93: Chapter 93 Reencounter with the Divine Artifact

On the other side, within the Sucheng Military Department.

Several heads and descendants of major families within the Sucheng Barrier were waiting.

"Town General Zhang, I've been waiting in line for a long time. It should be my turn next, right?"

Zou Tang looked at the Town General in front of him and inquired.

Beside him, a Young Woman looked at Zou Tang. "Dad, no need to rush, we're next."

Zou Ying comforted her father, afraid he would get frustrated sitting here.

After all, this was the Sucheng Military Department, a place where Powerful Experts gathered. Although her father was a Mid-stage Grandmaster Spirit Master,

he still didn't amount to much within the Sucheng Military Department.

If they told him to wait in line, he could only wait.

"You might have to wait a bit longer."

"Marquis Ling Feng needs to see someone urgently in a moment; they'll be jumping ahead of you!"

"Just wait a little more. After all, this person is quite special."

As soon as these words were spoken, many members of the major families behind them, who were also there to see Marquis Ling Feng, crowded around.

"It's still going to take a while, isn't it?"

*Hiss*, how can someone just cut the line?"

"Forget it, forget it. I'll head back first then."

One Family head looked at the situation and realized it wouldn't be his turn anytime soon.

He waved his hand and prepared to leave.

Other Family heads who were further up in the queue decided to wait a bit longer.

A moment later.

Just as Zou Tang was getting anxious.

Thud!

Thud!

Several dull thuds suddenly echoed from the distance!

"What's going on?!"

Zou Tang turned around, his eyes suddenly widening. He could hardly believe what he was seeing!

Good heavens, that's—!

Marquis Ling Feng's mount!

And there's someone on it!

It's definitely not Marquis Ling Feng!

After all, Marquis Ling Feng is in his office right now!

That means this person was personally picked up by Marquis Ling Feng's own mount!

What kind of important figure is this!

How much importance does Marquis Ling Feng place on them!

"Dad, this person who just arrived must be the one Marquis Ling Feng wants to see."

Zou Ying whispered to her father. Zou Tang nodded. "Could it be a Marquis-level Expert from another Barrier?"

In all probability, Marquis Ling Feng would only send his own mount to receive such a powerful expert.

A moment later.

The Blazing Flame Tiger approached.

Ye Qing leaped down from its back.

Zou Tang and the others looked at Ye Qing, their eyebrows twitching.

Ah, this?!

Good heavens.

They had guessed wrong just now!

This person was far too young.

"You must be Ye Qing?" Town General Zhang walked over and looked at Ye Qing.

"It's me."

"Marquis Ling Feng has been waiting for you for a long time. Follow me."

Ye Qing followed him.

They headed inside.

Outside.

The various Family heads erupted into a massive debate.

"Who is this? So young, yet valued so highly by Marquis Ling Feng that he even sent his mount to personally receive him!"

"Don't ask me, I don't know either!"

"Don't you have relatives in the military? Use your other connections to help find out this young man's background."

"You're right. I'll go ask, but whether I can find anything out is another matter."

...

As voices drifted around, everyone began to take action, inquiring about the situation.

Inside the office.

Marquis Ling Feng, Li Xian, sat there, carefully reviewing Ye Qing's Materials once more.

"Truly extraordinary."

Knock, knock, knock.

The sound of knocking echoed.

"Come in!"

"Marquis Ling Feng, I've brought Ye Qing."

Li Xian looked at Ye Qing and nodded. That look in his eyes, that posture—one glance and you could tell he was the type of person who could pull off such things.

Feeling the sharpness and Killing Intent emanating from Ye Qing, he was suddenly dazed for a moment.

This feeling was something he seemed to have seen before in King Fenghai, who used to guard the Sucheng Barrier.

"You may leave now."

Li Xian waved his hand, dismissing Town General Zhang.

"Haha, hearing about you is one thing, but seeing you is another. You're even younger than I imagined." Li Xian came up to Ye Qing and patted his shoulder with a heavy palm.

That palm felt somewhat like an Iron Sand Palm.

One look and you could tell he was a veteran of many battles, his hands covered in thick calluses.

"Marquis Ling Feng, you overpraise me."

"With all the achievements you've made, it's not overpraising." Marquis Ling Feng led Ye Qing to sit down and poured him a cup of tea.

"So, are there any abnormalities in your body after the blood pool tempering?"

As soon as they sat down, Marquis Ling Feng asked with concern.

"There aren't any abnormalities. I just feel my body is much tougher. I'm actually a bit embarrassed that I absorbed all the Dragon Qi, Dragon Blood, and dragon soul from the blood pool."

Marquis Ling Feng: "..." Your words are full of apology, but why do I feel like your tone and expression don't show much of it at all?

"Fine, everything else is a minor matter as long as your body is fine. Speaking of which, you really are a freak. So many experts went in for tempering before without any issues, yet you're different."

"However, it's not that I'm stingy. That place was formed after the current King Fenghai slayed the Black Water Flood Dragon. Every time he comes to the Sucheng Barrier, he goes there to reminisce about those glorious days."

"It really wouldn't be good if he came back and found it had turned into clear water."

"I understand."

...

After the two talked for a while, Marquis Ling Feng checked the time. "I'll have them take you for a tour around the Sucheng Military Department in a bit."

Marquis Ling Feng thought that it would be a loss for the military if such a good prospect couldn't be recruited.

"Town General Zhang!"

Li Xian called Zhang Wei in. "Take Ye Qing for a tour around here. There's no need to hide areas that aren't highly classified; take him everywhere."

"I understand, Marquis Ling Feng."

After the two left.

Li Xian stood there and couldn't help but sigh. "I have to say, Old Master Li's eye for choosing a grandson-in-law is truly unique. He's a fine prospect; Old Master Li's good fortune is yet to come."

Meanwhile.

Outside, the Family heads were all twitching their lips as they recalled the news they had just received.

They felt their hearts thumping like war drums.

Too terrifying!

"He's out, he's out."

A nearby Family head said, and everyone looked in that direction.

Zou Ying and many Young Masters and young misses looked at Ye Qing's face, etching it firmly into their minds.

"Ye Qing, it's just the two of us now. No need to be formal. I'll take you around."

Zhang Wei had a smile on his face, feeling a long-lost sense of relaxation.

"Wherever you want to look, I'll take you. Marquis Ling Feng specifically said you can go anywhere except the most classified areas."

"What is this place?"

Ye Qing looked at a strange building nearby and asked.

"This? This is the Dispatch Room. General documents are sent out from here. I'll take you in for a look."

With that, Zhang Wei led Ye Qing inside.

They had only been looking around for a short while.

Ye Qing stopped in his tracks, looking at a beautiful figure in front of him, his mind racing frantically.
