Supreme Martial Artist - Chapter 1247
Chapter 1247 Strange Behavior!
Qin Fei swept his divine sense out and saw the waiter lying at the corner of the street, his entire body emitting a chilling aura. He was frozen to death!
He took a deep look at Chou Cai. This fellow was decisive. He said he would kill without hesitation.
This name is really strange, Chou Cai? He actually hated wealth? He clearly had the appearance of a profiteering businessman, and his name was not worthy of his reputation!
“Killing him won’t be a problem?” He frowned slightly. He felt that Chou Cai was a little too ruthless. Actually, the waiter did not understand the situation, so he brought about a calamity of killing himself.
“Master, there won’t be any trouble! There are often murder cases nearby, and the officials are only asking about it. Moreover, this place is remote, and very few people come here at night. His corpse will soon turn into ice water and become a stinking ditch. No one will discover it!” Chou Cai said with a smile, as if he wasn’t worried at all.
Qin Fei nodded. He didn’t say anything more about this matter. Although Chou Cai was ruthless, he was also doing things for the Origin Returning Pavilion. If he said anything else about the other party, it would be impolite.
As for that clerk, he was seeking his own death. He warned if he could not get close or not. If he found out the secret, he would naturally die!
Qin Fei did not know what had happened to him now. He had become a bit cold-blooded and arrogant. He did not care much about the life and death of the weak. He had also thought about the exact reason why it had turned out like this, but he could not find an answer.
Was this the contempt of the superior for the inferior?
Actually, he didn’t like this feeling very much, but for some reason, there was always another voice in his heart telling him that he didn’t need to care about the life and death of the weak. He was a strong person, and he wanted to become the number one existence in the universe in the future. He cared about how the weak would become strong?
Most of the time, he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle. This kind of situation only appeared after he reached the Earthly Sovereign Realm. In the past, he would definitely not be tempted to kill people who did not threaten him. However, ever since he became an Earthly Sovereign Realm cultivator, all of this had begun to change, becoming aloof and arrogant. It seemed a bit heartless.
He couldn’t figure out what was going on with this change, The contradictory conflicts collided with each other, leaving him no time to think. Sometimes, it was already too late to stop him. Just like how Chou Cai wanted to kill the man just now, he originally wanted to stop him. There was no need to make a fuss about it, but another voice stopped him in his heart, causing him to be half a step slower and not save the man’s life.
He was a little annoyed. He didn’t know how far this situation would develop. If he became a cold-blooded and heartless person, would he still be the same as before? Was it still the same as before?
At this moment, his mind was in a mess. He could only casually nod his head at Chou Cai’s words, and then began to talk about business with him.
“The higher-ups told you to find out about the situation in the imperial capital. How do you understand it now?” Qin Fei said in a deep voice.
“Your Excellency, after our observation, although this imperial capital does not have a monarch, all the armies and Empyreans obey the orders of the Ancestor of the Stars. These people are 100% obedient to the Ancestor of the Stars. If anything happens that threatens the Ancestor of the Stars, they will definitely protect him with death.” Chou Cai said.
He paused, Then he continued, “In the imperial capital, there has always been a saying that the Ancestor of the Stars is comparable to the Emperor of Qin, even more wise and powerful. It is more suitable to lead everyone to eliminate the demons and rebuild the Qin Dynasty. Moreover, many people feel that the Ancestor of the Stars has the absolute qualifications and ability to replace the Emperor of Qin and become the new Emperor!”
A trace of doubt flashed in Chou Cai’s eyes when he said this. He received this task to inquire about the situation of the Ancestor of the Stars in the Imperial Capital. The higher ups specifically instructed him to investigate the prestige of the Ancestor of the Stars in the Imperial Capital.
This made him very puzzled, Everyone in the Great Zhou world knew about the Ancestor of the Stars, Even the Burning World Demon Clan hated and feared the Ancestor of the Stars. He didn’t understand why the task assigned to him was like this. However, he didn’t raise any questions because he was loyal to the Origin Celestial Pavilion and valued it more than the Ancestor of the Stars. He just had a different opinion in his heart. He didn’t understand what the purpose of the task was. What was the point of investigating the situation of the Ancestor of the Stars for the Origin Celestial Pavilion?
Seeing his puzzled expression, Qin Fei frowned slightly and said, “What is your motive for setting up this mission?”
