Celestial Night Emperor

Chapter 207: Chapter 207: Reborn Luo Tianying

Luo Tianying was brought before Qin Tianxuan.

Qin Tianxuan picked up his teacup and took a sip. ”Young Master Luo, do you know who I am?”

Luo Tianying swallowed, his voice hoarse. ”I know, but I don’t dare say it.”

Qin Tianxuan smiled. ”Good. Do you know why I saved you?”

Luo Tianying gritted his teeth and sat up straight. ”If you’re after my family’s foundation, then I’m sorry, but even if I’m scared to death, even if you are the Night Emperor, I will not sell it!”

Qin Tianxuan waved his hand dismissively. ”You can keep the foundation. Not just this 40%, but all the Luo Family’s remaining wealth—I won’t take a single cent!”

Luo Tianying was dumbfounded once again.

”You... you’re really not after the foundation?”

Qin Tianxuan said coolly, ”Even if the Luo Family’s entire fortune were laid out before me, I wouldn’t give it a second glance. Do I look like I need your family’s money?”

On that point, Luo Tianying was inclined to believe him.

The Longyue Financial Group in Jinling alone was worth roughly the same as the Luo Family’s entire fortune combined.

And it was obvious that the Longyue Group was just a plaything for Qin Tianxuan.

Even a fool like him had some idea of the Night Emperor’s power and wealth.

”Why did you save me? Not long ago, I was trying to force Ye Xuanxuan into marriage. I was causing trouble all over Jinling and working against you...”

Luo Tianying faltered. He truly couldn’t understand it.

A glint flashed in Qin Tianxuan’s eyes. ”You think you can stand against me?”

”No, no, Lord Night Emperor, please don’t misunderstand. I just... I just can’t believe you’re the one who saved me.”

Luo Tianying’s tone had completely changed.

Qin Tianxuan snorted. ”Regarding Xuanxuan, you were merely a pawn. As for your actions in Jinling, they were nothing but tiresome little schemes to me.”

As he spoke, he handed him a glass of water.

Luo Tianying accepted it with trepidation, stunned by the unexpected gesture.

Qin Tianxuan sipped his tea and smiled faintly. ”The reason I spared your life back then was because I found you to be a bumbling idiot, one who could be used against the Luo Family.”

Luo Tianying’s face flushed, but he had to admit it. From the Moonlight Celestial Cyan Grass to that medical book, he had been an utter fool. Qin Tianxuan had controlled his every move.

Qin Tianxuan set down his teacup and glanced at him. ”But I saw what happened at the villa just now, and I must say, Eldest Young Master Luo, you’ve earned a measure of my respect!”

Ah!

Luo Tianying was so flustered he forgot all about his injuries.

’The Night Emperor... Lord Night Emperor actually said he respects me?’

’Could it be because of my mother?’

As he’d suspected, Qin Tianxuan’s tone grew heavy. ”My mother was also murdered by her family. But unlike you, I didn’t give up on myself. And because I see that you still have that conviction, I want to give you a chance!”

His eyes flashed. ”Luo Tianying, are you willing to follow me from now on?”

What?!!

For the third time, Luo Tianying was utterly shaken.

’Me? A waste of space like me... I could follow the Night Emperor?’

”Start over. Leave the old you behind!” Qin Tianxuan said, gesturing to Wang Hou. ”Back in the day, he was in even worse shape than you. A complete wreck of a man. But now, he is the Marquis of the God of Wealth Hall, a mover and shaker who commands immense wealth!”

Wang Hou pursed his lips in a smile as he looked at the dazed Luo Tianying. ”Have you heard of the Beijun Royal Family? That’s my family. At my lowest point, I sold my own blood just to afford a drink! So, Young Master Luo, don’t think you’re a lost cause. As long as you follow Mr. Qin, you can be reborn!”

In that moment, Luo Tianying—once a decadent playboy, now a broken wreck—suddenly felt his blood begin to boil with passion.

’Follow the Night Emperor. Start over.’

’Maybe I can truly grow and make something of myself!’

He hesitated no longer, rolling right off the stretcher.

He landed painfully on the ground, but stubbornly pushed himself up.

Then, facing Qin Tianxuan, he slowly and respectfully knelt. ”I’ve accomplished nothing in my life. I wore the title of the Luo Family’s young master, but behind my back, no one respected me. Now, I want to avenge my mother! I will destroy the Luo Family, and I will kill Luo Qilin!”

Qin Tianxuan watched him in silence.

After a long moment, he personally poured Luo Tianying a cup of tea.

He raised his own teacup and clinked it against Luo Tianying’s. ”You’re injured, so you can’t drink alcohol. I’ll use tea in place of wine. Drink this, and from now on, you are a brother to the Night Emperor!”

Tears streamed down Luo Tianying’s face as he drained the hot tea in a single, satisfying gulp.

Qin Tianxuan then raised his hand slightly. ”Bring him in. Consider it a gift for Luo Tianying.”

As he was helped back onto the stretcher, Luo Tianying turned his head in astonishment.

He saw Luo Zhonghai being dragged forward, looking utterly wretched.

Luo Tianying was stunned yet again.

’This is his gift to me?’

’That’s Lord Night Emperor for you... He actually captured Luo Zhonghai, the most fearsome man in the family.’

At that moment, new and old hatreds came surging up within him.

Luo Tianying stared at the wretched Luo Zhonghai. ”From this moment on, I am not the young master of the Luo Family, but a mere soldier under Mr. Qin. And I will settle the score between us in full!”

What?

Luo Zhonghai looked up in disbelief. ”You dare, Luo Tianying! You sold out the family’s foundation!”

”Shut up! Mr. Qin doesn’t care about that money! I was about to offer it all to him, and he refused to take a single cent!”

’So, Qin Tianxuan had taken Luo Tianying on as his lackey?’

Luo Zhonghai suddenly burst into frenzied laughter. ”Qin Tianxuan, you’re hilarious! You’re actually taking in a piece of trash like Luo Tianying? Are you that desperate for followers?”

Qin Tianxuan cut his laughter short. ”It won’t be long before Luo Tianying becomes the Luo Family’s worst nightmare! I trust that soon enough, this former decadent young master will send shockwaves through the Imperial Capital! But what a pity... you won’t live to see that day.”

He waved his hand again. ”Leave Luo Zhonghai for Tianying to handle.”

Finally, he looked at the deeply moved Luo Tianying. ”Your future accomplishments are up to you. I have only given you an opportunity. For now, focus on your recovery. Don’t worry about Luo Qilin. I will deal with him personally!”

With tears streaming down his face, Luo Tianying was carried away. With a Divine Doctor from the Celestial Medicine Hall present, in addition to Gu Qingzhi at Shenghua Hospital, it wouldn’t be long before he was back on his feet and full of life.

Meanwhile, Luo Zhonghai was still screaming. ”I’m the Qilin War General’s advisor! You can’t do this to me! You don’t have the authority! The Battle Department... the Battle Department won’t spare you! And the Celestial Hall, they won’t spare you either!”

The Battle Department? The Celestial Hall?

Qin Tianxuan raised his hand and gave an order. ”Set up a video conference. Connect me to the Battle Department and the Celestial Hall right now!”
