The freshmen competition of the Hidden Dragon High School ended as scheduled. However, Li Chenglong did not win the championship that he had been longing for. He was only the runner-up!
Yes, the runner-up!
In this freshmen competition, the first place was the runner-up!
Everyone knew that there was one person who did not participate in the competition from the beginning to the end!
He was a freshman, but his strength had long surpassed the limits of all the freshmen!
It was to the extent that if he participated in the competition, he would be bullying others and destroying the balance.
He alone was enough to suppress all the geniuses in the Hidden Dragon High School!
If he was not the champion, none of the geniuses would be convinced.
Li Chenglong was miserable. He protested for a long time in grief and indignation. In the end, he went up the stage happily and received the runner-up prize.
As for the champion … You did not participate in the competition, why should you be rewarded?
It was a pity that Zuo Xiaoduo, who didn't know about this, didn't even attend the award ceremony because he didn't want to worry about it. He was still focused on cultivating!
…
There was a big problem in the interrogation of the Hidden Dragon High School this time.
The five people they captured this time were all Nascent Soul cultivators. This level of cultivation was neither high nor low. In a small place like Phoenix City, this level of cultivation would be considered top-notch. However, in any large clan, this level of cultivation was far below the level of a core member.
Therefore, after they were captured, Wen Xingtian and the others only went to interrogate the mastermind behind the scenes.
In fact, they did not have much hope.
However, the world was so strange. After a round of interrogation, they actually found a big fish!
"Qiu Xiaoqian ordered us to do this!"
They interrogated the five people separately. Three of them knew the mastermind, but the third one heard it from the second one, the second from the eldest one, and the fourth and fifth knew nothing. They only knew that there was a superior.
After hearing this news, the whole Hidden Dragon High School was shocked!
When Wen Xingtian and Xiang Kuangren heard this shocking news, they began to interrogate more carefully. However, no matter how hard they tried, they could not give up anything else. Other than knowing that Qiu Xiaoqian ordered them to kill Zuo Xiaoduo, they did not know anything else.
And these people were Qiu Xiaoqian's hired thugs on normal days.
If you fancy a woman, go snatch it. If you fancy a fortune, go snatch it. If you fancy something, go snatch it!
…
Although Old Four and Old Five did not know that this operation was ordered by Qiu Xiaoqian, they still confessed many of the dirty things they had done for Qiu Xiaoqian.
"That's the general situation."
Wen Xingtian looked surprised. "Qiu Xiaoqian, I'm afraid … he's really a suspect this time. At least, he's definitely involved in this matter."
Ye Changqing rubbed his forehead with a heavy expression.
Qiu Xiaoqian was the brother-in-law of the King of Zhongyuan.
The King of the Central Plains, Fenghai's number one expert, the number one power, and most importantly, he had the backing of the royal family!
This fish was really big!
He immediately dialed the number of the Southern District Chief.
"Chief Nan, there's a new situation … It's like this. This matter involves the Prince Mansion of the Central Plains …"
Hearing this, the other side of the phone fell silent for a moment.
This matter was really a little tricky.
Although Chief Nan did not take the King of the Central Plains seriously, it was not a small matter to suddenly make a move on a prince with real power who could suppress the Central Plains.
On the phone, Chief Nan replied clearly, "You Hidden Dragon High School don't bother about this matter. I'll ask Star Shield to step in and follow the proper procedures."
Ye Changqing said, "But this matter concerns my revenge for Hidden Dragon High School …"
Chief Nan said calmly, "If Hidden Dragon High School were to step in, it's very likely that there would be no results. Everyone knows that Qiu Xiaoqian does not have such ability and courage, so there must be someone else behind him.
But the person behind him might not necessarily be the King of the Central Plains!
And most importantly, if the other party's mastermind is really the King of the Central Plains, even if Hidden Dragon High School does its best, it might not be a match for him. It's better not to provoke him.
With Hidden Dragon High School's current situation, even if the mastermind is not the King of the Central Plains, the pressure from the King of the Central Plains is still something you can't handle. "
Ye Changqing nodded slowly and said, "Yes, this is reality!"
Chief Nan said, "Once Qiu Xiaoqian enters Star Shield, his identity and background in the King of the Central Plains can be temporarily set aside. If he wants to get away, it will depend on whether his position is important or not. If his position is important enough, someone will definitely take action, either to fish him out or to silence him. "
"And when it comes to dealing with this, Hidden Dragon High School is also far inferior to Star Shield."
Ye Changqing said, "Yes, but I'm afraid Star Shield will not be able to catch him …"
"This time, I'll send people directly from Star Shield," Chief Nan said.
"But now that more than a night has passed, Qiu Xiaoqian might have already heard the news and fled."
"He won't."
Chief Nan's voice was very certain. "These five people must be kept alive!"
Then, the phone call ended.
Ye Changqing and Wen Xingtian looked at each other.
They didn't understand why Chief Nan was so confident.
If they hadn't been busy moving yesterday, there might have been hope of catching Qiu Xiaoqian. But they had been busy moving for so long and had been drinking all night …
There was no way Qiu Xiaoqian didn't know that those five people had failed. He wasn't a fool. Why wouldn't he run?
