Chapter 258: You’re Not Very Serious, Are You?
“Although you seem quite unreliable, I initially didn’t plan to respect you. However, now it seems I’ve made a mistake; despite your unreliability, your work is actually quite impressive.”
…….
Inside the imperial palace.
When Emperor Xia first heard Qin Zhengji’s words, he thought to himself that this old man didn’t understand his rebellious son at all.
He was a little miffed, thinking that Qin Bei was out there tarnishing his reputation.
However, after hearing Qin Bei’s cynical remarks, he felt much better.
Ah, it must be his rebellious son!
He dares to say anything and confront anyone!
Not just him but he’s also making things entertaining—perfect!
…….
Qin Zhengji looked at Qin Bei in front of him with a strange expression.
He admitted he had been hasty.
Although Qin Bei was still very respectful in his words, the slight nod of his head while speaking gave off a different vibe.
Qin Zhengji got this feeling that Qin Bei was acknowledging him…
A little brat, actually acknowledging him.
Thinking of this made Qin Zhengji angry.
At the same time, he began to understand why such a good kid wouldn’t get along with Emperor Xia.
This kid is quite good—talented, knows how to act, and works diligently.
Too bad he has such a big mouth.
He always says things that infuriate people.
“If you can’t speak properly, just say less! What do you mean by unreliable? Your great-great-grandfather is perfectly serious!”
Qin Zhengji still wanted to prove something.
But it was pointless because Qin Bei wasn’t even listening.
While Qin Zhengji was talking, Qin Bei had already stood up and helped Mu Zhaoxue and Ji Zhuyue to their feet.
“Where’s Senior Shouming?”
It was only then that Qin Bei realized that Shouming, who had brought him in, hadn’t shown up for quite a while.
“What do you need him for?”
Qin Zhengji didn’t spill the details about Shouming’s situation.
“I’m getting ready to leave now. I want to say goodbye to Senior Shouming and ask him to take me to another area on the way.”
Qin Bei said with a grin.
This made Qin Zhengji, who had a complicated mood, chuckle.
“You little rascal, if you want him to give you a ride, just say so directly! Why all this fuss about saying goodbye? Can’t you be a little less hypocritical?”
Qin Zhengji saw through Qin Bei’s little scheme in one glance.
“Hehe~ Even though what you said is true, it’s not the whole picture!”
Qin Bei insisted.
“Alright, you just want to go to other areas, right? I can take you there.”
Qin Zhengji smiled and shook his head.
“Since great-great-grandfather is willing to lend a hand, that’s just perfect.”
Qin Bei smiled back at Qin Zhengji.
He just wanted to reach other areas, and it didn’t matter who took him—just as long as he got to his destination.
“But it’s already the seventh day, what do you need to go to other areas for? In three days, you should be entering the core area—that should be your final stop this time, right?”
Instead of bringing up Shou Ming, Qin Zhengji asked.
He was curious as to why Qin Bei wanted to venture to other areas at such a time.
Logically speaking, the biggest opportunities in the inner circle involve acquiring some techniques and powers that haven’t been passed down by predecessors.
These are highly coveted by geniuses.
But for Qin Bei, it seemed to be a different story.
Because Qin Bei didn’t lack any techniques or powers at all.
