The news of a mysterious late Nascent Soul Stage cultivator killing a mid Nascent Soul Stage cultivator and capturing an early Nascent Soul Stage cultivator had spread throughout the entire Star Dragon Federation in less than an hour. Almost all the forces had learned of this news through different channels, and they were all shocked by it!
It must be known that the Star Dragon Federation only had three late Nascent Soul stage cultivators on the surface: Marshal Mo Jun, Black Moon Academy's Ning Zhongtian, and Black City's Lord Shangguan Xun. Today, a mysterious late Nascent Soul stage cultivator had suddenly appeared. How could everyone not be curious and shocked?
Most importantly, this mysterious Late Nascent Soul Stage cultivator had killed a Mid Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, and this Mid Nascent Soul Stage cultivator was the honorary director of the Black City!
When everyone curiously investigated the cause of this matter, they were shocked to find that this matter was actually related to Qinchuan!
Could this matter be an open and covert struggle between Black City and the Black Moon Academy?!
While many powers were investigating the cause of this matter, Zhou Lin had already left the cultivation room with an ashen face and was running towards Zhou Meng's office.
"Linlin, wait for me!"
Duan Yuxin chased after Zhou Lin and finally caught up with her. She hurriedly pulled Zhou Lin and advised, "Can you not be so agitated?"
Zhou Lin looked back at Duan Yuxin and coldly said, "Black City's honorary director killed Qinchuan. How do you expect me to be calm?"
Duan Yuxin helplessly said, "Isn't Qinchuan fine?"
"If Qinchuan didn't have that mysterious late Nascent Soul stage cultivator by his side, have you thought about what would have happened to Qinchuan?" Zhou Lin coldly stared at Duan Yuxin. "He would have died!"
"But the one who died now isn't him. It's our Black City's Nascent Soul stage cultivator, our honorary director!"
Duan Yuxin anxiously said, "Have you not considered how painful this would be for our Black City?"
Hearing Duan Yuxin's words, Zhou Lin looked at Duan Yuxin with an extremely sad gaze and said in a low voice, "Yuxin, you've changed."
Duan Yuxin was slightly stunned and said with some astonishment, "What are you talking about?"
"I said you've changed. You're no longer the Duan Yuxin I'm familiar with."
Zhou Lin pursed her lips and asked, "Since when did you become such a person who only cares about gains and losses?
The death of the honorary director is indeed a great loss to Hei Cheng, but he only has himself to blame! "
Zhou Lin didn't care about Xing Ming at all. In her opinion, Xing Ming deserved to die. If he didn't have evil intentions towards Qinchuan, he wouldn't have been killed!
"Linlin, you are first and foremost a member of Black City, and second, you are Qinchuan's senior sister!"
Duan Yuxin couldn't help but say, "It's not that I care about the gains and losses, but you can't see anything except Qinchuan in your eyes!
Let me ask you, if your father is really involved in this matter, what do you plan to do?
Are you going to kill your father to avenge Qinchuan?! "
Duan Yuxin's words made Zhou Lin stunned on the spot. She looked at Duan Yuxin in a daze and couldn't say a word.
If her father was really involved in the murder of Qinchuan, what should she do?
Duan Yuxin saw Zhou Lin's slightly helpless look and couldn't help but feel distressed. She whispered to Zhou Lin, "Linlin, let's go back first, okay?
We'll wait until the truth comes to light and then we'll seek confirmation. It's not good for anyone if you go back in anger. "
"Yuxin, thank you."
Zhou Lin looked at Duan Yuxin with a complicated gaze and said, "But I won't go back. I have to clarify things. Don't worry, I won't do anything irrational. All I want is an answer."
Seeing Zhou Lin insist on meeting Zhou Meng, Duan Yuxin sighed helplessly and said to Zhou Lin, "Since you've already made your decision, I can only support you. Go, bravely do what you want to do. Don't leave any regrets in your heart."
Duan Yuxin stood on the spot and watched Zhou Lin leave. When Zhou Lin's figure was out of sight, she took out her optical computer and contacted Zhou Meng.
"Uncle Zhou, I tried my best, but I really couldn't stop Linlin."
"I understand."
Zhou Meng's voice came from the optical computer, "Since you can't stop her, let her come. This is something I'll have to face sooner or later."
… …
Zhou Lin had the fingerprint to unlock Zhou Meng's office, but she didn't open the door directly. Instead, she stood at the door and pressed the doorbell.
The moment the doorbell rang, the tightly shut office door slowly opened to both sides. A corridor that wasn't too long appeared before Zhou Lin's eyes. The corridor that she could walk through on a normal day seemed endless in her eyes.
"Why don't you come in?"
Zhou Meng's voice came from the office. Zhou Lin took a deep breath and stepped in. She crossed the corridor and stood in front of Zhou Meng.
Zhou Meng was wearing a decent suit, sitting on the comfortable office chair with a relaxed posture. He looked at Zhou Lin calmly and didn't speak. He gave the opportunity to speak first to Zhou Lin.
Facing the silent Zhou Meng, Zhou Lin took a deep breath and asked, "Father, you should know why I'm here."
Zhou Meng asked faintly, "Should I know?"
Zhou Lin pursed her lips and whispered, "I know, Yuxin will contact you after I leave."
Zhou Meng was silent for a moment, then said to Zhou Lin, "You're right, Yuxin did contact me.
I also know why you're here, but are you sure you want to question your father for a boy you've only known for two years? "
Hearing Zhou Meng's words, Zhou Lin looked deeply at Zhou Meng and said, "So, you really do know the inside story. You know that Hei Cheng wants to murder Qinchuan!"
"This isn't a murder, it's a strategic deployment of Hei Cheng."
Zhou Meng explained, "Qinchuan has something we need, we must get it!"
"Then why can't we use a normal transaction?" Zhou Lin asked, "Why do we have to use such an extreme method?"
"How do you know I haven't tried?"
Zhou Meng sighed, "If we can get Qinchuan's things through a normal transaction, we won't use such a method.
Moreover, we don't mean to kill Qinchuan, we just want to kidnap him. "
"This is just your side of the story, I don't believe it."
Zhou Lin looked at Zhou Meng seriously, "And, I don't want this to happen a second time!"
Zhou Meng looked deeply at Zhou Lin, "Hei Cheng has lost an honorary director, a Nascent Soul cultivator!"
"You only have yourself to blame!" Zhou Lin said in a low voice, "You should pay the price for doing something wrong!"
