Chapter 2348 Leaking Secrets
The warm breeze blows across the lotus pond, bringing bursts of fragrance into the waterside pavilion.
In the waterside pavilion, Qin Sang sat opposite Yu Yunyi and Yu Ling, sipping tea, admiring the scenery, and having a pleasant conversation.
“Good tea!”
Qin Sang picked up the jade cup, the tea mist curled up, as gorgeous as the sunset. He took a sip, closed his eyes and savored it, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
This is not a compliment. After Qin Sang took the spiritual tea, he felt refreshed even with his cultivation level.
“This kind of red mist tea can only be picked once every hundred years, and the time coincides with the great sacrifice to heaven and earth, so it is regarded as a sacrifice, one of the three major sacrifices of our Tianyu clan. Although I am the younger brother of the witch, I can only get a small amount of red mist tea each time. I only take it out when entertaining distinguished guests like Elder Qin,” Yu Yunyi drank a glass with an intoxicated expression.
Yu Ling looked at the two people pretending to be nice and curled her lips. "I stole a box from my father's house. If Elder Qin likes it, I will have someone bring it to Elder Qin's house."
Yu Yunyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and pointed at Yu Ling, "You little girl, you even dared to steal Hongai tea. Let big brother know and see how he teaches you a lesson."
"Daddy is the one who can't bear to part with it! Besides, as the saying goes, a sword is given to a hero. Knowing that I gave the Red Ai Tea to Elder Qin, Daddy would be so happy that he wouldn't even have time to scold me."
Yu Ling looked very proud and said to Qin Sang, "Elder Qin, don't you think so?"
Qin Sang laughed, "No merit, no reward. Qin dare not accept this great gift."
These words made Yu Ling very dissatisfied. She said angrily: "If Elder Qin hadn't taken my token away, I would have died in the insect tomb. How can it be called a waste? Does Elder Qin think that I am a lowly person and insignificant?"
This woman had a sharp tongue, and Qin Sang had experienced it before. He quickly changed the subject and asked Yu Yunyi, "How did you rescue Miss Yu?"
Yu Ling snorted and let Qin Sang go.
Yu Yunyi said: "This girl is lucky, mostly due to herself. We ran into her not long after we entered the insect tomb."
"Elder Qin, do you have a feeling that the insect tomb is alive?"
Yu Ling hesitated for a moment. "I always feel that it's not that I'm so lucky, but that the Insect Tomb let me out. The things we encountered in the Insect Tomb, what we saw and heard, didn't seem to be natural..."
Hearing Yu Ling's guess, Yu Yunyi's eyes flickered slightly and he looked at her with a smile.
Qin Sang cooperated with her thoughtful expression, thinking to himself that this woman was quite perceptive, and there was indeed a mastermind behind the scenes, manipulating them in the Insect Tomb. Perhaps because Yu Ling was not a descendant of Shaohao, the Void Butterfly Net showed some leniency and did not embarrass her.
I just don’t know if the Wood Tribe and the Gold Tribe have collided, or if the two tribes have reached some kind of agreement.
Qin Sang observed Yu Yunyi calmly and continued to listen to Yu Ling's story about her experience in the insect tomb, preparing for the next trip to the insect tomb.
At that time, Qin Sang was swept away by the stream of light. Yu Ling guessed that it was the variable caused by killing the ancient insect's shadow, but Bai Xianzi and others were nearby, so she didn't dare to stay and could only leave the area where the ancient insect's shadow was left alone.
The subsequent journey went much smoother than she had expected. Although she encountered several crises, she had plenty of spiritual medicine on her and her injured spiritual insects could recover quickly.
The insect tomb is vast and boundless. Without any guidance, Yu Ling doesn't know which direction the exit is. She can only choose one direction and keep going. Unexpectedly, her bet turned out to be right, and she successfully meets up with Yu Yunyi and others.
Thinking about it now, my luck was really too good. Even Yu Ling himself found it unbelievable.
"Elder Qin was swept away by the light, how did he escape in the end? Did he complete some kind of trial in the Insect Tomb?" Yu Ling was also very curious about Qin Sang's experience.
The light flow should be a test set by the Void Butterfly for the Tianmu Butterfly. Since the Tianmu Butterfly chose Qin Sang, the unknown treasure will no longer be within the reach of the Tianmu Butterfly, so there is no need for Qin Sang to continue keeping this secret.
After a conversation, both of them sighed. Yu Ling said solemnly, "Elder Qin should still remember my proposal in the Insect Tomb. I wonder what you think about it?"
Yu Yunyi interrupted, "Has Elder Qin found out the reason for the decline of the Hao family?"
"During this period, I have troubled several Taoist friends from the Dongyang clan to ask the Taihao clan for ancient books many times. Although I still don't know the ins and outs of it, I have found out many secrets. We, the descendants, are finally no longer completely ignorant of the Haobo clan and our ancestors..."
Qin Sang bowed to the sky, his face full of awe.
