Qin Tian and Leng Yu arrived at a secluded tea house, both alertly surveying the environnt around them.
Leng Yu whispered, "Bing He, you've achieved great rit this ti. Are you happy?"
Seeing Leng Yu's questioning tone, Qin Tian sensed sothing was off and smiled, saying, "Ice Bird, if you have sothing to say, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush."
"I didn't realize before, you are such a ruthless person."
"Huh? What are you saying?"
Upon hearing Leng Yu's words, Qin Tian clearly paused in surprise.
Leng Yu said, "You helped our enemy kill our own people, not just one or two, but several tens of thousands!"
So this was what it was about.
Qin Tian had nothing to say now.
He had indeed killed people from the Dragon Clan. It's a factual reality, and it was written into the battle report, earning him a promotion.
"I had no choice... Opportunities on the battlefield change in an instant, what do you expect to do?"
Qin Tian spread his hands, looking at Leng Yu: "At the East State battlefield, the Dragon Clan soldiers wouldn't know my true identity. If I didn't kill them, do you think they wouldn't try to kill ? They might strike twice more."
Qin Tian fixed his gaze on Leng Yu, explained: "So, one thing is one thing, for survival on the battlefield, I had to fight them desperately. Maybe you also know, at that ti, we were trapped east of the East State Mountain Range, heavily surrounded by them. If I didn't resist fiercely, not only , my n would have perished with . Dragon Clan people are human, but aren't my n human too? War is rciless."
"I survived and got promoted because of it. Upon seeing , instead of congratulating on surviving, you mock like this, is it appropriate?"
Qin Tian's speech made Leng Yu lower his brow.
"Sorry, I was just saddened by the loss of so many clansn. Sorry, Ice Bird."
Qin Tian didn't expect Leng Yu to apologize to him.
However, he could see that Leng Yu's expression today was sowhat unusual.
"Ice Bird, what's wrong with you?"
Qin Tian asked, "Has sothing happened?"
Leng Yu looked at him, nodding: "Yes."
"What happened?"
"Our leader has changed... Sothing major happened on Panlong Island."
Leng Yu's words startled Qin Tian, he recalled the news he received today.
Within the Dragon Clan's high ranks on Panlong Island, the Dragon Clan Crown Prince and Second Prince united with ministers to rebel against Long Tianwu, planning a coup.
But it was directly and forcefully suppressed by Long Tianwu. The Dragon Clan Crown Prince was deposed, along with the Second Prince, directly confined by Long Tianwu!
And the current Dragon King and Dragon Mother could only watch it happen, without any room to negotiate—
All of this indicates that the Dragon Clan's Princess Long Tianwu is about to completely take control of the Dragon Clan!
"Princess Long Tianwu is in power, right?" Qin Tian stared at Leng Yu.
Leng Yu nodded: "So, we who are under the Crown Prince might be purged."
"That terrifying?"
"Yes. Nowadays, that woman is purging the remnants of the Crown Prince and Second Prince's forces throughout the Dragon Clan, already capturing and killing several thousand officials and commanders. It's estimated that once she controls Panlong Island, she'll proceed to purge the intelligence networks concerning the Tianyuan Dynasty."
Leng Yu was worried.
Qin Tian comforted him: "Nothing to worry about. Previously, the Crown Prince was in charge of our line, now at worst we serve her, she wouldn't entirely exterminate small fries like us, right?"
Actually, while Qin Tian hadn't seen this woman who commands reverence in the Dragon Clan and instills fear in the East State, he roughly guessed Long Tianwu's personality.
This woman, though only in her early thirties, has deep scheming, a strong sense of the big picture, not the type to kill excessively over minute matters.
Qin Tian didn't believe this woman would completely obliterate the intelligence network painstakingly established by the Dragon Clan Crown Prince.
"But our East Capital City's person in charge has already been secretly detained back to Panlong Island by the envoy she sent, I'm worried..."
"Don't worry, won't happen."
"Worrying is useless, Bing He, I'm just reminding you to be cautious and ntally prepared."
...
After parting ways with Leng Yu, Qin Tian, too, fell into contemplation.
Not even a month had passed since the end of the East State war, Qin Tian didn't expect Long Tianwu to suppress the chaotic dostic situation so quickly.
This woman, how terrifying is she really!?
He's now sowhat concerned whether the East State war would break out again.
In the following days, Qin Tian closely monitored the developnts happening with the Dragon Clan, this day he routinely went to Ming Yue Tea House and saw Xu Junwei's signal to et.
That evening, at Ming Yue Tea House, Qin Tian t Xu Junwei.
"Great, you've done exceptionally well, Lonely Wolf, you're getting ever closer to the core of power. I've reported this matter to the upper levels, they're very satisfied with your work, specifically instructed to prioritize you, to protect you."
Upon arriving, Xu Junwei praised Qin Tian, then said: "Now, I need to tell you two things, issue a task."
Finally a task...
Qin Tian nodded: "Go ahead."
"The first thing, our previously missing two Long Yin agents in East Capital City seem to have surfaced."
With this statent, Qin Tian's eyes widened instantly.
"I don't know the specifics very well, I received it from Soul Suppressing Hall, reliability unknown. Iron Stone sent a eting signal wanting to connect with White Fox, White Fox didn't show."
"Soul Suppressing Hall is familiar with the common eting signals of Long Yin, they saw through it, intending to capture Iron Stone next ti he surfaces. But unfortunately, I don't know the specific location, don't know who Iron Stone is, nor do I know if this is a conspiracy deliberately released by Soul Suppressing Hall to lure us into appearing. So, I'm preparing to watch and wait."
Xu Junwei stared at Qin Tian, saying: "Rumor has it, this Iron Stone infiltrated the military, whether it's the East State Army or the City Guard Army, I'm not clear. Lonely Wolf, be cautious."
Qin Tian nodded: "Iron Stone and White Fox, I have been searching for them all along, don't worry, if there's a chance to confirm their identities and connect with them, I will."
"The second thing."
Xu Junwei stared at Qin Tian: "Did the City Lord Mansion gift you a maid?"
"Yes, her na is Yun Luo." Qin Tian roughly knew what Xu Junwei was about to say.
"This Yun Luo has been in the City Lord Mansion for years, should be their spy beside you, be careful of course, since she's with the City Lord Mansion, don't alert them unnecessarily."
Xu Junwei said: "It's not that the City Lord Mansion has discovered your identity, but they appreciate you, knowing you have a promising future, so they want to know which direction you're planning to develop, possibly recruiting you, or wanting you to be their undercover agent."
Qin Tian did an eye-roll, thinking to himself: "WTF, another undercover agent... Do I have a face ant for being an undercover agent?"
