Chapter 1003 Dragon Race’s Request (3)

?

Qing Lan was starting to sweat from the pressure that Lin Fan put on him.

He just sat there with his mouth wide open, not knowing what to say.

Seeing this, Lin Fan decided to put more pressure on him and stood up as he said, "I think we're done here."

When the Dragon Race envoys saw him standing up, they immediately came forward to stop him, but Qing Lan raised his hands to stop them. Instead, he said in a calm voice, "What do you want?"

Lin Fan stopped moving when he heard this and he couldn't help feeling a bit surprised.

He had thought that there wouldn't be any deep thoughts from these Dragon Race envoys, but it seemed like he had been wrong.

It seemed that at the very least, Qing Lan was capable of some form of thought.

Lin Fan turned around to look at Qing Lan with narrowed eyes after hearing this and Qing Lan couldn't help feeling a chill run down his spine. It was almost as if he was prey that was being scoped out by a predator.

He almost felt the urge to run, but he held that back and just sat there looking right back into Lin Fan's eyes.

Lin Fan gave a satisfied nod before saying, "I don't know anything about a traitor, but why do you think that we have this "traitor" of yours here?"

Hearing the slightly more gentle tone that seemed like he was more willing to cooperate. Qing Lan felt a bit of hope. So Qing Lan said, "Your highness, my tone was a bit too harsh earlier. I was just too agitated because of the pressure that my superiors have placed on me. I hope that you will forgive me."

Then with a hesitant and cautious look, he continued, "Your highness, before I answer that question, can you please promise me one thing?"

Lin Fan calmly looked at him without giving a response, but this was more than enough for Qing Lan.

Qing Lan asked, "Can we ensure that the contents of this meeting will never be spread? This is a matter of utmost importance for our Dragon Race, so I hope that you will understand that."

Lin Fan didn't show any expressions, but he gave a cold laugh deep down.

This brat, he was trying to cover up for his mistakes from earlier.

After all, even if he didn't say that he could represent the entire Dragon Race, the things that he said already was more than enough for him to be executed several times over. So he wanted to make sure that no one would ever know about this, so he could wipe his own butt.

But of course, Lin Fan had no reason to oblige to this…

Qing Lan also knew this, so while he asked this question, he smoothly took out a crystal that he placed on the table.

This was a dragon vein crystal.

When Lin Fan saw this, he was surprised that this Qing Lan would be this generous.

e?glesn??el After all, dragons were well known for their love of treasures and their natural tendency to hoard things. It was said that dragons were willing to go all out instead of paying with treasures.

So anything that could get a dragon to give up part of their treasure was considered very valuable.

And of course, there was nothing more valuable than one's life.

But Lin Fan didn't react again.

When Qing Lan saw this, he couldn't help revealing an ugly look, but he also knew what Lin Fan was implying.

So with a pained look on his face, his hand moved across the table and soon there was another crystal just like the one from before beside the one already on the table.

Lin Fan once again didn't react at all when he saw this.

Qing Lan's expression turned even more ugly after seeing this, but this time…he went all out and brought three more crystals out.

Lin Fan finally reacted after seeing this.

He could tell that based on the look on Qing Lan's face, this was his bottom line. Even if he pushed him any further, he wouldn't have anything else to take out.

So Lin Fan came back and sat down with a smile on his face as he said, "Of course, this is an important matter to the Dragon Race. We can't just let anyone know about this."

As he said this, he waved his hand to the attendant beside him and the attendant quickly erased the footage of everything recorded in this room in front of them.

While this happened, he waved his hand across the table and the five crystals lying there disappeared.

With how smoothly they disappeared, it was as if they had never been there in the first place.

Seeing this, Qing Lan couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief.

Now that his ass had been covered, it was time for him to finish what he started.

Qing Lan turned back to Lin Fan with a serious look and said, "Your highness, we have suspicions that the traitor is here because of what happened on the Galactic Humanity Alliance."

Lin Fan couldn't help giving a sigh deep down when he heard this.

As he had expected, it really was because of what happened there.

That was the only time that Qing Ao had made a public appearance and he had thought that it would be fine since it was just a lower realm, but it seemed like Qing Ao's brother really didn't hold back.

Even a small rumour on a minor realm was something that he would follow up on like this.

Lin Fan then said, "And what about this Galactic Humanity Alliance?"

Qing Lan was once again taken aback when he heard this.

He thought that by revealing this trump card of his, he would be able to evoke some kind of reaction from Lin Fan. He never thought that Lin Fan would ask him this question with such a deadpan expression.

Still, he didn't hold back as he said, "Your highness, Qing Ao's appearance on the Galactic Humanity Alliance was as your…"

He didn't finish his sentence, but it was clear what he was saying.

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look at Qing Lan which caused a chill to run down the spines of the Dragon Race envoys again. Then he said in a clearly impatient voice, "That was a temporary contract created with a dragon that I found in the wild. I have no idea where that dragon went after that."

Qing Lan and the other envoys all knitted their brows when they heard this.

With the way that Lin Fan said this, it seemed very likely that it was the truth.

But their job was to find where Qing Ao was and this was the only lead that they had right now. They couldn't just give up this lead that easily, even if the other side was the heir of the Lin Astral Family.

Qing Lan softened his voice and asked in a voice filled with entreaty, "Your highness, do you know where you left that dragon? Any clues that you have will be helpful."

Lin Fan gave a shrug that made it seem like he really didn't care about this as he said, "I said before that it was just a temporary contract. You should know that I was sent away to an unknown place after that incident. When I was in the middle of nowhere, the temporary contracts were released and they wandered off on their own."

Qing Lan and the envoys knitted their brows even more when they heard this.

Qing Lan wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say in response to this.

Finally he said, "Can you at least tell us around which area you landed so we can search the area for traces of the traitor?" Then in a serious voice, he said, "This will be something that will be remembered forever by the Azure Dragon Tribe."

Once again, Lin Fan was surprised by these words.

"Azure Dragon Tribe", that was the tribe that Qing Ao was from.

Instead of saying that this will be a favour to the Dragon Race, this Qing Lan was saying that it was a favour to the Azure Dragon Tribe. It seemed like he completely threw aside the idea of hiding it from Lin Fan and was putting all his cards down on the table.

He knew that it was impossible for him to outsmart Lin Fan, so there was no need for him to try.

He was going to use pure honesty to move Lin Fan.

It was just too bad that Lin Fan wasn't moved at all by this.

Lin Fan couldn't help looking at Qing Lan with narrowed eyes as his brain kept thinking about all the possibilities.

In the end, he narrowed it down to two…this Qing Lan was either a schemer or an idiot.

No, he was an idiot.

That was what he had established before and he didn't change his mind on this now.

Since he was an idiot, then Lin Fan would treat him like an idiot.

Lin Fan randomly picked out a place that was far away from the Lin Astral Empire and gave it to Qing Lan.

When Qing Lan received this, he was surprised that Lin Fan would actually give him this information without making a demand first.

Lin Fan just said with a smile, "I'm looking forward to what you will repay me with."

Qing Lan gave a strong nod before saying, "Your highness, we will not disappoint."
