522: Chapter 163 Inspector Farland (Part 1)_1 522: Chapter 163 Inspector Farland (Part 1)_1 Hearing Ye Yinzhu so readily agree to her terms, Nina immediately smiled, “Good grandson.
Now I truly believe in your sincerity.
Strive to build your Qin City.
For certain equipment, as long as Milan is affluent, I might even be able to help you in secret.
Right now, the most important thing for you is to consider how you will deal with Faran once it ends its closing period in ten years.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation can be maintained for six years, and after six years, you can even repeat it to prolong this period.
But when Faran ends its closing period, they will not overlook the Eastern Dragon Empire and your Qin City.
Whether you can contend with Faran in ten years’ time will depend on your development.
From my perspective, I wish Milan could forever be allied with Qin City.
At least in my view, Qin City is far better than kingdoms like Flore.”
“Faran.” Upon hearing these two words, a stronger light appeared in Ye Yinzhu’s eyes.
He knew, probably no one was optimistic about the future of Qin City.
Although ten years was not short, could Qin City really develop the power to contend with Faran?
This was almost impossible.
The seven Tower Masters of Faran’s Seventh Tower all possessed Sub-God rank power!
Faran’s Twelve Holy Knight Legions were even capable of sweeping across the Ryuzakinus Continent.
But Ye Yinzhu wouldn’t give in; he knew he wasn’t entirely without a chance.
The cold light in his eyes slowly retreated, and a slight smile reappeared on Ye Yinzhu’s face as he took the initiative to hold Nina’s hand, “Grandma, now that we’ve finished discussing serious matters, isn’t it time for you to e clean?
You’ve kept me in the dark quite badly!”
Nina replied with a smile, “Are you talking about my strength?
Not only did you not know, even Qin Shang was unaware of my true strength.
If it weren’t for the Six Paths of Reincarnation, I would probably have continued to hide it.”
Ye Yinzhu said, “It’s not just about your strength.
I also want to hear the story between you and Grandpa Qin.
Since you loved each other, why couldn’t you be together in the first place?”
Nina sighed and said, “Many things aren’t up to us.
It’s not always possible for people in love to be together.
Along with love, there are many other things we can’t control, and even with great strength, there’s no avoiding these involuntary troubles.”
Standing to the side, Sura nodded gently, as if agreeing with Nina’s words, but both Ye Yinzhu and Qin Shang’s attention was focused on Nina and they did not notice Sura’s expression.
Seemingly lost in memories, Nina slowly said, “I’m sixty-nine this year, and your Grandpa Qin is seventy-six.
The story starts sixty years ago.
Before I tell this story, let me first reveal my other identity.
Now there’s nothing left to hide.
Faran has seven towers, and to the outside world, the Seven Tower Masters are the rulers of Faran.
But what they don’t realize is that the true rulers of Faran consist of eight individuals.
Besides the Seven Tower Masters, there’s also an Inspector whose status is equivalent to that of the Tower Masters.
And this Inspector also holds another position, that of Captain of Faran’s Twelve Legions of Holy Paladins, nominally in mand of all of Faran’s armed forces, apart from the mages.
I am this generation’s Inspector Farland.”
“What?” Ye Yinzhu stared at Nina in astonishment, and even Sura was shocked.
Only Qin Shang managed to maintain his posure for the time being.
Initially, Ye Yinzhu thought there were Sub-God rank powerhouses outside of Faran after witnessing Nina’s strength, but it now appeared that Nina was also from Faran, and more so, she was the elevated Inspector.
For a moment, countless questions arose in his mind.
“You don’t need to ask anything; I’ll tell you slowly.
When I was very young, I met my teacher, the previous Inspector of Faran, the Captain of Faran’s Twelve Holy Paladin Legions.
My master was very kind to me.
I was a carefree princess in the Imperial Palace until his arrival, which introduced me to the true essence of martial skill.
When I was nine years old, believing I had a solid foundation, my master took me back to Faran for ten years of closed-door cultivation.
Time flew by in the blink of an eye, and by the time I left Faran, I was already nineteen.
My master ordered me to return to the Milan Empire and begin training abroad from there.
Back then, I didn’t possess the strength I have now, I was even inferior pared to you.
You are a true genius.
You’ve also been to Faran, so you should know how cultivation in Faran can produce results in half the time for mages.
Similarly, training in some special places in Faran has great benefits for samurai as well.”
Moved by this, Ye Yinzhu looked at Nina and then Qin Shang, “You met Grandpa Qin during that time, right?”
Nina’s face flushed slightly as she glanced at Qin Shang beside her, “Yes, it was then I met him.
