Chapter 191: Inspector Lu, Do You Believe in Immortal Cultivation?

The guest lounge was extremely lively.

More than ten Patriarchs stood respectfully at the side as if they were small fries.

The purpose of their visit was very simple. Besides paying a visit to Qin Chuan, their ultimate objective was to invite him to their residence.

Li Jingchen was the most unhappy one to hear such requests.

He knew the thoughts of these Patriarchs. They were here to poach Qin Chuan.

Great Master Qin was a Land Immortal and a guest of our clan. Therefore, we must not let them succeed.

While he was deep in thought, Lu Dewei arrived.

He was slightly surprised to see so many Patriarchs, but he quickly figured out the reason.

They were probably all here for Qin Chuan.

Right then, those Patriarchs had noticed Lu Dewei and couldn’t help but look at him with hostility.

“Inspector Lu, what are you doing here?” A Patriarch questioned without holding back.

Lu Dewei said directly, “I’m here to invite Guest Elder Qin.”

Upon hearing this, the Patriarchs’ expressions changed.

“Inspector Lu, you have to be clear of your status. How can a Guest Elder of the Qin Clan be someone you can invite? You are not welcome here, please leave.” A Patriarch spoke coldly.

Lu Dewei, on the other hand, was very calm as he said, “Patriarch Yu, I believe that Guest Elder Qin hasn’t spoken yet! By saying this, are you thinking nothing of Guest Elder Qin?”

“You…” Patriarch Yu became even angrier.

But he really could not refute him.

“Guest Elder Qin, what do you think…” Patriarch Yu asked respectfully.

Qin Chuan replied, “Patriarch, Inspector Lu had invited me earlier, and I agreed to it.”

“I was also present, so please don’t make a mountain out of a molehill,” Li Jingchen immediately expressed his stance.

Lu Dewei’s arrival had been a great help to him. He was just worrying about dealing with these Patriarchs to stop them from poaching Qin Chuan, but now he didn’t have to think further.

When the Patriarchs heard this, although they were very unwilling, they could do nothing.

While the Patriarchs grit their teeth, Qin Chuan left with Lu Dewei.

…

In the Li residence’s guest room area.

Presently, Lu Dewei was in a good mood. He had finally invited Qin Chuan over.

If the conversation was successful and they agreed to cooperate with the government, it would be a huge help to the monster disaster coming three years later.

In the guest room.

Lu Dewei served Qin Chuan a cup of hot tea.

“Guest Elder Qin, this tea comes from a thousand-year-old ancient tea tree. Please try it.”

Qin Chuan took the teacup but didn’t drink. He placed it on the table.

“Inspector Lu, you didn’t invite me here just to drink tea, right? If there’s anything, please feel free to speak.”

Hearing that, Lu Dewei lowered his head and smiled. “Since Guest Elder Qin is so straightforward, then I’ll say it.

“Guest Elder Qin, I believe you’ve heard from Patriarch Li that we plan to establish a new department with all the martial arts families in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.”

Qin Chuan nodded his head, “What Inspector Lu wants is for me to help you persuade them.”

Lu Dewei immediately shook his head. “Guest Elder Qin, you’ve misunderstood.”

“That’s my job. I’ll take care of it myself.

“I would like to ask if you have any intention of cooperating with us.”

“Cooperate?” Qin Chuan frowned as he asked with interest, “I’ll have to trouble you to explain in detail.”

Hearing this, Lu Dewei couldn’t help but rejoice inwardly, thinking that since Qin Chuan had asked, it meant that there was a chance he would agree.

Thus, Lu Dewei said, “Guest Elder Qin, the higher-ups want you to be the State Preceptor of Xia Country.”

“State Preceptor?” Qin Chuan frowned.

Lu Dewei explained solemnly, “The State Preceptor was a very important role during the dynasty era.

“In ancient times, the State Preceptor held a high position and was the head of all officials. However, he did not need to obey anyone. Even the King could not order him around.

“As for the State Preceptor’s role, he only needs to help the dynasty resolve crises when the dynasty’s survival is at stake.”

After Qin Chuan heard this, he smiled, “Inspector Lu, I understand.

“You want me to guard the Xia Country and become the protector of the country.”

Lu Dewei nodded. “That’s right. Please consider it, Great Master Qin.”

“After becoming the State Preceptor, the officials will not restrict your freedom. You only need to act when the country is in crisis.”

