Chapter 1620: Chapter 947: Wu Qingcang_4
"Little Yang, you’ve made a significant contribution this time. This Sun Wangshan holds quite a high position within Yiling Academy and is also a direct lineage of that Sheng Jingxuan. You’re a smart person; you should understand that when Elder Dean Sheng Yanlin returns to compete for the academy, our Patrol Defense Office originally wouldn’t have intervened. After all, that’s their private affair, and we had no legitimate reason to step in. But now... hahaha, with him, everything is negotiable!"
"When Director Hong heard it was you who captured the person, can you guess what he said?" Old Director Yang squinted his eyes, teasing.
"What did he say?" Yang Xiao waited excitedly for praise from the leader.
Old Director Yang mimicked Director Hong’s tone over the phone, voice steady yet imposing, "Director Hong said ’great’ three times in a row, then sighed and said it was the brave one who ventured into the Dharma Sect alone, truly a pillar of our Patrol Defense Office. He even said we need a hundred Yang Xiaos in the Patrol Defense Office!"
"Little Yang, when Captain Witch and I return this time, we’ll definitely credit you with the first merit!" Captain Yang Lao looked at Yang Xiao with full appreciation in his eyes.
"I don’t deserve it. If not for the two seniors rushing to aid from a thousand miles away, my little life would have ended. I won’t say thanks now, but let me repay you in the future!" Yang Xiao knew he was set to be promoted to the Provincial Office this time.
"Director Yang, come over here." Wu Qingcang, already seated in the car, rolled down the window and beckoned Yang Xiao.
Not knowing why, Yang Xiao jogged forward, knelt slightly at the car door, keeping his head lower than the leader’s position, and looked up to the Chief Wu.
"Captain Witch, do you need me for something?" Yang Xiao beamed with a bright smile.
"Get in the car, I have something to discuss with you." Wu Qingcang opened the car door voluntarily.
When his gaze crossed with Wu Qingcang’s, Yang Xiao sensed a twinge of ominous foreboding. But faced with the invitation of his future superior, he couldn’t refuse, so he apprehensively got into the car and sat next to Wu Qingcang in the rear backseat.
The driver’s seat was empty, and the passenger seat was also unoccupied, clearly indicating that Wu Qingcang had dismissed everyone beforehand, not wanting a second person to overhear their conversation.
"There’s always been a question I’ve wanted to ask you," Wu Qingcang turned his head to look at Yang Xiao, his gaze calm yet profound, "I can feel that even if Captain Yang Lao and I hadn’t come last night, those people wouldn’t have been able to kill you. It’s not just them; even if you and I fought to the death, you’d still be the one standing at the end. Why?"
This question immediately stupefied Yang Xiao, who had speculated countless possibilities after getting in the car but hadn’t anticipated this at all.
But he also immediately realized that there was a problem with that Ghost Eye. Wu Qingcang had once scanned him with it, and he must have noticed something.
At this moment, Yang Xiao’s mind was unusually calm. His biggest secret was the Hundred Demons Coffin Clothes. Sheng Yanlin had promised him that not more than five people in this world could discern anything about it.
Yang Xiao didn’t believe Wu Qingcang was one of them. Although strong, it depended on whom he was compared against. In front of Elder Sheng, the Commerce Association Chairman, or the young Sect Master, he was clearly outmatched.
Just as Yang Xiao was about to use a fabricated reason to bluff his way through, Wu Qingcang seemed to see through his trickery and shook his head, "You don’t need to find excuses to dodge me; everyone has their own hidden secrets, as do I. I won’t force you to speak if you’re unwilling, but remember, in the future when you come to work for my Law Enforcement Team, there are a few things I must say upfront."
"I’ve seen too many outstanding young people like you, but their endings usually aren’t that good. You’re smart and loyal; I hope you don’t go down their path in the future."
"Additionally... the name Dongfang Bai, Sect Hierarch of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, doesn’t suit you. Emperor Ye Xiao is not bad."
