"This item is so evil. Mister, please throw it away!"
Hearing the sensational words "Soul Devouring Jade", Xia Zelei's expression changed as he hurriedly advised. He did not want to harm Qin Yichen again.
"This item is indeed harmful to normal people. However, it is a rare cultivation item for alchemists of the human level and above."
Qin Yichen did not hide anything and said directly, "If Your Highness is willing to give it to me, how about it?"
"This …"
Xia Zelei was hesitant. It was not because he was unwilling to part with it, but because he was worried that this item would harm Qin Yichen. However, when he saw that Qin Yichen was not joking, he nodded his head. After all, even if Qin Yichen did not take it away, he did not dare to keep it.
"Mister, since you have helped Zi Yi and cured Xin Qing's illness, please tell me if you have any requests. As long as it is something that I, Xia Zelei, can do, I will not hesitate."
Xia Zelei was indeed King Xiaoyao. Although he knew that Qin Yichen must have a purpose for helping him, he did not intend to shirk the responsibility at this time. Instead, he asked directly.
"It is very simple. I want Your Highness to fully support the Seventh Princess … Xia Ziling." Qin Yichen smiled and said calmly.
"Xia Ziling? That illegitimate child? "
Hearing this, Xia Zelei frowned and smiled bitterly. As expected, this guy's motive was not simple.
Xia Ziling was merely a lucky illegitimate child, and she just so happened to possess the Kunsky Tiger Dragon Martial Spirit. That was why she was promoted to the seventh princess as an exception. However, this would also be her greatest honor.
After all, she was just an illegitimate child. It was already a great fortune for her to have the status of a princess.
"That's right. Furthermore, I want her to become the ruler of the Duchy." Qin Yichen nodded and said seriously.
"Mister, you think too highly of me …"
Xia Zelei shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I can promise you that I will fully support Xia Ziling. However, it is not up to me to make her the ruler of the Duchy."
Seeing the confusion in Qin Yichen's eyes, Xia Zelei continued, "This is no longer ten years ago. If it was back then, I would have only needed to raise my arm and call for Sir's conditions to be fulfilled. However, after more than ten years, my royal brother has already changed the candidates for many important positions in the army. It's impossible to make Xia Ziling a ruler directly."
Xia Zelei looked at Qin Yichen and continued, "Mister, don't worry. Even though I cannot guarantee that Xia Ziling will become the ruler, as long as I support her, she will definitely become one of the top three candidates.."
"Then I will have to trouble Your Highness. I will ask Xia Ziling to discuss this matter with you in detail."
Qin Yichen nodded. He also knew that, after all, Xia Ziling would face huge setbacks because of her identity as an illegitimate child or because she was a woman. Even with all these, Xia Zelei could still support him without hesitation. It was enough to see that he was sincerely grateful to him.
"Your Highness, I will take my leave first."
Qin Yichen bowed to Xia Zelei and prepared to leave. Xia Zelei did not force Qin Yichen to rest in his residence. In the end, he asked Xia Ziyi to accompany Qin Yichen back to Dankai.
In the main hall of the Li Residence.
Li Zhengping sat at the head of the table with a gloomy expression. In front of him, a spy was reporting Qin Yichen's whereabouts.
"You are saying that Xia Ziyi brought him to Lord Freedom's Residence and stayed there for half a day?" Li Zhengping's expression was frighteningly gloomy and his voice was extremely low.
"Yes. After Qin Yichen left the Dankai, we had a few spies following him and confirmed that he had been staying in Lord Freedom's Residence all this time. He only came out with Xia Ziyi fifteen minutes ago."
The spy lowered his head and hurriedly said.
"How is that possible? Even I have never stayed in Lord Freedom's Residence for more than two hours … "
Li Zhengping frowned. Even if Qin Yichen recommended Xia Ziyi to President Hai, it should not be enough for her to receive such treatment.
Suddenly, Li Zhengping's eyes narrowed as he thought of a possibility.
"Impossible. Princess Freedom's illness has been going on for more than a year. Could this brat be able to treat her illness?"
Li Zhengping roared in his heart. However, he faintly felt that other than this possibility, there was no other reason for a young brat to stay in Lord Freedom's Residence for such a long time.
"If this brat is related to Lord Freedom, then it will be even harder to get rid of him."
Thinking of this, Li Zhengping slammed the table and stood up. He could not just sit there and do nothing. He had to take action.
Wasn't Dankai protecting Qin Yichen?
What if Dankai chased him out?
"Prepare a generous gift. I want to meet President Lin personally!"
Li Zhengping painfully ordered. Unless he had no other choice, he really did not want to deal with that ruthless old man.
…
In a secret room in Dankai.
After exiting from his cultivation state, Qin Yichen slowly opened his eyes. A frightening light flashed across his eyes. It was obvious that his spiritual power had improved by quite a bit.
"This cultivation speed is indeed worthy of being called the Soul Devouring Jade!"
Qin Yichen praised and kept the Soul Devouring Jade in his ring.
Just as he was about to go out, a burst of noise came from outside.
"Who dares to quarrel here?"
Qin Yichen frowned slightly. The secret room he was in was one of the top floors of Dankai. This was not a place for ordinary alchemists. Even some Dankai elders were not qualified to enter.
When Qin Yichen opened the door and walked out, he was shocked to find that the two old men who were quarreling were rather familiar.
One of them was old man Hai, and the other was one of the two giants of Dankai, a human level alchemist … President Lin!
However, Qin Yichen's expression became awkward when he heard the contents of their quarrel.
"Old man Hai, have you gone senile? How could you bring a random young man to the top floor of Dankai? Do you think this is your home?" President Lin scolded unhappily.
"What does it have to do with you who I bring?" Old man Hai replied angrily.
Qin Yichen frowned and looked around. He found that Xia Ziyi was waiting at the stairs in the distance with a sullen face. She didn't say a word, for fear of provoking the anger of these two guys.
