Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 338: 260, The Path of Cultivation_3

Next, it wasn’t just Hu Xiaoniu and his group that needed to run, Qing Chen thought that Jiang Xue, Liu Dezhu, and others must also join in.

This was an essential process for an organization to endure hardship and temper itself.

Moreover, this was also the process of selecting ‘Knights,’ which had to be especially grueling.

After the running exercise was over, Hu Xiaoniu, Zhang Tianzhen, and Nan Gengchen were still so exhausted they could hardly catch their breath.

Qing Chen calmly asked, “Aren’t you going to ask me when you can start to officially learn combat skills to kill the enemy, instead of just running around foolishly like now?”

After catching his breath for a moment, Hu Xiaoniu forced a smile and said, “No need to ask, we have the patience to wait for that day.”

Qing Chen said, “Good.”

…

…

In the depths of Los Angeles Lijing Gate, Xiao Ying and other rotating Kunlun members were cleaning.

They wielded huge bamboo brooms, each one resembling the ascetic monks in temples.

The gate of the courtyard was pushed open, and upon looking up, Xiao Ying saw that it was the boss, Zheng Yuandong, returning.

His expression was solemn, and his body still bore the thin mist and dew of the early morning.

Xiao Ying ran back inside the yard to fetch a towel and hot water, “Boss, why were you out for so long this time?”

“I was following the lead of the Time Travelers with my colleagues from the intelligence group. They slipped into the country stealthily from Changbai Mountain. We tracked them all the way,” Zheng Yuandong took the hot towel to wipe his face, “The team of Deer Island Time Travelers this time consisted of many individuals from outside Yanbian. Such lawless places breed villains, and we absolutely can’t let them wander around within our borders like this.”

“So, boss, did you catch them all?” Xiao Ying asked curiously, as in his opinion, with the boss leading the intelligence group’s colleagues personally, there certainly wouldn’t be any mishaps.

Zheng Yuandong said, “We haven’t caught them yet. After they entered, they have been switching long-distance buses heading inland, and they had just stopped in Xian City yesterday. We didn’t capture them because we want to play a long game to catch the big fish. Their movements are too obvious, heading towards Xian City in a low profile all the way. I find it very suspicious.”

Zheng Yuandong continued, “This at least suggests two things. First, there are people inside the country giving them directions, even planning their routes for them. If it weren’t for the efficiency of our intelligence group colleagues, they would have given us the slip. We must root out these Deer Island insiders with counter-surveillance capabilities that exist within the country.”

“Secondly, their rush to Xian City surely means they have found a target. I want to see what they are up to,” after explaining, Zheng Yuandong said, “Is there any food at home? Serve me some.”

Kunlun are all hardworking people, and Zheng Yuandong was no exception.

He never sat behind the scenes to plan and plot like He Jinqiu but instead took an active part in most matters. Whenever there was danger in any mission, he would be there.

This was also because Kunlun was always short-handed, but Zheng Yuandong still insisted on the principle of preferring quality over quantity. He absolutely wouldn’t allow people with impure intentions to infiltrate Kunlun’s ranks.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ying excitedly said, “Boss, the criminals who came this time are from outside the country. Once we catch them, can’t we slap Kyushu in the face and let them stop being so arrogant every day?”

Zheng Yuandong glanced at him and said sternly, “Is national security a matter of comparison? Does Kyushu have a distinction with Kunlun at an organizational level, do the civilians who get hurt have such a distinction? Don’t say that sort of thing again in the future.”

“I’m sorry, I was wrong,” Xiao Ying immediately bowed his head, “By the way, boss, I need to report something to you. I bumped into Qing Chen in the Inner World!”

Zheng Yuandong was somewhat surprised, “Lu Yuan also said he saw him, at the Begonia Boxing Gym in the Fourth District.”

“Eh?” Xiao Ying was a little surprised, “I saw him by Li Changqing’s side; it looked like he was being kept by that powerhouse woman.”

“Talk about it in detail,” Zheng Yuandong frowned.

He always felt it was strange; the changes in Qing Chen’s identity were happening too fast. All of a sudden, he became a Tiger Grade Boxing King, and then he mysteriously ended up being kept by a significant figure of the Li Family.

This youngster, how could he be so restless…

Xiao Ying said, “Here’s what happened, you know about the attack on Li Changqing, right? I had just finished my holiday and returned to the halfway villa estate that afternoon when I was informed to join a mission. Initially, we were supposed to watch the encirclement of Heng Society, but we encountered an attack by Deer Island forces just as we entered the Fourth District.”

“Then, the convoy we were in was blocked in the street, and that kid covered for Li Changqing to enter a building and carry out a beheading strategy. He nearly wiped out a building full of Deer Island Assassins.”

“He’s just a Genetic Warrior. How did he kill them?” Zheng Yuandong asked.

“They say he’s extremely good with firearms. I heard it from Lao Liu… he’s now called Lao Jiu. He said that Qing Chen could recognize every type of gun in the Inner World and every caliber of the bullets just by listening to the sound of gunfire,” Xiao Ying said, “Boss, do such people really exist in this world?”

“They do, but I’ve only ever seen one in my time in the army,” Zheng Yuandong said calmly.

“Who? Have I met them?” Xiao Ying asked curiously.

“You’ve met them, He Jinqiu,” Zheng Yuandong said, “Although I don’t know where Qing Chen learned his firearms skills, now it seems I need to find him personally.”

“By the way, boss, I was preparing to infiltrate their organization. Do you agree?” Xiao Ying asked, “I need to tell you first, otherwise, you might think I’ve defected.”

“I agree,” Zheng Yuandong glanced at him, “as long as you can really join them. But I’m curious, what is your purpose for joining?”

“Of course, it’s to gather intelligence. As a member of Kunlun, how can I ignore the Time Traveler Organization that has appeared right under our noses?” Xiao Ying spoke with conviction, “I must take responsibility!”
