"team leader??!!"
"Chi Chen!!"
Chen Sheng and Lin Bai were stunned by the sudden scene.
The two entered the arena, and Chen Sheng gave Zhang Rong a strange look.
Those punches just now were more powerful than those of the Solid Mirror Realm. As a captain, was it really necessary for you to take Chi Chen so seriously?
"Cough cough! I couldn't stop, I couldn't stop!"
Zhang Rong looked at the unconscious Chi Chen and felt slightly embarrassed. He thought that Chi Chen would retreat immediately after sensing the danger, but he did not expect this kid to be so brave.
Zhang Rong subtly shook her aching arm, gave Chi Chen a deep look, and muttered something to herself.
"This kid is a fucking genius! Did he buy some kind of cheat code from God?!"
Lin Bai looked at Chi Chen, who was lying unconscious on the ground, shook his head, and said with a hint of helplessness:
"Chi Chen, tell me, you can be ruthless to anyone, why did you go and provoke him? Didn't you get beaten up enough in the past two months? Serves you right for being so arrogant just now. Now look what happened. Learn from me and be more low-key. Look at me, have I told everyone about the taboo of 010?"
Zhang Rong: "..."
Chen Sheng: "..."
You haven't been telling everyone, but we're all tired of hearing it!
...
Five days later, in front of the fried chicken shop, Chi Chen and Lin Bai each carried a suitcase, while Zhang Rong was at the door giving Chen Sheng and Qing Sheng some instructions.
Today, Chi Chen and Lin Bai, led by Zhang Rong, will embark on their journey to Shangjing District.
The original time was two days ago. The reason for the delay was naturally the battle between Chi Chen and Zhang Rong five days ago.
Zhang Rong's final punch not only caused Chi Chen to vomit blood and faint, but also inflicted some internal injuries on him.
Chi Chen felt depressed whenever he thought about this; the captain was really ruthless.
What frustrated Chi Chen the most was that he thought he could at least make Zhang Rong suffer a little loss with his heaven-defying Divine Forbidden Battle Saint Intent, but he didn't expect that he would be KO'd by Zhang Rong in one move.
"Just how strong is the captain?!"
Looking at Zhang Rong's tall figure, Chi Chen couldn't help but speculate.
But in fact, not only him, even veteran team members like Xiang Qing were not quite clear about just how terrifying their captain's strength was.
Because in this chaotic region, they had never seen Zhang Rong truly take a mysterious beast seriously. Even when Zhang Rong fought a mysterious beast at the Ascension Realm, he killed it with a single strike.
Apart from Chen Sheng, who was at the Ascension Realm, the other members of the Luan Ning District were all at the peak of the Solid Realm.
"That's the general arrangement. After those three guys return in a couple of days, you can handle the follow-up matters yourself, Mr. Chen. During my absence, I hope you can protect Luan Ning District well! If there are any mysteries that you can't solve, notify me immediately! Or request support from the surrounding areas!"
After making some arrangements, Zhang Rong turned to look at Chi Chen and the other person.
Let's go!
"Chi Chen, Lin Bai, you'd better do your best for our Green Face Team during rookie training! Teach those arrogant guys from Shangjing District a lesson! It would be best if you could bring back the Rookie of the Year award!"
Qingsheng stood at the door, smiling and waving goodbye to the two of them. Chen Sheng also gave him a thumbs-up.
"New King?"
Chi Chen and Lin Bai exchanged a glance, and then waved goodbye to Qing Sheng and Chen Sheng.
...
After a four-hour flight, outside the largest airport in the Shangjing District, Chi Chen and Lin Bai stared blankly at the countless towering buildings that seemed to reach into the clouds.
Is this Kamijyo Ward?
The two took a deep breath; the air here seemed to be filled with the scent of luxury.
As Zhang Rong looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar scene before him, a hint of sadness and anger flashed in his eyes that Chi Chen and Lin Bai did not notice.
The three of them had been standing outside the airport for no more than ten minutes when a long, black luxury car pulled up steadily in front of them to Chi Chen and Lin Bai's surprise.
The car door opened, and a handsome man in a suit and tie stepped out.
"Captain Zhang, is that really you?"
When the man in the suit saw Zhang Rong, even though he had received prior notice, he still looked at the man standing in front of him with some disbelief.
