Journey to the End of the Night

Chapter 1676 - 1007: Our Fangs Cannot Be Reined In

Looking at Qin Muqing, who had been severely reprimanded yet remained overwhelmingly confident, with a demeanor full of conviction.Baili An’s eyes were filled with a clutter of darkness.

"Oh? Do you think you... are more qualified than Fang Geyu to collaborate with me?"

Seeing his demeanor, Qin Muqing knew there was room to negotiate, and she slightly nodded.

"Young Master Ji has come to Shifang City, surely aware of certain worldly affairs, and must have heard quite a few rumors about the Fang Family.

It’s true that Fang Geyu is the offspring of the previous City Lord, but rumors have it that her appearance doesn’t resemble the two young masters of the Fang Family or City Lord Fang at all.

Possessing the Shifang bloodline yet unable to awaken a talisman spirit, doesn’t Young Master Ji find it peculiar?"

Baili An sneered, "It’s just absurd gossip, not worth believing in.

If it were true, why would City Lord Fang be so caring and attentive to Fang Geyu?"

"That’s merely out of fear of the former City Lord’s prestige; City Lord Fang, being a son-in-law, is worlds apart from Lord Xue in status and position.

Even though Lord Xue committed an act of infidelity, he, a son from a humble background, can only endure it."

"Young Master Ji has already met the Steward Fang Chi; he is a waste without Spirit Root.

Mortal bloodline could perfectly dilute and weaken the Immortal Bloodline of a figure like Lord Xue, creating someone like Fang Geyu, which is naturally not surprising."

Baili An coldly replied, "This is just your side of the story; thinking of achieving your goal through sweet talk is overly naive."

"If it were merely one-sided, after suffering such a great ordeal from Young Master, I wouldn’t dare continue sitting here revealing my heart to Young Master Ji."

Qin Muqing gazed at Baili An meaningfully, smiling: "Young Master Ji is a wise man, doesn’t it seem strange that Fang Chi, an ordinary mortal, holds such extraordinary power and influence,

If not for relying on a woman’s help, does the Young Master think it’s possible?

He was originally the biological brother of City Lord Fang, yet the rumor spread that his cultivation was severely backfired, ruining his body, making him unable to be a man...

Hehe, forgive my bluntness, but what kind of Cultivation Technique could damage a mortal’s body so severely?"

Qin Muqing’s gaze suddenly became sly and subtle: "Quite a few in the city secretly speculate... it was Fang Chi’s poor service that angered Lord Xue, who in his fury, meted out intolerable punishment,.

Only later was it inadvertently discovered she had a new bloodline, resulting in the birth of a so-called wild child like Fang Geyu."

Upon hearing the word ’wild child,’ a cold gleam flickered in Baili An’s eyes!

His gaze suddenly turned sharp and icy, chilling like a cold river, making one shiver:

"As a citizen of Shifang City, having benefited from its blessings, Fourth Miss Qin speaks so irreverently against the deceased former City Lord, full of defamation and slander, doesn’t it seem laughable?"

Qin Muqing, intimidated by his gaze, yet having spoken to this extent.

If her bold assertions couldn’t utterly persuade him, today’s discourse might invite disaster.

"If one wishes no secrets discovered, one shouldn’t act. If Lord Xue was truly upright and spotless, would he truly fear people gossiping behind his back?

Although Fang Geyu appears glorious on the surface, very few truly support and uphold her within the city.

No matter how formidable Lord Xue was, he’s dead, and the real power holder in Shifang City now is City Lord Fang You.

In appearance, Fang Geyu seems to have all the advantages, yet she, like me, is not born of Fang You—and I could possess even greater advantages.

She relies on her status as a lady, acts whimsically, arrogantly domineering, and never regards her subordinates as people.

Her decisions leave her no way out; in Shifang City, those who respect her are many, but those who dislike her are likewise numerous.

Though I’m not talented, I dedicate myself deeply to the talismanic way and governance in Shifang City, with keen interest in research and management.

Unlike Fang Geyu, who fails to win hearts, I have numerous guests in my mansion, with diverse talents under my wing.

In a city where females reign supreme, when it comes to the time to appoint an heir, I am undoubtedly more suitable than Fang Geyu."

After saying all this, Baili An remained unmoved, his gaze mocked Qin Muqing:

"Fourth Miss Qin seems to have forgotten the most important point."

"I certainly haven’t forgotten." Qin Muqing raised her chin slightly higher and, through the skylight outside the curtain, Baili An could see the confidence and pride in her eyes.

"Fang Geyu’s greatest trump card is none other than her Shifang bloodline.

Yet the Shifang bloodline diluted and homogenized by mortals, though precious, how can it compare to the Pure Primordial Bloodline?"

While speaking, Qin Muqing’s bright eyes gradually unveiled an ice-blue mystical light, like a gemstone radiating a splendid glow, as if moisturized by lake water.

Wisps of chill permeated from her pupils into pure ice mist, even creating icy crystal patterns in the air.

At that moment, Baili An could even feel a power, not belonging to Qin Muqing, pouring into her eyes.

Surrounded by frosty flowers, amidst the cold aura, a faint scent of long-sealed cold plum could be detected.

Witnessing this scene, the color on Baili An’s face slowly faded.

A cloud of dark ominous clouds pressed deeply in his eyes, and his hand resting on the chair’s edge slowly tightened, turning his knuckles white.

Looking at Qin Muqing’s ice-blue eyes, he felt a chilling dread penetrating his spine.
