"Elder Mo… Thank you, Elder Mo!"
Chen Baisheng cupped his hands gratefully. He knew that Elder Mo was reminding him.
However, he was also bitter. This matter was indeed a problem with his deployment.
It could not be said to be an unexpected calamity. It could only be said that the demon beasts were too cunning, and he was too stupid to be deceived.
At this moment, not only did he have to bear the responsibility of the unfavorable deployment, but he also had to worry about Feng Ling's attitude.
He could only hope that Feng Ling would not blame him too much. Otherwise, even if Minister Duan did not personally take action, there would still be countless people coming to show off.
The Chen family would not have an easy time from now.
"Let's see what Master Feng thinks first." Elder Mo shook his head and took another sip from the thermos. "Here it comes."
Bang! Bang!
There was a knock on the door and Liu Zhongyi's voice. "Chief, Master Feng is here."
"Please come in." Li Mingtian, who had been silent all this time, finally caught his breath.
Feng Ling pushed the door open and entered. Chen Baisheng wanted to step forward to welcome him, but he only leaned forward and stood rooted to the ground.
Li Mingtian reacted quickly. Seeing that Chen Baisheng did not step forward, he immediately stepped forward and took the initiative to speak. "Master Feng, I've long heard of your great name. We finally meet today. I'm the director of the Peaceful Spirit Bureau in Mu Liang City, Li Mingtian."
"Hello, Director Li." Feng Ling had also sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the room. He waited quietly.
"Elder Mo, you…" Li Mingtian looked at Elder Mo.
Elder Mo laughed. "What a master forger, what a playboy!"
He introduced himself. "I'm Mo Sang, sent by your Uncle Duan."
Feng Ling cupped his fists seriously. "Hello, Elder Mo."
The old man in front of him made him feel a pressure.
Its strength was unfathomable!
"We'll talk about our matters later. The Peaceful Spirit Bureau wants to give you an explanation for what happened last night." Elder Mo looked at Li Mingtian.
Li Mingtian felt uncomfortable under her gaze. He could only brace himself and look at Chen Baisheng.
As the chief, he had always been in charge of fighting. He was indeed a little weak when it came to the other years.
Chen Baisheng took a deep breath and took a step forward. He bowed deeply. "Master Feng! The command last night is mine. I made all the deployments and decisions alone. It has nothing to do with the others."
His posture was subdued.
The meaning of Elder Mo's words was clear: Feng Ling was a talent, and a very extraordinary talent. Someone above had already noticed him.
At the same time, he was Minister Duan's nephew.
You, Chen Baisheng, made a mistake in your decision. The higher-ups will deal with you. Minister Duan is not from the Peaceful Spirit Bureau, so he won't interfere and cause trouble for you.
But as Feng Ling's uncle, he had to ask for an explanation.
Chen Baisheng understood that putting aside the punishment the bureau had given him, the most important thing now was Feng Ling's attitude.
Putting himself in his shoes, if he were in his shoes, he would also be furious after fighting for nearly two hours without any support.
However, he could not let go and do whatever he wanted.
He himself could not have done such a thing. More important, he was not alone.
The Chen family had a foundation in the capital.
However, this foundation seemed too weak in the eyes of someone at Minister Duan's level.
"Deputy Director Chen, maybe I'm not as angry as you think."
As soon as Feng Ling spoke, the expressions of the three people present changed.
"I'm not in a position to judge how capable you are. I can also hear the shocking sound of the cannons and know that there are many other places where the situation is critical."
"Moreover, it was very difficult to provide support in the situation last night. Ordinary people would only be sending themselves to death…"
"I understand that. Otherwise, we wouldn't have let the outer troops withdraw from the garrison."
"Personally, I'm not related to you. I only have a working relationship with the Peaceful Spirit Bureau, so in my opinion, I have no right to ask you to save me first…"
"I don't think any of you would abandon other places and transfer combat power for me."
"But I'm not a saint. Let's get someone else in charge of the future cooperation with the Peaceful Spirit Bureau." Feng Ling looked at Li. "Director Li, what do you think?"
Li Mingtian was stunned. There was a smile in Elder Mo's eyes.
"Director Li, are you dissatisfied with Master Feng's suggestion?" Elder Mo raised his eyebrows and asked when he saw that Li Mingtian did not respond.
"Yes, yes!" Li Mingtian finally came back to his senses and said quickly.
All he felt was surprise, and a big one at that.
What Feng Ling meant was… they could continue to work together?
Chen Baisheng finally heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he could not help but feel even more admiration and gratitude towards Feng Ling.
Feng Ling's way of handling things exceeded his expectations.
"Master Feng, since you're done with the matters at the Peaceful Spirit Bureau, are you interested in chatting with me?" Mo Sang asked with a smile.
"Elder Mo, just call me Feng Ling," Feng Ling replied with a smile.
"Shall we go out for a walk?" Elder Mo suggested.
"Of course."
Watching the two of them leave, Li Mingtian and Chen Baisheng, the two most powerful people in Mu Liang City, looked at each other and could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
Even though they were walking, it was impossible for the two of them to really stroll around the underground base.
The two of them arrived at Elder Mo's temporary residence. Elder Mo chuckled and said, "I'm surprised you chose to handle it this way. Can you tell me why?"
"Do you want to ask this question, or does Minister Duan want to ask it?"
Elder Mo laughed. "At least I'm really curious."
"I read your information when I came. To be honest, if you didn't have Minister Duan behind you, you would definitely attract the attention of many people. You might not have realized your value yet, Master Forger. Your status is far beyond your imagination."
"And you have such strength at such a young age, but you're not impulsive or impulsive… Some people will say you're mature, but aren't you afraid of giving the impression that you're weak and easily bullied?"
Elder Mo's words were tactful, but Feng Ling could understand what he meant.
Feng Ling shrugged. "I don't know if you've heard of it, but there's a very popular term on the Internet. It's called 'Holy Mother.' It actually sums up what you're saying. Of course, I didn't say that you were insulting me."
"To be honest, I really didn't realize that I had become a 'big shot'. Be it a Master Forger or a ranked expert, this is just the title you added to me. The only change I made was my definition of myself."
"Originally, I only wanted to improve my forging skills and reach the realm that my master had been pursuing all his life. But just a few days ago, I gave myself a premise: to survive in this mutated world first."
"There were thousands of demon beasts surrounding the two of us last night… Ever since Master left, the emotion of 'fear' disappeared from my mind, so I only have anger."
"It's not that I'm angry that the Peaceful Spirit Bureau doesn't have support. It's that I'm angry at this group of animals that appeared out of nowhere. Their appearance didn't make me realize the value of being a Forger. It just shattered my originally peaceful life."
"Elder Mo, us commoners don't really want to be heroes. On the contrary, our ultimate pursuit is to have a stable life."
