On the plains, Qinchuan and Qin Jue stood opposite each other. The two of them looked at each other silently, neither of them saying a word.
In the end, Qinchuan couldn't hold it in and asked Qin Jue, "General Qin, why are you looking for me?"
When he saw the two warriors just now, Qinchuan was still curious about who wanted to see him. He actually discovered him when he was still a hundred miles away from the Elf City. When Qin Jue appeared, Qinchuan naturally obtained the answer he wanted.
However, he and Qin Jue had only met once and didn't have any interactions. Why would Qin Jue want to see him?
Moreover, it had been almost a month since the end of the beast tide, but Qin Jue still hadn't left. It couldn't be because of him, right?
"They really look alike."
Qin Jue carefully observed Qinchuan's face and said in a low voice, "Why didn't I notice it that day?"
Qinchuan frowned slightly. "General Qin, what are you talking about?"
"Nothing."
Qin Jue came back to his senses and pursed his lips slightly. "Your teacher, Ning Ya, and I are good friends who have gone through life and death together. She was the one who asked me to deploy troops to search for your whereabouts nearby."
Hearing Qin Jue mention Ning Ya, Qinchuan couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. So it was an old acquaintance of his teacher.
"I've already informed her. She should be here soon." Qin Jue looked around and asked Qinchuan, "Where's the Lion Duke?"
"He left. I came here by myself."
Qinchuan had no intention of betraying the Lion Duke, because there was no need and no meaning.
"During this period of time, did the Lion Duke do anything to you?"
Qin Jue looked at Qinchuan with a subtle gaze. She remembered that Qinchuan was only at the tenth level of the Qi Refinement Stage back then, but now, he had already reached the twelfth level of the Qi Refinement Stage. This progress was a little too fast. Furthermore, Qinchuan's body seemed to have been tempered extremely well. Could it be that the Lion Duke took Qinchuan away to guide him in his cultivation?
This was too inconceivable.
However, what Qin Jue didn't know was that her guess was very close to the truth. Lion Lord had indeed not done anything harmful to Qinchuan. He had even given Qinchuan a huge opportunity. It could be said to be quite surprising.
"No, Lion Baron just asked me some questions, and then left me in the Blackmoon Mountains. I've been looking for a way out, and now I'm finally out."
In the end, Qinchuan decided to lie because the truth was too crazy. If he told the truth, something bad would definitely happen.
Qin Jue was a little surprised and asked in confusion, "What question did Lion Duke ask you?
Can you tell me? "
"Tell me too, let me hear it."
At this moment, Ning Ya's figure descended from the sky. She came to Qinchuan's side and sized him up. After confirming that Qinchuan was fine, she heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she raised her hand and slapped Qinchuan on the head.
"Brat, you've grown up. You actually dare to follow the Demon King. Why don't you go to heaven?"
Qinchuan raised his hand and rubbed his head. He said to Ning Ya helplessly, "Teacher, I was forced to do that."
"Alright, Ning Ya, let's get down to business."
Qin Jue looked at Ning Ya with a reproachful gaze, as if he wasn't satisfied with Ning Ya casually beating up Qinchuan.
Ning Ya curled her lips. Now you know how to feel heartache. What were you doing earlier?
Qinchuan didn't notice the secret communication between Qin Jue and Ning Ya. He organized his words and said to the two of them, "Lion Duke asked me about my experiences in the Cursed Lands."
Hearing Qinchuan's words, Qin Jue and Ning Ya's expressions changed slightly. They didn't expect Lion Duke to ask Qinchuan about the Cursed Lands.
During this period of time, Qin Jue had been investigating Qinchuan. Naturally, he knew that Qinchuan had gone deep into the Cursed Lands and used the teleportation formation to go to the Black Moon Combat Academy. He also knew that many people were watching Qinchuan, wanting to know the secrets of the Cursed Lands from Qinchuan.
"Could it be that Lion Duke didn't come up with it on the spur of the moment?"
Qin Jue frowned slightly. When Lion Duke wanted to take Qinchuan away, she thought that he had changed his mind at the last minute. Now, it seemed that wasn't the case.
"Hehe, how interesting."
Ning Ya sneered, "I was wondering why a beast tide suddenly broke out in the Elf City after so many years. Furthermore, Lion Duke, who had disappeared for seventy years, is also involved. So Lion Duke is actually here for the Cursed Lands.
For a Demon King like Lion Duke who doesn't have much time to live, the secrets of the Cursed Lands must be fatally attractive to him. For some people, Lion Duke is a good partner. "
At this point, Ning Ya looked at Qin Jue and said coldly, "The 28th Legion is stationed less than a thousand miles away from the Elf City, but they ignored the repeated requests for help from the Elf City and refused to send troops. Now, it seems that someone deliberately didn't let the 28th Legion send troops to help and created an opportunity for Lion Duke."
Qin Jue pondered for a moment and said, "Could there be a misunderstanding?"
"Misunderstanding?"
Ning Ya looked sharply in the direction of the Black Moon Mountain Range and said coldly, "Very few humans know about the secrets of the Cursed Lands. How did Lion Duke know?
Very few people know that Qinchuan once went deep into the Cursed Lands and came out alive. How did Lion Duke know?
Why did Lion Duke agree that as long as Qinchuan went with him, he would be willing to withdraw his troops?
Such an obvious thing is right in front of you, don't you understand? "
"After Lion Duke found out about the secrets of the Cursed Lands, he could have killed Qinchuan. Why did he let Qinchuan go?"
"Hehe, Lion Duke didn't kill Qinchuan probably because he wanted Qinchuan to live and bring out the news and cause internal strife in our human race. You know in your heart how many people are paying attention to the secrets of the Cursed Lands.
Not only can you obtain the secrets of the Cursed Lands, but you can also use this opportunity to cause internal strife in our human race. Why not? "
Hearing Ning Ya's words, Qin Jue's face gradually darkened. He really didn't expect that some people would secretly collude with such a vicious Demon King like Lion Duke in order to obtain the secrets of the Cursed Lands. This was simply unforgivable.
Looking at the gloomy faces of Ning Ya and Qin Jue, Qinchuan was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that he had just casually found an excuse to hide the truth, but it had caused Ning Ya to imagine such a wonderful show.
Teacher, it's a pity that you didn't become a scriptwriter.
Ning Ya's guess could be said to be reasonable. Even Qinchuan, who knew the truth, almost believed it. This story was so perfect that no one could find any flaws.
"Qinchuan, I will definitely uphold justice for you."
Ning Ya reached out and gently stroked Qinchuan's head. She said softly, "They dare to collude with the Demon Race to harm my student. They must pay the price."
Qinchuan: "…"
