Song Que didn't wait to be asked before he said:
"If Li Wanye hasn't done anything and has kept a low profile, then that ans he will help you."
"How will he help ? And why would he help ? What should I do then?"
"I don't know how he will help you, but he's helping because he wants to avoid offending both sides. What you need to do is wait."
After learning about the internal strife within the Song Family, Song Que also understood the aning behind Tang Xian's words, and suddenly everything made sense.
Li Wanye's habit was to consider defeat before victory, so he would always leave himself a way out, which could beco a dead end if Song Que and his companions didn't tread carefully.
Song Que quietly pondered, thought for a mont, and decided to try to return to the first fortress. As long as Yu Xiaozhe and Lin Sen were there, he wasn't worried about being recognized.
With that in mind, Song Que prepared to enter the room to inquire about so matters with Lin Jue, including so information about Baichuan City, which Lin Jue, Ye Feng, and others were also very keen to know.
Ye Feng had once asked Song Que if they really had no future?
And that future was now in Baichuan City, Song Que also hoped that these forr companions could go to Baichuan City.
Just as he was about to leave, Qin Qian suddenly called out to Song Que:
"Song…"
"Hmm? Miss Qin, is there sothing else?"
Qin Qian bit her lip, her face reddening slightly, her eyes drifting, but then she steadied her breath and said:
"Song, do you… have soone you like?"
Qin Qian lowered her head.
She was known as the demoness, and it was rare for anyone to see Qin Qian's shy deanor.
The demoness also had a great figure, and just standing there she was a spectacle to behold.
Even Song Que, as dense as he was, understood what Qin Qian was getting at,
No wonder he had been feeling that she was looking at him with… with excessive enthusiasm.
Song Que froze, unsure of how to react.
Qin Qian didn't directly say that she liked him, but she was quite confident.
Her eyes were filled with allure, waiting for Song Que's response.
But after more than ten seconds, Song Que still didn't respond.
She suddenly beca anxious, but still waited.
Ti seed to slow down. What was only a few seconds felt like an eternity to Qin Qian.
It was, indeed, a very long ti before she heard Song Que sigh softly, his voice gentle:
"There is."
Qin Qian looked up, eting Song Que's candid gaze.
She was initially quite excited, feeling overwheld by imnse happiness, but soon all these feelings vanished into thin air.
Song Que's gaze was too honest and natural.
So much so that Qin Qian quickly realized, Song Que did have soone he liked in his heart, and it was true, and that person… was not her.
Qin Qian smiled bitterly.
Just with two sentences, one asking and the other answering, both understood what the other ant.
Qin Qian was forthright, though still a bit regretful and unwilling, she asked:
"Which family's daughter is so fortunate? Does she like you too, Song?"
"She's a doctor from Baichuan City; she took care of throughout the period when I was injured."
Song Que suddenly felt embarrassed not knowing how to answer such a personal question, but since Qin Qian and Lin Jue had been through life and death with him, Song Que wouldn't hide anything from them.
"As for whether… she… she likes , I don't know..."
Perhaps she doesn't like ? Miss Qiao, being a physician, is kind to all patients.
But that kindness was always different from the way the second lady treated Tang Xian.
Song Que was also afraid of being presumptuous, so he had never expressed his feelings, as he really lacked experience in this area.
If Qiao Shanshan knew what Song Que thought, she would regret not listening to the second lady's advice to be bolder.
That's how this world is, so chatter endlessly and eloquently about n and won and such matters, while others stay silent and dull.
The result might be that the latter are already in love, and it's very sweet, while the forr, despite their endless talk, remain... single.
When the topic of conversation no longer revolves around oneself, continuing the discussion is akin to rubbing salt into the wound. Qin Qian didn't want to be insensitive; her heart ached, yet she still wore a smile on her face.
Song Que nodded and then walked inside.
...
...
Seven days later, at the first bastion. The sixth floor, the Song Family.
As Qin Qian had said, Song Gengzhao was having a tough ti.
The recent days had brought extre highs and lows for Song Que, and wasn't it the sa for Song Gengzhao?
