"It should be the chief's people," Yang Chen said directly.
Master Ye glanced at Yang Chen, nodded, and said, "That's right. The only one who can connect with the Shangqing Sect and value it so much is the chief."
Yang Chen nodded, hesitated for a mont, and asked, "Do you think the chief is doing this just because of the Shangqing Sect, or is there another reason?"
Yang Chen has always been puzzled by the chief's reasons for taking action.
What surprised Yang Chen even more was the black-clad guard squad that Zhou Botao was part of.
Yang Chen could tell that the squad's strength was incredibly strong and surprising.
Originally, Yang Chen thought that the most elite squad in Fla Country was the Dragon Tooth Squad.
But now it seems this is not the case.
Yang Chen also suspected that these squads were from the Shangqing Sect. But after asking Kunze, Kunze didn't know this squad.
Considering nurous reasons, Yang Hucheng couldn't figure out why the chief would choose this thod.
The squad in black intends to eliminate him.
But from the chief's perspective, he can't make a move against Yang Chen.
Not just because of the Ye family, but also the Zhuo family, the Dragon Tooth Squad, and the Fire Phoenix, all are enormous obstacles.
Making a move against Yang Chen is a move that brings more cons than pros.
Yet the chief still chose to act directly against Yang Chen and demanded a kill!
This made Yang Chen feel that there was certainly more to it than t the eye.
"Perhaps... he already learned about the old immortal's prophecy given to you and believed it," Master Ye said.
Yang Chen reflected on this and also found it sowhat amusing.
"Then I'll go take a look," Yang Chen shrugged.
If soldiers co, a general will block. If water arrives, earth will cover. He even dealt with the Shangqing Sect, so what else is there to fear?
Master Ye frowned and asked, "Do you need to send people with you in case he makes a move?"
Yang Chen smiled slightly and looked at Master Ye, "Do you think he'd make a move against soone who can contend with the Sect Master?"
Master Ye was startled and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
At that ti, Kunze could single-handedly fight his way into Beihai Country and obliterate the royals there.
Now, if soone were to make a move against Yang Chen at the artificial sea, it would be a very foolish decision.
Master Ye laughed, "Go ahead."
Yang Chen stepped out, ready to drive off.
At this mont, Jian Feng, Mastiff, ng Po, Purple Cultivator, and Dongzi arrived.
"Boss, where are you going?" Mastiff asked.
Yang Chen glanced at them, spoke in a deep voice, "Stay here, I'm heading to the artificial sea."
"I'll go with you!" Jian Feng stepped forward.
"I'll co too!" Mastiff hurriedly said.
Yang Chen frowned at the two, thought for a bit, and said, "Jian Feng will drive , Mastiff stays ho!"
"Alright!" Mastiff was a bit disappointed.
Jian Feng quickly went to fetch the car.
ng Po looked at Yang Chen, her brows knitted together, staring at Yang Chen, hesitating, wanting to speak but holding back.
Yang Chen said to her, "The matter is resolved; I've already reconciled with the Shangqing Sect. No need to worry, I'll arrange for your flights back ho."
ng Po shook her head, "No rush."
Yang Chen stared at ng Po with a frown, "Is there sothing you want to say?"
This was not like what ng Po would say at all.
ng Po was straightforward and knew well that Fla Country wasn't where she belonged. Once things were settled, she would leave quickly without any unnecessary stay.
But now ng Po was saying there's no rush.
Seeing the expressions of Purple Cultivator and Dongzi, it was clear sothing was up.
Under Yang Chen's gaze, ng Po was conflicted, looking down, unsure what to say.
Jian Feng arrived with the car.
Yang Chen watched the three and coldly said, "I'll be back soon. Think about how you'll explain to !"
After that, Yang Chen opened the car door and got in, saying to Jian Feng, "Let's go!"
As they watched the car leave, ng Po glanced at the two, who sighed deeply.
They knew that there's nothing they could hide from Yang Chen's eyes.
...
The car drove along the road and soon arrived at the artificial sea.
The guards at the entrance stopped them. Yang Chen, feeling irritated, said impatiently, "I'm looking for the chief. If we're allowed in, we'll go; if not, we'll leave imdiately!"
The gate guard was startled by Yang Chen's attitude, blinked, and didn't respond imdiately.
"Let's go!" Yang Chen said coldly to Jian Feng, "I don't feel like seeing him anyway!"
The guard next to them quickly pulled this person aside and said, "Isn't this what Secretary Zhou instructed?"
Hearing this, the person realized, quickly blocked the car and said, "You can go in now!"
With that, he imdiately lifted the barrier and allowed the car in.
Jian Feng looked at Yang Chen in the rearview mirror and asked, "Still going?"
"Let's go!" Yang Chen replied coldly.
He felt uneasy, which was a rare feeling for him. Even when Ye Xin was kidnapped, he was sure he'd rescue Ye Xin.
But now there's a strange sense of panic.
Is it because ng Po is hiding sothing from him?
Or did sothing happen in the Asura Hall?
Rembering ng Po telling him that she hadn't heard from the Asura Hall for two days, could sothing have really happened?
Thinking of this, Yang Chen felt even more tense.
Everyone in the Asura Hall is his family, his brothers, his disciples; he wouldn't allow any problems to occur!
Soon, the car stopped in front of the chief's courtyard gate.
"We're here!" Jian Feng opened the car door for Yang Chen.
Yang Chen gave a glance to Jian Feng, frowned, and stepped out of the car.
Just as they were about to ascend the steps, Zhou Qinghe ca out to greet them, "Welco! The chief has been waiting inside for so ti."
Yang Chen looked at Zhou Qinghe and suddenly two words ca to mind, 'Eunuch!'
Following Zhou Qinghe inside, Yang Chen saw the chief drinking tea, the room filled with the fragrance of tea.
Jian Feng was stopped by Zhou Qinghe at the door.
Yang Chen glanced over and said, "Stand guard outside."
The chief inside said, "No need to stay outside, co in; I have sothing to say to him as well."
Upon hearing this, Yang Chen furrowed his brows and looked at Jian Feng.
Jian Feng was also puzzled; all along, they were under direct orders from top leaders, with the chief seldom intervening. They rarely saw the chief and never spoke, so they didn't know what the chief wanted with him.
The two walked in, and the chief motioned for them to sit and poured each a cup of tea.
"Try it, aged Pu'er." The chief smiled.
Anything called a treasured item by the chief certainly couldn't be wrong, so Yang Chen naturally wasn't reserved and took a sip.
The taste was rich, prompting Yang Chen to praise, "Good tea!"
Jian Feng didn't understand tea, rely thought it tasted alright, and nodded.
The chief laughed, "One look and I can tell you know tea. This brick of Pu'er has been aged for a hundred years; its taste is extraordinary."
"A hundred-year-old Pu'er!" Yang Chen was astonished and nodded, "The taste is indeed rich."
A century-old Pu'er is very valuable, and quality ones can fetch millions in auction. For the chief to share it now made Yang Chen feel quite flattered.
