Chapter 1342: A Secret That Cannot Be Told
Can't accept it even if you want to?
From start to finish, the world's top experts, even the Holy Star, had been toyed with by Jiangnan!
Bei Qiu couldn't figure out how a young guy like Jiangnan could play schemes and tricks so smoothly.
Not only had Bei Qiu not gained any advantage from Jiangnan, but he had also pushed the Bei family into a corner!
If "Luo Tianqing" went out and told the "truth" she had uncovered—
The entire Bei family, thousands of people, would have to lie down, including himself!
It could be said that under the current situation, the life and death of the Bei family were in Jiangnan's hands alone.
He had the Bei family completely under control!
Bei Qiu's face was full of unwillingness: "People who play tricks are all dirty-minded!"
Jiangnan grinned widely!
(๑¯ิꇴ¯ิ) "If I could, I wouldn't want to play dirty, but your Bei family didn't play ball either, did it?"
"Does it matter what methods I use? As long as they work, they're good methods!"
Bei Qiu sighed, looking disheartened, no longer having the mind to wrestle with Jiangnan.
In this battle, he had witnessed Jiangnan's cunning, methods, strength, and his status in Hua Xia.
He had also seen the powerful foundation of Hua Xia. There was only one path left for Bei Qiu.
"I agree to your terms. Whatever you say goes!"
Jiangnan smiled brightly: "If you'd said that earlier, none of this would have happened."
As he spoke, he pulled out the complete cultivation method for Spiritual Force into Silk that he had prepared long ago and tossed it to Bei Qiu.
"The complete Spiritual Force into Silk up to the Grandmaster level is here. The top-level content will be put into the textbook."
"The Incantation explanations collected by Hua Xia—you can learn them too, but you have to provide all of the Bei family's Curse Arrays."
"If you're willing to participate in the project of carving Incantations, I might even let you see the God-Slaying Spell Array and the Giant Cannon."
"Your Bei family has quite a bit of talent and experience in Incantation carving, right? You can help a lot."
Bei Qiu looked at the complete cultivation method in his hands, his hands trembling with excitement, his eyes shining brightly.
When he heard that he could even see the God-Slaying Spell Array, he got even more excited.
(◞☆﹃☆◟) "Really letting me see it?"
Jiangnan shrugged: ʅ(･´‸･｀)ʃ "As agreed, we share what we have. Of course! You know, if you're one of us, there's nothing to hide."
"But if you become an outsider one day..."
"Your fate will be worse than the Celestial Group's."
Bei Qiu smiled bitterly: "I'll be content just to walk out of this prison today."
"I'll write out all the Curse Arrays the Bei family has later."
"That Ancient Su relic you need—take it too. I have no use for it anymore..."
Knowing he had no other choice, Bei Qiu gave up everything readily.
Jiangnan rested his chin on his hand: "Even if you didn't give it, I'd still take it, wouldn't I?"
"By the way, where did you get that Ancient Su relic? The Incantation on it only fills in one-third of the Star Gate's meltdown."
"I need the other fragments."
Bei Qiu was taken aback: "Star Gate? What's that? I got that thing recently."
"I bought it at a high price from a guy named Nicholas Silver. He said he dug it up from the E Guo permafrost."
Jiangnan's interest was piqued: "E Guo permafrost? Any specific location?"
Bei Qiu shook his head: "How could he tell me something like that? I just bought it as a collectible."
"I only know that guy is a Star Glory rank scavenger. His scavenger team is pretty famous in the permafrost area."
"My second son made contact with him in Blood Capital. I can give you the contact method. You can ask him yourself. That's all I know."
Jiangnan looked thoughtful, not really doubting Bei Qiu, since she had no reason to lie to him now.
Would he have to go find that person who sold the relic to Bei Qiu?
But what kind of silver was Nicholas Silver? He'd never heard of him before.
Then he asked Bei Qiu for the specific address and contact information.
Someone brought the Ancient Su relic stone slab to Jiangnan, who casually stuffed it into his Alternate Dimension for safekeeping.
Bei Qiu said helplessly: "Can you let me out now?"
Jiangnan shrugged: "Give me a set of all the Bei family's Spirit Pattern Curse Arrays."
Bei Qiu's face darkened: "A single Curse Array has tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of Incantations. How long would it take me to write them all?"
"Can't I just give them to you when I get out? It's not like I can run away."
Jiangnan smiled, pulling out a pair of Passionate Little Gloves from his pocket and putting them on.
"No need for that trouble. Just show them directly. If I can't remember, I'll lose."
"I'll make a copy and send it up."
Bei Qiu's eye twitched. He'd forgotten about Jiangnan's ability to learn at a glance.
He found Jiangnan even more monstrous. Do you know how long it took me to memorize all these Incantations?
With no other choice, Bei Qiu immediately began using Spiritual Silk to outline complete sets of Spirit Pattern Curse Arrays for display.
Jiangnan still had over twenty million skill points left, enough to activate Soul Imprint twice.
Lasting sixty seconds each!
That was enough to imprint all of the Bei family's stuff into his mind.
Bei Qiu felt a chill run down his spine under Jiangnan's gaze.
