In the morning, Ling Ping'an was woken up by the phone.
He picked up his phone and saw that it was only past seven o'clock.
Muttering, he looked at the number.
404100.
The special number of the Federal Empire's Children of Meritorious Contributors Committee.
He sighed and picked up the phone.
"Young Master Ling Ping'an?" The voice of the staff came from the other end of the phone, "I'm a staff member of the Jiangcheng City office of the Federal Empire's Children of Meritorious Contributors Committee..."
"Am I disturbing you?"
"No..." Ling Ping'an actually wanted to complain. Why did he call him so early?
But unfortunately, he was soft-spoken and soft-handed.
In the end, he knew that he was just a rice worm relying on his parents' shadow.
If he was a rice worm, he had to recognize reality!
Even though, even if he didn't dump the other party, they couldn't do anything to Ling Ping'an.
The Federal Empire's protection of the descendants of meritorious contributions was unprecedented.
From the cradle to the grave, every stage had a favorable policy.
As long as they didn't break the law, basically, the descendants of meritorious contributions could live their lives in prosperity.
An A-class meritorious contribution orphan like Ling Ping'an enjoyed even more super treatment!
Even the university entrance exam could add 20 points!
It was because he was too much of a scumbag!
Otherwise, he would have casually gone to the main point.
The attitude of the staff on the other end of the phone was very good. He said softly, "It's like this, young master. At around 10 o'clock this morning, the Royal Commissioner will represent the Empire's royal family, the central government, and the Council of Ministers to visit..."
"I wonder if you're at home?"
When he asked this, the staff seemed to be a little nervous and his voice trembled a little.
However, Ling Ping'an didn't notice this detail because he was already in an extreme dilemma.
"At home..." After a long time, he finally squeezed out these two words.
"Okay!" The other party said, "Then, at that time, the Royal Commissioner will visit on time..."
After hanging up the phone, Ling Ping'an let out a deep breath.
"The Royal Commissioner..." he scratched his hair, "Why did he target me?"
"Hmm..."
"Actually, I can understand..."
Ling Ping'an sat on the bed and held his cheeks.
Of course, he could understand!
There were three ways to be unfilial and have no descendants!
A person like him had probably long been on the assassination list of the Imperial Capital's Meritorious Children Committee.
Perhaps, the officials of the Meritorious Children Committee had already been scolded by the higher-ups because of him.
It had even affected many people's year-end bonuses and promotions.
Logically speaking, they had already given Ling Ping'an a lot of face by holding back until now.
Thinking of this, Ling Ping'an got up.
"I must think of some way to get through this time!" he said to himself, putting on his clothes and going out on the balcony.
It was a little cold in the morning. He wrapped his clothes and looked into the distance.
What method could he use to fool her?
Ling Ping'an frowned deeply.
He really couldn't think of any good ideas!
In the past two days, he had been scratching his head until it broke, but he still couldn't think of a feasible solution.
"Am I really going to be tortured in the capital?" The young bookstore owner's eyes were full of melancholy.
To him, going to the Imperial Capital was no different from going to jail.
In fact, going to prison was better than going to the Imperial Capital!
At least the prison didn't have boring parties and crowds of people coming and going!
Ling Ping'an couldn't help but recall how he felt at the Demon Metropolis when he was eighteen years old.
Boring cocktail party, disgusting food.
There were also those young masters who liked to show off and those women who treated him like a commodity.
It was a very uncomfortable experience!
It made him feel very unhappy!
I am human …
Not the goods on the cupboard in the mall!
Don't look at me like you're picking goods!
...
Qin Keqing had already woken up early in the morning and started to put on makeup.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Qin Keqing nodded in satisfaction.
She put on some light makeup today, which was also her favorite makeup.
She reached out and picked up a draft that had been drawn up on the dresser and looked at it carefully.
This was the draft that she had drafted last night.
After looking at it carefully and confirming that she had not missed anything, she stood up.
Then, she turned around in front of the mirror.
She had specially changed into a retro dress today.
This diluted the inherent domineering aura on her body, making her finally look a little gentle.
After looking at it carefully, Qin Keqing picked up her briefcase and put the royal emblem on her chest.
Then, she said to the mirror, "Hello... I'm the royal commissioner, Qin Keqing..."
