Chapter 225: Consultant (I)
Next, Chen Yiming and Xie Jimin discussed the time to report before he returned to the main hall of the villa.
An hour later, during the banquet, Chen Yiming made his intentions clear and rejected the city guardian’s request to stay in the city.
As the higher-ups in Fanghua City sighed, Chen Yiming, who was the main guest, quickly left the villa.
In the span of over a week, he had already earned all the reputation he could get from the higher-ups of the province. Fanghua City could not provide him with anything else of value.
As for his relationship with the higher-ups of Fanghua City, Chen Yiming didn’t even care about the sect masters of the large sects. Why would he care about them?
In the end, these people were too weak.
If it was the higher-ups of Jiangnan City, that would be another matter.
…
East Lake City.
It was an ordinary day. It was not the end of the year, nor was it any important festival.
However, the city was not peaceful. Soldiers had already set up fences at the city gate to maintain order.
The onlookers, who did not know what was going on, were blocked off and could only watch the situation at the city gate from afar.
Both sides of the city gate were filled with big shots that did not usually show themselves.
They were the higher-ups of East Lake City, including the new city guardian, Feng Zhijiang, most of the military’s warriors, and the leaders of the various warrior factions in the city.
After settling the matter in Fanghua City, Chen Yiming led his team straight to East Lake City.
The transportation of the loot he had gotten had already been arranged. With his current reputation and the backing of a large provincial sect, which faction would dare to provoke him?
As they approached the city gate, Chen Yiming sighed.
“A year ago, when I had just transmigrated, I was still someone who had dropped out of high school and was helping out at home.
After just a year, all the major and minor factions in East Lake City, including the higher-ups, are personally coming to the city gate to welcome me as a hero who has returned from the battlefield.”
If Chen Yiming had only been a genius disciple from the Myriad Phenomena Sect with a bright future a week ago, East Lake City would have had to give him enough respect. However, it wasn’t to the extent that they would lower themselves and take the initiative to curry favor with him.
However, the news of Chen Yiming resolving the situation with the three cities near the sea of flowers and heading south to Fanghua City to wipe out the giant steel-spear spiders had spread. His achievements made it such that the higher ups in East Lake City were unable to sit still when he returned.
In the future, as long as Chen Yiming stayed in East Lake City, be it the beast tide or other threats, the entire East Lake City would be safe.
“Unknowingly, East Lake City has already become a small pond to me. With just one move from me, the whole city might collapse,”?Chen Yiming thought to himself.
He was not boasting. That was the truth.
With his current combat strength, if he transformed into a mutant beast, he could flatten East Lake City in the blink of an eye.
All the martial arts power in East Lake City, combined with the army, could not hold him back for even a moment.
A ball of black fog streaked across the sky and quickly arrived at the city gate.
Chen Yiming dispersed the black fog, revealing the elite members of the hunting team and the disciples of the Mantis Snake Sword School.
When they saw who it was, music immediately rang out from the top of the city wall. The cannons rose into the air, and the crowd was in an uproar.
“Welcome back. You’ve worked hard.”
Feng Zhijiang, the city guardian, walked forward to welcome him on behalf of the higher-ups of East Lake City.
Facing the city guardian who was the last line of defense for East Lake City, Chen Yiming felt that the situation was ridiculous.
It had to be known that just some time ago, the previous city guardian, Ren Pingsheng, had tried to kill him. However, he had been forced to retreat by his opponent’s powerful recovery ability.
“No, I just did what I could,” Chen Yiming said humbly.
Feng Zhijiang took the initiative to shake hands, and Chen Yiming didn’t reject him.
The cameraman at the side recorded this moment.
In the future, this photo would be displayed in the East Lake City Museum as evidence of Chen Yiming’s history with East Lake City.
The members of the team behind Chen Yiming also enjoyed the honor. All of them were overwhelmed with emotions and flushed with excitement.
This was especially true for the elites of the Chen corporation’s hunting team. As members of Chen Yiming’s faction, they were overjoyed.
After today, the recruitment requirements for the hunting team would definitely increase greatly. The difficulty of joining the team would be very much different from before.
At this moment, Wan Ya’s head was buzzing and she was feeling dizzy.
Compared to Chen Yiming, her ex-boyfriend, Gu Chen, was like a candle in the wind. Even his master, Cheng Shikun, the head of the Kunshan Sect, wouldn’t receive such treatment.
If she had eloped with Gu Chen on a whim back then, she would probably still be hiding in some corner, avoiding the pursuit of the Myriad Phenomena Sect.
It would be totally unlike now, when she was standing here as Chen Yiming’s girlfriend and enjoying the attention from everyone.
In the crowd, the head of the Flowing Cloud Sword School, An Yuhong, stood beside Wan Rong.
“You’re really lucky to have picked up such a disciple without having to do anything,” An Yuhong said enviously.
“That’s true. It hasn’t been long since I became his mentor, but my disciple has already far surpassed me.”
Wan Rong could not hide the smile on his face.
As the head of a martial arts school, the others were still nurturing qualified successors, while he could retire at any time.
“How about we organize an exchange competition between the martial arts schools in East Lake City?” An Yuhong suddenly suggested.
The smile on Wan Rong’s face disappeared.
It was obvious what An Yuhong was up to by choosing this timing when Chen Yiming returned to East Lake City for an exchange competition.
“The disciples of the Mantis Snake Sword School have just returned from the battlefield. They need time to recover. Let’s hold it off for a while.”
Wan Rong found an excuse to refuse.
Since Chen Yiming revealed his status that was similar to that of the sect master of a large sect, as long as the other factions sensed a chance, they would instantly become like sharks that smelled blood. Wan Rong would no longer be able to control the situation.
The main reason was that his youngest daughter, Wan Ya, had a blemished history and he could not make a big deal out of it.
“Look at how nervous you are. I was just joking.”
An Yuhong covered her red lips and smiled.
Wan Rong glanced at her and did not reply.
At the same time, he instantly became vigilant. It was not a good thing that his disciple was too powerful. If he was not careful, everything might be taken from him.
At the same time, Chen Yingying was surrounded by a group of students from the East Lake Martial Arts Academy.
With an endless supply of resources for her cultivation, she had already skipped the middle school stage and became a student at the East Lake Martial Arts Academy.
“Yingying, is that your brother?” a girl asked.
She had a tall figure, and was a full head taller than Chen Yingying. She was wearing red hot pants, revealing her long, fair legs.
In addition, she had a good appearance and a pure and innocent air, just like a white lotus.
“Yingying, when are you bringing your brother to the academy to give us some pointers?” another girl asked.
This girl was also extremely beautiful. She was young and had a perfect figure. She was already curvy in all the right places, and her charm was openly exposed.
“I’ll go back and discuss it with my brother, but I can’t guarantee that it will happen.”
Chen Yingying looked troubled.
Although she was still confused about some things, she could still understand some of them.
After all, an example was right in front of them. The dean of East Lake City’s martial arts school was waiting in the group of martial arts school heads. However, from his position in the order, it could be seen that he was not a very important person.
