Chapter 307: Rapid Retreat_1
"Uncle Ning, won’t you stay a little longer?" Chu Qin frowned as he spoke.
"No, no!" Ning Fengzhi shook his head, about to leave, when he suddenly turned back and said, "By the way, Chu Qin, the Hao Tian Clan not long ago suffered annihilation, and Yu Yuanzhen, the master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, was also killed by you! Now, the Martial Soul Hall is re-electing the upper three families, does your Jiuxin Haitang Sect want to join?"
"No need!" Chu Qin shook his head, "Uncle Ning, it’s good enough for you to participate, I believe your Seven Treasures Glaze Sect should definitely secure first place among the upper three families without a problem!"
"What, are you afraid that your Jiuxin Haitang Sect joining will snatch the first place from my Seven Treasures Glaze Sect?" Ning Fengzhi returned with a smile.
Chu Qin revealed a faint smile!
"I’m just kidding, Chu Qin, don’t take it to heart!"
Ning Fengzhi smiled indifferently and said no more, "Then, we’ll take our leave first!"
With that, Ning Fengzhi, accompanied by Sword Bone Douluo, quickly departed!
"Sect Master Ning is truly worthy of being the number one support-class Soul Master in the world, so gentle and modest, amiable and approachable!" Watching Ning Fengzhi’s retreating figure, Lin Dai spoke sincerely from her heart.
For some reason, upon hearing this, Chu Qin felt slightly uneasy, but he quickly smiled lightly and said, "Indeed, Uncle Ning is the idol of countless young girls’ hearts!"
"Your Majesty, you are too!" Lin Dai seemed to realize something was amiss, and quickly added, "No, that’s not right!"
"What’s not right?" Chu Qin asked with interest.
"Compared to Sect Master Ning, Your Majesty, you’re more like a male god!" Lin Dai said with a faint blush on her face.
"Lin Dai, are you saying that I’m more handsome than Uncle Ning?" Chu Qin asked with a smile.
"Mm-hmm!" Lin Dai nodded, "Your Majesty, in every aspect, you are superior to Sect Master Ning!"
"Go on, I’m all ears!" Chu Qin was even more delighted.
"In terms of age, you’re younger than Sect Master Ning, in terms of strength, you’re far superior to Sect Master Ning, a support-class Soul Sage, in terms of status, you are a kingly peerage and State Preceptor of the Tiandou Empire, whereas Sect Master Ning is but an honored guest!" Lin Dai said, "Also, in terms of personality, I prefer Your Majesty’s character much more!"
"Oh? What about my character?" Chu Qin grew even more curious.
"I dare not say it!" Lin Dai shook her head.
"Go on, say it!" Chu Qin said with a casual smile, "Uncle Ning is already gone!"
"Alright then! Although Sect Master Ning is modest and amiable, sometimes he is too slick, while Your Majesty, you are true to your emotions, daring to love and to hate!" Lin Dai spoke sincerely from her heart.
Chu Qin was overjoyed; he felt that apart from being close to the supremely beautiful woman he liked, nothing could be more delightful than receiving their praise!
"Is that so, turns out my Chu Qin is so outstanding!" Just then, the voice of Zi Ji sounded. Dressed in a form-fitting outfit and high-heeled boots, she walked over slowly!
"Zi Ji!"
"Sister Zi Ji!"
Both Chu Qin and Lin Dai called out in surprise and delight.
"Sister Lin Dai, since you think my Chu Qin is so outstanding, why not become his soul companion just like I did?" Zi Ji said with a charming smile.
Hearing Zi Ji’s words, Lin Dai immediately showed a shy blush, but inside, she was bursting with joy!
Yet Chu Qin’s brow furrowed slightly. He knew Zi Ji had just messed up his plans.
Being too eager for quick results often backfires!
Of course, this was under the assumption that Chu Qin didn’t know Lin Dai had long been in love with him!
