Chapter 567: Chapter 566 Tong Yunshu Also Arrives
"Uh~~"
Hu Lizhong felt an inexplicable pressure.
The young man, in his twenties, just looked at him. Although his gaze was normal and his breathing even, without deliberately releasing any aura, Hu had once tried to sense the legendary powerful aura from him but found nothing.
Yet, Hu Lizhong firmly believed in the old saying, "No one under a renowned na is diocre." Thus, although he harbored so ’unseen doubts’ about the young man’s strength, he dared not underestimate him deep inside.
After a slight pause, Hu Lizhong gave a very sincere and fair answer, "Qin Yanyang beca famous at a young age, a legend in the Divine Continent Martial World. To this day, she has broken through to the Innate Realm at the age of just over twenty. Coupled with her outstanding personal abilities and the strong backing of the Qin Family behind her, I think there is no problem with her serving as the acting Minister of the Military Departnt. It’s just that, compared to most people, her age is indeed too young, and her experience... well, her experience is also passable, but not enough to convince everyone."
"What is your personal view on this matter?" asked Yang Fei.
After a mont of thought, Hu Lizhong said, "I firmly obey the decisions from above, and I personally have a great admiration for Minister Qin. I was far inferior to her when I was her age. Moreover, the Zhang Family was completely overthrown under her leadership. She has made great contributions to the state and the nation, and many in the Military Departnt respect her."
Yang Fei felt proud and said, "So, looking at the big picture, my wife still has a strong control over the Military Departnt, right?"
Hu Lizhong nodded and said, "Yes, especially after this major purification, her prestige in the departnt is the highest."
Yang Fei understood.
He looked at Hu Lizhong and said, "The man in the testing room earlier, who had comparable strength to you, seed sowhat disrespectful towards my wife."
Hu Lizhong’s eyelid twitched, and he coughed dryly, "Who are you referring to? There were many people in the testing room at that ti. They all showed quite a bit of respect to Minister Qin, no one..."
"You are at the Peak of Energy Transformation Realm Ninth Grade, with a unique deanor, one of a kind in terms of power I’ve seen, and there was only one other person there who possessed your kind of deanor," said Yang Fei, looking at Hu Lizhong.
This Brother Hu wanted to smooth things over; they were all sharp people.
Hu Lizhong was secretly alard.
Yang Fei’s gaze was sharp, but Hu couldn’t sense any fluctuation of True Qi from him, making him seem like an ordinary person with no knowledge of martial arts.
Yet, when Yang Fei stared at him, it gave him an illusion that there was nowhere to hide.
This bizarre montum was truly annoying.
With a sigh in his heart, Hu Lizhong, facing Yang Fei’s sharp gaze, could only say, "Oh, you an Old Chu."
"His na is Chu Wenshu, from the Chu Family." Hu Lizhong said while observing Yang Fei’s expression.
Seeing no emotional changes in Yang Fei, Hu was sowhat baffled.
Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to understand?
The Chu Family, one of the three major families of the Divine Continent Military Departnt, truly a pillar of the state, a stabilizer.
"Chu Wenshu," Yang Fei muttered the na, committing it to mory.
He then asked Hu Lizhong, "Is the Chu Family very powerful?"
Seeing the questioning look in Yang Fei’s eyes, Hu Lizhong realized this guy really didn’t know about the Chu Family, and hesitantly counter-asked, "Minister Qin hasn’t ntioned these matters to you?"
Yang Fei shook his head, "My wife is very principled. Before I joined the Military Departnt, she maintained confidentiality about these matters very well, to an astonishing degree."
Hu Lizhong hurriedly said, "I see. So, Little Brother Yang, what are we doing here, ah, I didn’t eat this morning, the cafeteria at Binhai University has good food, why don’t we eat sothing first?"
Seeing him dodge the topic, Yang Fei simply smiled and said, "Sure, let’s eat first."
Now that Hu Lizhong was out handling matters with him, there was no way he could escape from Yang Fei’s hands.
He was confident that Brother Hu would soon be utterly candid with him.
In the cafeteria of Binhai University, Yang Fei and Hu Lizhong sat on the first floor, with Hu saying while eating, "How is it, the food here is pretty good, right?"
