Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 1014 The Ten Elders Meeting
In this state, Ren Fei's original status and position were no longer effective, and her own abilities were also lacking.

Sending people to protect her can only provide temporary protection. Ultimately, unless someone of Lu Huizhong's caliber personally protects her, someone will always find an opportunity to assassinate her—Tian Jinzhong's death in the original novel is an example of this.

But the imperial envoy himself was a different story. Killing an imperial envoy... there were precedents for this, and the consequences were obvious.

At least for now, neither the righteous path nor the Quanxing dares to do it. As for Qu Tong... it's relatively easy to guard against her family.

Besides, if he says he's keeping an eye on her, who knows if he's just luring her out? He Songling is currently worried about not being able to find Qu Tong.

"So you've become our boss?"

Xu Si stared incredulously at the woman he had once fantasized about, not even noticing the cigarette burning his fingers.

"I'm not your direct superior. I'm not anyone's boss. I'm just a special observer. As for observation, I'm just a civil servant and don't have any real power."

Ren Fei acted all high and mighty in front of the heads of several major regions.

Everyone can see that her role as an "observer" is exactly the same as that of Ultraman Seven's observer. Anyone who underestimates her because they think she's just a "civil servant" is courting death.

She said she didn't hold real power, but that was in reality under normal circumstances. In case of an emergency, all the local branches and agencies had to listen to Ren Fei.

As for when an emergency occurs?
Ren Feiding.

In other words, whoever she says she is, is her superior. From headquarters to the local level, the official she meets is one rank higher.

Normally, everyone respects Ren Fei because of her powerful connections, making communication with her already somewhat difficult. Now it's even worse; she's become the boss.

"You all do this for now..."

Ren Fei began assigning tasks, while He Songling finally finished arranging affairs at the Na Du Tong headquarters, handing everything over to others. He finally had some free time and prepared to call Lu Huizhong and Na Ruhu to head south together.

Na Ruhu has just embarked on his path and still needs time to hone his skills. He Songling doesn't want his own opinion to completely influence Na Ruhu, so he still wants to take him to Trinity University to see the world. Especially since Na Ruhu promised to call upon his good friend Ding Shian.

He Songling was also interested in Xiao Ding, after all, he was the man in the original work who could firmly control the old master's hand with just his neck, a feat that was unparalleled and terrifying.

The two are roughly equal in skill, especially Ding Shian, who follows a different path than He Songling, though Ding Shian's success is based on talent, while He Songling's is due to special abilities. Nevertheless, He Songling still has more interest and confidence in guiding Ding Shian.

He'll drag Ding Shian onto the path of immortality when the time comes, and he'll want to see what it'll be like when the Celestial Master uses his neck to control one of Ding Shian's hands.

"Old Master He... Chairman Ling." Na Ruhu quickly changed his form of address when he met He Songling's murderous gaze. He felt awkward, after all, this was a person who had a good relationship with his grandfather, and it was not inappropriate for him to call him Grandpa He.

The main problem is that Ru Hu has been mingling in the lower echelons of the martial arts world for too long and doesn't know what's going on at the top. It was one thing before, but now, He Songling is leading a joint development project between supernatural beings and firearms. This is a top-secret project, so his name is even more taboo.

If people knew that He Songling, at over a hundred years old, still had a youthful face and was even energetically researching how to beat up young people, the world would be in chaos.

Therefore, especially now, the name "He Songling" can no longer appear in public.

"Get to the point." He Songling didn't scold Ru Hu. It wasn't a big deal. He could just beat him up under the pretext of "testing his external martial arts skills." He could even beat him to death; he could always bring him back to life in his own world.

"Well, is it like this? Are we in a hurry to leave? I'd like to hold a meeting of the Ten Elders first."

The tiger-like man spoke in a deep, gruff voice: "I'll step down from the Ten Elders first. Now that I'm following you in my cultivation, it's not good for me to stay in the Ten Elders' ranks. I don't usually get involved in anything; everyone just uses me as a source of strength, or to put it bluntly, a thug who does the physical labor. There's even less need for me to stay here now."

Especially given your current status... it seems like the "All-Knowing" group is about to wipe out all the independent, unconventional groups of people, which wouldn't be good for your reputation. Although, to be honest, your reputation... sigh!

"Tiger," He Songling said with a smile, looking at the tiger-like boy. "I've noticed that your cultivation has been progressing well lately. I was thinking of testing your progress later, but it seems you can't wait any longer. Why don't we do it now?"

"Ah? What?"

Ru Hu, who appeared at the meeting of the Ten Elders, was bruised and battered.

"hiss……"

As soon as Na Ruhu entered, many people gasped in surprise, thinking that he had grown even bigger, at least three to five times larger than before. They'd heard that he'd followed He Songling to learn martial arts and embarked on the path to immortality; could this be his immortal form?
It wasn't until they saw that tiger-like face that everyone couldn't help but laugh.

"puff……"

"Hahahahaha!!"

Guan Shihua laughed the most unrestrainedly.

"Hey Xiao Na, what's wrong with you... Hahaha! Your cultivation doesn't seem to be going very smoothly!"

"No need to say anything, it was definitely Lao He who beat him up." Wang Ai smacked her lips. "That bastard is cunning."

"Old Wang, shut up a bit, aren't you afraid Old He will beat you up?"

Lu Jin glanced at Wang Ai. He had never been very satisfied with this fat old man. He was almost certain that Wang Ai was one of those who had plotted against Zheng Zibu back then. But without evidence, Lu Jin couldn't do anything.

A life without flaws!

"Speaking of which, Xiao Na, is Old He coming this time?" Monk Jie Kong spoke up. Ever since he wasted all his Qi energy for Xiao Zizai, he had hardly spoken at the Ten Elders Meeting, and it was rare for him to speak up today.

"It's hard to say." Na Ruhu said honestly, "I came here on my own, but you seniors all came from the same era as him and know him better than I do. He's unpredictable; he might appear in this room at any moment. It wouldn't be surprising."

"Yeah, you're right. That old guy was pretty cocky a while ago," Song Mian said, stroking his beard. "But he recently found a wife, and they're getting along well. He might not have time for us anymore. Old Lü, Old Zhang, you two know him best. What do you think?"

"What do I think? I said you'd better squat down and cover your head, or you'll get beaten up." Lu Ci snorted and actually squatted down in the corner with his head in his hands.
