Qin Chuan had just finished his morning exercise when a man knocked on the courtyard door.
Mo Mou was already up; her recovery was going well. She went to open the door, and a young man appeared, one she recognized:
Zhan Hao!
The head of the Zhan family, arguably the youngest head in the family's history. Seeing Mo Mou, Zhan Hao greeted her with a smile, "Hello, Miss Mo Mou!"
"Hello, what brings you here?" Mo Mou asked.
Dark Night had connections with both the Zhan family and the Black Demon Palace. Although Mo Mou and Demon Within Demons both belonged to the demonic path, they were neutral in this area.
Because of this factionalism, Dark Night also had dealings with the Zhan family.
Their neutrality stemmed from Dark Night's insufficient strength to contend with the Zhan family and the Black Demon Palace, preventing a three-way balance of power.
Therefore, they remained neutral, relatively closer to the Zhan family—though not exactly close, but simply for survival, given the Black Demon Palace's superior strength.
"I'd like to see Mr. Qin. Is that convenient?" Zhan Hao said.
"Girl, who's here?" Qin Chuan asked, walking over.
Given the current special circumstances, he was somewhat worried about Mo Mou, so when he approached, he naturally saw Zhan Hao.
"Hello, Mr. Qin!" Zhan Hao greeted him politely.
"And you are?" Qin Chuan asked.
"I am Zhan Hao, a member of the Zhan family," Zhan Hao said, without revealing his identity. He understood that once the other party knew he was from the Zhan family, they would know why he was there.
"Come in!"
Qin Chuan indeed knew why the other party had come when he heard "Zhan family," which wasn't surprising, given Qin Chuan's current situation.
Although the other party hadn't announced his identity, Qin Chuan still guessed it, because if the Zhan family had any sincerity, the one who came would definitely be the patriarch.
This man was young, with an extraordinary bearing. Everyone knew the Zhan family patriarch was a young man, so Qin Chuan could roughly guess his identity.
After sitting down, Qin Chuan smiled and said, "Mr. Zhan, what brings you here?"
Without any formalities, not even offering water, he went straight to the point. Qin Chuan disliked formalities, or rather, the other party hadn't reached the point where he needed to be polite.
Zhan Hao didn't feel awkward and said naturally, "I want Mr. Qin to help me. Of course, I won't let Mr. Qin work for nothing."
Zhan Hao knew very well that he had no relationship or business connection with Qin Chuan, so the most reliable way was to establish a business relationship.
After all, there were no favors to be made, and the best, most direct, and fastest way was through mutual benefit. Offering something that would tempt and satisfy the other party might get him to help.
Of course, there was another possibility: Qin Chuan and the Black Demon Palace were also enemies, and they might even fight each other.
It wasn't impossible for him to stand by and watch, but that would be too short-sighted. If he did that, his Zhan family would have no connection with Qin Chuan.
That wasn't a big deal, but a large family couldn't be too short-sighted. What if the Black Demon Palace dealt with his Zhan family first, and then fought Qin Chuan?
What would happen to the Zhan family then?
So, he came here to bring Qin Chuan onto the Zhan family's side, at least when facing the Black Demon Palace, even if it meant paying a heavy price.
Because there were no other options, and for the sake of the Zhan family, this was necessary.
Qin Chuan didn't immediately agree. Instead, he looked at Zhan Hao with a calm and unassuming gaze.
Zhan Hao was quite frank. He was actually observing Qin Chuan, very curious about him, as he could clearly see that Qin Chuan was much younger than him.
Qin Chuan smiled, "I wonder how this won't be a wasted effort."
Zhan Hao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Qin Chuan's words, as it meant Qin Chuan was interested. As long as what he offered satisfied Qin Chuan, the matter was almost certain to succeed.
Zhan Hao directly took out a brocade box. Although it wasn't opened yet, Qin Chuan could already sense a powerful aura.
Dragon energy.
This was a fluctuation of dragon energy. Qin Chuan didn't examine it closely, but he was certain that the contents were related to dragons.
However, he didn't know exactly what it was.
Zhan Hao opened it directly, and a faint golden light entered Qin Chuan's eyes. This golden light was soft, yet it felt very solemn.
It was a profound feeling, with the sedimentation of the shattered moon. After so long, the dragon energy was still so strong.
Qin Chuan was slightly shocked when he saw this.
Ancestral Dragon Golden Emperor Pill!
Yang Position!
It was actually a Yang position! You see, of Qin Chuan's nine Divine Dragon positions, eight had already been filled with the Ancestral Dragon Golden Emperor Pill, leaving only the last Yang position.
He hadn't found a suitable one, even the Seven-Colored Ancestral Dragon Golden Emperor Pill, but still hadn't found a Yang position.
This left Qin Chuan feeling helpless.
But he knew it was normal; finding so many was already a miracle. Although he wanted to find them all, he felt the possibility was extremely small.
Unexpectedly, sometimes surprises come too suddenly. Qin Chuan didn't know why the other party knew he needed the Ancestral Dragon Golden Emperor Pill, but he didn't want to say much now.
If you encounter it, you must obtain it; even if it costs a lot, you must get it. So this was a perfect opportunity.
"I won't say much more, I need this," Qin Chuan said frankly.
Zhan Hao smiled. This was a good thing—the supremely Yang-attribute Ancestral Dragon Golden Emperor Pill, useless in other people's hands.
Even with Qin Chuan, Zhan Hao didn't know if it would work; he could only try. However, Zhan Hao had made two preparations: if this didn't work, there was another.
He absolutely had to get Qin Chuan's help, after all, it concerned the life and death of a large family of warriors.
However, it seems unnecessary now. Although Qin Chuan appeared calm, Zhan Hao was certain that Qin Chuan really liked the Ancestral Dragon Golden Emperor Pill.
Zhan Hao smiled and nodded: "Pleasant to cooperate!"
"Pleasant to cooperate!"
The two then began to discuss the matter, and finally decided that Qin Chuan would make a trip
to the Zhan family, specifically to help them overcome this crisis.
Qin Chuan was relaxed; he knew that he and the Black Demon Palace would never let things go so easily, and even if he did, the Black Demon Palace wouldn't.
At this level, everyone could guess each other's thoughts, and Zhan Hao's actions were already quite impressive.
Mo Mou now listened to Qin Chuan completely, so she went to the Zhan family with him. When
the Zhan family learned that Qin Chuan and Zhan Hao had returned, many people came out to greet them, and many were shocked to see Qin Chuan for the first time.
Qin Chuan is so young, with two strands of white hair, and an air of divine grace; he's an enigmatic man, and many are curious about him.
However, quite a few also express doubt, after all, is someone so young really as powerful as the rumors suggest?
