e I'm at it!"Chen Ping finished speaking, walked out. When he passed by Chen Bao Guo's side, Chen Ping whispered, "Dad, I really didn't lie to you, you'll know if you come with me!"After Chen Ping lef..."Mr. Chen, what's wrong"
Chen Ping's companion, Zhao Wujī, also sensed the faint killing intent emanating from Chen Ping. Confused, he asked:
"It's alright!" Chen Ping shook his head.
Zhao Wujie seeing Chen Ping did not speak, also did not continue to ask.
After waiting for a while longer, all of the reinforcements arrived, but still there was no sign of Master Shi. Finally, Zhao Wuji and Chen Ping could only enter first.
Now, the hall in the Protector's Pavilion is packed with people, and each one isn't ordinary. Some are talking to each other, while others are meditating with their eyes closed.
Among these people, Chen Ping also found some familiar faces. Hu Bazi, the tomb robber, and Cheng Kun from the Pleiades Gate, were both there. However, Chen Ping didn't know if they had come with their families or if they had been invited individually.
However, there was no sign of the Bai family or Qin family among them. Neither Bai Xiushan nor Qin Xiaohan was here. They probably haven't qualified yet.
After another half an hour or so, the entire noisy hall suddenly fell silent. A middle-aged man walked in, followed by four people in uniform behind him.
The middle-aged man emanated a powerful aura, one that made it difficult to look directly at him. After everyone laid eyes on the middle-aged man, they all stood up in unison.
And Chen Ping, upon seeing the middle-aged man walk in, was suddenly shocked with wide eyes and a face full of astonishment.
It wasn't that Chen Ping knew this middle-aged man, but the four men in uniform behind him, Chen Ping had seen them before.
These four people were the same ones Chen Ping met for the first time in Kyoto, saved by Long Wu. Among them was Captain Xing, who was still there.
When Chen Ping saw the abilities of these four people back then, he had already regarded them as beings like immortals. However, now these people were just subordinates to someone else.
"Mr. Shi…"
Everyone shouted at the middle-aged man.
"Haha, sorry about that, got a little sidetracked and was late..."
Then Mr. Shi let out a hearty laugh and waved his hand, motioning for everyone to sit down.
"Mr. Chen, this is Mr. Shi I mentioned, he represents that special department now."
Zhao Wujī whispered to Chen Píng.
Chen Ping nodded. He didn't need Zhao Wuji to introduce him; he could tell already.
It's likely that the strength of the four attendants behind Master Shi alone is something that many people here couldn't match.
The celebration began, and Mr. Shi, holding his manuscript, started speaking some official words. Though no one enjoyed listening to them, everyone sat quietly.
After saying some innocuous things, Mr. Shi swept his gaze over Chen Ping and smiled faintly: "This time in the international competition, we were able to achieve such results, and killed that arrogant Watanabe Ichiro, it's all thanks to Chen Ping's efforts. The martial arts world should learn more from Chen Ping, don't always focus on the small gains in front of you, put the country first."
“I know you folks from the Sects and Clans are used to freedom, and don't like being constrained by the government. I won't force you, after all, everyone has their own aspirations. But I hope that the martial arts world will not fight amongst themselves for resources. I heard that for a single dragon crystal, many Sects and Clans wanted to hunt down Chen Ping. Don't we provide enough resources through the trials we hold for the martial arts world every year”
"Since Chen Ping has now joined the Protectorate Hall, he is under the Emperor's command. I believe all of you present know the consequences of killing him."
Mr. Shi's words instantly caused a stir among the noisy crowd below.
Long Jingguo's face was as dark as thunder. He never expected Chen Ping, a nobody, to join the humble Protectorate Pavilion and somehow get lucky enough to have Mr. Shi speak up for him.
The Xuanyuan family was shocked at the same time. Xuanyuan Kai had just said he wanted to find Chen Ping for revenge, but now, it directly said such words, how could they deal with Chen Pingn, our master was injured in the face many years ago, which is why he always wears a mask."Zhou Jie softly followed Chen Ping's explanation."What's going on"Song Qingping looked at the blood on the gr...
