Chapter 4683: 5.0435 Alliance

Long Qian smiled slightly and nodded. "I understand."

Fan Meng, standing behind Gong Songfeng, couldn't help but look up and carefully observe the old patriarch. Did she know what kind of "grand gift" she had just accepted?

Fan Meng lowered her gaze, a mocking, cold smile playing on her lips.

"Patriarch," at this moment, another clan member came to report, "Patriarch Duo requests an audience."

Long Qian nodded apologetically to Gong Songfeng. "My apologies, I will go see a guest first."

"Please do," Hall Master Gong waved his hand casually, watching Long Qian leave with his people.

His fingers rubbed his chin as he stared at Long Qian's retreating back with a distant gaze. This world truly had no shortage of naive fools.

"You all stay here and keep a close eye on these test subjects," Gong Songfeng said indifferently.

"Mhm, mhm," Hongyi nodded repeatedly, laughing. "I wonder how effective this batch of improved medicinal liquid is? The cost of the herbs for this liquid is much lower than for mutant pills."

"If it can be proven that the effects are similar, then perhaps it truly has the potential to change the world in the future."

Lvyi couldn't help but chuckle mockingly from the side. "Change the world? How?"

"Alright, stop talking nonsense," Gong Songfeng vigilantly glanced around. Although his divine sense didn't detect anyone approaching, this was still the territory of the Forgetfulness River Long Clan after all, so they couldn't be too reckless in their words and actions.

"Should we... investigate what the Long clan's old patriarch and that Patriarch Duo are secretly planning?" Fan Meng asked softly, her eyes lowered.

"It's probably nothing major. Let those two old fellows fuss. Let's go." Hongyi scoffed, not putting the Forgetfulness River Long Clan or the Duo Clan in his eyes at all.

Meanwhile, Long Qian specifically found a secluded small flower hall to receive the patriarch of the Forgetfulness River Duo Clan. Before that, she even used her divine sense to create a defensive barrier around them, to prevent those young people from Tianyun from eavesdropping.

However, it was clear that the other party didn't care at all what she was secretly plotting with anyone.

"Patriarch Duo," Long Qian looked at the somber-faced man with some surprise.

This man had a square face, a broad nose, and an imposing national character face. Dressed in a long green robe, his sword-like eyebrows were fierce and awe-inspiring.

It was none other than Duo Qiang, the current head of the Forgetfulness River Duo Clan.

"Patriarch Long, I won't waste your time. Let's get straight to the point," Duo Qiang said with a heavy heart. "On that desolate island near Snow Ridge, it's said that there are 33,000 elite soldiers from the Three Continents, including some sent by your Forgetfulness River Long Clan. Is that true?"

Upon hearing this, Long Qian's face immediately darkened. She said coldly, "Are you here to demand an explanation?"

"No," Duo Qiang shook his head. "I want to save my son. My son, Duo Shanming, is being held captive on that desolate island."

"It's rumored that the one who now rules the island is your granddaughter, Patriarch Long?"

"You two have quite a connection. Could I ask you to intercede and ask her to release my son? I am willing to apologize for what happened before; I only ask her to release my son."

Long Qian's expression instantly turned even worse. The relationship between her and the one who ruled the island had already reached its end.

"I apologize, Patriarch Duo, I can't help you," Long Qian said coldly.

Her relationship with that person was truly not good.

She paused, then suddenly said, "If Patriarch Duo wishes to rescue someone, you could join us."
