Chapter 235 - A Gentleman is Open and Poised
“Ling-san…” the sweet Fusang girl delivered the steaming hot Tonkotsu ramen to Ling Pingan. “Here’s your ramen!”
“Thank you!” Ling Pingan opened the takeaway box and looked at the large pieces of pork inside. He immediately started to dig in with his chopstick.
He immediately began to eat impatiently.
As he ate, he asked, “Chiba-chan… How’s your aunt and cousin’s application?”
The girl from Fusang immediately smiled and replied, “Thanks to you, Ling-san, my aunt and cousin’s application went very smoothly!”
“The immigration department called this morning and said that they passed the review!”
“Oh…” Ling Pingan nodded.
“Oh right, my cousin has also successfully applied to be an overseas student at the University of Jiangcheng!” Chiba Michiko said, “They will come by plane in a few days…”
“Maybe in the future, my cousin will also deliver meals on my behalf!” The girl smiled brightly when she thought of this!
Fusang’s fox girl was filled with gratitude at this moment.
She bowed deeply to Ling Pingan. “All of this is because of your guidance, Ling-san!”
“I thank you on behalf of my aunt and cousin!”
“You’re welcome, you’re welcome!” Ling Pingan mumbled as he ate his ramen. “By the way… What major did your cousin apply for?”
“Humanities and arts…” Chiba Michiko lowered her head in embarrassment.
That was the easiest and easiest course to apply.
She had no choice. Her cousin’s grades were very bad, so she could only apply for this major.
Ling Pingan had already expected this.
He nodded. “Study hard them… Once she gets her graduation certificate, she can apply for a work visa… this is also very easy…”
Citizens of Fusang, Silla, Lanfang, Cochi, and other countries could easily apply for work visas in the Federal Empire. Basically, they would be able to pass as long as they didn’t have any problems.
After all, they were the people of the world…
“Yes!” Chiba Michiko nodded her head seriously.
… … … ..
Li Anan sat in the car and watched as the ghouls were sent to the specially customized prison van.
She let out a soft sigh. She had finally completed this mission without any mishaps.
Beside her, Chu Weiwei’s eyes were filled with admiration.
“Captain, you’re so amazing!” That was the tenth time the first lieutenant had praised her.
Li Anan smiled as she tied up her silver hair and put on a tight hat. “No… I’m not…”
However, in her heart, she was extremely happy!
That operation had finally let Li Anan know her strength!
Although this didn’t seem to be anything amazing…
She couldn’t show it in front of her nephew…
Thinking of this, the major sighed lightly.
The Blackguard had rules and regulations that forbade them from showing off their abilities to others.
Especially for showing off purpose!
That was because the Blackguard’s duty was to protect the people, not to act arrogantly in front of them!
“Right…” Li Anan asked, “Where will these ghouls be sent?”
Chu Weiwei smiled and replied, “The Ryukyu Kingdom, of course!”
The Ryukyu Kingdom was the anchorage of the second fleet of the Pacific Fleet of the Federal Empire.
One of the strongest fortresses of the Blackguard, the Ryukyu Special Fortress was located there.
Many stubborn monsters and demons were imprisoned and locked up there.
At the same time, there were a large number of advanced instruments and equipment there. Perhaps the reason for the emergence of these ghouls could be analyzed!
… … … … ..
Putting down the phone, Zhang Hui stood at the window.
“Using her will to interfere with others…” he took a deep breath. To use her will to interfere with others and influence others was an ability that only generals possessed!
“It seems that Major Li is not only well-established and well-accumulated…”
“Her immediate combat strength is also very terrifying!”
Even when she was just a major, she could use her will to interfere with reality?
What about if she was in the general level?
Wouldn’t it mean that she could kill the enemy from thousands of miles away with a single thought?
However, thinking about it carefully, that seemed to be a normal thing.
After all, Major Li wasn’t an ordinary person!
“I have to speed up my cultivation too!” Zhang Hui walked into a quiet room.
He had been cultivating the Book of Reason recently.
That allowed his body to slowly recover, and his old illness also began to disappear.
But that was far from enough!
He had to be even stronger!
After all, he was someone whose soul had been mortgaged to that bookstore.
He had to be as strong as possible when he was alive, and only after he died could he have a chance to speak with that person by his side.
Otherwise, with the number of talents around that person.
If he was too weak, he might not even be able to speak out!
Not to mention speaking for the Federal Empire!
… … … … ..
Li Shouyi opened his eyes and felt the boiling psionic energy in his body.
The psionic energy was slowly turning from gas to liquid.
When he turned all the psionic energy into liquid and condensed it into a psionic energy core, he could step into the boundary between humans and God.
Just as the Ancients said: Once a golden core is swallowed into the stomach, my fate will be in my hands, not the heavens!
And that was a realm that he would never be able to step into!
Because his accumulation was insufficient, his foundation was insufficient!
But now…
His progress speed was extremely fast!
It could even be described as exceeding imagination!
“At most, by the end of the year, I will be able to break through!” In his eyes, the Yin and Yang fish was spinning.
That meant that he was in the realm of a half immortal God!
He was only one step away from becoming a true immortal God!
The door had already been pushed open, but what was behind it? It was still a blur.
However, Li Shouyi could still vaguely feel the grandeur and magic of that world!
… … … … … ..
In the depths of Weiyang Palace.
Liu Zhi raised his head to look at the vast starry sky.
Confusion flashed in the Xinghan Emperor’s eyes.
Because he could already feel the Immortal Qin Empire’s ruins resonating.
“Someone’s coming back…”
He said.
But it wasn’t the ancestral dragon!
Because if the ancestral dragon returned, the entire world would shake.
