Chapter 756: Inspector 444, disappearing once again
Early in the morning, Qing Yi walked outside his mansion with a bun in his hand, wearing a Bluetooth headset, “What? Your power level has been promoted again?! Why so fast!”
Li Ke spoke from the other end of the phone, “I had some preparations beforehand, and with Mr. Li Yunjing accompanying me on my travels, protecting me, I was able to let loose.”
Li Ke had completed the second life-and-death challenge and was promoted to E-Class, but he couldn’t tell Qing Yi exactly how he had advanced.
Li Xiurui had personally promised Li Yunjing to free him and even listed him as one of the beneficiaries of the family trust fund, effectively making him a member of the Li Family.
This great expert had spent the first half of his life protecting the old master, and after the old master’s death, he did not leave the Li Family as everyone had imagined, but chose to protect Li Ke instead.
Li Ke had once asked Li Yunjing why he didn’t leave the Li Family to protect his own father, Li Yunshou, knowing that he was the current Master of Li Family.
But Li Yunjing’s response was that he was tired of the view outside Bao Pu Tower, it hadn’t changed for decades, and he wanted to travel.
That’s why he chose Li Ke.
Li Ke had also asked why Li Yunjing didn’t leave?
Was freedom not precious enough to leave the Li Family?
Li Yunjing’s reply was that it was the Li Family that the old master had given up his dreams to protect all his life, and apart from staying with the Li Family, he had nothing else to do.
That Li Yunjing, just like a tree in front of Bao Pu Tower, might not be very tall, but he was unswayed by the wind and unstained by mud.
All this time, Li Ke had been learning from Li Yunjing, learning how to face dangers while training himself to prepare for the life-and-death challenges.
Having an A-Class expert as a Protector was rather rare in the knightly traditions.
This A-Class expert had even been personally commended by Shadow, who stated that he alone could slay Jindai Yunsong, the hope of the Jindai family.
At that time, Shadow had said that Li Yunjing had a pure and resolute mind and was perhaps the most likely person in the Li Family to advance to a Demigod, and it would be a pity to leave the Li Family.
Qing Yi muttered on the phone, “You are now in the southwest, otherwise you could join me to go to Taboo Land No. 065.”
“What are you doing there?” Li Ke asked with a frown.
“Isn’t it just because Shadow went crazy and asked all Shadow Candidates to go there to hunt down B-Class experts of the Jindai family, ” Qing Yi complained, “According to the rules, our Protectors can only be up to C-Class, how can we hunt down B-Class experts!”
Li Ke thought for a moment, “I definitely can’t make it back in time to help you. And I myself am only E-Class, Mr. Li Yunjing is just responsible for protecting me, he wouldn’t listen to my orders to kill people, going there wouldn’t help you. Why don’t you just abandon this mission?”
Qing Yi whispered, “What if I discuss it with the master to help me out? But that would put him in danger, although he is very powerful, he still needs some time before he can participate in a real intense battle.”
Li Ke said, “For such matters, I think you should just tell the master directly and let him decide.”
“Alright,” Qing Yi sighed, “Now I have to go to the wilderness and endure hardship again, probably won’t even have a hot meal.”
Qing Yi, holding his bun, then went to work at Intelligence Department One; he didn’t go to Intelligence Department Three anymore and was very familiar with the people at Intelligence Department One.
After arriving at the office, he saw Qing Chen sitting in the office.
Qing Yi hesitated for a moment before entering and said, “Master, Shadow is asking us to go to Taboo Land No. 065 to hunt down experts from the Jindai family…”
Qing Chen looked at Qing Yi, “Are you worried you can’t cope?”
Qing Yi honestly nodded, “Yes.”
“Don’t worry, I will also go,” Qing Chen said smilingly, “You don’t have to hunt down any Jindai’s experts, just stay safely in the town, let your bodyguard protect you, and I will handle the rest.”
Qing Yi’s eyes lit up, “Master, you are really wonderful!”
At that time, Qing Yi didn’t know yet that the person who had tricked him into going to Taboo Land No.065 was the very master in front of him.
And, this wasn’t really a Shadow-related mission at all, it didn’t matter whether it was completed or not…
When Qing Chen heard Qing Yi say thank you, he even felt a bit unusually embarrassed…
“Go and cultivate, I’ll empower you later,” Qing Chen said guiltily, planning to enhance the young man’s strength before he headed to Taboo Land No. 065.
As they were talking, Yang Xuyang walked in with a liquid crystal panel, “Boss, there’s been a ‘Parents’ Meeting’ in our city recently, should we do something about it?”
Qing Chen asked, “Why would we bother with this Parents’ Meeting?”
Yang Xuyang was stunned for a moment, “I heard it’s quite harmful, spreading like a toxin. The detectives in City 18 are quite troubled by it; apparently, they let a Red-robed Bishop of the Mechanicus escape yesterday.”
Qing Chen seriously said, “Someone cleaning up the Mechanicus, isn’t that a good thing? Let them fight among themselves.”
At this moment, he was already taking sides.
Although Qing Chen said, “Let them fight among themselves,”
this incident would soon be conveyed by Yang Xuyang and soon, what people would care about was that the Inspector didn’t like the Mechanic.”