Yang Fei nodded, "It’s quite good. I used to co here often to eat, my sister studies here."
Hu Lizhong was surprised, "Oh, what a coincidence."
Yang Fei humd and continued eating.
Suddenly, Yang Fei sensed soone staring at him. He looked up and saw a handso man with brown hair and blue eyes looking at him from a distance of about ten ters away.
Noticing that he was discovered, the foreign man nodded and smiled politely at him.
Yang Fei also nodded, then saw the other person lower their head to focus on eating.
Interesting!
Yang Fei also lowered his head to continue eating, but the corners of his mouth curved upward slightly.
Although the other party hid it quickly, Yang Fei was certain that he had sensed a slight fluctuation of power from them just now.
This is a Western Cultivator.
Was he coming for ?
Or was he coming for the laboratory the Military Departnt operated here?
Perhaps I’m overthinking it.
Yang Fei shook his head to dispel the thought and paid it no more attention.
With nurous experts in the Military Departnt, this Western Cultivator seed capable, but trying to infiltrate the Military Departnt’s laboratory would be a suicide mission.
After eating, Hu Lizhong asked, "Little Brother Yang, Minister Qin has asked
to cooperate with you, but the problem is, I still don’t know what we’re supposed to do."
Yang Fei smiled at his question and asked, "Brother Hu, where is your current residence?"
Hu Lizhong was startled and asked, "Which ho are you referring to, my ancestral ho or my current place of residence?"
"Your current place of residence," Yang Fei said.
Hu Lizhong looked at him puzzledly and replied, "I currently reside in Binhai."
"Are your family mbers also with you?"
"No, they’re in my ancestral ho in Jiangbei," Hu Lizhong replied.
Hearing this, Yang Fei chuckled—his wife really was ticulous.
He had only given her a few general directions, yet she had almost pinpointed the area and assigned him soone local as a guide.
"Brother Hu, how long has it been since you last returned to your ancestral ho?" Yang Fei asked.
Hu Lizhong looked even more puzzled. "It’s been a while. Why do you ask these questions?"
Yang Fei smiled and said, "We’re going to Bear Mountain in Jiangbei. I’m not sure how close it is to Brother Hu’s ancestral ho, but you might have a chance to visit your wife and kids while we’re there."
Hu Lizhong expressed his surprise, "Going to Bear Mountain? What for?"
Yang Fei said, "To find sothing."
Hu Lizhong asked what they were looking for, but Yang Fei remained tight-lipped, simply saying they would know once they got there. Understanding Yang Fei’s temperant by now, Hu Lizhong knew further questioning would be futile and didn’t ask further.
Although Bear Mountain was in Jiangbei, the area was far from the Jiangbei Zhu Family.
The Zhu Family resided in the provincial city, while Bear Mountain was situated in the remote northwest, hence Yang Fei didn’t plan on alerting the Zhu Family to his visit this ti.
The two of them purchased plane tickets that sa afternoon and had arrived in the city where Bear Mountain was located by evening. Since they were not in a rush, they decided to stay in the city first.
What Yang Fei didn’t know was that, just as he and Hu Lizhong had left the airport, Tong Yunshu’s private plane had landed there.
After the plane stabilized, Qin Hu, who had been pretending to sleep ever since he boarded the plane, glanced at Tong Yunshu and decided to approach her gently, saying, "Miss, we’ve arrived at Bear Mountain City."
A mont later, Tong Yunshu opened her eyes.
Qin Hu felt a chill in his heart.
In the recent months, since the Tong Family had encountered a huge upheaval, he had noticed that the Miss was becoming increasingly different.
Especially lately, she seed to fall into a ’deep sleep’ often, and every ti she opened her eyes afterward, she gave him a different sensation.
He felt that her gaze was initially very sharp, then it beca profound, as if she could see through everyone’s thoughts and pierce through everything in the world.
As the Miss’s loyal guard, Qin Hu increasingly had a ridiculous illusion—it seed that if real trouble were to arise, it might not be him protecting the Miss, but rather the Miss protecting him.
"Has Tong Jinchuan arrived yet? That patch of dicine Land is crucial to our Tong Family; how could he almost lose the right to manage it?" Tong Yunshu asked with an icy tone.
