Chapter 1345: Chapter 1340: Jin Ni’Er
"According to you, the Cyan Cloud Secret Realm is a place for the talents of the Cyan Cloud List to showcase their skills."
Qin Hao tried to recall this and said.
"Exactly." Elder Jin smiled slightly, revealing his real intention: "I hope Qin Hao you can represent my Jin Family and enter the Secret Realm."
"Oh." Qin Hao raised an eyebrow, not too surprised.
At this point, he had already guessed the answer.
But he still had many doubts, so he asked, "Why me?"
"Because your strength is extraordinarily high! I’m sure if you fight with all your might, you definitely have the strength to be in the top five, or even top three, on the Cyan Cloud List!"
Qin Hao smiled without saying anything. At his level, the Cyan Cloud List was already child’s play.
Of course, Elder Jin could think this way; it’s fine by him, playing dumb and eating a tiger.
"Having that strength is one thing, but I’m not on the Cyan Cloud List! How can I enter, hmm?" Qin Hao said slowly.
"Haha, little friend, you might not know, entering the Cyan Cloud List is quite simple, you just need to defeat the experts on the list." Elder Jin extended a finger, seemingly reminded of his unfilial grandson Jin Mountain, his expression a bit melancholic.
"Uh... So that’s how it is." Qin Hao understood the cause and effect.
So, when he made Jin Mountain kneel, he counted as having defeated him. And thus, the position on the Cyan Cloud List naturally became his.
"So now I’m the eighty-ninth on the Cyan Cloud List, and your grandson is the ninetieth." Qin Hao said.
"Correct." Elder Jin showed a face of frustration: "He’s still on the Cyan Cloud List, but today’s performance proved his incompetence. You must know, the resources in the Secret Realm represent the future of all noble families. The more resources you seize, the more prosperous the family behind you. I can’t just entrust the future of the family to someone like him."
"Oh!" Qin Hao felt no sympathy for Jin Mountain’s fate. "So now you’re asking me to represent your Jin Family in the Secret Realm, and your direct descendant grandson is excluded?"
"Exactly." Elder Jin’s face regained calmness: "Besides the Cyan Cloud List, each family has a quota to enter the Secret Realm. My Jin Family doesn’t have much influence, only three spots, so we had to kick him out."
"That’s strange, aren’t there three spots? Does your Jin Family have other talents who even surpass Jin Mountain?"
"Naturally, we do." Elder Jin stroked his beard, asking Qin Hao: "Now that everything is clear, you must know the pros and cons. How do you think?"
"This feels wrong." Qin Hao couldn’t help but laugh; not only had he beaten Jin Mountain, but he also took his spot, which seemed a bit excessive.
"Little friend, no need to be modest. If you are willing, the Jin Family can become your permanent ally without conditions. Then, you’ll have a foundation to stand in the Ancient Martial Families." Elder Jin persuaded.
"Alright, I’ll agree for now, but I may change my mind anytime." Qin Hao said calmly.
For him, reaching the peak of power, breaking through in the mundane world was already difficult; only mysterious places like the Secret Realm could work.
"Then please prepare in the next few days, the Secret Realm is likely to open this month, I will notify you by then."
...
While Qin Hao and Elder Jin were talking, in another luxury box within the Imperial Courtyard.
Jin Mountain lay weakly on a soft couch, his hands wrapped in thick bandages, his face full of pain.
The doctor in a white coat stood up: "Young Master Jin, your wounds are treated. A rest of three or four months will naturally heal them."
"Three or four months? So long?" Jin Mountain’s pale lips shivered, during his injury period, his strength would be affected, practically useless.
If this continues, wouldn’t it mean missing the action of the Cyan Cloud Secret Realm?
Thinking of this, Jin Mountain’s face turned furious as he shouted: "You worthless bunch! Can’t even heal a wound, why do I need you useless people! Get out!"
The guards and doctors were scared, rushing out the door.
"Ridiculous, he can’t beat people but blames us."
"Haha, licking shoes, breaking hands, at this point still acting high and mighty, really don’t know what’s in his head."
"Shameful, I even treated him as the young master, didn’t expect just an incompetent fool who vents at his own people."
Even though the subordinates closed the door, Jin Mountain could hear the disdainful discussions outside.
"Get out!"
Jin Mountain angrily punched the air, then as the wound pulled, pain made him grimace and weaken.
In such pain, with a twisted face, he muttered: "Damn bastard, insulted me, injured me, and wants to take my opportunity! I won’t let you go in this lifetime!"
Bam!
The door suddenly opened, and a girl in tight black clothing walked in.
Her figure was curvy, hands behind her back, her face full of anger.
Upon seeing Jin Mountain on the sofa, she quickly approached, her face filled with concern: "Brother Jin Mountain, why are your injuries so severe!"
"It’s Ni!"
Seeing the girl appear, Jin Mountain’s twisted face turned gentle: "I..."
Halfway through, he couldn’t continue.
"Brother Jin Mountain, we’re siblings. You can tell me anything." Jin Ni’er gently stroked Jin Mountain’s forehead: "Brother, I know, it’s that bastard Qin Hao who injured you, right."
"It’s him! That bastard! I’ll never let him go in my lifetime!" Mentioning Qin Hao, Jin Mountain’s face involuntarily grew resentful, starting to talk tough with tears.
"Brother, don’t worry, I’ll get justice for you!" Jin Ni’er stood up, turned around to leave.
She was always temperamental and extremely protective, often standing up for her brother.
"Ni’er!" Jin Mountain’s face showed concern: "That little bastard is strong..."
"Strong? Can he be stronger than me?" Jin Ni’er showed disdain.
Jin Mountain thought about it and agreed.
The outside world rumors said the young generation of the Jin Family had three prodigies.
The first prodigy could be put aside, the other two were Jin Mountain and Jin Ni’er.
The two were siblings, possessing strong talents, both experts on the Cyan Cloud List.
In comparison, Jin Mountain being ranked eighty-ninth was quite remarkable.
While Jin Ni’er, ranked sixty-fifth, was even stronger.
Jin Mountain knew Jin Ni’er’s actual strength was far beyond sixty-fifth.
His sister, Jin Ni’er, had the supreme talent of awakening the bloodline.
As long as she intended to awaken the bloodline, breaking into the top ten or top five would be easy.
Such strength, dealing with Qin Hao would naturally be a breeze.
