Full-time Creation Master

Infected by Qin Wujiang's enthusiasm, Chu Ming couldn't wait to take a bite, seemingly unafraid of being poisoned!

Hmm~`·

The rich aroma of the braised pork instantly exploded on his tongue. His eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, his words muffled, "This flavor is absolutely amazing!"

Seeing that Chu Ming didn't show any abnormality, Leng Lingling opened her cherry lips and tasted the authentic Shaanxi-style roujiamo (meat sandwich).

Watching Chu Ming and Leng Lingling enjoy their meal, Qin Wujiang, feeling validated, quickly finished most of his steamed bun and couldn't help but sigh:

"I just can't believe anyone doesn't like roujiamo (Chinese hamburger)!"

"By the way, don't believe those pirated roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) pictures online, they're not authentic!"

"It's rare to see roujiamo made with such traditional techniques these days. This shop has been passed down for generations."

"I've been eating this since I was a child..."

.......

They ate and talked at the same time.

Chu Ming also realized that it was Feng Lei Yalong, who was on his side keeping watch, who had attracted Qin Wujiang!

However, Qin Wujiang's unexpectedly talkative nature was also unexpected!

They even told the two of their most confidential secrets, practically begging to reveal everything!

"I feel that this Uncle Qin is an outlier among aristocratic families!"

Leng Lingling whispered to Chu Ming, "How can such a brute be the clan leader?!"

I always thought that clan leaders were either kind and amiable old men or treacherous and selfish ones…”

"I'm surprised too!" Chu Ming replied.

S.H.I.E.L.D. really can't get any intelligence on the Qin family, Liu family, Tang family, and other families!

Therefore, no one expected that the Qin family patriarch would be such an upright and honest person!

Qin Feng, the next generation's young clan leader, is a perfectly normal (representative of a noble family's scion)!

However, its power is so great that it can distort the mental cultivation of almost everyone else; it cannot be faked!

Moreover, shouldn't we say it truly lives up to its reputation as a forbidden spell?

This gave Chu Ming a sense of threat!

It was as if the twelve monarch-level undead vampires guarding the shadows didn't exist at all...

"Haha~~~"

Qin Wujiang suddenly laughed heartily, "I knew you must be talking about me? Me, this brute clan leader?"

Chu Ming and Leng Lingling froze instantly, their expressions somewhat awkward.

Chu Ming coughed lightly, trying to ease the sudden awkward atmosphere.

"Uncle Qin, you're joking."

We were simply admiring your generosity and straightforwardness, which is truly rare in this circle filled with powerful families and cunning individuals.

Qin Wujiang waved his hand, his smile growing even brighter, showing no sign of annoyance at being offended.

"It's alright, it's alright. I know what kind of person I am."

From a young age, he was told by his clansmen that he was too straightforward and lacked the profound demeanor expected of a clan leader.

But I just feel that it's better to be honest and straightforward in life; going through all the twists and turns is too tiring.

He took another big bite of the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), the juice dripping down the corner of his mouth, but he didn't care and just wiped it away casually.

He then said, "Don't underestimate my rough and tumble ways!"

Sometimes, this personality trait can actually get a lot done.

Those old foxes, when they first started dealing with me, all thought they could control me!

In the end, I still completely controlled them.

A hint of curiosity flashed in Leng Lingling's eyes. Was this a case of things going to extremes and then reversing?

Is this true of Zhu Meng, and also of the Qin family patriarch?

Leng Lingling couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Qin, are you also this straightforward when making decisions in the clan?"

Is it this tough on its own internally as well?

Aren't you afraid of incurring the displeasure of the clan elders?

Qin Wujiang threw his head back and laughed loudly, the sound so hearty that it made the surrounding air tremble slightly.

"Elders, we were indeed dissatisfied at first."

But as time went on, they realized that I couldn't change my personality.

Moreover, most of the decisions I make are for the good of the family, so I gradually came to accept them.

Furthermore, the Qin family's current status is not due to any empty tricks, but to genuine strength! It's due to the Qin family's ancestral iron will and fearless willingness to sacrifice!

Chu Ming nodded thoughtfully, his opinion of Qin Wujiang subtly changing.

I originally thought he was just a simple-minded warrior, but now it seems that the Qin family patriarch is actually wise beyond his years, with his own unique philosophy of life and way of governing the family.

The world does indeed progress in a tortuous and spiraling manner. In an era where everyone is scheming and despicable, this kind of reckless person is actually a good way out!

Qin Wujiang's smile faded, his expression turned solemn, and his gaze shifted back and forth between Chu Ming and Leng Lingling as he slowly spoke: "You must be wondering why I'm being so open with you two."

I'm not one to play riddles, so I'll just say it straight!

To be honest!

The reason I directly showed my goodwill by sending out carriages and horses is because I sensed a kindred spirit in you~~~~

Unconsciously, Qin Wujiang strengthened the effect of his mental guidance before speaking, "We are all guardians of the Holy Totem."

For generations, my Qin family has worshipped the dragon pearl of the sacred totem Azure Dragon, shouldering the responsibility of protection!

And I can sense that, Chu boy, you possess an aura related to the Holy Totem.

Moreover, intense heat and warmth must be Lord Suzaku's hallmarks!

Chu Ming felt a chill run down his spine and instinctively tensed up. Leng Lingling also looked surprised. The two exchanged a glance and both saw shock in each other's eyes.

Chu Ming hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded: "Uncle Qin, your eyes are sharp. I do indeed have the mark of the Sacred Totem Vermilion Bird on my body."

Upon hearing this, a glint of excitement flashed in Qin Wujiang's eyes.

"Okay! Okay!"

In the two great wars two thousand years ago and one thousand years ago, many sacred totems were almost completely lost in order to protect humanity.

Every sacred totem that survives today is a beacon of hope for humanity.

Our Qin family's ancestral precepts dictate that we must not only protect the Azure Dragon Pearl, but also find a new generation of totem guardians and assist them in collecting "Spiritual Essence" to nourish the Dragon Pearl and perpetuate the power of the Azure Dragon.

However, his descendants were incompetent, and of the 318 places that the First Emperor had transformed with the full power of the country, which were capable of generating "spiritual essence and sacred source" later in life, almost one-tenth of them still exist today!

In some places, the guardian families have long been extinct!

Because of our ancestral precepts, my Qin family is not allowed to actively or intentionally inquire about the information of other guardian families, therefore...

"Then do you know Mo Fan's identity?" Chu Ming asked curiously.

As for the Spiritual Essence and Sacred Source, Chu Ming does know about it!

In the world history of emperors such as Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han, and Emperor Taizong of Tang, who were frantically pursuing immortality in their later years, the spiritual essence and sacred source appeared as a rare tribute and elixir of life!

Legend has it that the Spiritual Essence Source, also known as the "Spiritual Essence Source Dew," gathers the most refined magical energy and spiritual power in the world.

Its essence is like ancient divine dew, naturally hidden in the most mysterious and secluded place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is most abundant.

Moreover, when specific rare spiritual materials are gathered, such as the priceless Earth Vein Spirit Milk or the invaluable Emperor's Essence, etc., as raw materials, and a person proficient in ancient secret arts performs a wondrous incantation, it can also be artificially refined.
