Chapter 1492: Chapter 808: The Knight Organization’s New Protector

Chen Zhuoqu said thoughtfully, “I don’t think there will be any danger.”

Li Tongyun: “Tell us your reason.”

Chen Zhuoqu thought for a moment: “There’s not really a reason… Our master explained things very simply, just arrive at City No. 5 and report his name, and you know the kind of person he is. If he hadn’t already settled things here, he would have left us with several alternative plans, maybe even arranged the details of how everyone would enter the city. But since he didn’t arrange anything, it indicates… this place already belongs to him, there are no voices of opposition anymore.”

Li Tongyun understood, this King of Female Rolls reached this conclusion out of admiration and trust for her master.

But did the King of Female Rolls have a point? Yes, of course.

Li Tongyun shared the same viewpoint after being reminded.

The two women, one older and one younger, complemented each other’s views and finally made a decision: “Let’s follow these soldiers and see who will host us.”

Everyone boarded the airship, and the soldiers politely brought compressed biscuits and individual rations.

Though the knight candidates’ gazes drifted towards them, they courteously declined; they couldn’t afford to embarrass their master!

The airship flew directly toward Ginkgo Manor, and many big names in the city were astonished upon hearing the news: Since when could airships fly directly to the manor!?

Isn’t that an airspace control zone?

Yet, this airship brazenly flew right into it.

Gradually, people began to inquire about who was onboard the airship, but after asking around, they discovered that the matter had already been classified as top secret…

Soon, the airship landed in Ginkgo Manor, and the soldiers on the ship were uniformly isolated by mute servants.

Li Kerouli, dressed in a white suit, walked quickly over. She competently approached the knight candidates, smiling warmly and graciously: “Everyone, I am the private secretary of Mr. Qing Chen, Chairman of the Qing Clan. Before he left City No. 5, he had already instructed about your matters. Please follow me to the guest room area; accommodations have been prepared there for you. You can freshen up first, and the restaurant has also prepared supper for you.”

Upon hearing about supper, everyone couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.

But soon they realized something was wrong: Chairman Qing Chen?

Holy crap, when did our master become the new head of the Qing Clan?!

Just how long were they trekking through the wilderness to miss such a major event!

At one point, Hu Xiaoniu and others even imagined themselves stepping into a time wormhole, thinking although they walked for just over ten days, the outside world might have gone by five years…

It’s just absurd!

Li Kerouli asked as she walked, “Are all of you disciples of Mr. Qing Chen?”

“I’m not,” Li Tongyun said, “I’m his sister.”

“So she’s the sister! You must be Li Tongyun’s sister,” Li Kerouli immediately became even more enthusiastic: “I wonder about your preferences, any dietary restrictions? Here we have shower gels with ocean scent, gardenia scent, orange scent… a total of seventeen fragrances, which one do you prefer? Oh, and we need to prepare clothing for you; what style do you like?”

Li Tongyun suddenly became wary. Li Kerouli’s enthusiasm was abnormally high; the other party had done their homework well, even knowing her name, it was as if she had “intent to infiltrate” written on her face!

Li Tongyun grumbled inwardly, wondering why there was another King of Rolls around Qing Chen; are Roll Kings attracted to other Roll Kings?

She politely said, “No need, everything should proceed as usual. I want a white tracksuit.”

“Got it,” Li Kerouli smiled, walking in high heels with an alluring yet unpretentious grace, enthusiastic yet measured, without being annoying.

Li Tongyun even felt embarrassed to keep her stern demeanor; this was truly a high-level charmer.

Once everyone had finished bathing, the clothes were neatly folded outside each room.

After dressing up, they reunited, each of them feeling invigorated: “Is our master really the head of the Qing Clan now?”

Hu Xiaoniu responded: “I suppose so…”

Mute servants smilingly led them to the restaurant, where the buffet was already laid out with various dishes, over a hundred different types, some they didn’t even recognize…

Their gazes shifted toward Li Tongyun, and she also swallowed: “Let’s dig in! No need to hold back anymore, I feel like we’re already on our own turf!”

With those words, all the knight candidates pounced on the food like wolves.

Everyone ate while discussing: “Our master is amazing! How did he suddenly become the head of the Qing Clan?”

“Did you notice earlier, in the Ginkgo Manor, there were mute servants feeding hawks? Those hawks are really obedient.”

“And our room faucets are made of pure gold; I took a bite and left a tooth mark…”

“You really have no class!”

“I’m just a bit curious… But where are we now?”

