Problem

"Ehmmm!!!" Xiao Zhu cleared his throat as he waved his hand forward and shook his head.

"No, I invited you here with good intentions," he said.

Just as he said that, Qin Yuan's golden eyes suddenly emitted a light that instantly enveloped Xiao Zhu's body.

The latter was startled and wanted to jump back, but the light had already disappeared first.

"He's not lying," said Qin Tian.

That was one of the Eye of Heaven's abilities, detecting a person's honesty through its light.

This wasn't the kind of technique Lin Bao and Xiao Zhu had never heard of, but as far as they knew, it was extremely difficult to master plus using it was also complicated.

They didn't expect Qin Tian to have it and be able to use it in such a simple way.

"What do you want to say to me?" Qin Tian then asked Xiao Zhu while stepping into the room without waiting for Xiao Zhu to ask him to enter.

Seeing him already enter there, Xiao Zhu immediately closed the door.

"Young master, I was actually sent here by my grandfather," he said very kindly because his grandfather said he'd break his legs if he left a bad impression on Qin Tian.

"Your grandfather? Why did he send you?" Lin Bao couldn't help but ask.

However, Xiao Zhu responded with sharp eyes towards him, as if to say don't interrupt and interrupt him talking.

Realizing that he was also interrupting Qin Tian, Lin Bao finally closed his mouth very tightly.

He glances at Qin Tian and lets out a sigh of relief as he sees he is still calm.

At this time, he stopped in front of the window, staring at the cityscape that was clearly visible from there.

Xiao Zhu approached him with steps that produced no sound at all and continued, "my grandfather said that he wants to help you, and will keep you informed of every plan of the Xiao Clan."

Hearing that, Lin Bao's mouth opened again, but this time he refrained from speaking.

Qin Tian, on the other hand, shifted his gaze to Xiao Zhu.

"Interesting, why would your grandfather do that?" he asked with narrowed eyes.

"He already disagreed with Patriarch. That man wants to continue fighting you while my grandfather disagrees. He believes that you are the Son of Heaven, fighting you will earn Heaven's wrath. Since he doesn't want to perish with Patriarch, he prefers this path." Xiao Zhu explained honestly without adding or subtracting information because he was worried about Qin Tian using that technique again to detect his honesty.

"Of course, I don't think my grandfather betrayed the clan because he has his own branch that needs saving," he added, giving his personal opinion.

"The old man is smart..." Qin Tian suddenly heard Lin Xueyin's voice in his head.

"Do you think there's a chance he's playing tricks?" Qin Tian asked him.

Although he didn't detect any lies from Xiao Zhu, he couldn't fully believe it.

What if Grand Elder Xiao was deliberately deceiving his grandson?

"You're not afraid of such a thing, are you?" Lin Xueyin replied while laughing softly.

"I'm never afraid of anything, you should remember that." Qin Tian was annoyed that the woman's answer was clearly with the intention of mocking him.

"I value your existence, which is why I asked for your opinion," he added.

Lin Xueyin was somehow silent after that.

It took a while before she replied, "yeah, I think you will still be helped whether the old man is sincere or not because he will give you the right information for the sake of gaining your trust anyway."

Qin Tian nodded after hearing that. He then said to Xiao Zhu. "You can tell your grandfather that I don't mind if he wants to help me... Then is there any information he can give you now?"

Xiao Zhu glanced at the window, at the Lin Clan area before answering, "yesterday, Patriarch ordered Xiao Ming to approach Lin Hu. They're close friends, so maybe Xiao Ming can get information from him."

"Ohhh..." Qin Tian smiled strangely when he heard that while Lin Bao widened his eyes. He then snorted and said, "huh, that Lin Hu is a cunning person, he's often jealous of other people's achievements. Young master, I think we need to do something about him."

Qin Tian did not reply as he communicated with Lin Xueyin again. "Is it possible for such a clan member to betray and give information to the enemy?"

"The one who promised at that time was the clan, so as a whole, punishment only falls if the entire clan disobeys. If there are two or three members who betray while the rest remain obedient, there will be no punishment. However, those who betrayed, although not getting direct punishment, but will get indirect punishment, will live an unlucky life all their lives." Lin Xueyin explained.