Qiu Cai did not dare to deceive him. He hurriedly nodded and said, “Sir, this lowly person does indeed have such doubts. What is the prestige of the Ancestor of the Stars in the Imperial Capital? What does it have to do with my Guiyuan Pavilion? This lowly person really does not understand why he did this!”
Qin Fei smiled and said, “Actually, it’s just to understand the situation so that there won’t be any misunderstandings between our Guiyuan Pavilion and the Ancestor of the Stars. After all, we are all here for the survival of the humans in the Great Zhou world!”
Chou Cai said, expressing his understanding.
Qin Fei glanced at him. Naturally, he understood where Chou Cai’s doubts came from. The Ancestor of the Stars was in the Great Zhou world, Just like what Chou Cai said just now, That was absolute prestige and control. All martial practitioners followed his lead and obeyed his orders. The Origin Returning Pavilion was a newly emerging force that had appeared over the past ten years. To actually dare to inquire about the Ancestor of the Stars was absolutely disrespectful in anyone’s eyes. Therefore, it was normal for Chou Cai to have such doubts.
However, Chou Cai did not know that the Guiyuan Pavilion’s Pavilion Master was actually Qin Fei’s avatar when he first entered the Great Zhou world. It was Qin Fei who founded the Guiyuan Pavilion and expanded rapidly in the past ten years. Now, the various branches of the Pavilion were distributed in various regions controlled by humans in the Great Zhou world, recruiting talents for the Pavilion.
The fundamental reason for investigating the prestige of the Ancestor of the Stars was that Qin Fei had his own plans. He always felt that the Ancestor of the Stars was wrong towards him. To be exact, it should be that the loyalty shown by the former Emperor of Qin was somewhat untrue. This phenomenon landed on Qin Fei, which was also untrue to him. He had no choice but to guard against it.
Qin Fei was not a three-year-old child. Zhou Jinhai’s attitude back then had explained many problems. The other party was the chief disciple of the Ancestor of the Stars. To be more clear, he was the most loyal subordinate. The other party showed disrespect to him without caring.
Qin Fei saw this and remembered it in his heart. He felt that it was unbelievable!
The Ancestor of the Stars was respectful to him and didn’t dare to neglect him in the slightest. As a disciple, Zhou Jinhai acted so straightforwardly. Even if he didn’t care about the reputation of the Qin Emperor, he should still care about the dissatisfaction of the Ancestor of the Stars, right?
However, the other party did not. Instead, he directly expressed his dissatisfaction with Qin Fei.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this was a completely unorthodox behavior.
This made Qin Fei suspicious the most. Zhou Jinhai knew him and knew his origin. Otherwise, when he first met him, he would not have instantly recognized his identity by relying on Star Profound Qi.
The crux of the problem made Qin Fei suspicious. Since he knew his identity, he must have learned it from the Ancestor of the Stars. Since he had learned it from the Ancestor of the Stars, it must have been the Ancestor of the Stars who had told him about it.
Since the Ancestor of the Stars had told him before, something even stranger had appeared. If the Ancestor of the Stars really had such reverence for His Majesty the Emperor of Qin as it appeared on the surface, then he would definitely warn Zhou Jinhai in front of him, not to let him have any disrespect towards the Emperor of Qin.
However, Zhou Jinhai was clearly disrespectful and did not put Qin Fei in his eyes.
This matter is problematic again. He is a disciple of the Ancestor of the Stars. Everything should be done according to the instructions of the Ancestor of the Stars. Even if he doesn’t give himself face, he must at least give face to Master, right?
However, it was clear that the other party did not give face, nor did he give face to anyone!
No, he just didn’t give Qin Fei any face. He still gave enough face to the Ancestor of the Stars. Later, the Ancestor of the Stars berated him and immediately made Zhou Jinhai shut his mouth.
Then the problem was even deeper. Since Zhou Jinhai was still respectful to the Ancestor of the Stars, it could even be said that he was afraid. At that time, Qin Fei could clearly see it. When he heard the Ancestor of the Stars berating him, the fear in Zhou Jinhai’s eyes was absolutely without any falsehood or hesitation. This meant that he had developed the habit for many years. He was afraid that the Ancestor of the Stars would go to his bones.
Therefore, since he was so afraid of the Ancestor of the Stars, why didn’t he put Qin Fei, who was respectful to the Ancestor of the Stars, in his eyes?
There seemed to be only one answer to all these questions!
That was because Zhou Jinhai was actually not afraid of doing this. He was confident that he was not afraid that the Ancestor of the Stars would really punish him!
