540: Chapter: Meeting an old friend, encountering

Two days later, the sun was just right. The grand and spectacular main base of the Great Xia Military Department sat there like a giant beast.

Li Mingxuan arrived at the main gate of the base and went through layers of strict identity verification. Each step was meticulous and rigorous, as if a tight net was sifting something.

Finally, he successfully passed the verification and was led inside by a soldier with a serious expression and efficient movements.

The interior of this Military Department base was vast, filled with buildings in a simple yet grand style.

Li Mingxuan followed the soldier through corridors and courtyards, occasionally seeing soldiers in military uniforms hurrying past. They stood tall, looked focused, and exuded a solemn and serious aura.

Eventually, Li Mingxuan was led to an indoor plaza.

This plaza was very spacious. Military flags and maps hung on the surrounding walls, and the floor was paved with smooth marble, gleaming faintly under the lights.

At this time, quite a few people were already waiting there.

They were either standing there with calm expressions or talking in low voices in groups of three or five, seemingly all waiting for something.

Li Mingxuan stood there, his gaze casually sweeping the surroundings. Suddenly, his sight stopped on a figure in the distance. In that instant, his pupils contracted; it was an instinctive alertness and shock.

The person seemed to sense something, noticed Li Mingxuan, and then surprisingly walked towards him without hesitation.

As the distance shortened, the person's face gradually became clearer.

"Kid, I didn't expect that little fellow from back then would have grown to this extent."

As soon as the person spoke, there was a hint of teasing in his voice.

Hearing this voice, Li Mingxuan seemed to recover from his brief shock.

"Captain Ye, I didn't expect to meet you here. Are you..."

Li Mingxuan recognized that this person was surprisingly Ye Jun, the Captain of the Martial Security Bureau in Mingde City back then.

Ye Jun had a slender build and a stern face. His eyes revealed a sharpness honed by experience on the battlefield, vastly different from before, seemingly having grown a lot.

As he spoke, he revealed his aura without any concealment.

The aura surged out, clearly the aura of the Martial Lord Realm. Li Mingxuan immediately understood. Coupled with the other party's presence here, he probably guessed why he had come.

Just then, Ye Jun's eyes suddenly changed. His originally stern gaze became somewhat ambiguous.

"Your little girlfriend is here. Let's catch up later!" Ye Jun's lips curved slightly upwards, seemingly with a hint of mysterious smile.

Li Mingxuan was startled by the words. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind instantly.

Immediately, he keenly sensed that someone else was beside him.

He slowly turned his head and saw that the person in front of him was precisely Leng Qingying. She wore a white dress, her face was exquisite but held a hint of coolness, and her eyes were like deep lake water, yet when she looked at Li Mingxuan, they held a few more complex emotions.

For a moment, their eyes met, but they were speechless.

"Long time no see."

After a moment of silence, Li Mingxuan softly uttered these words. A hint of guilt flashed in his eyes unconsciously.

Because in order to track down Li Wuji's whereabouts, coupled with the constant targeting by Family powers, he was forced to distance himself from his former life path and had long ago lost contact with Leng Qingying.

Leng Qingying just quietly glanced at Li Mingxuan, her eyes holding a trace of imperceptible resentment and relief.

After a slight nod, she walked to the side and waited quietly, as if she was just a lonely shadow in this space, not interacting much with the outside world.

Suddenly, a hostile and sharp gaze, like a cold sword, landed directly on him.

Li Mingxuan's heart tightened, and he turned to look towards the entrance of the main gate.

Four tall figures were walking slowly towards them, three men and one woman. They walked into the indoor plaza with steady and confident steps.

But their gazes were all directed at Li Mingxuan in unison. One person's gaze was particularly cold. Although the killing intent in his eyes was hidden very deeply, it was still detected by Li Mingxuan's keen perception.

Li Mingxuan was not unfamiliar with these four people, because they were the strongest prodigies among the Four Great Families of Great Xia.

Each of them was extraordinary, their background and personal strength were both remarkable.

They were Ye Lingxiao from the Ye Family. He had a handsome face, but his eyes revealed a sense of arrogance and disdain.

Liu Yueshu from the Liu Family. She had a graceful figure, but her eyes were as cold as the winter moon.

Wang Hao from the Wang Family. He had a sturdy build and an expression carrying a hint of rebelliousness.

And Li Hongyu from the Li Family. He had a refined appearance but possessed a subtle hint of treachery.

"It seems that news was true. I didn't expect even you have broken through to the Martial Lord Realm!"

The one with hidden killing intent was Ye Lingxiao. His voice was low, but it revealed an irrepressible hostility.

After all, back during the National College Competition, Ye Lingtian of the Ye Family was defeated by Li Mingxuan.

Coincidentally, that Ye Lingtian was Ye Lingxiao's younger brother.

It seemed to be precisely because of this that the Ye Family harbored the deepest hatred towards him and was the most ruthless in suppressing Li Mingxuan.

"What, scared?"

Li Mingxuan's tone was calm. There was no trace of fear on his face, as if he didn't put Ye Lingxiao in his eyes at all.

His attitude was like a fire igniting the anger in Ye Lingxiao's heart. It not only angered Ye Lingxiao but also caused the three people beside him to slightly frown.

Although they stood on Ye Lingxiao's side, it was inconvenient to flare up on this occasion.

Similarly, Ye Lingxiao quickly realized that he couldn't lose his composure. After all, this was not a place where they could act wildly. He took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart.

"Li Mingxuan, let's see how you hide this time!"

As Ye Lingxiao passed by Li Mingxuan, he transmitted his voice viciously. His voice carried strong hatred.

Immediately, he also walked to the side and began to wait, his gaze occasionally glancing towards Li Mingxuan, like a wolf waiting for its chance.

Hearing this, Li Mingxuan just smiled faintly. His smile carried a sense of calmness and composure.

He glanced again at Leng Qingying, who was already sitting with her eyes closed, resting. She sat there, quiet like a painting.

Li Mingxuan didn't hesitate much. He also walked to the side to start adjusting himself. He knew the situation ahead would be severe and he must always maintain his best condition.

However, it wasn't long before he sensed two people walking towards him.

The rhythm of their footsteps clearly entered his ears from among the many sounds of footsteps, and their target was clearly him.
