Ye Qiu had heard the name of the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old before.
Last night at the Crystal Palace, he had heard Xiao Qingdi mention it. At that time, Ye Qiu had noticed that the Dragon King’s face was very solemn, as if he was very afraid of this Nine-Thousand-Year-Old.
”Dragon King, who exactly is this Nine-Thousand-Year-Old？” Ye Qiu asked.
“He is the Dragon Gate.” the Dragon King replied.
”The Dragon Gate？”
Ye Qiu was even more confused. It was the first time he had heard of this organization.
The Dragon King said, “The Dragon Gate was established less than half a year ago and has already taken over the underground forces in fourteen northern provinces. And the person in charge of the Dragon Gate is the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old.”
Hiss——
Ye Qiu took a deep breath.
The Nine-Thousand-Year-Old had become the boss of the underground world in fourteen northern provinces in less than half a year, which showed how terrifying this person was.
Although the Dragon King was the leader of the underground forces in Jiangzhou, compared with the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old, he was simply insignificant.
No wonder the Dragon King was so afraid of the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old.
The Dragon King continued, “The goal of the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old is not only the fourteen northern provinces. He wants to unify the entire underground forces of China.”
“There were also people who laughed at Lord Nine Thousand before, thinking that he was daydreaming. After all, for thousands of years, few people could achieve this.”
“However, Lord Nine Thousand only took half a year to subdue the underground forces in the fourteen northern provinces with a thunderous force, making those who laughed at him shut their mouths one after another.”
“Next, Lord Nine Thousand is going to start sweeping the south.”
“Jiangzhou, as the largest city in the central part of China, is Lord Nine Thousand’s next target.”
“If it were before, I would just submit directly. Lord Nine Thousand is clear about rewards and punishments and should not make things difficult for me. But now, I’m afraid that even if I submit, I won’t be able to get away unscathed.”
“Ye Qiu immediately understood and asked, “Is it because of Xiao Qingdi？”
“That’s right.” The Dragon King said, The Purple Gold Token is the token of the Dragon Gate. Seeing the token is like seeing the Dragon Gate. Xiao Qingdi passed on a message to me with the Purple Gold Token. Not only did I not listen, but I also made him seriously injured on my territory. This matter, Lord Nine Thousand will definitely investigate.”
“Similarly, you injured Xiao Qingdi, and Lord Nine Thousand will not spare you either.”
The most fatal is that I just got the news that Lord Nine Thousand was assassinated in Jiangzhou last night.
“Assassinated？” Ye Qiu was surprised.”
“The Dragon King said in a deep voice, “I just received the news that five of Lord Nine Thousand’s bodyguards died last night, and his adopted son was seriously injured. Whether he is dead or alive is still unknown, but Lord Nine Thousand is fine.”
“With the 9000-year-old’s way of doing things, Jiangzhou will definitely change in the next step. So leaving Jiangzhou now is the only choice.”
The Dragon King said to Ye Qiu： “You should go home and pack up quickly, and meet your mother and Zhao Yun at the airport at noon to leave China.”
“Where to go？” Ye Qiu asked.
“Australia.”
Ye Qiu fell silent.
The Dragon King saw that Ye Qiu didn’t want to leave and continued to persuade： “The 9000-year-old has a huge force. If you hide in the country, you will be found by him soon. Therefore, going abroad is the best choice.”
Zhao Yun also persuaded： “The Dragon King has arranged everything. When you arrive abroad, you don’t have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation.”
“I’m not worried about this. I just don’t want to go abroad.” Ye Qiu said.
“Why？”
Both the Dragon King and Zhao Yun were very puzzled.
“I want to find my biological father.” Ye Qiu said seriously.
To this day, he still doesn’t know who his biological father is, which is Ye Qiu’s heart disease.
He wants to find his biological father and then ask why he abandoned their mother and son back then？
Why didn’t he contact them for so many years？
Of course, his biological father may have already died.
