People in Terra, poor and weak but invincible

Chapter 292 Inside Story

"you know me?"

Qi Yan asked deliberately.

He wanted to confirm whether Hei Jian had heard about the trouble he had caused outside, or had seen him from other perspectives.

He tends more towards the latter.

After all, Black Key, as a noble, has no dignity at all. He is locked up in a high tower every day, and his information channels are probably worse than those of Chalk.

As expected, Hei Jian bowed gracefully to Qi Yan and explained:

“I saw the list of names on the draft last night and you were listed next to Mr. Czerny, so I have great respect for you.

I was looking forward to meeting you last night and hearing you play.”

As soon as these words came out, Murphy beside him gasped.

He is worthy of being the owner of the Voice of the World, one of the only two remaining wizard kings on this land, so brave!

Murphy's inhalation attracted Hei Jian's attention. Hei Jian then remembered that he had rudely forgotten about Murphy because he was talking to Qi Yan.

Although he didn't have a great affection for powerful people like Murphy, he didn't like to show any arrogance.

Black Key said politely:

"Sorry, I just saw Mr. Qi Yan was a little excited. My name is Hei Jian, and I am the Count of Utica."

"Murphy Kanter, Viscount of Visheim."

Murphy looked at him as if he was a warrior, stepped forward to shake hands with Black Key, and then obediently retreated behind Qi Yan.

This little detail gave Hei Jian some enlightenment.

"Okay, let's go to the lounge and chat about whatever we were talking about in the corridor." Qi Yan greeted warmly.

Hei Jian originally wanted to refuse Qi Yan's invitation. After all, he was a contestant, and if he was seen getting too close to the judges, it would inevitably cause some criticism.

But he changed his mind and decided, why bother about other people's opinions? As long as he had a clear conscience, that was enough. So he simply accepted Qi Yan's invitation.

The group returned to the lounge and found that there was already someone waiting inside.

"Gargamel?" Qi Yan asked in confusion, "Why are you here?"

Gertrude: “…”

If there was no one else in the room, she would never have realized that Qi Yan was talking to her.

"I came here to talk to you about the contestants."

Gertrude ignored some of the minor details of the address and stated her purpose:

"This talent show was unexpectedly popular. Many people were attracted by your novel way of playing. In addition to those infected in the Sunset District, there were also many people with their own backgrounds participating.

I have their list here, and the other judges have already seen it. You can also take a look at it. Of course, just take a look, there is no other meaning. "

As she spoke, Gertrude handed over a form.

She thought Qi Yan would be dismissive of such things, but unexpectedly Qi Yan snatched the form directly and sat aside to look at it carefully.

When Hei Jian saw this inside story with his own eyes, his brows were immediately locked into the shape of a "川" character.

This was the kind of thing he hated the most, and at this moment even his attitude towards Qi Yan had cooled down a lot.

Just as Black Key was thinking about how to find an excuse to leave alone, he heard Gertrude say:

"If possible, I hope you can exercise some restraint and not eliminate all of them at once. At least keep the ones I circled for you."

"Do you still care about these?" Qi Yan asked.

"Of course, because one of them is the person behind me." Gertrude raised the corner of her mouth slightly.

Qi Yan nodded to show his understanding.

Gertrude wanted to kill those people who controlled her behind the scenes. Now that she had finally brought them together through the show The Voice of La Tania, she certainly didn't want to let them run away.

But the conversation between the two immediately changed its meaning when Hei Jian heard it.

Not only do they want to get the inside information, they even want to get the inside information within the inside information and give special care to their own people!

"Sorry, I have something else to do, so I'll leave for now."

Hei Jian's face was gloomy. He didn't even bother to say the most basic courtesy. He just stood up and walked out.

"Bai Ke, go and see him off. It's a good opportunity for you to go to the contestant waiting area to prepare for the competition."

Qi Yan folded the list and put it in his pocket: "There's not much time left before the show starts. Do your best. I'm looking forward to your performance."

"Well, I won't let you down!"

Baichao stood up and caught up with Black Key.

Murphy watched the two people leave one after another, and couldn't help but let out a light sigh. For some reason, he didn't like seeing Bai Ke and Hei Jian alone.

Gertrude looked at Murphy strangely, said nothing, and turned to look at Qi Yan.

For the first time, she showed hesitation and hesitated for a long time as if she wanted to say something.

Qi Yan took the initiative to ask: "Are you constipated?"

"...It's about Czerny." Gertrude took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "With your information channels, you must know Czerny's character. He is a little too upright, and often what he says may be unpleasant.

But... but he... should be able to play a big role in the plan of the Earthly Sound, his musical level is very high!"

Qi Yan's expression became more and more strange. He looked at Murphy beside him, and both of them showed understanding.

Gertrude gritted her teeth at the expressions of the two men.

"Don't think too much. I just don't want to waste a good card in my hand. Czerny's works over the years have created a lot of income for me." Gertrude defended herself forcefully.

"Yes, yes. The profits are so high that even you, a person who doesn't want to live, would care about it a lot." Qi Yan said with a teasing look on his face.

"As far as I know, the copyright of Czerny's works over the years has been successfully kept in his hands thanks to your secret manipulation."

Murphy also smiled jokingly: "Could it be that you two have already secretly concluded a marriage, and what's his is yours, and what's yours is his?"

"Viscount Murphy!"

Gertrude's expression suddenly turned cold, even revealing a hint of cruelty.

Murphy: “…”

Damn it, it’s nothing that Qi Yan teased you, but as soon as I spoke, you reacted as if you wanted to eat me?

Murphy folded his arms, crossed his legs and continued leisurely:

"Ms. Gertrude, watch your attitude. My eldest brother hasn't bothered you yet regarding the big mushroom incident."

When this matter was suddenly brought up, a gloomy look flashed across Gertrude's eyes.

But don't lose your sense of proportion.

The fact that Qi Yan didn't kill her and was even willing to have a normal conversation with her showed that she was still of some use.

"It seems like you've been living a good and comfortable life recently." Gertrude's voice was cold, "Then you'd better keep it up."

After saying that, she stood up and quickly left the room, not wanting to stay for a moment.

When only Qi Yan and Murphy were left in the room, Qi Yan looked at Murphy with amusement and asked:

"You're not even going to act it out yet, and you're going to conclude that Gertrude will die in the end?"

"Well, whether she lives or dies depends entirely on your words."

Murphy instantly changed from a domineering attitude to a flattering attitude with a smile on his face: "But when it comes to helping you, big brother, a hundred of hers can't compare to me. I am your most useful little brother!"

"Are you sure?" Qi Yan showed some disdain. "She is a beautiful wealthy woman with a thin waist and long legs and a broad mind. Are you sure you can do what she can do?"

Murphy's eyes widened: "Are you okay with this?"

Qi Yan stared at him with deathly eyes, saying nothing.

Murphy shrank his neck and lowered his head in thought.

Just as Qi Yan stood up and walked towards the door to prepare for the program recording, Murphy suddenly seemed to have made up his mind, slapped his thigh and stood up:

"Brother, I can do it too!"

Qi Yan:?

He turned around and saw Murphy with a desperate expression on his face, making flirtatious gestures towards him.

Qi Yan fell silent.

After a while, he said, "Lao Mo, go get me a piece of pure source stone."

"No problem, brother!" Murphy asked casually, "What do you want the Pure Originium for?"

"You will be completely wiped out from this land!"
