576 Birth of the Strongest Meat Shield! (2)

Xu Qing’s life didn’t change because of the arrival of the criminals from the Black Heaven Race. Everything was as usual. Every day, other than occasionally going to D132, he spent the vast majority of his time going to the World Prison to withstand the rules.

The time he lasted also increased from 1,000 breaths to more than 1,500 breaths. Just as he was getting closer and closer to the target he had set for himself, the captain, who had disappeared for a long time, suddenly transmitted his voice.

“Junior Brother, are you in the Sword Pavilion?”

At that moment, Xu Qing had just returned to the Sword Pavilion. When he heard the way the captain addressed him, he knew that there were either outsiders or something happened. Hence, he sent a voice transmission to reply.

After about fifteen minutes, the captain brought Ning Yan who had an apprehensive expression on his face.

As soon as they entered Xu Qing’s Sword Pavilion, the captain pushed Ning Yan and shot Xu Qing a look as he laughed.

“Junior Brother, this kid has something to tell you but he didn’t dare to come himself, so he begged me to be the middleman.”

Xu Qing stood up and cupped his fists and bowed to the captain. After that, he coldly looked at Ning Yan.

Being swept by Xu Qing’s gaze, Ning Yan instinctively shivered and his face turned a little pale. In reality, he had no choice but to look for Chen Erniu and get him to help contact Xu Qing.

“Senior Brother Xu Qing…” Ning Yan hurriedly greeted.

Xu Qing didn’t bother with him. Instead, he looked at the captain.

The captain once again sighed inwardly that it was really comfortable to be with Xu Qing. With just a sentence from him, the other party knew what he was thinking. That bow earlier was clearly to give him face in front of outsiders.

“Didn’t this kid get Quasi-Sword Holder status in the Yinghuang Province? Hence, he has to take the a.s.sessment again in the county capital. He has pa.s.sed all the tests, but the last segment requires a Sword Holder from the province to recommend him.”

“His social skills are mediocre, and Qing Qiu ignored him. Initially, I intended to recommend him due to us being from the Yinghuang Province, but he rejected me.”

“Do you want to help him?” The captain winked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing knew at a glance that the captain had either taken benefits or had something he needed Ning Yan to do. Otherwise, the captain wouldn’t take on this matter without benefits.

Xu Qing thought about it. If it was just Ning Yan coming here, he would naturally reject him. However, since his senior brother had already spoken, he fell silent for a moment before nodding.

Seeing that Xu Qing had agreed, Ning Yan was instantly pleasantly surprised. He realized that the rumors about Chen Erniu being unreliable were false. Today, he witnessed firsthand how impressive Chen Erniu was since he was able to convince Xu Qing to agree.

He hurriedly thanked him, and they decided to meet at the Sword Holding Palace’s records office in seven days. He then bowed and left.

The captain didn’t leave. After Ning Yan left, he sat opposite Xu Qing and took out an apple to eat as he smiled.

“Little Qing, this Ning Yan’s character is alright. There’s no big problem. Don’t worry and recommend him.”

“Captain, do you need him?” Xu Qing asked.

“His cultivation art is special. Back then, when he was played by Qingqin for so long, he was actually unscathed…” A strange glint appeared in the captain’s eyes as he spoke in a low voice.

“I secretly bit him but I actually couldn’t bite through his skin, so there must be something wrong with him!”

Xu Qing had a strange expression as he glanced at the captain.

The captain pretended not to see and continued to speak.

“He said that his bloodline went through atavism, but I don’t believe him. This Ning Yan must have a secret, but I’m not very concerned about the details. However, if we use his advantage of having thick skin and thick flesh well, it will be really useful when we do big things in the future.”

“Think about it. In the past, when we encountered danger, we could only flee for our lives. If we encountered area bombardment, we wouldn’t even be able to hide. This Ning Yan… is very resistant!”

The captain blinked.

Xu Qing also blinked.

“Believe me, Little Qing, I won’t be wrong. This Ning Yan is a talent, so we have to make arrangements in advance. We can’t wait until we need the other party to express goodwill.”

The captain had a look of strategic planning on his face. When Xu Qing heard this, he replied.

“Wu Jianwu too?”

“Don’t mention him…” The captain fiercely took a bite of the apple and spoke gloomily. After that, he changed the topic and put on a mysterious expression.

“Little Qing, have a few Black Heaven cultivators been locked up in your Prison Department recently?”

After asking, the captain’s eyes lit up as he looked at Xu Qing with antic.i.p.ation.

Although he knew that the captain had always been well-informed, this matter was a secret to begin with. Xu Qing only knew about it due to his ident.i.ty as a p.a.w.n. Hence, he glanced at the captain in surprise.

“Think of a way to observe those few Black Heaven cultivators. It’s best if you can record their way of speaking, actions, physical appearance, and everything else. The more detailed the better.”

“Give it to me after you’re done recording it. I have great use for it!” Noticing Xu Qing’s expression, the captain knew that he was right. The glint in his eyes intensified as he licked his lips and spoke softly.

“Little Qing, it’s almost time for us to do something big.”

Xu Qing’s eyes narrowed.

Right now, he yearned for military contributions. Over the years, although the captain’s actions were usually unreliable, every time he did something big… the gains were quite good. Of course, the risks were equally high.

However, Xu Qing felt that living in this world was actually a risk in itself.

Since that was the case… as long as the gains were good enough, the risk was worth it.

This was especially so since he had invested a lot of spirit stones this time.

“Is it related to the Black Heaven Race?” Xu Qing fell into deep thought and looked at the captain.

The captain put on an unfathomable expression and sat there eating an apple as he smiled proudly at Xu Qing.

“Little Qing, I told you before that the Sword Holding Palace thinks highly of me. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have given me this important position.”

“During this period of time, I’ve long studied the Office of Merit Records thoroughly. I know the mobilization and arrangements of any Sword Holder like the back of my hand.”

“Unless this person doesn’t record his military contributions, under my eyes that can see through everything, there’s nothing that can be hidden.”

The captain was arrogant, as though he was guiding everything.

Xu Qing sighed with emotion and some admiration rose in his heart. He really admired the captain. After all… such an inconspicuous civilian job could actually be of so much use in the captain’s hands.

To be able to do this, it was enough to show that the captain was much more of a talent compared to Ning Yan.

“Little Qing, you’re still too inexperienced. You have to learn more from me, understand? Don’t think about going out to adventure with those bad kids every day. What’s the use?”

“You work yourself to death on a trip, and still can’t get much military contributions.”

“Speaking of this, I have no choice but to scold you. After all, I had to take care of everything alone during this period of time.”

Xu Qing blinked and could hear the captain’s dissatisfaction. This was the third time the captain had expressed such emotions during this period of time.

Hence, Xu Qing’s expression revealed the admiration that had risen in his heart earlier.

At the same time, he took out a large apple and handed it to the captain.

The captain originally didn’t want to take it but he instinctively received it. He glanced at Xu Qing and was about to speak when Xu Qing softly spoke.

“Eldest Senior Brother, some time ago, Fairy Zi Xuan brought me to see a few of her best friends in the county capital. One of them is called Li s.h.i.tao. She…”
