NOVEL NEXT Chapter 240: There is No Such Thing as the Most Stingy, Only Stingier
“Oh~ Tsk~ Don’t look at me like that, when you’re in the arena, you can’t help yourself~”
After Qin Bei realized that this man was his ancestor, his tone when speaking to Qin Zhengji completely changed.
He was actually a bit embarrassed.
Qin Zhengji looked at his distant great-great-grandson.
“You just pressed down on me like that; I thought you were a very confident person. Now it seems I was overthinking it.”
Qin Zhengji shook his head as he spoke.
He understood that the reason Qin Bei hadn’t tried using his soul power must be due to some hesitation.
“Hey~ You’re mistaken! The kind of thing you’re talking about is arrogance; what I have is true confidence. Confidence is not arrogance, got it?”
Qin Bei said confidently.
“I’m confident while also being absolutely cautious. Arrogance is something that can be exploited.”
Qin Bei stood tall, puffing out his chest.
He felt that this behavior was the best.
In front of Qin Zhengji, he resembled a child seeking praise from an elder.
Qin Zhengji looked at Qin Bei and smiled.
Emperor Xia in the palace also chuckled at the sight of Qin Bei.
Qin Bei had always displayed absolute confidence, especially when he was storming through the Demon Suppression Tower.
It was simply outrageous.
At one point, Emperor Xia thought his rebellious son was just plain arrogant, rather than confident.
Now seeing this situation, he felt reassured.
Confidence is a good thing; as long as it isn’t arrogance, there’s no problem at all.
…
“So, how about I give it a shot?”
Qin Bei asked tentatively.
“Then go ahead and try, but don’t force it. This is not something that can be forced.”
Qin Zhengji nodded gently.
Although he knew Qin Bei had pulled a bit of cleverness earlier.
He still held a skeptical attitude about Qin Bei’s ability to help him.
After all these years, he could barely hold on and hadn’t encountered anyone who could assist him.
At a moment when he was about to completely fade away, if someone truly capable of helping emerged…
Qin Zhengji would start to suspect that someone was playing a trick on him.
“Come on, as I just mentioned, channel your soul power into this formation, and the rest of the formations can help complete it.”
Qin Zhengji pointed to the previous formation.
All these years, even though he hadn’t found anyone to help him,
Qin Zhengji wasn’t idle.
These formations could serve a boosting role.
Moreover, they had achieved full automation.
Only one useful soul was needed to operate this vast array completely.
Finally, it would remove the malevolent energies from his body.
Huff~
Standing in front of the formation, Qin Bei exhaled.
This was to utilize his soul power.
Although his ancestors were right beside him.
If it really worked, what would happen next was hard to predict.
Even Qin Zhengji standing nearby probably found it equally unpredictable.
After all, there had never been a success before.
So once Qin Bei took action, the outcome was anyone’s guess.
There was no telling if there would be danger or if there would be any backlash.
Thinking of this, Qin Bei steeled his resolve, his gaze unwavering!
Just like squeezing toothpaste, he pushed out a thin stream of soul power from his body and sent it into the coffin along with the formation.
Qin Zhengji: ??????
This is outrageous!
Because this time, Qin Bei used even less soul power than before, to an absurd degree.
‘Alright! No wonder he’s Qin Wuhen’s son—ruthless, stingy, and cautious!’
