Chen Chuan walked toward the figure. "Teacher Xue?"
Xue Shou smiled. "student Chen." He looked Chen Chuan over again, his voice carrying a trace of emotion. "Longevity Observation Realm. That was fast."
Chen Chuan looked at the man before him. In the past, he had always had only a vague sense of this teacher's strength and had found it difficult to judge accurately.
But now, upon taking a closer look, his current level of spirit allowed him to sense that although this man appeared no different from before, his aura did not seem entirely full. It was an exceedingly subtle feeling. How should he put it? Like a cup that had not been filled all the way.
If his judgment was correct, then the Teacher Xue who had appeared before him in the past had only ever been a portion of his power. Chen Chuan did not know how much of it that was, but it did not seem to be most of it. The man's true strength had certainly reached a certain level.
Thinking about it, that made sense. Merely a portion of his power had been enough to "escort" the Fighters of the entire Linax Federation delegation. And from beginning to end, he might have been the only one doing so. There was no way his strength could be weak.
Xue Shou had clearly sensed that Chen Chuan had noticed something, yet he had no intention of concealing it. He smiled and said, "The escort mission I was responsible for ended the moment the Linax delegation arrived in your Jibei Province.
"After that, they will return with you. Their safety will be entrusted to Jibei Province and Haidong Province."
Chen Chuan nodded. "Teacher Xue, leave it to me."
Xue Shou smiled. "Then I can finally take it easy."
