Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1391: Chapter 761: 14 Days—Qing Chen Loses His Freedom (Part 3)

Wait a minute, what exactly is Qing Chen’s identity and status within the Qing’s Family? Why did he attract the attention of that Qing Clan House Master on Ginkgo Mountain?

The Great Elder occasionally glanced at Qing Chen, his mind calculating furiously.

What Qing Chen was wondering was, how did the one on Ginkgo Mountain... know what he was going to ask, and prepare all the answers in advance?

Qing Chen pondered for a long time before asking, ”What do you want me to do?”

Qing Ji replied, ”Come with me to City No. 5, take a look at the scenery, and then follow our arrangements for fourteen days. Don’t worry, we won’t do anything to endanger your safety, you just need to follow our arrangements diligently.”

”Is it that simple?” Qing Chen asked.

”It’s that simple,” Qing Ji paused and said, ”The most important thing is, the Qing’s Family will be setting up missile defense systems south and north of City No. 10, so you can continue to develop peacefully. Otherwise, you have already angered Deer Island and Jindai, they might just throw missiles over, even if there are still six million civilians in the city. Do you have a missile defense system? You don’t.”

Qing Chen fell into deep thought.

At this moment, Qin Yiyi brought a small iron pot, inside was white rice porridge cooked with divine cow meat, sprinkled with a handful of small celery on the surface, looking particularly fresh.

Only at this moment did Qing Ji’s expression soften, and he said to Qin Yiyi, ”Thank you, the celery is very nice, I like it very much.”

”Dear Ancestor, why are you treating him so well?” the Great Elder said grumpily.

”He might be Qing Chen’s elder,” Qin Yiyi said softly.

The Great Elder felt helpless, first flattering Uncle Li Dong, now flattering Qing Ji, looking like a timid young wife!

But you are our Fire Pit’s Goddess!

Qing Chen looked at Qing Ji, ”Fourteen days, following your arrangements? It seems a bit too dangerous to me.”

Qing Ji took a sip of white porridge and said calmly, ”Rest assured, it’s not about going back to inherit the position of Family Head, you’re not ready yet.”

The Great Elder was immediately uncomfortable, he had just guessed at Qing Chen’s identity, but he didn’t dare to guess in that direction!

Before, when Qing Chen was just a Knight, he already felt it was unlucky enough, and now a Knight might be inheriting the position of Qing Clan Family Head, how miserable must the Fire Pit be?

One must know that these years, the Fire Pit was able to peacefully exist in the southwest without interference because Qing’s Family turned a blind eye, wanting them to help contain the wild men and the Chen Clan in the Taboo Land...

The Great Elder said, heartbroken, ”Wait a minute, why are the Knights and the word Family Head of Qing’s Family connected, don’t you think it’s very contradictory?”

Qing Ji glanced at the Great Elder, ”It’s okay, I think it’s quite fitting.”

”Are you taking sides?” The Great Elder wondered, ”You, Qing Ji, a Martial Warrior who doesn’t concern himself with worldly affairs, also have someone you support for inheritance? Can a Martial Warrior like you participate in the fight for succession?”

Qing Ji said calmly, ”There’s no one more suitable than him.”

The Great Elder felt helpless, at this time he even thought of moving the Fire Pit deeper into the Great Snow Mountain to avoid being targeted by Qing Chen.

Qing Ji finished the porridge, looked at Qing Chen, ”Have you decided?”

Qing Chen was still in deep thought.

Now, the most important thing for City No. 10 is resources.

As Qing Ji said, if the Qing’s Family doesn’t provide, then only the Li Family can provide resources to City No. 10.

Their destiny is completely in the hands of the Li Family, and if cooperation with the Li Family isn’t pleasant, they could immediately cut off supplies.

Secondly, in Qing Chen’s plan to kill Zong Cheng, the most critical element is the nanorobot, without which he cannot kill Zong Cheng.

So, Qing Chen suddenly realized that once he stepped on this path of revenge, once his fate was tied to those six hundred thousand people, he had to accept the conditions of the Qing Clan House Master.

Moreover, their conditions weren’t excessive, even though he would lose fourteen days of freedom, the prerequisite was not having to do anything that endangered himself.

If others play with intrigue, then the one on Ginkgo Mountain is best at open schemes, and when they start arranging things for you, it seems like your life still has countless choices, but in reality, there’s only one choice you can make.

Even if you know they have ulterior motives, even if you can’t guess their thoughts, you still have to follow the plan.

They already arranged everything for you.

Qing Chen looked at Qing Ji, ”I accept your conditions.”

Qing Ji wiped his mouth with his sleeve and opened the Door of Shadow, saying, ”Let’s go, just up ahead is City No. 5, you’re going alone.”

Qing Chen was taken aback, he didn’t expect the Door of Shadow to be in Qing Ji’s hands!

This was the taboo inherited by his brother’s choice.

There’s another Chapter before midnight.