At that time, he was like a traveling poet, dressed in white and carrying an Ancient Zither…,” she said, her voice trailing off shyly.
Qin Shang chuckled and said, “Your Grandpa Qin was quite handsome when he was young.
You don’t need to hear about how we got together.
It was simply that we took a liking to each other and fell in love.
At that time, neither of us knew the other’s identity, and I certainly had no idea of Nina’s hidden Faran identity.”
Listening to Qin Shang’s words, Nina seemed to return to those days, her eyes being dreamy as she said, “It was the happiest time of my life.
It lasted about a year, during which Qin Shang acpanied me back to Milan City.
I didn’t reveal my identity in Milan to him.
Every day he played the zither for me, and I also came to truly love music because of him, choosing a flute that plemented the zither as my instrument.
We played the flute and zither together every day, watched sunrises and sunsets, and visited every scenic spot around Milan City.
I found myself deeply in love with him.
Finally, one day I couldn’t hold back and told him my identity in Milan.
But the very next day, he left, only leaving behind a letter for me.”
Nina glared viciously at Qin Shang, pinching him hard with her right hand.
Qin Shang’s expression instantly turned awkward, but in front of Ye Yinzhu and Sura, he tried to maintain his dignity, enduring the pain without crying out.
“That old bastard wrote in his letter that he was just a moner and I was the Princess of Milan.
Though he loved me, he said he was not worthy of me, that we were not from the same world and such nonsense.
I almost died of anger reading his leaving note.
Do you think my love for him would change because of our difference in status?”
As she spoke, Nina stared fiercely at Qin Shang, her eyes flashing with cold light as she voiced the anguish in her heart.
Qin Shang said with a wry smile, “You should know by now, the discrepancy in our status that I spoke of back then was just an excuse.
I belong to the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans, and you are the Princess of Milan Empire.
After all, the Milan Empire was a product of the division of the West Dragon Empire.
Being with you, as Zither Sect’s Sect Master, how would I explain it to the other sects and the Supreme Elders?
I had no other choice, do you think it was easy for me to leave in the first place?”
Slightly softening her expression, Nina said, “If you had left then and never appeared before me again, maybe we could have just let it pass.
After all, time can dilute many things.
At least then, our love for each other was not yet deep enough to carve into our bones.”
Qin Shang nodded, “Yes!
It was because I realized this that I made up my mind that a short pain was better than a long one, and decided to sever our emotional ties.
But who knew that so much would happen afterwards.”
Unable to resist, Ye Yinzhu asked, “What happened then?”
Nina replied, “As time went on, the date I had agreed with my teacher to return to Faran was approaching.
So I decided to travel to various kingdoms on the continent, partly to broaden my horizons and partly to get over this faithless man as soon as possible.
Leaving from Milan City, my first stop was the Ascoli Kingdom.
Perhaps it really was fate that tied us together.
Just three days after I arrived in Ascoli Kingdom, I saw him again, saw this old bastard.”
“Ah?” Ye Yinzhu was stunned and looked at Qin Shang and Nina, at a loss for words.
The relationship between the two was really plex.
Qin Shang bowed his head in silence, seemingly acknowledging his wrongdoing towards Nina.
Nina continued, “This time, I saw Qin Shang severely injured.
Before I met him, I had thought of many ways to take revenge on him, vowing to give up my love for him.
Such a coward, who chooses to give up in the face of difficulty, wasn’t worth my love.
I’ve always been tough.
But when I saw him being attacked by a crowd, lying in a pool of blood, him still exuding elegance even at death’s door, and saw the broken Ancient Zither, my heart melted.”
“Nina, I’m sorry,” Qin Shang sighed deeply, his voice starting to tremble with emotion.
Nina looked at the deep remorse in Qin Shang’s eyes and gently shook her head, “I’m not bringing this up to blame you again.
Everything is in the past now, and we have finally managed to let go of everything and be together.
I’m telling you this because I still have a secret to reveal.
Keep listening.”
Qin Shang nodded somewhat blankly.
Nina said, “I saved Qin Shang, and at that time, I temporarily rented a house in a small village near the capital of Ascoli to stay in.
He was seriously injured; even the best healers with Light attribute magic couldn’t heal his wounds.
He could only rely on his own physical condition for slow recovery.
When he woke up from his a ten days later, he actually refused treatment upon seeing that his savior was me.
It took a lot of persuasion to convince him.
It was as if he was the one who had been hurt by his own abrupt departure.
If it weren’t for his injuries at that time, I would have really wanted to walk away.”
