Chapter 706: It’s Him…

Lan Qing continued to stride forward as though nothing was happening Lan Jue never looked back Just as it seemed her strike would land he thrust his hand back her way

All of a sudden the wo vortex open up in front of her The Disciplines-forged daggers she prided herself in fell into chaos and its energies scattered She reacted by urging her Discipline forth, but no matter how hard she called for her powers it was like some deep dark sea drank it all up Then, an unseen concussive force blasted her off her feet She tumbled head over heels down the hallway and, just before hitting the ground at her general’s feet, some invisible force eased the impact No harm came to her

She scraain when the harsh words of her superior stopped her dead “Enough You’re noeasy on you”

For aaround, she fixed him with petulant eyes “General, they-“

Lan Qing and his brother had already walked a good distance down the hall toward the conference roohtful expression

“Those are special young et your temper under control”

Colonel Xiaochen forced herself to take a deep breath, struggling to quench the rage that flared within her Inwardly, though, she promised to make those upstarts see the error of their ways!

Meanwhile the Lan brothers had already put the episode out of their minds The tantrum of a Western colonel was no concern of theirs

“I apologize Ade likely confused her” The Northern lieutenant spoke placatingly

Lan Qing glanced at his shoulder board and nodded “It’s fine”

“I’ aardly in front of them

“What?” He looked at the young officer

“I was a little distracted I forget that we are required to verify your identities If you could follow me to the verification instruments?” He had been flustered, it was true When he’d seen who he was escorting he forgot the process and lead them down the hallway

Lan Qing was readily identifiable, certainly, but although Lan Jue looked familiar he couldn’t place who he was But even if he did the identity verification process was required for the safety of the conference goers

“Alright!”

The brothers followed the officer to an area off to the side of the conference room

As they walked in Lan Jue scanned the area The conference chahly the saether there were about five hundred seats arranged around the circular room with a raised platform at the front Twenty seats had been arrayed behind tables on the platform

Lan Qing would likely occupy one of those seats The thought made Lan Jue proud

The lieutenant brought them to a set of instruments nearby They arrived the same time as the Westerners they’d just encountered

“What happened Ross?” The officer leading the Western delegation was also a lieutenant couide with some confusion

Ross regarded hiot to check their identities outside I had to ask theuished visitors from the West to their seats”

“Alright”
