Standing over 2,000 m above Paris in the sky, Xia Pingan had a special feeling watching this huge city crawling under his feet.
Ignoring the occasional gunshots in the city, Paris was full of lights at night. Without the bustling traffic flow and the nightlife, most of the people in this city had returned to their own homes like birds returning to their nests. The meandering Seine River was pretty tranquil. The string of red balloons on the top of the iron tower in the distance was also pretty eye-catching.
The red balloons were an agreement between Xia Pingan and Fang Lingxuan. If the Committee of Order wanted to ask for "foreign aid" or needed his "help", they would hang red balloons on the iron tower.
Of course, in order not to frighten those who liked to look at the sky with a telescope at night, such as Emily, who was too curious, Xia Pingan hid himself in the sky using his illusion skill.
It was a big secret that Zhang Tie could fly!
At least it was on the earth!
As far as Xia Pingan knew, no summoner on Earth had the ability to fly, no matter how many Realm Pearls they had integrated, because there was no Holy Spring. He was the only summoner on Earth who could fly at this moment.
"Boom..."
When Xia Pingan was looking at the city of Paris, he heard the roar of a plane's engine. A huge passenger plane passed by hundreds of meters above Xia Pingan's head and flew towards the airport of Paris. Of course, the pilot of the passenger plane didn't notice Zhang Tie standing in the sky at this moment.
"If I wear a pair of red underwear on the outside, will it frighten others..." Xia Pingan burst out into laughter as he looked at the direction of the 11th arrondissement. Closely after that, he disappeared in a flash.
Only after a short while, Xia Pingan had appeared in the sky above the 11th arrondissement.
After glancing around, Xia Pingan saw a string of red balloons on the top of a square office building near the People's Square in the 11th arrondissement — — it should be here.
…
When Xia Pingan appeared on the street outside the stronghold of the Committee of Order in District 11, he immediately attracted the attention of several armed security guards outside the stronghold.
Xia Pingan only slightly released a trace of his own aura, causing his divine power to fluctuate, letting the other party already know that he had arrived.
Before the security guards approached, Fang Lingyin suddenly flew out of a window of the office building like a shadow and landed directly in front of Xia Pingan.
Today, Fang Lingxuan was wearing black leather pants, a black t-shirt, and a windbreaker. She looked especially cool.
Seeing Xia Pingan, Fang Lingyi's eyes flashed. She let out a long sigh. If this man didn't appear today, Department Head Yan would probably doubt the reliability of her agreement with this man.
"Luo An, you've come!"
"Yes, I've been in seclusion these days. I just saw the balloons you hung up!" Xia Pingan smiled.
Of course, he wasn't in seclusion. Before coming here, he just wanted to find a place to settle down so that he could be at ease.
"Let's go in and talk!"
"Okay!" Xia Pingan looked at the building in front of him, "This is the stronghold of the Committee of Order in Paris?"
"You can say so. We have more than one stronghold!" Fang Lingyin waved her hand to let the security guards who were approaching them leave. She directly led Xia Pingan to the building. After just a few steps, Xia Pingan felt that someone in the building seemed to be peeping at him from the window. He looked up and saw a familiar figure standing behind a window of the building — — Fang Lingshan!
Why did Fang Lingshan come to Paris?
Fang Lingshan was looking at him attentively.
He and Fang Lingshan exchanged glances in the air. Xia Pingan smiled slightly while Fang Lingshan frowned slightly with a trace of doubt on her face. Then, Tu Polu's figure appeared behind Fang Lingshan. He lowered his head and sized up Xia Pingan who was walking towards the building. There was another fellow beside him. It was actually Li Yunzhou.
What a coincidence!
Xia Pingan's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show it on his face. However, the emotions of meeting an old friend surged in his heart.
…
In the room, Fang Lingshan turned around and pulled down the curtains. She glanced at Tu Polu, "I'm sure now … I've never seen this person before."
"That's strange. How does this guy know you?" Tu Polu touched his bald head, "This guy doesn't look very strong. Is he really that powerful …"
"Shanshan, do you think that guy saw your photo somewhere and fell in love with you? He can't help but have a crush on you!" Li Yunzhou thought he was clever and said with a wretched expression, "Hehehe, some perverts are like that. They can do many terrible things just by looking at a photo. You have to be careful. Don't lose those stockings and clothes you're wearing …"
"Get lost …"
"I should be able to get to know him officially later …"
…
When Xia Pingan arrived at the building, he saw a bespectacled, serious-looking middle-aged man with slightly white hair walking toward him.
The middle-aged man's aura was very strong. He was at least in the Sixth Primal realm.
