Destroying You Requires Only a Single Sentence
"Thoughts?" Yun Qingyao tilted her head, a gesture that, while somewhat human, seemed rather awkward on her. "Is this an order?"
"But they all say I can't obey orders."
Qin Wangchuan chuckled and shook his head, "Following orders isn't always a bad thing."
He said no more, having said all he needed to say.
The Yun Clan only asked him to look after things a little; they didn't ask him to be their life mentor.
That's enough.
Yun Qingyao did not speak again.
She simply stared at Qin Wangchuan with those clear yet empty eyes, as if trying to imprint his words into that blank space.
His face remained expressionless.
But that focused gaze itself seems to convey a kind of silent exploration.
Ye Jianwei waited quietly to the side, lost in thought.
'Born ruthless, its body like solid ice... However, if Young Master were to make a move, perhaps he could truly melt the ice into water and bring it into his possession.'
As a proper maid, she naturally hopes for the Young Master's happiness.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Long Yue returned, holding Dragon Scale's small hand.
Dragon Scale was still wearing that light blue ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), only her hair was a little dusty, and her small face was expressionless, but her Golden Eyes showed a hint of excitement at seeing Qin Wangchuan.
Long Yue resumed her usual aloof and dignified demeanor, but a fleeting tenderness crossed her eyes when she looked at Dragon Scale.
"Hug."
Dragon Scale walked up to Qin Wangchuan, tilted her head up, and spoke in a soft, sweet voice that carried an air of undeniable authority.
Qin Wangchuan looked down at her. "Did you find anything?"
Dragon Scale shook her head, then pressed her forehead against the back of his hand and gently rubbed it.
Qin Wangchuan understood.
He raised his hand and placed it on the top of the girl's head, his palm gently stroking along the strands of hair.
But Dragon Scale was still not satisfied, and with a little force, she pushed her forehead into his palm again.
Qin Wangchuan understood this time.
So, it turns out they wanted to touch the dragon's horns.
He raised his hand, his fingertips touching her dragon horns.
Dragon Scale's eyelashes trembled slightly, her pupils became slightly unfocused, and she leaned softly closer, her breathing becoming heavier.
Then--
Completely satisfied.
She didn't even want a hug anymore; instead, she transformed into Dragon Pattern and landed back on his robes.
This scene, no matter how many times Long Yue saw it, always felt peculiar.
The fusion of human and dragon—what kind of Divine Ability is this?
'What if I could do that too?'
The bold idea subconsciously popped into Long Yue's mind, then she shook her head and took a step forward.
I will give a full report on my encounter with a Rogue Cultivator who has his eye on Dragon Scale, and how I took action against him.
Qin Wangchuan listened but didn't pay it any mind.
With the opening of the Ancient Dragon Minor Realm, it was common for Rogue Cultivator to sneak in and search for treasures.
Dragon Scale was naturally beautiful, and with her extraordinary temperament after her bloodline awakened, it was normal for her to be targeted; it was just an accident.
Losing one eye is too lenient on him.
However, Ye Jianwei, who was standing to the side, suddenly frowned.
She remembered something and hesitated before speaking:
"Young Master..."
"Um?"
"On my way here, I was also followed," Ye Jianwei pursed her lips, "Although I've already dealt with him..."
She stopped there, a wave of fear washing over her.
Was it because I didn't handle things cleanly enough that someone managed to sneak in by following my trail?
"Oh?"
Qin Wangchuan raised an eyebrow.
Once was an accident, but the other two were quite interesting.
Upon hearing this, Long Yue's expression changed slightly.
She immediately knelt down again, bowing her head, and said:
"So, it was I who made a mistake."
"I only blinded that man in one eye; I didn't kill him on the spot."
"Please punish me, Dragon Lord!"
"Punishment?"
Qin Wangchuan looked at her kneeling figure and suddenly a playful smile appeared on his lips.
"The punishment you're talking about... could it be... touching its corners?"
Long Yue's face flushed slightly.
She opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but didn't know how.
Although that wasn't what she was thinking, the feeling... was indeed subtle.
It might be addictive.
Or is it that the Dragon Lord's methods are peculiar?
Isn't that strange? -- Qin Wangchuan used a pair of dragon horns as a steering wheel, rubbing them vigorously with both hands.
After pondering for a moment, Long Yue turned her face away and remained silent.
Perhaps this punishment... no, reward is coming.
Ye Jianwei watched from the side, her heart trembling slightly.
Touching the corner?
What do you mean by "touching the corner"?
Did she miss something?
After the joke, Qin Wangchuan's expression returned to normal, and he shook his head indifferently.
"I act flamboyantly, so it's normal for some people to try to sabotage me."
Having said that, he raised his hand, and a Divine Sense transformed into a stream of light, piercing through the air and disappearing—
He sent a message home, asking someone to investigate who the rat was.
Even without any clues, or even knowing who the other party is.
However, the Great Emperor of the household can deduce one's destiny and can identify it in an instant.
Following closely behind, even the Dragon Scale, shows considerable audacity.
Ideally, it should be the same person.
Having accomplished all this, the relocation of the True Dragon Clan was nearing its end.
Outside the hall, the last batch of supplies was carried by the dragons towards the exit of the Ancient Dragon Minor Realm.
It's time to go out.
The Ten Directions Immortal Court, the Eternal Life Qin Clan.
According to regulations, Qin Wangchuan's messages are received and processed by designated personnel.
When the long-awaited news arrived, Qin Wenhe, as the teacher, wanted to see for himself what his most proud student had accomplished this time.
So he strolled over to check things out.
At first glance, it seems to be the same routine report as before.
Qin Wenhe nodded repeatedly as he watched, his beard bristling.
"Wangchuan's actions are truly remarkable; he's brought the entire True Dragon Clan under his control."
He flipped through the record book, beaming as he looked at the elder beside him.
"Just you wait, the other Imperial Clan will send people over soon, yelling and clamoring for a share of the Dragon Qi."
"Hmm~ This might be an opportunity to extort some money!"
The elder beside him hesitated and did not respond.
He had already read the contents beforehand, so he knew what was coming next.
Sure enough, Qin Wenhe turned to the next page, and his expression changed.
"Ye Jianwei being followed?"
He frowned slightly and continued reading.
"Twice!"
"They dare to mess with the gods!"
Qin Wenhe didn't say anything more, but lightly raised his fingertips and began to perform divination.
Qin Wangchuan's fate is special, but others don't have this privilege.
With just a few simple methods, everything can be deduced, the whole story can be reconstructed, and the mouse can be caught.
Seeing this, the elder next to him reached out and pressed down on his wrist.
"Imperial Teacher."
Qin Wenhe looked up.
"It's already been calculated." The elder withdrew his hand, his tone calm. "An Immortal Power called the Years Tower has a member named Hou Yanzhi who has harbored thoughts he shouldn't have."
It was him both times.
"The Years Tower?"
Qin Wenhe pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly.
Never heard of it.
But since they dare to provoke my Qin Clan, they must have some backing.
He closed the booklet and looked up at the elder beside him.
How was this matter handled?
The elder picked up his teacup and took a sip.
"The Celestial Patrol Bureau team has already gone there."
"They should be here by now."
The Qin Clan implemented a system of one cabinet, two councils, and six departments.
Among them, the three external offices are: the Celestial Patrol Bureau, the Territorial Expansion Office, and the Sky Slaying Office.
The Celestial Patrol Bureau was merely a department responsible for intelligence.
But right now--
That's more than enough.
Qin Wenhe gave a soft "hmm" and looked out the window.
The clouds drift and gather, just as always.
In just a few words.
The fate of an Immortal Power was sealed.
