Chapter 577: Chapter 577: He Disguised Himself

The girl’s voice was very light and gentle, just hearing the voice, one could guess that she was an extremely tender and timid girl.

Everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice, including Qin Chuan, only to see a woman about twenty years old from the Mu Family’s side, who was looking at Qin Chuan with a scared face.

As Qin Chuan looked back at her, she became even more panicked, hurriedly lowering her head and nervously rubbing the hem of her clothes with her hands.

Although he only glanced at her face, Qin Chuan felt struck by her appearance; what a pure girl!

It wasn’t that he lusted after beautiful women, but that she was truly very beautiful.

The girl was dressed in a simple yet noble white gown, wearing a clear diamond necklace around her neck, with long black hair gently falling, and her almond eyes were very expressive, yet she always avoided direct eye contact, seemingly with a hint of imperceptible evasion.

However, when her gaze inadvertently met Qin Chuan’s, that gentle look always engendered a sense of pity.

Among these heavily made-up, high society women, she was like a refreshing stream, gentle yet dignified, and her unintended display of timidity added an additional endearing charm.

Qin Chuan’s eyes were very clear, showing only appreciation as he asked, "Are you a painter?"

The girl then mustered the courage to look at Qin Chuan and said timidly, "My name is Mu Weiwei, a painting student at Yandu University."

Qin Chuan said, "Then you give it a try!"

Upon hearing this, the affluent and influential people who were just eager to help Qin Chuan find a painter now all had looks of disappointment.

Mu Chenghuang, the Mu Family Head, was visibly excited and hurriedly said to Mu Weiwei, "Weiwei, you must do your best to help Mr. Qin, and be sure not to disappoint him!"

Mu Weiwei nodded lightly, then turned her gaze towards Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan instructed Long Sanlin, "Now, describe the appearance of the elderly man who gave you the Lotus Ring."

Long Sanlin asked tremblingly, "Mr. Qin, if I..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Qin Chuan, "Today, you must die! If what you do satisfies me, I can give you a quick end."

Qin Chuan was not worried that Long Sanlin would disobey. If he really dared defy him, he wouldn’t mind letting Long Sanlin taste the pain of the Five Poisons Gu Formation.

Long Sanlin had a face full of despair, having been completely subdued after the torment from Hong Yu.

With no hope for survival, he could only give up, and only after calming his emotions slightly did he say, "The man appeared to be just over sixty years old, with white hair, a lean face..."

As Long Sanlin recalled and narrated, Mu Weiwei continued to outline the character with her brush. At first, it was just a rough shape, but as Long Sanlin provided more description, the figure on Mu Weiwei’s paper became clearer and clearer.

After just ten minutes, Mu Weiwei put down her brush and turned the paper towards Long Sanlin, asking, "Is this the old man you spoke of?"

"Yes, yes, yes! That’s him!"

Long Sanlin was shocked when he saw the portrait. He spoke to Qin Chuan, "Mr. Qin, it was this old man. He gave me the Lotus Ring and told me that it contained all the wealth of the exterminated Qin Family. He also said that it was impossible for me to open the Lotus Ring, and it was useless for me to have it."

"He then asked me if I wanted to control the Murong Family. As a son-in-law who started from the bottom, I was looked down upon in Yandu. After hearing his proposition, how could I not be tempted? So, I admitted my desire to take control of the Murong Family."

"He was very pleased with my response. He said that although he couldn’t give me all the wealth of the Qin Family, he could help me take control of the Murong Family. He instructed me to trade the Lotus Ring with a Master of Gu Technique named Master Miao and have him plant Gu poison in Murong Fu. Once Murong Fu was dead, the Murong Family would inevitably fall into chaos. At the appropriate time, he would lend me a helping hand."

"Ever since Murong Fu died, I’ve tried to contact him but never got a response. It wasn’t until you mentioned it that I realized Master Miao had died at your hands."

Upon hearing Long Sanlin’s words, everyone present was extremely shocked, especially the members of the Murong Family. They hadn’t expected that their family was almost controlled by an outsider.

Murong Mingyue, grinding her teeth with rage, said, "Long Sanlin, you’re nothing but an animal. Grandfather was so good to you, yet you plotted to kill him and seize power."

After saying that, she turned her gaze to Murong Qin and angrily said, "This is the man you trusted so much. Now, do you have anything to say?"

Murong Qin stared blankly at Long Sanlin, tears brimming uncontrollably.

She deeply loved this man and had never doubted his sincerity towards her, nor had she ever imagined that he would collude with a Master of Gu Technique to kill her father.

Qin Chuan suddenly asked, "Long Sanlin, do you have any last words?"

Long Sanlin, knowing he was about to die, was struck by fear that completely overwhelmed his emotions. He started crying and begging, "Mr. Qin, I was wrong, I truly know my mistakes. Please don’t kill me. If you let me live, I will pray for you day and night. You are a great person, please spare my life, please?"

Qin Chuan’s expression remained unchanged, devoid of the slightest pity for such a man.

Long Sanlin, who today could go to the extent of killing his benefactor—the father-in-law who had taken him in—for the sake of power, could very well commit even worse deeds in the future.

Such a person, it wouldn’t be too much to call him a mere beast.

Qin Chuan said abruptly, "Since you have no regrets, I will now send you on your way."

"Thud!"

The previously stunned Murong Qin, upon hearing Qin Chuan’s words, immediately knelt down, her face already wet with tears, choking up as she said, "Mr. Qin, for Mingyue’s sake, can you spare Long Sanlin’s life, please?"

Qin Chuan looked at Murong Qin coldly and asked, "He wanted to kill your father, even seeking others to help him take control of the Murong Family. If I let him go today, and he gains power again in the future, he will surely make a comeback. Knowing this, are you sure you want to plead for him?"

Murong Qin’s face instantly froze, and then her expression became conflicted, painful, and tormented, a mix of emotions crossing her features.

"No, I will absolutely have no further covetous thoughts towards the Murong Family. My wife, please believe me, I will never betray the Murong Family again,"

Long Sanlin became frantic, crying out loud.

Murong Qin did not respond; she closed her eyes, tears flowing ceaselessly from them.

Just when everyone was waiting for Murong Qin’s answer, Mu Weiwei’s voice suddenly rang out, "The old man in the portrait, he is in disguise!"
