Chapter 404: Chapter 229: Finally Stood Up! _1

Upon making his decision, Qin Ming spoke to the young waiter, whose gaze was directed at him.

“You come and watch the place for me, don’t let anyone disturb me in the inner hall until I come out.”

“Do you understand?”

The waiter promptly nodded in response.

“Master, you go do what you have to, I’ll make sure nothing goes awry here,” he said.

“If a serious matter arises that I can’t handle, I’ll seek help from the kitchen and not disturb you!”

The Azure Scales Immortal Fish is a Communication Beast used by the Pavilion Masters of the Twelve Pavilions to communicate with each other.

Ever since Qin Ming summoned the Azure Scales Immortal Fish, the waiter suspected that there was an issue within the Twelve Pavilions.

Jingtao Pavilion, located in Dragon Rising Federation, ranks within the top five amongst the Twelve Pavilions.

It is always the first to bear the brunt whenever there is an issue within the Twelve Pavilions.

In the waiter’s memory, in the past two or three years, seldom had the master summoned the Azure Scales Immortal Fish for immediate news, and then remained so serious afterward.

Qin Ming entered the inner hall and took out a deep blue gemstone shaped like a button.

Qin Ming infused his Soul Power into the button-shaped deep blue gemstone, and the interior of the gemstone immediately fluttered with glimmers of light.

It wasn’t long before he heard Shui Miao’s calm voice.

“Does Jingtao Pavilion have any important matters to report?”

Shui Miao, the founder of the Twelve Pavilions, did not hold absolute control, taking care of everything personally.

Instead, he delegated authority to the Twelve Pavilions.

As the Pavilion Master of Jingtao Pavilion, Qin Ming wielded significant power and could manage all matters within the Pavilion.

Unless he encountered a major issue and did not know how to decide, Qin Ming would not actively contact Shui Miao.

The main aim for Shui Miao’s establishment of the Twelve Pavilions was to collect intelligence.

The Twelve Pavilions is an organization focused on collecting and selling information and is rooted in various federations, big and small.

Its name was prominently placed in the World Power Rankings of the All Nations Union.

The power ranking of the All Nations Union is not ordered and all the forces on the list were formidable.

Unlike the Evil Heart Sect, Ancient Genesis, and Eternal Alchemy Association, who were antagonists of the All Nations Union, the Twelve Pavilions not only collaborated with the All Nations Union but also maintained good relationships with many other forces.

Its utterly neutral core meant that few forces would actively seek trouble with the Twelve Pavilions.

So Shui Miao couldn’t figure out why Qin Ming was seeking him out.

Qin Ming was taken aback by Shui Miao’s words.

Shui Miao had clearly arrived in the Dragon Rising Federation but didn’t come to Jingtao Pavilion. Instead, when he initiated contact, he asked if there were any significant issues to report from Jingtao Pavilion.

This unsettled Qin Ming.

Had he made a mistake during this period?

There haven’t been any major complications in the Dragon Rising Federation lately, right?

If there was to be any significant incident, it would be the attack on JA City by the Evil Heart Sect for an unknown reason a few days ago.

It nearly resulted in immeasurable losses for Jinghai Province of the Dragon Rising Federation.

There was no deep-seated hatred between the Dragon Rising Federation and the Evil Heart Sect initially, but this incident led to immediate hostility.

The All Nations Union also issued another warning to the Evil Heart Sect as a result.

The Evil Heart Sect was always restless, and as such, Qin Ming didn’t deem it to be a pressing issue.

Only the specifics of the news was aggregated. There was no time to upload it to Wanxun Pavilion in the Twelve Pavilions, which was ranked first.

Shui Miao surely would not form an opinion or view about him because of this matter, would he?

Shui Miao was not from the Dragon Rising Federation, but from a minor federation.

That small federation had collapsed due to internal decay one hundred and seventy years ago.

Therefore, Shui Miao had no reason to sympathize with JA City.

Qin Ming carefully spoke up.

“Sir, I did not know that you went to Lu City. I wonder if you are available now? I can come to Lu City immediately and report to you in person about the recent developments within the Dragon Rising Federation.”

Hearing Qin Ming’s words, Shui Miao, who was returning from the endless snow mountains of the frigid region and planning to head to the Dragon Rising Federation, had a surprised expression on his face.

When did he go to Lu City of the Dragon Rising Federation?

Qin Ming was not an impulsive person. He must have confirmed such information before making such a statement.

Suddenly, Shui Miao remembered that he had given the Noface Star Paper to Fang Mu.

If Fang Mu wore the Noface Star Paper that he had given out in Lu City, it was highly possible that Qin Ming and the people of the Twelve Pavilions would mistake Fang Mu for him.

Understanding the course of events, Shui Miao laughingly said to Qin Ming.

“Old Qin, you continue to manage Jingtao Pavilion. I will come to Jingtao Pavilion in a few days to find you.”

“At that time, you can report to me about the situations that occurred in the Dragon Rising Federation!”

Hearing Shui Miao’s tone with no unusual emphasis, Qin Ming felt relieved. Before ending the call, he added with concern,

“Sir, remember to eat regularly and adequately. It’s the best for your health!”

“Even if your abilities improve and your life span is extended, lack of restraint could still affect your lifespan!”

Qin Ming knew he didn’t have the standing to say such things. However, as one of Shui Miao’s old subordinates, he was genuinely worried about Shui Miao’s health.

Shui Miao had founded the Twelve Pavilions a hundred years ago, and at that time, his abilities were already unfathomable.

Qin Ming estimated that Shui Miao was at least over three hundred years old.
