The first place we arrived at was Xining City.
"Squad 009, a total of seven people, three of whom are from the Sea Realm: Captain Huang Yuande, Vice Captain Shan Mei, and member Jiang Liu. The rest are from the River Realm," Lin Qiye said, recounting the intelligence. "Three from the Sea Realm... we should be able to finish this quickly and move on to the next city."
(Note: Except for Cao Yuan, everyone else entered the sea.)
After speaking, Lin Qiye looked at Zhou Ping, who was standing behind Shang Yan, and asked, "Brother Zhou Ping, what do you think?"
Hearing Lin Qiye ask this, Zhou Ping tightened his grip on Shang Yan's hand, "I think... it's fine if you arrange it yourselves."
“That won’t do. You need to go and communicate with them.” Shang Yan stepped aside and pushed Zhou Ping forward. He asked Lin Qiye, “Where is the 009 team’s base?”
Half an hour later, the group stopped in front of the Cainiao Post Station in the old town.
“I never expected that Team 009 would have other tasks as well…” Baili Tuming remarked.
Shang Yan reached out and gave Zhou Ping a push, "Go quickly, go quickly!"
“How should I put it…” Zhou Ping looked back helplessly at Shang Yan, who was pushing him.
"Say hello first, and then state your purpose..." Shang Yan forcefully pushed Zhou Ping into the Cainiao Post Station.
Inside the cramped shop, a middle-aged man who was moving packages looked up when he heard the noise at the door.
“…Hello.” Zhou Ping gave a stiff smile, which looked very kind.
Upon seeing the young man enter, Huang Yuande casually asked, "Hello, I'm Huang Yuande, the courier here. What's your pickup code?"
Zhou Ping's face was tense, and he lowered his head. "I don't have a pickup code."
Huang Yuande was initially puzzled, then continued to ask, "Does that mean sending it by express delivery? Small items weighing less than one kilogram cost 15 yuan, while large items weighing more than one kilogram will incur an additional charge. Moreover, the delivery time for logistics within and outside the province is different. Within the province, it is generally one to three days, while outside the province, it takes three to five days."
He spoke quickly and clearly, and finished his introduction in no time.
Under Huang Yuande's gaze, Zhou Ping slowly spoke, "...I don't send packages."
Huang Yuande: ?
"Then what are you doing here?" he asked, looking at the strange-looking young man in black.
Zhou Ping hesitated for a moment, but quickly replied, "I... am here to cause trouble."
Huang Yuande gave him a look that said, "You're kidding me. I've been in the logistics business for so many years, and this is the first time I've ever seen someone come to the courier station and cause trouble."
"Have times changed? People are getting so brazen about stealing packages now?"
Zhou Ping slowly reached out and covered his face. "I didn't steal the package. I... brought people with me."
"What? You even brought people to steal?" Huang Yuande's expression completely crumbled. He looked at the young man in front of him, shook his head, and sighed, "What kind of people are these..."
"No, I didn't steal the package!" Zhou Ping panicked when he was suddenly accused of a crime.
"I just brought people here... to cause trouble."
After saying this, he stepped aside, exposing Lin Qiye and the others behind him to Huang Yuande's view. "These are the people I brought."
Huang Yuande: ? ? ?
No, are they really going to do this? Are they really going to smash up the delivery station?
Seeing Zhou Ping helplessly covering his face, Shang Yan felt it was about time and stepped forward to block Zhou Ping.
He quickly glanced around the delivery station, then politely asked, "Are you the only one here?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Huang Yuande was a little confused. The next moment, he saw a kind smile on the face of the person standing outside.
He was kidnapped.
Baili Tuming carried the black sack behind them. Lin Qiye turned around after finishing writing a threatening letter. "Alright, the matter is settled."
Zhou Ping watched their series of actions and silently tightened his grip on Shang Yan's hand.
"Won't there be any problems doing this?"
He had never done anything like this before, and now that his eyes were fixed on the black sack on Baili Tuming's back, he couldn't help but feel guilty.
"How could we possibly have a problem? They're the ones with the problem," Shang Yan said seriously. "When his teammates come back and see that their captain isn't here, they'll definitely have a lot of questions."
Zhou Ping:......
Is the problem he mentioned the same problem that Shang Yan mentioned?
But Lin Qiye has taken care of everything, so there shouldn't be any problem... right?
When Huang Yuande woke up, he saw the black-clad youth who had threatened to cause trouble sitting opposite him, with a brown-haired youth next to him smiling at him.
Huang Yuande got goosebumps from his laughter and quickly backed away in fear, asking, "What...what are you going to do?"
Seeing that he had frightened the person, Zhou Ping quickly apologized, "I'm sorry..."
"Sorry, we didn't mean to." Shang Yan smiled at Huang Yuande. "Captain Huang, we actually brought the fifth special team here for training. The mission from above is not to reveal our identities to you, and then to have a friendly spar with you."
He finished speaking in one breath, and even explained the whole story clearly.
After listening, Huang Yuande looked uncertainly at Zhou Ping sitting next to Shang Yan, then his gaze fell on the sword box behind him.
"You are...you are the Sword Saint?"
“Hmm.” Zhou Ping nodded slightly. After seeing the injury on Huang Yuande’s face, he lowered his head even further. “I’m sorry… I actually wanted to have a chat.”
He was really speaking to Huang Yuande very seriously at the time.
Huang Yuande quickly waved his hand, his eyes filled with excitement and admiration, "Not at all, not at all. If I had told you earlier that you were coming, I would have brought my team to pay you a visit long ago. There was no need for such trouble..."
When a middle-aged man addressed him as "you, sir," Zhou Ping's expression stiffened, and he managed a forced, stiff smile.
"Is this the newly crowned Sea God next to you?" Huang Yuande asked excitedly upon seeing the trident floating beside Shang Yan. "Thanks to you..."
Sea God Shangyan blinked.
Actually, that was something he made up himself; he never expected that others would take it seriously.
"Being the sea god is a great thing!" Shang Yan puffed out his chest. "That's right, I am the newly crowned sea god. Poseidon is a thing of the past!"
He seized Poseidon's weapons, so it was only natural that he became the god of the sea.
Huang Yuande nodded quickly, "We owe you and the Sword Saint the favor last time."
The higher-ups had already sent word that the self-proclaimed Sea God, the human ceiling next to the Sword Saint, was mentally unstable. They said one should give way to him and say nice things when they met him, as this Sea God was said to be a "genuine person" who could be happy all day with just a few kind words.
Now that I see it, it's indeed true.
The sounds of fighting came from outside. Huang Yuande touched his face; the bruises from the fight had completely healed.
"Sigh, it looks like my teammates are going to get a really bad beating..."
