I want to protect my family, but you force me to take the lead

"Injured? Things are not going well?" Qin Nuan frowned, a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Master, there is a little disturbance. They are all minor injuries and have been treated. They are not a big deal." Qin Shu replied with his head down, but his voice sounded a little heavy.

Qin Nuan looked at Qin Shu intently, then raised her head, her eyes fell on Qin Mo, and asked in a serious tone: "Qin Mo, what happened?"

Qin Mo sensed the anger in Qin Nuan's words, and could not help but lower his head and said in a deep voice: "It went smoothly at the beginning. We acted according to the plan and successfully got in.

However, just as we were about to leave with the three seniors, the situation suddenly changed.

A group of mysterious weirdos appeared before us.

These monsters looked like normal people, but they seemed to have no sense of pain, and their strength and speed were extremely amazing. We were caught off guard and suffered some minor injuries.

However, with the help of the three seniors, we finally defeated those weirdos, and then we hurried over to report to the head of the family."

Hearing this, Qin Nuan's face became even gloomier. She turned to look at Mi Lei, who was still in shock, and said coldly: "Mi Lei, you are really great!

If my guess is correct, that group of people should be test subjects from a laboratory in the United States, or perhaps they are still semi-finished products.

But their real purpose is not the resources of Daxia at all.

Instead, he wants to take the energy of the dragon for himself at a certain special time and rule the entire Blue Planet. Am I right?"

Hearing this, Mi Lei's face turned pale in an instant. He trembled and said, "I... I really don't know this. They promised that after conquering Daxia, they would assign a city to the Mi family and give me a large amount of cultivation resources. I..."

Qin Nuan waved her hand and interrupted Mi Lei: "No need to explain. The most urgent task now is to find out how much information the other party has about the dragon. Also, whether they will have other actions."

She looked at Qin Mo and Qin Shu, with a look of determination in her eyes: "You should start investigating this matter immediately and find out the culprit behind it! At the same time, contact Qin Yu and ask them to protect Shenlong and never let those people succeed."

Qin Mo and Qin Shu responded in unison: "Yes, Patriarch!"

Then, the two turned and left...

Mi Shiba naturally understood what was going on, and glared at his son Mi Lei in frustration, then looked at Qin Nuan and said kindly, "Master Qin, the most urgent task at this moment is to find out what the purpose of those people is.

Do you think it is possible to let this rebellious son of mine make amends for his crime? Don't worry, I will personally watch over him and make sure he doesn't cause any trouble."

Qin Nuan took a deep breath, looked up at the three gray-haired elders, and said slowly: "What do the three seniors think about this matter?"

When Mi Lei heard this, he remembered that his father had just said that Lord Shenlong was protecting the entire Blue Star, and he wanted to slap himself a few times.

Feeling the anger of the three old men, Mi Lei strode forward and bowed to apologize, "Three seniors, I was bewildered for a moment and lost my direction, causing you three to suffer injustice. It is my fault.

I accept the punishment. I only ask the seniors to show mercy and let me make up for my crime with meritorious service."

The three old men looked at each other, then looked up at Mi Shiba, whose face was filled with grief and whose eyes were still sparkling. They sighed and one of them slowly said, "Mi boy, considering that you have no intention of killing us three old guys, we will spare you for now.

However, if you have any ulterior motives or do anything that damages your status as a Dragon Guardian, we will deprive you of your qualifications as the Dragon Guardian's successor."

Mi Lei was slightly stunned.

Then he looked at his father apologetically and replied with a serious face, "Yes. Remember it, kid, we will start tomorrow."

After that, he bowed to Qin Nuan and thanked her: "Thank you, Master Qin, for showing mercy!"

Mi Lei secretly swore in his heart that he must seize this opportunity to wash away his shame.

The next day, Mi Lei got up early and began to investigate the whole incident.

Relying on his connections and wisdom, he collected clues everywhere and did not miss any details.

After several days of hard work, he finally found some clues - those mysterious people seemed to be related to an organization called "Shadow".

The organization operates in secret, with its aims and motives unknown.

Mi Lei decided to investigate the "Shadow" organization in depth and uncover the conspiracy behind them.

So, one morning, Mi Lei knocked on his father's door.

"But what did you find out?" Seeing Mi Lei's serious face, Mi Shiba asked quickly.

Mi Lei nodded, "Yes, father.

The son found out that those people had some connection with an organization called Dark Night.

I also heard a lot of news about Lord Shenlong.

This news came out of nowhere, and the timing was strange, as if someone had deliberately spread the news so that everyone would know. Father, I want to take a risk and go deep into the tiger's den to investigate."

Mi Shiba immediately raised his eyes upon hearing this, and looked at Mi Lei carefully. After thinking for a moment, he spoke: "This matter is of great importance. I need to discuss it with the heads of other families first. Come with me."

"As ordered."

It didn't take long.

In the reception room of Mi Zhuang.

Mi Shiba told everyone present exactly what Mi Lei was thinking, and then continued, "My kid wants to take a risk and sneak in to investigate secretly. But I always think that this news comes too coincidental, so I hope you can give me some advice."

"Mi Shiba, aren't you worried that we will plot against that brat in your family who occasionally loses his mind?"

"Mi Shiba, what do you mean by this? We are all still here! How dare you let a young man like me go to such a dangerous place. What exactly are you planning?"

Qin Nuan looked around and saw that four old men, who were six or seven hundred years old in total, were actually fighting and cursing at each other. It was too offensive to watch, so she simply closed her eyes and pretended not to see anything.

At the same time, a cold voice sounded in the reception room.

"Master Mi, you don't have to go. The news you heard all came from within the Shadow, and it is indeed true."

"what?!"

"what?!"

Mi Shiba exclaimed, "May I ask who you are?"

Qin Nuan raised his right hand slightly, and a dark shadow slowly emerged, saying in a low voice: "I am the right protector of Shadow."

Everyone was shocked and looked warily at the masked man who suddenly appeared in front of them.

The shadow leader ignored their hostility, walked up to Qin Nuan, and bowed: "Qin Jiu greets the head of the family."

Qin Nuan nodded calmly, and then asked: "Have those Shadow people made any moves recently? If there is any abnormality, report it immediately!"

"Yes."

After the masked Qin Jiu left, Mi Lei said with trembling lips: "He, he, he is also a member of the ancient Qin family?"
