Not long after Liu Changqing shouted, a group of people poured out of the office building, led by a middle-aged man wearing a suit and glasses.
Shen Qian could tell at a glance that this person's cultivation level was very low, but those surrounding him were all martial artists with considerable cultivation.
"Changqing, what's going on now?"
Minister Han glanced at Zhao Guangshou and his daughter, who were tied together on the ground like dead dogs, rubbed his temples, and smiled wryly, saying, "If I'm not mistaken, this is Director Zhao of the Martial Law Bureau, and who is this woman?"
"His daughter works for the police force. As for what exactly happened, let my newly accepted disciple tell you."
Liu Changqing gestured for Shen Qian to step forward.
"Minister Han, hello. My name is Shen Qian, and I am a senior high school student at Jingcheng No. 7 Middle School..."
When recounting her experience as a victim for the third time, Shen Qian was quite adept, explaining the whole story clearly in less than ten minutes.
Someone nearby had already turned on a voice recorder and was writing down everything that Chen Qian said.
"That's roughly how it is." Liu Changqing said before Chen Qian finished speaking. "Minister Han, this is finally under your jurisdiction, isn't it? Aren't you in charge of internal oversight?"
"That's what they say, but you can't do it this way procedurally. You've practically kidnapped people here!"
Han Lu said with a bit of a headache.
“Once the procedure is completed, my disciple will be dead.”
Liu Changqing waved his hand, "Extraordinary measures are needed for extraordinary cases. In short, the follow-up is up to you. As for a place like the Martial Arts Bureau, which is full of chaos and disorder, I think we should just demolish it and build a nursing home instead."
Han Lu didn't respond to Liu Changqing's words, but he still sighed and waved his hand, instructing his subordinates to take Zhao Guangshou and his daughter inside first.
Han Lu then smiled and looked at Shen Qian, "This incident is our dereliction of duty. Shen Qian, you've been frightened. I am Han Lu, the head of the Internal Supervision Department of the Martial Arts Bureau. If you need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."
After speaking, Han Lu shook hands with Shen Qian warmly and gave Shen Qian a personal business card.
Shen Qian was quite aware that Han Lu's politeness was mainly due to his relationship with Liu Changqing; otherwise, an ordinary victim would not deserve such treatment from Han Lu.
Liu Changqing rolled his eyes and waited for Shen Qian and Han Lu to exchange a few pleasantries before impatiently interrupting them.
"Alright, that's settled then. Minister Han, you need to give me, your student, a final answer regarding the outcome of this matter. If it's left unresolved, then I'll have to use my own methods to solve the problem."
“My student is injured. I’ll take him back first, and then I’ll bring you some tea leaves that the teacher personally planted.”
Han Lu's eyes lit up, and he smiled and nodded at Liu Changqing's warning, watching Liu Changqing lead Shen Qian into the sky.
"How was it?" After Liu Changqing and the other man disappeared, Han Lu glanced at an elderly man in white who had been silent all along.
The old man knew what Han Lu was asking. After a moment's thought, he shook his head. "There is no fluctuation of vital energy. As for anything else, I can't tell."
"Not a martial artist?" Han Lu was surprised.
He thought the boy Liu Changqing had chosen was at least a beginner martial artist. But with Liu Changqing's discerning eye, how could he have been chosen if he didn't have that much talent?
...
As the Tower of Babel drew ever closer, Chen Qian's heart pounded with emotion.
Yes, it was only at this moment that he realized Liu Changqing's true identity.
Before the sinking, there were only some vague guesses, and the address was given by the system. But now that I think about it, this is the only possibility.
"The area around the Tower of Babel is a no-fly zone; it's a rule set by the teacher."
Liu Changqing landed in the square with Shen Qian, explaining why he hadn't flown in directly.
At the entrance to the first floor of the Tower of Babel, there were two disciples dressed in old-fashioned robes on duty. They respectfully greeted Liu Changqing as "Sixth Senior Brother".
"The Tower of Babel houses thousands of people, including cooks and cleaners, but most of them are students of the Babel Academy, such as the two people who were on duty at the gate just now."
Liu Changqing led Shen Qian inside, while briefly introducing the Tower of Babel.
"Although the academy was founded by the teacher, the teacher does not teach personally; there are four other people in charge of teaching."
"There are only eight students personally taught by the teacher. I am the sixth. Currently, there are also three senior brothers and one junior sister in the Tower of Babel. The other brothers are all in the outside world all year round."
Before reaching the elevator, Liu Changqing pressed the up button.
"We usually don't take the elevator. As for why, you'll understand after the apprenticeship ceremony when you officially become my disciple."
He nodded, somewhat lost in thought.
"You seemed to be lost in thought just now, is something on your mind?" Liu Changqing asked.
"Teacher Liu, there's something I'd like to ask you for help with," Shen Qian said after a moment's hesitation.
He wouldn't feel at ease until he found out the truth.
"What is it? Don't be so polite, just say it."
"Teacher Liu, you're a powerful expert in the Mountain and Sea Realm, right?" Shen Qian asked directly.
Liu Changqing's face stiffened, but he disdained to lie and shook his head, saying, "No."
"Huh?" Shen Qian exclaimed in surprise, "But you can fly..."
"Who said you have to be at the Mountain and Sea Realm to fly?"
Liu Changqing said irritably, "You're not a beginner martial artist either, but do you think someone who just broke through can beat you?"
Chen Qian was speechless, but he also keenly sensed that the topic seemed to have touched a sore spot for Liu Changqing, so he wisely did not ask any further questions.
Seeing Chen Qian remain silent, Liu Changqing asked suspiciously, "You seem very disappointed. What, do you think I'm not qualified to teach you just because I'm not from the Mountain and Sea Realm?"
