Chapter 1384: Chapter 876: The Door
Before leaving, Nalan Shuo repeatedly urged Yang Xiao to come to work honestly recently, not to mess around with shady people, estimating that the transfer order from above would come down in at most two weeks, so he should not cause any trouble.
Yang Xiao naturally understood that Director Nolan was completely considering his own good, and most of the friends he had were practically qualified to be on the wanted list across various places.
In the following days, Yang Xiao lived a very regular life, working during the day, and going home to sleep at night. Sui, practically became his dedicated driver, responsible for pick-ups and drop-offs every day, and staying in the room next to Yang Xiao’s at night.
After all, since there was a bounty on Yang Xiao, Sui Chengguo was completely considering his safety; as long as the two were together, any ordinary expert wouldn’t really be a threat.
Nalan Shuo also made a whole new deployment regarding Yang Xiao’s safety, arranging for the tech department to come and install the latest monitoring and detection systems, and strengthening patrols around the villa area where Yang Xiao lived.
Actually, the best solution was to live within the Patrol Defense Office, but Yang Xiao refused.
After all, there’s no absolute certainty; once attacked by desperados, most of the people within the Patrol Defense Office wouldn’t have the ability to protect themselves, and fighting there would only restrict their performance.
Honestly, Yang Xiao also knew it’s quite difficult to kill him now. Not mentioning his collection of evil magic tools, he also had the Mirror Ghost and Sui’s two major helpers, and that medicine pill that could suppress the good sister.
Back then, even before entering You Level, he could rely on the pill to suppress and gain the strength to contend with a Half-step Nether Realm Apostle. Now that he had truly become a Ghost-level Apostle, consuming the pill would certainly make him stronger.
Though Elder Sheng had repeatedly emphasized before their separation not to take the second pill in a short time, if it came to life and death, he couldn’t care that much.
Besides all these, he had another thing, the "Buddha Seed" gifted by Black Buddha Mother.
Of course, the priority of this thing is the lowest unless he is so beaten that he can’t even catch his breath, and he would die without eating it.
"I don’t know how that Life Demanding Monk is doing; after all, the one chasing him back then was one of the strongest in the world, the Yin Temple High Priest." Lying in bed, Yang Xiao stared blankly at the dark ceiling.
For this strange monk that sent shivers down people’s spines, Yang Xiao had a pretty good impression; at their parting, the other party even kindly reminded him about the taboos of this "Buddha Seed," which has to be said as a kind of goodwill.
Thoughts flying, a young face soon appeared in Yang Xiao’s mind.
Young Sect Leader.
Lately, there had been no news from the Esoteric Sect, and compared to Dharma Sect or Yiling Academy which were obvious enemies, this young sect leader was the real major threat for Yang Xiao.
If not for the Cannibal Buddha’s cautiousness, sending the likes of Nalin Commander secretly to protect him, it’s estimated that he and Sui would have long been turned into accomplices of that young sect leader’s puppets.
Scenes from the past few years kept flashing in Yang Xiao’s mind, like a slideshow. Initially, he was just a frustrated scriptwriter, but in just three short years, he had grown into a prominent figure in Rongcheng.
Now, he was about to be transferred from Rongcheng to work in the Provincial Office.
The position was likely to be Deputy Captain of the Law Enforcement Team, on the same rank as Director Nalan and Captain Elder Yang, all at second-level full-time positions.
Recalling the hardships of this journey, only Yang Xiao could truly understand them.
All of this was well-deserved, not by luck, but by effort.
The upcoming days turned dull and repetitive, spending mornings in the office endorsing reports from each department, and afternoons either practicing boxing or chatting in Beibei Ximen Xiu and others’ investigation office. Even if he had dinner with everyone, he would hurry home before it got completely dark.
If dinner got delayed, Sui Chengguo would call to urge him.
During this time, Director Nalan also fulfilled his promise, contacting the Provincial Office to rescind the wanted notice for Sui.
According to Nalan Shuo, Yiling Academy didn’t even make a peep about this decision, clearly feeling guilty.
But anyway, now Sui was free and could go wherever he wanted, no longer having to hide like before.
One afternoon, after consulting with a Muay Thai coach, Yang Xiao wiped his sweat with a towel and walked off the field to rest. At this moment, Huang Qiang, who was waiting nearby, came forward, made sure no one else was nearby, and whispered, "Director Yang, Mr. Lu invites you to the training ground for training at nine tonight."
Mr. Lu, Lu Youdao... Instantly, the terrifying face of him surfaced in Yang Xiao’s mind, then he nodded, "Thank you, I got it."
Huang Qiang nodded and left; he was only responsible for delivering the message.
In fact, Yang Xiao had also been looking for an opportunity to meet him during this time. This man was the Sect Leader of the Gate of Shock, one of the Upper Three Gates of the Yu Yuan Sect, with strength at its peak at least on par with Director Nalan.
The key point was, Yang Xiao wanted to get some intelligence about that young sect leader from him.
At exactly nine o’clock in the evening, Yang Xiao arrived on time. The moment the elevator door opened, Yang Xiao looked at the dim and silent training hall outside, and an oppressive and stifling air rushed at him.
He’d been here more than once, more than three times at night, yet even so, every time he found it very uncomfortable.
This was very strange for Yang Xiao, given that he had seen big scenes, and now his hard strength surpassed most Intermediate Apostles of the Ghost Level, capable even of fighting against experts at the Upper Ghost Level.
