Chapter 576: Chapter 576: Need a Painter

Upon hearing Qin Chuan speak, everyone’s gaze unanimously fell upon him.

Long Sanlin looked at Qin Chuan with a face full of fear, as if grasping at a lifesaving straw, and said emotionally, "Mr. Qin, please spare my life, I will do anything in return for you!"

He knew that his life and death hinged on a single word from Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan suddenly asked, "The Lotus Ring you gave to Miao Dahai, where did you obtain it from?"

As these words were spoken, Long Sanlin’s complexion changed drastically.

Only at this moment did he realize that it was Qin Chuan who had told Murong Mingyue that it was he, Long Sanlin, who had colluded with the Master of Gu Technique to poison Murong Fu.

Because he had been extremely secretive about this matter, only he and Miao Dahai had been in contact, which is why no matter how Murong Mingyue tortured him, he refused to admit to it.

Now that Qin Chuan actually knew he was the one who gave the Lotus Ring to Miao Dahai, there was only one possibility—that it was Miao Dahai who had told Qin Chuan about it.

Given the relationship between Qin Chuan and Murong Mingyue, naturally he would not harm Murong Fu. Thus, it is impossible for Qin Chuan to have a friendly relationship with Miao Dahai.

Upon such an analysis, only one possibility remained—that Miao Dahai had fallen into the hands of Qin Chuan, and even possibly had been killed by him.

Thinking of this, Long Sanlin’s body trembled uncontrollably like a sieve.

Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes, staring at Long Sanlin and asked, "What now? You still plan on hiding the truth?"

His voice was not loud, and his emotion was very stable, yet it made Long Sanlin tremble even more violently.

"I... I, the Lotus Ring, I... I..."

Long Sanlin stuttered through his words, his face filled with fear, the pressure from Qin Chuan was so great that he struggled to speak coherently.

Qin Chuan was in no hurry, calmly watching Long Sanlin.

"It’s, it’s..."

Long Sanlin simply couldn’t utter the name.

Qin Chuan asked, "Who is it?"

Long Sanlin finally uttered, "I... I really don’t know!"

"Don’t know?"

Qin Chuan raised an eyebrow, and his imperial might erupted.

Long Sanlin instantly prostrated on the ground, under the imperial might, the bones that were just crushed by Hong Yu hurt even more.

"Mr. Qin, I swear, what I said is true, I really don’t know who gave me the Lotus Ring, ah..."

Long Sanlin roared with all his might as if expending all his strength.

By his looks, he did not seem to be lying, and Qin Chuan’s frown deepened.

The reason Qin Chuan did not interfere while Murong Mingyue was torturing Long Sanlin earlier was not only to test Murong Mingyue, but also because he wanted to inquire about the origin of the Lotus Ring at the moment when Long Sanlin’s emotions completely collapsed.

When a person is at their most desperate, they are more likely to reveal the truth.

Though the emergence of the Lotus Ring seemed reasonable, Qin Chuan always felt that something was off. Was it too much of a coincidence that the Lotus Ring appeared when Qin Nian most needed power?

Long Sanlin used the Lotus Ring as a reward for Miao Dahai to poison Murong Fu with Gu, and then when he had his eyes on Miao Dahai, Miao handed over the Lotus Ring in exchange for a quick end to his life, and then he returned the Lotus Ring to Qin Nian.

After that, people from the Ancient Martial World kept coming to the Secular World in search of the Lotus Ring.

Qin Chuan asked, "Is it not the case that you acquired the Lotus Ring from the Long Family?"

"Thud!"

Dragon Family Patriarch Long Qianqiu, upon hearing Qin Chuan’s words, immediately felt his knees weaken and fell to his knees on the ground, his face full of terror.

Although Qin Chuan had not questioned him, he was still frightened.

"Please discern the truth, Mr. Qin, the Lotus Ring you speak of was definitely not given to Long Sanlin by the Long Family."

Long Qianqiu said with a frightened face: "Although Long Sanlin is a member of our Long Family, he is not a direct descendant, just an insignificant side branch, and he has no qualification to obtain any treasure from the Long Family."

Qin Chuan didn’t even glance at Long Qianqiu, his gaze still fixed on Long Sanlin.

Long Sanlin hastily said: "The Dragon Family Patriarch is right, I am not a direct descendant of the Long Family, I have no qualification to get anything from the Long Family, otherwise, I wouldn’t have married into the Murong Family as a son-in-law."

"If the Lotus Ring did not come from the Long Family, then where did it come from."

Qin Chuan said calmly: "Don’t think about trying to fool me, otherwise I will make you experience the pain that Miao Dahai experienced before his death."

Indeed!

A shock went through Long Sanlin’s heart, he knew that Miao Dahai must have died at Qin Chuan’s hands.

With this confirmation, where would Long Sanlin dare to hide anything, he quickly said: "It was an old man with white hair who gave me the Lotus Ring, and it was he who told me, inside this ring were hidden all the treasures of the annihilated Qin Family, and it was he who proposed to me, to use this ring to seek a trade with Master Miao, to have Master Miao help me dispose of Murong Fu."

At these words, everyone was stunned.

Just now Long Sanlin had denied it, but with these words he had admitted that he had colluded with that Gu Art master named Miao Dahai to infect Murong Fu with Gu poison.

"Sanlin!"

Murong Qin was as if struck by lightning, her face full of disbelief as she looked at Long Sanlin and asked: "Is it really you?"

Long Sanlin, grinding his teeth, said: "Everything I did, wasn’t it all for you? If Murong Fu doesn’t die, how could you possibly take control of the Murong Family?"

"No!"

Murong Qin’s emotions completely collapsed, tears flowed like a breached flood, she shouted: "It’s not you! Sanlin, tell me quickly, you didn’t collude with the Gu Art master to curse my father with Gu poison!"

"Shut up!"

Long Sanlin said fiercely: "Do you know what people outside have been saying about me all these years? They say that I am just a despicable son-in-law who married into the family, a son-in-law who can be discarded by the Murong Family at any time!"

"Foolish woman, do you really think I was doing it so you could control the Murong Family? If you don’t take control over the Murong Family, how can I control the Murong Family through you?"

"You, you..."

Murong Qin was stunned, tears streaming down non-stop, she couldn’t accept this reality.

The man she had deeply loved for decades had always been using her, even harboring the thought of controlling the Murong Family through her, and had even colluded with a Gu Art master to poison her father with Gu poison.

Qin Chuan frowned and coldly stared at Long Sanlin, asking: "Do you remember the face of that old man?"

Long Sanlin suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly nodded: "With a painter, it should be possible to draw the face of the other party based on my description."

Qin Chuan swept his gaze across the room and asked: "I need a painter, who can find one for me at the fastest speed, there will be a great reward!"

Upon hearing his words, the nobles of the Nine Gates of Yandu were ecstatic.

"Mr. Qin, I will contact my family right away, ensuring to find you a painter with the utmost speed."

"Mr. Qin, give me half an hour, and I guarantee to find you a painter."

...

For a moment, the nobles of the Nine Gates of Yandu expressed their willingness.

Just then, a fearful female voice suddenly rang out: "May I, may I give it a try?"
