Chapter 486 Another Surprise
The meeting room, which had been filled with some quiet murmurs, fell completely silent in an instant.
All eyes turned toward the doorway like searchlights.
The moment Lin Qiye's excessively youthful figure stepped into the conference room.
"Splash—"
Chen Tianyang, who was in the main seat, was the first to stand up!
His movements were swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation or airs.
Seeing that even this "half-step Martial God" had stood up, the several senior and mysterious experts sitting below him also felt a jolt in their hearts and quickly stood up as well.
The remaining people were still hesitant about whether to give this young man such face, but when they saw that even Chen Tianyang was standing, how could they dare to sit?
"Splash—"
In less than two seconds, all the dozen or so mysterious and powerful figures in the conference room stood up!
This is a silent welcome, and also the highest tribute to the strong.
Lin Qiye stood at the door, his gaze calmly sweeping over the crowd.
With his superhuman perception, the strength of these people's auras was crystal clear to him.
They are indeed all mysterious realms.
Although most of them are only at the initial stage of the Mysterious Realm, with a few at the intermediate stage, this is indeed a force not to be underestimated.
Finally, his gaze fell on the middle-aged man in the main seat.
His vital energy is like a dragon's, and his will is as deep as an abyss.
He is indeed a whole level better than the others.
Just as Lin Qiye was sizing up Chen Tianyang, Chen Tianyang was also sizing up Lin Qiye.
The more Chen Tianyang looked, the more surprised he became.
He actually... couldn't see through this young man!
The other party was like a bottomless ocean, calm on the surface, but seemingly containing a terrifying vortex that could devour everything.
"Haha, this must be Mr. Lin Qiye, the one who turned the tide!"
Chen Tianyang broke the silence with a hearty laugh.
He didn't put on any airs of a senior; instead, he turned to the side, pointed to the previously empty seat next to him, and made an inviting gesture:
"I am Chen Tianyang."
"Mr. Lin, would you mind sitting here with me?"
These words caused a subtle shift in the atmosphere of the meeting room.
The seat next to Chen Tianyang was not a place that just anyone could sit in.
Generally, only someone of the rank of president of the Ten Schools Alliance or a judge of the same rank as the chief judge can sit in this position.
In the 0755 galaxy, this position, while not necessarily representing an equal status with Chen Tianyang, is not significantly different.
All eyes were on Lin Qiye, eager to see how this excessively young deputy commander would respond.
Is it a humble refusal, or...?
Lin Qiye remained calm, showing neither the fear of being flattered nor the arrogance of someone who had achieved early success.
He simply nodded slightly, took a step, and steadily walked across the long table under the watchful eyes of more than a dozen mysterious experts, heading straight to Chen Tianyang's side.
"Since Mr. Chen has extended the invitation, I will gladly accept."
His tone was flat, as if this was the position he deserved.
He sat down with an imposing air, his posture upright, and his aura at that moment was in no way inferior to that of the half-step martial god who had been immersed in martial arts for many years.
Lin Yuechan then naturally sat down in the seat below Lin Qiye.
Xiao Ruoshui hesitated for a moment, then sat down next to Lin Yuechan as well.
The admiration in Chen Tianyang's eyes deepened.
"Haha, great!"
Chen Tianyang sat down again, his eyes fixed intently on Lin Qiye:
"Deputy Commander Lin, to be honest, my two good-for-nothing grandchildren, Xuanyi and Xuanxuan, have been mentioning your name quite often at home lately."
"Especially Xuanxuan, she idolizes you a lot."
"I initially thought it was just kids exaggerating, but after seeing it today, I realize they were being conservative."
This is not only a casual chat, but also an expression of goodwill and a way to build rapport.
Lin Qiye smiled slightly and replied:
"Chen Xuanyi and Chen Xuanxuan are both very talented students, and we get along very well at school."
"We can invite them to visit the villa on the hillside when they have time."
A few simple pleasantries set the tone for a friendly exchange between the two sides.
Chen Tianyang looked at Lin Qiye with a gentle expression and said, "Actually, there is another important reason why we are so eager to confirm your position. I hope Vice Commander Lin won't mind."
"You're too kind, Elder Chen." Lin Qiye smiled faintly, indicating his understanding.
At this moment, an old man sitting on the other side of Chen Tianyang spoke up.
It was Feng Zhentian, the head of the Ten Schools Alliance and a mysterious powerhouse who had just returned from the front lines of the Abyss.
"Vice Commander Lin," Feng Zhentian's voice was steady, yet tinged with earnestness, "the situation inside the abyss is worse than expected. Although the crisis in the real world has been temporarily averted, many strongholds are still besieged, and countless teachers, students, and soldiers are still struggling to hold on, awaiting rescue."
