Chapter 1003 Plan!
Was there anyone who understands his body better than him?
Xia Qingyi smiled brightly. Third Elder and Deacon Lin gritted their teeth angrily. If the knife was stabbed an inch further to the right, Xia Qingyi would be dead.
What a ruthless person! Third Elder gain a new opinion of the obedient and efficient Xia Qingyi. However, he didn’t understand why Xia Qingyi acknowledged their enemy as his master. He grew up in the Soul Society and was groomed by them personally. If he was controlled by some poison, he could have secretly reported to them. Was it something the Soul Society couldn’t handle?
Third Elder didn’t believe that Xia Qingyi was forced under their enemy because of a hostage in the person’s hand, as his family was fully controlled by the Soul Society. What made Xia Qingyi abandon his family to follow the other party?
Third Elder and Deacon Li couldn’t understand what was happening. However, there was no time to solve this query. They exchanged glances with one another and attacked Ling Lan simultaneously.
The two people wanted to activate their domain but they quickly realized they couldn’t. Not only that, they also felt tired.
“d.a.m.n it, what did you do to us?” Third Elder glared at Xia Qingyi. Only he was able to do something to them to make them tired.
“I just added something in your food,” Xia Qingyi replied indifferently.
Ling Lan smiled. “According to our doctor, the effects should be happening soon.”
It was obvious what had happened. They must have been given strong anesthesia. This anesthesia was odorless and tasteless so they didn’t notice it.
“Despicable!” Deacon Lin shouted. He couldn’t withstand the effects of the agent anymore and fell on the table.
Third Elder was more powerful than Deacon Lin so he was able to stay awake longer. He stared at Xia Qingyi and asked, “Why?” Even if he had to die, he must understand why he died.
Xia Qingyi smiled. “I don’t want to die. Hence, Third Elder and Deacon Lin have to suffer in my place.”
Third Elder wasn’t satisfied with this answer but he didn’t have the chance to probe further.
Bang! Third Elder fell on the table too.
Ling Lan turned and looked at Xia Qingyi. Her gentle aura had disappeared. It was replaced by an icy force of presence. She said seriously, “What do you think honestly?”
Cold sweat appeared on Xia Qingyi’s forehead. He felt that if his answer wasn’t satisfactory, that scary thing in his mindscape would devour him.
Xia Qingyi was afraid but as a hero of his era, he decided to cooperate with the man in the mask instantly when he knew that he was the person who was controlling him back in the hall. He also allowed the masked man to kill Hades and leave. However, the appearance of Ling Lan also forced out the ambition hidden in his heart.
At that time, he was the only person who came back alive. Although he escaped the questioning of the Soul Society, he was exiled to the Chaotic Lands to open a new market for the Soul Society. The Soul Society also sent Third Elder and Deacon Lin to supervise him. Xia Qingyi pretended to be obedient but deep inside, he wanted to take complete control of the Chaotic Lands. He didn’t want to be a proxy person-in-charge.
But, he knew that with his own ability, he wasn’t able to touch Third Elder and Deacon Lin’s positions. Thus, he hid his ambition perfectly until Ling Lan appeared.
He wiped the sweat off his forehead and answered respectfully, “Master, since the last time we met, I was demoted due to my mistakes in command. If I want to return to the Soul Society, I must take over the Chaotic Lands from them. At the same time…” Xia Qingyi turned to look at the two people lying on the table. “I need their recommendation.”
“So you want them to become your partners.” That was why he came to ask if she was able to give him some agent and even took the effort to ask if she was able to come personally.
Xia Qingyi smiled. “Yes!” A clever master made him stressed but it made him feel at ease too. His master wouldn’t die easily and that would mean he wouldn’t die easily too.
Xia Qingyi knew that if anything happened to his master, the thing in his mindscape would devour him instantly. The time he spent with it made him understand that his master mustn’t die. This was why he cooperated with Ling Lan. He did think of killing this person who threatened his life before but he couldn’t do anything about it now.
Ling Lan looked at Xia Qingyi intently. She remembered that he was a righteous young man the last time they faced each other. She wondered if Little Blossom’s replica had the ability to lead someone astray.
However, as someone who was able to climb to a high position in the Soul Society, Xia Qingyi was definitely not as pure and kind as he appeared to be.
At first, Ling Lan planned to let Xia Qingyi be her spy in the Soul Society because the Soul Society had the material that she needed to make a body for Little Four. But, after Liu Furong gave her the information about the mine, Soul Society’s importance in her mind drop tremendously.
Ling Lan tapped the table lightly. She started thinking if she should fulfill Xia Qingyi’s wish.
Xia Qingyi got nervous when Ling Lan was pondering. He continued, “With the help from Third Elder and Deacon Lin, the Chaotic Lands can still pretend to be controlled by the three kings.”
“Oh? What plans do you have?” Ling Lan was interested.
“Soul Society will control most of the important powers within the Chaotic Lands by pretending to work with Hades.” Xia Qingyi told her about the Soul Society’s plan. “You can pretend to be Frost Monarch while Third Elder and Deacon Lin can pretend to be Hades and Ninja.”
“If Third Elder and Deacon Lin become your men, you’ll be able to rule over the Chaotic Lands.” Xia Qingyi told Ling Lan his plan. He was only able to become the second most powerful person in this place if his master became the king.
Ling Lan thought the necessity of having a base to herself in case she was not able to stay in the Federation anymore so Xia Qingyi’s plan was very beneficial to her. Hence, she nodded. “Let’s follow your plan.”
Xia Qingyi was elated. “Thank you for your trust.”
Since Ling Lan had agreed to follow Xia Qingyi’s plan, there was no time to waste. She asked Little Blossom to make two replicas of himself. The two replicas entered Third Elder and Deacon Lin’s mindscape.
One hour later, Third Elder and Deacon Lin woke up. They remembered what had happened before they fainted and jumped up immediately. They then saw Ling Lan and Xia Qingyi smiling at them.