Yu Yunyi said in a deep voice: "We cannot empathize with Elder Qin's feelings, but when we think about what our Wu Clan has experienced since ancient times, we have lost too much glory, heritage, and even our clan. Isn't the Haobo Clan a microcosm of the Wu Clan? As descendants of the Wood Clan, Elder Qin wants to revive the Haobo Clan, and we, the Tianyu Clan, have an obligation to do the same!"
"This……"
Qin Sang pretended to be hesitant.
Yu Yunyi took out a jade slip from his sleeve and changed his tone, "My eldest brother was busy with trivial matters, but he was always thinking about Elder Qin. He ordered us to investigate in detail. Ling'er even visited each clan in person and finally found some valuable information..."
Qin Sang took the jade slip. Although he no longer cared about the Hao Bo family, he still read it carefully. After a moment, he closed the book and sighed, "Are we the only descendants of the Hao Bo family left?"
In addition to those large clans, the Wu clan also has many small clans, many of which do not know who their ancestors are.
"In ancient times, our ancestors experienced a series of wars and were forced to migrate many times. The territory of the Haobo clan is probably no longer within the territory of the Wu clan. It is almost impossible for Elder Qin to find his homeland, but..."
Yu Yunyi changed his tone and said, "If you want to revive the Haobo clan, you must first have a territory. I wonder if Elder Qin has a place you like? If not, our Tianyu clan happens to have an enclave, which is quite rich. It is usually out of reach and poorly managed, so it might as well be given to Elder Qin."
"Is this true?"
Qin Sang stood up suddenly, with a look of surprise and joy on his face, then sat down again heavily, hesitating.
"What is Elder Qin worried about?" Yu Yunyi asked knowingly.
Qin Sang's lips moved and he sighed, "Qin and Daoist Fellow Shechen have already made an agreement. If I defect to the Mu Clan, I don't know how to explain it to my junior brother and Daoist Fellow Shechen."
"Elder Qin, don't you understand? Restoring the ancient five clan system is the general trend. Even if Elder Qin keeps his promise, the blood of the Wood Clan flows in his body. Those descendants of Zhurong may not understand Elder Qin's good intentions. They will only treat Elder Qin as an outsider and be on guard against you!" Yu Yunyi advised earnestly, "Make a decision when necessary!"
Qin Sang was still hesitant, and stood up and said, "Let me think about it carefully, and I will come to bother you two again in the future..."
"At your service at any time!"
Yu Yunyi and Yu Ling stood up and escorted Qin Sang out of the house.
Watching Qin Sang fleeing in a flash, Yu Ling frowned and said, "I thought he was a hero, why is he so indecisive?"
……
After leaving the two people's sight, Qin Sang's expression returned to normal. After a little thought, he went straight into the Dongyang clan's residence.
Soon after returning to the room, the ban was triggered and a guest came to visit.
Qin Sang had expected this and went out to greet him in person. When he saw it was Jiumie, he smiled and invited him in.
"Elder Qin just went to visit the Tianyu clan again?" Jiumie sat down and went straight to the point.
Qin Sang nodded and admitted frankly, "Qin and Fellow Daoist Yu Yunyi get along quite well, and we always have a good chat every time we visit."
During this period, Qin Sang often visited Yu Yunyi, just to create the illusion that he and Tianyu were very close in front of Dongyang clan. Yu Yunyi wanted nothing more than to accept this and would not take the initiative to refute the rumor.
A trace of worry flashed across Jiumie's eyes, "Does Elder Qin know what Yu Yunyi and Tianyu are planning?"
"Fellow Daoist Yu has said several times that he wants to persuade Qin to join the Wood Clan, claiming that Hao Bo is a descendant of Ju Mang..."
Qin Sang looked disapproving.
Jiumie said bitterly, "That's right! They thought that Elder Qin was a descendant of Hao Bo, so they tried to win over Elder Qin. Has Elder Qin ever thought about what the consequences would be if they knew Elder Qin's true identity?"
"With Fellow Daoist She's secret technique covering it up, how could it be exposed if Qin didn't tell anyone himself? Would you leak it out on purpose?" Qin Sang's face darkened.
"We certainly won't reveal Elder Qin's identity!"
Jiumie denied it repeatedly, "But there are countless strange magical powers and treasures in the world, and there is no magic that is absolutely infallible..."
After a pause, Jiu Mie suddenly stood up and asked in surprise: "Are you really tempted?"
Qin Sang did not comment, but asked: "Since the Haobo clan is the descendant of Ju Mang, it is the best fate for them to follow the Tianyu clan. You can't deny this, fellow Taoist? As for Qin, how about continuing to maintain the alliance with your Dongyang clan in private and helping each other?"
"How can this be done!"
Jiumie shouted.
Qin Sang wanted to have the best of both worlds, but the infighting among the five tribes was becoming increasingly fierce, and no one could play both sides. If Qin Sang was a Wu clan cultivator, it might be possible to negotiate, but he was a foreigner. Once his identity was exposed, the consequences would be disastrous, and the Dongyang clan would also be implicated.
