Chapter 58: Half a Step into the Grandmaster Realm? Ye Bai Wants to Run Away

The Jiangcheng Dragon Guard is located in the central district of Jiangcheng, situated in a building only one floor lower than the Martial Artist Association.

At this moment, on the top floor of the building, inside an office.

"Cough, cough."

Liu Qingtian suddenly coughed violently a few times, then looked at the youth holding a teacup and drinking tea in front of him, his expression strange:

"Little friend Ye Bai, you've become famous, do you know that?"

"Haven't I been famous for a long time?" Ye Bai looked up.

"Hmm? My killing of Ning Feng, the fact that I killed that old dog, has it been exposed?"

Realizing something was wrong, Ye Bai guessed the truth.

"Grandpa Liu, if that's the case, it seems the Ning Family can't do anything to me, and I don't need to go to that place, right?"

Then he raised an eyebrow.

Where was there any sign of a prisoner, or someone who might be judged at any moment?

Time returns to the moment Ye Bai was just taken away by the Dragon Guard members!

Ye Bai was surrounded by several Dragon Guard members and put into a Dragon Guard vehicle.

That young man sat right beside Ye Bai, a cold sneer on his face:

"Ye Bai, I think you should be clear about what you should say once we arrive at the Dragon Guard!"

"It doesn't matter if you aren't clear; I'll make you clear now."

"Confess your crimes obediently, and only you will have to die; if you don't listen obediently..."

Ye Bai's eyes, however, no longer held the gloom from just before, and he said: "Many thanks."

"Hmm?" The young man's eyes narrowed.

"It's come to this, so we shouldn't need to act anymore, right? I know you are here to save me."

"You aren't a Middle Three Grades either; everything you did was just to make that person think you are all on the same side."

Ye Bai smiled.

He had indeed discovered long ago that there was someone else in the shadows.

The support of the Explosive Blood Combat Method and the Burning Blood Secret Art was comprehensive; his sensory ability was not something an ordinary Third Grade could compare to!

Even so, the threat that person in the shadows posed to Ye Bai was even greater than that of Lao Weng!

The Ning Family truly wanted to put Ye Bai to death!

Because of this, Ye Bai had forcibly dragged the battle out until 【Reset】 was about to become usable!

You must know, he could have killed with the handle of his spear, yet he had abandoned the spear early on.

It was because he already knew the prerequisites for advancing from Third Grade to Fourth Grade!

Therefore, he repeatedly attacked the same spot on Lao Weng's chest.

He had long since achieved the key to defeating a Fourth Grade while being of a lower grade!

And the young man and the others only arrived after Xi Mengyue and Li Qingqing appeared...

"Interesting!"

"No wonder the old man was so heartless; even though he knew this mission had life-threatening risks, he still let me come..."

The words the young man said next also admitted that he had indeed come to save Ye Bai!

Of course, when Ye Bai arrived at the top floor of the Dragon Guard and saw the old man the youth had spoken of in the office.

Ye Bai was still shocked for a moment.

Liu Qingtian!

The old man who, upon their first meeting, claimed to be a department head of a small division of the Dragon Guard.

The old man who, upon their second meeting, said he was old and had gone to the Martial Artist Association to take an idle position!

"Little friend Ye Bai, we meet again."

"Let me introduce myself: Liu Qingtian, Association President of the Martial Artist Association, and also the Director of the Jiangcheng Dragon Guard."

Liu Qingtian knew he couldn't keep up the act, and there was no need to act anymore.

Only then did Ye Bai realize that this kind and amiable old man was actually one of the two Guardian Deities of Jiangcheng!

A Fifth Grade Peak powerhouse on par with the City Lord of Jiangcheng!

An heaven-defying existence said to be only half a step away from the Grandmaster Realm!

The subsequent matters were simple and clear.

"Little friend Ye Bai, you were indeed impulsive this time."

"Ning Feng is the treasure of the Ning Family, the predetermined next heir to the family head position."

"Although many clan elders on the Ning Family side do not support Ning Feng, and even as of two days ago some clan elders began supporting Ning Yuan, just like this time, the Ning Family will not allow you, who killed their heir, to live."

