I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon - Chapter 416
Chapter 416: Looking for Master X
Ling Ping’an had just finished his breakfast when he received a message.
[Student Xiao Yao (Hu Nuonuo): Young master, I’m already here!]
Ling Ping’an’s eyebrows twitched and his head was about to explode.
The events of last night surfaced in his mind.
Although he couldn’t remember what that person looked like, her words still seemed to be ringing in his ears.
A person above others…
He would definitely regret it!
The image of an arrogant and extremely narcissistic hedonist began to form in Ling Ping’an’s mind.
Then, Ling Ping’an looked at the crowd in the restaurant again.
The descendants of all the kingdom’s meritorious officials from the entire Federal Empire had come to this sorority.
With such a huge base, there were definitely many people like last night.
What a headache!
Ling Ping’an sighed and replied, “Got it.”
He had just finished replying and didn’t have time to put his phone away.
He received a message from his aunt.
The cold An’an (aunt) : Ping’an, we’re here! Where are you? Come to the underground garage at the east exit to pick us up!
Ling Ping’an whined and could only reply, “Okay, Aunt, I’ll be there right away!”
“It’s bitter…” Ling Ping’an shook his head, hugged his cat and stood up.
He walked to the door, took out his phone, turned on the GPS and navigated to the underground garage at the east exit.
…
Shang Juan stood on a two-story glass bridge, looking at the scenery of Luming Villa through the glass.
Behind him, people were coming from various passageways one after another.
Lu Qiu stood beside him.
All these people shared a common characteristic with Shang Juan.
They were all people from the transcendent families of the Empire who had yet to awaken their transcendent being.
Because of the existence of the Blackguard, the transcendent world of the Federal Empire was different from other regions.
The Blackguard was strong in protecting the country’s institutions and laws, standing above the transcendent being.
They forced everyone to play within the circle they had drawn.
As a result, the transcendent being had no choice but to adapt to the Blackguard’s strength because those who could not adapt and those who were unwilling to adapt died.
The Blackguard never showed mercy when it came to killing!
Back then, when they swept away the Yan Sheng Sect and the Voodoo Sect, they killed countless people.
Many transcendent being families were uprooted in many places.
The Blackguard had also suffered heavy losses.
However, they did not retreat and persisted in their attacks.
Finally, the Yan Sheng Sect and the Voodoo Sect admitted defeat and fled to Nanyang, struggling for their lives.
In the end, they were personally killed by this generation’s commander-in-chief.
This was the Blackguard!
Under the shadow of the Blackguard, all the extraordinaires and foreign species that were not part of the system had to be careful and behave themselves.
As a result, the various transcendent families gradually learned their lesson.
Generally speaking, they would hand over the business and capital of the mortal world to the descendants of their own families who did not have transcendent being potential.
And those who had awakened their transcendent being potential were the true backbone and core of their families.
They would either focus on nurturing them, secretly nurture them or reach an agreement with the Blackguard and enter the system.
In this sorority, the various transcendent being families had sent them to lead the way.
Therefore, don’t look at them. They were usually in the limelight in front of the media.
They were investment geniuses, trendsetters and business geniuses.
They were worth billions or even tens of billions.
But in reality, they were just decorations placed at the front desk for people to see.
They were just like the samples placed in the cupboards of a shopping mall.
They looked flashy and beautiful, but in reality, they were just the vassals of the family, the butlers, accountants and servants of those transcendent being brothers.
Don’t look at how much money was in the account. When the family called and said that they wanted to buy something, they had to take it all out.
This was also why there would always be news of so-and-so spending a lot of money at the auction house on the news.
It was the same this time.
They came to the front line to scout the way for their own true subordinates and gather information.
At the same time, they also probed their competitors and gathered useful information.
Finally, almost everyone had arrived!
Shang Juan turned his head and looked at these people who came with the same goal as him.
“Everyone…” he said, “We may be in trouble!”
People looked up, not quite understanding.
“Last night, hibiscus fairy doctor, Doctor Hu, came to Yan Lou and saw a person…” Shang Juan said, “Lu Qiu saw it with his own eyes!”
Lu Qiu stood up and said, “I saw Doctor Hu and a man who came out of nowhere. Their expressions were intimate and they seemed to be familiar with each other for a long time!”
The crowd finally began to buzz with discussion.
Hu Nuonuo was the target of many transcendent being families.
In the end, the sorority had not even started yet and this medical cultivator, who ‘would have to struggle for at least a hundred years to marry into any family’, was actually going to fall into the mouths of outsiders?
It was tolerable, but what was intolerable!
It must be known that the number of medical cultivators in the Federal Empire had never been able to increase.
And a high-level medical cultivator like Hu Nuonuo was a treasure like a national treasure.
Moreover, she was only in her twenties!
Young and powerful, her future was limitless!
More importantly, she was single!
Who wouldn’t covet a family with a bit of ambition?
Moreover, not only was this hibiscus fairy doctor powerful, her looks were also one in a million.
