#519 - Chapter 519 Quiet Rest
"Then, may I ask for your name, sir? I can relay it for you."
"Jing Qi," the strange man replied.
"Okay, Jing as in quiet?" the staff member asked while taking notes.
"Correct."
"Qi as in...? Qi as in expectation?"
"Qi as in dwelling."
"Okay, please wait a moment." The staff member put down the pen and picked up the phone to make a call.
"Hello? Captain. There's a Mr. Jing Qi at the North 3 entrance. He's here to see the City Lord."
"Okay, the information has been sent. Please check it."
"Okay."
The staff member hung up the phone and looked at the strange man, saying:
"Mr. Jing Qi, please rest there for a while. The information has been reported."
"Mm." He hummed softly but didn't seem to want to go to the waiting area.
The staff member didn't dare to provoke him rashly and had to let him be.
Fortunately, no one else was entering the city besides them.
Ten minutes later, the phone in front of the staff member rang.
"Hello, Captain. I see. Okay! Okay! I understand. Yes. Yes."
After speaking, he hung up the phone.
"Gentlemen, the City Lord has sent someone to pick you up. Please follow me." The staff member walked out of the reception window and gestured for them to come.
The strange men followed him inside.
In the underground base, public railcars were the primary mode of transportation.
Besides that, there were also the suspended commuter cars that only the Chamber of Commerce had.
At this moment, three extended commuter cars were already waiting inside the security gate.
Three fully armed soldiers stood on each side of the first and third cars. They wore the latest armor developed by Dongfang Chen and held laser guns. They looked both mighty and cold.
The door of the second car was open, and it was empty.
Clearly, the middle car was prepared for them.
"Gentlemen, please get in the car. Our staff will take you to see the City Lord." The staff member became even more respectful.
The fact that the City Lord had arranged such a grand reception meant that the other party's identity must be extraordinary.
The strange men got into the car without saying a word.
Forty minutes later, the three cars arrived at the administrative office area on the second underground level.
"Gentlemen, this way, please." After getting out of the car, the staff member led them to a room.
"Ling Luo greets Martial Uncle. Martial Uncle, why are you here?" Ling Luo said with a slight bow.
Jing Qi looked at him without saying anything.
"Martial Uncle, what's wrong?" Ling Luo said with an awkward smile.
"You still have the face to call me Martial Uncle?" Jing Qi said unhappily.
"Martial Uncle, look at what you're saying. You'll always be my Martial Uncle." Ling Luo pretended to be confused.
"This base is not bad, quite suitable for retirement," Jing Qi suddenly changed the subject.
He was expressing his dissatisfaction with Ling Luo abandoning his duties.
"Martial Uncle, it can't be blamed on me. The elders wanted to kill me without rhyme or reason. If I didn't escape, I would be dead," Ling Luo said with a frown.
"Whether you were wronged or not is another matter. You know the rules of the sect, those who betray the Holy Sect will be killed without mercy," Jing Qi said.
He stood with his hands behind his back, not looking like he was going to attack.
"Martial Uncle, you're not here to kill me today, are you?" Ling Luo asked pitifully.
"What if I am, and what if I'm not?" Jing Qi asked.
"If you are, please make it quick, Martial Uncle. I'm afraid of pain," Ling Luo didn't seem afraid.
"Hahaha!" Jing Qi let out a strange, hoarse laugh.
"Ling Luo, after so many years outside, you haven't changed at all."
"Martial Uncle, you're wrong. I have changed," Ling Luo shook his head.
"Oh?"
"Boom ~" Jing Qi suddenly glared at him, and his aura erupted. He didn't like being contradicted.
"Bang ~" Ling Luo was instantly blown away by this aura and crashed into the wall behind him.
"Pfft ~" A mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Ah!" Ling Luo clutched his chest, almost unable to catch his breath.
"I ask you, did you kill your master?" Jing Qi asked.
"Martial Uncle, if I said it wasn't me, would you believe me?" Ling Luo still pretended to be pitiful.
"Whether it is or isn't, I want evidence," Jing Qi said.
"Martial Uncle, I only met Master once. Where am I supposed to find evidence?" Ling Luo pretended to be depressed.
"Lies! Your master clearly came to Gold City with you. You can deceive others, but you can't deceive me!" Jing Qi said with a gloomy look.
"Yes, he came, but he left that very day!" Ling Luo replied.
"Where did he go?" Jing Qi asked.
"He said he was worried about Ling Yue and went back to the Elder Hall," Ling Luo replied.
"Do you have proof?" Jing Qi asked.
"Ling Yue destroyed my laboratory. Where am I supposed to find evidence?" Ling Luo deflected the responsibility.
"Is that so? Why did Ling Yue destroy your laboratory?"
"At the time, he brought countless robots, and after I was injured, I ran to Ling Wu for refuge. Ling Wu told me that those robots were all made in Hua Country. Only then did I realize that Ling Yue had defected to Hua Country," Ling Luo explained.
