Liu Ruyan and Tao Yao quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, we will certainly live up to Your Majesty's expectations."
The Emperor of Fengdu nodded, walked up to Gu Tianchen, and then, feeling that it was somewhat unreliable, walked up to Lin Qiye and said, "After you go out, tell your father and Tingting that the Night Watchman Li Deyang... died in battle."
Lin Qiye nodded, holding the oranges.
The Primordial Celestial Venerable led the Emperor of Fengdu out of the imperial palace, and their figures gradually disappeared.
"Respectfully bidding farewell to the Heavenly Venerable, respectfully bidding farewell to the Great Emperor."
As soon as the two left, the crowd swarmed forward and scrambled for the oranges in Lin Qiye's hands.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't grab it, don't grab it! Leave one for me, leave one for me!"
The group squatted at the entrance of the imperial palace, eating oranges, their faces full of suspicion.
"That's not right. Logically speaking, the oranges left behind by the Celestial Venerable should be treasures of the Heavenly Court, full of spiritual energy. But why do I feel like they are just ordinary oranges, and they're even a bit sour..." Tao Yao said softly.
"Could it be that our cultivation level is too low, and we can't taste what an orange nourished by spiritual energy really tastes like?" Baili Pangpang doubted himself, but he never doubted the orange in his hand.
Cao Yuan tossed a segment of orange into his mouth, carefully tasted it, and it seemed to make no difference.
Shen Qingzhu raised an eyebrow. "You mean to say that we wild boars can't eat fine chaff?"
Gu Tianchen said, "Stop guessing, this is just a regular orange."
"How did you know?" Lin Qiye asked.
Gu Tianchen turned the half-peeled orange in his hand around, revealing the label stuck on the orange peel.
"I bought this for the Celestial Venerable during the last Battle of Cangnan; the tag is still on."
Everyone: ...
An Qingyu asked with a curious look, "It's been more than a year, how come these oranges are still so fresh?"
"If I can do it, what can't the Celestial Venerable do?"
Gu Tianchen then pulled out several identical oranges from the underground warehouse, handed them to everyone, and asked with a smile, "Want some more?"
Mission accomplished, everyone departed.
Tao Yao and Liu Ruyan were ordered to stay behind, while Karon continued to heal his injuries using the River of Oblivion. Once he recovered, he would come to find Lin Qiye and accompany him to find his mother.
Best agreed to stay by Gu Tianchen's side for three months. After three months, she will return to Egypt with the help of the golden mask.
Lin Qiye disguised himself as Li Deyang and said he was going to Urumqi to guard the border, successfully deceiving the old man and Tingting, but was exposed by Chen Han, the only remaining night watchman in Anta County.
Lin Qiye had no choice but to reveal that Li Deyang had been killed in battle.
After hearing this, Chen Han burned his application to be transferred out of Anta County, inheriting Li Deyang's will, and single-handedly guarded the mysterious primeval forest behind him...
Chapter 170 Prince
"A pair of Aces."
"I'm sorry."
Shen Qingzhu gently placed the Grey King on the table, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"I won."
Baili Pangpang threw the cards in his hand on the table with a frustrated look on his face and looked at his farmer teammate Cao Yuan.
"If it's not Old Cao, where is the King?"
Cao Yuan said, "It's in my hands."
"Then why don't you go out?"
"Since the two kings haven't appeared, I can't retrieve what I threw behind the king," Cao Yuan said seriously.
"So you just stood by and watched as the arrogant guy ran away with all his cards?" Baili Pangpang said speechlessly.
"Except for the King, I only have low-value cards in my hand, there's nothing I can do about it," Cao Yuan said with a shrug.
"Forget it, let Qingyu play with you guys. I'll go teach Jialan how to read and write."
An Qingyu adjusted her glasses and began shuffling the cards.
Cao Yuan and Shen Qingzhu automatically sat together and became teammates to fight against An Qingyu.
The key is that this guy has such a good memory, you can't beat him at all.
Shen Qingzhu removed three cards from the middle to prevent An Qingyu from keeping track of the cards.
"Let's see how you're going to keep track of the cards this time."
Gu Tianchen and Lin Qiye sat together, with Jialan and Best opposite them.
A beautiful woman in traditional Chinese style and a catgirl from an exotic land attracted the attention of many passengers.
Baili Pangpang walked over and looked at Jialan, who was teaching Best Chinese, with a completely bewildered expression.
