Ch 109 – Establishing An Army

Going through a long corridor, Nuo Yi Long and Shangguan Xi Hong’s looks turned serious; their face was completely different from their previous expressions. It appears that their respect for this Supreme Ruler was extremely high. Able to cause pivotal figures of Tenglong country to become like this, perhaps the only person would be this ruler of the country.

A middle-aged man was standing in the courtyard with his hands clasped behind his back. He appeared to be attentively looking at a single flower that had just started to bloom.

The three of them stood about ten meters away silently waiting, not making a single sound.

Ten minutes later, the middle-aged man turned around. Lei Yu was instantly surprised; he never imagined that Tenglong country’s most noble and respected ruler was a middle-aged man around forty years old. This was a bit too inconceivable. Based on Lei Yu’s thoughts, a person with such a high status should be in their fifties or sixties.

Carefully detecting his surroundings, Lei Yu concluded this person in front of him had the strength of a mid-stage Fourth Order Warrior. In the Tenglong country, he was already considered an expert. But this was nothing, because Lei Yu’s perception ability had become monstrous after reaching the [Discharge] stage, he was able to detect that apart from Shangguan Xi Hong with the strength of a Sixth Order Warrior, someone else present also had that strength. And this person was inside a room not too far away, an aura that Lei Yu was not familiar with which meant he has not met this person before.

Lei Yu slightly frowned. It appears that it wasn’t only the four major forces of Tenglong country that had super experts that have reached the peak of strength; the country also had its own.

“You guys have arrived!” The middle-aged man smiled as his gaze fell upon Lei Yu. Lei Yu respectfully bent the upper-half of his body into a bow. A person that had the utmost respect of Shangguan Xi Hong and Nuo Yi Long, how could Lei Yu not act accordingly?

The middle-aged man had a warm look on his face, not the imagined unapproachable looks. But he did possess the dignity and the domineering aura that a normal person would not have, causing people to look at with awe.

The middle-aged man’s given name was Cang Hai, his family name Lin. He was not a descendant of the ancient martial clans and his current level of strength was purely cultivated on his own. His bone structures and his aptitude for cultivation were considered one in ten thousand, but he paled in comparison with Lei Yu. As for how he managed to attain this position, it may be his superior intellect and his ability to govern.

“Mr. Chairman, this is Lei Yu.” Shangguan Xi Hong pointed to Lei Yu on the side as he respectfully said this. Nuo Yi Long lowered his head without saying a word.

“Very good.” Lin Cang Hai smiled and nodded, his face filled with kindness. He did not reveal any feelings of superiority which made Lei Yu’s first impression of him not bad.

Lei Yu once again respectfully bowed. “Mr. Chairman, it is really a great pleasure to be meeting you today!”

“Ah, don’t worry about it. Xi Hong and Yi Long always mention about you, I’ve heard so many praises they give you that my ears are about to fall off, ha ha…”

Because it was his first time meeting the noble and prominent Chairman Lin, Lei Yu was a bit over excited at first. But as they continued to chat, he gradually loosened up and the anxiety he was feeling gradually disappeared. Yet inside his heart, he was somewhat unhappy with the expert that was hidden not too far from where they were. Why did this person hide himself? Was there really a need to do that?

But after thinking through; being the country’s Supreme Ruler, one has to be certain of their own safety. Concealing a peerless expert nearby was a reasonable thing since they could respond quickly to any emergencies that may emerge.

“Mr. Chairman.” As they were chatting, Lei Yu raised a question: “Please excuse my boldness, but could I speak to you alone?”

The faces of the other three slightly changed but it quickly returned to normal. Nuo Yi Long naturally believed Lei Yu would not cause any problems, but Shangguan Xi Hong was different. He didn’t know Lei Yu that well; one could say he barely knew him at all. When Lei Yu left Tenglong country, Shangguan Xi Hong went to Dragon Group to look for him multiple times but not getting any signs of where he went. This had caused him to be extremely angry.

Shangguan Xi Hong was about to say something to deny Lei Yu’s requests when Lin Cang Hai waved his hand to stop him from saying anything. With a smile and nodding, “You two can wait outside the door for a bit, I also want to chat with Lei Yu about something.”

“This…” Shangguan Xi Hong could not believe Lin Cang Hai would agree so easily. But seeing Nuo Yi Long having already bowed to leave, he didn’t want to say anything more and left as well.

Once the two left, Lei Yu smiled. “Thank you for your trust in me.”

“You don’t need to be so polite. In fact, the actions you’ve made have caused a huge wave. A shadowy organization that has existed in the Kou country for many years was actually destroyed by you, a lot of people were shouting out in excitement! I was one of them, ha ha ha…”

Lei Yu blinked a few times. He couldn’t believe Lin Cang Hai as a Supreme Ruler was capable of such humorous words; it was really beyond his expectations.

“Mr. Chairman…” Pausing for a bit, Lei Yu then asked: “I believe that you, specifically asking me to meet you today was definitely not just to have a casual chat. There should be some reason right? But I noticed that with Chief Shangguan and Commander Nuo present, you didn’t want to mention it and was waiting for a chance to send them away… am I right?”

Lin Cang Hai’s eyebrows twitched, Lei Yu’s words hit the mark. Regarding Shangguan Xi Hong, Lin Cang Hai didn’t really have a good impression of him and it wouldn’t be right to directly order him to leave. But with Lei Yu’s previous request to speak with him alone, it was a perfect opportunity for him to say something.
