"Qiu Yun, what happened?"
Ye Lin and Xiang Ming walked past Chi Chen and the other two into the crowd, and asked with furrowed brows.
"Captain! Young Master Ming!"
Upon seeing the two, more than a dozen security personnel immediately saluted, and Liu Feng and the man named Qiu Ming also immediately stood up despite the pain.
"Captain, these two new recruits came to the training room for the first time today, and their attitude was extremely arrogant. They didn't take us seriously at all, so we wanted to teach them what it means to respect their seniors!"
Qiu Ming spoke first, but he was the one who accused Chi Chen and Lin Bai first.
Upon hearing this, the others naturally refrained from exposing Qiu Yun's lie.
Liu Feng further embellished the story, saying:
"Captain, you have to stop us! These two kids, relying on their skills, attacked me without saying a word. Qiu Ming couldn't stand it anymore and tried to stop them, but he was also attacked by the two of them!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lin glanced at the two men with grim expressions and the dozen or so people behind them who remained silent, and he had a general idea of what was going on.
Doesn't the team leader know who Qiu Ming and Liu Feng are?
These two must have wanted to teach those two unfamiliar teenagers a lesson, but they didn't expect to run into a brick wall. They ended up getting themselves into trouble instead of getting what they wanted.
However, since they were his own people, and Xiang Ming was also present, Ye Lin naturally wouldn't expose them and would side with Chi Chen and Lin Bai.
"Those two good-for-nothings!"
Ye Lin glanced at the two of them, cursing inwardly, then turned to Chi Chen and Lin Bai, his expression somewhat unpleasant, and said:
"Where did you two come from? Which captain's new recruits are you? What are you doing in our team's training room! And you even dared to injure my people?"
Upon seeing this, Chi Chen and Lin Bai frowned. These people were indeed birds of a feather. Why didn't the captain ask them what the situation was?
Did they just blindly believe what those people said and define the matter?
Judging from his posture, does he still want to make a move?
"Hehe, Ye Lin, no rush, let's hear what they have to say first!"
The next moment, Xiang Ming spoke with a smile. Even though he was young, he was born into the Xiang family and could easily see through the shady dealings between Qiu Yun and the others.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Yun, Liu Feng, and the others' expressions instantly darkened.
Upon hearing this, Ye Lin's expression changed, and he hurriedly tried to speak again, but Xiang Ming waved his hand to interrupt him.
Ye Lin could only laugh awkwardly and stand behind Xiang Ming. After all, Xiang Ming had already spoken, so there was no room for him to say anything.
Xiang Ming looked at Chi Chen and Lin Bai and asked:
"Which squad are you from? I'm Xiang Ming. What do you have to say about this?"
Seeing this, Chi Chen's expression relaxed. At least there was someone reasonable, and a member of the Xiang family's main branch. He shouldn't be like these security personnel.
Then Chi Chen first briefly introduced himself and Lin Bai, and then told the whole story without embellishing it at all.
"Oh? I see. You guys were brought back by Brother Kun?"
Upon hearing this, Xiang Ming glanced at Chi Chen and Lin Bai with some surprise. People that Xiang Kun personally brought back must not be ordinary.
Considering the upcoming training camp for new recruits of the Secret Bureau, Xiang Ming had a general idea in mind.
Although the main branch of the Xiang family is in the capital, there are also many members of the Xiang family in other regions. At this moment, Xiang Ming naturally thought that Chi Chen and Lin Bai were newcomers of the Zhanmi Bureau from other regions and belonged to the Xiang family camp.
However, Xiang Ming was still slightly puzzled. Even so, it shouldn't be worth Xiang Kun personally going to pick him up and bring him back.
Xiang Ming temporarily suppressed his thoughts, turned to Ye Lin, and said with a smile:
"So, Captain Ye, who do you think is telling the truth?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lin felt a headache coming on, and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.
He had previously thought of protecting Qiu Yun and Liu Feng, but now he just wanted to punch them both away.
How could they cause trouble without even figuring out who these two people were?
This was brought back personally by Young Master Xiang Kun. Even if it's just an ordinary person, how could you possibly mess with them?
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
Ye Lin grew angrier the more he thought about it, and he actually slapped Qiu Yun and Liu Feng across the face, making the people behind them jump in surprise.
Qiu Yun and Liu Feng were beaten even more, their faces flushed red, and they felt even more aggrieved. How could they have imagined that Chi Chen and Lin Bai were brought back by Xiang Kun?
Why can't you just be proper guests? What are you doing wandering around this training room?!