That was the incomparably powerful Golden Dragon God!
An existence that even the four gods of Chaos were afraid of!
So…
“Who is returning?” He thought.
Ever since the ancestral dragon disappeared from the Immortal Qin Empire, a large number of bronze legions and terracotta army legions stepped onto the vast star path to search for their king.
That was why the followers of Tzeentch took the opportunity to destroy that great empire.
It was also why the Black Dragon Emperor rose and the Kingdom of Xinghan was established.
However, if the bronze legions that had once left returned and they saw that the Immortal Qin empire had been destroyed, would they be able to accept it?
If they couldn’t accept it?
What should they do?
Would it cause a civil war?
Liu Zhi didn’t know.
But he understood that he had to be prepared!
After all, he was the emperor of Xinghan! The current Black Dragon Emperor!
Furthermore, the return of the bronze legions this time was a crisis and an opportunity!
As long as they could subdue them and make them pledge their loyalty, then…
Thinking of that, the young Black Dragon Emperor stood up.
In the darkness, the terracotta figures stood up one after another.
Now, the Xinghan Emperor already had 1,500 terracotta figures!
… … … … ..
In the eastern part of the Demon Rat Empire.
The berserk green skin submerged the territories of every clan here.
The rats were retreating in defeat!
In just one day, they had lost over 10,000 men!
There was nothing they could do!
Compared to the green skin, the rats were like a pile of loose sand!
Facing the green skin army that was getting more and more, the thirteen-man council had almost given up on the east. They chose to send their main force to the place where the rat-man first rose, the Ruined City!
There, they would hold a grand ceremony to summon the great horned rat to resist the crisis.
Because…
If the Horned Rat was not summoned, it would be too late to unite all the clans with the will of God.
With internal and external problems, the demon rat empire would probably be destroyed!
The failure of the rats was a carnival for the green skins!
In just one day, they had found thousands of dimension stones from the territory and city of the demon rat empire.
It was almost enough to hold a sacrificial ceremony!
But the warlord Gangba felt that it was not enough!
It ordered all the green skin kids to dig into the ground!
Dig out every single piece of dimensional stones that the rat bean sprouts had hidden!
Because this was the oracle of the Great Brother What and Brother Hell!
It was more about the honor and favor of the Gangba tribe!
Therefore, after taking down the east, the green skin stopped their attacks.
They began to dig into the territory of the demon rats, like whac-a-mole, digging holes everywhere, looking for the dimensional stone.
Even if it was just scraps!
Their actions immediately made wizard Slane nervous.
Because the dimensional stone was a product of Chaos!
And the god that the green skin believed in was also one of the gods of chaos.
Could they be plotting something?
Could they also be thinking of destroying the world?
… … … ..
With his legs crossed, Ling Pingan watched the news on TV.
The evening news was a little interesting.
“The spokesperson of the Federal Empire’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said at the press conference this afternoon that the federal empire has always opposed any interference in the internal affairs of other countries!”
“In response to the remarks made by some countries in the Land of Qin that they would send troops to interfere in the internal affairs of Lossia, the spokesman said that any interference by external forces is not desirable!”
“Our country has always advocated the equality of all countries regardless of their size!”
“Our people and Cabinet strongly oppose any illegal act that violates the territorial integrity and sovereignty of other countries!”
“The spokesperson emphasizes that the current era is an era of peace and development!”
“All countries should seriously think about how to build themselves and allow their people to live a better life!”
..
Ling Pingan’s lips curled up slightly as he listened.
“The diplomatic language of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs hasn’t changed…” he smiled.
Every citizen of the federal could understand the meaning behind this news which was not to interfere in Lossia’s internal affairs!
Speaking of which, ever since the Nanzhou Liberation War 200 years ago, the federal empire began to hold high the banner of Emperor Taizu and announced the implementation of the foreign policy of ‘all countries are equal regardless of size, and will not interfere in each other’s internal affairs, which has continued to this day, it had become one of the basic national policies.
This basic national policy had satisfied the moral sense of the people of the federal.
After all, since ancient times, the federal empire had been a country that was founded on benevolence, righteousness, and etiquette.
The people of the Federal had no interest in invasion and expansion.
At the same time, they strongly opposed other countries’ invasion, expansion, and bullying the weak!
The imperial army had once upheld justice many times, helping small countries maintain their territorial integrity and national dignity!
Moreover, after helping them, they would immediately withdraw their troops and never stop there!
It was precise because of this that every citizen of the federal was deeply proud of it!
They all felt that they were the people of the country of gentlemen!
Of course, there were occasional noises and conspiracy theories.
However, these voices were like flies that were directly ignored by others.
Turning off the television, some conspiracy theories suddenly appeared in Ling Pingan’s mind.
He smiled and shook his head. “Of course, everyone is a selfish person in a petty man’s eyes…”
“But a gentleman is different…”
“This is the so-called a gentleman is open and poised; a petty man is unhappy and worried.!”
“What’s more…”
“Mencius said, ‘Since they borrowed them for a long time and did not return them, how could one know that they didn’t own them?’”
“Even if the cabinet has some bad intentions, to be able to execute it like this for hundreds of years, even a hypocrite is still a true gentleman!”
He raised his head and saw the clock hanging on the wall.
It was already 10:30 pm!
He turned his head and looked outside the door. At some unknown time, a thick fog had appeared in the streets.
That made him begin to look forward to it.
He had earned 300 yuan last night!
Would there be any business coming to his door today?
“There should be…” the young bookstore owner became nervous.
If he could have a business every day, then…
Why would he worry that the bookstore would not revive and his wallet would be empty?
Therefore, he planned to wait until midnight tonight before going to bed.
What if he could sell something? Right!
