In the café near the Changsheng Building, Qin Yan and Situ Zhaoran sat opposite each other.

After experiencing Ling Yunxiao's incident, Situ Zhaoran also had a trace of fear in his heart for this new door master. After so many years in Tianmen, Situ Zhaoran knows many things about Tianmen well. And he didn't know much about the new master. But now, in the face of this young man, Situ Zhaoran also has to be cautious, and he is no longer as contemptuous as before.

"Is there anything the door master is in a hurry to summon me?" asked Situ Zhaoran.

"Ling Yunxiao's matter has been settled, I want to ask, what are your plans next?" Qin Yan asked.

Situ Zhaoran was stunned and said, "Plans? It's been a few days since I've been in Shengjing, and there must be a lot of things waiting for me to go back and deal with in Tangkou, and I'm planning to go back after saying goodbye to the master. ”

"Don't go yet, I have one more thing to trouble you. Qin Yan said.

"Whatever the master commands. Situ responded cautiously. In the face of this young sect master, he no longer dared to be careless, and he became more cautious in his speech.

"Do you know Zhou Xie?" Qin Yan asked.

"Zhou Xie?" Situ Zhaoran was stunned for a moment and said, "I've heard Ling Yunxiao mention it, but I haven't seen it." I heard Ling Yunxiao say that they were very good friends, and many of Ling Yunxiao's arms sales were smuggled into Russia through Zhou Xie's help. Why did the master of the door suddenly ask about him?"

"Ling Yunxiao is dead, I plan to expand the power of Heavenly Punishment to the northeast, and I have also ordered Ye Zhengrong to send people over. I'm wondering, you used to be very familiar with Ling Yunxiao, and you also know a lot about things in the Northeast, so let you take over the business of Heavenly Punishment here. Qin Yan said.

"Me?" Situ Zhaoran was stunned and said, "Heavenly punishment has always been the responsibility of Xuanwu, besides, Ye Zhengrong is also the master of the sect, so he should have a lot of trust in him, how could he suddenly let me take over the business of Heavenly Punishment here?"

He smiled, Qin Yan said: "I am not the kind of person who once became a son of heaven and a courtier, although Ye Zhengrong was promoted by me, but I have always respected you elders of Tianmen." You also know Ye Zhengrong's injury, it may take some time to recover, and it is impossible for me to stay in Shengjing for a long time to take care of this matter. So, I thought, you are familiar with the Northeast, and it is only fitting that you are in charge of the business of Heavenly Punishment here. ”

Situ Zhaoran's brows frowned slightly, and he fell into a deep thought. If he can control the business of Heavenly Punishment in the Northeast, there is no doubt that Situ Zhaoran's power in Tianmen will become bigger and bigger. For a long time, each department of Tianmen has its own jurisdiction, and it must not be overstepped, the purpose is to prevent one family from becoming dominant. And Qin Yan suddenly put forward such an idea, which had to make Situ Zhaoran feel that he had ulterior motives, or was he testing himself?

For the young man in front of him, Situ Zhaoran didn't dare to despise him, and he must not let Qin Yan find any excuse to deal with him because of his negligence.

After pondering for a moment, Situ said clearly: "I understand what the door master means, but this is a matter of heavenly punishment, if I intervene sideways, it will inevitably cause unnecessary misunderstandings." Moreover, the Heavenly Gate has had a clear division of labor among the various halls for thousands of years, and if I interfere with the matter of heavenly punishment, it is inevitable that I will be suspected of overstepping my bounds. Therefore, I also hope that the door master can think twice, not because I don't mean to, but because I can't do it. ”

Taking a deep breath, Qin Yan said: "Okay, I understand your thoughts, so I have to work hard for the time being, and wait for Ye Zhengrong's body to recover before making plans." ”

"Thank you for your understanding. Situ Zhaoran said, "It's just, what does this have to do with Zhou Xie's affairs?"

"I heard that Zhou Xie's border power is very strong, and now that Ling Yunxiao is dead, I was wondering if we could contact Zhou Xie and talk about cooperation. With his help, it will be very convenient for us to do a lot of business in the Northeast in the future. You know Ling Yunxiao very well, so I thought you also knew Zhou Xie, so I planned to ask you to help make peace and arrange for us to meet. Qin Yan said.

"Door Master, I advise you to give up this idea. Situ Zhaoran said.

"Why?" Qin Yan asked in surprise.

"First, Zhou Xie and Ling Yunxiao are brothers who burn yellow paper and worship the handle, you killed Ling Yunxiao, if Zhou Xie sees you, how can he give up? Second, our Tianmen has never done any illegal business, and it has nothing to do with Zhou Xie at all, so there is no need to have anything to do with him. The foundation of Tianmen for thousands of years is not easy, in case some illegal things cause a lot of trouble, resulting in dissatisfaction among the elders of the presbyterian church, the consequences must be very serious. Situ Zhaoran said.

Qin Yan glanced at him in a daze, and had some doubts in his heart, were these words Situ Zhaoran's sincere words, or did he want to capture him? According to Xingtian, it was Situ Zhaoran who wore the mask of the Ghost King that day, and it was obvious that he wanted to put himself to death. If Zhou Xie really had such a close relationship with Ling Yunxiao, he should really want to see Zhou Xie so that he could take the opportunity to kill him.

For a while, Qin Yan was also a little confused. This kind of life of intrigue and deceit made him feel very tired, but no matter what, this was what Qin Yan promised the Dragon King, and it was not good to leave it like this.

After a pause, Qin Yan said: "I think, Zhou Xie is also a person on the road, the purpose is nothing more than to make money, Ling Yunxiao is dead, there is no need for him to avenge him, as long as we offer generous conditions, I don't think there is any need for him to refuse." As for what you said about violating laws and disciplines, as long as we are not in China, and we are not sorry for the country and the nation, I believe there will be no trouble. You still have to think of a way to see if you can contact Zhou Xie, if he doesn't feel at ease to come to Huaxia, I can go to his place and talk to him. ”

"The door master insists on doing this?" asked Situ Zhaoran.

"Hmm!" Qin Yan nodded emphatically.

Sighing helplessly, Situ Zhaoran said, "Since the door master insists, then I want to find a way." Because of Zhou Xie's special identity, he rarely entered the country under normal circumstances, and his business with Ling Yunxiao in the past was also through satellite phones or intermediaries. As far as I know, the middleman also arrived in Shengjing two days ago, and I don't know if he left. If the owner insists on doing this, I'll find a way to find him and see if there's a way. ”

"Okay, then you quickly contact him and arrange it as soon as possible. Qin Yan said.