But no matter what, Ye Qiu has to find out. Alive, he wants to see the person; dead, he wants to see the body！
The Dragon King said again： “You can tell me about your father, and I will send someone to help you find him.”
Dragon King, don’t deceive me. You are now in a difficult situation yourself. How can you help me find my father? Ye Qiu said, “You don’t need to persuade me about this matter. I won’t go abroad. I think my mother is also unwilling to go abroad.”
“But…”
“Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor depend on heaven. You don’t need to persuade me anymore.”
“Alas…” Seeing Ye Qiu’s firm attitude, the Dragon King let out a long sigh.
Zhao Yun didn’t give up and said again, “Ye Qiu, we can slowly think of a way about the matter of you looking for your father, but for now, it’s important to save your life. Come with me.”
”Brother Zhao, thank you. As I just said, life and death are determined by fate. You don’t need to persuade me anymore.”
”Why are you so stubborn, kid？” Zhao Yun was a little angry.
”Forget it, let Xiao Ye do as he pleases.” The Dragon King exhorted Ye Qiu, “In these few days, you must be careful.”
“Hmm.” Ye Qiu nodded, his heart moved, and he asked, “Dragon King, have you ever seen the Ninth Thousand Years Old？”
The Dragon King shook his head： “Never seen.”
“Then do you know what kind of person he is？” Ye Qiu asked again.
There was a deep fear on the Dragon King’s face, and he spat out four words： “Unfathomable.”
“Can you be more specific？”
“I’ve never met the Nine Thousand Years Old. Judging from his way of doing things, he has both a cunning and treacherous side, and a heroic side. If I had to describe him with one word, a person of great ambition and resourcefulness who is often unscrupulous.
“Hero A?” LikeCaoCao?
“Yes！ He is very much like Cao Cao, insidious and ruthless yet extremely intelligent.”
“Why is he called the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old？” Ye Qiu always felt that the title of the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old was not very good. In the past, those eunuchs with overwhelming power in the imperial court would only be called the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old.”
The Dragon King said, “Because he is a eunuch.”
What！
Ye Qiu’s face was full of shock.
The dignified the Dragon Gate was actually a eunuch?
The Dragon King said, “It is rumored that when the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old was young, he liked a woman and they loved each other. Later, this woman died. The Nine-Thousand-Year-Old, having lost his beloved, cut off his own genitals with a knife to show that he would only love one person for life.”
Ye Qiu was a bit speechless. No matter how much he liked a woman, there was no need to cut off his own genitals, right？
Could it be that the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old had practiced martial arts like the Evil Resisting Sword Manual？
“Dragon King, how is the martial arts of the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old？”
“The Nine-Thousand-Year-Old doesn’t know martial arts.”
“No way！” Ye Qiu said, “A person who doesn’t know martial arts can subdue the underground forces in the fourteen northern provinces？”
“Wasn’t Lu Xun in the Three Kingdoms just a scholar, yet he could also command thousands of troops？” The Dragon King said, “Although the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old doesn’t know martial arts, his talent, courage, and resourcefulness are first-class in the world. Even the Champion Marquis Xiao Jiu and Bai Yujing admire him very much.”
“Who is Bai Yujing？” Ye Qiu heard a new name again and was a bit curious.
“You don’t know？” The Dragon King’s eyes were a bit strange, as if he thought Ye Qiu knew.
Ye Qiu shook his head.
“Bai Yujing is the eldest grandson of the old man of the Bai family in the capital. He is known as the two heroes of the contemporary era together with Xiao Jiu, the Champion Marquis. He is also Bai Bing’s cousin.”
Damn it——
Ye Qiu was stunned.
“Alright, you go down first. The Ninth Thousand-Year is here, and I also need to make some arrangements.”
Ye Qiu got out of the car.
It was only when Zhao Yun started the car that he woke up and hurriedly asked, “By the way, Dragon King, what is the real name of the Ninth Thousand-Year？”
“Cao Yuan！”
