"Her?"
Lu Haoran's expression changed back and forth. He was not unfamiliar with the candidate mentioned by Tan Duanya.
"She is the same as Li Zhengkang, an old classmate of the Domain Master. Going on a trip with an old classmate is a trip, but adding another old classmate is not too much," Tan Duanya said.
…
…
Capital, in a sealed secret room of the State Council.
Dozens of the first batch of Transcendents in the country who cultivated the Celestial Dipper Path were sparring in pairs.
Since it was a sparring session, they naturally stopped at a certain point. The sparring session was purely based on the strength of their spiritual power and did not use their extraordinary abilities.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"
Dong Xue and a short-haired girl fought fiercely. Every move of the two produced a sonic boom as if they were going to tear the air apart.
The short-haired girl was obviously weaker than Dong Xue. In less than ten rounds, she was already at a disadvantage. She was completely suppressed and exhausted from defending. In the end, Dong Xue pointed a finger gun at the short-haired girl's throat and ended the fight.
"Sister Dong Xue, you're so powerful!"
The short-haired girl admitted defeat. Not only was there no dissatisfaction in her tone, but there was also a strong sense of admiration.
If Liu Haoming was here, he would be able to recognize that this short-haired girl was Dong Xue's teammate in the Emperor Zhen Dungeon. Her name was Lingwei.
"We started cultivating the Celestial Dipper Path at the same time, but Sister Dong Xue's cultivation progress has far surpassed mine. I'm so ashamed …"
"The road of cultivation is still very long. A momentary lead doesn't mean anything."
Dong Xue comforted.
She knew very well that although her current cultivation was outstanding among her peers, she was still too far behind the lucky senior. She was so far behind that she could not even see his back.
Once upon a time, Dong Xue set Tan Duanya as her goal to surpass. However, ever since she came out of the Emperor Zhen Dungeon, her goal was only the lucky senior. The scene of him killing the Emperor Zhen Dungeon with a sword was still vivid in her mind and became the source of motivation for her to cultivate diligently.
After the sparring session, everyone sat cross-legged and adjusted their breathing. Suddenly, an officer walked into the secret room and said,
"Dong Xue, Lingwei, both of you follow me."
Dong Xue and Lingwei did not ask the officer anything. As Transcendents, in a sense, they were also soldiers, and in the army's duty was to obey orders.
The two immediately stood up and followed the officer out of the secret room.
The officer led them through several cloisters, and soon they came to the door of an office.
"You can go in. The Grand Secretary Of State is waiting for you inside," the officer said. He had no intention of going in with them.
Dong Xue and Ling Wei looked at each other, confused by the Grand Secretary Of State's sudden summons.
Walking into the office, just as the officer had said, Tan Duanya was sitting at the tea table. His aged face was dignified yet gentle.
"You guys are here." Tan Duanya smiled.
"Greetings, Grand Secretary Of State."
The two of them saluted.
"You don't have to be so formal. Come and sit here." Tan Duanya pointed at the seat beside him.
After the two of them sat down, Tan Duanya picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for each of them.
Dong Xue's expression was still calm, but Ling Wei had never experienced such a situation before. Overwhelmed by the unexpected favor, she said, "Thank you, Grand Secretary Of State!"
Dong Xue picked up the teacup and asked, "May I know why the Grand Secretary Of State called us over?"
Tan Duanya did not answer directly. He just fiddled with the tea set on the table. Looking at his skillful technique, it was obvious that he had been immersed in the tea ceremony for many years.
"Dong Xue, I heard from Changhui that you have been looking for the whereabouts of Senior Good Life in Tokyo ever since you came out of the Emperor Quake Ruins. Even until the day you returned to China, you were still looking for him?" Tan Duanya suddenly asked.
"Yes." Dong Xue nodded.
"I want to know, why do you want to find Senior Good Life so much? If he appears in front of you, what will you do to him? "
"Senior Good Life saved me, the captain, and the others in the Emperor Quake Ruins. I want to thank him again. If he appears in front of me, besides thanking him, I will also try to persuade him to join the Transcendent." Dong Xue answered honestly.
"Senior Good Life is a very patriotic person. If our Gengok has him joining us, it will be like adding wings to a tiger. No Transcendent force in the world will dare to underestimate us."
Tan Duanya nodded and said with emotion, "If you can persuade him successfully, it will indeed be of great benefit to Gengok."
Dong Xue said dejectedly, "Unfortunately, ever since we parted at the Emperor Quake Ruins that day, there has been no news from Senior Good Life."
Tan Duanya was silent.
He did not tell Dong Xue that the Senior Good Life she had always wanted to find was actually her high school classmate, Liu Haoming. Her eyes were covered by fog. Good Life Hao Ming was so far away, yet so close.
Tan Duanya only found out about the relationship between Dong Xue and Liu Haoming not too long ago.
When he first noticed the existence of the Domain Master, Tan Duanya asked the Transcendent to secretly investigate all the people who had close contact with him, from his neighbors, relatives, and friends.
Four days ago, Liu Haoming accepted Li Zhengkang's invitation to have a meal at the Cape of Good Hope. In the end, he was kidnapped by criminals. After that incident, Tan Duanya thought that there was a major problem with Li Zhengkang. While he asked the Transcendent to investigate him, he also investigated all of Liu Haoming's classmates from kindergarten to university. In the end, he unexpectedly found out that Dong Xue was also Liu Haoming's high school classmate.
Tan Duanya then found out that when Dong Xue said that she was having a meal with her old classmate, she was actually having a meal with the Domain Master!
However, because of his temporary recruitment, she rushed to the capital overnight and missed the meal that night.
…
"Gengok has also been looking for the whereabouts of Senior Good Life recently. If he is found one day, I will let you meet him." Tan Duanya said.
Dong Xue was stunned. Tan Duanya's promise made her stunned but also gave her a pleasant surprise.
"Thank you, Grand Secretary Of State!" She thanked him solemnly.
Tan Duanya's face was expressionless. He brewed another pot of tea and replenished the tea in Dong Xue and Ling Wei's cups.
Finally, he said, "The reason why I called you here today is because I have a very important task for you."
Hearing this, the two girls showed a stern expression. They knew that a task that the Grand Secretary Of State personally issued and emphasized as important could not be easy.
"This person, Dong Xue. You know him."
As Tan Duanya spoke, he took out a photo from his pocket and placed it on the table.
Dong Xue and Ling Wei looked at it at the same time.
When they saw the person in the photo clearly, Dong Xue's brain exploded. Her pupils instantly shrank to the size of a needle tip.
"Why is it him?!"
"Who is he? He looks so handsome. "
Ling Wei was puzzled.
"He is Dong Xue's high school classmate. His name is Liu Haoming. He is currently running an internet cafe in Dragon City." Tan Duanya explained to Ling Wei.
"The target of this mission is him."
"Are we … going to kill him?"
Dong Xue asked hesitantly.
