Chapter 1058

But how could Gao Yang miss such a perfect opportunity to win over Qin Qi? With a serious demeanor and his hands behind his back, he said, "Miss Ji, your words are not quite right. During these three days, Qin Qi can completely rest with us!"

"Resting while discussing the mission is the utmost priority! Miss Ji, you should also understand the importance of this Earth-ranked mission!"

Ji Qingzhu took a gentle breath, also unwilling to let go easily, "Captain Gao, your words are very interesting. If you want to discuss the mission details with Qin Qi, why not come to my residence!"

"There’s no need to make Qin Qi go through the trouble of going to your place. After all, Qin Qi is still under my charge!"

The implication was unmistakably clear.

For now, Qin Qi is still under his command.

You, Gao Yang, wanting to snatch Qin Qi in front of me? No way.

At this moment, everyone exchanged glances, feeling countless emotions.

Everyone knew about the tension between Gao Yang and Ji Qingzhu.

Seeing Ji Qingzhu’s resolute attitude, and given that Qin Qi was indeed under her charge, Gao Yang felt morally disadvantaged.

He said, "Alright, alright, during these three days, let Qin Qi stay at your place. Why should Miss Ji be angry? After all, you may watch for a while, but can you watch forever?"

After speaking, Gao Yang waved his hand and led his men away.

As soon as they left, Zhang Chong beside Gao Yang couldn’t help but say, "Captain, did we just leave like this? In three days, news about Qin Qi will spread throughout Yellow Heaven City!"

"By then, it will undoubtedly be much harder for us to win him over!"

"We might as well go all out now and take Qin Qi wholeheartedly. If the worst comes, falling out with Ji Qingzhu is no big deal."

"After all, Ji Qingzhu is just at the First Layer of the Core Formation Stage. Even if she is the Ji Family heiress of the southern district, on the battlefield, her status as a Ji Family heiress is worthless!"

Though he lost to Qin Qi, he still recognized Qin Qi’s value and felt prompted to remind him.

Gao Yang rubbed his temples, "It’s not as simple as you think. Qin Qi is currently under Ji Qingzhu’s charge. What do we have to win him over?"

"After all, the battlefield has explicit rules against such blatant recruitment. My only regret now is letting you test that kid."

"Now that kid has gained fame from a single battle, it’s difficult for us to win him over privately!"

Zhang Chong couldn’t help but say, "Yes, Captain Gao, that’s the problem. Once the time spreads during these three days, other teams surely won’t sit still."

Gao Yang frowned slightly, hands behind his back, "The good news for now is that this Earth-ranked mission still involves this Qin kid traveling with us!"

"We can only take this chance to recruit Qin Qi into our twelfth team!"

...

Everything was as Gao Yang and others thought.

Just the next day, news about Qin Qi spread throughout every team in Yellow Heaven City.

Qin Qi single-handedly defeated an Elite Demon, and when Gao Yang’s six Fake Pill Stage men attacked together, they couldn’t handle Qin Qi in a short time.

This battle report caused great interest among the captains of various squads as soon as it spread.

In a short day, the residence of the twelfth team received visit after visit from captains of the Core Formation Stage.

Ji Qingzhu was sitting cross-legged on a mat, her delicate brows furrowed.

Soon, Ji Hongzhuang, wearing a long green dress, entered the hall, "Sister!"

Ji Qingzhu furrowed her brows, "How many batches today?"

"The seventh batch," Ji Hongzhuang said.

"All coming for Qin Qi?"

"Yes!"

Ji Qingzhu clenched her silver teeth, "These bastards, who you can hardly see any day, as soon as they hear about a talent, they all can’t sit still. They directly come to my territory to recruit him!"

"Even if they’re trying to recruit, isn’t it too blatant? Do they really think I, Ji Qingzhu, can’t retain Qin Qi?"

Ji Hongzhuang said sternly, "Sister, what should we do now? These Core Formation Stage captains are all stationed outside. You can’t persuade any of them to leave; it’s clear they won’t stop without seeing Qin Qi!"

Ji Qingzhu shook her head, "My concern isn’t them!"

"Sister, aren’t you worried about this?" Ji Hongzhuang looked surprised.

Ji Qingzhu crossed her arms, her face full of worry, "You must understand, Qin Qi has only revealed his talent and combat ability for now. His most valuable power and worth, these people are not yet aware of."

"Even if they don’t leave now, if I don’t let them in, they won’t dare forcibly enter our twelfth team’s residence!"

"Even if they want to recruit, they won’t cause too much fuss, and won’t tear this matter apart!"

"But if Qin Qi’s most valuable worth is exposed, and these people find out, it’s hard to say whether they won’t tear things apart and try to snatch Qin Qi!"

Ji Hongzhuang, hearing her sister’s words, couldn’t help but tremble slightly, also sensing the seriousness of the situation.

She naturally knew Qin Qi’s most precious ability and worth!

He could dispel Poisonous Energy!

For cultivators in the battlefield, once Poisonous Energy is contracted, the only way out is prolonged rest or spending a great deal of money on some extremely rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for recovery.

This leads to a situation where even though Secret Realm Cultivators have a numerical advantage, if too many are poisoned, there will still be many skilled people unable to be deployed!

Qin Qi’s ability almost ensures his team won’t face obstacles from Poisonous Energy anymore.

This worth is unparalleled and irreplaceable in all battlefields!

Truly by then, these captains, who are still preserving some dignity and unwilling to tear faces now, who can guarantee they won’t completely fall out!

Ji Hongzhuang couldn’t help but say, "Sister, what should we do then..."

Ji Qingzhu furrowed her delicate brows, "It’s better to lead than block... The only way is to bind Qin Qi’s heart so that he wholehearted stays with us!"

"No matter what other teams try, they can’t lure him away!"

"With him, the Ji Family has a chance for revival. We could have enough ability to earn Battle Merits to heal our parents’ injuries..."

Ji Hongzhuang curiously asked, "Sister, do you have a plan?"

Ji Qingzhu exhaled lightly.

Then, her gaze inadvertently glanced at her ravishingly beautiful sister.

She had no good plan.

The first plan that emerged in her mind was just one.

It was the very approach she had always despised and never thought of using, the beauty trap...
