Foiling the Scheme, an Opportunity!

"What's wrong? Why are you so angry?" A stern voice rang out, and the person who arrived was none other than Yu Guanzhi.

"Greetings, Commander Yu." Upon seeing Yu Guanzhi, Wang Jie frowned slightly, but still saluted.

In terms of military rank, Yu Guanzhi was above him, belonging to the same level as their Western Legion commander.

When Jiang Xiu saw Yu Guanzhi appear, his purple eyes suddenly narrowed. Fortunately, he hadn't made a move. Yu Guanzhi had been hiding in the shadows all along. If he had made a move, he would have fallen right into Yu Guanzhi's trap.

He had already guessed the colonel's purpose, or rather, Yu Guanzhi's purpose.

Yu Guanzhi nodded slightly, walked up to the colonel, and waved his hand, saying, "We're all from the same brotherhood, no need for so much formality."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jie sneered inwardly, cursing the old fox in his heart. The reason he came here was precisely because of Yu Guanzhi.

On the surface, Wang Jie still said, "What the Commander-in-Chief says is true."

"Hmm..." After checking the colonel's injuries, Yu Guanzhi raised an eyebrow and said in a deep voice, "But since they are all from the Brotherhood Legion, why did they fight like this?"

"Commander Yu, this colonel wasn't wearing a uniform while enforcing the law. I thought he was a terrorist, so I acted rashly," Wang Jie said calmly, as if he had expected this. "If Commander Yu has any questions, please consult the Federation regulations."

Regardless, his actions just now were reasonable and compliant with regulations.

"Oh? Is that so?" Yu Guanzhi asked the colonel with a hint of surprise in his voice, his eyes carrying a rather meaningful look.

"Yes... yes." The colonel looked at his commander and replied somewhat nervously, then immediately added, "Reporting to the commander, this time it's my fault. I discovered that Jiang Xiu had been in contact with Evil Soul Master. Blinded by ambition, I came here alone, intending to take him back for interrogation."

"These things are all my fault, and I am willing to bear all the consequences."

"I see..." Yu Guanzhi nodded knowingly, then said softly, "Is this young man really related to the Evil Soul Master?"

"We've had contact, so I..." The colonel began, but was interrupted by Wang Jie's firm voice.

"Reporting to Commander Yu, this is impossible. Jiang Xiu is already a soldier of our Western Legion, and it is absolutely impossible for him to have any contact with Evil Soul Master. Furthermore, Xiao Xiu is our commander's apprentice, so it proves that the colonel's speculation is nothing but a fabrication."

"This young man is actually Brother Dragon King's apprentice? What a coincidence!" Yu Guanzhi exclaimed in surprise, then his expression turned slightly angry as he said to the colonel, "Not only did you act without authorization, but you even almost injured Brother Dong's apprentice. Go back and deal with it according to military law."

"Yes, sir!" The colonel's expression changed, but his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was relieved, because it meant that everything was alright.

After all, it was his regimental Yu Guanzhi, who had previously ordered him to handle this matter, and now it was clearly to help him out of a predicament.

Jiang Xiu stood behind Wang Jie, feeling a strong sense of security.

"Since it's all a misunderstanding, let's just let it go. When we get back, I, the regimental commander, will definitely make sure to discipline my soldiers properly. I also hope General Wang won't misunderstand," Yu Guanzhi said with a smile.

"Of course I wouldn't dare," Wang Jie said, shaking his head slightly, a hint of indifference flashing in his eyes.

"What are you still standing here for? Are you trying to make a fool of yourself?" Yu Guanzhi sneered, then led the colonel toward the end of the corridor.

But just then, Wang Jie's voice rang out again.

"By the way, Commander Yu, our commander asked me to convey a message to you:"

"In the Federation election five years from now, everyone should rely on their own abilities. Don't do anything shady or underhanded, or you'll lose face."

Upon hearing this, Yu Guanzhi paused, his eyes narrowing slightly, but his smile remained unchanged. Instead, he said with a smile, "Of course, what I hate most are those treacherous villains."

After saying that, Yu Guanzhi and the colonel disappeared completely at the end of the corridor.

"Brother Wang, what brings you here?" Jiang Xiu asked with some confusion after the crisis was over.

Wang Jie pointed inside the room and said, "Let's go inside and talk."

Jiang Xiu nodded slightly and led Wang Jie into the room.

"Haha, it's been years since we last met. I didn't expect you to have grown so much, Xiao Xiu. You've become a man who can stand on his own," Wang Jie said with a laugh as he looked at Jiang Xiu, who was almost as tall as him, after closing the door.

"It really has been a long time," Jiang Xiu said softly. He hadn't seen Wang Jie since he awakened four years ago, but he did today and even helped him out of a predicament.

"Don't worry about this matter; you were just implicated," Wang Jie said carefully after chatting for a few more minutes. "As you Xiao Xiu know, among the Federation's eight legions, apart from the prestigious Sea God Legion, the strongest are our Western Legion and the Central Legion."

Jiang Xiu nodded to indicate that he understood. In the past few years, in addition to cultivation, he had analyzed the various systems of the Federation and the strength and distribution of the major legions more than once.

After a pause, Wang Jie said somewhat solemnly, "Therefore, our Western Legion and Central Legion have frequent frictions, and the next Federation election is in five years. This election is related to which legion, the Western Legion or the Central Legion, can take a step forward. It also means that Yu Guanzhi and the regimental commander will be able to sit in the second-in-command position in the military."

"And Xiao Xiu, you are the Commander's apprentice. After learning about your encounter with this Evil Soul Master, the Commander sent me, who was in the Eastern Legion for exchanges, to come here. As the Commander predicted, Yu Guanzhi really does want to do something."

At this moment, Jiang Xiu finally realized what he was thinking. Yu Guanzhi wanted to use his contact with the Dark Bell to influence his master. In this information age, even rumors have a great influence. Moreover, the Sun Moon Federation is not the feudal empire of ten thousand years ago. The will of the people is extremely important to the Federation.

"This is how it's always been between legions," Jiang Xiu thought to himself, but he also silently remembered this grudge. He was no pushover; he had plenty of strength and means to deal with such matters.

"But you don't need to worry too much. Yu Guanzhi comes from a powerful family, and the power he represents is different from ours. He's probably just acting opportunistically this time. Once he knows your identity, he won't do anything underhanded again. After all, he's a soldier, a soldier who fought against the Abyss." Seeing Jiang Xiu's thoughtful expression, Wang Jie comforted him.

"Okay." Jiang Xiu nodded slightly. Yu Guanzhi was Dove Faction in the Federation, while his master was Hawk Faction.

"By the way, the commander has something to ask you about. When would you like to join our Western Legion, Xiao Xiu?" Wang Jie asked, as if he had just thought of something.

"There's no rush for now, it'll probably be later in the second half of the year," Jiang Xiu said thoughtfully, his eyes flickering.

Because there is a forging competition in the second half of the year, and after this incident, this forging competition is no longer just about what he promised his teacher Zhen Hua.

This East Sea Forging Competition is accompanied by a Soul Master Soul Master Battle, which holds the key to whether he can easily access the Golden Ancient Tree within the Shrek Academy!

He could never Shrek Academy, so whether he could come into contact with the Golden Ancient Tree depended on that one chance.

He wanted to seize that opportunity to stand up and touch the Golden Ancient Tree!
