Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

"It's best not to make such definitive statements."

"It should be known that a great reputation is never undeserved!"

Even if he's not as good as us.

"But we can't underestimate them either. After all, everyone has some powerful trump cards up their sleeve."

Seeing the disdain in Kong Xinxi's eyes, Chu Aotian also felt that He Li was somewhat inferior to these geniuses from top families who had received various resources for cultivation...

However, they did not underestimate it too much.

Ye Wentian nodded in agreement: "That's right, underestimating others will only lead to losses."

"Anyway, we'll be arriving in Shanghai soon."

"Then He Li should take the initiative to come and greet us."

"When I see him in person then..."

"If you still think he's all talk and no action, why don't you just secretly test him? It's not hard to estimate his strength by observing his reaction."

After he finished speaking, Chu Aotian nodded.

"That's good. After saying so much, why don't we test him when he comes to see us later?"

"Alright!" Kong Xinxi thought for a moment and said, "Then let me test him later. My Kong family's secret technique, combined with spiritual energy, can attack others silently."

"I guarantee he won't even know I've made my move."

"Okay!" The others nodded.

Their eyes were full of cunning.

Although the second young lady of the Kong family is a genius, she seems to be... a little bit brainless?

Why would they be so eager to do something like testing someone?

If He Li were just a pretty face with no substance, that would be one thing.

But what if they're really that good?

I've heard that He Li isn't exactly known for his good temper. Who knows how he might retaliate... Chu Aotian thought to himself, glancing at Zhou Chan and Ye Wentian out of the corner of his eye.

He was absolutely certain that these two people were thinking to themselves that the second young lady of the Kong family was very foolish.

While the four were each lost in their own thoughts...

Unbeknownst to them, Wu Qiu, who had been resting with his eyes closed, had opened them and was now observing them. He listened to their words and a hint of sarcasm appeared on his lips.

What's the point of this test? Have you lost your mind?

Tsk, these young people are really fearless.

They didn't even think about it carefully.

How could He Li, with no background or resources, grow to such a level in such a short time...?

Could they be people without means or strength? The other party is the infamous "Bone-Chewing Yama," known for his ruthlessness. Are these naive second-generation rich kids from Kyoto really that badass towards He Li…?

What's the misunderstanding?

Although Wu Qiu knew very well that these four second-generation rich kids from Kyoto would not have a good outcome if they went to test He Li.

But he made no attempt to offer any reminders.

After all, Zheng Guo had already told him this before he came.

His job is not to be a nanny.

He was there to help He Li find out the situation of the overseas immortal mountains and the journey to the middle realm, and also to ensure He Li's safety. As for these second-generation people from Kyoto...

If they survive, they will surely return with great honor.

What if he dies? Heh.

Wu Qiu shook his head inwardly and sat up.

We've arrived at the Special Bureau of Shanghai!

Click! As the cabin door opened, Wu Qiu and the others could see from afar that the sky above the city was filled with countless people moving back and forth in an orderly fashion.

Countless breaths of Qi, some strong, some weak, some hot, some cold, some sharp, some heavy, permeated the entire city.

The moment I stepped off the plane and landed...

The air felt heavier.

Wu Qiu was slightly surprised by this situation. The second-generation rich kids from Kyoto seemed to be feeling unwell, their faces turning slightly pale, much like those who were carsick.

However, the temporary investigators from Shanghai who were already waiting nearby were very considerate.

I noticed their expressions weren't quite right.

They walked forward with smiles on their faces...

"Take a deep breath, don't panic."

"This is how it is when you first arrive in Shanghai. After all, because of the recruitment order, there are far too many powerful people gathered here, and the power of various strong martial artists and supernatural beings is intertwined here..."

"Those messy energy fields, qi fields, qi breaths and other such things do indeed affect the environment."

"Many people will feel uncomfortable."

"But it will get better if you stay here a little longer."

As they spoke, Wu Qiu nodded slightly.

The four second-generation Kyoto residents behind them, after a brief moment of adjustment, looked around and frowned: "Hmm? What's going on? Are you the only ones who greeted us?"

Ye Wentian then spoke.

The temporary workers were unhappy to hear this.

"What else? What other specifications do you want?"

The young temporary worker in the lead curled his lip.

