My profession is too unique.

Chapter 91 Is there something else hidden?

Gu Bing couldn't help but sigh at the unpredictability of human destiny.

If Zhang Hongbo were still the lord of Nanfeng City, and had contributed to the capture of the Black Buddha statue, it wouldn't be a problem to send his son to the court of judgment.

Unfortunately, Zhang Hongbo's legitimacy has been stripped away, and he has no credit whatsoever for the capture of the black statue.

If Su Chen doesn't speak up, Zhang Hengyu will definitely be suppressed for a year, but things might change next year.

Gu Bing couldn't help but say, "So, by that calculation, Nanfeng actually has three people going to the courtroom this year."

"Three?" Su Chen was slightly surprised.

“There’s another one, you should know about it, the Third Judge’s new female student. When she came, she specifically told us to take her back,” Gu Bing explained. “She has a unique professional talent that is extremely compatible with the Third Judge’s professional sequence.”

"Old Bai." Su Chen suddenly realized, so that's how it is, it's not surprising.

“Then I’ll change your information as soon as possible,” Yuan Chenyang said, “to make you an ordinary resident.”

"It's people like you who treat refugees as a disgrace." Xia Hanshi swept his gaze over, his tone icy.

“This…” Yuan Chenyang didn’t know what to say.

“Being a refugee is certainly not shameful.” Su Chen readily agreed, his voice gentle yet firm:

"Being a refugee is unfortunate and tragic, but other people's opinions are not subject to our will. If this identity causes more misfortune, the students believe it is unnecessary."

A simple data modification could reduce some trouble, and Su Chen didn't want to refuse to make the changes because of Xia Hanshi's stubbornness.

Everyone held their breath and concentrated.

Xia Hanshi remained silent for a long time before finally saying calmly, "You're right."

Yuan Chenyang breathed a sigh of relief, while Yang Yan and Gu Bing looked at Su Chen with admiration.

"Follow me." Xia Hanshi walked towards the door.

Su Chen followed slowly.

Yuan Chenyang looked somewhat worried. After the two left the room and turned into the stairwell, he asked in a low voice, "I hope nothing bad will happen."

“No…” Zhang Hongbo shook his head, seemingly having recovered somewhat. “If Elder Xia hadn’t been persuaded, he wouldn’t have needed to pretend in front of us. There must be something else going on.”

.........

Upon reaching the top floor, a cold wind swept over them. Xia Hanshi's voice remained calm as he said, "The priest was indeed there, with an extremely small margin of error. He had no idea we were there."

"That person with a strong sense of justice is very capable."

Su Chen remained silent, and Xia Hanshi only mentioned it lightly before omitting it: "The Tribunal assessment is still more than two months away. Under normal circumstances, Nanfeng will send officials to escort you there a month later."

"I don't trust them. You go with Yang Yan and the others first."

Su Chen frowned slightly. "Aren't you coming with us to respond to Feng?"

"There are still some things to do. The Cult of the Demon God has a grand plan. The spatial crystal that Yunlan lost hasn't been found yet, and Nanfeng's Sacred Word Stone should also be part of it." Xia Hanshi frowned.

"The priests came to Nanfeng City because of an accident; their original plan was definitely not like this."

“Nanfeng City has closed in, and many leads are no longer available. I can only go to Yunlan to see if there are any leads.”

Space crystal... Su Chen fell silent. Fortunately, Lao Xia's goal was not to find the space crystal, but to investigate the root cause behind it. Otherwise, he could only apologize.

"You are truly dedicated and responsible," Su Chen exclaimed sincerely.

Where can you find such a responsible presiding judge? All those malicious words outside must be out of jealousy.

“Doing my duty…” Xia Hanshi chuckled self-deprecatingly, then added, “If nothing unexpected happens, I should be back when the court assessment begins.”

"Understood, I will definitely not let you down," Su Chen said solemnly.

……

"Old Xia is a really nice guy."

When Su Chen returned, he was still muttering to himself. He knew he had a secret, but he didn't press him for details.

"I reckon that with him, as long as they're not believers in the Ghost God, everything is fine. If he can kill a believer in the Ghost God, that would be even better."

If it were any other presiding judge, they might have developed a strong curiosity about that "person with a sense of justice."

"Nanfeng City should be at peace now."

Su Chen returned to his room, and just in case, he switched back to his Black Tuo follower mode to see if there was anything else hidden in the shadows.

As soon as he switched, he felt a rather intense reaction that made his heart pound. His brow twitched, and his face turned somewhat pale. "Why is there still more?"

Su Chen was genuinely startled. He had thought everything was peaceful, but then he discovered another surprise, and it was extremely close.

But he quickly calmed down, carefully sensing the surroundings. He looked to the upper left, his expression gradually softening. "This is... that black statue?"

“The strength has weakened considerably, it’s even weaker than the previous artifact.” Su Chen sensed it carefully.

Once he confirmed it was the Black Buddha statue, Su Chen relaxed. "No wonder Old Xia locked that thing up. Even though it has lost too much power, it shouldn't be underestimated."

"Hmm..." Just as he was thinking, another thought popped into his head, and he hesitated, "Old Xia... should know that this thing isn't clean yet, right?"

"Do you know? You should know, right?" Su Chen thought for a moment, but he wasn't quite sure himself.

I went out to look for Lao Xia, but I couldn't find him. I don't know where he went.

They could only knock on Gu Bing's door. The judge had just finished showering; her hair was still wet, her cheeks were flushed, and she was wearing gray pajamas.

"It's you?" Gu Bing was quite surprised and stepped aside to let him in.

As Su Chen walked, he rubbed his chest and said, "Envoy Gu, I don't know why, but I always feel uneasy, as if something is about to happen."