"I see..." Qin Tian held his chin and then looked at Lin Bao. "Send some people to watch Lin Hu's movements."

Lin Bao who had always regarded Lin Hu as a rival was instantly excited at Qin Tian's order.

This wouldn't be difficult for him. He only needed to order one of Lin Hu's followers who was a bit cowardly. He was sure that person would be obedient when he said that it was Qin Tian's order.

"By the way, there is still something else." Xiao Zhu suddenly spoke again so Qin Tian and Lin Bao looked at him.

"Our clan has cousins based in the Holy Cloud Kingdom, today, some of them will come to our clan," he said.

"What are they going to do?" When he heard that, Lin Bao became tense and alert.

The clan itself wasn't the problem, but the problem was the Holy Cloud Kingdom which had recently become very powerful, threatening the other kingdoms around it.

"I don't think even the Patriarch knows the reason for their arrival yet, so we can only wait," Xiao Zhu replied.

"Young master." Lin Bao looked at Qin Tian.

"I think there's a scheme here, it's possible that they were sent by the Holy Cloud Kingdom to set up an initial base before their attack," he said.

"Alright, let's wait for their arrival, I still want to take a walk." Qin Tian wasn't interested in thinking about that because the kingdom itself had nothing to do with him.

The only problem was his conflict with the Xiao Clan.

He just needed to be prepared in case their cousins challenged him as well.

After leaving the restaurant, he continued to wander around the city, followed by the Lin Clan soldiers.

At this moment, they arrived in front of a restaurant that seemed to be very elite as the security guards alone reached ten people. Each of them was a Junior Spiritual.

Qin Tian was intrigued because he smelled an extremely delicious aroma of meat from the restaurant.

Seeing Qin Tian's gaze, Lin Bao said, "would you like to eat there, young master? That restaurant just opened and I heard it belongs to the Mei Clan of the royal capital."

"Let's go there!" Qin Tian nodded as he was feeling hungry right now.

Right on the second floor of the restaurant, there were two women eating, they were naturally Yan Xue and Mei Mei.

"He came to my restaurant..." Mei Mei was surprised when she saw Qin Tian.

She then looked at Yan Xue. "Princess, do you want to see him?"

The question made Yan Xue's eyebrows move, she continued to stare at Qin Tian, appearing to be thinking.

After a while, she said, "this young man seems to be only 14 years old, I wonder what are the right words to start a conversation with him."

She was somewhat hesitant as her intention was to recruit Qin Tian into her kingdom.

What she was worried about was it failing because she said something wrong.

The problem was that Qin Tian was still too young, and with such talent, he would probably act like he was a great person.

"Princess, you worry too much." Mei Mei smiled wryly.

"You just need to tell him your intentions. If he's arrogant and looks down on you, there's no point in continuing to try to approach him. Remember that you were born with a Sky Flame Body, perhaps now you cannot master it yet, but when you can master that body, your strength will soar to an unimaginable point, this kingdom will no longer be your limit. There is no need to humble yourself for others, even if he is the Son of Heaven."

When talking about the Sky Flame Body, Mei Mei seemed excited.

Unfortunately, Yan Xue sighed.

"It's so difficult, I might not be able to master it until I die," she said in a low voice.

"Princess..." Yan Xue's words made Mei Mei sad because she knew the problems the princess was facing.

Born with that body, she should be destined to become a Goddess in the sky.

Unfortunately, the heavens were jealous and gave her a problem that she might not be able to overcome.

This problem stems from jealous members of the kingdom, who gave Yan Xue an evil poison when she was still a baby.

Although those people had already been eliminated and punished, unfortunately no one could overcome the poison. It was still lodged inside Yan Xue's body.

The only thing the kingdom could do was to suppress the poison so that Yan Xue could live a normal life but only with her bloodline talent, without being able to control the body that should be able to make her unrivaled in the Sacred Mountain Region.

After a few moments of silence, Yan Xue finally stood up.

"Let's go see him," she said, looking like she had gathered her resolve.
