I started by slashing through the enemy's territory, and I drew so many affixes that my hands w

The interior of the largest fortress in the fortress complex.

Walking through the cold metal corridor, a cold wind constantly blows from the end of the corridor.

We continued until we reached the third floor and stopped in front of an office.

"The director is waiting for you inside. Please go in."

"Thank you both for your help."

After Jiang Qin thanked him, he stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Enter."

With permission, he pushed open the door and entered the director's office.

Yue Beishan, who was working on official business behind his desk, looked up, smiled when he saw that it was Jiang Qin, and pointed to the sofa next to him.

"I'm sorry, I was supposed to let you rest for a couple more days, but an unexpected incident occurred. The General Administration is currently short-staffed, so we urgently called you in to take up your post."

"Director Yue, you don't need to be so polite. This is simply my duty."

"Hmm... Did you learn about your job responsibilities on the way here?"

"I understand a little bit. In short, it's about being someone's follower and doing whatever they tell you to do, right?"

Upon hearing this explanation, Yue Beishan paused for a moment, then smiled nonchalantly: "Your understanding isn't wrong. Let me briefly explain what you're going to do next..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

The office door suddenly opened, and a young woman in uniform walked in.

She was as cold as... a machine.

"Yue Beishan, I've told you before, I don't need any adjutants; they would only be a burden to me."

Yue Beishan was already used to the other person's tone, after all, in terms of seniority, this person was far more experienced than him.

He said helplessly, "Cangling, this is also a regulation of the bureau."

"Moreover, the adjutant we've found for you this time is different from the previous ones; I believe you'll be satisfied."

Then Yue Beishan looked at Jiang Qin, who was sitting on the sofa, and began to introduce the woman.

"This is your next superior, Enforcer Cang Ling."

"Cang Ling is the most senior law enforcement officer in the East China Bureau, and she also bears the heaviest responsibilities. Just yesterday, her 98th adjutant was killed by cultists in an attack, which is why I called you here in such a hurry."

"If we're talking about the most suitable person in the entire Divine Physiognomy Realm of China to be Cang Ling's adjutant, I think that person is none other than you."

Jiang Qin looked surprised, not expecting that he held such a high position in the heart of this director.

Cang Ling, standing to the side, crossed her arms and snorted coldly, mercilessly exposing her words: "This should be the 63rd time you've said that."

"..."

The atmosphere in the office suddenly became a little awkward, and Yue Beishan wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead.

"Believe me, I'm absolutely serious this time!"

Cang Ling looked at Jiang Qin. Even though Jiang Qin had broken through to the Divine Phase realm at such a young age, it did not cause her any ripples. She said, "To become my adjutant, you must first pass one of my tests."

The words were spoken.

Jiang Qin sensed a dangerous aura looming over him and instinctively activated his slashing domain, aiming a blow at Cang Ling.

The slash seemed to collide with some kind of attack, and then both dissipated at the same time.

The calm in Cang Ling's eyes finally shattered; her eyes flickered slightly. "The same power as mine?"

Her attack method is an invisible slash.

She had just intended to use this opportunity to test Jiang Qin's abilities.

Unexpectedly, this young man used the same invisible slash as her.

Yue Beishan sat behind the table and said with a smile, "You should have passed the test, right? Then let's set off quickly. This child is a rare find in our East China Bureau, so you must cherish him."

Cang Ling did not respond and turned to walk out of the office.

Jiang Qin hesitated for a moment, then followed him out.

After the two left, a woman dressed in a heavy ancient robe suddenly appeared in the office.

She was completely shrouded in an ancient robe, with her hat brim hanging low, obscuring her features.

"Aren't you going to ask me why I paired these two up?"

The woman's voice was clear and melodious.

Yue Beishan smiled and shook his head: "Since it was Elder Qiu who gave this instruction, there must be a reason for it. Moreover... even if you hadn't specifically instructed me, I would have assigned the two of them together."

"Oh, why is that?" the woman asked, casting a glance my way.

Yue Beishan's gaze was deep, and he said in a deep voice, "Because they are of the same kind, whether it is Cang Ling or Jiang Qin."

"These two people give me the feeling that they live for some kind of goal, and once they lose that goal, they seem to become walking corpses. They seem to be in harmony with their surroundings, but they deliberately keep their distance, like two wild beasts destined to be alone."

"Your guess is correct."

The woman affirmed his idea and said with emotion, "Cangling is the last hero of the Cangling Realm. She has lived for over a hundred years, and even after living in this world for a hundred years, she still has no attachment to it."

"As for Jiang Qin... he carries a tremendous mission on his shoulders."

"His past is impossible to ascertain."

His future is unpredictable.

"He is now shrouded in a fog. Even at such close range just now, I couldn't see through him. If I tried to touch and analyze his soul, my intuition told me that I might die."

Hearing this, Yue Beishan was greatly surprised.

The person before her was one of the strongest humans, a pillar of strength against ferocious beasts. Even she said so, so what kind of secret did Jiang Qin carry...?

Outside the fortress at this time.

An aircraft took off vertically, unleashing a torrent of wind, and sped toward the border.

This is Cangling's exclusive flying vehicle, and it is much faster than ordinary flying vehicles.

Cang Ling tossed a stack of documents to Jiang Qin and said calmly, "This is the mission we're going to carry out next, SS-level."

S-rank corresponds to the Divine Manifestation Realm, while SS-rank naturally corresponds to the Earthly Martial Realm.

Jiang Qin's lips twitched. The first mission he was assigned was against a Martial Realm expert. What Elder Long said was true; the missions of the East China Bureau were indeed unusually dangerous.

He opened the documents and began to read them carefully.

"The Ge family of the frontier...colluded with ferocious beasts...traded people...over a thousand people were all sentenced to death!"

Cang Ling nodded calmly and said, "The Ge family patriarch is at the Earth Martial Realm. I will deal with him."

"The surrounding Spirit Suppression Bureau and military personnel will also assist in the execution, but only for martial artists below the Spirit Sea Realm. So, the ten Divine Phase Realm martial artists from the Ge family are entrusted to you."

Jiang Qin swallowed hard. "Cang... Officer, I'd like to ask if the intensity of our missions is always this high?"

"No, if it were before, I would have called some Divine Aspect Realm warriors from headquarters for support, but it won't be that troublesome in the future." Cang Ling shook her head and stared at Jiang Qin, saying, "With your strength, I think you should be able to handle ten warriors of the same realm without any problem."

"Also, from now on you can just call me Cang Ling."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qin finally understood why he was the 98th adjutant.

"Cang...Ling, did any of your former adjutants ever complain to you about this?"

"no."

"Um?"

"Never, because they knew that every enemy they killed made the country safer, and with this belief they kept advancing wave upon wave, until finally... they all sacrificed themselves for their beliefs."