A strange look flashed across Gu Bing's eyes. She glanced at Su Chen with a peculiar expression, seemingly lost in thought, and then said with a gentle smile, "I am a disciple of the Fifth Chief Judge. If you don't mind, you can call me Senior Sister."

“Senior sister…” Su Chen called out, and Gu Bing’s smile widened, with a hint of teasing: “Then junior brother can tell me in detail what’s wrong, and senior sister will help you.”

That sounds so strange.
Su Chen was puzzled, but seeing the meaningful look in Gu Bing's eyes, he realized what was going on and cursed inwardly. If it were a junior sister knocking on his door in the middle of the night, saying she was scared, he would probably overthink it too.

But I have nothing to hide, so Su Chen pretended to be clueless and replied, "That's right, ever since I saw that black statue, my heart has been pounding."

"We'll be traveling with it all the way back to Yingfeng. Hopefully, nothing will go wrong."

Seeing Su Chen's serious expression, Gu Bing looked a little embarrassed and composed herself, explaining, "Don't worry, even if the Ghost God Statue contains the power of the Ghost God, it is still just an inanimate object."

“We and Elder Xia have already tested it, and it’s just an empty shell now, so there won’t be any problems.”

"They really didn't notice?" Su Chen asked, seemingly a little uneasy, "My teacher couldn't possibly be mistaken, could he?"

Gu Bing pondered, "Perhaps..."

Su Chen was speechless.

Gu Bing chuckled and said, "The power of the Ghost God is unimaginable. No one can guarantee it, but based on past experience, there shouldn't be any problems."

"Thank you for your explanation, Senior Sister." Su Chen looked relieved and got up to leave.

Gu Bing closed the door, chuckled, and shook her head.

"Old Xia and Gu Bing have already tested it and given a negative evaluation... so there shouldn't be any problem." Su Chen pondered to himself, when suddenly everything went black. He looked up and saw Yang Yan.

His expression was somewhat strange as he looked away from Gu Bing's door.

“Special Envoy Yang…” Su Chen stepped aside, and the two exchanged a brief greeting.

Back in his room, Su Chen was still pondering, "This is probably normal. After all, it once housed the powerful energy of the Black Tortoise. Now that some of it is left, it's not a big deal."

Having no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being, Su Chen took out the Mist Fiend Potion and the Illusion Mirror Essence from his storage space, gulped them down, and entered the gravity chamber.

As soon as he started moving, he felt a sharp pain all over his body from his injuries, but it wasn't too serious. Gritting his teeth, Su Chen gradually got into the zone.

……

The next morning, people all over Nanfeng City were talking about the grand occasion that had happened the night before.

"Half the sky was covered in golden flames, it was terrifying..."

"This isn't the first time; it happened once before, but the scope wasn't large..."

"What exactly is going on? There's been no explanation from above."

The three departments of city patrol, surveillance, and exploration have been integrated and are working to wrap things up based on clues gathered from previous investigations.

Many long-time followers of the evil god were arrested, and this purge lasted for more than ten days before it ended.

.........

[Wind and Thunder Envoy: 20%]

[Mystic Master: 15%]

[E-Rank Gale Body Tempering Technique - Mastery: 5%]

[E-Rank Virtual Star Meditation Technique - Proficiency: 30%]

After finishing his workout and rinsing off the sweat, Su Chen couldn't help but sigh that the development speed of the second stage was much slower than that of the first stage.

This is even with ample resources and his dual red-gold talent.

The table was covered with glass bottles, all filled with Illusion Essence and Mist Elixir, and even ten portions of Glazed Blood.

It was all thanks to Lao Yuan's efforts to squeeze things out for him. Once he became the city lord, things naturally became easier in this regard.

After tidying up briefly and changing his clothes, Su Chen went to a private dining room inside the Surveillance Guard's canteen, a space reserved for high-ranking officers.

“Brother Su Chen…”

As soon as we entered, the little pigeons came up to us and shouted with delight.

"Haha, you seem to have grown taller..." Su Chen patted her head and found a place to sit down.

"Old Bai, when did you advance to the second tier?" Su Chen casually asked Bai Fengxi, who was standing next to him.

"A couple of days ago." Bai Fengxi sighed. Su Chen's promotion speed was ridiculously fast, which made her own promotion feel like nothing.

"You've been promoted really fast," Su Chen couldn't help but remark. "Is this the terrifying power of a unique professional talent?"

"It can only be applied to specific professions." Bai Fengxi shook her head.

"enough."

During this time, he gained a more detailed understanding of Lao Bai. The so-called profession-specific talent is specifically adapted to a certain profession sequence, and the promotion speed may be faster than the regular Crimson Gold talent.

However, the drawback is that it is difficult to achieve success in other professional fields.

"Has the departure date been set?"

The door opened, and the dishes were served. They were all delicate stir-fries, and the taste and nutrition were both very good.

"Okay, three days from now." Bai Fengxi nodded, while the little pigeon beside her was clearly in a bad mood.

"We'll come back often," Su Chen said, placing some food on her plate.

Although the little pigeon's talent isn't particularly outstanding, it's not impossible for it to go to Yingfeng.

The "spot" they had previously fought for only allowed them to enter the courtroom, not to secure Ying Feng's place.

But she is too young now, and Bai Fengxi does not plan to take her away. It would be better for her to stay in Nanfeng City, where Yuan Chenyang can protect her.

"You guys have to work hard." The little pigeon composed itself and said seriously, "I've already experienced the benefits of being a second-generation heir, and I hope that one day I can go to Yingfeng and wreak havoc."

"Little rascal," Su Chen chuckled.