After Ye Lin finished fighting the two men, he immediately turned to Xiang Ming and whispered:
"Young Master Ming, it's my fault for not disciplining them properly. I'll deal with these two pieces of trash properly later, so they won't offend your eyes now!"
Then Ye Lin looked at Chi Chen and Lin Bai, and said a sincere apology to them.
Ye Lin immediately shifted the blame to Qiu Yun and Liu Feng, extricating himself from the situation as if he hadn't been the one questioning Chi Chen and Lin Bai earlier.
Seeing this, Xiang Ming spoke up at the opportune moment:
"Alright, that's enough. From now on, discipline your people properly."
Xiang Ming naturally wouldn't make things difficult for Ye Lin because of this. Although Chi Chen and Lin Bai were brought back by Xiang Kun, Ye Lin was his man, and Xiang Ming certainly wouldn't punish his own people for the sake of two outsiders.
"Yes, yes, Young Master Ming, don't worry!"
Ye Lin also went down the steps and quickly agreed.
Seeing this, Chi Chen and Lin Bai didn't say anything more. They reiterated that this was the Xiang family home, and they were just outsiders. Since everyone else had done this, if they continued to insist, it would be disrespectful to the Xiang family.
Although Chi Chen and Lin Bai haven't experienced much of the ways of the world, they can still understand this point.
However, given what happened, their practice session today is definitely not going to work.
After greeting Xiang Ming, Chi Chen and Lin Bai turned to leave.
But Xiang Ming suddenly called out to them.
"You've come from another region to the capital to participate in the new recruit training camp of the Secret Service Bureau, right?"
Upon hearing this, Chi Chen and Lin Bai stopped and responded.
"Why is Xiang Ming suddenly asking this?"
Both Chi Chen and Lin Bai were filled with doubt.
When Liu Feng and Qiu Ming heard Chi Chen's answer, they trembled.
They were actually newcomers to the Secret Bureau?
No wonder he was so powerful; he took care of himself in one move.
What puzzled Qiu Ming was that he hadn't sensed any fluctuations in Lin Bai's mental power when he was knocked out earlier.
Little did he know that he was completely unqualified to allow Lin Bai to activate his spiritual power, let alone use forbidden techniques.
Xiang Ming's smile widened as he received confirmation, and he continued:
"May I ask, what realm are you at now? A guiding light?"
Xiang Ming looked at the two of them and knew that Chi Chen and Lin Bai were not much older than him. In other regions, people of this age would generally be at this level.
Because generally, those who awaken forbidden abilities usually do so at the earliest by the age of sixteen. This is an ironclad rule that people have discovered over the past three hundred years, and to this day, no one under the age of sixteen has been found to have awakened such abilities.
Upon hearing this, Chi Chen and Lin Bai didn't think there was anything to hide about their cultivation levels. Judging from the other party's tone, it was clear that he was also a forbidden ability user.
Chi Chen answered:
"We're both Lightbearers, is there a problem?"
"Both are Radiant?"
Upon hearing this, Xiang Ming paused for a moment, then a strange light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Ye Lin was even more astonished. He had known that he was already in his thirties and was only at the Radiant Realm.
Chi Chen and Lin Bai are also Yaoguang, which means they are the same kind of people as Xiang Ming beside him, namely geniuses.
The thought that he had almost offended these people because of Qiu Yun and Liu Feng made Ye Lin angry again, and he turned around and glared at the two of them fiercely.
Seeing this, Qiu Yun and Liu Feng's expressions turned even uglier. They knew they were in for a beating.
After a moment of surprise, Xiang Ming spoke:
"No problem, but may I make a more outrageous request? Would you like to have a match with me?"
Chi Chen and Lin Bai were also somewhat surprised to hear this.
Why do we still need to fight?
However, neither of them could see any desire for revenge on Xiang Ming's face; it seemed they just wanted to have a simple fight with him.
Seeing that the two remained silent, Xiang Ming spoke again:
"Aren't you going to participate in the new recruit training camp of the Secret Slayer Bureau? Then we might become rivals later on. I'm also at the Radiant Light Realm. How about it? This will give you a chance to learn about the strength of the Upper Capital District. Don't you want to give it a try first?"
Upon hearing this, Chi Chen and Lin Bai were also somewhat tempted. To be honest, they had never actually fought against a forbidden ability user of the same level before, so this was a good opportunity to learn about them in advance.
"I……"
"I'll do it this time."
Lin Bai was about to agree, but Chi Chen pulled him back. Lin Bai glanced at Chi Chen, pouted, and decided to give it to Chi Chen.