Hu Xiaoniu whispered, “If I’m not mistaken, we should be at the Ginkgo Manor in City No. 5, where the Qing Clan House Master resides. Did you see the artificial hills in the manor? Those are Kunshan Stones from the Inner World, extremely expensive, as if a dragon hides within them. I heard about them in City No. 18, they have to be transported from the Taboo Land in City No. 19, requiring substantial manpower and resources.”

The entire manor looks simple, but only the real second-generation wealthy understand that this simplicity and elegance represent unimaginable wealth and supreme power.

And now, Qing Chen is already the master of this place…

Hu Xiaoniu recalled when he first met Qing Chen, back then, he was just a poor student, yet now he’s one of the most powerful figures in the Federation.

No matter how hard he tries, it’s difficult to keep up with Qing Chen’s pace.

On the mountainside, Qing Ji stood outside the small cabin and said, “Old Man, Qing Chen’s apprentices are all here, and so is his sister from the Outer World, she’s quite cute. They must have suffered on the way here, our drone filmed a video and they looked quite miserable. But they are all good kids, their spirits are still high.”

The old man inside chuckled, “If Qing Chen chose them, they must be good.”

While speaking, Qing Ji was taken aback when he saw the elderly man who had been living alone in the cabin for over a decade, stepping out!

“What are you doing?!” Qing Ji asked in surprise.

The white-haired old man clasped his hands behind his back, smiling warmly, “This is the first time my son’s disciples visit, as the host, I should at least go greet them.”

Qing Ji pouted, “They’re his disciples, not his children.”

The old man laughed, “It’s all the same, it’s all the same.”

Qing Ji didn’t know what to say, this was the first time in over ten years the old man had gone down the mountain, and not for some significant state affair, but to see the younger generation.

If the big figures of the Qing’s Family factions knew, who knows what their reaction would be.

To be honest, Qing Ji suddenly felt that after Qing Chen empowered the old man, the once magnanimous leader seemed to have returned, no longer full of hatred.

The old man walked down the mountain with his hands behind his back, “Let’s go, honestly I also want to see the spectacle of a hundred knights gathered together, the Knight Organization being handed over to Uncle Li, he’s damn lucky.”

Shadow Qing Zhun once told Qing Chen that the old man had held a grudge against Uncle Li Dong for intercepting this matter for years.

He mentioned several times how Uncle Li Dong wasn’t trustworthy.

His own son being closer to others did spark a bit of anger towards Uncle Li Dong in the old man, but deep down, he was a bit envious.

…

…

While eating, Li Tongyun suddenly looked up and saw a white-haired old man, smiling with his hands behind his back watching everyone, as if seeing them devour their food brought him immense joy.

She quickly stood up, put down the chicken wing in her hand, and said, “Hello.”

The old man smiled warmly, “Continue eating, keep eating, it must have been tough coming all this way. There’s plenty of food, and the kitchen can always prepare more, order whatever you like.”

Hu Xiaoniu quickly said, “You’re too kind, the meal is already wonderful. You are…?”

The old man glanced at him gently and said, “I’m Qing Chen’s father, Qing Xun, the previous Qing Clan House Master, now a retired worker in this generation of the Qing’s Family.”

The knights were dumbfounded, this kind-hearted old man is the legendary Qing Clan House Master! The master’s father!

They all stood up, at a loss of what to do, worrying if their eating manners earlier looked too unsightly.

The old man smiled and asked, “What did Qing Chen tell you to come here for?”

“He just told us to come, didn’t really say anything specific,” Hu Xiaoniu replied.

Qing Ji, at the side, said to the old man, “Seems like many people are attending a Parents’ Meeting, three airships from City No. 10 have already taken off and will arrive by the latest tomorrow.”

The old man chuckled, “Then I know what he plans to do.”

Like solving a riddle, he didn’t reveal everything to Qing Ji, but it seemed as if he had foreseen some future.

Then, the old man said to Hu Xiaoniu, “I estimate, it will still take half a month to a month before he needs you. So, since you’re knights, you shouldn’t be idle. I will have Qing Chi send an Air Fleet to escort you to the Southwest Snow Mountain, over by the Fire Pit. As far as I know, you have a life-and-death trial to complete there, the Qing’s Family will ensure your training in the Inner World, providing comprehensive logistical support.”

Hearing this, the knights were almost moved to tears, the glorious promises their master made in the past are finally becoming a reality!

Qing Ji stood silently aside.

There have never been so many knights at once in this world, nor has any consortium ever provided group military protection for the Knight Organization!

Indeed, the alliance between the consortium and the knights signifies the advent of a new era.