"No, I'm not seeing things, am I? This is... the second to last student tutoring the last student?" Baili Pangpang asked in a low voice.
"What are you talking about? Best is a god, after all; he learns things very quickly," Gu Tianchen explained.
"But the teacher you hired... doesn't seem very reliable, right?" Baili Pangpang scratched his head.
“Chinese, of course, only those taught by people from the Han Dynasty are authentic,” Lin Qiye added.
Baili Pangpang suddenly realized that what they said made a lot of sense, and for a moment he couldn't refute it.
"By the way, neither of them had an ID card, so how did you manage to get them on the train?" Baili Pangpang asked curiously.
“The golden mask can make you invisible,” Gu Tianchen said.
"What about my sister Lan?"
"They're special team reserves, after all. It's perfectly reasonable for them to pull some strings at the Night's Watch headquarters, right?"
"Over the mountains and across the sea, there lives a group of Smurfs~"
Lin Qiye glanced at his phone; it was a call from Commander-in-Chief Ye Fan.
"Commander Ye."
"Congratulations on successfully completing the mission. Garan's application to join the team has been approved and will be sent over along with the other members' documents later."
"We were supposed to have a celebration banquet for you, but the situation is urgent and you have to rush to the next mission location."
"When?" Lin Qiye asked.
"Now."
"But now we..."
“I know you are still on the train. I have already sent a helicopter to the nearest temporary landing point.”
"Take your team and jump out of the car. The specific mission details will be given to you on the plane. I wish you a triumphant return," Ye Fan said.
"Understood, Commander Ye."
Lin Qiye led a group of people and sneaked up to the back of the car.
"Hey, what are you guys doing..."
Snapped!
A karate chop landed on the flight attendant's head, knocking her unconscious and revealing Gu Tianchen behind her.
"Hehe, the force was just right, leaving you stunned but not brain-damaged."
Lin Qiye's lips twitched slightly. "Jump out of the car."
The others were quick and agile, landing one after another, leaving only Baili Pangpang hesitant.
"Tianchen, this speed is too fast. Can you ask the driver to slow down?" Baili Pangpang asked Gu Tianchen behind him with a nervous expression.
"You've got too much to do, get out of here!"
Gu Tianchen kicked Baili Pangpang in the butt, sending him crashing down.
"what!!!"
A pig-like scream rang out, almost drowning out the roar of the train.
Baili Pangpang realized that he hadn't landed on the ground for a long time, as if something was tugging at his collar.
"Alright, stop howling."
Gu Tianchen picked up one of his hands and put it on the ground like a chicken.
"Next time you want to go on a thrilling or exciting ride, could you please tell me first? I'm pregnant," Baili Pangpang said with a resentful look.
"That thing in your belly was put there by the Celestial Venerable, not by me, so I don't need to take responsibility for it," Gu Tianchen said with a shrug.
"Scumbag!"
On the armed helicopter, an armed man handed Lin Qiye a document.
"Captain Lin, this is the mission document for this mission."
"Thank you, you've worked hard."
After Lin Qiye finished reading it, he handed it to Gu Tianchen beside him.
Gu Tianchen was too lazy to flip through it and handed it directly to the deputy captain An Qingyu.
"You won't even glance at it?" Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow.
"These brain-intensive tasks are yours and Lao Yu's responsibility; I'm only responsible for fighting," Gu Tianchen said with a smile.
"You won't be the captain, and you won't be the vice-captain either. What, are you thinking of being free from official duties?" Lin Qiye asked.
"The captain needs to oversee the overall situation, and the vice-captain needs to strategize. Both jobs require using your brain. You know, I get a headache whenever I use my brain."
"I will serve as the vanguard of our squad, responsible for charging into battle. When we encounter the enemy, I will rush in and teach them a lesson with my halberd!" Gu Tianchen said earnestly.
Baili Pangpang leaned close to Lin Qiye and whispered, "This reckless fellow was made captain because they were afraid that no one would take the blame after he caused trouble."
"You fatso, why are you spouting such obvious truths? Do you think I'm the kind of person who causes trouble every now and then?" Gu Tianchen angrily questioned.
Everyone nodded frantically.
"Let's talk about the mission. This time, our opponent is an old acquaintance of mine and Qiye's, the mysterious [Bell Crand]. Last time, we let it escape from Cangnan, but I didn't expect it to escape to Gusu."
