The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 986 - 984: The New Chairman

The visit from the Five-star Spiritual Cuisine Master made Xin Lin feel something was amiss.

"Indeed, logically speaking, such a small place as Longteng Country doesn’t usually attract the attention of the three giants. But this time, something is different. Aside from the incidents involving the two Presidents, there’s another reason. This Tu Suxia is related by marriage to Master Zhao. Master Chen’s daughter was married to Tu Suxia as a concubine. Otherwise, how could Master Chen have become the president of the Purple Cloud Spirit Cuisine Master Association back then."

Jiang Qing smiled and explained.

"There’s another point. You might have heard a bit about this as well. Rumor has it that the Dragon Bait capable of luring out the True Dragon appeared in Purple Cloud City. Some even say President Mu died because of the Dragon Bait, and so far, his remains are still missing. This Tu Suxia comes to Purple Cloud City seemingly for the Spirit Cuisine Master Association and Master Chen, but ultimately, it’s probably for the True Dragon and the Dragon Bait."

Upon hearing this, Xin Lin suddenly understood.

As Jiang Qing spoke, he was half-smiling, half-not, looking at Xin Lin.

The little Xin Lin in front of him, with her wide black eyes, was full of astonishment, looking quite "inquisitive and whimsical."

However... Jiang Qing chuckled, not delving deeper.

"Brother Jiang, to be honest, I actually know a bit about the Dragon Bait."

Xin Lin thought for a while and then said softly.

"Feel free to speak, there’s a prohibition set up in this back hall."

After Jiang Qing spoke, Xin Lin glanced around and indeed found that the doors and windows of the back hall had a faint movement of spiritual power.

Xin Lin briefly recounted the matter regarding President Mu.

For safety, she omitted the parts about Mu Yi and Black Water Lake, only mentioning President Mu being harmed by someone and his remains were absent.

"Who would have thought, the Dragon Bait turned out to be a few fish eggs. Poor President Mu was schemed in this so-called True Dragon matter his entire life."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qing sighed and shook his head.

"Brother Jiang, I am puzzled about one thing. If the vassal country seeks the True Dragon for the so-called Dragon Vein, why are the three main countries so keen on finding the True Dragon as well?"

According to Xin Lin’s knowledge, the Young Master Tu from Tu Yuan Country and the Tusu Clan from Fuzhou were among those from the three main countries, with only Shengri Country not having sent anyone yet.

Or perhaps, Shengri Country might have already made a move, just that she wasn’t aware for now.

"Xin, there’s something you may not know. The reason why the three main countries have stood for many years is because their powers are equivalent. They may look harmonious, but in reality, they are often in open and secret contention, never ceasing their rivalry. With the appearance of the True Dragon, an individual who acquires the Dragon Vein could become an unparalleled powerhouse. If a country were to obtain the True Dragon Vein, it could strengthen the entire nation. Should the sovereign of any of the three main countries get the True Dragon Vein, they could suppress the other two main countries. At that point, the Eastern Continent would be unified under one nation. But for now, the three main countries have not torn apart the facade, so they cannot officially send people to Longteng. Instead, they come to Longteng Purple Cloud City under various guises, aiming to uncover the matters surrounding the True Dragon and the Dragon Bait."

The Hei Yao Castle does not belong to any main country, so they do not meddle with the Dragon Bait affair.

However, the Dragon Vein matter is quite tempting even for Hei Yao Castle.

Xin Lin discovering the truth about the Dragon Bait is inherently a very dangerous matter.

"I see, so this time Fuzhou sent people, it’s still for the Dragon Bait and the True Dragon."

Only then did Xin Lin come to understand.