After thinking for a while, she seemed to feel that this was not serious enough. She adjusted it again, then reached out her hand and said to the mirror, "Hello, royal commissioner, Qin Keqing..."
At this moment, the door rang.
Qin Keqing walked over and opened the door. Two police officers appeared at the door.
"You are?" Qin Keqing was puzzled.
"Captain Kang Xin of the Jiang City branch of the Blackguard..." the leading police officer took out a document. "We are under orders to protect your safety today..."
Qin Keqing nodded. "Please come in..."
"No need!" The captain who called himself Kang Xin said, "Your Excellency, we are here to inform you..."
With that, the two police officers turned around and left.
Qin Keqing watched as they quietly disappeared at the door. She slowly frowned.
"The Blackguard attaches more importance to today's visit than I imagined..." she thought.
That was the thing that surprised her the most.
Although her understanding of the Blackguard was not very detailed.
However, as the personal secretary of the eldest princess, Qin Keqing had heard of the Blackguard's ferocious might in the transcendent being realm!
It was said that they would kill gods and ghosts if they blocked their way!
They even left behind the heroic words of 'even gods must abide by the law'!
In her impression, the Blackguard was extremely domineering!
In the circle of the imperial capital, there were even stories of the Blackguard destroying families.
But now, the Blackguard, who had destroyed the family, showed an extremely serious and cautious attitude towards this matter.
"So..." a rebellious and absurd thought appeared in Qin Keqing's mind. "Even the Blackguard has to give in?"
Thinking of this, she immediately shook her head and smiled. "How is that possible!"
Blackguard!
That was the Blackguard!
The Blackguard that did not abide by the law and even killed gods!
The Blackguard that did not abide by the law would be found and sent to court even if they hid at the ends of the earth!
The Blackguard that was known as the 'shadow center' and 'transcendent being center'!
How could such a powerful and violent organization bow down to a person in Jiang City?
No matter how strong and powerful he was, so what?
It couldn't be that he was so strong that even the Blackguard couldn't restrain him, right?
If that was the case, how could he still be hiding here?
He would have long gone to the imperial capital to be the emperor, and this year it's my turn.
"Maybe I'm thinking too much..." Qin Keqing shook her head.
"However, the Blackguard attaches so much importance to him. At the very least, it means that the eldest princess' judgment is correct!"
"He's someone worth roping in!"
There was actually such a strong person among the children of meritorious service.
This was the political achievement of the Committee of Meritorious Service and also her achievement!
Thinking of this, Qin Keqing's eyes shone with incomparable confidence.
She picked up her briefcase and walked out of the room.
There was already a car waiting at the door.
It was a silver new energy electric car!
… …
Ling Ping'an sat at the counter.
He looked at the clock on the wall. It was about to be ten o'clock.
"Little darling..." he gently stroked the pet in his arms. "Today, big brother is going to be in big trouble!"
Indeed!
Big trouble was right in front of him!
Because he still hadn't thought of a good way to solve the problem.
This also meant that he might have to agree to the request of the upcoming royal commissioner to go to the imperial capital and participate in the sorority!
Thinking of the imperial capital and the sorority, the young bookstore owner had goosebumps all over his body!
The terrifying experience in the demon city last time, after being magnified ten times or a hundred times, could barely reach the level of the imperial capital sorority!
One had to know that that was the imperial capital!
The imperial capital known as the 'White Jade Capital on Earth'!
In the three hundred years of the Federal Empire, the imperial capital had long been the most prosperous and developed city on this planet.
The population was close to fifty million!
It was almost the total population of a medium-sized country.
With his poor sense of direction, when he reached the imperial capital, he probably wouldn't even dare to leave the hotel because he would get lost.
Thinking of this, he sighed again.
"Little darling, what if I quickly find a girlfriend after the commissioner leaves..." he asked, "and then quickly break up... How about that?"
If that was the case, he could use the excuse of 'emotional injury' to get around it.
Wasn't there a similar case on the Internet?
When he went home for the New Year, he worked as a worker without a girlfriend. He was afraid that his family would urge him to get married, so he rented one from the Internet.
Of course, he was just saying it.
Find a girlfriend?
It was a waste of time!
Even if he rented one symbolically, it was not reliable!
