Chapter 728: Chapter 327 I never bear grudges; I’m very magnanimous!_2

Ningtuo was like the King of Hell marking names on the book of life and death, sealing the fate of whoever he pointed at.

In just a few breaths, seven high-ranking officials were dead on the spot within the room.

The remaining officials stood frozen in place, holding their breath, not daring to utter a word.

Han Kang stood there, his head buzzing.

Because among the dead officials, three were from the Province Cabinet.

One of them was his immediate supervisor, someone he had to look up to with utmost caution.

Yet now, he had fallen just like a dead dog.

How could his heart not be filled with shock and fear?

Qi Yuan and that coquettish young lady were terrifying to such an extent.

"I suddenly feel like composing a poem," at that moment, Qi Yuan was struck by poetic inspiration, lost in thought, "The inner treasury burns to brocade ashes, the bones of nobles pave the Sky Street."

The officials present hadn’t heard this line of poetry before, but their faces changed dramatically.

Being learned men, they naturally understood the meaning behind this line.

"Excellent verse... excellent verse..." the head of the Province Cabinet shakily stood out, trembling as he offered praise.

To be honest, even when facing people from the Seven Martial Stars Clan, he had never been so obsequious.

Han Kang quickly stood out and said, "Such fine poetry, a complete scene, Mr. Qi... truly has a great talent."

Seeing this, three or four other officials stood up to offer their praise as well.

It was as if by praising Qi Yuan’s poetry, he would spare them.

Such flattery made Qi Yuan somewhat embarrassed.

"I didn’t write this poem."

Qi Yuan was very honest and never wanted to take credit for someone else’s work.

Blue Star wasn’t destroyed yet, so if he was caught plagiarizing, wouldn’t that be socially fatal?

"The sonorous recitation of poetry, with pronounced cadence, resonates with profound impact, truly exuding the demeanor of a sage!" Another official seized the opportunity to flatter.

Qi Yuan found this amusing when he heard it.

"No wonder the ancient emperors liked flattery so much."

At that moment, Qi Yuan’s gaze fell on the secretary standing beside Han Kang.

"Why don’t you flatter me too, give me something to laugh about?"

Han Kang’s secretary’s face instantly turned sourer than if he were crying, and his body couldn’t help but shiver.

"Don’t be afraid, I’m a very positive person, I never hold grudges.

Although last time you claimed Martial Cloud Pavilion belonged to your family, what you said reflected the reality, which cannot be changed. The only one to blame is me... for being too poor to buy Vault Star.

Otherwise, I would have retorted right then and there."

Hearing Qi Yuan’s words, the secretary’s face went deathly pale, showing an expression uglier than crying.

"Mr. Qi... I was wrong," the secretary wished he could go back to a few days ago and tear his own mouth for saying such things in a moment of folly.

"Don’t make that face, you did nothing wrong, you were right, it’s my lack of capability... sigh, with you like this, wouldn’t it appear as if I’m a petty braggart who resorts to violence when I can’t win an argument?" Qi Yuan couldn’t help but say.

He always prided himself on being reasonable.

Never resorting to violence when he could settle things through reason.

Convincing through logic!

Yet, in this secretary’s imagination, was he some sort of killing god who would slaughter an entire family?

Seeing Qi Yuan’s reaction, the secretary collapsed on the floor, too terrified to speak.

"Sigh," Qi Yuan couldn’t help but lament, "I rather liked you when we first met, with that unyielding look about you.

Unfortunately, in just a few short days, society has worn away your edges, you’ve had it hard."

The people around wanted to laugh but dared not.

The secretary looked as miserable as if his mother had died.

"Gentlemen, farewell for now. Having killed the young ones, I now have to accompany my wife to kill the older ones," Qi Yuan said as he wrapped his arm around Ningtuo’s soft waist.

Because Ningtuo was about to take him to the Capital City.

If he didn’t hold on tight, the journey would be slow.

Seeing this, the head of the Province Cabinet quickly said, "Mr. Qi, please wait a moment."

"Oh, what is it, do you want to flatter him for me?" Qi Yuan looked again at the secretary collapsed on the floor.

With that, every official threw the secretary a glance, and he felt a chill in his heart.

Then Qi Yuan continued, "I have always been reasonable, so don’t demote him just because he’s upright and refuses to flatter me.

Although he and I have had our disputes and grudges, I want to settle our scores personally. Don’t interfere!"

Qi Yuan had already planned when to save enough money to buy Vault Star.

He would show the "Star Deed" to the secretary, throwing harsh words in his face:

"Do you see? Vault Star is mine, and Martial Cloud Pavilion is yours... so what?"

Qi Yuan was still immersed in the fantasy of the future, growing happier the more he thought about it.

This kind of fantasy was naturally joyful, akin to a loser daydreaming about finally winning over the goddess.

At that moment, the head official said, "Mr. Qi, our Qin Yuan Nation’s Royal Family bears goodwill towards you, only there are some bad elements at the top of the Empire. This attack against you was all due to the Mu Family’s own doing."

The Qin Yuan Nation was ruled by the Royal Family, and to a certain extent, the Seven Martial Stars Clan held more power than even the Royal Family.

This head of the Province Cabinet was part of the Royal Family’s faction.

The Royal Family’s faction wanted to court Qi Yuan’s favor.

"Oh, I’m well aware of all that.

Do I look like a bloodthirsty maniac who would kill every single person from the Seven Martial Stars?

No, I’m a kind person; I believe in repaying kindness with kindness and bearing grudges when wronged. The most I would do is eradicate Mu Family’s entire household."

The officials lowered their heads, some couldn’t help but gasp.

The Mu Family in the Capital City numbered in the thousands, if not tens of thousands with all its branches.

So on the towering tree of Qin Yuan Nation, many parasites draw blood.

To annihilate the entire Mu Family and yet not be considered bloodthirsty.

"You’re all too naive; I once knew someone who was truly bloodthirsty.
