Inside the escort agency, Lin Ce looked at the newcomer.
The man stood in the Sihai Escort Agency, like a solitary peak, casting a scrutinizing gaze from above.
Lin Ce couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.
There are many martial artists like this in the martial arts world.
They're nothing more than old guys who are arrogant about their own strength or seniority and unwilling to lower themselves in front of younger people.
The man in front of me looked to be around fifty years old, and was clearly one of those people.
"What brings you here, Venerable Xiang?"
Su Caiying, standing beside Lin Ce, was suddenly startled.
She knew her Chief Escort Lin's personality very well and was worried that something might happen, so she quickly began to introduce him.
"Chief镖头 Lin, this is the family's retainer, Xiang. He has profound martial arts cultivation and is estimated to reach the level of a grandmaster within the next two years. This is a family secret, and I don't usually tell it to others."
Su Caiying deliberately pointed out the power of the worshipper in front of her, naturally because she did not want Lin Ce to have a conflict with him.
"Why wait two years? It's just one step away. Maybe when I step out the door, I'll have a sudden inspiration and break through."
"Yes, yes, Caiying is not a martial artist, so she doesn't really know much about it."
Su Caiying adopted a very humble attitude, giving the other party ample face.
"What about that little girl next to you? I heard she was seriously injured this time?"
Xiang Shang gave a cold laugh and snorted:
"I told you long ago that the Seventh Miss should have a stronger elder by her side. It's fine if this little girl with little ability dies, but if she is not properly protected and the young lady gets hurt, then it would be an unforgivable crime."
"You're joking with the worshipper."
Su Caiying's expression turned slightly cold as she slowly said, "Rose was injured while protecting me this time, but despite this, she has also benefited from the misfortune. It is said that her martial arts level will be able to advance to a higher level in a short period of time."
"They only have this much skill to begin with, how much higher can they go?"
Xiang Feng shook his head. "After I go back this time, I will suggest it to the head of the family. Nowadays, the petty villains in the martial arts world are becoming rampant and dare to reach out to the Su family. Miss needs someone who can be of use by her side."
As he spoke, his gaze fell on Lin Ce, who was standing to the side.
“Let’s go, take me out to sea to find the ‘Thousand-Faced Impermanence’ and see if Fifth Young Master is really trapped in the ‘Sea Abyss’.”
However, Lin Ce remained seated and did not move.
"What, do I have to treat you?"
Xiang's expression turned cold.
Lin Ce merely glanced at him indifferently.
“I told you to give him five days. Now just wait. If you can’t wait, you can go out to sea by yourself. There’s no need to drag me along.”
"you……"
Xiang Gongfeng's expression changed. "You took on the Su family's escort mission, and this is how you do things? If that's really the case, I think you don't need to be the head of the escort agency anymore."
"To offer sacrifices..."
Su Caiying frowned.
Lin Ce had already started to sneer.
"What a magnificent sight! Anyone who didn't know better would think that Xiang Gongfeng wasn't even a Xiantian (innate level) cultivator, but rather a Grandmaster."
"Hmph, how can I be compared to ordinary innate masters? Calling myself a half-step grandmaster is well-deserved."
The worshipper stared coldly at Lin Ce and said:
"Whether you like it or not, get out of here today. Don't make things difficult for me, or else..."
"Otherwise what?"
"Otherwise, you should know that even among those at the innate level, there are vast differences in strength."
The threat was clearly evident in his words.
"Really? I'd like to see that for myself."
Lin Ce laughed angrily and stood up.
"Chief镖师 Lin, wait a moment."
Su Caiying stopped Lin Ce and asked the offering in front of her:
"Is this your idea, or Father's?"
Is there any difference?
Xiang Gongfeng smiled calmly, "When I'm out on business, I naturally have the right to make my own decisions."
Then, ignoring Su Caiying in front of him, he took a step forward and went to the training ground.
"Come on, let's resolve this quickly so we can face reality, and then take me there."
It must be said that his confidence was among the highest of all the martial artists Lin Ce had ever seen.
Lin Ce glanced at Su Caiying and shrugged.
"Boss, if I said I wanted to take him down, would you have a problem with that?"
"..."
Su Caiying fell silent for a moment, then gritted her teeth fiercely.
"Fight! Fight them to death!"
Having received instructions from his employer, Su Caiying, Lin Ce naturally had no reason to hesitate.
With a flash, he arrived at the training ground.
Xiang Gongfeng looked at Lin Ce in front of him and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Your lightness skill is quite good. For a young man, you are excellent. No wonder you are so arrogant. But after today, you will understand that it is not a good thing for a young man to be too proud."
"Enough with the nonsense, let's get started."
Lin Ce rolled his eyes, too lazy to argue with the other party anymore, and charged forward.
They still used the same method they used to defeat the Four Evils.
After numerous battles, he discovered that his flawless body was most effective against fourth-rank martial artists who possessed artistic conception.
The worshipper clearly doesn't understand these things.
Standing on the training ground, he was quite proud of himself and said in a slow, melodious voice:
"Watch closely, young man, my martial arts essence is..."
However, the young man in front of him didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and had already rushed up to him.
He gave the offering a cold smile.
Having immersed himself in martial arts for many years, how could he be defeated by a mere offensive tactic?
His own martial arts intent was extremely unique, and it had already been unfolded at the very moment the battle began.
"My artistic conception... is probably not much different from that of a Grandmaster's exterior scene."
With this thought in his heart, he thrust out a palm, and the entire training ground was filled with an overwhelming gale.
In such a turbulent atmosphere, even if the opponent makes the first move, so what?
Ultimately, they could only be trapped in the raging winds, unable to move an inch.
"Huh?"
The next moment, he realized that something was wrong.
Before him, a figure seemed to completely ignore the obstruction of the gale and continued to approach rapidly.
Even faster than the figure was a fist.
"Boom!"
The fist slammed into Xiang's palm, and his entire arm bone seemed about to shatter.
At the same time, a tremendous force struck him, and he felt as if he had been electrocuted. He couldn't even stand still and was sent flying backward, crashing to the ground.
As for his so-called "whirlwind artistic conception" that he was so proud of, it didn't have any effect at all. In front of the opponent, it was probably just like a gentle breeze.
"Why did you lie down like that, Xiang Gongfeng? Why don't you stand up and fight again?"
A light, airy voice entered his ears at that moment.
Enraged, Xiang was about to rise and fight again.
He decided that this time he would go all out and not hold back in the slightest.
However, he couldn't get up.
A foot stepped on him, like Mount Tai pressing down, firmly suppressing him in place.
"It's not a good thing for young people to be too proud, but for an old man like you, is pride a good thing?"
