Chapter 320 Bewitching
Qi Qiuheng seemed not to hear the sarcasm in Lin Shi's tone.
He showed an expression that all men understand to Lin Shi:
"It's not impossible. As long as we succeed, you and I can choose any beautiful woman we see at that time."
Qi Qiuheng stepped forward and continued to increase the stakes:
"Think about it, the whole world is now falling apart because of this glacial mutation, and the coverage of human technology has dropped to the lowest level since the industrial revolution.
It is the time when personal power has the highest influence!
Now these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are almost ownerless!
You and I will join forces. Not to mention being the master of Xia Kingdom, it is not impossible to be the master of the world!"
"The master of the world?"
The expression on Lin Shi's face changed.
It's not that he was tempted, but he felt that the head of the Qi family in front of him was really bold.
Is this the legendary dream that every villain has to dominate the world?
Qi Qiuheng took another step closer:
"You still don't know how long the life span of a fifth-level evolver is, right? According to the historical records of our hidden family, the maximum life span of a fifth-level evolver can reach more than 300 years.
The Qin Emperor was poisoned to death because he only lived for a few decades. We can continue to complete the great achievements he did not accomplish!
The current environment is simply created for the strong. As long as we continue to strengthen ourselves, we can have unlimited possibilities.
You are still so young, and you have a better chance than me to go one step further. By then, it is possible to become the unprecedented and unparalleled emperor in human history!
Just think about it, as long as you stamp your feet, the whole world will tremble for you! What you want, countless people will go through fire and water to get it for you, how wonderful that feeling is!"
Under such temptation, Qi Qiuheng didn't think Lin Shi would refuse.
I knew long ago that Li No. 2 was not a member of the shelter, but a cooperative relationship with the shelter.
I don't think Lin Shi can refuse the conditions he offered.
Qi Qiuheng's voice seemed to carry the power of bewitching, and the Qi family members behind him had already heard it with fanaticism.
They became more and more envious and jealous of Lin Shi.
In their opinion, it was a great gift from heaven that an outsider could make Qi Qiuheng ask him to be on equal footing with him.
The people on Lin Tianrui's side were shocked.
When he learned that the Qi family wanted to capture the shelter, Lin Tianrui knew that the Qi family had great ambitions.
But they didn't expect that they still underestimated these hidden families.
Qi Qiuheng's ambition was so great that he wanted to become the emperor? !
If Lin Shi agreed to Qi Qiuheng's conditions, then their trip today would be like rushing to die, and there would be no chance at all.
Lin Tianrui hurriedly raised his voice and shouted at Lin Shi's back:
"Brother Lin Shi! Don't be fooled! The hidden family never allows outsiders to join. This is just a conspiracy of the Qi family to let you relax your vigilance!"
Lin Shi lowered his eyes as if thinking. After a moment, he suddenly said to Qi Qiuheng:
"If you can answer a question for me, it's not impossible for me to join you."
Lin Shi's words were like thunder from the blue sky, and the people on Lin Tianrui's side felt dizzy.
Thinking that Lin Shi was moved by Qi Qiuheng, he looked at Lin Shi in disbelief.
"Brother Lin Shi?!"
"Li Yingxiong! Don't be confused!"
If Lin Shi joined the Qi family, the current situation would be reversed.
Lin Tianrui and others could almost wash their necks and wait for death!
It is not terrible to fight the enemy to death and sacrifice, but it is terrible to face betrayal and invincible enemies and die in vain!
An atmosphere of panic and uneasiness appeared on the faces of most soldiers present.
When Qi Jia heard the name Lin Shi again and looked at Lin Shi's face, the familiar feeling was even more.
He seemed to have heard this name somewhere.
Qi Jia fell into deep thought.
Hearing this, Qi Qiuheng laughed, thinking that Lin Shi had indirectly agreed, and his face was full of pride.
"So your real name is Lin Shi? You said, as long as I know it, I will definitely answer."
Because he had been obsessed with the plan to kill the original head of the family and usurp the throne, Qi Qiuheng only knew that Qi Yun went to Shashi to find the orphan who might be related to the treasure.
In addition, he was not concerned about the lost heirlooms of the Qi family, so he did not pay much attention to Lin Shi's affairs.
He just asked his trusted subordinates to pay attention.
The fourth brother who was originally responsible for following up on this matter had been killed by Qi Yun. Otherwise, if the fourth brother was still alive and appeared here, he would definitely recognize Lin Shi at the first time.
Lin Shi raised his eyes and looked at Qi Qiuheng, and said calmly:
"I actually asked this question for Qi Yun. He said that the Qi family had an aunt named Qi Yuan whom he had never met before."
Lin Shi paused so that Qi Qiuheng could remember this name.
Sure enough, when he heard the name Qi Yuan, Qi Qiuheng's face trembled, his smile faded, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.
Lin Shi did not miss the change in Qi Qiuheng's expression and continued:
"I heard that his aunt had eloped with an outsider, and you went to kill these two people at that time.
What I want to ask is, when you led people to kill Qi Yuan, did you kill her?"
Lin Shi did not say that he was Qi Yuan's child.
He only said that he had heard this story from Qi Yun.
But who is Qi Qiuheng? He has been scheming against the previous head of the Qi family for so many years. It is no exaggeration to say that he is shrewd and calculating.
He immediately heard something unusual in Lin Shi's question.
"Why do you care about this?" Qi Qiuheng did not answer directly, but asked back.
"Just curious. I want to know how your Qi family treats a member who eloped with an outsider.
I hope the head of the Qi family can tell the truth.
You should know that when we reach this level, we can see a lot of subtle things.
If you lie, it means that you have no sincerity to cooperate with me, and I will directly let my source beasts tear you apart!"
Lin Shi's words explained why he asked such a question. It was nothing more than not trusting Qi Qiuheng and fearing that he would be attacked as an outsider.
At the same time, in order to prevent Qi Qiuheng from lying to him, he even used threats.
Qi Qiuheng fell into thought, as if considering whether to tell the truth of the year.
When the other Qi family members heard this, they felt angry and ashamed.
When have they ever been threatened in person like this?
But no one thought much about it, thinking that Lin Shi didn't trust them.
Only Qi Jia felt that he seemed to think of something in his mind, but it was just a little bit short.
He looked at Lin Shi, and the more he looked, the clearer something in his mind became.
At this time, Qi Yi suddenly patted Qi Jia from the side.
"What are you thinking about?"
Qi Yi gave Qi Jia a look. The two had worked together for decades and had a tacit understanding with each other.
Qi Yi's look was dissatisfaction with Qi Qiuheng's winning over Lin Shi and giving him such a high position, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.
Qi Jia gave him a bitter smile.
They didn't have the right to choose.
To put it nicely, they were his trusted confidants. To put it bluntly, they were trained as servants since childhood and were just tools to assist Qi Qiuheng.
Qi Jia's original train of thought was interrupted by Qi Yi.
But when he looked at Lin Shi again, that familiar feeling came back.
