Tan Duanya was speechless.
Even with his calm state of mind, he was still shocked by this sentence.
He did not know that Dong Xue had a reason for saying this. She remembered that two days ago, Liu Haoming had sent her a private message on WeChat, asking if she would be executed by the country for hiding her supernatural abilities.
At that time, Dong Xue had only thought that it was ridiculous and funny for her classmate to ask such a ridiculous question. However, now that the Grand Secretary Of State had personally issued a mission with him as the target, Dong Xue could not help but think more about it. She had a vague understanding in her heart that Liu Haoming had most likely committed a serious crime.
"Grand Secretary Of State, as far as I know, Liu Haoming is not a bad person … What did he do?"
Dong Xue wanted to say something but hesitated. She wanted to exonerate her classmate and say something good, but before she knew the truth, it was not convenient for her to say many things.
The Grand Secretary Of State stared at Dong Xue for a moment and saw the concerned look on her face. He was relieved.
It seemed that she had a good relationship with the domain master's classmate. This was very advantageous and crucial for them.
From the fact that Li Zhengkang could repeatedly ask out the domain master who never went out, it could be seen that he cared a lot about this ordinary classmate relationship.
He was a terrifying existence that could destroy the world with a snap of his fingers, but he acted normal in front of his classmate and used his own way to maintain a peaceful and stable daily life … The domain master was indeed unpredictable.
…
"Not to kill him."
Tan Duanya shook his head. "But to protect him."
"Due to some unspeakable reasons, Liu Haoming is extremely important to Gengok. We must ensure his safety!"
Hearing this, the concerned look on Dong Xue's face gradually turned into shock.
Liu Haoming? Her classmate who was addicted to games and could not be more ordinary? He was actually so important to Gengok?
"We know that Liu Haoming will be traveling with Li Zhengkang to Mount Mang in Xijiang tomorrow. They are very likely to encounter unexpected situations on the way. What you and Lingwei need to do is to enter his tour group and stay close to him 24/7 to ensure his safety and prevent any suspicious people from getting close to him."
"That's all the mission content?"
"That's all."
Dong Xue was silent for a while. Ling Wei's bright eyes were filled with suspicion. This was the most peculiar mission she had encountered since joining Transcendent. It was as if she had been ordered to travel.
"Grand Secretary Of State, may I ask why Liu Haoming is so important to Gengok?" Dong Xue suddenly asked.
"No."
Tan Duanya flatly refused.
Since the Domain Master didn't reveal his true identity to Dong Xue in the Emperor Quake Ruins, it meant that he didn't want his classmates to know his true identity. Tan Duanya naturally wouldn't go against him.
"All you need to know is that this is Gengok's top secret, and you don't have the authority to know about it yet."
"Dong Xue, the reason why this mission was assigned to you is because you are Liu Haoming's classmate. This point gives you an advantage over others and allows you to carry out the mission more conveniently." Tan Duanya said.
"What about me?" Ling Wei asked curiously. "I'm not Liu Haoming's classmate. Why am I also called?"
Tan Duanya paused. He didn't want to tell Ling Wei that she was just a 'buy one get one free' bonus.
"You're in charge of being Dong Xue's assistant. Other than Liu Haoming, you also have to keep an eye on Li Zhengkang. Since you're both women, it'll be easier for the two of them to lower their guard."
"Lower their guard?"
Dong Xue repeated. She didn't quite understand this sentence. They were protecting Liu Haoming, not harming him. Why should they lower their guard?
Tan Duanya gave an explanation.
"During the mission, you have to interact with Liu Haoming as normal travelers or friends. You can't expose your intentions and goals, and you can't interfere with anything he wants to do."
Ling Wei's expression was thoughtful. She understood Tan Duanya's meaning. He wanted them to hide and disguise themselves. She was no stranger to this kind of mission.
Dong Xue hesitated. "But Liu Haoming knows my identity as an Extraordinaire, and he also knows that I work for a government agency …"
"It doesn't matter." Tan Duanya interrupted her. "No matter where you work, you have the right to travel. You just have to act less deliberately and let him know that you're here for him."
Tan Duanya knew very well that the Territory Master was omniscient and omnipotent. It was impossible to hide the fact that he arranged for Dong Xue to carry out a mission from him. However, the Territory Master could know, but they couldn't be blatant. They still had to put on a show. This was the conclusion he had reached after interacting with the Territory Master so far.
Dong Xue took a deep breath. "I understand. Please rest assured, Grand Secretary Of State. I'll do my best to complete this mission!"
Ling Wei followed suit. "Me too. I'll do my best to complete this mission!"
Tan Duanya nodded and added, "This mission is extraordinary. It's the highest-level mission you've carried out since joining Transcendent. When the time comes, Minister Lu will lead all Transcendent members to secretly cooperate with you. Nothing must go wrong!"
As soon as he said this, Dong Xue and Ling Wei were shocked again. They originally thought that only the two of them would carry out this mission. They didn't expect the entire Transcendent to be mobilized.
It should be known that Gengok had only sent a small team of them to the Emperor Quake Ruins that threatened the safety of the entire world.
Ever since Gengok established Transcendent, there had never been a case where the entire Transcendent would carry out a mission together. Such an unprecedented lineup made the two of them tremble. They understood that the Grand Secretary Of State was not lying when he said that Liu Haoming was incomparably important to Gengok.
"You two go back and make preparations. You don't have to participate in the cultivation of Tiangang Path anymore. I'll arrange for you to join the tour group later and send you the detailed plan of the mission," Tan Duanya said.
Dong Xue and Ling Wei obeyed and got up to leave.
Looking at the two girls' departing figures, Tan Duanya's gaze was meaningful.
He had already fulfilled his promise to Dong Xue and let her meet "Senior Good Fate". As for whether Dong Xue knew that the person she was going to protect was "Senior Good Fate", that would depend on whether "Senior Good Fate" wanted her to know.
Tan Duanya was old and experienced. He understood that the reason why Dong Xue cared so much about "Senior Good Fate" was because, other than thanking him for saving her life and wanting to persuade him to join Transcendent, she also had some thoughts of a young girl.
However, her little girlish thoughts were destined to fall through.
For an existence like the Domain Master, all the love, sorrow, and joy in the world were as insignificant as dust in his eyes, not worth mentioning.
…
…
After leaving Tan Duanya's office, Ling Wei couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked, "Sister Dong Xue, who exactly is that classmate of yours? Why would the entire Transcendent be mobilized to protect him? "
Dong Xue shook her head. "I don't know. I haven't seen him for many years after graduating from high school."
