Chapter 1026: 635. Pledge of Allegiance_3

Chen Yu and Li Bingxi are both smart people; they won’t believe in one-sided stories from certain individuals within the Qing’s Family unless the other party has no retreat.

Of course, given their personalities, these tokens of allegiance are probably only a part of it.

They will surely wait until the most critical moment to take action.

The Shadow said, "It’s comforting to see someone from the Qing’s Family taking action. They’ve waited so many years; each one scared to death, long forgetting the bloodiness of the Qing’s Family ancestors. The Qing’s Family on the day Qing Zhen’s ancestor treaded the snow up Ginkgo Mountain was the real Qing’s Family. Now, it’s just wearing the shell of the Qing’s Family, barely surviving."

Qing Chen muttered, "Clearly they’re here to kill you, how can you be so happy?"

"They’re not here to kill me, but to kill us," the Shadow explained cheerfully, "Compared to my death, they more wish to see you die."

"Why?" Qing Chen asked, puzzled.

"Someone might have guessed your identity, so they’re worried the Family Head will continue plotting for you to inherit the Qing’s Family," the Shadow patiently said, "There is something to tell you; outsiders only know the danger of the Shadow Strife, but they don’t know that every generation of the Family Head’s son, as long as they participate in the Shadow Strife, doesn’t live past 20. Those branch family members are willing to participate in the Shadow Strife and absolutely don’t want to see the Qing’s Family become the exclusive property of any one lineage... Don’t underestimate the strength of the Qing’s Family branches. They’ve been surviving under my shadow for nearly ten years and have been planning for ten years. Xiao Chen, people of the Qing’s Family are all wolf cubs; some grow into jackals, some into Wolf Kings."

Qing Chen was stunned for a moment, so after the Shadow Strife began, some people would want to poison the Shadow.

The result was the death of that Ning Xiujie instead.

The Family Head’s son becomes everyone’s first target when participating in the Shadow Strife, until the Family Head’s son is eliminated, then the real Shadow Strife begins.

Originally, the Shadow should have died too, should have been besieged.

But he stepped into the realm of a Demigod with just one move, and no opponents remained.

So people from each faction could only pinch their noses and accept it, waiting for the Shadow to die.

But now, when they know the Family Head still has a younger son, the branches of Qing’s Family went mad; if they don’t take action, they’ll never get their day.

Qing Chen asked, "But... Why couldn’t it be done by the Family Head, like Ning Xiujie’s death, or those wanting to kill you in the Qing’s Family this time?"

The Shadow suddenly said seriously, "Xiao Chen, I choose to trust him. Of course, you can trust him as I do, or you can not believe him; it’s all up to you. Be wary of Qing Shi’s father and also of Qing Wen’s mother; those two... are both lunatics."

Qing Chen was silent.

Clearly based on reasoning, the one who could make the Shadow unable to find the murderer, the Family Head has the biggest suspicion.

Worldwide, there are less than five people capable of doing this.

Yet the Shadow does not suspect that Family Head?

No way, Qing Chen admits he can’t do it; his biggest suspect now is the Family Head; all investigations will start around the Family Head.

He asked, "But... how could they guess my identity?"

The Shadow said with a smile, "I told them."

Qing Chen: "..."

"How could one catch the cub without entering the tiger’s lair?" the Shadow retorted, "If I don’t throw out enough bait, how would they act? If they don’t act, how would Chen Yu and Li Bingxi come?"

Standing in the woods, Qing Chen complained, "You could have entered the tiger’s lair yourself, how could you throw me in? Now not only do the Chen Clan, Jindai, and Deer Island want to kill me, even the Qing’s Family wants to kill me. What am I, a public enemy?"

The Shadow said, "There’s already so many wanting to kill you, does it matter if the Qing’s Family joins in?"

"You, the glorious Qing’s shadow, don’t act cute with an accent after selling your brother... So, are you planning to kill the Demigod?" Qing Chen asked helplessly.

The Shadow shook his head, "I was confident at my peak, now I am not. But I have my plans."

Zhang Mengchan and others were hiding beside them; in such a tense atmosphere, this brother and sister were actually chatting.

You two should show some respect to the cannon fodder, would you?!

The Shadow said, "Continue south; the road to Taboo Land 002 might not be peaceful."