At this point, Feng Zhentian looked intently at Lin Qiye:
"We old bones will naturally return to fight after we've rested and recuperated. But in the current situation, every additional mysterious force brings a glimmer of hope."
"Therefore, on behalf of the Alliance, I request that Vice Commander Lin... perhaps also lend a hand and go to the Abyss to assist in the rescue?"
The meeting room fell silent.
Everyone was looking at Lin Qiye.
Everyone knows that mysterious powerful individuals are not only strategic resources, but also free individuals.
At this point, no one can force anyone else.
Especially going to places like the abyss where you're almost guaranteed to die.
If the person is unwilling, even moral blackmail will be useless and may even cause resentment, leading to the newly promoted powerhouse becoming disloyal.
However, there was almost no hesitation.
Under everyone's gaze, Lin Qiye nodded, his tone calm yet firm:
"When the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken."
"I am willing to go into the abyss to carry out the rescue."
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of both Feng Zhentian and Chen Tianyang.
They had expected to have to use a lot of persuasion and even promise a lot of benefits, but they didn't expect Lin Qiye to agree so readily.
But Lin Qiye was secretly calculating in his heart:
I was just worried about not having a suitable reason to go back to the abyss.
As long as I use this as an excuse to enter the abyss, I can find an opportunity to have my clone sneak into Jingkong City alone and begin my plan!
Thinking of this, Lin Qiye said, "However, I have one condition."
"Please speak," Feng Zhentian said immediately.
"Give me a week to rest," Lin Qiye said. "I just broke through recently and went through a major battle. I need some time to stabilize my realm and also to prepare some things."
He needed some time to consult Lin Yuechan about whether it was still necessary to complete the other cultivation techniques.
Moreover, having just returned from the abyss, he should rest for a few days and spend time with his women.
Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of surprise.
Chen Tianyang, in particular, looked at Lin Qiye with eyes full of admiration.
Only a week?
It should be noted that after experiencing a divine battle of that level, an ordinary mysterious expert would need at least several months or even half a year to recover.
This young man only asked for a week?
"Vice Commander Lin, there's no need to be in such a hurry," Chen Tianyang couldn't help but advise. "Haste makes waste; your health is the most important thing."
"No, a week is enough." Lin Qiye shook his head, his tone leaving no room for doubt. "Saving lives is urgent, and the situation over there can't be delayed."
What he was thinking was:
You're not in a hurry, but I am! My gold coins and my authority points are waiting for me in the Clear Sky City! Every day I'm late, the more risk I face!
Chen Tianyang was deeply moved when he saw Lin Qiye's resolute eyes.
"Great! A truly urgent rescue!"
Chen Tianyang slammed his hand on the table, a surge of heroic spirit rising within him:
"This is the backbone of our 0755 galaxy!"
"Since Brother Lin has such a chivalrous heart, then this old man cannot fall behind!"
"Alright, I'll go in with you this time!"
"I've been wanting to go and meet those old fogies deep in the abyss too!"
"..."
Lin Qiye's lips twitched slightly.
Why is this old man getting involved?
This is clearly a trap for me!
If a half-step Martial God expert were to accompany me throughout, my actions would definitely be restricted.
It will be much more difficult for a clone to slip away unnoticed.
But since things had come to this point, he couldn't refuse.
"Alright, then I'll trouble Elder Chen to take care of things." Lin Qiye nodded, but in his mind he was quickly calculating how to get rid of the old man.
The meeting ended quickly.
After all, everyone's time is precious. Once the strategic direction was determined, everyone went their separate ways to prepare.
Lin Qiye didn't want to stay any longer, so he stood up and grabbed Lin Yuechan's wrist.
"Teacher Lin, there are still many details about cultivation that I would like to ask you privately."
Lin Yuechan stiffened, feeling the heat from her wrist, and her ears instantly turned red.
She glared at Lin Qiye with a hint of reproach in her beautiful eyes.
consult?
I think you're just trying to find ways to torment me!
That little rascal, he'd only been quiet for a short while...
However, given the presence of other powerful figures around, she couldn't easily make a scene and could only reluctantly let Lin Qiye pull her away.
However, the two had only taken a few steps out of the meeting room.
Wang, the administrative elder who had been waiting in the corridor, greeted him with a broad smile.
Behind him were two young women.
The two women were wearing familiar secretary uniforms.
In terms of figure, appearance, and temperament, she is in no way inferior to Chen Ya and Su Fei!
It could even be said that each has its own merits.
Lin Yuechan, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but roll her eyes at the sight.
