33: An invitation from Yunxiao Martial Arts School!
Captain Zeng and his team members returned to the Martial Unification Bureau to submit their mission report.
After signing the confidentiality agreement, Jiang Hao strolled leisurely down the street.
"Huh? Are those Demon Clan members?"
Since it was still early for lunch, Jiang Hao decided to wander around Yunxiao City, treating it as a sightseeing tour.
Unexpectedly, outside a shop selling basic martial arts resources, he spotted two over three-meter-tall Demon Clan members with goat horns!
Why would this Demon Clan, which Councilor Xing had nearly wiped out, appear in Yunxiao City? Jiang Hao hesitated and stopped at the entrance.
The two pitch-black Demon Clan members with blue patterns on their bodies and strange collars around their necks looked over and spoke in very standard xia country language:
"Is this guest here to purchase martial arts resources? This is a Yun Family enterprise, absolutely fair and honest for all!"
Suppressing the urge to retort, Jiang Hao glanced at the surrounding citizens who seemed accustomed to it and simply pushed the door open to enter.
Jiang Hao blinked, smelling the faint scent of sulfur, and deliberately said:
"Do you have Saint-tier Cultivation Techniques?"
The two demons: ... Are you sure you're not here to cause trouble?
Even though the two demons' facial features were different from humans, Jiang Hao could still read that meaning from their silent expressions.
"Never mind if you don't have any." Jiang Hao turned and left.
Ignoring the crowd that had gathered around him after recognizing him as the Protagonist from the video two days ago.
Jiang Hao, with a grave expression, quickly walked to an unoccupied corner and immediately opened Feixin to send a message to Grandpa Li: Report!!!
Although, judging from the reactions of the passersby earlier, the Yun Family had long been using Demon Clan members as guards, he thought it would be better to inform Grandpa Li about the Old Family Head of the Yun Family.
[I Dont Eat Beef: Grandpa Li, after Councilor Xing subdued the Demon Clan world, did some families take over those demons?]
Grandpa Li replied quickly:
[really want to retire: You want to ask why the Yun Family took over this business, right? Suspect the Yun Family has problems?]
[I Dont Eat Beef: (Shy Panda) I'm just curious, isn't the Old Family Head of the Yun Family on bad terms with the Xia Country officials?]
[really want to retire: Councilor Xing did not allow people from Xingluo State to get involved in matters related to the Demon Clan.]
[really want to retire: If you have nothing better to do, return to Yunlan City. What can you do on Battlefield No. 1 besides smurfing?]
[I Dont Eat Beef: I'm just a Martial Artist who just reached the third Realm. smurfing precisely proves how amazing I am. Others should learn from me to become as outstanding as I am.]
[really want to retire: Quite the character. Then watch your own safety, don't go deep into the battlefield.]
[I Dont Eat Beef: Roger that! (Panda Salute)]
Closing the Light Screen, Jiang Hao looked at the Yun Family enterprise in the distance.
The Yun Family received Councilor Xing's support???
Jiang Hao frowned, realizing the situation was not simple.
Is the Old Family Head of the Yun Family truly on bad terms with Xia Country?
Why did so many people online say the Yun Family was going to break with the Xia Country officials?
Now, some families in Yunxiao City are indeed paying lip service while acting contrary.
Jiang Hao knew there were clues he currently wasn't qualified to know, so he couldn't understand the Old Family Head of the Yun Family's true stance.
And that clue was likely related to advancing to the Saint-tier!
Alright.
This clearly looked like a legendary-level mission he couldn't interfere with at his current level.
He'd better honestly smurf and develop! In the future, he would surely surpass those big shots!
... Jiang Hao, who arrived at the restaurant first, sent a message to Liu Da and the others about the battlefield closure. Only then did Captain Zeng and the others hurriedly arrive.
"Sorry, Mr. Jiang, we kept you waiting."
"I haven't been here long either, Captain Zeng. The arduous task of ordering is entrusted to you!" Jiang Hao closed the menu and said to Captain Zeng, whose expression changed.