Seeing this, Ye Wentian was somewhat annoyed. But then, noticing Chu Aotian's unfriendly expression, Chu Aotian suddenly blocked Ye Wentian's path, eyeing the temporary worker in charge with suspicion…

"You...you are Zhang Taixu, the Little Sword God of Wudang?"

He stared at the other person and asked tentatively.

The latter was taken aback, then nodded: "Oh? You recognize me? Not many people recognize me."

"I haven't been in the limelight all these years..."

"I've seen you before!" Chu Aotian exclaimed in surprise, "You... how come you're working here as a temporary worker? You're no less capable than us, you should have been directly..."

"Alright!" Zhang Taixu interrupted impatiently.

"No need for that nonsense."

Ignoring the increasingly hostile expressions on the faces of the other three behind Chu Aotian, Zhang Taixu continued, "The bureau just sent a message instructing you to go see Brother Li immediately after arriving at the airport."

"He's waiting for you at the lighthouse on the north shore!"

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Wu doesn't need to go."

"We will arrange accommodation for you. You can rest and recover before you go to the sacred mountain."

After saying that, Zhang Taixu completely ignored Ye Wentian and the other two, who were about to lose their temper. He left someone to lead the way for Chu Aotian and the others, and then signaled Wu Qiu to leave with them.

Seeing them completely gone...

Left standing there, Ye Wentian, furious, finally couldn't hold back and shouted, "Is this how he treats us? Has he forgotten who we are?"

"Why shouldn't he personally receive them...?"

"It doesn't even have any decent specifications."

"They just send in a few temporary workers, tell us, and that's it???"

"How much does he look down on us?"

"When have we, as Kyoto's top geniuses, ever been treated like this?"

After he finished speaking, Kong Xinxi coldly replied, "Let's go, stop talking nonsense here. Didn't he want us to see him? Then let's go see him ourselves!"

"He had better be able to give me a reasonable explanation."

"Otherwise, I'll let him see..."

"The price of underestimating us!!!"

After saying that, the two quickly followed the directions given by the person left behind by Zhang Taixu toward He Li's location. Chu Aotian and Zhou Chan, seeing this, also suppressed their anger and quickly followed.

On the way, Zhou Chan couldn't help but ask about Zhang Taixu.

Chu Aotian simply said, "I met Zhang Taixu on Mount Wudang five years ago."

"He's very skilled; his swordsmanship is superb."

"Back then, I was practically unbeatable at Wudang."

"That person's talent is definitely no less than yours or mine."

"But then I heard nothing from him. I never imagined that this recruitment notice would actually bring him here, and... he's even working here as a temporary worker?"

"I don't know what he was thinking..."

Chu Aotian didn't say anything more.

Although Zhou Chan was curious, she didn't ask any further questions.

Compared to Zhang Taixu, they now wanted to see He Li, the one who looked down on them and was unwilling to greet them personally or even give them a welcoming ceremony.

Let's see where he gets the audacity to treat these top geniuses like this!

With that in mind, the four of them sped up.

They were all experts at the Profound Knowledge Realm.

They were naturally able to move off the ground, and in just a short while, they had arrived at the lighthouse on the north coast of the east coast. He Li was calmly standing on the lighthouse, looking down at them...

Looking at He Li, whose golden eyes were majestic and exuded an aura of nobility and oppression, I saw him standing on the lighthouse.

A sense of fear suddenly arose in the hearts of the four.

However, he is, after all, a genius from Kyoto.

The inexplicable fear that arose was quickly suppressed by them, and they stared coldly at He Li. Kong Xinxi, who had long been dissatisfied with He Li, spoke with a face full of anger...

"So you are He Li?"

Why didn't you greet us personally?

"They're just sending temporary workers?"

"They even had them notify us, expecting us top geniuses from Kyoto's elite families to lower ourselves and come see you? Who do you think you are..."

boom!!!

Before she could finish speaking, Kong Xinxi, along with the three cold-faced men behind her, were instantly pressed down by an invisible force, which then shoved them into the sand...

It's inlaid extremely deep!

"Genius? Ha!"

"Genius is merely the threshold to my door!"

"If he weren't a genius..."

"Do you think you're even worthy to see me?"
