Chapter 834: Chapter 72 Dark Currents_2
“No way,” Ying Jie found it hard to believe, his eyes trembling violently, “The road from Royal City to Blood Divine Ridge has been cleared countless tis and is extrely safe. There’s no presence of powerful magical beasts.”
“It might not be a beast, it could also be a person.” Ying Lie’s eyes had a trace of gloom.
“In the Burning Moon Domain, who would dare to make a move against us?” Ying Jie rasped.
In the Burning Moon Domain, the War Demon Bloodline is supre, and the number of pureblood War Demons is scarce, so every pureblood War Demon holds an unparalleled status.
If sothing happens to a pureblood War Demon, regardless of which branch the War Demon belongs to, all must contribute to the investigation and revenge.
This is the unspoken rule of the Burning Moon Domain.
The dignity of the War Demons is inviolable!
This is also why, even though Shi Wu Demon Venerable will soon perish, their Shi Wu branch can continue to survive.
The War Demon Bloodline is their protection talisman.
Internal strife aside, the stance of the War Demon Clan regarding external matters is consistent.
The War Demon blood flowing in their veins is undying; any Demon Race coveting the resources of their Shi Wu branch can compete and suppress them, but absolutely cannot kill them.
Otherwise, it ans standing against the entire War Demon Clan.
This tacit understanding is what has kept the War Demon Clan’s position unwavering despite their limited numbers over so many years of changes.
“That’s true, but nothing can be taken for granted. There have indeed been cases of pureblood War Demons being assassinated in history.”
Without the slightest ripple on his face, Ying Lie said nonchalantly, “Send soone to investigate the situation.”
“Yes, Father,” Ying Jie stiffened all over and respectfully said, “Then I will take my leave.”
“Mm.” Ying Lie waved his hand lightly in response.
After Ying Jie left, Ying Lie frowned slightly and rubbed his temples.
Although the investigation results were not out yet, he had an inexplicable hunch that sothing had indeed happened to Ying Jun.
….
In Mingyue Mansion.
Whispers of tea aroma drifted, soul-soothing, and just the scent made one feel light and ethereal.
Lu Qingshan glanced at the tea in his cup, his eyes showing a strange color.
The tea was as crimson as blood, yet not turbid, but crystal clear like a gemstone.
Wisps of mist floated in the tea, ethereal and dreamy, containing a peculiar force.
This was Dragon Blood Tea.
Lu Qingshan took a gentle sip of the Dragon Blood Tea; his mouth filled with fragrance. Suddenly, heaven and earth blurred, and his mind beca incomparably clear and serene.
Due to the high concentration of being in the Demon Domain, the fatigue brought by prolonged focus faded at this mont.
His state of mind, thanks to the ingestion of Dragon Blood Tea, beca much more peaceful and clear.
“Good tea.” Lu Qingshan felt as if he had rested for a long ti, feeling joyful and closed his eyes slightly in praise.
Ying Mingyue was also holding a jade cup, sipping tea in small sips.
She opened her mouth slightly, her cherry lips red as if she wanted to say sothing, but after several attempts, she closed her mouth again.
“You didn’t really call here just for tea, did you?” Lu Qingshan asked leisurely.
“Why not?” Ying Mingyue, for so reason, unconsciously held back her original words when asked by Lu Qingshan, and instead raised her head stubbornly.
“Of course you can,” Lu Qingshan didn’t mind, “It’s an honor to be invited by Miss Mingyue for tea.”
“My face is not as important as Ying Jun’s.” Ying Mingyue hid her odd expression and spoke blandly.
But the jealousy in her words was evident to everyone.
“What are you talking about? How can my second nephew compare to my future wife?” Lu Qingshan chuckled.
Ying Mingyue’s body trembled, knowing that Lu Qingshan had seen through her intent. Her ears turned lightly red.
Yet she was still unwilling to concede verbally, “It’s just a fake marriage, I don’t care about that.”
She forcefully explained, “You promised to cooperate with , to borrow my Blood Spirit Crystals, and in return, help deal with Hong Lie Demon Lord in the future. But you turned to see Ying Jun afterward; I worry about your commitnt.”
“Oh, that,” Lu Qingshan put down his teacup, paused for a mont, and suddenly said, “Ying Jun’s offer wasn’t just to lend the Blood Spirit Crystals, but to give them to directly, and not just three pieces.”
Ying Mingyue shuddered at his words.
Indeed…
She bit her lip, pretending to be calm, “That’s very generous of him, his offer is beyond what I can give.”
Her heart chilled slightly and felt a bit hopeless.
Compared to Hong Lie Demon Lord, she had no advantages.
“It’s reasonable for ‘Qing Ge’ to choose Hong Lie Demon Lord.”
But knowing the reasoning did not an she could accept it calmly.
Ying Mingyue’s eyes slightly reddened unknowingly at this mont.
“However,” Lu Qingshan continued at this mont, “I refused him.”
“What?!”
This sudden turn of events caught Ying Mingyue off guard.
She opened her mouth wide, revealing her white teeth, and stared blankly at Lu Qingshan.
“You refused his offer?” She was a bit dazed.
“Why?”
Lu Qingshan nodded affirmatively, “His offer was good, but he ca late; I’ve already agreed to work with you, so I can’t break my word.”
“Besides, as your future husband, I should naturally stand by your side.” He shalessly lied with a straight face.
Ying Mingyue stood rooted in place, her emotions extrely complex.
She really couldn’t believe that in the face of such great benefits, Lu Qingshan could decisively refuse.
