai Yixue was stuttering.
Yun Yang looked at Bai Yixue meaningfully and smiled faintly. "Because of you, I did it."
"Because of me?" Bai Yixue could not wrap his head around it. What did this have to do with him?
Bai Yixue felt that his brain capacity was severely lacking. He did not know if it was an illusion, but ever since he was forced to seek refuge in the Residence of Yun after being injured, his brain had been lacking. He had made up his mind to seek refuge here under the pretext of denouncing Yun Yang, but Yun Yang's aura had turned the tables on him in a matter of seconds and his face had been peeled clean, yet he still could not leave in anger.
Then, his treasured collection had vanished into thin air. He had only asked a few questions and he had been reprimanded, almost breaking down from frustration.
What truly made Bai Yixue break down and feel fear, even terror, was the fact that First Court King Qinguang had come today and Yun Yang had led the mighty King Qinguang into a pit with just a few words without him even realizing it. He had even casually brought up heaven's will as a witness; it was a clear sign that King Qinguang would not pay with his life.
Thinking back to the past, was he not King Qinguang's precedent? Yun Yang was merely repeating the pattern, changing the medicine but not the soup!