However, Lin Bai looked at Xiang Ming with some sympathy. Although he didn't know how strong Xiang Ming was, Lin Bai believed that Chi Chen could definitely overpower Xiang Ming.
If you ask Lin Bai why, he'll only reply with one sentence: "Because he's my brother. If he's not awesome, who is?"
Chi Chen stepped forward and looked at Xiang Ming.
The reason Chi Chen didn't let Lin Bai go was not because he was afraid Lin Bai was no match for Xiang Ming, but because Lin Bai's forbidden ability had too wide a range. What if he couldn't control it and blew up the whole training room?
If Xiang Ming gets seriously injured in the explosion, then things will really get serious!
When Xiang Ming saw Chi Chen come out, he didn't say much. It didn't matter who came first. He could just defeat one first and then the other. At this moment, Xiang Ming's pride, which came from his bones, was on full display, as he had grown up in a large family in Shangjing District.
Xiang Ming gestured for the others to step aside, leaving enough space for himself and Chi Chen.
"Chi Chen, right? You'd better go all out later, or you'll get hurt. I won't hold back; otherwise, it'll be pointless!"
Xiang Ming tossed a long wooden knife to Chi Chen, and held one in his own hand as well. These were the ones Qiu Yun and the others used when sparring.
He and Chi Chen were just having a fight; there was no need to use their real weapons. After all, Xiang Ming was afraid that he might accidentally cripple Chi Chen, which would make it easier to explain to Xiang Kun.
"Using your full strength?"
Chi Chen caught the long sword, and looked at Xiang Ming with a strange expression. It would be bad if he broke it.
Both men were confident in their abilities, one with the advantage of their powerful family background, and the other with the confidence gained through hard-fought battles.
"Then, let's begin!"
Suddenly, Xiang Ming parted his lips slightly and moved his body instantly.
Chi Chen also rushed out with his long sword the moment Xiang Ming finished speaking, but he did not use his full speed.
Why did you start releasing water right away?
Seeing this, Lin Bai muttered to himself, knowing exactly how fast Chi Chen was.
"Bang! Bang!"
The two specially made wooden swords collided in mid-air, producing a crisp sound.
"Your speed and strength are both good, but I wonder about your forbidden abilities?"
After exchanging more than ten blows in an instant, Xiang Ming's lips curled up, seemingly satisfied with Chi Chen's performance.
Upon hearing this, Chi Chen's lips twitched involuntarily, but he didn't say anything more. He simply turned around and slashed at Xiang Ming with his sword again.
Xiang Ming swung his sword as well, and the two wooden swords clashed precisely in another strike.
"You're unwilling to activate your forbidden ability first? Then I'll do it!"
Xiang Ming was unwilling to fight Chi Chen like this, so he pulled back and a stronger spiritual power surged out instantly.
"Night ghost!"
Behind Xiang Ming, a phantom of a night ghost appeared, and a chilling aura, seemingly from hell, instantly surged from his body. The night ghost's eyes were also like the eyes of hell, staring at Chi Chen.
Ye Lin and the others felt the aura emanating from Xiang Ming and couldn't help but shiver, instantly retreating more than ten meters.
"The Night Demon of Sequence 031?"
Chi Chen looked at the ghost behind Xiang Ming and showed a hint of surprise. Xiang Ming's forbidden ability was quite impressive.
"Hehe, come on, let me see your taboo!"
After Xiang Ming unleashed the Night Demon technique, he seemed to undergo a sinister transformation, and his speech even began to sound somewhat eerie.
Xiang Ming suddenly charged forward, and the Night Demon behind him silently disappeared as if it had vanished.
As the wooden sword slashed down, Chi Chen dodged to the side, but the next second, the Night Demon appeared out of nowhere from the direction he had dodged, a blade of void radiating a chilling aura that seemed to emanate from the depths of hell as it slashed toward Chi Chen's arm.
"It seems we have no choice but to fight the Holy Will?"
Seeing this, Chi Chen felt somewhat helpless. Indeed, one should not underestimate others.
Xiang Ming's strength is not weak. Although Chi Chen felt he could withstand Xiang Ming's Night Ghost even without activating his Battle Saint Intent, he didn't like the feeling of being suppressed by others.
The next second, a circular field instantly enveloped the nearby Night Demon and Xiang Ming.
"What kind of taboo is this?!"
The moment the Battle Saintly Intent appeared, Xiang Ming's expression changed drastically. The sudden appearance of boundless battle intent made him somewhat unsettled.
But when he looked at Chi Chen again, he saw the arrogance on Chi Chen's face and the deep disdain for him!
