Chapter 1005 Situation Of The Qilin And Phoenix Races
Chapter 1005 Situation Of The Qilin And Phoenix Races
?
After the meeting with the Phoenix Race, Lin Fan also met with the Qilin Race.
The representative of that group was a young man called Lei Feng.
The strange thing was that…this person looked very similar to Lei Ting.
The request that they had for him was very similar to the one that the Phoenix Race made.
They took out the same picture of Qing Ao that the Phoenix Race had done, as well as the two pictures of Feng Ling and Lei Ting, but the difference was that they cared more about Lei Ting.
When it was over, Lei Feng had asked the same thing as Feng Yue, but of course it was about Lei Ting.
He asked Lin Fan to give him any information that he had on his big sister, Lei Ting.
After meeting with these two groups, Lin Fan couldn't help feeling more and more confused.
It was clear that there was a backstory here that he didn't know.
eaglesnov?1,?o? So without hesitation, Lin Fan went to find the three who had caused all of this.
When Qing Ao, Feng Ling, and Lei Ting heard about all of this, they couldn't help revealing awkward looks. They just sat there looking down, as if they were afraid to speak.
But Lin Fan wouldn't allow them to get away with this.
So he said in a clear and frank voice, "Explain."
Qing Ao looked up first as he gave a cough and then said with a sigh, "It's a long story…"
Lin Fan just looked at him with a calm look and said, "We have time."
Qing Ao revealed a bitter smile when he heard this, but he had no choice but to explain.
The matter with the Dragon Race was clear since he had already explained it to Lin Fan.
It was a matter of succession where Qing Ao's father didn't want his elder son to succeed the Azure Dragon Tribe since his elder son was in the pro war faction, while he was in the against war faction.
But the elder son didn't remain idle and was making moves to take over the tribe, even with his father working against him.
Which was why he had sent these envoys to find Qing Ao since he knew that Qing Ao was working on something secret for their father.
As for the Phoenix Race and the Qilin Race…
After thinking about it, the only explanation that they had was that they were here for Feng Ling and Lei Ting.
Lin Fan was confused when he heard this.
He asked, "Didn't they follow you on their own free will? Why would their clans care about them being out on their own and want to find them?"
Qing Ao said with an awkward smile, "It's more complicated than that."
Lin Fan just waited for him to explain.
The story was…
Qing Ao, Feng Ling, and Lei Ting were three talented youngsters of their respective clans a long time ago. Because of the relationships between their races, they were introduced to each other and became friends.
Or rather, Feng Ling and Lei Ting both fell in love with Qing Ao and wouldn't leave him no matter what anyone said.
But that wasn't in the best interest of the Phoenix Race and the Qilin Race.
So they had been separated in the end by their parents and they were locked up in their tribes.
But later, Qing Ao had been sent out because of his big brother's ambitions of taking over the tribe, so he was allowed to go free.
To follow him, Feng Ling and Lei Ting both made deals with their tribes so that they would be allowed to go free as well. They had mated with mates chosen by the tribe and had provided heirs to take their position before being allowed to go free.
They both had two children and their elder sons had remained in the tribe, being looked after by the elders of the tribe and raised to become the future heirs.
Lin Fan couldn't help looking at Qing Ao when he heard this.
Qing Ao nodded and said with a bitter smile, "It was the same for me, Bao Lan is my younger child and my eldest son is still under the care of my father."
Lin Fan couldn't help shaking his head when he heard this.
He really didn't understand what the elders of these tribes were thinking, but there was nothing that he could do to change their minds in the first place, so he just threw those thoughts out.
Lin Fan then asked, "Since you've already made a deal with your tribes, why are they looking for you now?"
Both Feng Ling and Lei Ting knitted their brows when they heard this and after thinking for a bit, they both shook their heads.
This was also the thing that confused them.
By all right, their races shouldn't be looking for them since they already had someone to take their place. So why did they send these envoys after them for just a small trail that almost had no hopes of finding them?
It was almost as if they were desperate to find them.
After thinking for a while longer, they finally came to the conclusion, "Something must have happened with the Phoenix and Qilin Races."
But the problem was that they had no way of finding out what it was.
They had already left their tribes, so they no longer had access to the resources that they once had. They couldn't use the intelligence networks of the Phoenix or Qilin Races.
However, they had forgotten one thing.
Lin Fan was the heir of the Lin Astral Family and he was able to use the resources of the Lin Astral Family.
The Lin Astral Empire was a power that even the Phoenix and Qilin Races were cautious of, so of course their intelligence networks wouldn't be weak.
Lin Fan just had to make a simple request to the intelligence agency to get the information that he wanted. There was no delay at all since everyone already knew his power in the Lin Astral Empire.
But there wasn't as much information as he had hoped.
Still, that wasn't strange since this was information about the secrets of the Phoenix and Qilin Races, it wasn't something that was that easy to get. All that was included in the report was superficial information about the Phoenix and Qilin Races.
Just with this though, Feng Ling and Lei Ting were able to pick up some clues that helped them figure out the situation.
Both the Red Phoenix Tribe and the Purple Thunder Qilin Tribe had their leaders replaced some time ago.
The leaders of those two tribes had been Feng Ling and Lei Ting's mothers. So the ones that replaced them were most likely the children that they had left behind, both of their elder sons.
Now that these two tribes were looking for the two of them, it was clear that it had something to do with this.
As for what their sons were planning, that was something that they couldn't tell.
Even though they had given birth to these two, they didn't have any interaction with these two children. They had left them to be raised by the elders of the tribe, so they didn't know what kind of personalities they had.
These two could be looking for them for revenge or they could be looking for them because they wanted to be a family again. They just couldn't tell unless they knew more information.
But if they had to guess what it was, it was most likely for revenge.
After all, these two had been used by Feng Ling and Lei Ting as a tool for them to escape their clans to follow Qing Ao.
So they should be filled with hatred towards Feng Ling and Lei Ting.
That should also be why they were chasing after Qing Ao, since he was the root cause of all of this. If they hadn't met Qing Ao, perhaps they would have happily followed the plans of their tribes and lived happy lives with their children back in the clan.
Perhaps they would have become the leaders of these two tribes since they were the most talented youths in their generation.
However, they abandoned their child and their tribe to chase after Qing Ao…
After Qing Ao learned this, he couldn't help feeling guilty.
It wasn't as if he didn't feel anything towards the two, but…the circumstances had made it hard for him to accept them. Not to mention that he had also gotten another wife and had children with her.
So when he learned of all the trouble that he had caused, he couldn't help feeling guilty.
He wanted to say something, but the two of them immediately made him shut his mouth by telling him that it was their choice.
Still, Qing Ao had a guilty look for the rest of the time.
After learning all of this, Lin Fan decided to have the Lin Astral Empire's intelligence network look deeper into this situation. They needed more information about these two tribes before they could make a move.
He just hoped that it was the latter rather than the former since he didn't want to have to deal with the Phoenix Race and the Qilin Race while dealing with the Dragon Race.
Each one of these races could put pressure on the Lin Astral Empire alone, so all three of them coming at once would be considered a disaster.