Ignoring the man in the suit's shock, Zhang Rong turned to Chi Chen and Lin Bai and introduced them:
"This man is Xiang Kun, Xiang Qing's older brother. If you need anything in Shangjing District in the future, you can look for him!"
Chi Chen and Lin Bai looked at the handsome man in front of them and could vaguely see some resemblance between him and Xiang Qing in his eyebrows and eyes.
Just thinking about Xiang Qing's somewhat unreliable personality gave Chi Chen and Lin Bai a headache. During this time, they had been teased by Xiang Qing quite a bit.
After introducing Xiang Qing, Zhang Rong then introduced Chi Chen and Lin Bai to Xiang Qing.
"Hello, my sister must give you a lot of headaches!"
Xiang Kun smiled at the two of them.
Upon hearing this, Chi Chen and Lin Bai didn't know how to respond, so they simply smiled and greeted each other.
"Captain Zhang, shouldn't you give my sister a break? She hasn't been back for over a year, and the old man at home misses her terribly. He takes his anger out on me whenever he's upset, making it seem like I'm the one preventing Xiang Qing from coming home!"
Xiang Kun looked at Zhang Rong with a hint of helplessness.
Zhang Rong glanced at Xiang Kun, as if to say, "What does it have to do with me if you're being mistreated? It's not like I'm the one being mistreated."
Seeing this, Xiang Kun could only smile helplessly.
"Alright, I'll have her come back this year. You two go with Xiang Kun first!"
However, Zhang Rong still agreed, since Xiang Qing hadn't been back to the capital for a long time.
"Captain, aren't you coming with us?"
Upon hearing this, Chi Chen looked at Zhang Rong with some confusion.
Zhang Rong nodded and said:
"Yes, I haven't been back to the capital for a long time. Although I'm reluctant, I have to go to the headquarters of the Secret Bureau to handle some matters!"
Upon hearing this, Chi Chen and Lin Bai said no more and got into the car with Xiang Kun.
"Captain Zhang, come to my house sometime. The old man would really like to meet you!"
On the way, Xiang Kun invited Zhang Rong to visit his home.
However, Zhang Rong did not respond and simply turned and left.
Going home? What for?
Should I go find that arrogant old man and get yelled at?
When Xiang Qing followed him away from the capital, the old man almost chased him for eight blocks with his cane.
But the other party happens to be Xiang Qing's grandfather, so he can't very well hit him, can he?
Besides, Zhang Rong wasn't interested in beating up an old man, even though that old man was quite ruthless when he got angry.
"There are still five days until the new recruit training. You can stay at my house for now. Just let me know if you need anything!"
As the vehicle started moving, Xiang Kun greeted the two men and then took out a tablet to start working on his business.
In fact, if he hadn't received the news that Zhang Rong was leading a team to Shangjing District to pick up Chi Chen and Lin Bai, it wouldn't have been him at all.
Chi Chen and Lin Bai sat in comfortable leather seats, looking somewhat reservedly at the skyscrapers flashing by outside the car window.
For teenagers like them who grew up in the slums of Luanning District, the most luxurious sight they had ever seen was the wealthy area in the east. However, compared to Shangjing District, even the eastern part of Luanning District was like a rural-urban fringe.
Half an hour later, the luxury car drove into an extremely large estate.
Chi Chen and Lin Bai were once again shocked by the scene before them, even though they had already guessed from the car and Xiang Kun's attire that his family must be very rich.
At this moment, Chi Chen and Lin Bai still felt that poverty had limited their imagination. Xiang Qing's family was actually this rich.
In the Shangjing District, where land is incredibly valuable, the Xiang family must be extremely wealthy to own such a massive estate!
Chi Chen and Lin Bai felt like country bumpkins visiting the Grand View Garden.
"Gentlemen, this is your guest room. Please feel free to call me if you need anything! If you would like to tour the manor, please let me know in advance. Some areas of the manor are private and heavily guarded, so please understand."
In a lavishly decorated room, resembling the residence of ancient royalty, a steward from the manor gave the two some instructions before leaving.
"Damn, the cost of this room alone could buy a house in the eastern part of Luan Ning District!"
After the housekeeper left, Lin Bai finally couldn't hold back any longer. He jumped around the room like a country bumpkin, touching everything in sight.
Although Chi Chen wasn't as exaggerated as Lin Bai, he still sighed that the world of the rich was beyond their imagination.
