Things had reached this point, and Chen Changan began to think seriously.
What was the Seven Profound Auction House's purpose?
If they really had hunted down the Qilin back then, why had they ultimately put the two Qilin up for auction?
That made little sense.
And why was the Heaven Organization so friendly toward the Qilin? Could they really have no ulterior motives?
Most importantly, was what he'd said true or false? Who was the real traitor?
"It seems your Heaven Organization treats the Qilin fairly well."
"Even though they're already dead, you're still willing to preserve their bodies."
"After all, every part of a Qilin is a treasure. It's hard not to be tempted." Chen Changan smiled faintly.
"You're right. Every part of a Qilin is a treasure, but surely one shouldn't be driven solely by profit?"
"Our Heaven Organization may not be that noble, but we've always respected the Kirin Race."
"Though the Kirin Race's whereabouts are now unknown, back when they were in the Longevity Realm, they had an excellent reputation and were widely respected."
"The Kirin Race never bullied the weak, nor did they plunder or slaughter."
"But plenty of people wouldn't let that stop their greed."
"Alas, perhaps the Kirin Race disappeared because they didn't want to face these pointless conflicts."
Was it simply respect?
The Heaven Organization surely hadn't had any dealings with the Kirin Race. Had they really come to respect them based on their reputation alone?
"There's something I'm curious about. Why are so many people in the Longevity Realm looking for the Kirin Race?"
"And why did the Seven Profound Auction House hunt them down?"
"Were they trying to force them to reveal the whereabouts of the Kirin Race?" Chen Changan asked with a frown.
"I'm not entirely sure about that.