Jiu Mie had a headache and felt very regretful. He should not have asked him to escort the witch. It is easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away. This guy is clearly a disaster, but a disaster that the Dongyang clan cannot afford to offend.
With a long sigh, Jiumie said helplessly: "This is not something I can decide. You should talk to Master Wuzhu directly."
After saying this, he summoned a spirit insect, which revealed the shadow of Shechen.
It was obvious that She Chen had been waiting for him for a long time. Jiumie told She Chen the whole story and then bowed and left the house.
She Chen did not question Qin Sang directly, but asked curiously: "How did Elder Qin get to know Yu Yunyi?"
"This... involves some secrets. Qin promised Fellow Daoist Yu to keep it a secret for them," Qin Sang said apologetically.
"Is it?"
She Chen's eyes flickered, and he didn't investigate further. "What conditions did Tian Yu offer to make Elder Qin interested? You can tell me, right?"
"Fellow Daoist Yu promised to give me a piece of enclave as the territory of the Hao Bo family," Qin Sang did not hide it.
"Could it be that enclave? It really is a big deal!"
She Chen sighed, "But Elder Qin is worth it. Yu Yunyi has a great vision, but unfortunately he miscalculated Elder Qin's identity."
He thought to himself that it was no wonder that Qin Sang was tempted. Today, the Wu Clan's territory was far smaller than that of the human and demon clans, and had long been divided up among the major clans. If Hao Bo's clan was established outside the Wu Clan's territory, the risk would be much greater.
Qin Sang said in a deep voice, "Is there really no room for compromise?"
"In my opinion, I don't want to be an enemy of Elder Qin! But has Elder Qin ever thought that the Tianyu clan is one of the strongest clans, and may even give birth to a new Green Emperor. How dare the Dongyang clan be compared with the Tianyu clan? Once there is a mistake, it will not be something that our small Dongyang clan can bear. If Elder Qin insists on doing it his own way, I cannot stop him, and I will not disclose Elder Qin's identity, but I must report the matter to the Huozheng clan for the decision..."
She Chen said resolutely.
The Wu Clan does not have a clear distinction between the upper clan and the lower clan like the alien clan, but there are secretly factions and subordinates among the clans.
The Huozheng clan is one of the clans that is qualified to compete for the position of Red Emperor, and its strength is comparable to that of the Tianyu clan. The Dongyang clan is close to the Huozheng clan, but has not yet surrendered, and still lacks some bargaining chips.
When Qin Sang heard this, his eyebrows twisted into a "川" shape.
At this time, She Chen's tone slowed down, and he said, "There is another way to have the best of both worlds. I will also try to find a piece of territory for Elder Qin. Even if it is not as good as that enclave, it can still be used to temporarily survive."
"I wonder what price Qin will have to pay?" Qin Sang said coldly.
"The Tianyu clan's enclave won't be given to Elder Qin for nothing, right?" She Chen smiled. "If Elder Qin agrees to work for my Fire Clan, I can immediately persuade the Huozheng clan to set aside a piece of precious land for him!"
Qin Sang's face changed constantly, and he said angrily: "Forget it! I am a human cultivator, why should I get involved in the internal fighting of your Wu clan! Send Wu Zhao and the others here, I will settle them down, leave the Wu clan immediately, and never interfere again. In addition, I am willing to exchange a secret for a piece of territory, it doesn't have to be too big, nor does it have to be too rich, it's best to be far away from the vortex of the five clans' fighting, so that they can recuperate!"
She Chen was moved and said impatiently: "Those famous barren places also have 'oases' inside, but they are rarely known and controlled by those top clans. As long as the secret is big enough, I can convince Huo Zheng to give one to Hao Bo!"
"You send them here first. Qin guarantees that it must be a big secret that can attract Huo Zheng's interest," Qin Sang said stubbornly.
She Chen stared at Qin Sang for a long time, "Okay!"
Not long after, Wu Zhao and Shi Liu were sent to the vicinity of Dengbao Mountain.
Qin Sang and Jiumie went down the mountain without alerting anyone else, and Yu Yunyi and others were kept in the dark.
There were two people escorting Wu Zhao and Shi Liu, one was an elder of the Dongyang clan, and the other was a stranger with red hair, who was actually a top master in the late stage of the Refined Void Realm.
"This is Elder Zhu Yan of the Huozheng Clan..."
Jiumie whispered.
Zhu Yan brought Wu Zhao and the other man to Qin Sang, and stared at Qin Sang with his wide eyes.
Qin Sang's lips moved slightly, and he said something in a voice transmission. Zhu Yan's face changed immediately. He threw a fire talisman to Qin Sang and shouted, "If you dare to lie, Huo Zheng will be able to take back this territory and make Hao Bo disappear from the world!"
At the beginning, Qin Sang deliberately swore an oath with Yu Ling about his inner demon. Yu Ling had no ability to refuse, so there was no pressure for him to leak the secret now.
“If you send someone to take a look, you will know that I have no intention of becoming an enemy of the Huo Zheng clan,” Qin Sang said calmly.
After saying that, he nodded to Jiumie, and left with Wuzhao and the other two.