Qin Chuan pondered for a moment before asking, “Does the State Preceptor have any real power?”

Lu Dewei said seriously, “Guest Elder Qin, to be honest, the State Preceptor doesn’t have any real power, but he can enjoy the special government allowance of the country.

“And if you need anything, they will be unconditionally satisfied, as long as your demands remain within the rules.”

“Alright!” Qin Chuan picked up his teacup and took a sip. “I can consider this.”

When he heard this, Lu Dewei’s eyes lit up. Although the other party had not agreed, Qin Chuan was still considering it.

“Guest Elder Qin, thank you so much.” At this moment, Lu Dewei was very agitated.

Qin Chuan said, “Inspector Lu, don’t be too agitated. To be honest, I’m not too interested in the position of State Preceptor.

“Think about it. Given my status and position, the allowance is nothing to me.

“Moreover, I could have enjoyed my life without any worries, but once I agree, I would have an additional responsibility.

“No one would be willing to do something so thankless.”

When Lu Dewei heard this, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly. His good mood instantly vanished.

Qin Chuan put down his teacup and sighed, “The world isn’t too peaceful now. Too many things have happened in recent years.

“More importantly, some hibernating creatures are showing signs of waking up.

“Isn’t that right, Inspector Lu!?”

When he heard this, Lu Dewei’s heart skipped a beat, and a cold sweat broke out on his face.

“Guest… Guest Elder Qin, what you said… Um…” Lu Dewei wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked very nervous.

He understood what Qin Chuan was talking about, but he didn’t expect Qin Chuan to know about it.

It had to be known that the monsters were discovered using advanced technology in the new era.

According to human history, there were no records of such creatures.

This meant that the monsters were like dormant volcanoes that had been asleep since ancient times.

However, in recent years, for some unknown reason, monsters would occasionally awaken and move about.

However, the issue of the monsters had been resolved at the first instance, and the public was not informed of it.

However, after thinking about it calmly, he understood that this person before him was a Land Immortal. It was not surprising for him to know that the monsters had caused such a huge commotion.

While thinking, Qin Chuan emphasized, “Inspector Lu, you’re a smart person. You know what I’m talking about. I don’t think there’s a need for me to be more direct!”

Lu Dewei nodded and composed himself.

“Guest Elder Qin, I understand what you mean. Since you’ve mentioned it, then I have nothing to hide.

“The reason why we are inviting you and the various martial arts families is to resist the awakening of deep-sea beasts, which are also monsters.

“When the monsters awaken, the world will encounter an unprecedented calamity. It could be said to be an apocalyptic calamity.

“I know that with your abilities, you will definitely be able to survive.

“However, as a member of the human race, how could we be willing to watch a monster destroy the civilization that we have painstakingly built?

“In the face of the apocalypse, we humans should unite and get through the hardship together.”

Lu Dewei’s tone was powerful and bold.

His sense of duty and responsibility to protect humanity arose spontaneously.

Qin Chuan stared at Lu Dewei. He didn’t need Lu Dewei to tell him to help save the world.

Since the government officials were willing to humble themselves to cooperate with martial arts families and wanted to recruit him, he could use this opportunity to fish some information from Lu Dewei.

Let’s see what the officials think about cultivation.

There was a moment of silence.

Qin Chuan spoke, “Inspector Lu, have you heard of cultivation?”

“Cultivation?” Lu Dewei froze. He stared at Qin Chuan, not understanding why Qin Chuan would ask such a strange question.

Of course, he knew about cultivation. There were novels, TV shows, and movies about it.

He recalled his childhood when he was naive and ignorant. He had even gone to a small shop to buy some books on cultivation. Moreover, he even practiced for a period of time according to what was written in the books. However, he didn’t manage to master anything. Instead, his ability to hold his breath improved greatly.

When he grew up, he gradually understood that there was no cultivation in this world.

However, Lu Dewei had always had a dream about cultivation.

Although it was quite naive, he hoped that there were cultivators in this world.

Now that Qin Chuan asked this question, it was truly unexpected. But thinking about the identity of the other party, there should be some other reason for his question.

“Guest Elder Qin, what do you want to say?” Lu Dewei asked softly.

Qin Chuan smiled. “What I want to say is, Inspector Lu, do you believe in immortal cultivation?”

???

Lu Dewei was stunned.
