The School Beauty’s Super Rogue
Chapter 85 - 85 84 Witch Race Saintess

85: Chapter 84 Witch Race Saintess 85: Chapter 84 Witch Race Saintess Qin Hao knew that Xiao Lingtian had always been decisive and straightforward, never procrastinating in action.

If he said he would act, he would surely follow through.

Moreover, with his intelligence, he must have calculated everything and prepared for battle before coming here.

But Qin Hao was not afraid.

At worst, he would fight him vigorously!

Asking him to bow his head?

Absolutely impossible!

His bones might be shattered, but he would never bend his back!

Xiao Lingtian’s gaze flickered.

After a long silence, he sighed lightly and withdrew his hand that was about to draw a sword, saying, “What a Night Emperor!

To think you could make me so reluctant to strike someone so talented, to the point where I can’t draw my sword.

I have never admired anyone so much!”

“You flatter me, you flatter me.” Qin Hao crossed his legs, remaining calm from start to finish.

“However, I must eliminate this potential threat!

I am stationed in the Southeast, protecting the lives of hundreds of millions of Huaxia people.

I must be responsible for their safety, which is my duty!

So you must convince me that you pose no threat to Huaxia.

I will give you this chance!” Xiao Lingtian gazed at Qin Hao with flickering eyes and said.

“Convince you?

Is there any need for that?” Qin Hao just smiled and said, “I, Qin Hao, have lived my life with integrity.

It’s not important how I say I am, what’s important is that my actions have already defined what kind of person I am.”

“While abroad, my Nightmare has never had any conflicts with Huaxia military personnel; that is my order.”

“Because I know that we share the same blood, although Huaxia likes internal strife, abroad, we must stand united against outsiders.

We can’t allow foreign devils to be arrogant before us!”

“As for my Nightmare, how many overseas Chinese have we saved?

How many hostages have I personally rescued from bandit nests?

I can’t remember, nor did I keep track!

Because we act with a clear conscience and have never taken any benefits from it; it’s purely from the heart.”

“Your Sharp Blade, how can it compare to us?”

Qin Hao laughed coldly and then disdainfully chose not to say more.

Whether he is beneficial or harmful to Huaxia, let Xiao Lingtian judge for himself!

After a long silence, Xiao Lingtian retracted his killing aura; he had made his choice.

“What a pity, my Sharp Blade cannot accommodate someone as talented as you; it’s truly regrettable.” Xiao Lingtian sighed and then opened his flask, taking a big gulp of wine, and said, “Never mind, with your temperament, if you joined the military, it might also be a trouble.”

“You’re just consoling yourself because you can’t have me.

I understand, I understand.” Qin Hao smiled, simultaneously feeling relieved.

If he were forced to fight Xiao Lingtian, the pressure on Qin Hao would be immense.

The most crucial part was that fighting Xiao Lingtian would mean going against the whole of Huaxia, something Qin Hao couldn’t bear.

Peacefully resolving things now was the best outcome.

Xiao Lingtian took a swig of wine, then wiped the corner of his mouth, looked at Qin Hao, and said: “Since you won’t join my Sharp Blade, let’s cooperate instead.”

“Cooperate?”

Qin Hao narrowed his eyes, then smiled and said: “Has something big happened recently?

Do you really need my help?

First, forcing me to join Sharp Blade, now talking about cooperation?”

Qin Hao understood now.

After all, the reason Xiao Lingtian came this time was to ask for his help.

Trying to take action earlier was probably to give him a deterrent?

Qin Hao found it amusing.

How naive this person was, thinking he could scare him?

Not boasting, but in this life, the only people he feared were his mother, Liu Shiyuan, Lin Yuhan, Zhao Mengke, the God of Thieves, and that Dead Fatty, etc., etc….who else?

That’s not boasting!

At this point, Xiao Lingtian, after a moment of silence, said: “Recently, a group of B-level assassins infiltrated Huaxia; you should know this news too.”

Qin Hao nodded and then said in confusion: “What about it?

Did that anger you?

Do you feel they don’t regard you?

Then go and kill them all, isn’t it easy with your strength?”

“It’s not that simple.”

