Chapter 176: Becoming An Attendant

Translator: Myuu Editor: Myuu

There were still many people queuing up outside the Patrol Inspector’s manor. Each of them was holding their na card while they waited for their turn to have an audience with the Patrol Inspector.

The last ti Yan Liqiang was here, this was what it looked like. Little did he expect that the situation outside of the manor still hadn’t changed in the slightest during his visit this ti.

The people waiting outside the manor were well dressed as wealthy and respectable individuals. Such scenery had pretty much beco a norm in Pingxi City.

Did the Patrol Inspector co to Pingxi City just to et all sorts of people every day? Was he not going to explore the city to observe the condition of the people here?

Yan Liqiang secretly muttered to himself as he questioned the Patrol Inspector’s way of thinking.

Everyone in the queue was staring at Yan Liqiang in a strange way because Yan Liqiang’s presence here was simply too eye-catching — it was ridiculous to see a fourteen or fifteen years old youth requesting for an audience with the Patrol Inspector. Did this youth think that just anyone could et the Patrol Inspector? Many people who had been waiting here for a few days still hadn’t gotten a chance to et the Patrol Inspector yet. Just which clan was this youth from? He was being rather insensible.

Many people started sneering at Yan Liqiang.

After waiting for only a brief mont, a receiving attendant ca out from the manor’s entrance and started scanning around.

At the sight of the attendant, several dozen people who were waiting outside instantly sward around him. Like goldfish in pond realizing that soone was feeding them, they flocked to the attendant with big rotten smiles on their faces before they all started talking at once.

“Is the Patrol Inspector going to et now?”

“I submitted my visitor na card yesterday, it must be my turn now!”

“Sir, please make an exception for , I greatly admire Lord Sun...”

“Yan Liqiang, which one of you is Yan Liqiang?” The receiving attendant scanned around, then looked past the crowd as he shouted his question.

Yan Liqiang? Who is Yan Liqiang?

The people gathered at the entrance looked at each other in dismay as they searched for the said person among the crowd. To them, this na was simply unheard of.

When the crowd fell silent, a voice rang out from behind. “I am here!”

The crowd gathered in front instantly parted to create a path when they heard the voice. They saw Yan Liqiang calmly smooth out his clothes before he stepped forward from the back.

A smile instantly cracked across the previously stoic face of that receiving attendant. “Follow ! Lord Sun is very pleased to know that you’ve arrived and is expecting you!”

Everyone was flabbergasted as soon as they heard this. Just who was that youth who could keep the Patrol Inspector waiting for him?

Yan Liqiang only nodded before he went up the steps and entered the manor under the lead of the receiving attendant.

After Yan Liqiang entered the manor, discussions imdiately broke out behind him. Officers and people from wealthy and influential clans had already beckoned forth their stewards and whispered to them their orders, allowing the servants to investigate the background of this youth nad Yan Liqiang.

Finding himself inside the manor once again, Yan Liqiang discovered that Sun Bingchen wasn’t going to et him in the sa drawing room. Instead, it was in another reception pavilion in the garden which seed to be a much more casual and private venue.

As soon as Yan Liqiang arrived at the reception pavilion, he spotted Sun Bingchen sitting on a chair as he looked at him with a smile. The Patrol Inspector’s overwhelming aura was less intense than the first ti he had t him. Even so, he still felt as though Lord Sun could see through him whenever he glanced at him.

“Greetings, Lord Sun!”

Sun Bingchen smiled and gestured for Yan Liqiang to take a seat. “How did it go? You returned ho for a few days. What was your father’s opinion?”

“My father back ho is supportive of in following you around to serve you, Sir!”

“What is your decision then?”

“There’s still sothing I don’t quite understand and wish to ask you directly, Sir!” Yan Liqiang spoke calmly.

“Don’t worry about it, go ahead and ask!”

“I don’t really have any outstanding abilities and I have only but ager strength. If Lord Sun wished to recruit a personal attendant, countless experts and powerful individuals would line up outside to wait for you to choose them as soon as the word got out. Why have you chosen , Sir?”