In this sorority, many people had even secretly formed an alliance and their target was this medical cultivator.
“Who is it?” Someone immediately asked, “Which family is it from?”
“I don’t know!” Lu Qiu replied, “My memory of that person seems to have been affected…”
“I can only remember that he was wearing very cheap clothes and carrying a cat. He wasn’t tall and wore glasses…”
People lowered their heads.
Someone said, “I heard that there was a mysterious person called X by the intelligence agencies of various countries in this sorority…”
Shang Juan nodded, “I’ve heard of him as well!”
The size of the Federal Empire was so huge that transcendent being families in overseas kingdoms could infiltrate a kingdom by themselves.
“Our current knowledge of that X is limited!”
“We can only roughly know that he seems to be from Jiangcheng City!”
“So… the question is… is X the person that Lu Qiu saw last night…”
Shang Juan was not stupid. After learning about the situation last night, he immediately took action.
He immediately used the spies his family had planted in Xinluo to learn about Project X, who was closely watched by the intelligence agencies of various countries.
At the same time, he also consolidated the information through some legends within the Blackguard.
Master X might have come from Jiangcheng city.
This was the first confirmed fact because in the past two months, too many strange and mysterious things had happened in Jiangcheng City.
Not to mention other things, the college entrance examination in the past had shocked the entire world.
This had caused Jiangcheng City’s real estate to become a national hot spot.
Countless people brought large amounts of money to buy houses, but they were directly beaten back by the Blackguard.
This was too unusual.
Not to mention, the Blackguard had continuously sent out generals to guard Jiangcheng City.
All the transcendent being that entered JIang City had felt a pair of divine eyes that were monitoring the world, monitoring them.
Now, that pair of divine eyes had been confirmed to be Situ He.
Situ He, who had already stepped into the Nanzhou, had killed a class A wanted criminal that had been wanted by the Blackguard for decades, the major-general level forefather of the foreign species, Huyan Yue.
It was said that the entire battle had lasted less than five minutes.
Huyan Yue, a foreign species with countless means of escape, had been killed by Situ He.
This matter shook the entire transcendent being world.
It even made people cry out: another Li Shouyi was rising!
And before that, this iron-faced judge had encountered another major-general-level wanted criminal, Wang Daoqing, last year. After fighting fiercely with him for several days, he had still been able to escape. It was said that Situ He had even sustained some injuries.
A year later, Situ He had killed a major-general level wasp in the Nanzhou!
And it had only taken him less than five minutes.
The difference between the two was obvious at a glance.
Even a fool knew that this iron-faced judge must have had a fortuitous encounter.
Where did the fortuitous encounter come from?
All the clues pointed to Jiangcheng City!
Not only that.
The hibiscus fairy doctor Hu Nuonuo, who was now the focus of attention, also came from Jiangcheng City.
A colonel doctor in her twenties!
In addition, Li An’an, the koi fairy, also came from Jiangcheng City.
Binhai City in Guangnan.
“I want to talk to you about something…” Shang Juan looked at the noisy crowd in front of him.
“Does anyone know Sun Jinyi from the Sun family of Yungui?”
“I know!” A fat man answered, “I heard that he went to Jiangcheng City to take charge of the local Sun family’s business and he also volunteered to serve the Blackguard, hoping to accumulate points to awaken…”
“This is simply a dream!”
“This transcendent being is born with it… No matter how hard he works the day after tomorrow, how can he change it?!”
“As far as I know, he is currently cultivating in the ancestral land of the Sun family…” Shang Juan suddenly said.
“Ah!” That person was so surprised that his mouth could not close.
“I heard that Sun Jinyi’s psionic power talent is very good!”
“In less than a week, he is already a sergeant. He can control his own psionic power and can practice magic art!”
Thus, everyone felt their eardrums rumble.
“And Sun Jinyi flew directly back to the ancestral land from Jiang City!” Shang Juan added.
He looked at everyone, “Everyone… if all of this is related to one person…”
“Then this person is very likely that Master X!”
“A powerhouse who deliberately went into hiding for some reason!”
“And he has already come to our sorority!”
Shang Juan said seriously, “It’s very likely that he is the person that Lu Qiu met last night!”
Lu Qiu’s expression turned cold, “How is that possible?”
Shang Juan looked at him and laughed, “Lu Qiu, don’t you even remember his appearance?”
“This is the evidence!”
“The evidence of a true powerhouse!”
Shang Juan’s eyes became extremely fervent when he said this.
He looked at the others, “Everyone! If that Master X really has something to do with Sun Jinyi’s awakening…”
“Then… he must have a way to make ordinary people awaken as well!”
Thus, everyone’s eyes turned red.
Transcendent being awakened?
This was everyone’s dream!
Who would be willing to risk their lives and end up at the bottom of the family?
He was just a worker, but he was just a white glove.
Not only did he have to work hard to deliver benefits to his family, he could also take the blame for his family but it was different when he became a transcendent.
