Chapter 2148 - 2148 Didn't Expect You To Live!
2148 Didn’t Expect You To Live!
However, Prayer Glow did not expect to be questioned by White Speak for hours.
White Speak had started out with normal questions that made Prayer Glow think that White Speak was just having fun.
But once the normal questions were over, White Speak’s questions became increasingly more difficult to stomach.
Each time Prayer Glow hesitated, White Speak would slam its fist down on Prayer Glow’s head.
After multiple painful punches, bumps were now covering Prayer Glow’s head.!!
Even if White Speak asked extremely sensitive questions, Prayer Glow answered them all.
But once the sensitive questions were over, White Speak started to ask increasingly senseless queries. No matter how hard Prayer Glow racked its brain, it could not come up with the answers.
Even when Prayer Glow had been beaten to the point of dizziness, White Speak continued to pose its questions.
Prayer Glow did not know that from the moment White Speak asked its first question, it had no intention of allowing Prayer Glow to survive.
“Does Dictator Return to Ruins have smelly feces?”
Prayer Glow had been about to lose consciousness, but when it heard this question, it immediately realized what White Speak’s intention was.
Prayer Glow wanted to start hurling insults at White Speak but did not have the strength to do so.
The fist attacks were turning into arm ones.
A splintering sound filled the air when White Speak slammed its forearm down on Prayer Glow’s head.
After killing Prayer Glow, White Speak started to absorb the source-type power from Prayer Glow’s body.
The totem and faith power from Prayer Glow’s body solidified into an amber-colored item.
But before White Speak could clearly see the amber-colored item, it was enveloped in rainbow light.
White Speak gave Prayer Glow’s body, which had turned into a sacred source lifeform to Begin Lady.
At this point, White Speak had accomplished Lin Yuan’s task and was about to return to continue guarding the territory.
This encounter with Prayer Glow caused White Speak to lose almost half of its Favored Believers. This would affect its rate of collection of faith power in the future.
White Speak intended to increase its power before it went with Lin Yuan to the Marsh East Circle to attend the Banquet of Everything.
…
Lin Yuan had been away from the underground palace for a day.
Jin Qianxun had sent many messages today, but Su Yiren had only replied to them and not answered any of Jin Qianxun’s questions because Lin Yuan was not around.
Su Yiren guessed that Jin Qianxun must be in a quagmire of complicated emotions at the moment.
It was likely that he was afraid of being tossed aside by Lin Yuan.
Su Yiren also had no idea what was running through Lin Yuan’s mind.
But given what she had learned about him, she felt that he would have been straightforward if he had no intention of fulfilling his promise to Jin Qianxun. He would not mercilessly leave Jin Qianxun hanging.
Currently, Jin Qianxun did not have an ounce of value.
As Su Yiren waited in Lin Yuan’s room, she saw that a message had come through on the Thoughts Letter Paper.
[Lin Yuan: I’m sorry! I was held back for a day because of one of my people, which caused you to wait for so long. To make it up to you, I’ll give you the chance to pick 50 of the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls.]
Su Yiren’s eyes widened when she saw the words on the Thoughts Letter Paper.
It turned out that Jin Qianxun did have value. Lin Yuan even allowed him to earn 50 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls.
From Lin Yuan’s compensation, it was clear that he intended to value the promise.
Lin Yuan’s attitude toward Jin Qianxun set Su Yiren at ease.
If Lin Yuan fulfilled the promise of someone as insignificant as Jin Qianxun, it went without saying that he would do the same for someone like her who was in his inner circle.
Su Yiren guessed that Jin Qianxun would be holding onto the Thoughts Letter Paper tightly and anxiously as he awaited Lin Yuan’s reply.
The truth was just as Su Yiren guessed.
After a day on edge, Jin Qianxun forcefully suppressed his excitement after seeing Lin Yuan’s response on the Thoughts Letter Paper.
Otherwise, he would already have jumped up and started shouting in joy.
Lin Yuan’s compensation caused Jin Qianxun to explode with excitement.
He could pick 50 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls that were all the standard of Class 5 Creation Master resources.
But compared to such compensation, Jin Qianxun was delighted that Lin Yuan had not forgotten his promise.
If Lin Yuan broke the promise, there was nothing that Jin Qianxun could do about it.
Lin Yuan’s message gave Jin Qianxun the courage to consider the sight of himself sitting on the Great Lush Federation’s throne.
He was so excited that he replied to Lin Yuan’s message with a very long response.
When Lin Yuan read Jin Qianxun’s reply, he could sense how Jin Qianxun was feeling.
Lin Yuan decided not to reply to Jin Qianxun. Rather, he led Su Yiren and Liu Jie toward where the Great Lush Federation’s secret aristocratic families were residing.
Su Yiren was silent for a moment before she finally decided to speak. “Young Master, I don’t think Jin Qianxun will be able to hold the fort down if he enters the Great Lush Federation’s imperial court. Not only does he lack power, but more importantly, he also doesn’t have the will for the job.”
Su Yiren had not wanted to say this.
She and Jin Qianxun had dedicated their loyalties to Lin Yuan. By saying this, she was shining the light of suspicion on him.
However, she had always been the bridge of communication between Lin Yuan and Jin Qianxun.
If she did not inform Lin Yuan of the issues she had spotted, it could end up hurting Lin Yuan.
She came from a federation with a Class 5 Creation Master and was also the granddaughter of that Class 5 Creation Master. Thus, she was always able to see the big picture.
Jin Qianxun’s lack of power could be easily made up for. All he needed was an expert to accompany him and secure the situation.
But the key point was that Jin Qianxun did not have the will to hold down the fort.
Will and power were completely different matters.
This was why it was always said that rulers needed to be intimidating and resolute.
Yi Huailong was not strong either, but he had the authoritative air that Jin Qianxun lacked.
Although Yi Huailu was a Class 5 Creation Master, he was too mild-mannered to control the imperial court like Yi Huailong could.
Lin Yuan was also aware of this and had found a partner for Jin Qianxun long ago.
Bai Qinghuan was skilled at strategy and could not contribute much unless there was an ongoing battle.
Even if Bai Qinghuan was able to see the entire world as a chess game, she was still too young.
Without experience, her intelligence and resolution would be limited.
Lin Yuan did not intend to send Bai Qinghuan to Jin Qianxun so she could balance him out but so she could find a good school.
