There were many tourists gathered under the banyan tree, and it was very lively and noisy.
Wen Xin was short and couldn't reach the lower branches even though he was holding the wooden sign with his wishes written on it. He was so anxious that he jumped on the spot.
Fang Cheng walked over, lifted Little Girl up with one hand, and asked her to hang the sign steadily on a high horizontal branch.
Lin Chuqiao and Zhou Xiumei avoided the sight of others, each found a relatively empty position, and carefully tied the ribbon of the wooden sign.
After making wishes and praying, everyone then wandered around the temple and around Bamboo Grove.
When we left Sea Queen Goddess Temple, it was still early, only around three o'clock.
Off-Road Vehicle drove along the ridge to the highest point of Yong'an Island - "Sea-Viewing Peak".
This is the real top of the entire Sea Island.
On the edge of the steep Cliff, hundreds of steps of stone stairs were manually built.
There are thick bushes on both sides of the mountain road, and the sea breeze flows in from both sides of the ridge without any obstruction, blowing people's clothes flying.
Fang Cheng and several other people got out of the car and climbed up the steep stone stairs on foot.
When climbing to the last slope, Zhou Xiumei's pace slowed down obviously, a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his breathing became rapid.
When stepping over a protruding rough stone, the soles of my feet became weak and became a little slippery.
Fang Cheng was walking in front of her, noticed the movement behind her, immediately turned around, reached out his hand and clasped her wrist directly.
Exert Force's arms were slightly raised, and Zhou Xiumei's whole body was lightly lifted onto the flat Stone Steps.
Feeling the power coming from his palm, Zhou Xiumei quickly stood firm.
She withdrew her hand, pushed the damp hair scattered around her face behind her ears, blushed and whispered:
"Brother Cheng, why don't you leave first? I'll catch up after a while."
"It's okay."
Fang Cheng did not follow her wishes. He stopped and stood there, shouting to Pan Wendi and Wen Xin who were walking in front:
"Everyone, let's take a break first."
Pan Wendi in front heard the noise and sat down directly on Stone Steps, tugging on his collar and vomiting bitterly:
"Oh, let's go. It's so hard to build these steps. If I had known, I should have got two sliding poles at the bottom to lift us up."
Wen Xin Little Girl was not tired at all. He squatted in the grass on the roadside and fiddled with an unknown small beetle with a Withered Tree branch.
Lin Chuqiao, who deliberately stayed at the back, heard this and strode across several stone steps.
She pretended to be out of breath, fanned her face with her hands, then took out a bottle of Mineral Water from her bag and put it under Fang Cheng's eyes.
"Brother Cheng, my hands are very sore, please help me open a bottle cap."
Lin Chuqiao had a soft voice and pushed the water bottle into Fang Cheng's arms with a bit of coquettishness.
Pan Wendi couldn't help but feel numb when he heard his cousin's cooing tone. He looked at Lin Chuqiao like a ghost, as if he didn't recognize her.
Fang Cheng took it with a calm expression, twisted her wrist, broke the sealing strip with a click, and stuffed it back into her hand.
"Thank you."
Lin Chuqiao smiled brightly, took the water bottle, raised his slender neck and took a few sips.
Then, she handed the remaining half bottle of water to Fang Cheng, her eyebrows curved:
"Brother Cheng, do you drink?"
Fang Cheng waved his hand. "No need."
Lin Chuqiao put the water bottle back into his satchel, then turned around and looked at Zhou Xiumei who was holding his knees to calm down.
"Xiumei sister, you still need to exercise more."
She spoke softly, with a smile on her lips:
"If you are always bored at home and your body is too weak, if you follow Brother Cheng from now on, I'm afraid you will run into some trouble, and you will have to be distracted and taken care of."
Hearing the words "Follow Brother Cheng", Zhou Xiumei's long eyelashes trembled.
She met Lin Chuqiao's smiling gaze, her expression slightly awkward, but after a moment she still pursed her lips and replied in a low voice:
"Sister Lin is talking about. I have been going to school with Brother Cheng since I was a child, and I know his temper best. I am a bit clumsy, but Brother Cheng always accommodates me and is willing to wait for me even when he walks slowly."
When Lin Chuqiao heard this, the smile on his face faded by half, and the corner of his eye slanted towards Fang Cheng.
It seemed like I was stung by the plot of this childhood sweetheart, and there was a burst of sourness in my heart for no reason.
Fang Cheng just pretended that he didn't understand the hidden meaning behind the two women's words, and reached out to pat Wen Xin on the head, brushing off the grass clippings on her body.
Take a short break for a few minutes.
Everyone continued to climb up.
It didn't take long before everyone finally stood on the Two-Tier Stone Pavilion at the top of Sea-Viewing Peak.
Standing on the edge of Cliff, which is blocked by guardrails, the sense of narrowness that I felt when looking at the sea at the foot of the mountain was swept away.
