Chapter 513: Chapter 513: Discussing the Engagement (4)

The moment his words fell, a burst of laughter came through the receiver.

"Hahaha! Patriarch Qin truly has an impressive spirit! I admire your methods and courage very much. However..."

The man’s tone hinted at something left unsaid, and Qin Dingshan sharply arched an eyebrow, asking loudly, "However, what? My Qin Family is a renowned aristocratic family; what is there to fear!"

"Er... Patriarch Qin has a commendable spirit. It’s just that, although the Qin Family’s influence is deeply rooted, if the An Family were to join forces with the Gu Family, it might be a bit troublesome. I believe, Patriarch Qin, that you currently need an ally, one that shares a common enemy."

After beating around the bush, the man finally revealed his true intentions.

A spark of insight flashed in Qin Dingshan’s aged eyes, tinged with a measure of wariness.

"Indeed, the Qin Family needs an ally, but I, Qin Dingshan, have no need for one with unclear origins!"

"Hahaha! Patriarch Qin is certainly cautious!" said the man with a soft laugh, followed by a light cough as he introduced himself, "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Tutian Xiaoquan, the eldest son of the Country Bai Tutian Family. Also, I am the mastermind behind the Canglang Sect!"

Qin Dingshan’s heart trembled, the Country Bai Tutian Family! The mastermind behind the Canglang Sect! When had Xuandu City unknowingly become a battleground for Country Bai’s martial factions?!

His mind racing with thoughts, Qin Dingshan broke out into a cold sweat in just a few seconds!

"Country Bai? The Tutian Family truly has a cunning plan, daring to stir up the martial world right under the nose of the Xuanjin Tianzi! Hmph! Mr. Tutian, I wonder what your family’s intentions are!" Qin Dingshan snorted coldly, having a vague idea of the Tutian Family’s motives.

While Patriarch Qin had speculated the Tutian Family’s goals, Tutian Xiaoquan was not the least bit intimidated. He replied with an easy smile, full of profound meaning, "Patriarch Qin, there has always been a deep conflict between Country Bai and Xuanjin, and the Xuanjin people also have deep misunderstandings about Country Bai."

The words of Tutian Xiaoquan were treasonous. If the ones listening to these words were Old Master An or Old Master Gu, they would, without a second thought, send troops to Country Bai to exterminate the Tutian Family. However, the person on the phone now was Qin Dingshan.

Regarding the tragic battles of decades past, Qin Dingshan had always maintained an indifferent attitude. It wasn’t his neck on the line, so what did it truly have to do with him? In this era where benefits reigned supreme, power, and money were what mattered the most.

Yet, even with such thoughts, Qin Dingshan still had to voice some reprimands.

"Mr. Tutian is truly extraordinary! The lives of so many people in Xuanjin Country dismissed with just a few strokes of your pen! I admire it, your family’s schemes are too deep for me to dare collaborate with you! I hope you understand!"

Qin Dingshan spoke with conviction, but if Tutian Xiaoquan didn’t know him well for his greed and love of profit, he might have been swayed by this apparent sense of national righteousness.

With a sneer in his heart and a trace of scorn flashing in his eyes, Tutian Xiaoquan thought to himself that Qin Dingshan was merely worried that collaborating with the Tutian Family was like seeking the skin of a tiger – dangerous and unwise. For such a man, as long as the benefits were laid out plainly, all that nonsense about national righteousness was nothing but crap!

"Patriarch Qin, I truly admire your integrity. However, the grudge between Country Bai and Xuanjin belongs to history’s unresolved issues. We who are alive shouldn’t dwell on it! Currently, the Canglang Sect and the Qin Family are in the same boat, having fled the city. Perhaps, the next target for Gu Yelin is your Qin Family! You see, under these circumstances, only the powerful Tutian Family can help the Qin Family! Don’t you agree?"
