Chapter 573 - 570: Differing Paths_1
Ren Shijie rubbed the fish food with his fingers and scattered it into the lake. "I had tested this Mr. Qin before..."
"You want to recruit Mr. Qin to Yan?" Xiao Rongyan gazed at the carp in the lake and asked leisurely, "Is this person really that talented?"
"This person is indeed a great talent! So, I took the risk to try, thinking that if I could recruit him to Yan and have him work for our country, it would count as a merit for me. However, I was almost discovered by Qin Shangzhi, so I had to drop the matter to avoid ruining it."
Ren Shijie lamented the loss of talent, feeling it wasteful for Qin Shangzhi’s abilities to be wasted. He pondered and suggested, "If you could devise a way to tame him, he could surely become a capable minister to assist our Yan."
Xiao Rongyan lowered his eyes and handed the wiping cloth back to Yue Shi without a word.
Talents, Yan desperately needed them. But this Mr. Qin... Although Xiao Rongyan had not had much contact with him, he knew that the man had a deep loyalty to his motherland and would never betray it to serve Yan and confront Jin.
People with great abilities often had their pride and principles. Mr. Qin Shangzhi was no different. Otherwise, he would have joined the Bai family long ago.
Xiao Rongyan still remembered Bai Qingyan sending off Qin Shangzhi outside Dadu City. Although he didn’t know what Bai Qingyan had said to him at that time, he saw Qin Shangzhi’s emotionally charged expression from afar. He believed that Qin Shangzhi was inclined to follow Bai Qingyan.
