Chapter 368: Unintentional Exposure

In the following day, all the teams that had made appointments with "Summer Chasing Smoke" arrived one after another.

Just as previously speculated, as the only two A-level teams among the hired teams, "Jinlongyuge" and "Iron Rose" were the last to arrive.

By the time they arrived at the camp on the tenth floor, it was almost night.

According to the agreement, they had to meet on the tenth floor on the seventh day. These two A-level teams were late in arriving, and if they had arrived any later, there might have been no one waiting for them.

The leaders of the two teams seemed to understand this truth as well. Therefore, as soon as they arrived at the camp, the leader and deputy leader did not even take a rest, but went directly to the big tent in the center of the camp to meet Xu Xiayan, while the rest of the people were arranged to rest.

The people from "Azure Mercury" also rested for almost half a day before they received a report from a member of the "Summer Chasing Smoke" team.

"Please ask the team leader and deputy leader to go to the central tent for a meeting."

Upon hearing this announcement, Su Ming and Chi Qian immediately looked at each other and stood up.

"Captain."

"Sister Qianqian."

Mu Yan, Feng Qing'er and Tong Xinyao also stood up subconsciously.

Su Ming looked at everyone.

"Wait for us here."

Su Ming smiled at everyone.

"It's okay." Chi Qian also said: "Captain Xu should be preparing to formally explain the details of this mission to us. He will tell you when he comes back."

That's how it is.

Because this matter is of great importance and involves the future of the base city itself, it is indeed very important to keep a secret for a mission of the SS level so as not to cause unnecessary panic and anxiety.

Thanks to this, until now, Su Ming and others still don’t know the details of this SS-level mission.

Now, it's time to reveal it.

If the secret is not revealed, there is no way to continue this mission.

Mu Yan and the others naturally understood this matter, and said nothing, but just sat down again.

"Wait until we come back."

After saying this, Su Mingze was the first to walk out of the tent.

Chi Qian followed without saying a word.

Led by the informant, the two came to the large tent in the center of the camp and entered.

The space inside was very spacious, and a large wooden table that seemed to have just been made had been placed in place of the conference table. It was circular and located in the center.

The seats were neatly arranged around the round table, and quite a few people were already sitting there.

The team leaders and deputy team leaders arrived one by one, sat around the round table, whispering to each other while waiting for the meeting to begin.

Among them, Xu Xiayan and Wang Di were also present and sat in the main seats in the innermost part.

It is worth mentioning that among the people present, it seemed that only the group leader had a seat, while the deputy group leader stood next to the group leader like the most loyal follower.

Like Wang Di, he stood next to Xu Xiayan who was sitting in the main seat, but his attitude was not very respectful, but mostly admiring.

Former representatives of "Jinlongyuge" and "Iron Rose", as well as deputy group leaders Qiao Zhi and Zhu Yun, were also standing.

Qiao Zhi was standing next to a middle-aged man who looked at least 90% similar to him, and one could tell at a glance that the two were twins.

Although the man is at least 90% similar to Qiao Zhi, unlike Qiao Zhi who has the temperament of a young master, he has a calm and steady expression, dark and deep eyes, and seems quite unfathomable.

Qiao Zhi, who was standing next to the man, also looked timid and as if he was somewhat afraid of the other person. Compared with the way he had been looking for trouble with Su Ming in front of him before, he was simply not the same person.

"That's the leader of the Jinlongyu Pavilion, the eldest brother of the Qiao brothers, Qiao Liang?"

Su Ming looked at the other person for a while.

It can be clearly seen that the other party is indeed much more capable than Qiao Zhi, and his momentum alone is beyond Qiao Zhi's reach.

The other party is also the only six-star professional in the "Jinlong Yuge". He leads a large number of senior professionals, which makes him exude a faint aura of a superior.

Su Ming's spiritual perception told him that Qiao Liang was no simple person.

"In terms of strength alone, this Qiao Liang may be better than Xu Xiayan and Chi Qian."

Su Ming had this realization.

As for Zhu Yun of the "Iron Rose", this branch of the Zhu family who was said to regard Chi Qian as a competitor, was also standing respectfully beside someone at this moment.

The person had fair skin, beautiful looks, and an extremely tall figure, like a model. Not only did she have a pair of extremely long legs, but her height was also the tallest among all the women present, at least 177 cm.

Her height was even taller than some of the men present, which made many of them afraid to sit next to her.

In addition, the other party had an expressionless look on her face, exuding a faint coldness, giving a feeling of keeping people at a distance and seeming difficult to get along with. Many people present did not even dare to look at her, making her one of the people with the strongest presence in the whole audience.

"That's the leader of the Iron Rose, the eldest daughter of the Zhu family, Zhu Qian."

