"Brother Lu, don't worry."
Qin Yi smiled faintly but was not worried at all. He looked at Lu Yu confidently and said unhurriedly, "Even if I stand in front of him, he won't do anything to me."
"But …"
Lu Yu was still worried. After all, the other party was the City Lord of Lingfeng City. No matter what happened in his territory, it was hard to predict.
It had to be said that Lu Yu's worries were not completely unreasonable.
However, Qin Yi was not someone who could be easily bullied. Anyone who wanted to touch him would have to see if they had the ability to do so.
Although Kong Yu was the City Lord, Qin Yi had his own trump card. Not to mention that he had already made a contract with Kong Yu. Even if Kong Yu went back on his word and wanted to kill him at all costs, he was confident that he could escape unscathed.
Moreover, he had no reason not to go to this meeting with Kong Yu.
To use the transportation formation to head to the capital, he had to go through the City Lord.
They could wait, but Lu Yu could not. He had already spent too much time on the journey. This was a race against time. How could he continue to delay?
"Brother Lu, when have you ever seen me suffer in the hands of others?"
Qin Yi waved his hand. His face was full of confidence, making Lu Yu and Ning Qiancheng feel inexplicably at ease. "Alright, it has been a tough journey for you. Why don't you find a place to have a drink and wait for my good news."
With that, Qin Yi did not linger and left without looking back.
Lu Yu and Ning Qiancheng knew that once Qin Yi had made up his mind, he would not change it easily.
They did not try to dissuade him anymore and found a place to rest for the time being.
…
Qin Yi soon arrived at the mansion where he met Kong Yu last time. Looking at the closed door, he smiled calmly, then pushed the door open and walked in.
Just like the last time they met, Kong Yu was still sitting there with a cup of fragrant tea in his hand, quietly sipping it.
He looked as if he wouldn't change a thing even if the sky fell down on him.
However, there was a faint chill in his calm eyes. It was obvious that he was not in a good mood.
"Lord City Lord, I, Qin, have already completed the task according to our agreement."
However, Qin Yi turned a blind eye to it. He looked at Kong Yu and said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "I believe that City Lord still remembers that you owe Qin Mo a favor, right?"
Patter.
The teacup landed on the coffee table with a dull thud. Kong Yu slowly raised his head. His eyes were so deep that no one could tell what he was thinking.
Just from the look in his eyes, one could tell that Kong Tianyou's son was worlds apart from his father. It gave Qin Yi a completely different feeling.
Kong Tianyou stood in front of him like a wild dog that only knew how to bark and bite.
Kong Yu, on the other hand, was like a cunning wolf. Not only was he strong, but he was also good at thinking.
"What did you find?"
Kong Yu did not intend to question Qin Yi at all. Instead, he really wanted to ask Qin Yi about the treasure. It seemed that from the beginning to the end, his only goal was the treasure hidden in the Primordial Desolate Forest.
"There is indeed a treasure in the Primitive Wild Forest, and it's in the depths of the forest."
Since the Sky-Stealing Ring was already in his hands, there was no harm in telling Kong Yu about it. "If you want to search for it, you can go deeper. You'll find the answer you want."
Kong Yu's gaze became deeper as he looked at Qin Yi. It was like a deep ocean appeared in front of Qin Yi, making him feel humble and insignificant.
After a while, Kong Yu spoke again, "You killed my subordinates, right?"
His voice was calm and seemed to be playing it down. It was as if he was saying something very ordinary.
There was no emotion in Qin Yi's pitch-black eyes. He chuckled and said, "Qin Mo did encounter a few rats in the Primitive Wild Forest. Qin Mo found them annoying, so he killed them all. Why, are these people the City Lord's subordinates? "
For the first time, Kong Yu's calm eyes showed a trace of strangeness. Obviously, he did not expect Qin Yi to admit to it, and to admit it so directly.
"I knew that it was not easy for you to do things, so I sent people to help you. Instead, they were killed by you. Today, you're making a false accusation. What should I do? "
As she spoke, Kong Yu picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip unhurriedly.
Qin Yi laughed and said, "You're too kind, City Lord. I have something to ask you. I hope you can be generous and enlighten me. "
Kong Yu's gaze swept past Qin Yi and said, "Speak."
"If one day, a stranger suddenly rushes out and claims to be a kind-hearted person sent by the higher-ups to help you achieve great things. However, this person cannot provide any evidence to prove his identity. In that case, Qin Mo, dare I ask you, how should this matter be resolved? "
Kong Yu did not expect this youth in front of him to be so shrewd.
He was very clear that no matter how he answered this question, the result would be disadvantageous to him.
If he said he believed, then without a doubt, he would incur Qin Yi's next question. He would definitely be mocked as a defenseless idiot.
If he said he did not believe, the result was equally obvious. The people he sent out, Xue Sha and the others, died in vain!
"Forget it, just take it that they sacrificed their lives for me to search for treasures."
Xue Sha was Kong Yu's confidant. The death of the others had practically no effect on him. However, Xue Sha's death caused him to suffer a considerable loss.
However, he was a decisive person after all and did not dwell too much on this matter.
Moreover, he was still rather interested in the treasures in the Primitive Wild Forest. To be able to verify that this was not fake, it could be considered a huge gain.
Most importantly, there was still a blood contract binding him and Qin Yi. If he went back on his word, he would definitely suffer a backlash.
At that moment, he nodded and said, "This matter will be considered as successfully completed. Don't worry, I am not a person who goes back on my word. You can ask me to do one thing for you. The premise is that it is within my capabilities. "
After saying that, Kong Yu specially raised his head to look at Qin Yi's face. He discovered that the youth in front of him did not change his emotions at all, and he could not see any flaws.
This kind of feeling was as if there was a statue in front of him. If he looked at it for too long, even he himself would feel extremely bored.
"In that case, I will thank you in advance, Lord City Lord."
After a moment, Qin Yi finally opened his mouth. Although it was to express his gratitude, there was not a hint of gratitude on his face.
Kong Yu smiled coldly, then raised his head and stared intently at Qin Yi. He said, "Before this, I have one more thing that I need you to give me an explanation about."