His status immediately rose.
He didn’t need to do dirty things anymore, nor did he need to be treated as a scapegoat that could be cut at any time.
Moreover, his lifespan would become longer and his body would become better.
Even if it was sex, it would last longer!
“But…” someone asked, “How can you be sure that the person Lu Qiu saw last night is Master X?”
“He could also be from another city?!”
Shang Juan laughed, “You’re right!”
“He’s just a possibility…”
“But…”
Shang Juan picked up a cell phone, opened it and flipped to yesterday’s news.
“Everyone, please take a look… This is yesterday’s news…”
“Imperial Capital Airlines has applied for a suspension…”
“Unfortunately, a portion of my family’s funds are invested in imperial capital airlines and it also belongs to the board of directors…”
“So I know that imperial capital airlines suspension and the investigation Lin Yunwen is facing originated from a general’s order issued directly from the flight!”
“I don’t know who issued the general’s order for the time being, but I can find out that half an hour before Capital Airlines was investigated, the Aviation Safety Bureau approved the arrest warrant for the chairman of Capital Airlines, Mrs. Lin Yunwen!”
“Moreover, I also know that Lin Yunwen is divorcing the already arrested Mrs. Lin…”
“Lin Yunwen has already said that he won’t leave a single cent to that woman…”
“And that woman’s crime is endangering public safety, picking quarrels and provoking others on the plane…”
“On Capital Airlines’ own flight, the wife of the chairman of Capital Airlines was arrested by the air police… the crime is endangering public safety, picking quarrels and provoking others…”
Shang Juan’s eyes almost narrowed from laughter.
The others were also deep in thought.
They were all thousand-year-old foxes, so they naturally knew that there was something fishy going on.
Not to mention that the Blackguard’s general order was actually issued from the plane.
Lin Yunwen’s reaction after that confirmed that there was no silver in this place.
Shang Juan continued, “I’ve already checked that flight…”
“At 10:30 am, from Jiangcheng City to the imperial capital…”
This was public information and anyone could check it out from the official website of the Aviation Administration.
“Everyone…”
“The person sitting on the plane is not that Master X, who else could it be?”
Shang Juan said, “This is the reason why I gathered everyone!”
“The opportunity is here!”
“Even Sun Jinyi can do it, why can’t we?” He looked around at the crowd.
“No matter what you think, I have already decided…” Shang Juan said seriously, “I will go all out, regardless of the price!”
The others thought for a moment, then they all stood up and bowed, “I am willing to follow the wise master, go all out, regardless of the price!”
Transcendent being…
Who hadn’t seen it before?
Transcendent being who could go to heaven and earth, omnipotent.
As long as there was hope, who wouldn’t want to be the one who grabbed the throat of fate?
Only Lu Qiu was completely dumbfounded because he suddenly realized that if what Shang Juan said was right…
Then…
Wouldn’t he have crashed into an iron plate right from the start without even realizing it.
But no one cared about him because he was no longer important.
…
Holding his phone, Ling Ping’an followed the GPS and walked to the underground garage.
As soon as he entered the garage, he saw his aunt waving at him from a fiery red lady’s car.
“Ping’an… Ping’an… here…”
Ling Ping’an walked over and chuckled, “Aunt, you’re here?”
Li An’an looked at her nephew.
Then, she looked at the clothes he was wearing.
The young major was instantly unhappy.
“Ping’an, why are you here in this kind of clothes?”
“Let’s go… I’ll bring you to buy clothes…”
“A person needs clothes…”
“How can there be a girl dating you in this kind of clothes?”
He dragged Ling Ping’an into the car without any explanation.
Ling Ping’an sat down and turned around to see a young girl in the car.
He nodded kindly, “Hello…” after some thought, he asked, “Is it Miss Chu?”
Chu Weiwei covered her mouth and nodded gently, “Young Master Ling, we meet again!”
Li An’an sat in the driver’s seat and said fiercely to Ling Ping’an, “Put on your seatbelt!”
“Oh!” Ling Ping’an quickly fastened his seatbelt.
His cat obediently lay on top of him.
“Let’s go buy a few sets of good clothes first…” Li An’an’s eyes were filled with disdain as she held her small hand and flipped through the clothes that her nephew was wearing.
What were these?
Did he buy them when the mall was having a sale?
Ling Ping’an chuckled.
Naturally, he knew that he could buy some better ones, but the problem was that he was too lazy to do so.
These clothes were so good. They were cheap and affordable and he didn’t need to wash them much.
Moreover, he wasn’t really here for a blind date.
He was just here to make a fool of himself.
…
After Shang Juan and the others finished their discussion, they dispersed. They began to disperse to the Yan Lou and the surrounding area.
They searched for passersby one by one.
The target was about 1.7 to 1.8 meters tall, a man with a shabby appearance, wearing glasses and an unknown cat.
As long as they found him, they agreed to inform each other immediately and then make the next step of their plan.
