Chapter 135: Undercurrents Surging
“Leng Qianqiu… 23 years old, Elite Level Trainer, Young Master of the Leng Family in the Eighteen Attribute Gyms, heir to the Ice Attribute Gym.”
Princess Ekaterina crossed her legs, looking at the information in her hand with great interest.
Princess Ekaterina asked teasingly, “Jynx, do you think the Leng Family knows something about this too?”
“Mii~”
Jynx indicated that she didn’t understand human conspiracies, so she refused to answer.
“Ma Lingyun, what do you think?” Princess Ekaterina asked again as she collected the information.
Ma Lingyun cautiously asked, “As far as I know, the Leng Family doesn’t have any powerful Psychic Type Pokémon. Do you think someone from the family side…”
Hearing this, a person’s name suddenly flashed in Princess Ekaterina’s mind.
But Princess Ekaterina quickly ruled out suspicion on Lu Li.
Lu Li had no relationship with the Leng Family at all, so it couldn’t be him.
“Looks like we need to hurry and take action. After all, a rival has already arrived now.” Princess Ekaterina muttered to herself.
………..
After arriving in Qingfeng City, the first people Leng Qianqiu visited were naturally the local tyrants here, the Jin Family and the Yu Family.
Upon receiving the news, Yu Zhonggang rushed to the Jin Family immediately.
In the Jin Family living room, Leng Qianqiu lazily lay on the sofa as if waiting for someone.
After Yu Zhonggang and the Jin Family Head entered, Leng Qianqiu quickly stood up from the sofa.
Leng Qianqiu quickly greeted them, “I’ve seen Gym Leader Yu, I’ve seen Jin Family Head.”
There was no smile on Leng Qianqiu’s face. Knowing what the Leng Family was like, Yu Zhonggang and the Jin Family Head didn’t say much.
After chatting idly for a moment, they got straight to the point.
Leng Qianqiu took out a photograph from his pocket.
“As far as I know, there are only two secret realms near Qingfeng City, one in Qingfeng City and the other deep within the Qingyun Mountain Range. I hope the two of you can mobilize your connections to help me find something.”
After Leng Qianqiu finished speaking, he pushed the photograph in front of the two.
The photograph showed a picture of a Pokémon Egg.
“I hope the two of you can help me find this egg. As the price, you can ask for anything.” Leng Qianqiu said directly.
Trainers are different from merchants; when talking about things, they are usually straightforward. Moreover, Leng Qianqiu wasn’t the type to beat around the bush.
Yu Zhonggang and the Jin Family Head glanced at each other, both seeing the color of inquiry in each other’s eyes.
Leng Qianqiu explained, “This is a Spine Dragon Pokémon Egg.”
Both the Jin Family and Yu Zhonggang followed the Steel-type path, so Leng Qianqiu wasn’t afraid of them intercepting this Spine Dragon Pokémon Egg.
Yu Zhonggang spoke first, “I want a Heavenly King Level Walrein Pokémon Egg, and a Pokémon Secret Treasure, preferably Water Attribute or Steel-type.”
Leng Qianqiu nodded.
“As long as you can help find that egg, I can agree to your request.”
“Then our Jin Family wants a Metagross Pokémon Egg.” The Jin Family Head immediately said.
Hearing this, Leng Qianqiu gave the Jin Family Head a deep look, then nodded, “No problem. Still the same words, as long as you can help find that egg.”
Although Metagross is a pseudo-legendary, the Jin Family Head didn’t specify the qualification, and with their Leng Family’s strength, pseudo-legendaries weren’t easy to obtain but weren’t impossible.
As long as they could get that Spine Dragon Pokémon Egg, this bit of price was completely worth it.
“I will mobilize all our connections to search for that egg. As long as the egg you mentioned is within the territory of Qingfeng City’s powers, we will definitely find it.” The Jin Family Head guaranteed.
Yu Zhonggang next to him also nodded.
At this moment, Yu Zhonggang finally understood why Princess Ekaterina had come to Qingfeng City.
At least Champion Level qualification Spine Dragon Pokémon Egg.
Thinking of this, Yu Zhonggang’s heart burned with excitement.
Pseudo-legendary + Champion Level qualification, what an uncommon combination of words.
Leng Qianqiu added, “I don’t want this matter to be known to the whole world.”
Yu Zhonggang reminded, “Young Master Leng, there’s something I need to tell you. Princess Ekaterina seems to be in our Qingfeng City too.”
“I know about this matter, but after all, the Jiuzhou Region is our territory.” Leng Qianqiu didn’t see Princess Ekaterina as a threat.
The other party’s family power was indeed strong, at least stronger than their Leng Family, but their Leng Family was the local tyrant in the Jiuzhou Region.
Leng Qianqiu truly wasn’t afraid at all that Princess Ekaterina would get there first.
After finishing the main business, Leng Qianqiu thanked again, “I’ll be disturbing here for the next few days.”
“No disturbance, no disturbance.”
The Jin Family Head quickly shook his head politely.
The Jin Family had come across the Leng Family’s big leg to hug; he was too happy, how could he feel it was trouble.
Yu Zhonggang thought the same.
“I’ll call someone right now to arrange a room for you.” The Jin Family Head quickly said.
Leng Qianqiu nodded.
After being led by a maid to a small courtyard, Leng Qianqiu expressionlessly closed the door of the small courtyard, then took out his phone to make a call.
“Rayne, I’ve already arrived in Qingfeng City. If I really get that egg, I will represent the Leng Family in supporting you.” Leng Qianqiu said excitedly.
“Don’t worry, in the future I saw, that Spine Dragon Pokémon Egg is definitely in Qingfeng City. Although I don’t know how that commoner got that egg.”
Rayne on the phone guaranteed.
Leng Qianqiu asked puzzledly, “Are you sure in the future you saw, the trainer of the Spine Dragon was really just a commoner?”
“Of course! But I didn’t see the other’s face. That person has some special ability that shielded his information. I could only learn about that person’s identity from other people’s futures, but that’s the limit.” Rayne said helplessly.
“Haha… this is already enough. I sincerely hope you can gain the recognition of the Ideal Dragon, my future lord.” After Leng Qianqiu finished, he hung up the phone.
The smile on Leng Qianqiu’s face that looked extremely forced quickly cooled, and he whispered, “If you don’t gain the recognition of the Ideal Dragon, you can’t blame me for going back on my word.”
………..
The surging undercurrents in the dark didn’t bring any change to Lu Li’s life.
At least for now, that’s how it was.
The next morning, Lu Li still arrived early at Jinling Center.
Today was the day of the match and the award ceremony.
Lu Li wasn’t looking forward to the match or anything; what he truly anticipated was the chance to enter the Alliance Treasure Vault.
Flying Heavenly King Ling Kong’s breeding notes, Lu Li was determined to get them.
“Next up is the finals of the Qingfeng City Grand Festival.”
“Let’s welcome the future champion and runner-up with warm applause.”
As the host loudly announced, Lu Li walked out from the passage.
The opposite Jin Guilin sincerely apologized, “I’m sorry about my mom’s matter. I hope she didn’t bring trouble to your life.”
“It’s fine, this matter is already in the past.” Lu Li smiled and comforted.
For now, Lu Li had a pretty good impression of Jin Guilin in front of him.
At least Jin Guilin’s personality was acceptable; he wasn’t that kind of dandy.