On the side, Chi Qian's low hum slowly reached Su Ming's ears, as if he was talking to himself.

Obviously, Chi Qian also noticed Zhu Qian.

He is a six-star professional like her, and both of them are leaders of teams that only recruit female professionals, so they have a lot in common.

The difference is that Chi Qian rose to prominence through his own hard work, while Zhu Qian has a huge backer. She learned directly from her grandfather, who was the top of the family, and is a genius who grew up under the guidance of a seven-star professional.

Xu Xiayan said that in terms of the level of combat skills alone, Zhu Qian was the strongest in the entire field, and even the strongest combat skills expert in the entire Tianfeng City except for the seven-star professionals.

If Qiao Liang gave people the feeling of being unfathomable, then Zhu Qian gave people the feeling of being visibly powerful. Just being in the same space with her gave one a sense of being intimidated by her.

"This person is very likely stronger than Xu Xiayan and Chi Qian."

Su Ming sighed silently in his heart.

There's no way. Chi Qian is a six-star professional who was just promoted not long ago, and Xu Xiayan has only been successfully promoted for about a year. It's normal that he can't catch up with these two.

Especially Qiao Liang, who is nearly forty years old and the oldest among the six-star professionals. He is also a veteran six-star professional who has been promoted for many years. It is understandable that he is stronger than Chi Qian, Xu Xiayan, Zhu Qian and others.

Of course, "you can't threaten me yet."

Su Ming raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and walked in with Chi Qian.

While Su Ming was observing the people in the field, the people in the field were also observing him.

"Is that the leader of 'Azure Mercury', the rumored rookie warlock?"

"Sure enough, you're a little too young."

"Judging from her appearance, she is not even 20 years old, right?"

"Probably among all the people in the audience, he is the only one who is a low-level professional."

Many team leaders and deputy team leaders were observing Su Ming, some had curiosity in their eyes, some had disdain in their eyes, and some even couldn't help showing jealousy when they saw Chi Qian, the famous female legend, following them closely.

"Brother, that's him."

Qiao Zhi also lowered his voice and said the same thing to Qiao Liang.

"Miss, he is Su Ming."

Zhu Yun was also talking to Zhu Qian.

This made both of them focus their attention on Su Ming.

"A new warlock?"

Qiao Liang narrowed his eyes.

"Su Ming."

Zhu Qian frowned, not knowing what she was thinking.

Even Xu Xiayan was staring at Su Ming, who looked calm, and muttered to herself.

"This little brother is really hiding his strength."

Xu Xiayan finally confirmed this.

Although both Xu Qianqian and Chi Qian had told her this before, Xu Xiayan had never seen Su Ming demonstrate his strength with her own eyes, so she could only be skeptical.

Now, she no longer doubts.

The reason is simple.

"The demonic nature of the tenth floor is so strong that even ordinary professionals cannot withstand it."

Just like what was said before, if one's strength is not at the three-star level, even if they are professionals, when they come here, they will probably become insane under the influence of the devil.

Even if it has reached the three-star level, it is still somewhat dangerous.

The people from "Summer Chasing Smoke" had already arrived at the tenth floor in advance and stayed here for at least a day and a night, so Xu Xiayan knew very well how much influence the evil here had on humans.

In "Summer Chasing Smoke", even some three-star professionals with weak strength, after coming to the tenth floor and staying there for a day and a night, seemed to have become a little impulsive and irritable. It was obvious that their spirit was affected, so they were forced by Xu Xiayan to rest and were not allowed to participate in the next action.

What about Su Ming? He looked calm and composed, even quite relaxed.

What does this mean? It means that this kid's strength is impossible to be just one star as recorded in the records.

"This kid must have at least three-star strength, or even be the best among the three-stars."

Otherwise, Su Ming wouldn't be able to look so relaxed.

What's worse, this kid might be more than just a low-level professional.

"An eighteen-year-old senior professional?"

Xu Xiayan couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm looking forward to this kid's performance."

While thinking this, Xu Xiayan looked at Qiao Liang and Zhu Qian.

Seeing that the only two people in the whole venue who were clearly stronger than him were both staring at Su Ming, Xu Xiayan knew that these two people must have noticed Su Ming's concealment.

If they hadn't noticed such an obvious abnormality, these two people wouldn't be sitting where they are today.

“This is where things get interesting.”

Xu Xiayan smiled sweetly.

Su Ming, not knowing that he had exposed some of his secrets, took Chi Qian to an empty seat and sat down under the gazes of many people.

Chi Qian stood beside Su Ming, like a beautiful bodyguard, so cool.

Afterwards, more people arrived here one after another.

Xu Xiayan stood up only after all the seats were filled.
