69: Hold him down and slap him twice

In the direction of the capital, the Grand Elder was currently awaiting news.

Just then, the door was suddenly knocked upon.

Hearing the knock, the Grand Elder abruptly looked up and quickly said, "Come in!"

The door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man walked in from outside. After bowing to the Grand Elder, he said, "Grand Elder, the target has been found!"

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder's eyes instantly lit up, and he asked, "Where is she?"

The middle-aged man then took out a tablet, operated on it for a few moments, and handed it to the Grand Elder.

Then he said, "She's in the forest reserve outside Tianfu City, which is where the Monkey Monster's corpse was last time!"

"There?"

The Grand Elder was slightly surprised for a moment, but after thinking about it, he found it understandable.

The diary mentioned that Jin Meiting had just gained superpowers, so she probably wanted to find a secluded place to try them out. Going to that location was indeed quite suitable...

However, it was precisely because of this that she was found so quickly.

If it were just a name, it wouldn't have been found this fast.

The Grand Elder then looked at the tablet, which was displaying footage of Jin Meiting releasing flames, casually conjuring and controlling them.

Seeing this scene, the Grand Elder felt a surge of emotion.

"A spontaneously Awakened talent, capable of controlling flames. I wonder if her ability is truly bestowed by the Fire God!"

Then the middle-aged man beside him took out a physical document and said, "This contains all of Jin Meiting's information, as well as her family network and so on."

Hearing the middle-aged man's introduction, the Grand Elder reached out and took the physical document, then carefully examined it.

The Grand Elder placed great importance on Jin Meiting.

Not only because Jin Meiting was also a transcendent, but more so because Jin Meiting was the first to Awaken spontaneously, and she was also blessed by the Fire God.

The Grand Elder thought a lot, believing that this type of person might have some undiscovered secrets, perhaps even secrets that Jin Meiting herself was unaware of.

Moreover, the diary also mentioned that Jin Meiting was the first to Awaken spontaneously, not relying on Talent Spiritual Fruit or Immortal Legacy.

Does that mean that in the future, more people will Awaken their talents spontaneously like Jin Meiting?

After the Grand Elder finished reading all the contents of the physical document, he was slightly surprised: "She used to be a citizen of the Stick Nation?"

The Grand Elder subconsciously thought of the Stick Nation's leader, a Stick Nation person who looked a bit disgusting.

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "However, Jin Meiting loves Xia Nation very much, and six years ago, she already became a citizen of our Xia Nation!"

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder nodded.

The contents the middle-aged man just mentioned were all in the physical document; he had only spoken out of a slight surprise.

The document clearly stated that Jin Meiting was currently alone and had no relatives in the Stick Nation!

As for Jin Meiting's character and abilities, both were very strong. If she joined the Special Affairs Handling Bureau, she might be able to take on the position of a team leader!

The Grand Elder then directly said, "Let Lan Kun and Qin Zhe contact Jin Meiting and invite her to join the Special Affairs Handling Bureau."

The middle-aged man nodded upon hearing this, then bowed again, and afterward, turned and left.

After the middle-aged man left, the Grand Elder suddenly thought of something, and a smile appeared on his face.

He suddenly felt that this Jin Meiting was not bad. If the Stick Nation's leader knew Jin Meiting's identity in the future, his expression would surely be very interesting.

Given the Stick Nation's leader's demeanor, he might use this as an excuse to demand benefits...

The Grand Elder pondered for a moment, then let out a long breath, his gaze becoming somewhat meaningful.

It's just right. Xia Nation hasn't shown its sharp edge for many years. If the Stick Nation's leader wants to jump around then, we'll send people to beat him up and slap him a few times while he's on the ground...

On the other side, Lan Kun, who was practicing his abilities at the training ground, and Qin Zhe, who was cultivating and meditating in the quiet room, both received notifications and then set off towards Tianfu City.

Time passed bit by bit, and soon it was evening.

Ke Ming kept her promise and held the final concert of her professional career for her fans.

That night, the Demon City Sports Plaza was directly overflowing with people.

Especially when fans learned that this was Ke Ming's last concert, almost all of them rushed over from all over the country.

The seats in Demon City Sports Plaza were full, so everyone gathered outside. All the fans were extremely enthusiastic, hoping that Ke Ming would see them, her supporting fans, and hoping she wouldn't leave the stage!

Backstage at the concert, Ke Ming was currently doing her makeup.

And Ke Ming's agent, a woman in her thirties, was looking at Ke Ming from a distance with a complex expression.

Ke Ming could be said to have been brought up by her, and their relationship was like sisters.

She knew Ke Ming's personality very well, knowing that Ke Ming was a very opinionated person, so she stopped trying to persuade her.

She just couldn't understand why Ke Ming suddenly chose to permanently withdraw from the entertainment industry when everything was clearly still going well!

However, whenever she asked Ke Ming, Ke Ming was unwilling to say, even using some invisible diary as an excuse to brush her off, so she simply stopped asking.

She only hoped that after tonight, Ke Ming's future life would still be as happy as when she sang on stage.

Then she checked the time and reminded, "Xiao Ming, the concert is about to start!"

Ke Ming stopped what she was doing, turned to look at her, and nodded with a faint smile: "I know."

Looking at the smile on Ke Ming's face, she still couldn't help but ask again, "You clearly have the potential to become a diva in the future, why..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Ke Ming.

Ke Ming spread her hands, her face full of helplessness: "I've explained, but you don't listen. I've told you the truth, but you don't believe me. What else can I do?"

After speaking, Ke Ming stood up, a confident smile beaming on her face.

"Alright! It's time for me to go on stage!"

"After this concert ends, it'll be time for me to actively seek out my own life..."

The agent's face was blank upon hearing this, completely failing to understand what Ke Ming meant by her words.

Seeing the expression on her agent's face, Ke Ming didn't explain further, smiled slightly, and then walked towards the stage.

Arriving on stage, she looked at the glow sticks and various light boards held by the fans below.

Listening to their pleas for her not to withdraw, and seeing so many people who had come from all over the country to support her, a warm current surged through Ke Ming's heart, and her eyes became a little red...

Then she took a deep breath and began tonight's concert.
