Chapter 393: Chapter 372: Too Blunt
The next day!
After lunch, Zhang Miaomiao sat on the bed, looking bored, and said to Bai Xiaoling who was on the floor, "Xiaoling, is the Chief Advisor always like this? I an, not really into socializing!"
From morning till now, Chen Shouyi hadn’t shown up. She’d gone to his room several tis, only to find him training each ti.
She didn’t want to disturb him, which dashed Zhang Miaomiao’s hopes of getting to know Chen Shouyi during this ti.
"Miaomiao, don’t worry, the Chief Advisor is always like this. He trains in another world every day. You won’t see him until the evening," Bai Xiaoling said, feeling secretly pleased.
My Chen Shouyi isn’t soone who can be seduced by a flirtatious woman like you.
A pot-bellied middle-aged man beside them chuckled and said, "This Chief Advisor you’re talking about must be a great Martial Artist. For people like him, nothing matters but Martial Arts. Otherwise, they wouldn’t beco a great Martial Artist."
Sharing a room with two beautiful ladies and having a chat sure makes the dull journey pleasant.
"Every great Martial Artist has their own personality, not all are the sa," said another middle-aged man in the sa compartnt, who was fit and agile. "I’m more easy-going. Which compartnt is he in? I’d like to et him and have a chat."
The chubby middle-aged man was surprised, not expecting that there were hidden talents along the journey, and was about to flatter them. Just then, Bai Xiaoling casually said:
"The Chief Advisor is a Martial Artist!"
Can a great Martial Artist even compare to a strand of my Chen Shouyi’s hair?
Even a Martial Artist can’t compare to a strand of my Chen Shouyi’s hair!
No matter how strong, can they compare to my Chen Shouyi in looks?
The atmosphere suddenly went silent!
The chubby middle-aged man was dumbfounded: "Martial... Martial Artist!"
The great Martial Artist was shocked too, secretly relieved that he hadn’t boasted.
I hope that wasn’t considered bragging just now?
He then cautiously asked, "Is the senior here on a mission? If it’s confidential, never mind."
"It’s not confidential. The Chief Advisor killed a Demigod and needs to go to the Capital City to receive a national award. We’re just his entourage," Bai Xiaoling said, looking at everyone like a fox pretending to be a tiger.
There’s nothing to hide, it’s an honorable thing.
My Chen Shouyi is just that amazing!
As Chen Shouyi’s liaison officer and secretary, she felt proud.
She even felt a bit inflated now!
The great Martial Artist was stunned, unable to believe it.
A Demigod is a godlike nightmare of an existence.
To a human Martial Artist, they might as well be ants in front of such an entity.
How could they be killed so easily!
If it were, his province wouldn’t have resorted to a nuclear strike in the end to deal with a Demigod.
He wanted to question it but wisely kept silent even if the girl was exaggerating. At least this Chief Advisor was indeed a Martial Artist.
By evening, he finally saw the legendary Chief Advisor.
Very young and so handso it’s unrealistic.
Two won surrounded him enthusiastically, fawning over him.
To be honest, he secretly despised it.
What use is it for a man to be this handso?
Can you eat it?
Just as he was ntally grumbling, the other party suddenly looked over.
The next mont, he felt an overwhelming pressure surging toward him. His body tensed up, goosebumps rising everywhere as he forced a smile.
The other party smiled, and the pressure quickly dissipated as if it were an illusion, then shifted his gaze away.
"Whew!"
He breathed a sigh of relief, realizing his back was drenched with sweat.
...
Along the way, there were many traces of war. Villages reduced to ruins and even entire cities were visible.
This railway, an artery of transportation, had clearly undergone repeated destruction and repair.
Since boarding the train, the Shell Lady had been crouched by the window, peeking cautiously through the curtains, watching the world with curiosity, occasionally exclaiming in astonishnt.
This shocking and new world hit her with a strong emotional impact.
"Great Giant, look, is that a big kitty?"
"Uh-huh!" Chen Shouyi glanced at a small cat on the distant path and nodded.
"Will it eat the little one?" the Shell Lady asked.
"Yes!" Chen Shouyi thought for a mont and said.
Cats are the fiercest.
If a cat caught the Shell Lady, Chen Shouyi wasn’t sure if it would eat her but would definitely play her to death.
Soon after, she exclaid again, "Great Giant, look, is that a big rooster?"
"Yes!"
"Will it eat the little one?"
"Yes!"
This one is even fiercer, it really might eat the Shell Lady.
Whenever she saw an animal or sothing new after that, she would shout, her eyes gleaming in excitent even late at night.
Chen Shouyi found it imnsely annoying.
Eventually, he chose to ignore her entirely.
After spending two nights and a day on the train, mostly in training, they finally reached the Capital City by noon on the second day.
The three of them walked out of the train station.
They saw soone already waiting outside.
A man and a woman holding signs with Chen Shouyi’s na on them were waiting at the station’s exit.
The three of them went over and introduced themselves.
"Hello, Mr. Chen. We’ve long awaited you. I’m Sun Jianhua from the Martial Arts Bureau and this is Qian Feiyan from the Rapid Response Unit."
Martial Arts Bureau?
This is the highest authority managing Martial Artists, a departnt at the ministerial level.
Chen Shouyi hadn’t heard of the Rapid Response Unit, but it seed to be another Martial Artist Departnt.
"Hello!" Chen Shouyi shook hands with them one by one. "Sorry, the train was delayed."
Qian Feiyan jumped in, "Mr. Chen, there’s still ti. Would you like to go to the hotel or visit our place? Our Rapid Response Unit is fully equipped with training facilities and there’s a Spatial Passage beside us. Many Martial Artists like to train there; you could all exchange experiences."
Zhang Miaomiao imdiately beca alert upon hearing this and stepped forward bluntly, "No need to go to your place. You’re not the reception, right? The Chief Advisor has been on the train for two days and is already tired. Let’s head to the hotel first!"
Hearing it wasn’t the reception, Chen Shouyi lost interest and asked Sun Jianhua, "When can I collect the reward?"
Sun Jianhua froze for a mont. Although aware of the directness of Martial Artists, this one was too direct, without a hint of subtlety:
"Well... the exact award ceremony is arranged for two days later, with important leaders attending. You don’t have an official national Martial Artist certification yet, do you? How about tomorrow we make ti for the certification, if you find it suitable?"
Chen Shouyi nodded, "Sure, no problem. Let’s head to the hotel first, then."
