On the training ground, Xiang Gongfeng, who was being trampled under Lin Ce's feet, was filled with shame and indignation.
Having served the Su family for many years, he had always enjoyed privileges that were difficult for ordinary people to attain. How could he have ever experienced such a situation?
At this moment, in his heart, he wished he could kill Lin Ce a thousand times over.
But it's just a thought.
Gradually, a feeling called fear began to grow in his heart.
He believed that among those below the Grandmaster level, his strength was definitely among the top tier.
But they were so easily defeated and trampled underfoot.
Could it be that the other party has actually reached that realm?
At this age?
No, absolutely not.
"Chief镖头 Lin, we are all working together for the sake of the fifth young master of the Su family. Why should we resort to violence? Why don't we sit down and have a good talk?"
As soon as he said those words, he felt a sense of relief.
Because the foot that was pressing down on him retracted.
Clearly, the other party took this to heart.
Lin Ce sat back down in his seat.
Xiang Gongfeng's initial arrogance was within his expectations, but his subsequent behavior was far beyond his expectations.
As expected of a seasoned veteran, his face changes faster than flipping through a book.
Standing to the side with a beaming smile, he addressed the worshipper:
"Chief镖头 Lin is right. I've been overthinking things. Let's just wait a few days. I doubt that 'Thousand-Faced Impermanence' would dare to have any wicked intentions."
“It’s alright, I don’t mind. You can go out to sea on your own. I can give you ‘Thousand Faces’ contact information.”
Lin Ce also came to terms with it. After all, it concerned the life of the fifth young master of the Su family. If others were willing to worry more, then let them worry.
If this happens to save Su Qianzhong, that would be even better.
"Take this manual back with you too."
After seeing off Xiang Gongfeng and Su Caiying, Lin Ce breathed a sigh of relief.
Given the circumstances, he accepted the outcome of the escort mission, regardless of its ultimate success or failure.
In any case, he doesn't plan to go to sea anytime soon.
Having reached this stage of his strength, he has become more sensitive to the aura in the sea.
That sea area is not a place where mere martial artists at the innate level can roam freely.
The reason nothing happened before was simply because the extremely powerful entity lurking in the sea did not intend to take action.
But Lin Ce did not intend to entrust his safety to these uncertain factors.
"The fox-hatted woman from Mirror Stream Workshop, the half-mermaid sea lord, Yang Xueqing from Azure Water Peak..."
Lin Ce pondered to himself.
As expected, people at different levels enter different circles, and the powerful beings they can come into contact with are also quite different.
Of the three known so far, all of them are beings who have transcended the innate level.
As for whether there will be more in Sihai Prefecture, that remains to be seen.
"My strength is still not enough."
Lin Ce sighed inwardly.
If others knew this, they would be astonished and would curse him for being insatiable.
In a short period of time, his strength has improved by several leaps.
Relying on the fused "Azure Rock Mountain-Breaking Fist" and his flawless body, he was now able to easily defeat a fourth-rank martial artist.
At least, none of the fourth-rank martial artists he has encountered so far have been able to withstand him for even a short time.
While the fact that those people were caught off guard certainly played a part, the main reason was the unique nature of the body without leakage.
This completely ignores the role of martial arts intent, which is a terrifying tactic that can turn the tide of battle in a confrontation with a martial artist driven by intent.
However, even ignoring the special role of martial arts intent, the strength of a fourth-grade intent martial artist should not be underestimated.
In other words, his physical strength was sufficient to remain unharmed from the onslaught of martial arts techniques enhanced by his willpower.
But Lin Ce did not let this cloud his judgment.
He knew very well that with his current strength, he would ultimately be unable to withstand attacks from higher-level martial artists.
We must continue to improve our own capabilities.
"Let's put Su Qianzhong's matter aside for now. The escort agency still needs to operate normally and continue taking on other small escort missions."
He understood very well that the system rewards the bodyguards received for escorting goods were his livelihood and he absolutely could not give them up.
"I wonder if our boss, Su Caiying, will have any thoughts on this..."
Lin Ce shook his head. "Forget it, why think about it so much? The purpose of a security escort agency is to escort goods, it can't just shut down because of Su Qianzhong."
However, the most troublesome situation did not occur.
On the third day alone, a falcon flew in and landed at the Sihai Escort Agency.
Wu Renshi, the "Thousand-Faced Impermanent Man," actually found Su Qianzhong's whereabouts.
The message from the falcon was intended to inform Lin Ce in advance, lest he become enraged and kill the other three villains.
The letter says:
Traces of Su Qianzhong were found in the 'Sea Abyss', but Su Qianzhong was not trapped in the 'Sea Abyss'. He had already escaped from it and was currently overseas. Wu Renshi was trying his best to find him and hoped that Lin Ce could give him more time.
Lin Ce nodded secretly.
Wu Renshi was quite satisfied that he was actually able to find Su Qianzhong's whereabouts.
Although he wasn't particularly close to Su Qianzhong, he was still happy that the other man had been given a second chance at life.
Needless to say, this would greatly increase the chances of him successfully completing his mission.
Then you won't have to give up the system rewards.
"Do you want to make the trip yourself for this reward?"
After thinking for a moment, Lin Ce finally shook his head.
The incidents involving the Three Winds Guest and the Four Evils served as a wake-up call for him.
One's flawless body is clearly a highly sought-after possession in the eyes of many.
If I go out to sea now and encounter someone with malicious intent, I'm afraid I'll get myself into a lot of trouble.
"Just inform the Su family. That old man was very willing to make the trip, so he's perfect for it."
Soon, he summoned Shang Shaofeng and asked him to spread the message.
Three more days passed in the blink of an eye.
Good news arrived: Su Qianzhong had been found.
When he was found, the guy was wandering overseas, thinking of hunting a sea monster.
Wu Renshi found him first, but the two sides couldn't reach an agreement. In the process of chasing each other, they encountered the Su family who were on their way to provide support.
This time, it was Wu Renshi's turn to desperately flee.
Although he couldn't hold out against Lin Ce for long, the people sent by the Su family weren't in dire straits.
He managed to escape in the end.
Once Su Qianzhong was found, feedback quickly came from the Su family, indicating that the escort mission was now complete.
The remaining profits will naturally be negotiated between Su Caiying and her family.
These were none of Lin Ce's concerns.
At some point, the "King of Escorts" system issued a notification.
Once the escort mission is completed, the corresponding reward will be credited to your account in due course.