Therefore, Chu Qin couldn’t help but pinch Zi Ji’s slender waist and then turned to Captain Lin Dai, "Captain Lin Dai, since Xiaowu and the others haven’t returned yet, I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll head back first!"
Having said that, Chu Qin took Zi Ji’s jade hand and walked towards the entrance of Azure Dragon Academy.
Lin Dai watched Chu Qin’s retreating figure and sighed softly, "It looks like His Majesty the Duke really doesn’t fancy me, otherwise, he wouldn’t have left like that at a crucial moment!"
"Junior sister, you’re wrong!" Just then, a voice as pleasing as music spoke up behind Lin Dai, who turned around to find it was Su Jin.
"Senior sister, what did you just say?" Lin Dai asked.
"I said, you got it wrong!" Su Jin replied.
"Where did I go wrong?"
"You said Chu Qin doesn’t fancy you, right? You’re mistaken!" Su Jin said with a gentle smile, "Chu Qin told me that although he’s a philanderer, he has high standards for people. If it’s not someone he takes a liking to, he won’t bother with them!"
"And just now, Chu Qin was very happy talking to you!" Su Jin added, "I think he’s interested in you but left in a hurry because Sister Zi Ji suddenly barged in. He’s probably worried that he’s been too abrupt in your presence and that you would reject him!"
"I wouldn’t reject him at all!" Lin Dai hurriedly asserted, "Senior sister, as I’ve said before, His Majesty Chu Qin is my lifelong pursuit!"
"Junior sister, you’re sharply intelligent when it comes to management but your EQ is still so low!" Su Jin replied, "Chu Qin doesn’t know you like him, you’ve never made your feelings clear!"
"But I’ve already hinted at it!" Lin Dai responded, "Weren’t my words just now a hint to him?"
"That’s not enough!" Su Jin replied, "Don’t worry, junior sister, I’ll help you!"
"Thank you, senior sister!" Lin Dai said happily, nodding.
Meanwhile, Chu Qin, holding Zi Ji’s hand, was walking into the Qinglong King’s Mansion.
"Pfft!"
All at once, Zi Ji covered her mouth and giggled.
"Zi Ji, what are you laughing at?" Chu Qin frowned and asked.
"I didn’t expect you to be shy, Chu Qin!" Zi Ji replied.
"This isn’t shyness! It’s a strategic retreat, to lure by feigning flight!" Chu Qin said with a casual smile.
"Yo yo yo, it looks like you’ve really fallen for both senior sisters Su Jin and Lin Dai at the same time! Well, that’s not surprising, after all, you took both Zhu Qing and Zhu Yun as well! Sisters, very nice!" Zi Ji said with a pursed smile.
"Zi Ji, you know?" Chu Qin said through gritted teeth, "Sometimes I really want to punish you properly and slap you hard across the face!"
Upon hearing that, Zi Ji wasn’t angry at all, but teased with a charming smile, "You’ve punished me often enough, haven’t you? But as for slapping me, do you have the heart to? If you do, you can slap me right now!"
Hearing this, Chu Qin raised his hand, as if to strike Zi Ji’s beautiful face, but midway he turned the hit into a caress and then lightly pinched her, ultimately giving up!
"Ah, Zi Ji, I truly have mixed feelings for you!" Chu Qin sighed.
"That’s more like it!" Zi Ji smiled faintly.
"Ah?" Chu Qin was slightly taken aback.
"Because only like this can I stand out among so many excellent sisters!" Zi Ji said with a smug smile.
Chu Qin pouted and turned his head away!
"What’s the matter?" Zi Ji took hold of Chu Qin’s elbow and said, "Isn’t it just because I interrupted your moment with Lin Dai? Worst comes to worst, I’ll give you another bottle of Dragon Tail Cocktail, it’s a simple matter!"
"No thanks, it’s not needed!" Chu Qin shook his head. Ever since he saw Stephen Lin drug Su Jin, he had given up on using such methods!
