Atlas of Heaven and Man

On Gong Zhanyi's side, seeing the people from the Bureau walking over, he sat back in his car and had the steward go up to handle the interaction.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the steward returned and got into the car, saying to him, "Young Lord, they really only came for Xiong Jianyi. This subordinate already told them that we didn't know there was a wanted criminal here, and later we were afraid he would harm you, Young Lord, so we chose to shoot him dead."

Gong Zhanyi asked, "As long as we explained it. Let's continue on."

Waiting for the convoy to start again, after a few minutes, he spoke again, "Who shot Xiong Jianyi dead?"

The steward was looking at something with his Realm Token, and after a moment replied, "Young Lord, it was Zuo San. He fired the shot that hit Xiong Jianyi's head."

Gong Zhanyi said, "Good, that's good. It's good that it was one of our people." His expression suddenly relaxed a little. "It's not a bad thing that Xiong Jianyi is dead now. They probably won't pay attention to us anymore."

The steward said, "The Bureau will probably still be watching us. Just now, their people told us that we are also suspected of trying to harm their team members by shooting Xiong Jianyi dead. We are responsible for this matter."

Gong Zhanyi thought for a moment and said, "Give the Bureau some compensation and suppress this matter, so they don't use this as an excuse to keep an eye on us. You can talk to them later."

The steward respectfully acknowledged.

On the other side, Ni Qianqian quickly received the news. She immediately contacted the Bureau, and said triumphantly, "Little Chen successfully completed the mission this time. What do you think? I told you he could do it."

The person on the other end said, "Take a look at this first."

Ni Qianqian sent over the image. She glanced at it and found that it was full of explosive drugs, and all of them had been taken. She was also surprised. "Could it be that he..."

"Yes, he took them all."

Ni Qianqian said in surprise, "But I don't see anything wrong with him."

The person on the other end said, "From the current point of view, he's fine. This only means that his physique can adapt to these drugs, but this is not a good thing. Just because he's fine now doesn't mean he'll be fine in the future. You have to remind him to be careful in the future and not to work so hard."

"Oh, is the sun rising in the west? You're actually concerned about a newcomer?"

The person on the other end said in a deep voice, "He's willing to put in so much effort at all costs, which means he identifies with us. That makes him a comrade, so of course we have to take care of him."

Ni Qianqian said, "So, he passed the Bureau's assessment?"

"Although I didn't see his specific performance because of the field interference, judging from the results, it's excellent enough."

Ni Qianqian hummed twice and said, "I said he was better than the other two trainees we invested in, but you didn't believe me. If you ask me, the Bureau's investment should focus on him next. The other two trainees didn't perform as well as Little Chen."

The person on the other end didn't respond to this, only saying, "You explain the follow-up matters to him. Let's leave it at that for now."

After leaving the interception point, Chen Chuan was also recalling the battle just now.

In terms of strength, Xiong Jianyi was actually not as good as Teacher Wu. He should have just entered the Third Threshold not long ago. In that case, he could have killed him in a few moves with his full power.

However, in the competition just now, he felt a trace of strangeness. It seemed that Xiong Jianyi was injured, so he couldn't let go. Even without the injury, the ending would not have changed, but the intensity of the counterattack might have been great.

But the problem is that for a Third Threshold combatant, ordinary injuries would not have much impact. Even if he had just entered the Third Threshold not long ago, it would have to be serious to a certain extent to affect combat effectiveness.

But Xiong Jianyi clearly looked intact. Was it an internal injury? Or was it related to the illusion of virtualization he felt at the end?

While he was thinking, he heard a notification sound. He discovered that perhaps he had left the interference zone, and the Realm Token had returned to normal. Wu Bei and Ni Qianqian were both trying to contact him.

He first greeted Wu Bei, and then connected Ni Qianqian.

Ni Qianqian said in a praising tone, "I knew you could do it, Little Chen. You took care of Xiong Jianyi in such a short time. Well done!"

Chen Chuan said, "Xiong Jianyi was ultimately killed by the Gong family."

Ni Qianqian said, "I already know. The Gong family finished him off because they wanted to quickly clear their relationship. They also shot at you, right? Wait, the Bureau will make them give an explanation... um, the Bureau's documents. Check and confirm them..."

Chen Chuan saw that a document had been sent on the contact interface, showing that the mission target had been killed. Above the executor was his name, waiting for his confirmation.

He immediately confirmed it, and then there was an internal notification, informing him that this mission had been completed. The following was to ask him to go back and wait for orders according to the regulations, and wait for a routine interview in the near future.

Ni Qianqian said, "Okay, you don't need to read any more after that. It's just going through the prescribed procedures. The following matters have nothing to do with you anymore. By the way, we recommended several skill teachers to you before. Have you chosen one?"

Just as he was thinking, a familiar car drove up to him. The window rolled down, and Lao Qi greeted him from inside, saying, "Brother Chen, Brother Wu asked me to pick you up."

