294: Chapter 294 Examiners Confirmed

After waiting for a long time, the Young Woman finally slowly regained her composure.

On the other side, the King of the Western Frontier had also more or less calmed down and began asking for details. After a while, he became increasingly shocked; he hadn't expected Ye Qing's weapon spirit to have already reached such a level of strength.

The outside rumors said it was formed by a combination of two Second Ancestral Return weapon spirits.

But looking at this intensity, it was not at all weaker than a Third Ancestral Return!

If these two sisters were to achieve their Third Ancestral Return, wouldn't that be incredible?

The King of the Western Frontier thought to himself, his lips twitching; this was simply too terrifying!

"Alright, you all head back first. Continue to gather information within the Modu Barrier. If there's any other news, report back immediately, understood?" The King of the Western Frontier said, then called out again as the Guard Army turned to leave, "Wait, while you're scouting in the Modu Barrier, you must also watch out for King Fenghai. You know his temperament; if he discovers you, I'm afraid you won't be coming back."

"We understand, King of the Western Frontier."

The man spoke and then walked outside.

Only the Young Woman and the King of the Western Frontier remained in the room.

"Uncle, I'm heading back first. If you go to the Modu Barrier later, could you take me with you? I want to meet this legendary figure."

The Young Woman spoke with a flushed face, her expression full of bashfulness and her voice trembling slightly.

Hmm?!

Hearing this, the King of the Western Frontier was momentarily stunned. What did this girl just say?

Had she finally come around?

He was just about to ask, but his niece had already run out, looking exactly like a young girl in love, full of shy embarrassment.

"This girl..."

The King of the Western Frontier shook his head, but his eyes also held excitement. After all, this was good; he could take her to the Modu Barrier to see. If she really could form a Contract with Ye Qing, that would be truly excellent.

Meanwhile, at Qishan Villa within the Modu Barrier.

King Fenghai and Huang Bai sat for a while before also departing.

Ye Qing looked around and then entered Zhu Yin's room.

In the evening, inside the Modu Military Department office, King Fenghai was confirming the list of Examiners with his secretary.

"King Fenghai, who is Ye Qing going to replace?"

The secretary watched from the side. After all, given Ye Qing's strength, he could replace anyone. With Ye Qing joining, they believed even more promising talents would be attracted to this assessment.

This was a move that killed several birds with one stone.

"I think we should replace Pharmacist Zhou Kang. He has a special mission during this period, and he didn't seem particularly interested in being an Examiner or an instructor anyway."

King Fenghai spoke, and the secretary nodded.

Pharmacist Zhou Kang was a Marquis Realm Expert with formidable strength and held a decent position within the Modu Military Department. It seemed quite a few examinees were coming specifically for him, but replacing him with Ye Qing would be even better.

"Go and tell Pharmacist Zhou Kang first so he knows he doesn't need to serve as an Assessment Instructor. I feel like that fellow will be quite happy about it."

"As for the other candidates and the final announcement, we'll wait until we finalize everything tomorrow. It's getting late, let's rest first," King Fenghai said to the secretary.

"Alright, King Fenghai, you go rest first. I'll go inform Pharmacist Zhou Kang."

The secretary turned and left.

On the other side.

Pharmacist Zhou Kang was chatting with several Marquis Realm Experts and Town Generals.

"Phew, another exhausting day. Evenings are better; I can finally relax. Although I can't drink because of the mission, it's nice to chat and eat with you guys."

Pharmacist Zhou Kang said with a hearty laugh.

"You lucky bastard, you get to rest while we still have plenty of work on our plates," one Marquis Realm Expert said, his face full of helplessness. "The assessment starts in a few days. You're both an Examiner and an instructor; you'll be busy then."

Pharmacist Zhou Kang: "..."

Good grief, you really don't know how to keep a conversation going. I was just about to have a good rest, and now that you've mentioned it, my mental burden has increased again.

"You say that as if you don't have to do the assessment too."

Pharmacist Zhou Kang said irritably.

"Don't we all have to?"

"True, it's actually quite interesting. We can see if there are any good prospects. If there are, we can recruit them into our own ranks; they'll become our own strength in the future."

"That's true, but training them up is still a lot of effort."

"Don't say that this guy is unwilling to be an instructor."

...

As everyone chimed in one after another, Pharmacist Zhou Kang looked at them. "Come, come, eat some meat. This matter is unavoidable now."

"What's unavoidable?"

"Being the assessment Examiner and instructor, of course."

Pharmacist Zhou Kang didn't know where the voice came from and answered casually.

But the next moment, he felt something was wrong. The fellows next to him were all looking in another direction, their expressions shifting one by one.

Several of those at the Town General Rank even stood up, their faces filled with respect.

Pharmacist Zhou Kang then turned his head and met the secretary's eyes.

Pharmacist Zhou Kang: "..."

"Oh, what brings you here? Have you eaten? Sit down and have some?" Pharmacist Zhou Kang looked at the secretary, thinking about what he had just said, his face full of embarrassment. After all, the secretary was also a Marquis Realm Expert and was often close to King Fenghai. If his complaints reached King Fenghai's ears, he wouldn't escape a scolding.

So, he had better shut the secretary's mouth quickly.

"Are you few also unwilling to serve as Examiners?"

The secretary looked at the nearby Marquis Realm Experts and Town General Rank experts and asked abruptly.

"No, no, we are all quite willing."

"Exactly, it's just this guy who's unwilling. We'll definitely participate actively in such matters. We were just called over by him tonight."

The secretary looked at Pharmacist Zhou Kang. "Forget it, I won't scare you anymore. King Fenghai just asked me to tell you some news: you don't have to serve as an Examiner or instructor anymore."

Boom!

In an instant, everyone's eyes widened in shock, hardly able to believe what they had heard.

Good heavens, he actually doesn't have to?

Why?

Is King Fenghai angry?

Is that why he's not using this guy anymore?

At the thought of King Fenghai being angry, Pharmacist Zhou Kang felt the hair on his body stand on end; this was no small matter.

"I..."

Before he could speak, the secretary interrupted him. "There's a better candidate to replace you. Since you're unwilling to go, then you don't have to. King Fenghai specifically asked me to tell you; it's not that he has any grievance against you."

"King Fenghai really isn't angry?"

"No, that's the truth."

The secretary shook his head.
