Naming Technique of the Night-Chapter 753 - 441. Qing Chen’s Method_2

Qing Yuan didn’t know when the other party had left.

However, the humility that Qing Yuan had earlier disappeared, and it seemed even the fear he displayed was just for show.

"Shadow probably couldn’t find my true form, so that’s why he needed to find this puppet of mine wandering outside, to strike at me?" Qing Yuan analyzed meticulously, "The opponent must have only recently learned about my Time Traveler’s avatar, and there’s a bluffing element in the language he used to strike at me."

Then, if even the Shadow couldn’t locate his true form, why should he still be afraid?

Qing Yuan’s expression was as calm as water, utterly tranquil.

However, a great weight lifted from his heart, regardless of whether the Shadow could directly threaten him. After all, the Shadow was the true ruler of the Inner World.

As a Shadow Candidate, there really was no need to offend the current Shadow.

So, he would go to Taboo Land No. 065.

And as for hunting a B-Class Expert of the Jindai Clan, it seemed not as difficult as imagined.

With that thought, Qing Yuan surveyed his surroundings and then quickly departed.

...

...

Qing Wu walked alone on the street when, the next moment, he saw a black figure standing ahead and spoke softly, "Mr. Shadow."

Shadow briefly said, "Go to Taboo Land No. 065, kill a B-Class Expert of the Jindai family."

However, something unexpected happened, Qing Wu, with a hint of confusion, asked, "Didn’t you want me to stay here, peacefully cultivating, and then handle those Clan members who are plotting against you...?"

Shadow: "Just do it."

After speaking, Shadow turned and left, not giving Qing Wu any time to react!

A few minutes later, the phone in the pocket of this Shadow began to vibrate.

He picked it up but heard Shadow’s voice from the phone, "If you dare impersonate me again, I’ll use Luo Wanya to plant Realm camellia."

Qing Chen: "… You told me to figure out a way myself. There are so many experts in the Jindai family, and I’m just a C-Class, how could I handle so many experts alone? Of course, I needed to find some help."

Shadow spoke coldly, "Is this your idea of a solution? I’ve handled Qing Wu’s situation for you, but don’t let me catch you impersonating me again. If it weren’t for Qing Wu phoning me to confirm his identity, I might have had to wait until you’ve deceived all the candidates before I found out about this?"

"Hahaha, more people, more lively," Qing Chen said awkwardly.

Honestly, Qing Chen didn’t expect to be exposed so quickly.

Because he had never thought that Qing Wu was actually Shadow’s man.

Indeed.

Among the nine Shadow Candidates, some fake death, some use puppets, some are little but clever, some chase stars, so why couldn’t there be a mole of the Shadow?

And the role of this mole, Qing Wu, seemed to be to set a label of a martial addict and then to root out those factions that were suppressed by Shadow and harbored resentments.

Shadow was indeed ruthless and extremely cunning.

Who could have guessed?

Shadow was angry, not because he was impersonated, but because Qing Wu inadvertently revealed something that made him angry.

The martial addict might truly be absorbed in martial arts, but the Shadow Candidate might not genuinely be contending.

The purpose of Qing Wu in the battle for the position of Shadow had been different from the beginning from others.

Maybe, Shadow had made a deal with Qing Wu regarding some cultivation heritage? Or perhaps Shadow had already won Qing Wu over with his personal charm?

These were things Qing Chen would never know.

Shadow said on the phone, "Remember my warning."

Qing Chen hung up the phone cheerfully.

You tell me to figure out my own way, why do you make me give it up as soon as I come up with a solution?

...

...

Qing Wen finished his day’s schedule.

He had dinner today with several representatives of Qing’s Family elders who expressed their support at the table and provided some crucial information.

For example, Shadow wanted the young Inspector called Qing Chen to take over the Spy Bureau.

For example, by all means, do not use extraneous methods against Qing Yi.

For example, some were supporting Qing Wu, and it was better not to have direct conflicts with Qing Wu in the third round of the battle for Shadow.

The information was very useful but also left Qing Wen extremely exhausted.

At this moment, it was already 2 a.m., and he could only sleep for another four hours before getting up, freshening up, and going to work at Intelligence Department Three.

As a Shadow Candidate, he couldn’t afford to show any weakness.

He returned to his upscale residence in District Three, entering his mansion with the escort of his bodyguards.

He collapsed into bed and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Qing Wen suddenly sat up, his phone lit up, and an unknown contact sent him a video request.

As soon as he accepted, what appeared but the familiar black mask and black cap: "Asleep?"

Qing Wen’s body jolted, "Mr. Shadow?"

The familiar yet foreign voice was indeed Mr. Shadow’s.

The Shadow, looking cheerful in the video, said, "Surprised I called you?"

Qing Wen nodded, "You’re so busy, how could you have time to personally call me? Whatever it is, you could just have Qing Ye tell me."

Shadow shook his head, "What personally or not personally, you’re the candidate I favor the most; I’ve always been watching over you."

Qing Wen brightened in the darkness, "Really? You’ve been watching over me? I... when I was in City 18, I didn’t handle that matter with Qing Zhong properly; I didn’t intend for him to die..."

Qing Wen was somewhat flustered facing Shadow, stuttering as he reflected on his gains and losses.

Shadow said, "What battle for Shadow doesn’t have casualties? It’s quite normal. The person sitting in the position of Shadow naturally needs to be ruthless. Go and contend with confidence; I’ll be watching you."

Qing Wen curiously asked, "Did you come here tonight for something?"

Shadow replied, "A new task for you."

Qing Wen was momentarily stunned.

Shadow continued, "It’s related to the task of bringing Qing Mu back home. I want you to reach the small town outside Taboo Land No. 065 and closely monitor the information on the Jindai family. As long as you can kill a B-Class Expert from the Jindai family, I will give you special consideration when the next round of tasks begins, getting you ahead at the starting line."

Qing Wen was excited, "Thank you so much, I will definitely complete the task perfectly this time."

After hanging up, Qing Wen’s expression turned solemn, and he called his bodyguard, handing over the phone, "Check the origin of the call, see if you can trace it."

Qing Wen didn’t sleep anymore, instead waiting for the results.

By dawn, the bodyguard returned, "Boss, it’s untraceable."

Qing Wen threw the phone into the fireplace in the living room and burned it, just in case it was tampered with during the time it was taken out.

He sat silently in front of the fireplace, watching the flickering flames, "It seems it truly was Shadow."

All candidates sought by ’Shadow’ had their doubts, but none could confirm.
