"The martial arts association has just been reford, and we must do sothing significant to consolidate our position. It would be best to hold a grand event and invite everyone from the Martial Arts world to participate. I ntioned this idea to Elder Tong, and he agreed. We just haven’t co up with a good plan yet. Last night, I thought, why not hold a Martial Arts Tournant, similar to the Heavenly chanism Great Ceremony at the Heavenly chanism Pavilion, where we can compete and exchange skills. We could also prepare generous rewards to attract everyone’s participation."
"A Martial Arts Tournant?" Ling Chen said with interest. "That sounds intriguing. But how does this relate to Qi Yong?"
"Since it’s a competitive event, injuries are inevitable. You participated in the Heavenly chanism Great Ceremony before; you saw how fierce the battles were, and you experienced it firsthand. If sothing happens to Qi Yong in the martial arts arena..." Su i paused slightly and emphasized, "I’m not talking about being killed by an opponent but being seriously injured, with martial arts skills ruined. Do you think soone without strength would still qualify for an important position in the martial arts association? Although the association doesn’t emphasize martial arts prowess, it is the basic requirent. At that ti, we will have enough reason to remove Qi Yong."
After hearing Su i’s reasoning, Ling Chen’s eyes brightened. Remarkable! Su i has truly grown a lot to co up with such a plan. As soone in a high position, having only a kind heart isn’t enough; having the necessary ruthlessness is what’s most important. Especially for a girl like Su i, there’s no room for rcy. It seems that under Du Kang’s guidance, Su i has advanced rapidly in this aspect.
Seeing the smile at the corner of Ling Chen’s mouth, Su i rolled her eyes at him and asked, "Do you think I’m being vicious?"
"Not at all." Ling Chen replied with a smile, "I’m just happy for you. Alright, we’ll do as you say. I’ll discuss it with Elder Tong to finalize the timing."
"Alright, I have to go to Beijing in a few days. Let’s stay in touch."
After the discussion with Su i, Ling Chen didn’t linger and returned to the guest room to call Ling Gengqiu. Accompanied by Song Ge, they left the Heavenly chanism Pavilion. Outside the pavilion’s forest, Ling Chen waited for a mont and saw Yu Beifeng slowly walking over from another hill.
"Brother Yu." Ling Chen quickly stepped forward to greet him. The latter nodded, glanced at Ling Gengqiu beside him, and said indifferently, "Let’s go."
Initially, Ling Chen and Ling Gengqiu planned to fly back to East Sea City, but because of Yu Beifeng’s addition, Ling Chen had to change their plans. There was no choice; Yu Beifeng had been residing at the Heavenly chanism Pavilion, rarely leaving. In society, he essentially had no identification, no records, no files—nothing.
Upon reaching the city, Ling Chen rented a comfortable business car and then hit the highway towards East Sea City. It took them a whole day, but the trio finally arrived at their destination safely.
Outside the base, Ling Chen and Ling Gengqiu got out of the car with Yu Beifeng. As soon as they landed, Xu Ming, who had been waiting nearby, quickly ran over. In all the ti Ling Chen had known Xu Ming, never had he seen him this excited.
"Junior Brother." Seeing Yu Beifeng in front of him, Xu Ming forcefully patted his shoulder, embraced him, and vigorously patted his back, "It’s been so many years. I never thought we’d have the chance to et again, brothers."
"Senior Brother, you still look the sa." Seeing Xu Ming after so many years, Yu Beifeng’s eyes grew moist.
Ling Chen stepped forward with a smile, "Second Brother, Brother Yu, this isn’t the place to talk. Let’s go, back to the base."
Once inside the base, Xu Ming imdiately took Yu Beifeng away. The brothers hadn’t seen each other in years and naturally had much to discuss. Considerately, Ling Chen didn’t disturb them and instead went to the control room.
"Fatty, Zhu Hong called the night before last."
"Zhu Hong?" Hu Fei was taken aback and asked, "What did that bastard contact you for?"
Ling Chen didn’t hold back and shared Zhu Hong’s request, "In short, that item is very important to and I must get it. So, I’m quite conflicted now, unsure what to do."
Hu Fei rubbed his chin and spoke, "He wants you to help revoke the military’s accusation against him. He’s probably struggling abroad and has no choice but to return. While you were away, I used my overseas network to investigate so information. In the past half month, Zhu Hong’s situation has been dire. The Yingtai Group is hunting him everywhere. I’ve heard he’s been fleeing from one country to another, spending each day on the run, with no force willing to help him. Maybe it’s because of this that he wants to co back."
"Let him suffer for a while longer, and then I’ll contact the people from the military to see if they can revoke the accusation against Zhu Hong."
"Do you think they will agree to such a major request?"
Ling Chen smiled slightly, confidently nodding, "Don’t worry, they will definitely agree."
Ling Chen sat in the control room for a while, and soon Xu Ming entered from outside.
"Thank you, Sixth Brother!"
"Second Brother, we’re family. No need for such formal words. So, does Brother Yu have any plans? Is he staying or...?"
"He’ll be staying with from now on. He’s been residing at the Heavenly chanism Pavilion for years and isn’t familiar with the outside world. I’ll get him acquainted and help him integrate quickly."
"That’s wonderful," Ling Chen said with a joyful smile. Who is Yu Beifeng? He’s not just Su Cheng’en’s apprentice but also a Martial Arts expert on the Heavenly List. Having another expert in their ranks is certainly a matter for happiness.
"By the way," Xu Ming said, as if recalling sothing, "When I was chatting with my junior brother, he ntioned sothing about Su Cheng’en."
"What is it?"
"Su Cheng’en has a property in Jin Hai City, and sotis he leaves the Heavenly chanism Pavilion to stay in Jin Hai City for a few days. If you want to find Su Cheng’en, you might send soone there for a look; you might discover sothing."
"Alright, I understand. I’ll send soone over as soon as possible."
After Xu Ming left, Ling Chen turned to Hu Fei and signaled him with a glance. Hu Fei imdiately understood, picked up his phone, and made a call.
"I’ve already sent a team to Jin Hai City. If all goes well, we should have news in the coming days."
Ling Chen nodded, knowing that if they could find Su Cheng’en’s whereabouts, they would gain an early advantage for their next move.
After handling matters at the base, Ling Chen didn’t return ho but chose to stay directly at the base. After all, there was no one at ho, so it didn’t matter. Besides, after a bit of rest, he needed to visit the Dragon Tiger Hall to work with Tong Zhentian on finalizing matters regarding the Martial Arts Tournant. As the president of the martial arts association, Tong Zhentian’s involvent was undoubtedly essential.