"And don't think that I can protect you forever."

"The Dragon Guard is not the Military Department; we don't have that many Middle Three Grades, and this time, even without any Ning Family clan elder making a move, not a single Middle Three Grades in the Dragon Guard could spare the time to save you."

"The Ning Family just didn't expect you to be able to defeat a Fourth Grade while being of a lower grade, so only one other guardian was sent."

"If there is a next time, my good-for-nothing grandson might not dare to go save you again~"

Liu Qingtian stated bluntly that he could protect Ye Bai for a while, but not for a lifetime.

Although after something happened to Ye Bai, he would definitely make the murderer pay the price.

But it would be limited to the murderer!

"However, little friend Ye Bai, you are very much to my liking, and I cannot just watch a genius of my Jiangcheng meet with misfortune."

"Jiangcheng's Genius Intensive Training Camp for this year is about to start; are you interested?"

"As long as you can join the Genius Intensive Training Camp, not only will the Ning Family never dare to touch you again, but you can also attend a Martial University normally, just like other students."

Then, Liu Qingtian gave Ye Bai a suggestion with a smile.

The Genius Intensive Training Camp, referred to as the Genius Camp.

It is a training class that gathers the most elite students of this generation, with the list drawn up by the Dragon Guard and the Military Department responsible for the entire training process!

In other words, any member of the Genius Camp is equivalent to having the backing of both the Dragon Guard and the Military Department during this period!

The Ning Family dare not, and cannot, make a move!

Qin Ayi will also be absolutely safe during this period!

Sweeping away harm requires a list, while counter-terrorism only requires a coordinate...

However, after Ye Bai asked a few questions, he became conflicted.

"Old Liu, Ning Feng, is he really dead?"

First was the matter of whether Ning Feng was dead or alive.

He actually leaned toward the idea that Ning Feng was not dead, because he had killed Ning Feng once before.

So, after piercing Ning Feng's heart with one shot, he had been scanning his surroundings.

"He is dead."

"This old man knows what you want to ask; Ning Feng did indeed have a treasure for substituting death, but that was exchanged from the Martial Artist Association, and the Ning Family had one and only one."

"This old man also does not know when he used it, but I can be certain that this time, he is dead beyond any doubt."

Liu Qingtian's smile was meaningful.

"Old Liu, if I join the Genius Camp, besides not being retaliated against and being able to attend Martial University normally, what other benefits are there?" Ye Bai asked again.

"Martial Techniques, Pills, and various methods to rapidly increase strength."

Liu Qingtian told him truthfully.

However, he also clearly stated...

It is limited to use within the Genius Camp!

Taking them outside is prohibited!

"If I join the Genius Camp, it seems like I'm just wasting time..."

After hearing this, such a thought popped into Ye Bai's head.

His strength was increased crazily all the way by exploiting bugs!

He does not need any cultivation resources other than Martial Techniques, and even less does he need methods to rapidly increase his strength!

Therefore, he had never thought about attending Martial University either!

Curing Qin Churan, and then letting Qin Churan live a good life, were his only two hopes.

With this time spent going to the Genius Camp, and subsequently attending Martial University.

He might as well stay in Jiangcheng, going out to the Wilderness to hunt whenever he had nothing to do!

Earning money to improve Qin Churan's life, and using the extra money to buy Martial Techniques for himself—life would be sweet...

Yet, the threat from the Ning Family was indeed a problem.

He also did not expect that even after the Life and Death Agreement was signed, besides the old man who went berserk at the time, there would be so much trouble afterward!

Although if it happened again, he would still stab Ning Feng to death with one shot...

Liu Qingtian also saw Ye Bai's hesitation, so he let Ye Bai drink a cup of tea and not rush to decide.

And then, there was the matter of the Dragon Guard account being compromised, which Liu Qingtian found out about...

The good news: the students of this generation are very motivated, and they are very smart.

The bad news: the reputation of the Dragon Guard seems to be about to stink!

The critical part is that Ye Bai, who was finally about to be lured in, is showing signs of running away!
