Long Shi swept his gaze over the three of them and nodded slightly, responding, "Yes, I know!"
"Young Master Long, can we really join..."
Mao Xiang eagerly inquired if he could join the Divine Gate.
If he joined the Divine Gate, then the Golden Saber Gate would truly have nothing to fear from the Order Hall. The rules set by the Order Hall would no longer be of any use to them!
This was because the Order Hall governed heaven and earth, but it could not govern the Divine Gate!
However, just as Mao Xiang was halfway through his question, Long Shi suddenly noticed Qin Yi standing nearby and asked, "Who are you?"
With his question, Yu Tongbao, Mao Xiang, and the others subconsciously turned their gazes to Qin Yi.
They finally realized that Li Changsheng and the others had left, but Qin Yi had not.
Instantly, Yu Tongbao walked up to Qin Yi, his face cold, and asked, "Why are you still here? Aren't you leaving?"
Qin Yi, however, paid no attention to Yu Tongbao, not even giving him a glance. He only stared at Long Shi and asked, "Young Master Long, may I speak with you privately?"
"Who do you think you are, wanting to speak with Young Master Long alone? Are you qualified?"
Ignored, Yu Tongbao was furious. Before Long Shi could answer, he retorted.
Long Shi looked at Qin Yi with amusement and asked, "You want to speak with me alone? About what?"
Qin Yi walked directly towards Long Shi.
"What do you want? Stop right there!"
Seeing this, Mao Xiang, wanting to curry favor with Long Shi, immediately blocked Long Shi's path, trying to stop him from approaching.
However, Long Shi stopped Mao Xiang's action.
Long Shi allowed Qin Yi to walk up to him and stop, with less than a meter between them.
Following this, Qin Yi lifted the sleeve of his left hand, deliberately exposing the tattoo on his left wrist to Long Shi's eyes.
Because they were standing close, and Qin Yi did it intentionally, only Long Shi saw the tattoo on his left wrist!
Mao Xiang, Jin Xianxian, and Abbot Hui Guang, who were nearby, did not see it.
Upon seeing the tattoo on Qin Yi's left wrist, all other expressions on Long Shi's face instantly vanished, replaced by profound shock!
He thought he was hallucinating. He closed his eyes, then opened them again, wanting to see more clearly. He even instinctively reached out to take Qin Yi's left hand to examine it.
Qin Yi naturally did not let him succeed. After letting him see for a moment, he immediately withdrew his hand, put down his sleeve, and covered the tattoo on his wrist.
Then, Qin Yi asked with a half-smile, "Well, can I speak with you privately now?"
After asking, he turned and walked out of the hall without waiting for a reply.
"He's crazy!"
"Who does he think he is, wanting to talk to Young Master Long alone? Are you worthy?"
"Young Master Long, ignore him..."
Watching Qin Yi's retreating back, Mao Xiang, Jin Xianxian, Abbot Hui Guang, and Yu Tongbao spoke out one after another.
However, before they could finish speaking, they saw Long Shi stride forward and quickly chase after Qin Yi.
"???"
"!!!"
"..."
In an instant, their words stopped, replaced by astonishment and confusion.
...
Qin Yi left the reception hall of the Wonderful Treasure Pavilion and did not walk far. Seeing that there was no one else around, he stopped.
Soon, Long Shi caught up and asked, "Who exactly are you?"
Qin Yi turned back to face Long Shi and retorted, "Since you recognize the tattoo on my wrist and you previously produced that token, don't you know who I am?"
Hearing this, Long Shi's face was covered with shock, disbelief, and various other complex emotions.
After a long while, he swallowed and then opened his mouth to say, "You, you are the Divine King!!!"
Qin Yi smiled and nodded, admitting it.
He then asked Long Shi again, "I've answered your question, now it's your turn to answer mine!"
"Who are you in the Divine Gate? What was that token before?"
Although Qin Yi admitted he was the Divine King and that the other party had the Divine King tattoo on his wrist, as a genuine member of the Divine Gate, Long Shi had never heard of Qin Yi in all these years!
In his impression, the Divine Gate had not had a Divine King for many years. In recent years, all matters of the Divine Gate, big and small, had been handled by the two Vice Gate Masters and numerous elders!
Furthermore, Qin Yi was so young, and he had been with Li Changsheng and the others earlier...
Therefore, Long Shi still had some doubts about Qin Yi!
However, he had nothing to hide regarding Qin Yi's questions and answered truthfully, "I am the Divine Son of the Divine Gate! That token before was naturally the Divine Son Token that I possess!"
"Divine Son? Divine Son Token?"
Qin Yi's face showed confusion, clearly not understanding the meaning of Divine Son and Divine Son Token.
He had no choice. He was completely ignorant of the basic situation of the Divine Gate, let alone other matters.
Long Shi saw the confusion on Qin Yi's face and became even more suspicious of Qin Yi's identity!
How could the other party, as the Divine King, not know what Divine Son and Divine Son Token meant?
However, because the tattoo on Qin Yi's left wrist was real, Long Shi could not say anything even though he had doubts.
Subsequently, Qin Yi asked him a few more questions, and he answered them all truthfully.
For example, when Qin Yi asked what a Divine Son meant, the other party told him that a Divine Son represented the son of a high-ranking official in the Divine Gate!
The Divine Son Token was a symbol of the Divine Son's status! It was similar to the tattoo on his wrist, which was a symbol of the Divine King's status!
After Qin Yi asked these two questions, he was about to continue asking Long Shi about the Divine Gate, but he saw Yu Tongbao and the other four emerge from the hall and walk directly towards them.
Qin Yi had to swallow his questions, postpone his inquiries, and left without lingering in the Wonderful Treasure Pavilion.
"Young Master Long!"
"Young Master Long, what did that kid talk to you about just now?"
"..."
As soon as Yu Tongbao and the other four approached, they all asked Long Shi.
In response, Long Shi's eyes turned cold as he swept them a glance and spat out, "Do I need to report to you?"
Yu Tongbao and the other four stiffened, waved their hands in apology, and dared not inquire any further.
Finally, Long Shi looked at Qin Yi's retreating back as he walked out of the Wonderful Treasure Pavilion, his eyes deep and thoughtful.
Only after Qin Yi had completely left the Wonderful Treasure Pavilion and was out of sight did he retract his gaze.
Li Changsheng and the others exited the Wonderful Treasure Pavilion.
Unsurprisingly, Fang Zheng'ao, Xue Qiao'er, Huo Qiyang, and Qin Qiong could not help but ask Li Changsheng why they left so abruptly!
They asked him who that Young Master Long was, and why Li Changsheng's expression changed drastically and seemed very wary after seeing the token he produced!
Li Changsheng stopped and turned back to face everyone, replying, "That Young Master Long, he is from the Divine Gate! Moreover, his father, Long Hun, is one of the Vice Gate Masters of the Divine Gate!"