Song Que had returned to the sacred bastion in a blaze of glory, and Song Gengzhao was delighted, proudly parading him around everywhere.
When Song Que revealed that his talents were lost and he had been reduced to a cripple, Song Gengzhao was struck as if by lightning, taking a wrong path in his desperation and sending his own son to a place like the Evolution Zone. Consequently, his position began to subtly shift, and the situation within the Song Family grew gloomy.
During the election for the leader of the Ark Bastion, the Li family was basking in limitless glory, not a single bastion leader, including Song Gengzhao, was able to overshadow Li Wanye.
The only exception was Song Que. When Song Que revealed that he was "Zhuo Youcai," the stunned expressions of the entire gathering also prompted Song Gengzhao to change his stance imdiately, supporting Song Que.
But fate seed to be particularly harsh on him. Song Que sohow regained his talents, which might have been related to the Evolution Zone, or perhaps he had encountered an extraordinary adventure. Indeed, Song Que beca the leader of the Ark Bastion.
At that ti, Song Gengzhao thought it was ti to hand over the first bastion to Song Que, and it was ti to apologize to him.
On the matter of the Evolution Zone, he, as a father, truly went too far, blinded by interests.
But who could have predicted that Song Que would quickly beco embroiled in an even greater controversy?
The masked fiend, a follower of the demon child, a devil intent on destroying humanity, the captor of hundreds of thousands of people...
Overnight, he stood on the opposite side of the Order. He stood against the Pyramid system.
In the recent days, Song Gengzhao had barely left his ho, even as his brothers started to beco restless, deciding to divide up the rich pickings of the Song Family, and even as the youth from the sixth family suddenly transford from soone with poor talent into a man full of talent, Song Gengzhao had mostly ignored it all.
He was tired.
Song Gengzhao suddenly realized that he could not outmaneuver Li Wanye.
Li Wanye planned farther ahead, and in many areas, his heart was more ruthless than his. Yet there was one thing that set them apart: Li Wanye had never betrayed his own family.
Li Xiaonian had an extrely poor reputation, yet Li Wanye didn't treat him as a burden, and now, Li Xiaonian had finally beco one of the pillars of the Li family.
Even Li Xiaoyu was, after all, just in love with a non-human.
After all, any father would be distressed if his daughter fell in love with the demon child of Eden, the greatest enemy of the Orderers.
But from the beginning to the end, Li Wanye never gave up on Li Xiaoyu. No matter how great the enmity between the father and daughter was at that ti, ti would erase it.
But what about himself?
Now that he thought about it, Song Gengzhao was filled with regret. What kind of place was the Evolution Zone?
How many of those who went there could still be called human?
He had actually forced his own son to be perfect out of a vanity in his heart.
mbers of the Song household, who occasionally saw Song Gengzhao, could only sense the desolation in the eyes of the family head.
On the lower levels, people were indignant or passionately calling for a change of leadership.
And among the higher levels, the old mbers of the various branches of the Song Family harbored their own sches, while the younger generation began to grow unruly.
Song Gengzhao saw all this but never did anything.
He was truly tired. And truly old.
Sotis he would take out photos of himself and Song Que from their childhood, and one look would last an entire afternoon.
Like today.
As people age, they tend to be filled with regrets. Reminiscing over the past, Song Gengzhao sat in his study, his figure appearing imnsely lonely.
He still didn't know what to do, only pondering whether his son, who had been in the mining area for so long, was safe now.
If he was safe, would he be willing to forgive him?
Song Gengzhao had grown tired of dealing with the family affairs. Song Zhuo had concealed his abilities, biding his ti for so many years, and Song Gengzhao could imagine what kind of maneuvers he had in store, but what could he do?
Song Gengzhao gazed at the photo of Song Que and silently waited as ti passed.
But this day was different because the phone in the study suddenly rang.
Song Gengzhao was surprised. Who would call him at this ti? Very few people knew the number for the study's phone, and most tis, people would contact Song Gengzhao by calling the steward of the Song Family first.
The phone continued to ring, ringing seven tis until Song Gengzhao finally picked it up. He hadn't said a word yet when he heard the voice on the other end, and he suddenly froze:
"Dad, I'm back."
