In the evening.
As promised, Qinchuan and Zuo Sisi arrived at a restaurant near the Rose Hotel. They met Tushan Ling and Tushan Yue at the door. Qinchuan acted as if nothing had happened, warmly greeting Tushan Ling and Tushan Yue.
"Nice to meet you, Uncle Yue, Brother Ling."
Looking at Qinchuan's smiling face, Tushan Ling chuckled as well, teasing him, "I thought Brother Qin would study Master Ai Le's notes so hard that you would forget our dinner date."
Hearing Tushan Ling's words, Qinchuan smiled calmly, "Although I do want to study Master Ai Le's notes, unfortunately, I haven't studied Master Tian Yin's notes thoroughly. I don't have time to read Master Ai Le's notes for now."
Zuo Sisi's expression remained the same, but she was secretly observing Tushan Ling and Tushan Yue's expressions. As she and Qinchuan expected, Tushan Ling and Tushan Yue's expressions changed when they learned that Qinchuan hadn't read Master Ai Le's notes.
Hearing this, Tushan Ling's expression changed slightly, asking, "You didn't even flip through the notes casually?"
Hearing this, Qin Chuan said with a serious expression, "Master Ai Le is a fifth-grade talisman array master and my senior. How can I casually flip through his notes? I have to read and study them when I'm at my peak."
Standing behind Qinchuan, Zuo Sisi almost burst out laughing when she heard Qinchuan talking nonsense with such a serious face. Why didn't she realize that Qinchuan was such a good talker before?
The expressions on Tushan Ling and Tushan Yue's faces were simply too wonderful!
Before Tushan Ling asked anything else, Qinchuan continued, "I wanted to take a look at Master Ai Le's notes as well, but I was worried that I would be too engrossed in it and miss tonight's dinner date. Secondly, I haven't studied Master Tian Yin's notes thoroughly. If I start studying Master Ai Le's notes right away, I'm afraid I'll bite off more than I can chew. We have to walk step by step."
Hearing Qinchuan's reasonable explanation, Tushan Ling's mouth twitched fiercely. He didn't know what to say. Beside him, Tushan Yue couldn't help but say to Qinchuan, "Actually, Master Ai Le's notes aren't as complicated as you think. You can take a simple look at them first."
Qinchuan smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "I also wanted to take a look at Master Ai Le's notes, but Grand Duke Angel told me that he would recommend me to Master Tian Yin soon. If Master Tian Yin asks me questions about the notes and I can't answer them, not only would I fail to live up to Grand Duke Angel's good intentions, but I would also miss a chance to communicate with a Level Five talisman formation master. Therefore, I have to study Master Tian Yin's notes wholeheartedly during this period of time."
After hearing Qinchuan's reasonable explanation, Tushan Yue was so depressed that he almost spat out blood. He had carefully designed such a trap to make Qinchuan step into it unknowingly. Who would have thought that Qinchuan was flirting with a blind man? All his efforts were in vain!
Hearing Qinchuan's answer, Tushan Yue forced a smile and said to Qinchuan, "It's good that you're aware of this. I wonder when Grand Duke Angel will recommend you to Master Tian Yin?"
Qinchuan chuckled and answered, "Right after the talisman formation master conference."
...
Qinchuan and Zuo Sisi enjoyed the banquet very much, but Tushan Ling and Tushan Yue tasted like they were chewing wax. Nothing tasted good to them. When the banquet was finally over, Tushan Ling and Tushan Yue bid farewell to Qinchuan and hurried back to the hotel.
Once they entered the hotel, Tushan Yue's face darkened as he said coldly, "Our plan failed!"
Hearing this, Tushan Ling gave a bitter smile and said helplessly, "I didn't think that Qinchuan didn't read Master Ele's notes either. I'm afraid our plan to attract him with Dao inscriptions has failed."
Tushan Yue came up with this plan before he came to Sai Na City. He purposely made this plan to arouse Qinchuan's curiosity about Dao inscriptions with the notes on Dao inscriptions in Master Ele's notes. Then, he would use the Dao inscriptions in Master Ele's notes to recruit Qinchuan into Tushan Family. However, this plan failed at the very first step. Qinchuan didn't follow the plan at all!
Tushan Yue slowly turned around, looked at Tushan Ling and asked, "Do you think Qinchuan truly didn't read the notes, or is he playing dumb with us?"
Hearing this, Tushan Ling frowned slightly and said hesitantly, "I don't think he has a reason to play dumb with us, does he?"
"I don't think so either. But I don't believe that he can really resist reading Master Ele's notes." Tushan Yue frowned as well, "There must be something wrong!"
"Elder Seven, aren't you thinking too much?"
Tushan Ling looked at Tushan Yue and said, "Qinchuan has explained clearly that he didn't read Master Ele's notes because he wanted to focus on Master Tian Yin's notes. After all, he's going to meet Master Tian Yin in the future. It's normal for him to make more preparations."
Hearing Tushan Ling, Tushan Yue pondered for a while, then said to Tushan Ling, "But the family is still waiting for our reply. Are we going to wait forever?
There's at least half a month of time before the Talisman Formation Master Exchange Meeting ends. At that time, if Qin Chuan obtains the top three rankings in the Talisman Formation Master Exchange Meeting, then he'll have the chance to comprehend a Dao Insight. At that time, the other powers will surely make a move to recruit Qin Chuan! "
Because of Tushan Ling, Tushan Clan was the first force to receive the news. They quickly took action to cover up the news. The news of a super genius appearing in Sai Na Galaxy wouldn't spread for a short period of time. However, as time passed, the news would definitely leak out. By then, it would be much more difficult for them to recruit Qinchuan!
"We can't delay this any longer. We have to find a way to solve this as soon as possible!" Tushan Yue said in a deep voice, "We can wait, but that person in the family can't!"
Hearing Tushan Yue mention that person, Tushan Ling's expression immediately turned solemn as he replied, "I know. I'll try my best to get in touch with Qinchuan and try to recruit him!"
Hearing this, Tushan Yue took a deep look at Tushan Ling and said, "Tushan Ling, if you can recruit Qinchuan this time, I'll definitely recommend you to the family as a deacon of the family. You'll enjoy the third-class treatment!"
Hearing this, Tushan Ling's face immediately revealed a wisp of pleasant surprise. He said to Tushan Yue, "Elder Seven, don't worry. I won't let you and the family down!"