Looking far into the distance, hundreds of millions of hectares of green and deep blue intertwined with the vast Ocean, spreading unreservedly to the end of the world under the sun.
Several giant cargo ships are plowing through the waves on the sea. From here, they look like tiny grains of slowly drifting sand.
Fang Cheng's eyes moved slightly, looking further into the distance along the undulating waves. The field of vision was so wide that the boundary could not be seen.
You can even see where Changyuan Trench is, and the piece of Abyss still looks like black ink under the refraction of sunlight.
He withdrew his gaze and turned to the other side of the mountainside a few kilometers away.
Truth Society Headquarters Building is hidden among the dense Mountain Forest, and the outline of the building is faintly revealed among the Tree Canopy.
Occasionally, tiny figures on patrol flashed across the rooftop, appearing orderly and heavily guarded.
The sound of wind on the top of the mountain completely dried everyone's sweat from climbing on the mountain trail.
The air is less dusty than the city, and has a coolness and clarity that belongs to high altitudes.
Looking at the buildings around the island scattered like a chessboard below, and listening to the muffled sound of the waves hitting Reef, everyone's fatigue along the way was swept away.
"Brother, this place is so beautiful--"
Wen Xin grabbed the pavilion Railing with both hands, stood on tiptoes, stretched his head out, and shouted excitedly down the mountain.
Pan Wendi took out his digital camera and took random pictures of the sky and the sea. He said that this place was much more comfortable than Eastern Capital's Rebar Cement, and suggested that everyone make an appointment to come to Yong'an Island for vacation every year in the future.
Fang Cheng smiled slightly, put his hand on the stone Railing, and took a deep breath of the cool breeze carrying the fragrance of grass leaves.
Looking at this vast world, the tight feeling in the chest that was originally filled with bloody killings and power games seemed to dissipate in this unobstructed view of the sea.
On his left side, Zhou Xiumei picked up the floral Handkerchief in his pocket and gently wiped the fine sweat on his cheek.
She looked at Yun Shu Yunjuan in the distance, then turned her head to look at Fang Cheng's side face, the tenderness in her eyes almost overflowing.
On the right side of Fang Cheng, Lin Chuqiao built a pergola with his hands and quietly watched the sunset in the distance.
The sea breeze blew her high ponytail hair away. She turned her head and glanced at Zhou Xiumei who was very close to her, and moved her fingers lightly on the edge of her skirt.
Finally, he moved half a step in the direction of Fang Cheng, his arms leaning against the man's sleeves.
The orange-red sunset slowly fell towards the sea level, elongating the figures of these people and spreading them between the vast mountains and sea.
Fang Cheng slightly raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes facing the gorgeous sunset.
During Yong'an Island's vacation away from the hustle and bustle, I can probably remember it for a lifetime.
Sun gradually sank to the west, and a large area of orange-red glow splashed on the sea.
The sea breeze passes through the layers of Mountain Forest, setting off waves of green waves.
Truth Society Headquarters Building In the office on the top floor.
Zheng Hongxin stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows with his hands behind his back, quietly watching the changing scenery of mountains and seas outside the window.
Crunch.
There was a soft sound of the door lock turning behind me.
The heavy Solid Wood Door was pushed away, and a steady sound of footsteps stopped a few steps away.
"Teacher, please look for me."
The voice of Chen Jiandong sounded in the room.
Zheng Hongxin withdrew his gaze, turned his head to look at his capable disciple, walked slowly to the tea table and sat down:
"President Fang How is their trip today?"
"I went to the Niangniang Temple in the afternoon and then climbed Sea-Viewing Peak. I was talking and laughing on the way, everything was normal."
Chen Jiandong walked forward quickly, picked up Purple Clay Teapot, and poured a cup of Hot Tea for Zheng Hongxin.
Zheng Hongxin picked up the tea cup and blew the floating tea leaves:
"Have you told the people below? Don't disturb President's elegance."
"Don't worry, I went down according to your instructions. The brothers only spread out far away from the outside to maintain safety and never get close."
Zheng Hongxin nodded slightly, took a sip of tea, and placed the cup on the wooden table:
"How is the other investigation going?"
Chen Jiandong heard the words and immediately understood.
The new President was born out of the blue, and his strength is unfathomable.
Truth Society didn't dare to offend in the slightest. There were some things that he couldn't ask face to face, so he could only use hidden lines to quietly find out Fang Cheng's specific origins.
He pulled up the chair next to him and sat down, lowering his voice and saying:
"Through the identity information they registered at Hotel, my subordinates confirmed that President Fang came from Eastern Capital. Then I used the contacts at Eastern Capital to access some of the police files."
He tidied up his words and continued:
"President Fang is from Eastern Capital JB Zone. File records show that when he was a child, his father was involved in a case of Serial Murder Case and committed suicide in fear of crime as the key suspect."
"After that, he has been living with his mother, living a relatively poor life, relying on her mother to work part-time jobs and raising him with great hardship."