Sun Bingchen laughed and shook his head instead. “There’s no need to be humble, Liqiang. In my eyes, the so-called ability is not limited to only swords and sabers. For soone in my position, it is indeed not difficult for to seek help from experts if I need to, and I don’t lack such people around either. However, I have yet to et many highly observant people with such highly retentive mory like you, Liqiang. Most importantly, it was even rarer to find a youth with a great deal of potential like you who hasn’t been tainted by any bad practices of those from the bureaucracy and influential clans. With your untainted background, I can employ you without any worries. That day when you discovered the Shatu man in disguise, you not only tailed him all the way, but you also managed to make a firm decision at the end of it. Your courage, astuteness, and sense of justice are what I truly admire. I hope my answer can satisfy you, Liqiang!”

Upon hearing all this from Sun Bingchen, even Yan Liqiang felt a little embarrassed. “I am rely an average student from the martial arts academy who has a little bit of luck. I can’t possibly afford to be thought of so highly by you, Sir!”

“How can an average student from the martial arts academy possibly receive teachings from a deity about performing moxibustion on the navel to save drowning people in his dreams and even impart such knowledge to others so selflessly instead of keeping it to yourself? Such actions are indeed praiseworthy!”

Yan Liqiang didn’t expect Lord Sun to even find out about this. It seed like he had really spent so effort in asking around about him. “Well, I just thought that was what I was supposed to do. Since I was fortunate enough to gain knowledge of that life-saving thod, I should impart the knowledge to more people so that many more lives can be saved. I never really thought about reaping any benefits for myself out of that thod!”

Sun Bingchen exclaid with astonishnt, “I heard that over the past six months, the thod you imparted saved countless drowned victims in Pingxi Prefecture. Not only that, the thod has reached neighboring counties and prefectures. For that incident alone, you have made an imasurable contribution to mankind, and that is really admirable. If so young lord from a wealthy clan had done the sa thing, then his reputation would have resonated across the entire Great Han Empire by now. Not only that, he could also expect to be promoted as an officer, or at least be made into a squire, and have a morial archway gate constructed for his contribution to have his reputation spread far and wide. Liqiang, you were born in an ordinary clan without any backing. Even if you have done sothing like this, the fact that you remained silent and unnoticed in your village is truly a regretful tale. As a Patrol Inspector, it is my duty to nurture individuals with potential for my nation. It is definitely more than enough for you to stay by my side and serve as my personal attendant, Liqiang!”

Sun Bingchen’s words were the truth. Even so, Yan Liqiang had nothing to complain about. Regardless of this world or his previous world, everything was the sa. Most of the ti, an individual’s family and background determined many things. The sa achievent achieved by different people with different family backgrounds would lead to different outcos.

Yan Liqiang imdiately stood up and gave Sun Bingchen another bow. “Thank you for your support and recognition, Sir. From today onwards, Liqiang will be at your service!” he said solemnly.

“Good, sit down. You will follow around for these few days first. By the ti we reach the Imperial Capital, I will co up with your official rank!” Sun Bingcheng looked at Yan Liqiang with a smile while stroking his beard. “An attendant holds a military title, which is also ranked. Your rank shall be Ard Battalion Commandant of Rank Eight Secondary Class for now. What do you think?”

“I am fine with your decision, Sir!”

Sun Bingchen nodded, then yelled at the door. “Yijie!”

“Sir!” A young man ca in and bowed to Sun Bingchen.

Sun Bingchen pointed at Yan Liqiang. “From today onward, Liqiang will be my personal attendant. Show him the ropes!” After giving his order, he looked at Yan Liqiang again. “Yijie has followed around for years. He is both my attendant and also the leader of my personal bodyguards. He used to be in the military and is actually a Huwei Commandant of Rank Five Standard Class. Therefore, you may ask him for guidance should you run into any problems, including any doubts in your cultivation!”

Yan Liqiang nodded, then threw a glance at the person nad Yijie. Likewise, that person also threw a glance at Yan Liqiang and nodded to him — his eyes were shining.

This wasn’t the first ti Yan Liqiang had seen him. During his last visit, this person was the one who brought him, Shi Dafeng, and Shen Teng to et Sun Bingcheng. Judging from his aura alone, this person was definitely an expert. Or at least, Yan Liqiang sensed that he was more powerful than Shi Changfeng, and even his aura was more intense...
