Chapter 21 Leaving

The convoy passed through the suburbs, along the avenue, and stopped in front of a hotel.

"Sir, we will keep this knife for you and have it shipped to Da Xuan later."

Before getting out of the car, the driver stopped An Qisheng.

Xin Guo prohibits all lethal weapons. Even slingshots are contraband, and long knives cannot appear in public places.

"Okay."

An Qisheng nodded, leaving all his weapons behind. Luo Neng reluctantly handed over his gun as well.

"Is this how things end?"

After getting out of the car and watching the departing convoy, An Qisheng felt a little unaccustomed.

"A strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake, let alone the Gong family, which can be said to be a local dragon. Now that the Gong family has taken action, a Bamboo Dragon branch is naturally easy to capture."

Luo Neng was not surprised:

"What's more, Dr. Wang and the others have probably been planning this for a long time. Otherwise, did you think we were really here to die?"

"That's true."

An Qisheng nodded. This was indeed very much in the style of Da Xuan.

If every action resulted in heavy casualties, that would be abnormal.

After all, this was a great power, one of the two poles of the world, that could send warships across the ocean to pick up a few compatriots.

Wang Zhixuan, who clearly had an official background, could mobilize forces beyond imagination.

Even if the Gong family didn't take action, other forces would intervene.

For example, the legendary military experts.

"It's just that the Gong family's involvement, no matter how clean, means that the Bamboo Dragon Society members died in Xin City, and they will inevitably be resented by the Bamboo Dragon Society."

Luo Neng glanced at the convoy that had long disappeared:

"What kind of conditions did Dr. Wang promise them to risk offending the Bamboo Dragon Society?"

"If I'm not mistaken, we will be returning home tomorrow."

Luo Neng said, looking at An Qisheng, hesitating to speak.

"Luo-xiong has something to say?" (brother)

An Qisheng's heart stirred.

Luo Neng looked around, approached An Qisheng, and whispered:

"Brother, listen to my advice, don't associate too closely with Dr. Wang in the future."

"Hmm?"

An Qisheng frowned slightly. Luo Neng had already coughed a few times and walked towards the hotel.

Although Luo Neng only said one sentence, jealousy, rich second-generation pursuers, fiancés, childhood sweethearts from official families, shields, and everything else flashed through An Qisheng's mind.

"Women, are indeed trouble makers."

An Qisheng shook his head inwardly.

Fortunately, he didn't have any thoughts about Wang Zhixuan, so he didn't feel any emotional impact.

After sighing, he walked into the hotel.

However, Luo Neng's words reminded him that what he needed to do most now was to achieve Baodan as soon as possible. Nothing else had higher priority.

The improvement in his health did not mean that his terminal illness was cured.

........

Xin City Central Hospital, advanced intensive care unit.

"Has the list of casualties been submitted?"

Jiang Shili lay on the hospital bed, receiving an IV drip.

Wang Zhixuan sat by the bed peeling an apple, and nodded upon hearing this:

"It has been submitted, you don't need to worry about the follow-up."

"The power of the Gong family is indeed not to be underestimated."

Jiang Shili's complexion had returned to rosy, but her lips were still a little pale:

"The Bamboo Dragon Society sent a lot of people this time. Although there were no Baodan experts, we would have been in great danger if the Gong family hadn't taken action."

"Even without the Gong family, there would be others."

Wang Zhixuan's expression was calm as she twirled the small knife in her fingers, peeling off a long strip of apple skin:

"None of the three Baodan experts from the Bamboo Dragon Society showed up, which is a little disappointing."

"You're really crazy."

Jiang Shili rolled her eyes:

"You're always taking risks. One day you're going to suffer a big loss."

"Gu Changsheng has achieved Baodan."

Wang Zhixuan placed the peeled apple on a plate, and her expression changed:

"As soon as he achieved Baodan, he accepted Mu Longcheng's challenge and set a three-year agreement. He is pushing himself to the limit. I am already one step behind."

"Gu Changsheng..."

Jiang Shili's eyes flickered, and she smiled bitterly:

"I know you've always been one step ahead of him since you were young, and you're not happy about him achieving Baodan before you, but kung fu is not something you can achieve by risking your life."

"It's not about being unhappy, nor about being competitive."

Wang Zhixuan shook her head:

"Mu Longcheng has been at the top of the world for thirty years. The path of boxing has already reached its peak. Fighting him may be the only opportunity to glimpse the future of boxing."

Speaking of this, Wang Zhixuan stared at Jiang Shili, her eyes flashing with sharpness:

"I have long abandoned the thought of life and death, and I don't care about winning or losing. Only martial arts is my sole pursuit.

I can't let this opportunity pass!"

Jiang Shili felt a headache. She could never win against Wang Zhixuan when it came to this topic, so she could only change the subject:

"What do you think of that black-clothed man who suddenly appeared, suspected of being an alien creature?"

"The sea is vast, and finding someone is not easier than finding a needle in a haystack."

Wang Zhixuan stood up and opened the curtains. The rising sun swept away the fog covering the city, and she said lightly:

"If he is really as powerful as the Golden Eagle Country says, he will show up sooner or later. Moreover... does that 'person' really exist?"

The more skilled a boxer is, the more he can feel the limit that is invisible, intangible, but real.

Can a mortal body really achieve that level?

"You've already hacked into the satellite to look at it, and you still don't believe it?"

Jiang Shili gently turned over, picked up the apple with her free hand, and took a bite:

"You suspect that the Golden Eagle Country faked the video in the satellite?"

Wang Zhixuan nodded:

"I don't believe anything that I haven't seen with my own eyes."

Jiang Shili didn't speak.

The video from the Golden Eagle Country had been circulating among a small group of people for several months, but few really believed it. After all, it was too bizarre.

Even more unbelievable than the Golden Eagle Country's moon landing.

Wang Zhixuan's view was also the view of many martial artists.

The more powerful a person is, the less they trust others, let alone a mere video.

Buzz~~

At this moment, Jiang Shili's phone vibrated.

"Luo Neng? Why is he calling me?"

Jiang Shili picked up the phone:

"An Qisheng went to the airport? Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Shili smiled:

"He left decisively. He's an interesting person."

"He's improving very quickly."

Wang Zhixuan turned around: "You may not be able to beat him anymore."

"Hmm?"

Jiang Shili looked at Wang Zhixuan, somewhat surprised:

"He only entered An Jin a few months ago. Has he improved that quickly?"

Wang Zhixuan thought for a while and said:

"Incredibly talented."

"We can take him with us on the next mission to see if he's really that good."

Jiang Shili lay down comfortably. She didn't have much desire to compete.

Since she was ten years old, Wang Zhixuan had always been one step ahead of her. If she had been competitive, she would have been driven to death long ago.

.......

In the waiting hall of Xin City International Airport, An Qisheng was waiting for the train when his phone suddenly vibrated:
