Chapter 935 The Qin n''s Sudden Visit (Part One)


    The reason why Francis told Harper what happened to Felton was because he wanted to see how she


    was going to react to it. Back then, she had made a move without any hesitation because of what he


    himself had done. What would she do if it were someone from the Qin n? To be more specific, when


    it came to this case, he was curious about whether or not Harper would be as cold and ruthless as she


    was before.


    After Francis left, Harper didn''t make any moves or take any immediate action. She and Matthew just


    kept living their normal lives, eating, sleeping and being happy all around, as if the dealings concerning


    the Qin n had nothing to do with her.


    The next day, Darren came to visit Harper. After exchanging formalities, he went straight to the point


    and handed Harper a pile of documents. "Here you go; it''s all you asked for."


    "Thank you, Darren."


    "We are friends. There is no need for those polite words," Darren said.


    Harper only smiled as she took the documents and leafed through them one by one. During this


    process, Darren noticed that a man was standing by the window—Matthew. He started to study him. It


    had been rumored that he was a merciless and bloodthirsty man, but from what he was sensing, the


    man was abnormally calm and peaceful.


    "I''ve heard that Your Highness is a bloodsucking monster. Now that I''ve met you in person, I don''t think


    that''s true," Darren suddenly admitted. "Well, at least, I don''t feel any murderous intent from you right


    now," he added.


    "I''m not a lunatic that would kill without reasons," returned Matthew, his facial expression unchanging.


    Darren choked, but not because he felt embarrassed. Actually, he immediately turned to Harper and


    said, "Well, His Highness is really so straightforward."


    Still going through the files in her hand, Harper said without even looking at Darren, "He''s been like that


    as far as I remember. Just don''t pay too much attention to it, and you will get used to it in no time."


    ying with the tea cup in his hand with an unreadable smile, Darren did not continue to make jokes


    about Matthew. But his opinion about Matthew did change. He had heard many rumors about him, but


    now that he had seen him in person, he realized that this man was not as terrifying as people had said


    he was.


    "The whole Qin n are actually hiding themselves from the rest of the world. As for why they have


    done it, I have no clue just yet. Do you want me to dig into it?" Darren asked, changing the topic. His


    voice was so pleasing to the ear and somehow incredibly rxing. It was just like the wind blowing in


    one''s face on a hot day.


    Harper shook her head and said, "Since they chose to hide away, it meant that they don''t want to get in


    touch with people. Since they don''t want to have anything to do with people not in their n, I will


    respect that and won''t bother them. After all, they have already been living a rtively quiet life for 20


    years. Disturbing them is the least of my desires."


    "A clear, rational head you have," said Darren.


    "I''ve always been like this, Darren," Harper replied, emphasizing each word. She then threw the


    documents into the copper pot to burn. As they turned into ashes, she looked away and said, "Well, I


    had no chance to chat with you thest time I was here. Now that we''re together, I''m thinking you might


    be able to help me with some questions that bother me."


    "What questions?" Darren asked, a puzzled look on his face. "It''s so... out of the ordinary that you will


    ask me for my help."This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    "A powerful outsider can hardly afford to neglect local bullies. What''s more, I''m very weak now and no


    match for you at all. It will be too difficult to investigate the matter by myself. It''s more convenient to ask


    for your help directly, don''t you think?" With that, Harper donned a huge smile and continued, "Do you


    know of any secrets the Phoenix City holds?"


    Upon hearing these words, Darren smiled. His expression, however, was incredibly difficult to decipher.


    "You know, Harper, every ce has its secrets—by which I mean the dark secrets, those ones that are


    kept from most people."


    Harper nodded, "I''m just asking. Because Rndo once told me that the key to solving the mysteries


    surrounding the Qin n is hidden within the Phoenix City. I''m basically just trying my luck here," she


    exined.


    Her words surprised Darren. "The key to solving the mysteries surrounding the Qin n is hidden


    within the Phoenix City?" he repeated with genuine bewilderment.


    Truth be told, Darren really didn''t know anything about this. The only thing he knew was that the Qin


    n was hiding in the Phoenix City. After all, except for this ce, no ce in its right mind would


    ept a n that was being hunted down by the four kingdoms. However, it never urred to him that


    there might be another reason why the Qin n chose to stay in the Phoenix City.


    "So basically what you''re telling me is that the Qin n suddenly hid themselves again this time


    around because of some things that are concerning this city?" asked Darren inplete confusion.


    Harper shook her head again. "Darren, to be honest with you, I have no idea. But you see, after the


    Great Jade Kingdom was conquered, Rndo escaped. Soon after Felton disappeared. I once


    suspected that it was Rndo who took him away, but someone told me that Felton was back in the


    Phoenix City. He was not forced to return, as far as I know."


    Darren was also a smart person, like Matthew. When he heard what Harper said, he came up with the


    same exnation Matthew had. "Is it possible that the Qin n asked him to go back?"


    "Judging from the evidence we have now, that is the most likely scenario."


    "But that doesn''t make sense! I mean what the Qin n has done," Darren pointed out as he frowned.


    "The Qin n has always taken the initiative to contact you. Now, as soon as the Great Jade Kingdom


    has fallen, they suddenly refused to keep in touch. Unless the Qin n feels that they are safe forever


    and don''t need any of your help, or they are threatened by something or someone and have no choice


    but to cut off all ties."


    Harper fell into silence. Francis once reminded her that there was something wrong with the Qin n,


    and that all the evidences were pointing back to the Qin n themselves. But she didn''t want to go


    deep into it. After all, the Heavenly Book was in Rndo''s hands now, so was the other half of the


    Sacred Seal. This meant that she couldn''t help the Qin n anymore, even herself.


    "How about this? I''ll search for more information about the Qin n for you. When things be


    clearer, you can decide whether to meet them or not." Seeing that Harper had no idea what to make of


    the situation, Darren took the initiative to assist her further.


    "Okay. I think that''s the best we can do for now. Thank you very much, Darren."
