“Leng Qianqiu… 23 years old, Elite-level Trainer, the young master of the Leng family from the Eighteen Attributes Gym, and the heir to the Ice-type Gym.”
Yekaterina crossed her legs, looking at the information in her hand with great interest.
Yekaterina asked playfully, “Jynx, do you think the Leng family knows something too?”
“Mi~”
Jynx indicated that she didn't understand human conspiracies, so she refused to answer.
“Ma Lingyun, what do you think?” Yekaterina asked again, putting away the information.
Ma Lingyun asked cautiously, “As far as I know, the Leng family doesn't have any powerful Psychic-type Pokémon. Are you saying that someone from the family…”
Hearing this, the name of a person suddenly surfaced in Yekaterina's mind.
However, Yekaterina quickly dismissed the suspicion of Lu Li.
Lu Li had nothing to do with the Leng family, so it couldn't have been Lu Li.
“It seems I have to hurry, after all, there are already competitors,” Yekaterina muttered to herself.
…………
After Leng Qianqiu arrived in Qingyun City, the first people he visited were naturally the local powerhouses, the Jin family and the Yu family.
Upon receiving the news, Yu Zhonggang rushed to the Jin family as soon as possible.
In the Jin family's living room, Leng Qianqiu was lying lazily on the sofa, as if waiting for someone.
After Yu Zhonggang and the Jin family head entered, Leng Qianqiu quickly stood up from the sofa.
Leng Qianqiu hurriedly greeted them, “Greetings, Gym Leader Yu, greetings, Head of the Jin family.”
There was no smile on Leng Qianqiu's face. Yu Zhonggang and the Jin family head, knowing the Leng family's reputation, didn't say much.
After chatting casually for a moment, they got straight to the point.
Leng Qianqiu took out a photo from his pocket.
“As far as I know, there are only two secret realms near Qingyun City. One is in Qingyun City, and the other is in the depths of the Qingyun Mountains. I hope you two can use your connections to help me find something.”
After Leng Qianqiu finished speaking, he pushed the photo in front of them.
The photo showed a picture of a Pokémon egg.
“I hope you two can help me find this egg. As a reward, you can ask for anything,” Leng Qianqiu said directly.
Trainers are different from businessmen. When talking about things, they usually go straight to the point. Moreover, Leng Qianqiu wasn't the kind of person who liked to beat around the bush.
Yu Zhonggang and the Jin family head exchanged a glance, both seeing a look of inquiry in each other's eyes.
Leng Qianqiu explained, “This is a Frigibax Pokémon egg.”
The Jin family and Yu Zhonggang both followed the Steel-type path, so Leng Qianqiu wasn't worried that they would steal the Frigibax Pokémon egg.
Yu Zhonggang spoke first, “I want a Kingdra Pokémon egg of the Elite Four level, and a Pokémon treasure, preferably Water-type or Steel-type.”
Leng Qianqiu nodded.
“As long as you can help me find that egg, I can agree to your request.”
“Then our Jin family wants a Metagross Pokémon egg,” the Jin family head said immediately.
Hearing this, Leng Qianqiu took a deep look at the Jin family head, then nodded, “No problem. Same as before, as long as you can help me find that egg.”
Although Metagross was a pseudo-legendary, the Jin family head didn't specify what kind of aptitude it should have. With the Leng family's strength, pseudo-legendaries weren't easy to obtain, but they weren't impossible to get.
As long as they could get that Frigibax Pokémon egg, this bit of investment was completely worth it.
“I will mobilize all our connections to find that egg. As long as the egg you mentioned is within the sphere of influence of Qingyun City, then we will definitely be able to find it,” the Jin family head guaranteed.
Yu Zhonggang next to him also nodded.
At this moment, Yu Zhonggang finally knew why Yekaterina had come to Qingyun City.
At least a Champion-level Frigibax Pokémon egg.
Thinking of this, Yu Zhonggang's heart was filled with excitement.
Pseudo-legendary + Champion-level aptitude, what a niche combination of words.
Leng Qianqiu added, “I don't want this matter to be known to the world.”
Yu Zhonggang reminded, “Young Master Leng, there's something I need to tell you. Princess Yekaterina seems to be in our Qingyun City as well.”
“I know about this, but the Kyushu region is our territory after all,” Leng Qianqiu didn't see Yekaterina as a threat.
The other party's family power was indeed strong, at least stronger than their Leng family, but their Leng family was the local tyrant in the Kyushu region.
Leng Qianqiu was really not afraid that Yekaterina would get there first.
After finishing the business, Leng Qianqiu thanked them again, “I'll be disturbing you here for the next few days.”
“No disturbance, no disturbance.”
The Jin family head hurriedly shook his head politely.
The Jin family was overjoyed to have met the Leng family, so how could he find it troublesome.
Yu Zhonggang thought the same way.
“I'll have someone arrange a room for you right away,” the Jin family head said quickly.
Leng Qianqiu nodded.
After being led to a small courtyard by a maid, Leng Qianqiu closed the door of the small courtyard expressionlessly, then took out his phone and made a call.
“Raine, I've arrived in Qingyun City. If I really get that egg, then I will represent the Leng family in supporting you,” Leng Qianqiu said excitedly.
“Don't worry, in the future I saw, that Frigibax's Pokémon egg is definitely in Qingyun City, although I don't know how that commoner got that egg.”
Raine on the phone guaranteed.
Leng Qianqiu asked suspiciously, “Are you sure that in the future you saw, the Frigibax's Trainer is really just a commoner?”
“Of course! But I didn't see the other person's face. That person has a special ability that shields his information. I can only learn about that person's identity from other people's future, but that's the limit,” Raine said helplessly.
“Haha… that's enough. I sincerely hope that you can gain the approval of the Ideal Dragon, my future lord,” Leng Qianqiu said before hanging up the phone.
Leng Qianqiu's seemingly forced smile quickly cooled down, and then he whispered, “If you don't get the approval of the Ideal Dragon, then don't blame me for going back on my word.”
…………
The surging undercurrents didn't bring any changes to Lu Li's life.
At least for now, that's how it was.
The next morning, Lu Li still arrived at Jinling Center early.
Today was the day for the competition and the award ceremony.
Lu Li wasn't looking forward to the competition. What he was really looking forward to was the opportunity to enter the Alliance Treasure Vault.
Lu Li was determined to get the Flying-type Elite Four Ling Kong's cultivation notes.
“Next is the final match of the Qingyun City College Entrance Examination Competition.”
“Let us welcome the future champion and runner-up with warm applause.”
With the host's loud announcement, Lu Li walked out of the tunnel.
Jin Guilin on the opposite side sincerely apologized, “I'm sorry about my mother's matter. I hope she didn't bring any trouble to your life.”
“It's okay, this matter is already over,” Lu Li said with a smile.
For now, Lu Li had a good impression of Jin Guilin.
At least Jin Guilin's personality was okay, he wasn't the type of playboy.