A minute later, Jiangnan clapped his hands with a satisfied smile.
"Got it. Stop your divine powers."
Bei Qiu felt like he had taken a critical hit worth thousands of tons.
Got it? Damn it!
At that moment, outside the interrogation room, Yang Jian was watching the monitor with great excitement.
Just as expected—the Bei family was taken down. Amazing!
Jiangnan stood up and approached Bei Qiu, waving his hand.
(ꐦ°᷄◡°᷅)੭ "Come on, since you're one of us now, there's nothing to hide from you."
"Come closer. I'll tell you a secret."
Bei Qiu was curious and leaned in closer, swallowing hard.
(◞•̌～•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "Wh... what secret?"
Jiangnan cackled sinisterly.
(΄◞ิ‿◟ิ‵) "A secret that cannot be told!"
With that, he swung his palm in a full arc and delivered a heavy slap to Bei Qiu's face!
(￣ε(#￣)╰(°᷄д°᷅ꐦ)
Bei Qiu's face was twisted to the side, completely dumbfounded, a look of utter confusion in his eyes.
Bei Qiu: (꒪꒫꒪(#) ???
But Jiangnan didn't stop. He alternated hands, slapping Bei Qiu about thirty times!
Each slap erased a minute of memory, wiping out the entire half-hour conversation!
Outside the interrogation room, Yang Jian stared in horror at the monitor as Jiangnan slapped Bei Qiu over thirty times!
Σ(ଵଵଵ|||)
Even from outside, he could hear the crisp "smack smack" sounds!
What's going on?
Wasn't the negotiation going well just now? Why the sudden slaps?
Is he always this violent?
Bei Qiu was at least a Dao Heaven rank!
After finishing the slaps, Jiangnan shook his somewhat numb hand.
As expected of a Dao Heaven rank—really thick-skinned!
Bei Qiu looked at "Luo Tianqing" in utter confusion.
(ﾉ)°△°#) "Wha... why is it you? Didn't you say someone was coming to negotiate with me?"
As he spoke, he rubbed his old face.
Huh? Why is my face a bit numb? Did my gout flare up again?
Jiangnan smiled: "It's already been negotiated. Brother Jian will handle the rest with you."
With that, he walked out of the interrogation room and closed the door behind him.
Bei Qiu scratched his head in confusion. When did they negotiate?
୧(#•̌ࡇ•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
For some reason, he felt an emptiness in his heart, as if he had forgotten something important.
Outside, Yang Jian was baffled: "What happened? Did things fall apart? Why did you hit Bei Qiu?"
Jiangnan grinned: "Nothing. Just making her forget that I'm still alive. If she blabbed, it would mess things up."
"Better to be safe. I don't trust this old lady. When the Bei family gets involved in replicating the God-Slaying Spell Array and the Giant Cannon, keep an eye on them."
"Only use them when you're sure they're loyal. We can't afford snakes."
Yang Jian smiled: "I have that under control. Don't worry."
Jiangnan nodded: "The Spiritual Force into Silk and the Spirit Pattern Curse Arrays can go into the textbooks now."
"I'll copy a set onto a hard drive for you later. As for the Star Gate repair, I'll probably have to make a trip to the Blood Capital in the permafrost."
"The trail leads there."
Yang Jian was taken aback: "You're going? Is that okay? E Guo hasn't made any moves internationally lately, but who knows what they're up to. Their strength is nothing to sneeze at."
"Especially places like the permafrost, which are rumored to be battlefields from the Ancient Su era, with frequent strange incidents."
"Plus, the Spirit Calamities in the No Man's Land there haven't been cleaned up yet."
"The Blood Capital is a den of all kinds of people, a notorious lawless place. Are you sure you want to go?"
Jiangnan grinned: "Who else would go? On the surface, Jiangnan is already dead, which makes it convenient for me to do things under the table."
"Besides, staying in the country surrounded by people I know has a terrifyingly high chance of exposure. It's better to lie low abroad."
"If I can gather all the fragments and repair the Star Gate, that would be ideal."
Yang Jian was still a bit worried, but what Jiangnan said made sense.
He did need to lie low. Looking for fragments was a perfect task for Jiangnan, especially since he was the one who brought back the Star Gate.
"Be careful. Even if the Star Gate can't be repaired, we'll still have to make the landing with the lunar module."
"The lunar probe was launched yesterday. Several satellites. They'll reach their orbit soon. I'll notify you as soon as there's any news from the moon."
"Over there, you need to watch out for the Snow Woman—that woman named Bai Kou is dangerous—and even though E Guo has no Space System users, they have..."
At that moment, Yang Jian was chattering like an old mother.
Jiangnan patted his chest—a chest that heaved quite dramatically.
(๐ಡдಡ) "Oh, I'm familiar with going abroad! When have I ever let the family down?"
"I got this. Don't worry. I'll keep a low profile and make sure I don't get exposed!"
Yang Jian quickly looked away—don't look at what you shouldn't see.
(yi﹏yi)
I spit! Don't worry? Bull crap!
You've never been low profile abroad. You almost wrecked the Fish Country!
If you can be low profile, I'll do a handstand and pee!
The permafrost and such... hopefully, he can handle it?
