Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

"You have made tremendous contributions to the country, and the country will never fail to reward any meritorious person."

"We will do our best to fulfill any legal and reasonable request you may have!"

"You can tell me anything you want."

Shen Qingtong spoke politely.

"Well..." Yang Xian picked up the teacup and gently blew on the tea leaves floating on the surface.

After leaving the interrogation room, he kept thinking about this question.

compensate?

I feel like I have everything I need right now.

In terms of life, my parents are healthy and my family is harmonious. Although the house is a bit small, it is cozy.

Not to mention the Jiang family's dowry of hundreds of millions in the future!

With the system as an incredible cheat code in cultivation, there's no need to worry about techniques or leveling up.

The only resource-intensive thing is the food for the two little guys, Feng and Ling.

However, this issue was resolved long ago.

Although they failed to snatch the "Nine-Turn Life-Extending Lotus" on their last trip up the mountain, the reward promised by the military is still valid and will be enough for Feng and Ling to eat for quite some time.

After thinking it over, it seems there's really nothing I particularly need.

On the contrary, some unresolved troubles kept weighing on his mind.

Yang Xian put down his teacup and slowly began to speak:

"General Shen, my request is not much..."

"First, I hope the military can help me investigate an organization called the 'Glory Society,' and also... find a man named Bai Hong, who is Bai Chuyi's father."

Even now, he still doesn't understand why the "Glory Society" kidnapped Xiaobai.

What exactly are these so-called "experimental subjects" they're talking about?

Is it really just because of Xiaobai's SS-level talent?

What puzzled him even more was how Bai Shu, an ordinary person, could be involved with such a mysterious and dangerous organization as the "Glory Society".

"The Glory Society?"

Shen Qingtong paused, "Why are you investigating those lunatics?"

Yang Xian didn't hide anything: "This organization seems to be after one of my friends. I want to get to the bottom of them completely, and ideally... eradicate them entirely."

The "Glory Society" is like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows; as long as it remains unpunished, Yang Xian will never have peace of mind.

He had previously asked Jiang Mengyun to help with the investigation, but he could only find out some superficial information.

Perhaps we can get completely different information from the official sources.

"Okay, I promise you." Shen Qingtong said almost without hesitation. "I will let you know as soon as I have any news."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Is there anything else you need? Please tell me all at once."

"Then..." Yang Xian thought for a moment, then said, "Help me find another missing girl, her name is Qin Si."

Jiang Mengyun once told him that the reason Jiang Yu joined the Jiang family was to use the Jiang family's power to find his sister who had been missing for many years.

Unfortunately, so many years have passed and there has been no news of them.

Both the Jiang family and Jiang Yu had helped him a lot, and he always remembered their kindness.

With his current abilities, he is not yet able to repay the entire Jiang family, but he can still do his brother Jiang Yu a small favor.

After saying that, Yang Xian nodded, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.

"Okay, that's all."

"That's... all?" Shen Qingtong was completely stunned.

He had prepared a whole host of compensation plans.

From exorbitant cash rewards to luxury villas in prime downtown locations... to top-tier cultivation resources that even money can't buy in the military, and even special positions that can elevate ordinary people to the top in one step.

And the result? That's it?

Investigate a terrorist organization, then find two more people?

What kind of compensation is this!

"Comrade Yang Xian, are you...are you sure you don't want anything else?" Shen Qingtong couldn't help but ask.

"No need!" Yang Xian said seriously. "The country is facing difficulties right now, and I don't want to cause any more trouble for it."

Shen Qingtong was completely speechless. Looking at the young man's clear and composed demeanor, he felt a mix of emotions.

He had seen too many exceptionally talented martial artists who, after achieving some success, made insatiable demands on the military and the state.

He still vividly remembers those greedy faces.

But this young man in front of me...

He handed over three divine-level cultivation techniques, but all his requests were for the benefit of others.

Only someone like that could walk the path of martial arts so purely and so quickly.

"Oh, right, Comrade Yang Xian," Shen Qingtong suddenly remembered something else, "regarding your cooperation talks with the Boundary Wolf Clan, I think... maybe we should just forget about it."

"For your safety, unless it's absolutely necessary, you should try not to leave the city."

Compared to cooperation within the secret realm, Yang Xian's personal safety is of paramount importance.

If he were to get hurt in the secret realm, the loss would be enormous.

Even if the cooperation ultimately falls through, we can simply pretend it never happened.

All future strategic plans for Nanhai City will be re-planned around Yang Xian, this "human-shaped national treasure".

"No, no!" Yang Xian immediately shook his head:

"That won't do! Without me as your translator, it will be very difficult to continue negotiations between the two races."

"Don't worry, with my strength, even if I can't win in the secret realm, I can still escape."

"But..." Shen Qingtong was still worried.

Martial artists of the fourth realm or above cannot pass through the spatial passage, which means that Yang Xian will lose the close protection of high-realm martial artists after entering the secret realm.

If the cooperation fails, who knows what crazy things those monsters might do if they turn their backs on us?

"I did promise the Wolf Clan Chief," Yang Xian said, sitting up straight with a resolute attitude.

"Besides, I also have to take my contracted beasts back to their clan this time."

"General Shen, consider this a request of mine."

He remembered that Ling had mentioned a few days ago that she wanted to go back to her clan to complete a very important matter, and insisted that he accompany her back.

Seeing Yang Xian's resolute expression, Shen Qingtong finally sighed:

"All right."

"But you must promise me that you will retreat immediately if there is any danger!"

Your safety is paramount!

------

Meanwhile, at the Luo family.

"Has the clan chief not come out yet?"

Luo Quan paced anxiously back and forth at the entrance of the reception room, his voice trembling with barely suppressed anger. "I have something extremely important to report to him! If this is delayed, can you bear the responsibility?"

A guard bowed slightly, but his tone was neither humble nor arrogant:

"Lord Luo Quan, please don't be anxious. The clan chief is attending a very important remote meeting, and he has instructed that no one should disturb him."

"Don't worry, as soon as the clan chief finishes the meeting, I will inform him of your visit immediately."

The guard was polite on the surface, but he was secretly sneering.

What's with all the yelling?!

You're just a nobody from a fallen branch of the family. If it weren't for the fact that you gave birth to a martial arts daughter who can get pregnant, and was valued by the family head, you'd be a valuable member of the clan.

Do you think you have the right to stand here and yell at me?
