My profession is too unique.

Chapter 82 Double Crimson Gold! (Seeking first subscription!)
"Heh..." Xia Hanshi snorted coldly.

Zhang Hongbo's Adam's apple bobbed as he couldn't help but think that, given this incident and the previous compensation, Su Chen should have vented his anger quite a bit.

Su Chen noticed that he kept glancing at her, and he probably thought that Su Chen had instigated it.

Xia Hanshi then said, "Little Fatty, you can go back now."

Sun Tai, being the only fat man present, snapped to his senses and quickly said, "I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now."

He left in a hurry, glancing hesitantly at Su Chen as if asking if he wasn't leaving.

Seeing Su Chen shake his head slightly, Sun Tai was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask. He could only tiptoe out and close the door behind him.

However, just as the door was sewn shut, he heard Su Chen speak, "Teacher..."

Teacher? Sun Tai paused slightly, instinctively thinking, "Is it Minister Yuan who's back?"

But he immediately denied it, and then, as if struck by lightning, the scenes that had just happened flashed before his eyes.

The incident happened so suddenly that he didn't have time to think. Only now did he realize what had happened, and his expression became quite interesting.

Is the student Judge Xia referring to Su Chen?

Minister, your house has been burgled!
……

“Teacher, the city lord was trying to capture members of the Ghost God Cult before, which is understandable.”

Inside the room, Su Chen spoke with a tone of admonition.

Zhang Hongbo coughed dryly, spat the bloody foam into the trash can, and looked up at him with surprise.

Xia Hanshi said calmly, "So, he's still alive. Bring the talent detector."

"Yes." Zhang Hongbo suppressed his discomfort, turned on his bracelet, and gave instructions on the virtual screen.

"Elder Xia..." Zhang Hongbo took a few breaths, but still forced himself to say, "Can you think of a way? We can't let the Ghost God Sect cause trouble in Nanfeng City."

“Su Chen…” Xia Hanshi grinned, “Look, it was clearly his fault for not investigating in the early stages, but now it’s become my problem.”

"If I can't come up with a solution, does that mean I'm disregarding human life?"

Zhang Hongbo quickly explained, "That's not what I meant."

"Heh..." Xia Hanshi sneered: "You say it's not true, so it's not? If something really happens in Nanfeng City, your teacher will definitely try to pin it on me to save you."

"Most of my reputation comes from this."

He was explaining to Su Chen that since she had become his student, she shouldn't have any deep misunderstandings about him.

Su Chen listened silently. He didn't quite believe what Gu Bing said, but he also didn't quite believe what Lao Xia himself said.

Yang Yan and Gu Bing were panting, their expressions hesitant.

They had never cooperated with this person before, and this investigation was originally just the two of them; Xia Hanshi came along temporarily.

My understanding of Xia Hanshi comes from rumors in the courtroom, and now it seems there's more to it than meets the eye.
"If there's a problem, we'll solve it." Xia Hanshi said in a deep voice, "It's unrealistic to pin our hopes on others. We don't know anything about Nanfeng. We'll have to see where that priest is hiding."

"Based on my understanding of them, their hiding place must be well hidden. If they want to summon the vessel of the ghost god, the preliminary preparations will be very complicated. It is impossible to do it without being hidden."

“Hidden?” Zhang Hongbo frowned. “The south wind is only so strong, there’s no place that’s really hidden.”

A vessel for a mysterious god? Black Tuo's?
Upon hearing this, Su Chen, who was standing nearby, felt an increasingly bad premonition.

He had already absorbed the power from the artifact several times. Could this thing's arrival be for his sake?
The followers of Black Tuo have been investing resources into South Wind City, which might be related to him.

He pondered for a moment, but did not speak rashly.

Just as Zhang Hongbo was about to say something more, there was a knock on the door, and his men brought in a talent detector. "Come on." Xia Hanshi opened it, and Su Chen peeked inside; it was similar to the one Old Yuan had used last time.

He flung out the mental talent testing device, drawing everyone's attention. Su Chen had already admitted it last time, but ultimately it hadn't been tested.

Su Chen reached out and took it, and soon, a rich pillar of crimson-gold light appeared on it.

No one was surprised, and Xia Hanshi nodded in satisfaction.

"Still crimson gold... but it seems a bit more concentrated," Su Chen muttered to himself. "I thought it would be even higher..."

Even with a combined increase of 100% from the wise and scholars, and considering his own spiritual talent being Silver, even with a doubling of his potential, he still didn't break through to Crimson Gold.

"Let's take another look at his physical talent and make a record of it." Xia Hanshi thought for a moment and then threw out another testing ball.

Su Chen reached out and took it.

Everyone had already looked away, but Zhang Hongbo was pondering what exactly made Nanfeng so secluded.

Xia Hanshi's eyes flickered. He hadn't expected to find a Crimson Gold Seedling on this trip, especially one who was a refugee.

Because of his reputation, very few promising talents are available for him to select, and even fewer are willing to become his students.

"His temperament seems quite good; if properly nurtured, he might truly have a chance..."

As he was pondering, a glimpse of something caught his eye out of the corner of his eye: Hmm?
Xia Hanshi suddenly turned his head, and his sinister eyes shone with a ghostly light.

In Su Chen's hand, a dazzling pillar of crimson-gold light shone brightly.

"Physical talent, also Crimson Gold!?" Zhang Hongbo was taken aback.

Old Yuan, Old Yuan, you've kept this a secret for so long! You managed to discover such a promising talent.

Unfortunately, it belongs to someone else now.

Thinking of this, Zhang Hongbo's originally depressed mood improved a lot.

"Double red gold? That's rare..." Gu Bing's eyes were glazed over.

Yang Yan coughed twice, his abdomen aching slightly. Old Xia was too shrewd; he had only seen Su Chen once, and a few days later, he sensed something was wrong.

"His physical talent has reached the Crimson Gold level..." Su Chen himself wasn't surprised.

"He was born to be my student, Xia Hanshi." Old Xia had calmed down, but you could still hear the suppressed excitement in his voice.

"Congratulations, Elder Xia." Yang Yan quickly spoke up, and Gu Bing added, "The two of you are destined to be together."

Zhang Hongbo also smiled and said, "What belongs to Elder Xia will ultimately belong to Elder Xia."

Su Chen: “…”

Seeing that Xia Hanshi seemed to be in a better mood, Zhang Hongbo seized the opportunity to say, "I've come up with an idea. Please give me your opinion and see if it works."

"Speak," Xia Hanshi said, looking at him.

Zhang Hongbo said, "The south wind is too strong, and we are short-handed. It is indeed too late to send people from Yingfeng. Do you think we can transfer some people from the nearby cities to provide support?"

“They won’t send anyone.” Yang Yan frowned. “Even if they have Ying Feng’s orders, they can make excuses and claim that they have also discovered members of the Ghost God Cult on their side.”

If you go to rescue others, what if something happens to you? If there are casualties, it's a real loss for you.

Zhang Hongbo pursed his lips. He had dealt with Ying Feng's transfer order in the same way before, so he naturally knew how this group of people would respond.

“He wants me to be the villain.” Xia Hanshi said indifferently, “The city lords of other cities are not afraid of Ying Feng’s retribution. They can just give him some excuses and Ying Feng will at most criticize them. But I’m different. I will really come knocking on his door.”