Xiao Lingtian shook his head and said: “With me stationed in the Southeast Region, although assassins have sneaked into Huaxia over the past ten years, this is the first time we’ve seen such a well-organized and premeditated large-scale infiltration.

Even though I haven’t struck in ten years, my authority remains.

However, this time they’ve chosen to anger me, they must have something they absolutely must do, even at the cost of their lives!”

“So?” Qin Hao asked.

“After investigating, I found that they came to Huaxia for one person.” Xiao Lingtian’s expression turned more solemn as he uttered four words: “Witch Race Saintess!”

Qin Hao suddenly furrowed his brows and said: “Witch Race?”

“Yes.” Xiao Lingtian nodded heavily, with a hint of apprehension in his eyes.

The Witch Race, a mysterious race, had left all sorts of bizarre and exotic legends in the river of history.

“The Witch Race is adept with Gu Poison, and its lethality is far greater than that of the Miao Race.

If someone were poisoned, even someone as strong as you or me might suffer great harm.”

Xiao Lingtian said: “And among the Witch Race, it is said there exists the most potent Gu Poison, housed within their Ancestral Temple, which requires the blood of the Witch Race Saintess to unlock.

Sixteen years ago, the Witch Race faced annihilation, and the Witch Race Saintess was kidnapped while still in swaddling clothes.

Her whereabouts remain unknown to this day.

Recently, these assassins seem to have caught some leads and have come to Huaxia to search for this Witch Race Saintess.”

“The Witch Race is truly mysterious.

But what exactly happened sixteen years ago?

The disaster of extermination?

There must be a reason behind it?”

Qin Hao’s eyes flashed, then narrowed as he keenly noticed Xiao Lingtian’s expression slightly stir, with perhaps a trace of guilt, but Xiao Lingtian remained silent.

“Night Emperor, let’s cooperate.

This group of assassins disappeared near Qingshan City.

The Witch Race Saintess might be in Qingshan City.

You help me find her and eliminate the assassins in the process.” Xiao Lingtian changed the subject and said: “I need to make a trip to the Imperial Capital soon, so I’m stretched thin.”

“Since it’s a collaboration, what’s my reward?” Qin Hao smiled and asked.

“Enjoy the privileges of my Sharp Blade!” After finishing, Xiao Lingtian dug into his pocket and took out a black leather credential, throwing it to Qin Hao, saying: “You should like this thing.”

“Oh?”

Qin Hao took it and looked at it.

This black leather credential turned out to be a Sharp Blade officer certificate, with Qin Hao’s photo already attached.

He was instantly amused and said: “Did you already prepare this for me ahead of time?

Are you so confident about me joining Sharp Blade?”

“Originally, if you disagreed, I planned to forcibly subdue you, but I just realized that’s impossible, so let’s cooperate.

It benefits both of us, like…”

Xiao Lingtian glanced at Qin Hao with a half-smile and said: “With this credential, it will save you a lot of trouble dealing with the Qin Family, right?

When a wolf returns, it’s either to repay gratitude or for revenge.

Since you’re back in Huaxia, I guess the Qin Family is in for a hard time.”

“You’re smart.”

Qin Hao smiled, nodded, and said: “In that case, I’ll accept it unceremoniously.

I’ll borrow this credential, but this is just a transaction.

I’ll help look for the Witch Race Saintess, but there’s no guarantee I will find her.

By the way, even if I find her, how should I deal with it?”

Xiao Lingtian paused for a moment, then said: “Execute on the spot!”

Execute on the spot!

Qin Hao hesitated for a moment, then considering the potential threat of the Witch Race Saintess, indeed the risk was too great.

If there was indeed the strongest Gu Poison and it fell into the assassins’ hands, it would cause widespread destruction.

“Alright.”

Qin Hao nodded and agreed since he and the Witch Race Saintess had no relation, at most, they would only pass by each other like water.

Showing mercy could only lead to calamity!

“In that case, I won’t disturb you any longer.” Xiao Lingtian stood up and said.

“Leaving so soon?”

Qin Hao looked at Xiao Lingtian with a half-smile and said: “Xiao Lingtian, there’s a score I haven’t settled with you yet!”
