Special Expert of Beauty CEO

”Thank you, Third Young Master, for your concern, but I, Qin Tian, will remain Qin Tian. When it comes to marriage, I prefer to make my own decisions, so you needn’t worry about it.”

In the face of Nangong Bingfeng’s anger, Qin Tian stood firm, unmoved as a mountain.

”Hmph... you have someone in your heart, don’t you? Do you think I don’t know who it is?”

Nangong Bingfeng spoke bluntly, glaring at Qin Tian with a threatening tone: ”Qin Tian, you’re a commoner, don’t be a toad lusting after a swan. That woman you dusted off in your heart is someone you can’t even think about! Understand?”

”Even I dare not desecrate her, so don’t entertain any delusions. Come with me to the side.”

Nangong Bingfeng spoke loudly, and when he saw Zhao Long and the others looking their way, he immediately took Qin Tian outside the hall.

In a secluded place, Nangong Bingfeng bluntly asked Qin Tian, ”What is your relationship with Murong Fei? You’d better tell the truth!”

”We’re classmates, I guess you could say we know each other,” replied Qin Tian.

”Don’t force me!”

Nangong Bingfeng glared menacingly at Qin Tian, ”I’ve always had people protecting Murong Fei. My people saw Murong Fei actively go to your Qin residence. You were very close, and talked privately in a room for the time it takes an incense stick to burn. Are you telling me this is a normal classmate relationship?”

”Who said that?”

Qin Tian would never admit it, ”That day, Murong Fei did come to see me, but we didn’t talk in a room, just exchanged a few words in the courtyard, and then she left. You know Murong Fei’s proud character; how could she possibly talk privately with me in a room?”

”That’s why I suspect you have an unusual relationship!”

”Sorry to disappoint you, but I can only say we don’t. If I had an unusual relationship with her, do you think she’d come to my house openly during the day? Forget about the Murong Family, just think about Murong Fei—do you think she’d look favorably on a commoner like me?”

Qin Tian kept finding reasons, and his identity reasoning temporarily left Nangong Bingfeng speechless.

Qin Tian threatened, ”You better have no connection whatsoever. Otherwise, I tell you, not only will you be in trouble, but Murong Fei will also be implicated, and even the Murong Family will be affected! Now that Murong Fei has gone to the Imperial City, Qin Tian, I’ll leave it at that; we’re done with this matter.”

”If I find you have any contact with her in the future, not only will you lose your position, but you’ll lose your life too! You won’t escape the eyes of Soul Suppressing Hall’s people!”

After warning Qin Tian, Nangong Bingfeng left.

Qin Tian could disregard everything Nangong Bingfeng said, except for the last sentence, which filled him with dread.

The eyes of the Soul Suppressing Hall...

What does this mean?

Could it be that from now on, Nangong Bingfeng will constantly investigate and monitor me? That’s troublesome!

The multitalented Qin Tian’s greatest fear was being targeted by the Soul Suppressing Hall.

”Qin Tian!”

As Qin Tian pondered over Soul Suppressing Hall, Xiao Zhan’s voice came from the hall.

Hearing this, Qin Tian immediately felt a surge of anxiety—

Xiao Zhan’s appearance signaled the final outcome regarding the East Gate General!

Taking two steps inside, Qin Tian saw Xiao Zhan and Nangong Minghua smiling, along with a Special Envoy who also had a smiling face.

But the other two special envoys and Zhao Long and Ye Ming looked downcast, with expressions of disappointment.

Seeing this situation, Qin Tian didn’t need to be told to guess the result.

”Congratulations, Qin Tian, at such a young age, you have taken the position of East Gate General, congratulations!” It wasn’t Xiao Zhan who first congratulated Qin Tian, but the City Lord of East Capital City, Nangong Minghua.

Xiao Zhan prompted Qin Tian, ”Qin Tian, quickly thank the City Lord!”

”Thank you, City Lord. I vow to perform my duties and protect East Capital,” Qin Tian saluted Nangong Minghua.

Nangong Minghua laughed heartily and said to Xiao Zhan, ”To possess such power at a young age, especially from a commoner’s background, is indeed a miracle. It shows just how outstanding Qin Tian is, hahaha. Congratulations, Old Xiao, on having such a capable assistant!”

Nangong Minghua praised Qin Tian, with Xiao Zhan echoing him, and Qin Tian joining in.

Zhao Long and Ye Ming, after begrudgingly congratulating Qin Tian, left directly.

In this competition, there was no doubt Qin Tian had won big, and Xiao Zhan had won big.

When City Lord Nangong Minghua and City Guard Army Governor Xiao Zhan jointly announced Qin Tian as the newest East Gate General, the anxious heart of Qin Tian finally settled.

His strength had advanced further.

The task Xu Junwei assigned him was also completed.

…

”Very good, Lonely Wolf, you did a magnificent job!”

The next day, when Qin Tian met with Xu Junwei, Xu Junwei was full of praise for his success in completing the mission.

”With you in such a critical position, it will be much more convenient for us to advance or retreat in the future.”

Xu Junwei looked at Qin Tian, ”Now, onto the next mission. Qin Lonely Wolf, listen carefully; this is the latest task from the Imperial City, something we’ve been working on, but now, we need to invest more effort and speed up the progress.”

Qin Tian said, ”Please speak.”

Xu Junwei seriously stated, ”We need to ascertain the fate of Tie Shi and White Fox—whether they are still undercover, have defected, or have died. We need to investigate and report back to the Imperial City.”

”Does the Imperial City mean they want them alive if possible, dead if necessary?”

”Exactly. If they have defected, we must prepare to eliminate them.”

”But... we’ve been investigating for so long without any progress; suddenly given such a task, we don’t know where to start.”

This had always puzzled Qin Tian.

”That’s why the Imperial City has sent someone to assist us, someone who will help track down Tie Shi and White Fox’s whereabouts. This person once connected with Tie Shi—they wore masks and never met face to face. But this person knows Tie Shi was hiding in the military, either with the City Guard Army or East State Army garrison.”

”Uh, such a wide range, after all these years, knowing that doesn’t help us much. We don’t know where to start.”

”But the one from the Imperial City, codenamed ’Divine Sword,’ Long Yin, claims he has evidence. Coming to East Capital City, he is confident of finding Tie Shi, who has connected with White Fox several times and should know who White Fox is...”

Xu Junwei gravely said, ”Therefore, Divine Sword is here to help us find a breakthrough. And this is a directive from the upper level; we cannot object, only accept.”

”But, Silly Ant, should we meet him?”

A sudden newcomer made Qin Tian very apprehensive, ”We don’t understand Divine Sword; if we meet him rashly and he gets exposed, he knows us, and we’re done for!”
