Special Expert of Beauty CEO-Chapter 1564 - 1568: See You in the Imperial City, Teacher Xu

In response to Xu Junwei's praise, Qin Tian merely smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Xu, this was merely luck. It happened that Xuan Ye and Fu Long from the Soul Suppressing Hall were not around. If they were here, and teamed up, I surely wouldn't be a match for them."

After a pause, Qin Tian continued, "Now, let's discuss your departure from East Capital City. Given the current situation in East Capital City and the fact that you've been exposed, Mr. Xu, you can't stay here any longer. I will arrange for your departure soon."

"At such a crucial juncture, you can still arrange for me to leave the city?" Xu Junwei was taken aback.

Qin Tian laughed heartily and said, "Mr. Xu, have you forgotten that I am the East Gate General?"

"Oh, I did forget about that. Well, I'll leave it entirely to your arrangements, then," Xu Junwei replied.

Qin Tian asked, "Mr. Xu, once you leave East Capital City, where do you plan to go?"

"Imperial City."

It seemed Xu Junwei had already made up his mind: "I visited Imperial City twice back in the day. That place is truly full of hidden talents that ordinary people can only look up to. Since I can't stay in East Capital City, I should return to Imperial City to report to Long Yin. Lonely Wolf, don't worry, I will recommend you to be in charge of Long Yin's affairs in East Capital City..."

"Mr. Xu, you mustn't!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian was startled and quickly intervened, "Mr. Xu, my codename is Lonely Wolf because I prefer to go my own way. Given my current influence in the City Guard Army, there are many eyes on me. If I get further involved with Long Yin, the chances of being discovered are too high."

"Moreover, with the entire East Capital City on high alert, sending someone from Long Yin here might not be feasible. If the person is like Divine Sword, our efforts would be in vain..."

Qin Tian looked at Xu Junwei, who nodded, "You're right, I was careless. How about this: once I return to Imperial City, I'll report your deeds as 'Lonely Wolf' and arrange for irregular contacts with you in the Imperial City, face to face, handled personally by me. How does that sound?"

"That sounds perfect."

Qin Tian nodded, "But Mr. Xu, your appearance is recorded by the Soul Suppressing Hall..."

"Don't worry. I'll simply disguise myself, ensuring that ordinary members of the Soul Suppressing Hall won't recognize me."

They exchanged smiles and agreed that three days later, Xu Junwei would disguise himself and hide in Qin Tian's carriage, with Qin Tian personally escorting him out of the East Gate.

Qin Tian, as the East Gate General, took Xu Junwei out of the city without any issues and escorted him thirty miles out, confirming safety before bidding farewell at the foot of a hill.

"Qin Tian, you are no ordinary person. I am certain that someday you will come to Imperial City. I'll be waiting for you there. See you in Imperial City!" Xu Junwei bowed to Qin Tian before departing.

"See you in Imperial City."

Qin Tian hesitated for a moment before responding.

What Xu Junwei said resonated with him; Imperial City was indeed his next destination in his heart.

...

The citywide manhunt for Long Yin continued. After sending away Xu Junwei, Qin Tian felt relieved of one concern. In the coming days, he focused on solidifying and enhancing his cultivation while keeping an eye on Bai Xiuqin and Du Yun's group.

As Qin Tian grew closer to the four, he learned more about them.

Bai Xiuqin was evidently deeply concerned when Wang Yushan had his accident, but since then, Qin Tian had found no flaws when conversing with her. With a child already over ten years old, she seemed to prioritize her family, lacking the ambition and aspirations one would expect from someone connected with Long Yin.

Qin Tian then turned his attention to Du Yun, Du Yiheng, and Du Fang. He later found out that Du Yiheng had previously participated in the encirclement of two Long Yin members in East Capital City, having once pursued a Long Yin member over eight hundred miles with another general to claim a victory, leading to promotions. Therefore, Qin Tian ruled Du Yiheng out.

This left Du Yun and Du Fang, the two sisters who remained somewhat enigmatic to Qin Tian.

The two sisters came from a wealthy family in East Capital City and had contrasting personalities: Du Yun was almost entirely solitary, while Du Fang was lively. However, Qin Tian sensed a deep cunning in her, unable to discern her true identity.

Analyzing their family backgrounds, both in their thirties, Du Yun was still unmarried, and Du Fang had remained single after her former husband died in battle, leaving little to no flaws to be found.

"Could it be Du Yun?"

Between the two sisters, Qin Tian leaned towards Du Yun being White Fox.

Yet, after careful consideration, Qin Tian found it difficult to devise any method to reveal Du Yun's true identity, especially with the current calls to eliminate Long Yin. Even if Du Yun were White Fox, given Wang Yushan's fate upon exposure, she would never acknowledge it.

After agonizing for over ten days, Qin Tian could only give up.

He understood clearly that currently in East Capital City, there should only be two Long Yin members left: Lonely Wolf and White Fox.

Both were on long-term missions, lying low in East Capital City, awaiting the opportune moment to act.

...

"Boss, something's happened! Something big!"

That day, as Qin Tian returned from training in the mountains, he had just arrived at the Qin residence when Xiao Zhuang hurriedly informed him.

Qin Tian saw that Xiao Zhuang, Zhao Lanjin, Lin Yu, and Zhou Yang were all waiting in the conference hall, which stunned him: "Oh my, what on earth has happened to alarm all of you?"

"The Governor's Mansion summoned you for an urgent meeting, but you couldn't be found, so old Zhao attended on your behalf. Governor Xiao said that as soon as you return, you must go to see him immediately. According to old Zhao, Governor Xiao might reprimand you for this incident of being unreachable..."

Lin Yu spoke and then turned to Zhao Lanjin, "Old Zhao, you explain what happened."

Zhao Lanjin stepped forward and solemnly said to Qin Tian, "Boss, the Dragon Clan has started mobilizing again. This time, Long Tianwu is personally leading an army of three hundred thousand, forming ranks at the East State River, preparing for a large-scale invasion! Fresh intelligence from the front lines arrived this afternoon. Currently, both the governor and city lord are deliberating this, and also reporting to Imperial City. According to the governor, in comparison to the Dragon Clan's forces, it's likely that our City Guard Army will mobilize in full force, except for the necessary city guards."

"Alright, you better head to the Governor's Mansion. If you're any later, Governor Xiao might be furious with you."

Shaken from his shock, Qin Tian immediately decided to take Zhao Lanjin along with him to the Governor's Mansion.

On the way, Zhao Lanjin explained the sudden developments to Qin Tian.

The matter was straightforward: Long Tianwu had gained full control over the Dragon Clan and wielded an army of a million Dragon Clan soldiers. This time, she intended to advance further and directly annex East State!

"It's possible that during our meeting, bad news from the battlefield by the East State River might come through..."

Standing outside the Governor's Mansion, Zhao Lanjin expressed his deep concern to Qin Tian, "After all, it's Long Tianwu leading the army herself, with three hundred thousand troops. Previously, our East State soldiers were traumatized by this woman with just an army of about ten thousand..."
