I see Qingshan

Chapter 90 Secret
Looking into Tang Xin's questioning eyes, Black Bear blushed and said somewhat guiltily, "You're talking nonsense, I didn't, I didn't!"

Tang Xin said coldly, "Then why are you blushing?"

Black bear: "It must have been frozen by day?"

Tang Xin: "I think you're an undercover agent for the villainous forces. Otherwise, how would you know everything? Do you have some ulterior motive?"

The black bear argued vehemently: "How could that be? I'm the villain! I'm righteous and evil! Even if I'm an undercover agent, I'm a righteous one!"

Tang Xin said thoughtfully, "You admitted it, so you really are an undercover agent..."

She had long suspected the black bear's motives for working at the inn.

Most of the other special creatures that come to the inn have strong and obvious purposes, either to kill her or, like Qin Ying, to force her to do something. But the black bear is different; he only cares about food and lodging and doesn't even need a salary, which seems abnormal.

Since the black bear had saved her earlier, Tang Xin didn't think much of it at the time and suppressed her doubts.

But seeing him say so much more just now, I couldn't help but question him.

Although she had a suspicion, Tang Xin still couldn't figure out what the black bear's purpose was.

Black Bear: "Boss, I'm really not an undercover agent..."

Tang Xin said with a half-smile, "If you don't tell the truth, I'll tell Qin Ying what you just said."

Black Bear: "...You're being way too biased."

Black Bear's words left Tang Xin slightly stunned.

Her biggest wish used to be to get rich, and secondly, to get rid of Qin Ying completely.

After all, that guy wasn't a good person. Although he had saved her a few times, it was actually because he still had some use to her. After all, only she, the guardian of the mountain, could ignore the seal and go to the world of mountains and seas to retrieve the phoenix blood for him.

However, since Qin Chao returned to modern society, her mindset has indeed changed somewhat.

In some ways, Qin Ying was practically raised by her. After all, she took Qin Ying with her, hiding and relying on each other for many years. Little Qin Ying was also quite obedient and filial.

He even had some connections with Qin Ying's parents, especially since he had promised to take good care of little Qin Ying before Hei Long died.

It seems reasonable for a master to show favoritism towards his disciple. But should he favor an undercover agent whose purpose is unknown?

Tang Xin: "I'll count to three, three..."

Black Bear pleaded with a long face, "Boss, please, please don't tell Qin Ying! I'll tell you, I knew I couldn't hide it from you..."

As the black bear recounted everything in detail, Tang Xin's expression changed at least several times.

Good heavens, there's such a huge force of living beings behind the black bear, and both Qin Ying and I are under their surveillance.

If the black bear hadn't been so stupid and secretive, he probably wouldn't have discovered it until his death.

Tang Xin frowned and asked, "You suspect that Qin Ying and I have some shady dealings going on behind the scenes?"

Black Bear sighed: "After all, we have to be careful, given the example of the second generation of mountain guardians. Besides, Qin Ying was originally a special creature who escaped from the mountains and seas. Boss, as the mountain guardian, you don't want to reseal him, but instead want to obtain phoenix blood for him. That doesn't make sense. Don't tell me you don't know that the moment you became the mountain guardian, you must have inherited a lot of information about the mountains and seas in your mind. Every generation of mountain guardians is no exception. There can't be any special cases."

"Information transmission?" Tang Xin looked increasingly puzzled as she saw that the black bear spoke with such certainty, as if it were not joking.

He had no idea that the information about becoming a mountain guardian would inevitably appear in his mind.

Tang Xin shook her head: "I don't know what you're saying. I don't even know I'm a mountain guardian. I only heard it from you guys. At first, when I suddenly could understand the language of plants and animals, I thought I had awakened some kind of superpower..."

Black Bear sighed and said, "Originally, the higher-ups thought you were faking it and suspected you were playing some kind of game with Qin Ying, so they didn't intervene rashly. It turns out you didn't know anything at all. This situation is truly special, and... the mountain guardians don't have the ability to understand the language of plants and animals at all."

Tang Xin: "What happened?"

Black Bear: "How would I know... Besides, while I believe what you've said, the higher-ups will definitely not. If you really bring the Phoenix Blood to Qin Ying, they will definitely take action. You'd better think it over; you can't bear the consequences."

This time, Tang Xin didn't continue to refute. This misunderstanding would probably be difficult to explain, so she said perfunctorily, "Okay, okay, I understand. I will consider it carefully."

The black bear breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right!"

Tang Xin felt that something was strange about it.

The forces behind the black bear seem very unwilling to see Qin Ying obtain the Phoenix Blood. Is there some other hidden reason behind this?

Logically speaking, how could such a powerful force, with its extensive influence, be completely unaware of what happened back then?
How old was Qin Ying when he obtained the destiny of the nation? What ability did he have to steal the destiny of the nation?
Is it reasonable to say that a creature that has just hatched is stealing the fate of a nation?

Moreover, the fate of the nation originally belonged to Qin Ying's father, Heilong, and the fate of the nation could be transferred; even the second-generation guardian of the mountain knew this...

The father passes his kingdom to his son, and they call that theft?
If we're talking about stealing the nation's destiny, then the second generation whose minds were controlled back then was the one who truly stole the nation's destiny. Why didn't the forces behind Black Bear intervene?

Unless, the mysterious being who manipulated the mind of the second-generation mountain guardian has some connection with the forces behind the black bear.

However, there were still some things Tang Xin hadn't figured out yet.

If that's the case, then why was the second generation sealed in the Mountain and Sea?
After all, according to Black Bear, the second generation was sealed away at a great cost by their faction.

"Unless the second generation is no longer useful, or shows signs of breaking free from control and becoming uncontrollable..."

Tang Xin was immediately startled, and several possibilities came to mind.

Could it be that some high-ranking figures behind the Black Bear have already had their minds manipulated, just like the second-generation mountain guardian?

If that's the case, then distorting the truth makes sense, and it's even possible that Qin Ying's sealing in the mountains and seas was part of its scheme.

Based on the assumption that this is true, why would it not want Qin Ying to obtain the Phoenix Blood?

The only way to find the answer is probably when the Blood Moon appears and one enters the Mountain and Sea.

Regardless, she felt she was caught up in some huge conspiracy.

If the mountain guardian has no ability to communicate with plants and animals, how can his own situation be explained?

Moreover, she knew nothing about the information transmission that would supposedly occur the moment she became the mountain guardian.

All these factors combined suggest that it is probably not just a simple coincidence.

She had to go into the world of mountains and seas; perhaps some unknown secrets were hidden there.
