The external storm may have subsided, or it may be brewing.

But all of this had little to do with Lin Ce, who was developing peacefully in the Sihai Escort Agency.

After successfully delivering the goods, Su Qianzhong received a very good reward, which he spent entirely on improving his martial arts skills.

Besides the fused "Qingyan Breaking Mountain Fist," he also used "special skill points" to break through his own limits in some other martial arts.

Instead of killing the three villains who were originally under his control, Lin Ce sold them to the Su family at a reasonable price.

In return, the Su family promised them a large courtyard.

It is said that the place is under renovation in Sihai Prefecture and will be ready to move there in two or three months.

How long has it been since they moved from Erhe County to Sanjiang County?

They were about to move to Sihai Mansion.

Never before in the martial arts world has a security escort agency developed so rapidly.

Lin Ce also knew that this performance was too amazing and too eye-catching.

He intends to keep a low profile.

Things did indeed calm down for a while afterward.

He vaguely heard from Su Caiying that the Su family was truly enraged this time.

This is the first time that a direct descendant has been kidnapped.

The Su family unanimously decided to take this opportunity to make an example of someone.

Otherwise, if everyone in the martial arts world sees that the Su family is rich, everyone will think of kidnapping members of the Su family in exchange for some benefits. What should we do then?

Therefore, after exchanging the three evils from Lin Ce, the Su family prepared to implement a plan.

They will hold a grand ceremony to punish evildoers in Sihai Prefecture a month from now.

The evildoers who were executed were naturally the four most audacious individuals who dared to reach out to the Su family.

Setting the timeframe at least two weeks in advance naturally reflects certain considerations.

A month was allotted to notify all the sects and factions in the martial arts world, giving them ample time to arrive.

During this month, the Su family naturally wouldn't wait idly.

They dispatched a large number of warriors to various places to capture the remaining third evil among the Four Evils.

The saying goes, "Eliminate evil completely." In order to ensure the success of the mass execution of evil a month later, they naturally wouldn't let Wu Renshi, who had slipped through the net, go.

Some members of the Su family even suggested to Lin Ce that he also help with the arrest at sea.

But Lin Ce rejected him.

Lin Ce's reasons were also quite valid:

"I'm just a bodyguard; I'm not suited for things like arresting criminals."

Lin Ce was indeed not interested in this.

Because in the "King of Escorts" system's judgment, the task of apprehending a fugitive is not considered escorting goods, and even if it is completed successfully, the system's rewards will not be obtained.

Without the system's rewards, no matter how generous the Su family's offer was, it wouldn't attract him in the slightest.

The people from the Su family were just asking casually; they didn't necessarily want him to come.

When it comes to powerful martial artists, the Su family is certainly not lacking.

Lin Ce was unaware of what had happened during the process. Half a month later, he heard that the third villain, Wu Renshi, had finally been caught.

And then, Sihai Prefecture obviously became lively.

Most of these martial artists had received the news and came for the conference to punish evil.

However, some came to pay their respects after hearing that a grandmaster had appeared at Biyue Peak.

The new rankings for Qianqiu Pavilion were updated a few days ago.

Yang Xueqing, the newly appointed peak master of Biyue Peak, was prominently listed, ascending to the Grandmaster Ranking.

In addition, one name on the Qingyun Ranking, which mainly records rising stars, has attracted the attention of some martial arts practitioners.

Lin Ce

Chief Escort of the Sihai Escort Agency in Sanjiang County

[At eighteen, his martial arts realm is suspected to be at the fifth-grade innate level. He survived the aftershocks of a Grandmaster's attack without being suppressed and easily defeated Wu Renshi, one of the Four Evils, known as "Thousand-Faced Impermanence".]

[Later, entrusted by the Su family, he escorted goods to negotiate with the Four Evils, defeated them, and returned with three of them captured.]

...

All of these things are recorded in detail on the list.

Lin Ce only learned about the Qingyun Ranking relatively late.

He never paid much attention to these things. If Su Caiying hadn't sent him a message by falcon, he would have had no idea that he was on the list of Qianqiu Pavilion.

The young men from the escort agency shouted "Wow, Chief Escort!" but Li Qingshan was not in a good mood.

"Hmph, you've made it onto the Azure Cloud Ranking a step ahead of me. Just you wait, I'll be on the list soon too."

Lin Ce asked Shang Shaofeng in a low voice, and only then did he learn that Li Qingshan had been paying attention to this so-called Qingyun Ranking all along.

Unfortunately, he never saw his own name appear on the list; instead, he saw information about Lin Ce, which naturally made him feel somewhat sad.

"I've made up my mind. I'm not taking a break. I'm going to keep going on escort missions. Send me the most difficult ones."

Li Qingshan shook his head, cheered himself up, and decided to throw himself back into his work.

"I will work hard to escort goods and improve my skills. When we meet again, I will be a different person after another experience."

In fact, Li Qingshan had vaguely sensed that after continuously escorting goods, his martial arts skills seemed to have improved significantly compared to before.

He naturally didn't know that this was Lin Ce's "King of Escorts" rewarding him with an even more powerful "United We Stand" effect, and only thought that the experience of escorting goods had transformed him.

Lin Ce naturally wouldn't enlighten him, nor would he discourage his enthusiasm.

"Alright, then you can continue your escort missions. The Four Seas Prefecture is a mixed bag these days, so you need to be extra careful."

With his bodyguards working harder and resting less, what could Lin Ce possibly complain about?

The more frequently he escorts goods, the more system rewards he receives, which is a great thing for him.

"I want to go on a mission too!"

"I want one too!"

...

Li Qingshan's performance clearly spurred others on, and several more bodyguards said they had rested enough and wanted to set off immediately.

Lin Ce nodded in satisfaction.

However, based on each person's different abilities, escort missions of varying difficulty were assigned.

Then, the escort agency suddenly became much quieter again.

Those who were supposed to be escorting goods went out to do so, while Lin Ce, as the chief escort, sat in the escort agency watching the remaining young men practice martial arts every day, living a fulfilling life.

During this period, more and more people were recruited, and the security escort agency's development can be described as booming.

Perhaps soon, we will be able to reach another stage where the system can raise the reward level once again.

And so, time slowly passed, and before they knew it, the day of the extermination conference that the Su family had set for them arrived.

Lin Ce was too lazy to go see it, but his employer, Su Caiying, came to invite him.

Why didn't you let Rose go with you?

"Rose has been busy and hasn't been able to stay with me lately. My family has arranged a caretaker for me, but I don't like having an old caretaker constantly nagging me. So I've come to you for help. After all, I'm your employer and I've been kind to you. You wouldn't refuse to help, would you?"

Unable to persuade her otherwise, Lin Ce had no choice but to leave the escort agency.