Chen Chuan immediately contacted Wu Bei and said, "Brother Wu, thank you."

Wu Bei chuckled. Earlier, due to the interference of the field, he hadn't been able to see the specific process or compete with the technical personnel on the other side. He felt a little disappointed, but thinking that following Chen Chuan would surely bring more opportunities like this in the future, he perked up again.

After Chen Chuan got into the car, he thanked Lao Qi, who replied, "No need to thank me." Then, he started the car and drove towards the Wuding District.

Chen Chuan asked, "Lao Qi, has your daughter started school?"

"She has." Lao Qi's face lit up with a smile. "I have to thank you, Brother Chen, for giving me that money, which allowed me to pay the tuition on time."

"That's good."

Chen Chuan then looked at the Boundary Token, contacted the academy's platform, and found one of the teachers, the one the Bureau had recommended to him earlier.

He asked, "Are you Teacher Zheng? I'm student Chen Chuan, and I'd like to learn swordsmanship from you."

A hearty laugh came from the other side after a moment.

"Student Chen, I heard that you completed a mission for the Bureau today, and you carried the entire load yourself without any assistance. Good, well done! We swordsmen need to have this kind of courage! I'll take you as my student. I won't hold back any secrets, and I hope you can learn all my skills as soon as possible."

Chen Chuan felt reassured and immediately confirmed the matter on the school's platform. Then, he asked, "I wonder when Teacher Zheng is usually available?"

The latest and most complete novels are on 69shuba.com!

Teacher Zheng said, "If you have time, you can come now… Well, you just finished a mission, so let's leave it for today. Take a good rest. I'll send you a demonstration, and you can try to figure it out yourself first."

Chen Chuan said, "Okay, thank you, Teacher Zheng."

The Bureau had initially recommended four teachers to him. When he later looked at the introductions, the other teachers all displayed various advanced techniques. However, this one only slashed at the Boundary Token once.

It was just a straight slash, but it gave him the feeling that the blade was about to pass through the Boundary Token and fall on him, even causing him to have the urge to retreat and dodge. It was like this no matter how many times he watched it.

The other teachers clearly didn't have this kind of threat, so he decided to choose this one. Regardless of whether the others also had this method, at least this one was willing to show it to him.

He then glanced at the Martial Valor badge that Teacher Zheng had sent. The usage here seemed to be… …

At the same time, the Gong family's convoy had arrived at the Ferris wheel company.

In the luxurious guest room, Gong Zhanyi exclaimed in shock and anger, "What? It's not there?" He looked at the steward. "What's going on? How could it not be there?"

That thing was clearly on Xiong Jianyi before. If our people killed him, then it should be on our people. How could it run away on its own?

How much preparation had they done this time to avoid the Central City's surveillance? They had even used Xiong Jianyi, a wanted criminal, as a carrier to transport this thing into the Central City. This was a very crucial link. Without this thing, many subsequent matters could not be accomplished.

The steward asked, "Young Lord, could it be that person from the Bureau?"

"Impossible!"

Gong Zhanyi said, "Xiong Jianyi was clearly not dead yet at the time. How could the thing have gotten on him?"

The steward thought for a moment and said, "Young Lord, after disembarking, Xiong Jianyi met with his senior brother, Wei Wusheng, from the Heavenly Forgiveness Gang. Could there have been a mistake at that time?"

"Heavenly Forgiveness Gang… …"

Gong Zhanyi frowned. This was indeed the only place where a mistake could have occurred before. He said in a deep voice, "Go investigate this person, and remember to be careful and not leak any information."

After Chen Chuan returned to the Xuangong Building by car, he said goodbye to Lao Qi, took the elevator back to his dormitory, first washed up, and then came to the private training room. His gaze passed through the Boundary Token and focused on that badge.

After a while, Hong Fu's voice rang in his ear, "Student Chen, teaching simulation is currently in progress. According to your student evaluation score, your available time per day is one hour. Do you want to enable it?"

Chen Chuan said, "Enable."

As his voice fell, looking through the Boundary Token, Teacher Zheng's figure appeared in front of him and demonstrated sword techniques, as if he himself had really appeared there.

He couldn't help but nod. This kind of teaching demonstration was much more intuitive than images. Even if the person on the other side wasn't there, he could observe some changes in strength and rhythm through this.

He reached out and picked up the Snow Sovereign Saber, walked to the side, and prepared to try practicing. However, this time, just as he drew the saber slightly, the figure in front of him swayed slightly, as if it had been subjected to some kind of interference.

He reacted quickly and immediately returned the saber, and the swaying image returned to normal once again.

After carefully feeling it, there seemed to be something foreign on the Snow Sovereign Saber at this moment, and it had appeared at the moment of Xiong Jianyi's death.

What could it be?

He gripped the hilt and slowly drew it out once again.
