"I didnât expect you two to come here, itâs just better than nothing."
"Now, we can only wait for the people from the Inspection Bureau to arrive."
"Yuan Shen, I have a different perspective."
The man with glasses walked in front of Qin Jin, turned back to retort, then looked at Qin Jin, speaking calmly.
"Any task involving the Evil God Sect is definitely not simple."
"Since Wuyuan only sent two people, it means that Qin Jin and Han Miao are both formidable."
Saying this.
He extended his hand, "Celestial Strategy Academy, General-Level Student, Gu Xiweng."
Qin Jin shook hands, raising his eyebrows slightly, "General-Level?"
"Yes."
Gu Xiweng nodded slightly, explaining, "In our Celestial Strategy Academy, students are divided into three levels."
"Soldier, General, Commander."
"All new students start as Soldiers; the outstanding ones advance to Generals."
"Until now, in our cohort, thereâs yet to be a Commander. This task is led by myself and Yuan Shen, both Generals."
"Student Qin Jin."
"Want to cooperate?"
"We can cooperate."
Qin Jin nodded slightly, "However, Iâm not used to acting under the command of Generals."
"Han Miao."
Qin Jin called softly.
Han Miaoâs thin veil over her eyes fluttered slightly. In that moment, there was Spiritual Power, condensed into a seed, sweeping towards Gu Xiweng.
Gu Xiweng sensed the seedâs existence, touched it with Spiritual Power, perceived its purpose, and his expression subtly changed.
"Itâs fate that we are all here for the same task."
Qin Jinâs expression was calm, "If you encounter any trouble you cannot solve afterward, you can contact me through Han Miao."
After saying this, Qin Jin glanced around the room and then turned away.
"Han Miao, letâs go."
"The meeting room prepared for us by the Inspection Bureau should be ready by now."
After speaking.
Qin Jin led ahead, Han Miao following at his side, leaving the meeting room.
The electronic door closed.
Beside.
A Celestial Strategy Student, who was operating a computer, looked up at this moment, "I compared with the list of the top five hundred before the entrance exams and didnât find them."
"It seems they are special recruits from Wuyuan Academy."
Gu Xiweng was thoughtful.
"They might even be further behind."
Yuan Shen leaned back in his chair, shaking his head, "Youâre overestimating them, just two people canât affect much. Instead of spending so much effort on this, why not think about how to communicate with the Inspection Bureau people."
"Yuan Shen."
Gu Xiweng sighed slightly, looking at him, "If only your brains were half as strong as your martial prowess, you might have been the first Commander of this cohort."
"According to the allocation we initially discussed, promise me, you just need to show up when itâs time to fight, donât overthink the rest."
"What do you mean?"
Yuan Shen slammed the table hard.
Gu Xiweng had already withdrawn his gaze, looking to the other end, his sight fell on one person.
There were a total of twenty-seven people in the meeting room. If observed carefully, youâd find the arrangement was not by gender but rather by specialization.
The person he looked at was a female student.
"Su Su."
Gu Xiwengâs voice rang out, "Have you... seen Qin Jin?"
Su Su.
In the Star Godâs Chosen One, she was one of the competitors who had met Qin Jin.
Currently, her position was among students more adept at the spiritual level.
Hearing his inquiry, Su Su wasnât surprised and nodded.
Just now, she could feel Qin Jinâs gaze pause on her a bit longer, evidently recognizing her as well, and she was equally surprised about encountering him here. It was normal for others to notice.
"Weâre from the same place; we met before."
"From the same place?"
Gu Xiwengâs eyes flashed with surprise, "Didnât expect to run into someone familiar while on an academy task, Su Su, youâre quite lucky."
"So, do you know him well?"
Gu Xiweng pursued further.
Su Su shook her head.
She did not see the final scene of the Star Godâs Chosen One, but her teammate did.
However, the matter of the Star Godâs Chosen One evidently couldnât be disclosed.
After shaking her head, she pondered for a moment, her tone serious, and finally said, "I only know..."
"He is strong."
"Very strong."
Receiving this answer, Gu Xiweng did not inquire further, looking at Yuan Shen, "See?"
"I told you, these two are no ordinary."
"Everyone."
He clapped his hands, "Letâs begin. The Patrol Bureau doesnât want us overly involved, which is a good thing; at least... we wonât be misled by their thinking."
"Start the operation according to the plan."
As his words fell.
Uniform responses echoed in the meeting room.
...
Even though there were only two of them, the meeting room prepared by the Patrol Bureau was not of lower standards; it was still a large conference room.
For a city-level Patrol Bureau, Wuyuan and Celestial Strategy were unimaginably huge, entities that couldnât be offended, considered in every aspect.
In the meeting room, Han Miao sat down, looking toward Qin Jin.
"What do you plan to do?"
"That Yuan Shen, didnât get it wrong on one point; relative to a city, we are too few in number, even... that potential Evil God Sect stronghold might not even be in Cold Plum City."
Qin Jin placed his hands on the table, his voice sounded.
"From the attitude of the Patrol Bureau towards us, my initial hunch was correct."
"To them, even though weâre from top academies, weâre too young. Theyâre afraid the business with the Evil God Sect will bring further trouble before itâs even resolved."
"What do you mean..."
"I will give them a reason to accept us."
Qin Jin straightened up, "Weâve just arrived, unfamiliar with the place. To complete the task, we need to cooperate with the Patrol Bureau."
"This is also why the task goal includes â[collaborate with the local Patrol Bureau]â."
"The Patrol Bureau doesnât want us to go deep because they donât trust or recognize us."
"In that case."
"Give them a reason to recognize us."
Leaving this last sentence, Qin Jin pushed the door open and stepped out.
