"Miss, please call Su Ping again. I really need to talk to him about something."
"Sir, youāve heard from the assistant of that guest, havenāt you? The guest is in meditation and absolutely cannot be interrupted. Can you come back in half an hour?"
Or since you know the guest, you could call his private number."
The receptionist looked helplessly at this person; those who could enter the Dragon Dynasty werenāt people a mere receptionist could afford to offend.
But sometimes, there was no other way.
Indeed, the visitor wasnāt anyone else but Huang Tianbing, looking weary with dark circles under his eyes.
Huang Tianbing sighed helplessly because he realized he didnāt have Su Pingās new phone number.
To contact Su Ping, he had to go through the Qintian Monitorās backend, but Su Ping hadnāt surfaced there for a long time. He had actually come over yesterday, but Su Ping was out.
He made a special trip early today, only to run into this situation.
No choice but to wait.
Huang Tianbing returned to a seat in the reception hall, genuinely waiting, which surprised Chen Zhan slightly as he walked in.
This person holds a key position, although only Emperor Level, and is highly important as the Chief Supervisor of Qintian Monitor. Is he here to see Su Ping too?
This hick breeder from Jianghai is quite sought after?
"Hello, Director Huang."
He greeted with a smile.
"Hello, you are...?"
"Iām Chen Zhan, Chen Siming is my father, Chen Lifeng is my grandfather."
Chen Zhan introduced himself.
Huang Tianbing was slightly surprised, then, after running the names swiftly through his busy mind, he realized:
"Oh, youāre Old Chenās great-grandson. How is Saint Yuanās health?"
"Thanks to you, heās doing well. Are you here to see Su Ping too?"
"Yes? You are too? Thatās great. Do you have Su Pingās phone number? Call him quickly, I need to ask him for help..."
Huang Tianbing was delighted, standing up eagerly and looking at Chen Zhan.
The latter felt slightly embarrassed:
"Uh..."
Then he glanced at the two beside him, Yan Fan quickly responded:
"We donāt have it either..."
Huang Tianbing sat back down and couldnāt be bothered with this Chen family kid anymore.
Chen Zhan felt speechless too, but he thought for a moment and said:
"Then you sit here while I ask the receptionist to call Su Ping?"
"Mm, go ahead, go ahead."
However, as Chen Zhan started to move, the door behind him was pushed open again. Two figures quickly walked in, ignoring the others present, heading directly to the reception.
Each step sounded like armored bodies clashing with metal:
"Hello, is Breeder Su Ping here today? Please notify him..."
The voice sounded eerily electronic.
Clearly, the name Su Ping not only made Chen Zhan look at those two familiar yet unknown figures in confusion but also made Huang Tianbing turn his head.
Then, despite his fatigue, the self-reserved Lord Jianzhengās eyes turned red in excitement as he darted forward:
"President Wu, Mad Saint, why are you here? Didnāt your assistant say you were on a business trip to Ximo Province?"
The strange figure at the center turned around.
A horrifyingly mechanical face appeared in everyoneās sight.
The face was a blend of metal and lines.
Even a mechanical eye emitted infrared rays, looking at the approaching Huang Tianbing.
Chen Zhan straightened his back, instantly recognizing the person he turned to see.
The Mechanics Associationās President, Holy Spirit Level Mechanical Beastmaster, Wu Kuang.
Nicknamed Mad Saint.
Is he visiting Su Ping too?
Facing Huang Tianbing, Wu Kuang hesitated slightly before responding:
"Didnāt I just come back?"
"Back..."
"Little Huang, Iāve heard about your issue too. The Space Shatterer is really tight at the moment...
I have some business today and rushed back from Ximo Province specifically for that. Next time, shall we discuss this at the association office?"
"You as well..."
Huang Tianbing pursed his lips and nodded: "Please, go ahead."
Then, returning to his seat, he stared at the reception.
Sure enough, under his keen gaze, the receptionist dialed the phone again.
Then, in the phone, the cold voice of the female assistant came again:
"I said, Breeder Su Ping is in meditation, no one can disturb him, whoever it is!"
"Wait, isnāt that Longāer? When executing the mission back then, I picked you guys up once!
Who am I? Iām Wu Kuang! Yes, yes, oh yes, I do have something urgent. How long will it take? Not sure? Please... "
In Huang Tianbingās schadenfreude gaze, watching Mad Saint, who had previously spoken formally to him, now looked helpless over the phone, he couldnāt help but smile.
"Still no? Breeder Su Ping is meditating, no one can disturb him, no matter who comes? Longāer, havenāt I been inactive for a while, making you bold? Who said this? Just because Breeder Su Ping is meditating doesnāt mean itās deep research.
Why canāt he be disturbed? Who said that? Believe it or not, Iāll summon the Sky-Dominating War Machine to drag him on a space ride? Goddamn it, did Leng Ao say this?"
The phone hung up, Wu Kuang listened to the dial tone and was left dumbfounded.
Aside, Huang Tianbing grinningly asked:
"Mad Saint, President Wu, what do you say?"
Wu Kuang pursed his lips, looked at Huang Tianbing, and couldnāt be bothered to reply.
He even considered giving him a slap with a mechanical arm.
The reason was simple, Longāer on the other end merely replied calmly:
āThis is instructed by Lord Holy Dragon. Besides, Mad Saint, I will relay your words verbatim to Lord Holy Dragon.ā
Thinking of this, Wu Kuang couldnāt help but slap himself with that mechanical arm.
Nearby, Chen Zhan and the other three remained silent.
Until Yan Fan glanced at the silent Chen Zhan:
"Ahem, Brother Chen, are we still making the call?"