Although they knew that if they didn't interrogate him in time, there might be unforeseen circumstances, Ye Changqing and the others still drank that wine without hesitation.
Because that was … a wine that they had dreamed of but didn't dare to hope for a long time.
They had made up their minds yesterday: If they couldn't get anything out of the interrogation, then forget it. Even if there were really clues, they would just have to put in more effort.
Today, when they learned about Qiu Xiaoqian's whereabouts, although they felt regretful, they didn't regret it.
But why was Chief Nan so confident that Qiu Xiaoqian wouldn't run?
It was puzzling!
…
At this time, in the King of the Central Plains' residence.
The King of the Central Plains was standing by the huge fish pond. In his hand were Xiao's Star Beast Condensed Cores, which were the size of corn grains. He threw them into the fish pond one by one.
One after another, fishes with wings and golden luster all flew out of the water surface, fighting to snatch the treasures.
They swallowed them and sank to the bottom.
Once they snatched the cores, they had to digest them.
These Star Beast Condensed Cores might be good stuff, but to these fish, they were just right for them to bear. They wouldn't suffer from indigestion after eating them.
The King of the Central Plains had a lot of Star Beast Condensed Cores in his hands, but there seemed to be more fish in the pond.
Judging by the size of each fish, they probably weighed more than 50 kilograms. But no matter whether they jumped out of the water or fell, they didn't make a lot of noise or splash.
There were only soft splashes. Such big fish actually only made the soft sound of bubbles popping when they jumped out of the water …
But because the sound was too loud, they didn't eat the Star Beast Condensed Cores.
The King of the Central Plains was already quite effective against this group of Three-Winged Star Spirit Fish that he had trained for a long time.
His phone suddenly rang.
The King of the Central Plains didn't immediately answer. A moment later, the butler walked over quickly with the phone in his hand.
"Your Highness!"
"Hm?"
"It's Chief Nan."
"Oh?"
The King of the Central Plains took the phone, and his laughter was exceptionally hearty. "Chief Nan, why are you so free today to call me personally?"
Over the phone, Chief Nan's voice was very cold. "King of the Central Plains, I have to inform you of something bad. Please be careful."
"Chief Nan, please go ahead."
"Your brother-in-law is suspected of seeking the Hidden Dragon High Martial Arts Academy."
Chief Nan said directly, "The evidence is irrefutable. Before this afternoon, get him ready. I want him alive and intact. He can't turn into a corpse after entering SHIELD, and he can't have his life and death controlled by others. He can't say anything. Before six o 'clock in the evening, I'll ask SHIELD to go to the King of the Central Plains' residence to get him. "
Chief Nan's voice was very calm. "Is there a problem?"
The King of the Central Plains' expression changed.
He pondered and didn't answer for a while. After a pause, he said, "Go and see where Qiu Xiaoqian is now."
The butler didn't hesitate and left with a whoosh.
The King of the Central Plains said in a low voice, "Chief Nan, please wait for a moment. I'll go and confirm Qiu Xiaoqian's whereabouts now. I'll definitely give you an answer."
The King of the Central Plains' cold voice said, "I don't want to hear your answer. I just want Qiu Xiaoqian in good condition! If he's dead, then you'll be the biggest suspect! "
The King of the Central Plains laughed. "Chief Nan, are you thinking of arresting me too?"
The King of the Central Plains said, "You can try. Kill Qiu Xiaoqian before this afternoon, and see if I dare to arrest you!"
With a smack, the phone was hung up.
The King of the Central Plains grabbed the phone that had already been hung up, and it was still pressed against his ear. His expression was unprecedentedly gloomy.
His eyes were filled with murderous intent.
The butler flew over. "Your Highness, Young Master Qiu is missing. We don't know where he went for the time being."
"Missing?"
The King of the Central Plains smiled faintly. He turned to look at the fish pond and threw out a condensed pill. He watched as a big fish swooped out and swallowed the condensed pill. He said faintly, "Find Qiu Xiaoqian and detain him in the residence. Hand him over in the afternoon!"
"But …"
"I don't want to say it a second time."
The King of the Central Plains said faintly, "Qiu Xiaoqian who's alive and can talk, who can't have his life and death controlled by others, and who can't enter Star Shield and then die … Qiu Xiaoqian who's intact and sane."
The butler was stunned and said respectfully, "Yes!"
Then he turned and left.
The next moment, thousands of people from the King of the Central Plains' residence rushed out of the residence and scattered in all directions. However, after a while, more figures flew out from all directions and sped in all directions …
The King of the Central Plains' expression was gloomy as he continued to feed the fish. Only his eyes flickered and flickered.
Nan Zhengqian … really dared to arrest him.
Although he was only the Minister of Finance.
If it were another minister, the King of the Central Plains might not even care. However, Nan Zhengqian was different. He was completely different.
Everyone knew that.
There was no marshal in the south!
Nan Zhengqian was the Minister of Finance in Shang Jing, but there was no marshal in the southern army now.
However, no one dared to go to the south!
