My Professions Have Too Much Personality

’Old Qing, oh, Old Qing. You disappoint me. You still couldn’t hold back...’ Su Chen shook his head inwardly.

On the way here, he had sensed that Qing Cang was coming for this very reason. He shouldn’t have needed an answer from him; Qing Cang likely already had one in mind. But still, he couldn’t contain his curiosity.

There wasn’t much to hide from Qing Cang about this, so Su Chen nodded. "I got lucky and managed to do it."

"As I thought." Qing Cang wasn’t surprised. He had guessed it before and was even seventy to eighty percent sure. Asking was just for confirmation.

But his gaze toward Su Chen was inevitably a bit complicated. He had also tried to deal with the outermost Fog Ashes, and just thinking back on it made his scalp tingle. Su Chen had only just advanced to Tier Six, yet he had purified it. The more he thought about it, the more unbelievable it seemed.

"Just what are you..." Qing Cang started to speak but stopped himself.

Seeing Qing Cang’s curiosity about to boil over, Su Chen quickly changed the subject. "The interrogation of Qin Yun by the Four Great Sects and the Royal Court... is it over already?"

Seeing Su Chen change the subject, Qing Cang felt a bit helpless. He was just curious; it wasn’t like he was going to do anything. ’This kid’s vigilance is too strong.’ But on second thought, it was normal. After all, he was born on a Desolate Planet and had even survived for a considerable time as a so-called "refugee." If he wasn’t a little vigilant, he would have been killed long ago.

Thinking of this, he no longer dwelled on it and nodded. "Yes, the matter with Qin Yun should be resolved for now."

"Resolved for now?" Su Chen was a little surprised. ’Wei Zhenghong and the others only just got back,’ he thought. ’They probably haven’t been talking for long, and it’s already resolved?’

Qing Cang hesitated slightly. What Qin Yun had said was still a secret for now, but it would be made public sooner or later.

"This matter is a bit complicated to explain..." Seeing Qing Cang about to elaborate, Su Chen quickly leaned in, ready to listen.

"So, Qin Yun said..." Qing Cang roughly recounted what Qin Yun had said, finally summarizing,

"Since it involves the Spirit of Sun, both the Four Great Ancient Kings and the Hanhai Emperor will likely stop holding Qin Yun accountable."

"To people at their level, the death of a Morning Star Tier is a pity, but the Spirit of Sun is still more important."

"The Spirit of Sun..." Su Chen murmured the words, his brow furrowing slightly. ’What is Qin Yun trying to do?’

He didn’t quite understand. While saying this could stop the Four Great Sects and the Royal Court from pursuing him, it also put him on the spot. He would inevitably have to enter the Lost Flame once more.

But if he entered the Lost Flame again, was Qin Yun confident he could survive?

’No, wait.’ He suddenly thought of something—Qin Tianlin!

Su Chen’s eyelid twitched. ’Qin Yun didn’t come out of there with nothing; at the very least, he brought out the purple flame that can plunder Professions.’

Qin Yun was still hiding something, but besides Qin Yun and Qin Tianlin, probably no one else knew about it.

’A Divine Dawn Level Talent is the threshold, and Qin Tianlin has a Divine Dawn Level Talent. Could he be confident that he can get Qin Tianlin recognized by the Spirit of Sun?’

At this thought, Su Chen’s heart sank slightly. He couldn’t help but think deeper, realizing more and more just how shrewd Qin Yun was.

The situation with the Bronze Sect’s Flame Fire had improved, so for the time being, the Ancient King was no longer desperate. The biggest Protective Talisman that Qin Yun had possessed was now gone.

And just like that, he immediately fashioned a new Protective Talisman for himself.

If this matter were reported up the chain, the Four Great Ancient Kings and the Hanhai Emperor would probably all keep a close watch on Qin Yun. Even if the Ancient King wanted to settle the score for some of the things Qin Yun had done, it would likely be difficult.

Previously, Qin Yun had always been a potential successor to the Ancient King. If the Flame Fire truly reached a point of near-extinction, the Bronze Ancient King would have no choice but to select Qin Yun, and then sacrifice his own life to save the Flame Fire.

Because of this, the Ancient King had turned a blind eye to many of the things Qin Yun did, including the persecution of Wei Zhenghong twenty years ago.

This also included his subordinates making moves against him several times. There were punishments, but they were minor reprimands, not severe penalties.

’If he can guarantee his own safety upon entering the Lost Flame, then this excuse actually seems plausible.’

The only uncertainty was that with multiple parties involved, even if Qin Tianlin became the Chosen One, the endgame might not be pretty.

