Chapter 881 - 708: Prime Minister of the Former Dynasty

Chapter 881: Chapter 708: Prime Minister of the Former Dynasty

When the sound of footsteps echoed, Qin An immediately raised his hand to rest on the long knife at his waist, a wary look flashing in his eyes as he stared at the doorway, even emitting a faint killing intent.

In a place like this, alone, surrounded by an eerie atmosphere.

He was engrossed in conversation with Wang Liu when suddenly someone approached the room, and the other’s identity was unknown which would make anyone vigilant.

Qin An was naturally no different,

Wang Liu also heard the footsteps, turning his head toward the doorway in surprise, his eyes showing confusion, seemingly unsure who could it be.

Qin An asked, "You don’t know either?"

He could glean from Wang Liu’s expression that Wang Liu seemed to have no idea who suddenly came.

After all, if it involved Wang Liu, he wouldn’t show such an expression.

Wang Liu snapped out of it, hurriedly shaking his head, "I don’t know, I just had a spontaneous thought to bring you here to talk. Who knows who’s arrived?"

He was truly unsure, as meeting Qin An today was also sudden, and the information he wanted from Qin An was a spur-of-the-moment idea.

He hadn’t told anyone, and there’s no way anyone would know where they went.

But now, suddenly someone came, seemingly targeting Qin An, making it rather suspicious.

Qin An said no more, focusing intently ahead, his gaze serene as autumn water—untouched and unperturbed.

Yet, Qin An shifted his posture, always ready to draw his knife swiftly.

If danger arose, he could draw the long knife and counterattack instantly.

As Qin An and Wang Liu gazed ahead, a figure gradually became clear.

It was a man, precisely a male Pseudo-God, though he wore a white robe.

The white robe fit snugly, which on him, despite the cold Pseudo-God aura, made him appear more like a scholar.

Yet upon the man’s appearance, it wasn’t Qin An who reacted first, but Wang Liu nearby.

The surprise in Wang Liu’s eyes was profound, as if witnessing the most terrifying character, stunned for a long time.

Until the man halted, standing a short distance from them, Wang Liu took a step forward hastily, bowing his fists with respectful speech.

"Subordinate greets Mr. Li, what urgent matter brings Mr. Li here?"

His speech was tinged with respect, even using ’subordinate’ to refer to himself.

Qin An perceived an underlying tone in Wang Liu’s words.

The young Pseudo-God before them seemed to hold higher status than Wang Liu, causing Wang Liu to tread cautiously.

The young Pseudo-God shook his head slightly, then cast his gaze upon Qin An, his eyes showed curiosity instead of the usual Pseudo-God ferocity, "No need for formalities, I’ve come here mainly for Qin An."

He didn’t conceal, diving straight to the point about his purpose.

Qin An furrowed his brow slightly, asking, "You’re here for me, what’s your identity, and what’s your purpose?"

The most puzzling thing for Qin An was the other’s high status yet suddenly visiting him.

The purpose was certainly more complex than Wang Liu’s.

Mr. Li shook his head, then gestured with his hand, "Please follow me to the City Lord’s Mansion; the Prime Minister has been waiting there for a long time, with an important matter to discuss in detail."

Qin An raised his brow slightly, "Why choose now to find me? Surely you knew I was here long ago?"

He realized the visitor came from the Prime Minister’s underlings.

However, Qin An felt there were some discrepancies.

The other being powerful might have known of his arrival earlier.

But why hadn’t they reached out sooner, choosing this moment instead?

Questions demanded clarity, especially in this perilous place, as he was alone, not to overlook any valuable clues.

Of course, the other might merely offer perfunctory answers or false information.

Yet it mattered little, at least to Qin An.

Qin An needed to understand the other’s meaning, even extracting clues from their response.

Mr. Li explained, "Mr. Qin just arrived in this city, knowing nothing about it. If summoned by the Prime Minister directly, unaware of the city’s nature, Mr. Qin surely wouldn’t go."

"Letting Mr. Qin learn more about the city, about us, even about the so-called Chaotic Street, would prompt Mr. Qin to agree to meet the Prime Minister."

He refrained from any concealment, speaking candidly.

Qin An showed an enlightened look, after contemplating for a moment, nodded, "Alright, since there’s such reasoning, let’s visit the City Lord’s Mansion."

Having been here, roaming for so long, without any news about the supreme essence.

Though understanding these Pseudo-Gods better, Wang Liu’s status meant limited knowledge, not all being pivotal information.
