Special Expert of Beauty CEO-Chapter 1418 - 1422: Clues to Cao Taiji’s Death

Qin Tian was constantly watching Xu Junwei during the meeting, but Xu Junwei remained expressionless and impartial, standing there until the meeting ended and everyone left.

After the meeting, Wang Haoran and Wang Tinghu wanted to go for drinks, but Qin Tian didn't join them. He stayed in the dorm, tossing and turning in thought.

He suddenly thought of the dangerous talent and bloodline tests he faced upon entering East Han Academy, and wondered if they were somehow connected to Xu Junwei.

"That's it. My cultivation immortality talent had always been unmeasurable, yet Teacher Xu managed to measure it for me, which is quite abnormal!"

"Moreover, my bloodline, being mixed with several major races, should have been detectable given the power of Teacher Xu. Yet the final result was normal, and I passed unharmed!"

Thinking of this, Qin Tian's eyes suddenly lit up.

Previously, he thought it was mere luck, but now it seems it wasn't luck at all—someone was secretly helping him!

"It must be so. Then, is Teacher Xu Long Yin?"

Qin Tian began to boldly speculate.

Since entering East Han Academy, Xu Junwei should surely be aware of his cultivation immortality talent and bloodline situation.

If he's chosen to protect him without revealing it, and even stepped out last night when it was most dangerous to lead away pursuing soldiers from Qin Tian,

this series of actions can only mean Xu Junwei is Long Yin! Part of the same group!

After coming to this realization, Qin Tian felt very excited. Without hesitation, he went directly to the teacher's building to wait for Xu Junwei.

Seeing Xu Junwei walk out of the teacher's building, Qin Tian did not immediately approach him but instead followed him, trailing Xu Junwei out of East Han Academy.

Xu Junwei walked alone slowly towards a "Ming Yue Tea House" south of East Han Academy and directly went up to a private room.

Qin Tian followed him up as well. Just as he reached the second floor, he encountered Xu Junwei standing in the corridor, and the two came face to face.

"Kid, you've tracked me from East Han Academy to here, what do you intend?" Xu Junwei stared at Qin Tian, speaking coldly.

Qin Tian looked at Xu Junwei and said, "Thank you, Teacher Xu, for your help last night!"

"What are you talking about? Last night? What did I do last night? I was reading at home, did I help you with anything?" Xu Junwei's face remained unchanged.

Qin Tian was stunned, not expecting Xu Junwei to still not reveal his identity in such a deserted place.

"Teacher Xu, you've helped me several times, do you still intend to hide your identity?"

Qin Tian pursed his lips, "You helped me during the entrance tests, and again last night. Do you really expect me to be so foolish as not to know anything?"

Qin Tian spoke so bluntly that Xu Junwei glanced around, took a deep breath, and said, "Follow me."

With that, Xu Junwei led Qin Tian to an extremely secret room at the back of the tea house.

The room contained only the two of them.

Xu Junwei turned his back to Qin Tian and quietly muttered, "White Eternal!"

Qin Tian was perplexed, "Hmm? Teacher Xu, what did you say?"

"Ha, now that you know your identity, do you not even know the most basic codeword?"

Xu Junwei turned around, looking at Qin Tian, and said, "The Dragon King's last words, White Eternal, these four words are the emblematic code of Long Yin. Of course, it's not a meeting password, but simply our belief."

Xu Junwei stared at Qin Tian, "I didn't expect you to participate in East Han Academy's selection without cultivation immortality talent, with such a pronounced bloodline, you dared to take such a risk. Tell me, who's your superior? Who assigned you your task?"

"I... superior? Task?"

Qin Tian was completely puzzled. He understood these were terms for an undercover operation, but his original intent to participate in East Han Academy's selection was simply to become stronger. He had no superior or task!

Indeed, before coming, he didn't even know his bloodline and lineage, nor did he know his identity. Where would he have a superior?

"Teacher Xu, I have no superior, and I don't know what task you're talking about. I've only recently discovered that I'm a Long Yin." Qin Tian thought for a moment and confessed truthfully.

"Oh?"

Xu Junwei was clearly surprised upon hearing Qin Tian's words, "No wonder you are so reckless!"

Xu Junwei let Qin Tian sit down, poured him a cup of tea, and frowned, "In that case, you ought to be a member of the family associated with the Dragon King long ago?"

Qin Tian looked at Xu Junwei, hesitant about whether to reveal his true identity.

He recalled Cao Taiji's previous words that he was the Dragon King's only son left from before, an identity that could be considered extremely noble. If his identity were exposed, he might be in even more danger!

After some hesitation, Qin Tian nodded, "It seems so. That's what my master told me, but my master doesn't know exactly what my identity is either. He was entrusted to raise me."

Qin Tian told a lie; his instincts told him that his identity as the Dragon King's son should not be revealed to anyone for now.

"Years ago, the Dragon King's family was wiped out, with the Dragon King's three sisters all having children, the Yan Queen also had six sisters with children, even the Dragon King and Yan Queen had children... The Dragon King's residence was surrounded by the Forbidden Army at that time, over seven hundred people were killed. I suspect you might be a child from the Yan Queen's family. Both the Dragon King and Yan Queen's families possess the Dragon Flame Clan bloodline."

Xu Junwei slowly analyzed.

"The body I took last night was my master's. Teacher Xu, my master said he recently needed to meet with an old friend of Long Yin to inform him about my identity. Do you know if any Long Yin in East Capital City recently planned to meet with a stranger?"

Qin Tian asked.

"I don't know about the Long Yin from elsewhere, but in East Capital City, there are very few Long Yin. Recently... no one has reported plans to meet with a stranger."

Xu Junwei spoke, his eyes lighting up, and looking at Qin Tian: "Looks like your master was deceived by someone from Soul Suppressing Hall masquerading as Long Yin!" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Impossible," Qin Tian shook his head, "My master said he knows that person for many years, I sensed from his tone, he seems very sure that person is truly Long Yin."

"Oh?"

Upon Qin Tian saying this, Xu Junwei pondered, thinking of something, and said in a deep voice, "According to what you said, your master must have encountered a traitor of Long Yin."

"Traitor!?" Qin Tian was startled.

"That's right. Early this year, a Long Yin from East Camp named 'Zi Feng' was exposed and captured alive by Soul Suppressing Hall's people. He couldn't withstand their brutal torture and betrayed his superior 'Ming Jian'. Haha, in the end, both Zi Feng and Ming Jian defected to the enemy!"

As Xu Junwei spoke, his indifferent face also revealed a hint of killing intent, "We've been planning to kill these two traitors for a year! Your master must have been killed by one of them!"