If the crisis with the Flame Fire hadn’t improved, Qin Yun probably wouldn’t have said any of this. Even if he had obtained something from the Lost Flame, no one would have known.

"But this is good, too..." Qing Cang was in a good mood. "Since Qin Yun put it that way, this matter is seventy percent resolved."

With the Spirit of Sun involved, it was no longer a simple matter of investigating the death of a Morning Star Tier. Even if his master wanted to protect Qin Yun, the other three Ancient Kings and the Hanhai Emperor would never agree.

Therefore, his master would never do such a thing.

What Qing Cang feared was the situation being pushed step by step to a point where the Bronze Sect would have to pay too high a price for Qin Yun, falling into a trap one step at a time.

But with the Spirit of Sun involved, there was no room for leniency from the very beginning. The Bronze Ancient King naturally wouldn’t stick his neck out to protect Qin Yun at all costs.

’This isn’t necessarily a good thing...’ Su Chen’s eyes flickered. ’If Qin Tianlin gets chosen...’

But right now, there was nothing he could say to warn him. Qin Yun was wrapped in a new Protective Talisman, and Su Chen wasn’t about to poke the bear at a time like this.

Until he entered that Lost Flame, Qin Yun’s life was no longer his own.

But that also meant that if Qin Yun really wanted to do something, he would face almost no consequences in the short term.

"When will Qin Yun take people into the Lost Flame?" Su Chen couldn’t help but ask.

"It will probably be a while. This matter still needs to be reported, and the Ancient Kings and the Hanhai Emperor will discuss it further. There’s a lot of red tape involved."

Qing Cang speculated, "Whether what Qin Yun said is true or false still needs further verification. I estimate this whole thing might not be resolved before the Peak Star Conference ends."

Su Chen breathed a small sigh of relief. ’That’s good. Black Tuo hasn’t arrived yet. I wonder what the odds are that the Great Deceitful God can get Qin Tianlin killed.’

"However..." Qing Cang sounded a little regretful. "If what Qin Yun said is true, then only those at the Divine Dawn Level are qualified to be chosen. That eliminates a huge number of people."

Including Su Chen himself.

Su Chen naturally understood Qing Cang’s underlying meaning but appeared unconcerned. "He already said it. Divine Dawn Level is just the threshold. It doesn’t guarantee they’ll be favored by the Spirit of Sun. It’s not like it *has* to pick a Chosen One."

"True..." Qing Cang nodded, then chuckled, realizing he hadn’t seen things as clearly as Su Chen. "But it’s the Spirit of Sun, after all. It captures the hearts and minds of so many."

"Alright, I don’t have anything else. You can get back to your business." Qing Cang turned to leave, but Su Chen quickly called out to him.

"You have something else?" Qing Cang stopped.

Su Chen asked, "I heard you’re also managing the preliminaries for the Peak Star Conference, Senior Brother?"

"That’s right. Are you interested?" Qing Cang said thoughtfully. "Then again, with your current strength, you’re qualified to compete."

"It’s not really about competing."

Su Chen shook his head, then briefly told Qing Cang about the Morning Star Essence.

Hearing this, Qing Cang couldn’t help but frown. "The Royal Court is that insidious."

He had been there last time when Su Chen mentioned the Morning Star Essence to the Ancient King, but he really hadn’t thought about what would happen next.

The people from the Royal Court had only just arrived, so he hadn’t received any information regarding the Morning Star Essence. But based on past experience, he speculated,

"If, as my master said, their goal is to probe you, then the reward method will likely be very particular..."

"I’ve more or less guessed. It’s probably an extra reward for the ’Little Peak Star’."

"Little Peak Star?" Su Chen was confused. Qing Cang explained, "The Peak Star Conference involves the entire Dust Star Sea, but only about a hundred or so people actually pass the preliminaries and enter the elimination stage. Almost all of them are Tier Seven."

"Only in a few rare conferences do a small number of Tier Six Professionals make it through."

’The Peak Star Conference has a strict age limit,’ Su Chen mused. ’Even for those who focus solely on developing their Main Profession without preparing for others, the number of people who can become a Tier Seven Professional before the age of fifty isn’t very high.’

Qing Cang continued, "The Tier Sevens compete for the title of Peak Star. But with so many people coming from all over, they’re obviously not all just here for the spectacle. There are bound to be some extra rewards."

"And the strongest Tier Six in the preliminaries also gets an extra reward. They’re jokingly called the ’Little Peak Star.’ Although it can’t compare to the title and rewards of the actual Peak Star, it’s still very good."