"This is Minister Yan from Great Yan's Committee of Order. He's also the person in charge of the Committee of Order in Paris!" Fang Lingyin introduced Xia Pingan and Minister Yan to each other. "Minister Yan, this is Luo An!"
"Hello, Mister Luo An. You can call me Yan Qing!" Minister Yan extended his hand and shook Xia Pingan's hand forcefully. "Thank you for your help in the incident at the 11th Ward, Mister Luo!"
Xia Pingan smiled faintly when he sensed the surging divine power from Minister Yan's hand. With a slight movement, he forced Minister Yan's divine power back and retracted it. "You're too kind, Minister Yan!"
Department Head Yan had just confirmed one thing. This Luo An should be a Seven Sun Realm Summoner. The tide of divine power in his body was even stronger than his own. It was impossible for him to be a fake. Moreover, through careful observation, he discovered that this Luo An was not someone else in disguise.
With this knowledge, Minister Yan was even more polite to Xia Pingan. After exchanging a few pleasantries, the three of them arrived at a small conference room. After closing the door, they sat on both sides of the conference table and began their formal meeting.
"To be honest, ever since Mister Luo An showed off his skills in the 11th Ward, we've been paying attention to him. We don't have any ill intentions. We're just sorting out information. It's also one of the daily tasks of our Committee of Order. What puzzles us is that we discovered that Mister Luo An didn't seem to be a summoner before, nor did he display any extraordinary abilities. I'm personally very curious as to how Mister Luo An managed to become a summoner in just a few years. Could Mister Luo An reveal this question?" Minister Yan's expression was very serious as he spoke. That meticulous and serious look gave people an inexplicable pressure.
Xia Pingan also had a serious expression as he sighed. "It's hard to say what happens to people. Before I came to France, I only wanted to be an artist. I didn't expect that I would become a summoner one day. However, that's what happens to people. My process of becoming a summoner is unimaginable, but that's the truth. That year, I went to the Alps to do a photoshoot. When I was climbing, I accidentally slipped and fell off a cliff. I thought I was done for, but I didn't expect that when I woke up, I would find myself in a cave. There was an old man with a strange temper in the cave. That old man taught me a lot of things, and my fate changed as a result. I quietly became a summoner …"
Minister Yan listened attentively. His face didn't move at all, and he didn't have much other expression. He seemed to be very focused. However, Fang Lingxuan's expression became strange as she listened. She almost couldn't help but roll her eyes at Xia Pingan. How thick is your skin? You actually used this "Adventures of a Young Man Who Fell Off a Cliff" on yourself? Do you think others are fools?
"Mr. Luo An's experience is really enviable …" Minister Yan, who was listening attentively, suddenly laughed. A pile of fine crow's feet appeared at the corner of his eyes. Then, Minister Yan suddenly reached out his hand and placed something on the table. He handed it to Xia Pingan. "This should be Mr. Luo's. Now, it's returned to its rightful owner!"
Xia Pingan took a look. The thing that Minister Yan handed over was the silver pendant he gave to the innkeeper when he was staying at the small hotel. The pendant also had Olivier's photo. Yes, he used this thing to exchange for his first meal after returning to Earth.
The fact that Minister Yan was able to hand him this necklace meant that his previous experience in the small hotel had been thoroughly investigated by others.
It had to be said that the Committee of Order was quite efficient.
Xia Pingan looked at the pendant, smiled slightly, and shook his head. Then, he said with a sigh, "The old man is right. The most difficult thing to cultivate one's heart in the mortal world is to cultivate. What is cultivation? It is to burn one's heart in a furnace, to get rid of the impurities and preserve the pure. After experiencing pain, suffering, love, hate, and love, one still has to be able to restrain one's bestial nature and greed, wash away the distracting thoughts in one's heart, and see one's true nature. This is cultivation. I'm very happy that I did it!"
Xia Pingan's tone and expression were like that of a wise man and philosopher who had experienced the vicissitudes of life. There was even a hint of transcendence in his tone and expression. "Although I've lost some things, I've also gained a better understanding of who I am and found my true self. I understand where my strength and ability should be used. If I hadn't passed this stage, I would have been just an ordinary person conquered by extraordinary power. This is not controlling power, but being controlled by power. Thank you, Minister Yan, for helping me find this necklace from the small hotel, but this pendant no longer has any meaning to me now. It only represents my past …"
Looking at Xia Pingan's expression and his eloquence, Fang Lingxuan suddenly felt a little unconfident. Could it be that this guy's "Adventures of a Teenager" was actually true? There really was an expert guiding him …
