Chapter 1032, Nervousness
Why the replica Qing Shen came to the Qing Clan has actually always been a mystery to Luo Lan, back in the Holy Mountain, both Li Shen Tan’s replica and Chen Wou Di’s replica appeared, but as soon as they met they were in a hostile state, in the hearts of these two replicas they were actually eager to prove that they were going to be more powerful than the original body.
Because the Fire Seed then told them both that you were born from the genes of Li Shentan and Chen Wufei, but everything has been improved by the Blood of the Gods, so you should be a bit more powerful than the main body.
But as long as the main body was still around, the replica body would always be a replica body, and the replica bodies of Li Shentan and Chen Wuxi weren’t willing to live under someone else’s halo all the time.
But as it turned out, the replica bodies were indeed no match for the main body, just as Ren Xiaosu had said, because the spiritual will was different.
And Qing Zhen’s replica body, Qing Shen, was strange, from the very beginning, he didn’t create any hostility, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said he wanted to go to the Southwest, and as if he predicted something, he said that the original body, Qing Zhen, needed him as a double.
This made Luo Lan very strange, and he had found an opportunity to ask once more, “Haven’t you ever thought of replacing him?”
At that time, the duplicate body Qing Shen laughed, “Unlike the other two duplicates, I’m a bit smarter than them, so I’m well aware of what kind of gap there is between me and the original body Qing Zhen. Sometimes, having self-knowledge is also a sign of wisdom isn’t it?”
All along, the few people who knew about the existence of the replica body Qing Shen slowly felt that it was probably because Qing Zhen’s personality was too powerful, so even the replica body was directly conquered and willingly became a part of the original body’s plan.
However, Luo Lan always felt that things were not that simple, not that Qing Shen still had any bad thoughts stored up, but he felt that the Replica Body Qing Shen had another purpose.
In recent times, because the replica body Qing Shen had been working as a double, he and Luo Lan had quite a lot of interactions, and after familiarizing themselves with each other, they would occasionally joke around.
Slowly, although there was still a gap between them, it was not as tense as before.
Luo Lan looked at the replica body Qing Shen’s beaten look and suddenly asked, “You seem to know both of us brothers very well?”
“Of course,” the replica body Qing Shen said with a smile, “I even know about the fight you guys had with the other Qing Clan children when you were teenagers, you brought Qing Zhen and went to get a group beating from Qing Yi and his older brother, and as a result, you yourself were beaten up and swollen, but you protected Qing Zhen very well. Later on, you and Qing Yi’s brothers also did not fight and had a lot of private dealings, but the old men of the Qing Clan did not know about it. I guess you also have the same reason for being in the same boat, after all, you are all marginalized sons and daughters of the Qing Clan, no better than those of Qing Yun.”
Now, Qing Yun was dead, while Qing Yi had become the Qing Clan’s military commander, becoming second only to Qing Zhen and Luo Lan.
Qing Yi’s brother was the principal of the Qing Clan’s university in Barrier 111, and originally, Qing Zhen had invited the other to come out and serve, but Qing Yi’s brother seemed to prefer the atmosphere of the university.
The replica Qing Shen laughed, “The attention that the Fire Seed paid to the two of you was beyond your imagination, of course the Fire Seed had other goals as well, and at that time they started looking for hosts for those three drops of Divine Blood. But you might not have guessed that you were actually the focus of their attention in the beginning, and only later did it become Qing Zhen. Of course, it turns out that Qing Zhen is more powerful. You won’t be angry if I say that, right?”
“My brother was already more powerful than me, what’s there not to say,” Luo Lan said with a big grin, “But why is Fire Seed focusing on little people like us who are not well known? Obviously there are many other accomplished big names to choose from.”
“I don’t know, they only said that the younger the better, or else they’d just replicate Zhang Jinglin,” Replica Body Qing Shen replied, “On the contrary, I’ve always had a curiosity, is it fun to fight in a group? Why do you often beat your nose and face but still go to the street to fight, obviously a son or daughter of the Qing Clan, but even go to the general knowledge of the street punks ……”
Luo Lan was instantly unhappy, “Why do you keep mentioning the nose and face thing, then you also have to see what kind of enemies I have been beaten up, right? They can be more seriously injured than me! And you have a problem with this question, what’s so fun about fighting in a group, that’s the rivers and lakes of fast and furious, you don’t understand!”
The replica body Qing Shen laughed, “I would have liked to join you guys in a group fight, but unfortunately I wasn’t born in this world at that time. But according to Fireseed’s statistics, you’ve been in a group fight a total of 17 times, and you’ve lost 5 of them.”
“Is Fire Seed sick, how can they even record such things, do they have more funds than they can use or what?” Luo Lan had a dark face, “Also, my brother isn’t as smiley as you are, if you want to be my brother’s understudy be professional, don’t smile all the time! By the way, from now on, in order to differentiate between the two of you, I’ll call you Qing Lao San!”
Luo Lan’s nickname for the duplicate was purely to disgust the other party, the name Qing Lao San was really a bit unpleasant.
However, the replica body Qing Shen didn’t care, instead he said with a smile, “Who is the second, is it Qing Zhen? You’re the oldest? Then I’ll call you brother from now on.”
Luo Lan froze for a moment, how is it that this Qing Laosan has no temper at all, similar to a noodle man who won’t get angry, he carefully sized up Qing Laosan and said, “You’re rather not like my brother’s character at all, on the contrary, this jumpy train of thought is more like another psychopath that I know!”
“Neurotic?” Qing Laosan recalled, “Do you mean Li Shentan?”
“Yes, that’s him,” Luo Lan leered.
“Speaking of Li Shentan, it seems like there hasn’t been any news of him for a long time,” Qing Laosan recalled, “I don’t know where he’s been?”
“Supposedly, he went to watch the typhoon,” Luo Lan replied casually.
……
At this time, moist mist steamed above the dense mountain forests in the mountains to the south of the Central Plains, further south of the Zhou Clan.
In the long years after the Calamity, the original cities here had gradually tumbled down, and vast forest vegetation had grown back on the land.
Some people said that the southern coastline had changed, and that the land area was a bit larger before the Catastrophe, but now that the sea level had risen and submerged a lot of land, coupled with crustal movements, the landscape was completely different.
But not many people really went to see it, only because after the climate change, the mountains and woods in the south of Zhou became dangerous, with poisonous insects, snakes and ants walking all over the place, and huge miasma zones became natural barriers.
Nowadays, only a few medicine pickers would come this way, and it was as if this place had become a forgotten secret land.
In the middle of the woods, there was a large and a small group of two people slowly traveling, Si Li Ren floated in mid-air and sighed as he looked at the completely endless woods in front of him, “Li Shentan, are you pointing the wrong way again?”
“Don’t call me Li Shentan, you have to call me brother Shentan, that’s the only way to be cordial!”