Because of his identity, the Committee for the Children of Meritorious Service would conduct a background check on his lover. This was to prevent the descendants of meritorious service who lacked knowledge and experience from being cheated of money and sex by criminals.
Meow!
The kitten in his arms meowed softly, not agreeing with its master's coquettish actions.
Ling Ping'an stroked its little head and sighed.
At this moment, the sound of a car came from the door.
A small silver car stopped at the door.
Ling Ping'an turned his head slightly and saw a tall woman walking out of the car.
She closed the car door. On her full chest, the phoenix emblem representing the eldest princess shone brightly under the sun.
Ling Ping'an immediately shook his head and stood up helplessly.
If it was a blessing, it wasn't a curse. If it was a curse, it couldn't be avoided!
He could only comfort himself like this.
… …
Qin Keqing closed the car door and walked to the bookstore that she marked on her phone.
She walked to the door of the bookstore and looked up.
"Qiyuan Bookstore!"
A signboard that wasn't considered new hung at the door.
In front of her was a glass door. It looked very clean but a little old.
She slightly tidied up her collar and quickly went through the precautions and prohibitions that she had already memorized in her heart.
At the same time, she sorted out the draft that she had drafted last night.
She carried her briefcase and walked to the glass door. Then, she gently knocked on the door.
Knock, knock, knock...
"Please come in..." a young man's voice came from inside the door.
Qin Keqing pushed open the door and walked in.
As soon as she entered, she saw an extremely simple bookstore. The furnishings were very plain, but it was very clean and tidy.
Rows upon rows of bookshelves were arranged in a very beautiful manner in the bookstore.
At the door was a counter. Inside the counter, a young man holding a cat had already stood up.
Qin Keqing noticed that the bookstore didn't turn on the heating and air conditioning.
But the temperature inside was very suitable for twenty-four or twenty-five degrees.
"Hello..." Qin Keqing walked towards the young man according to the method that she had practiced countless times. She stretched out her hand, "I'm the royal commissioner, Qin Keqing..."
"You're Young Master Ling Ping'an, right?" She asked.
The other party smiled and then adjusted the pair of glasses that he was wearing. It was obvious that they were very cheap. "Yes..." he also stretched out his hand, "I'm Ling Ping'an..."
"Secretary Qin, we talked on the phone..."
"Welcome..."
Qin Keqing's hand shook his. The moment they touched, Qin Keqing could clearly feel that the other party's hand was very warm. When she held it, she felt like she was holding a warm water bag.
"Please sit!" The other party let go of his hand and called out. He led Qin Keqing to the sofa and picked up a disposable cup at the same time.
"Secretary Qin..." he turned around and asked, "Do you want tea or a drink?"
Qin Keqing didn't think too much and sat on the sofa.
This sofa was a little strange. It looked like it was made of gray artificial leather.
But after sitting on it, it was very elastic. It was as if she was sitting on the fat of a whale. It was soft and warm.
When she heard the other party's words, she casually replied, "Tea!"
"Okay!" The other party picked up the cup with a smile and took out a few tea-like leaves from the drawer of the counter.
Then, he walked to the water dispenser and pressed the hot water button.
The sound of water splashing could be heard. After a while, he took the cup and brought it to Qin Keqing. "Secretary Qin, please have some tea..."
He said with a smile. His smile was very sincere.
Qin Keqing took the teacup and took a sip. Her eyes immediately lit up.
"This is..." she began to remember. "What tea is this?"
She had drunk all kinds of famous teas and even top-grade spirit teas.
But...
There was no taste that could compare to this cup of tea.
It was mellow, sweet, delicious, and warm.
With just a sip, Qin Keqing even felt that her mind had cleared up.
So...
"This is a top-grade spirit tea?" She thought.
That was probably it.
But...
What was his purpose in doing this?
Qin Keqing had no choice but to fall into deep thought.
As the eldest princess' private secretary and with the mission of the eldest princess' invitation, she was very clear.
A person who could be noticed by the eldest princess and valued by the blackguard couldn't be a simple person!
Such a person's every move must have a deeper meaning.
If she couldn't understand his meaning, it would be very difficult to achieve her goal this time!
Then the problem was...
He deliberately used a cup of top-grade or even super spirit tea at the beginning. What was he trying to say?
What was he trying to express?