Zheng Hongxin heard this and couldn't help but sigh:
"Single-parent family, with the reputation of a murderer father. President Growing up, it is not easy to reach this point today..."
"Indeed."
Chen Jiandong nodded and agreed:
"Information shows that President Fang didn't have anything particularly outstanding when he was young. It wasn't until after graduating from college that he started to show his prominence in a fighting Club as Sparring Partner, and as a result he was appreciated by East City Association Leader Shen Wei, a well-known local club."
"His Kung Fu foundation should have been laid in Club. The coaches and students all praised him as a Combat genius and believed that he was fully qualified to play in professional competitions, and it would be easy to win the world Boxing King."
Speaking of this, Chen Jiandong changed the subject and put forward his own opinions:
"But in our world of Aberrant, it is impossible to cross the gap between ordinary and Supernatural by relying solely on fighting Combat. Killing a top master like Hattori Kyuzo with bare hands cannot be practiced just by fighting Sandbag in the gym. I speculate that President Fang must have had other adventures."
Zheng Hongxin leaned against the back of the chair, thought for a moment and then spoke:
"His father was involved in that Serial Murder Case case. I'm afraid the inside story is not that simple. Perhaps President Fang inherited some kind of rare Blood Vessels, Awakening has the ability related to Martial Path. This power greatly changed his Physical Quality and martial arts Talent."
"The teacher's inference makes sense."
Chen Jiandong nodded with deep understanding:
"Perhaps it is because of this extraordinary potential that he is favored by all forces."
"We followed the clues and found out that the man and woman who accompanied him to the island for vacation this time are from Eastern Capital's top Aristocratic Family Pan Family, and are the real children of the Noble Clan."
A trace of surprise flashed in Zheng Hongxin's eyes:
"It seems President Fang's skills are not simple to make Noble Clan's disciples follow him willingly."
Chen Jiandong nodded, but his expression suddenly became a little strange.
He came closer and lowered his voice:
"Teacher, that's not all. When we were verifying the information, we discovered an abnormal situation...President Fang, currently working at Special Search Team."
Zheng Hongxin Hearing this, his body suddenly froze.
For Aberrant, Special Search Team is like a sharp sword hanging above his head.
Truth Society has occupied Yong'an Island for many years and is like a local bully, but under the constraints of Special Search Team, he still has to behave with his tail between his legs.
The underground Order, who can only rule this area, dare not come to the surface at all.
These two should be Water and Fire incompatible existences.
"Are you sure?" Zheng Hongxin frowned.
"I thought it was ridiculous when I first received the information. But I confirmed it three times and the information was accurate."
Chen Jiandong said in a determined tone:
"President Fang is indeed Special Search Team's employee, and he just passed Spring Recruitment Exam's entrance examination just a month ago, and he was admitted to the medical position."
Zheng Hongxin The shock on his face gradually turned into deep thought.
He stood up, walked to the window again, and looked at the darkening sea outside.
"Having the terrifying power to kill S-Class Aberrant at will, yet he is willing to be admitted to Special Search Team and become a low-level medical staff..."
Zheng Hongxin murmured to himself, and after a long time, he suddenly said:
"He must have a very deep plan for doing this. Perhaps he is using Special Search Team's internal authority to find out the truth about his father's alleged case, or perhaps he is playing a bigger game."
Zheng Hongxin turned around and stared at Chen Jiandong with a serious face:
"Jiandong, this information is classified as top secret. Apart from you and me, it must not be leaked to any third person."
"Understood."
Chen Jiandong responded solemnly.
Then, he also stood up and raised the current problem:
"Teacher, President Fang is expected to leave for Eastern Capital in the next few days. Once he leaves Yong'an Island, how should we maintain long-term contact with him?"
"The disciple believes that we must find a way to firmly bind him to Truth Society so that he can willingly sit in this position and lead us to complete the great cause of rejuvenation."
Zheng Hongxin After thinking for a moment, he said:
"Relationships between people are nothing more than giving in to others. He is in the light and we are in the dark, so we can complement each other."
"Eastern Capital If there is any dirty work that needs to be done, or if there are any scarce resources needed, Truth Society will use all the strength of the whole meeting to do it."
"As long as we show enough value and Loyalty, he will naturally not abandon this foundation."
Chen Jiandong nodded and took notes, his eyes fell on the teacher, and then the conversation changed:
"One more thing. Momochi Yugoro has already performed Dharma on the altar in accordance with the rules of the association. Iga Ninja has lost two top masters one after another. I'm afraid there will be a big move. How should we deal with it next?"
Zheng Hongxin snorted coldly, and a sharp energy burst out from his old eyes:
"There is no need to hide it. Spread out the process of President Fang killing Hattori Kyuzo and Momochi Yugoro with added fuel and jealousy, and shock the restless hostile forces around you."
He walked to the tea table, picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp, and said confidently:
"Let everyone in the underground world weigh it carefully. Truth Society now has a President who can easily crush S-Class Ability User. What does it mean!"
