Chapter 2357: Chapter 663: Gathering at the Bruch Residence (Part 4)
"What’s so bad about it? Ever since Haozi became the Purple-Gold Blood Emperor, we were destined to be enemies with the Magic Party." An Yiqing lazily leaned back against the car seat, "The Magic Party advocates territorial expansion. I don’t care what they’ve done in Western countries, but dreaming of entering Xuanjin to act recklessly, I won’t allow it. Since that’s the case, why should we resolve them early? Moreover, the Magic Party has been constantly harassing the Bruch Family recently, and both Haozi and Xiao Xue have been attacked several times. They’ve already exceeded my tolerance range."
Long Zixuan curled his lips, somewhat baffled as to whether the Magic Party people had lost their minds. Xia Hau is a once-in-a-century heir to the Purple-Gold Blood Emperor, inheriting all of Cain’s ancestral powers. Though not strong yet, he will eventually become a true Blood Emperor. Under his leadership, the Blood Clan will inevitably reach its peak. Why does the Magic Party keep attempting to assassinate Xia Hau in Xuanjin? Are they tired of living?
"Sister An, why do you think the Magic Party is so hostile towards Xia Hau?" Long Zixuan asked.
An Yiqing lowered her eyes in thought for a moment, gently shook her head, "I can’t figure it out either. At first, I thought Haozi, being the Purple-Gold Blood Emperor, threatened the Magic Party leader’s supreme position. But later, I felt it wasn’t quite right. They don’t seem to want to kill Haozi; rather, they only want to capture him alive. I’ll ask Old Prince Bruch about this the next time I get a chance; maybe he knows something."
Long Zixuan touched his nose, inwardly sighing that every family has its difficulties. To truly establish himself within the Blood Clan, Xia Hau still has a long way to go. He turned his head to glance at the driver beside him, wondering to himself if the driver, understanding Xuanjin Language, would be so scared by their conversation that he’d drive into a ditch.
The taxi driver felt the gaze coming from beside him, curiously glanced over, and found the handsome Dongfang young man grinning at him oddly. The driver felt a chill down his spine and subtly shifted to the side, pressing the gas pedal a bit deeper.
Shortly after, they arrived at the hotel, awkwardly walking through the entrance under the taxi driver’s strange gaze.
In the room was only Liao Jinglin. An Yiqing glanced at him curiously and asked, "Why are you back?"
Lying on the sofa pretending to be dead, Liao Jinglin sat up upon seeing An Yiqing, his eyes immediately lighting up, "Miss, you’re finally back. Brother Zhang and those two heartless ones went to inspect the branch company. I didn’t dare show my face, so I had to come back first."
Liao Jinglin looked bored, wondering when Xuanjin Yu Jade would move out into the open. When would he be crowned with the title of Xuanjin Yulong?
An Yiqing observed Liao Jinglin’s languid demeanor, a hint of guilt in her eyes, "Jinglin, this past year has been tough on you."
Jinglin, immersed in fantasies about the future, was taken aback and instantly snapped to reality. He shook his head repeatedly, "Miss, what are you saying? This is what I should do, and what I enjoy doing."
"Though that’s what you say, as a hidden card, you can’t receive any of Xuanjin Yulong’s glory, nor can you participate in any of its activities. Honestly, I feel very sorry. Thank you, Jinglin, for contributing so much to my career. Thank you." An Yiqing looked directly at Liao Jinglin, her eyes filled with sincerity.
Liao Jinglin looked at An Yiqing without speaking. Over the past year, as a hidden card placed outside Xuanjin Yulong, he felt a bit aggrieved, to be honest. But it wasn’t the lack of deserved glory that made him feel this way; rather, it was occasionally feeling like he and Zhang Yuksheng Xing Bin were people from different worlds. Similarly, there was also the powerless feeling of not being recognized by Xuanjin Yulong. However, during such times, he would recall all the moments with An Yiqing and Zhang Yuksheng Xing Bin—how they jointly established Yuyuanzhai, Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals, Xuanjin Yu Jade, and even Xuanjin Yulong—and all the crises they overcame together through countless days and nights. Liao Jinglin thought that even if he were to remain a hidden card for life, possessing such precious friendships and memories was enough, right?
Why was an old man bothering with so many thoughts?
Unexpectedly, An Yiqing said such words today. Liao Jinglin felt the last trace of grievance melting away in his heart. Reflecting on the experience of meeting the young girl, he suddenly burst into laughter.