"Let me do it. The Captain takes forever to order, it's agonizing." Deputy Captain Yan calmly picked up the menu and started ordering. Her relaxed expression showed she was an expert.
Jiang Hao looked regretfully at Captain Zeng's relieved expression and thought:
"Captain Zeng definitely has obsessive-compulsive and perfectionist tendencies. Ordering would definitely involve considering everyone's preferences and constantly filtering options."
"He might even get so anxious he breaks out in a sweat."
When the dishes were all served, seeing Jiang Hao drinking a beverage, everyone else also started drinking beverages.
Following the lead of a deity is never wrong!
Jiang Hao's mouth twitched as he watched the group not eating but sitting there staring at him. It gave him goosebumps.
"Everyone, eat! Why aren't you eating?" At that moment, a middle-aged man wearing a hat walked in.
"Hello, Director Ye!" Everyone stood up to greet him.
Director Ye naturally stood beside Jiang Hao, looked at his subordinates, and said, "You all worked hard on this operation, especially Student Jiang Hao. Thank you very much for your report."
Director Ye was all smiles, but inwardly he was as shocked as if his worldview had been refreshed, sensing Jiang Hao's terrifying physique.
"With this physique, I'd believe he's about to advance to the seventh Realm. This talent, no wonder Grandpa Li asked me to look after him a bit."
Thinking about Jiang Hao's spiritual strength that could potentially resist control by seventh Realm Martial Artists.
Director Ye silently swallowed the address 'Little Jiang' he was about to use.
A future Saint-tier big shot! Can't afford to offend.
"Ahem! Originally, the Martial Unification Bureau had prepared a reward for you, Student Jiang. However, Grandpa Li said he would give you a surprise after the National College Entrance Examination. So, I won't embarrass myself."
Don't say that, I really don't mind... Jiang Hao forced a smile; "It's fine, Director Ye. Just letting me enter Battlefield No. 1 earlier would be enough."
"Just kidding, Student Jiang. If you need any martial arts resources, you can tell me. Also, Battlefield No. 29 will reopen, but with a limit on participants."
Jiang Hao thought seriously for a moment and realized he didn't seem to need any resources.
"Then, Director Ye, just give me some life crystals. I plan to enhance my physical fitness a bit."
Director Ye told Jiang Hao: "Your current Realm is too low; life crystals also can't enhance you without limits."
Understood, just like the spiritual reinforcement from killing the 'Soul-Devouring Tree' earlier.
"But since you asked, I can authorize giving you two seventh-level life crystals. These were obtained from recent kills by the Martial Unification Bureau and the military."
"I can probably get them to you on the morning of the 29th."
"Thank you, Director Ye! Director Ye is generous!" Jiang Hao said sincerely.
Two seventh-level crystals are 10,000 points!
After the meal, Jiang Hao was just about to return to the hotel for a good rest.
But then his wristband alerted him to an incoming call from an unknown number. Jiang Hao clicked to answer.
"Hello? Is this Student Jiang Hao?" An old man's voice came through.
"I am the current Principal of Yunxiao Martial Arts School, just call me Principal Li. I'm calling today to invite you to visit Yunxiao Martial Arts School this afternoon."
"If you're free, Student Jiang Hao, you could come and have a look."
Yunxiao Martial Arts School Principal?
Jiang Hao replied: "Hello, Principal Li! This is Jiang Hao. I can come over in the afternoon."
After a moment's thought, he continued: "Principal Li, you're not going to call me over to be a model outstanding student to motivate those students, are you?"
There was silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds.
Hey! You really are calling me to be a model!
Jiang Hao looked speechlessly at the Light Screen and asked:
"I don't really care, but if the seniors and schoolmates get demoralized, don't blame me!"
"Don't worry, Student Jiang Hao. You just need to spar with some students at the school and ultimately defeat them, to make some not-so-bright individuals clearly realize how vast the world is."
"If anyone truly becomes demoralized because of this, it means they aren't cut out for the path of a Martial Artist!"
Jiang Hao grinned: "Then it's best to have a group battle."
"Me alone, against all of them!"
