This person was undoubtedly Bali. Even though it was already deep into the night, he was still dressed in a black fitted suit, his appearance immaculate, constantly maintaining the etiquette expected of the Blood Clan.
But at this mont, his expression was not very pleasant. For the first ti in over a hundred years, he had been stood up. The noble Duke of the Bruch Family, who would dare not show him the least bit of respect? This woman, she was simply too wicked!
Bali was muttering complaints when a light laugh sounded behind him.
"I didn’t expect the noble Blood Clan to also have the habit of talking behind people’s backs. Tsk, they all say Duke Bali of the Bruch Family is aloof and arrogant, looking down on everyone. Seeing you today, it seems the rumors don’t quite match reality."
Bali was startled, quickly turning around. When he saw the figure of An Yiqing, his heart was drastically shocked.
When did she arrive? How did she appear? Why did he not feel a thing? Could it be that her power had already reached such a formidable level?
According to the power hierarchy of Ancient Martial Artists and the Blood Clan, soone at the mid-level Demigod stage should be on par with a duke of the Blood Clan. However, what Bali didn’t know was that An Yiqing had used the Invisibility Technique upon her arrival, creating the illusion of formidable prowess.
"Duke Bali, what? Is there a flower on my face?" An Yiqing feigned ignorance, smiling as she looked at him.
Bali took a deep breath, reining in his shock, and replaced it with a cold expression.
"Miss An Yiqing, Xuanjin has always been a land of etiquette, how could you be late like this?"
An Yiqing let out a soft laugh, stepping towards Bali. As she walked, she said, "It’s always been said that the n of the Blood Clan are noble gentlen. Could it be that after waiting for half an hour longer, a well-bred gentleman would react so furiously towards a lady?"
Bali was speechless, rendered silent by An Yiqing’s retort. He prided himself on being a gentleman, and waiting for a lady was, of course, no big deal, but he simply couldn’t stand the fox-like smile on An Yiqing’s face.
"Duke Bali, calling out so late at night, isn’t just to ask why I was late, right?" An Yiqing asked proactively upon seeing Bali fall silent.
Bali’s eyes flickered, his deep gaze penetrating as he looked at An Yiqing, scrutinizing her thoroughly from top to bottom.
"A few days ago, I ran into my disgraceful cousin."
"You an Eddie?" An Yiqing asked.
Bali nodded, "At the ti, I had just killed a Refuno Family scum. He used sothing called ’Corpse-Dissolving Liquid’ to help eliminate future worries. I now have that thing in my possession. Miss An, does it look familiar to you?"
With that, Bali took out a small blue-and-white porcelain bottle from his pants pocket, which was precisely the bottle of Corpse-Dissolving Liquid from An Yiqing to Eddie.
An Yiqing smiled and nodded, "I gave that to Eddie. So? Does Mr. Bali wish to question on this?"
"No, Miss An. Let’s speak openly — you are very talented, and your fiancé, Mr. Gu Yelin, is also a force to reckon with."
"Thank you for the complint. However, what does this suggest?" An Yiqing said with a smile that showed neither joy nor sadness, without surprise or anger.
Bali stared at An Yiqing for a mont, cursing inwardly, "Cunning woman." He massaged the blue veins throbbing on his forehead, his deep gaze fixed on An Yiqing.
"I hope to cooperate with Miss An and your fiancé to help the Bruch Family seize the position of the Clan Chief of the Blood Clan."
An Yiqing rely smiled without speaking, not showing any surprise at Bali’s proposal. She had foreseen this collaboration a few days ago when she handed that bottle of Corpse-Dissolving Liquid to Eddie. The reason for delaying until now, pressuring Bali to make the request, was naturally to extract as much benefit as possible from this cooperation.
"The position of Clan Chief of the Blood Clan is not so easily taken. As far as I know, only the Blood Emperor is qualified to occupy that position. Mr. Bali, neither the Bruch Family nor the entire Blood Clan seems to have a Blood Emperor."
"Miss An certainly lives up to being a beautiful and talented eastern beauty, indeed unable to conceal things from you about the Blood Clan." A trace of approval flashed in Bali’s eyes as he openly acknowledged An Yiqing’s words, "Indeed, the Clan Chief position of the Blood Clan is only qualified for a Blood Emperor. Since the day our ancestor Cain existed, the position has belonged to either a Blood Emperor or a Purple-Gold Blood Emperor. Compared to the ordinary Blood Emperor, the Purple-Gold Blood Emperor is even more qualified for this position. But for hundreds of years, apart from our great ancestor Cain, no other Purple-Gold Blood Emperor has appeared, leaving it as rely a legend in the hearts of our Blood Clan."
