Godslayer: The Progenitor of Symbiotes

"Commander-in-Chief of the Daxia Night Watch, Ye Fan."

Qin Yueguan saw the man and immediately stood up, "Old Ye!"

Qin Xue looked at Ye Fan with surprise and doubt in her eyes, "Uncle Ye?"

Qin's mother took Qin Xue's hand and said gently, "We haven't told you or your brother that our family has been supporting the Night Watch."

Chen Shu ignored Ye Fan's self-introduction and calmly sat back on the sofa. "I should have thought of that. If Baili Group can have contact with the Night Watchers, then the Qin family naturally has a chance too."

Qin Yueguan glanced at Ye Fan, then at Chen Shu, sensing something was off. "This... do you two know each other?"

Ye Fan walked over to Qin Yueguan, patted him on the shoulder, and the two sat back down on the sofa. "Old Qin, you don't know, Chen Shu is actually a night watchman."

Before Qin Yueguan could express her surprise, Chen Shu was the first to deny it, "That's not the case now."

Ye Fan looked slightly embarrassed. "We've retained your Night Watch status. You're welcome to come back anytime you're willing."

"Oh," Chen Shu replied casually.

Ye Fan: ...

Qin Yueguan: ? ? ? What happened?

There were many things about the Night Watch that couldn't be discussed at the Qin residence, so Ye Fan tentatively asked, "Chen Shu, could we talk alone?"

Chen Shu picked up the water glass on the table, took a small sip, and said calmly, "Oh, you want to kill me?"

Qin Yueguan looked at Ye Fan in shock, "Old Ye, you can't do this. Let's talk things out. Don't resort to killing people so easily."

Ye Fan's expression was extremely grim. The dignified Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch, one of humanity's five greatest masters…

To be humiliated by a mysterious figure from Sichuan is truly shameful!

Ye Fan straightened his expression and said in a deep voice, "Chen Shu, there are some things we haven't considered thoroughly enough. To express our gratitude, this is the Star Sea Medal awarded to you."

Ye Fan opened a small black box and pushed it in front of Chen Shu.

Chen Shu glanced indifferently at the blue medal lying quietly inside the box.

Although Chen Shu appeared indifferent, he was actually quite doubtful. The limitations of the [Lightning Summoning Technique] were considerable. Even with a large number of Night Watchmen, there might not be one who could cultivate it to the level of "Klein".

Ye Fan's next words just happened to answer Chen Shu's question.

"That secret manual, plus the report from the [medium] a few days ago, these two things combined, I hereby award you this Star Sea Medal."

Chen Shu nodded with feigned satisfaction, putting away the Star Sea Medal. "Not bad. If you hadn't even given me some thanks, I would have considered taking back that manual."

Seeing Chen Shu put away the Star Sea Medal, Ye Fan's expression softened considerably. "Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, can we talk about serious matters?"

Chen Shu nodded, saying nonchalantly, "Go ahead, I'm listening."

Ye Fan looked at Qin Yueguan, "I'm sorry, Qin, how about your family excuses us for a moment?"

"It's alright. I know this is not something ordinary people like us can get involved in." Qin Yueguan nodded and led Qin Xue and the other person out of the main hall.

The moment the three left, a subtle fluctuation of spiritual energy swept over Chen Shu, and a layer of pale golden Buddhist light enveloped the entire room.

Ye Fan looked at Chen Shu, who was casually leaning back on the sofa, and joked, "Aren't you afraid I'll take action?"

Chen Shu nodded affirmatively, "Of course you're afraid, but I believe you're also afraid of the more than two thousand uncontrolled [symbiotes]."

Chen Shu's words revealed his vast resources, leaving Ye Fan in awe.

Although it lacks high-end combat power, if the [symbiote] were to develop uncontrollably, it would be a devastating blow to the entire Great Xia.

Conversely, if the symbiotes are effectively controlled, their help to humanity will be immense. Perhaps, the Great Xia, armed with symbiotes, will become an impregnable fortress.

Ye Fan smiled and shook his head, "Let's not talk about these useless things. Let's talk about cooperating to eradicate the Ancient God Church."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shu's leisurely gaze turned serious. He had been coveting Meng Qi from the [Whispering] for a long time. "That's possible, but what do you need me to do?"

Seeing that Chen Shu was very interested in this matter, Ye Fan couldn't help but feel happy. "You should also know that there is a shortage of night watchmen, and every city needs people to guard it."

"This makes it difficult for us to mobilize our grassroots combat forces at will, but with your help, this problem will be solved. Then, we will send a special team to help you."

Chen Shu didn't find Ye Fan's idea inappropriate; it was just that his own men only had the combat power of the "Zhan" realm, so they couldn't play much of a role.

"Okay, give me some time to develop, and I'll let you know when I'm ready."

Ye Fan readily nodded, stood up, and extended his hand to Chen Shu, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you, Chairman Chen."

Chen Shu naturally stood up as well, and shook Ye Fan's hand, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you, Commander Ye."

The Buddha's light that enveloped the main hall dissipated, and Ye Fan walked out of the main hall, apologetically patting Qin Xue's head, "I'm sorry, Xiao Xue, it's not that Uncle didn't want to save you, it's just that I had too many concerns, and I was willing but unable to do so."

Chen Shu, leaning against the threshold, spoke softly, "Go on, you're just a nobody. If you don't have the strength, you don't have the strength."

Ye Fan gave Qin Yueguan a final greeting, then transformed into a golden light and soared into the sky, disappearing into the horizon.

After what had just happened, Qin Yueguan's attitude towards Chen Shu improved even further, and she directly arranged for Qin Xue to take Chen Shu to stay in the room next to hers.

It was late at night, and Chen Shu didn't plan to rush to Cangnan overnight, so he stayed at Qin Yueguan's place.

midnight.

Chen Shu lay on the bed, holding the Star Sea Medal that Ye Fan had just given him.

The soft moonlight streamed through the window, illuminating the sea-blue medal and making it radiate an extraordinary glow. The starry sky and vast ocean contained within it were mesmerizing.

Just as Chen Shu was immersed in the special charm of the Star Sea Medal, a faint sound suddenly came from outside the door, as if someone was gently pushing the door open.

"Brother Chen, could you please open the door for me?"

Qin Xue's faint voice came through the crack in the door, seemingly realizing that it was locked from the inside.

Chen Shu was momentarily stunned, somewhat confused as to why she wasn't sleeping in the middle of the night and had come to his place.

"No, this is your home. Be mindful of the impact."

When Chen Shu's indifferent voice reached Qin Xue's ears, she immediately became unhappy, "So, are you leaving tomorrow or not?"

"Come on, I have something to do."

"Then let me in, or I'll stay at the door all night... unless you stay a few days longer." Qin Xue's stubborn voice rang out softly.
