Chapter 1770 1774: The Reason
Gongsun Third Lady was whispering with the two black-clothed men, when suddenly, a force of True Qi rushed over from afar. The three of them frowned simultaneously and reacted instantly!
However, that True Qi was extremely powerful. When they condensed their True Qi to force Qin Tian's True Qi back.
Qin Tian had already charged like the unstoppable force, directly breaking through their True Qi Barrier and immediately clasped the necks of the two black-clothed men!
When Qin Tian's figure flashed out, Gongsun Third Lady had already recognized Qin Tian, so she withdrew her hand immediately.
"Master, don't kill them yet!"
Seeing Qin Tian about to kill those two, Gongsun Third Lady immediately shouted.
Qin Tian was taken aback: "You betrayed me and still want me to spare them?"
"Master, I didn't betray you. If you kill them, Third Lady won't be able to explain tonight's events. I implore the master not to kill them yet until we understand the reason, then it's not too late to kill."
Gongsun Third Lady fell to her knees before Qin Tian with a "thud".
Indeed, a female slave.
Qin Tian hesitated for a moment, directly using True Qi to lock the meridians of the two black-clothed men. Their cultivation was only at the Early Stage of the Small Immortal Realm, akin to ants before Qin Tian, unable to resist at all.
"Master, forgive me. My secret talk with these two tonight was about my allegiance to the master, not working for the Ninth Prince anymore."
Gongsun Third Lady said, "I didn't tell them I'm already yours, only informed them our Gongsun Family doesn't want to get involved in the conflict between the Ninth Prince and the Crown Prince anymore, so I'm withdrawing, no longer working for the Ninth Prince and letting them go back to explain to the Ninth Prince."
Qin Tian sneered: "Now you've said in front of them that you belong to me, and you still want them to go back and inform the Ninth Prince?"
"Naturally, they won't be able to go back now; they must die."
"Then why did you stop me from killing them?"
"To prove Third Lady's innocence."
"How to prove it?"
"As long as they are under my control, I can restore the scene from earlier. Master, please watch."
As Gongsun Third Lady spoke, she suddenly acted, pulling the two black-clothed men controlled by Qin Tian directly in front of her. Then, a silver light accompanied by her silent mnemonic chant spread out, and Qin Tian noticed that suddenly a silver screen appeared in the sky, like a movie screen.
At this moment, as Gongsun Third Lady activated the spell, the scene of Gongsun Third Lady and those two talking gradually appeared on the silver screen.
"Third Lady, are you betraying His Highness? Do you know the consequences?" said one of the black-clothed men in the scene.
Gongsun Third Lady replied, "It's not betrayal, just abandoning cooperation. Previously, His Majesty sent me to West State without any orders to kill Qin Tian; it was the Ninth Prince who came to cooperate. Now I'm just not cooperating, not killing Qin Tian."
"Ha! You know the repercussions of reneging? Have you sided with Qin Tian?"
"This isn't reneging; the Ninth Prince only promised to help me contend for the position of Family Head. I received no benefit from him."
In the scene, Gongsun Third Lady spoke softly, "I haven't sided with Qin Tian, but His Majesty sent me to supervise in West State, to strengthen the relationship between Qin Tian and His Majesty. I'm here to improve relations, not to kill."
"If I kill Qin Tian and His Majesty finds out later, our Gongsun Family will be affected. So, I cannot kill him, and you must inform the Ninth Prince that the cooperation is canceled."
Upon hearing Gongsun Third Lady's words, both black-clothed men sneered.
"You say cancel, then cancel. Fine, wait and see; His Highness will retaliate against your Gongsun Family..."
Voom!
As the words were spoken, a burst of True Qi struck from afar!
Then, the silver screen disappeared, and Gongsun Third Lady opened her beautiful eyes, calmly regaining her breath, saying, "My cultivation isn't enough yet, so I can only recollect up to this point, which is some conversations we had..."
As she spoke, Gongsun Third Lady looked at Qin Tian, saying, "Master, you must believe me."
Bang! Bang!
Qin Tian made a move, directly killing the two black-clothed men.
He looked at her, saying, "I can believe you. But I'm curious, why such a quick change in attitude, willing to become my female slave and ally with me?"
"Because I saw the master's abilities."
"Oh? What abilities."
"The master's identity is special..."
As she spoke, Gongsun Third Lady raised her head, her eyes directly meeting Qin Tian's: "Since I've become the master's slave, I'll speak honestly."
"The master, because of poisoning that day, at the brink of death, released the unexplored power within his Dan Tian Qi Sea completely."
"Besides having the Demon Clan's aura, the most obvious thing you have, master, is Dragon Qi; that's the Dragon Qi of Long Yin. I can see clearly that the master is not an ordinary Long Yin."
"Later, in the past few days, I also investigated, the master's release of such Pure Gang Dragon Qi was done before only by one person, Long Jun."
As she spoke, Qin Tian frowned slightly, locking his gaze on Gongsun Third Lady.
This aspect of his identity, did she discover it?
"Long Jun's Pure Gang Dragon Qi couldn't be cultivated from acquired means, only inherited."
Gongsun Third Lady's face showed little change, seemingly having accepted Qin Tian's identity long ago, "So, master, if I'm correct, you should be a descendant of Long Jun."
Swish!
Qin Tian's cheeks moved slightly, yet he said nothing.
Indeed, it was discovered.
"You're curious why I would pledge myself to you and willingly become your female slave. In reality, our Gongsun Family is no less than the Ice Emperor's female slave; summoned and dismissed at will by His Majesty."
"And His Majesty once usurped the position of Long Jun to become the Ice Emperor. Long Jun, admired by many, should have been the monarch of the Tianyuan Dynasty, and you, as his descendant, should as a matter of course be the future monarch."
"Our Gongsun Family can become the Ice Emperor's slaves, I, Gongsun Third Lady, find it an honor to become solely your female slave."
She smiled at the corners of her mouth as she spoke, "Of course, I also hope that after becoming the master's person, when you become the Emperor of the Dynasty, you will grant me the position of Family Head of the Gongsun Family, which I will ensure follows your commands."
Qin Tian smiled faintly.
Previously, Qin Tian felt that Gongsun Third Lady's words seemed insincere.
Now, as things came full circle, it turned out that Gongsun Third Lady's end goal was still to become the Family Head of the Gongsun Family, which was her ultimate purpose.
Qin Tian gazed at her, saying, "You are certain I will become, in the future, the Emperor of the Dynasty?"
