54: Chapter 54 Hello, Miss Pei!

"Young Miss Pei."

Wu Ming stood in front of Pei Ruan Ruan and bowed slightly, speaking with great respect.

Pei Ruan Ruan looked at Wu Ming, who was bowing, and could only feel speechless, utterly speechless.

This person really came over to greet her.

"Fine... okay." Pei Ruan Ruan frowned, handing over a fruit platter prepared by the two brothers beside her. "Since you're here, take a fruit platter."

"Thank you, Young Miss Pei. I'll get back to work then." Wu Ming bowed again before taking the fruit platter and slowly retreating.

After Wu Ming was far enough away, Pei Ruan Ruan remembered something else.

"I forgot to ask why he came. Oh well, I'll know when I look later."

"Ruan Ruan, do you want to prepare some more water?" Wang Kaixin also secretly breathed a sigh of relief after Wu Ming left.

Never mind that Wu Ming was respectful to Pei Ruan Ruan; he was still a powerful Captain from the Special Affairs Bureau Headquarters in the Imperial Capital.

"No need. When the fruit is delivered later, I'll let Jiang Qin and the others distribute it themselves," Pei Ruan Ruan said, yet she kept looking in Wu Ming's direction.

Although she hadn't asked directly, Pei Ruan Ruan had some guesses.

This visit was probably aimed directly at Jiang Qin.

Thinking of this, Pei Ruan Ruan actually found it a bit amusing.

If those guys started competing over Jiang Qin, it would be quite a show.

Pei Ruan Ruan didn't wait long. The first wave of morning training concluded, and it was time for a break.

With the break whistle, the military training group immediately collapsed in exhaustion.

But they could only stay put; free movement was not allowed.

Pei Ruan Ruan, Wang Kaixin, and Zhang Tianci took this opportunity to walk over and deliver a round of fruit to the girls from their Animation Department.

This naturally drew a wave of praise from the girls.

Of course, the students from the Visual Communication Department were not isolated; they also received fruit, although comparatively, there wasn't quite enough to go around.

"Sister Ruan Ruan, you're here."

Jiang Qin looked genuinely surprised and delighted to see Pei Ruan Ruan.

"Thank you, Counselor!" The girls also said in unison.

"You're welcome, you're welcome. Train well; there's still training this afternoon." Pei Ruan Ruan held up the empty fruit platter, looking like a general commanding troops.

"Thank you, Counselor! Counselor is so kind!" The girls became even more excited.

"Hehehehehehe!" Looking at the smiling faces of these girls, Pei Ruan Ruan actually felt quite happy. Youth, such youth.

She had originally just intended to watch Jiang Qin's military training.

Just then, Little Li ran over again.

"Fang Jiangqin, Tang Xiaotang, step out!"

Hearing this voice, although Jiang Qin was a little surprised, she stood up along with Tang Xiaotang.

"Yes, Instructor!"

After responding, the two walked over to Little Li's side.

"What's up, Little Li?" Tang Xiaotang asked softly as soon as she arrived.

"I don't know. The Bureau Chief said he needs to take the Captains and you all over there," Little Li only knew it was an order; he didn't know anything else.

At this time, Jiang Qin did not forget to greet Pei Ruan Ruan.

"Senior Ruan Ruan, we have something to attend to. We'll be back later."

"Go on, go on." Pei Ruan Ruan was not surprised by this; it must have been Wu Ming's doing.

Immediately, she gave Zhang Tianci and Wang Kaixin a meaningful look.

The two understood instantly, quickly finding an excuse along with Pei Ruan Ruan to leave the junior female students who were sunburnt dark.

Not long after, the three followed Jiang Qin and the others to a small grove not far away.

This grove was usually where people gathered for early morning reading sessions.

Generally, at this time, there would be no one here.

But now, someone was already waiting there.

As Jiang Qin entered, she saw Wei Heng standing at the very front.

"Hello, Bureau Chief."

The group greeted Wei Heng in unison.

"Alright, this isn't the Bureau, so there's no need to be so formal. Little Li, you can go back now."

Wei Heng said, waving his hand at Little Li.

"Yes, Bureau Chief." Little Li replied and turned to leave.

Looking at the two remaining people, Wei Heng introduced them: "Jiang Qin, Xiao Tang. Let me introduce you; these gentlemen are all from the Imperial Capital. This is Captain Wu Ming from the Imperial Capital. The others are also elites from the Imperial Capital. You can get to know each other; I won't introduce everyone individually."

"Captain Wu."*2

Jiang Qin and Tang Xiaotang called out to Wu Ming again.

"Hmm, not bad. You two are the rising stars of Dongcheng City, right?" Wu Ming looked at the two and said, "Your evaluations online are exceptionally high."

"We dare not accept such praise, we dare not," Tang Xiaotang immediately said to Wu Ming. "It's all thanks to Captain Lu leading us; we just helped out a little."

"Mm-hmm." Jiang Qin didn't quite understand but still responded.

"Not bad." Wu Ming neither confirmed nor denied this. Instead, he turned to Wei Heng and said, "Since Wei Heng says so, let the young people get acquainted. We won't interfere. Right, Wei Heng?"

"Yes, we are all old folks now. The future must be placed on these young people. Shall we leave now, leaving the space for the youngsters?"

"Wei Heng is right. Let's go then."

"Captain Wu, please."

"Wei Heng, please."

As they spoke, the two casually gave a few instructions to the young people before leaving together.

Now, only Jiang Qin and Tang Xiaotang remained, along with the group of seven from the Imperial Capital.

For Jiang Qin and Tang Xiaotang, the person who drew their attention the most was the one covered head-to-toe in heavy iron chains.

Although Wei Heng had already mentioned their names, the two still reintroduced themselves.

"Fang Jiangqin"

"Tang Xiaotang"

After the two reported their names, the people opposite also gave simple self-introductions.

The person covered entirely in heavy iron chains only introduced himself very arrogantly after everyone else was done.

"My name is Overlord. You can just call me Captain Overlord."

"Is your name really Overlord?" Tang Xiaotang couldn't believe that sounded like a proper name.

Look at her name, Tang Xiaotang, how pleasant it sounds.

Overlord sounded like a name someone with chuunibyou who read a few Tomato novels would give themselves.

Tang Xiaotang felt that this person's priority should be deleting Tomato novels.

"That is my title," Overlord snorted. "You only need to know that my name is Overlord."

"Understood." Jiang Qin accepted this quite quickly.

After all, she had someone even more outrageous at home.

Fang Xun had wanted her to call him the Great Love Immortal Venerable for a while.

Unfortunately, the Great Love Immortal Venerable died before his aspirations were realized; he became honest after Jiang Qin kicked him twice.

"Now, I permit you to challenge me."

Overlord looked at Jiang Qin, showing an expression that suggested she was quite good and somewhat sensible.

"Come, let me see how much substance you two have, seeing as you're so hyped up online."

"Right now?" Jiang Qin was a bit surprised.

It seemed inconvenient here, didn't it?

"Right now." Overlord shook his body, and the iron chains on him clanged loudly.

"Psionic Power: Bloom..."

Boom — — — — — —
