After Shen Fei listened, he glanced at Su Ming. Su Ming scratched the back of his head, chuckled, and did not refute. Shen Fei asked him, "What's going on? Your cultivation level has reached Gold Rank 1-Star. You can lead a team on a mission. Normal Demon Beast can't hurt you."
Su Ming stopped laughing and explained the situation. Two days ago, he took his team to patrol the northern periphery. When he walked near an old river channel, he bumped into a Gold Rank 3-Star's Shadow Leopard.
The beast hid behind the slope of the river and waited until they were halfway across before pounced out. Su Ming reacted quickly and pushed the two team members in front away, and took the first hit from Shadow Leopard himself.
That's when his left arm was bitten. Later, he led his team to retreat while fighting, and led Shadow Leopard into a narrow ditch. The five of them worked together for nearly half an hour before killing the beast.
He received two blows on his body, while the rest of the team only suffered minor injuries and no one was injured.
After listening, Shen Fei nodded. "You handled it right. If five people can come back alive against one Gold Rank 3-Star and Shadow Leopard, you have done a good job leading the team."
Su Ming's ears were a little red after being praised, and he still said, "Actually, it's just good luck. The place is so narrow that Shadow Leopard can't use it."
Shen Fei stood up from the stool, patted Su Ming's uninjured shoulder, and said in a calm tone, "I'll have someone send Elixir over later, and you can recover well. I'm here this time, and I have something to explain to you."
Su Ming was half leaning on the head of the bed. When he heard this, he put the booklet in his hand on the bed and straightened his waist unconsciously.
He had been dealing with Shen Fei for more than a day or two. He knew that the calmer the Big Brother Shen spoke, the more important the matter was. He nodded, did not speak in a hurry, and waited for Shen Fei to continue.
Shen Fei stood by the bed, glanced at Su Ming's hanging left arm and the bandage on his back, and said, "Nie Li and I are leaving Glory City for a trip. Well, it will probably be a long time, at least a year, at most a few years."
Su Ming was stunned for a moment. The first reaction in his mind was not to ask where he was going or what he was going to do, but he immediately thought of City Defense from Glory City.
Shen Fei and Nie Li, one is the head of the Sacred Family, and the other is the core figure of the City Lord's Mansion. All the changes in Glory City over the past year are closely related to them.
Beast Tide relied on Nie Li's Ten Thousand Demons and Spirits Array and advance defense. It was Shen Fei who found out Dark Guild's nails. Even the improvement of City Guard's combat power and the advancement path of civilian monks were pushed by these two people.
If they leave, Glory City's apparent combat power will not suddenly collapse, but that backbone will be empty.
Although Su Ming is young, after spending these days in City Guard and personally leading a team of people, he can see some things clearly.
He raised his eyes and looked at Shen Fei, and his tone was a little deeper than usual. "Don't worry Big Brother Shen, I will protect Glory City before you come back."
He didn't ask Shen Fei where he was going, how long he was going, or what he was going to do. It wasn't that he wasn't curious, but he knew it well. Shen Fei would definitely tell him what he could tell him; if he couldn't tell him, asking would be in vain.
What's more, his Su Ming life, this cultivation level, and this position as captain were all given to him by Shen Fei.
When he was pushed to the ground by a nobleman in the alley, he didn't even have the courage to fight back. It was Shen Fei who woke him up with a few words, and gave him a Elixir, a book of exercises, and a quota of the Mercenary Association.
Later, when he came back from Dark Forest, Shen Fei gave him Scarlet Plume Eagle Demon Spirit, Gold Rank Demon Spirit, and VIP tokens. What he could do was to take good care of Glory City so that Shen Fei would not have to worry about home when he was outside.
After listening, Shen Fei nodded without saying anything more. He stretched out his hand and touched Space Ring, and there was an extra token in his palm.
The token is larger than the VIP token given to Su Ming before. It is made of dark gold alloy and has smooth edges. The family emblem of the Sacred Family is engraved on the front. There is a line of small characters below the family emblem, and the four words "Execution Elder" are engraved on the back. The font is square and the strokes are very deep.
Shen Fei handed the token to Su Ming and said calmly, "This is the token for the Sacred Family to execute Elder. With this token, you can directly mobilize strong people above Sacred Family Black Gold Rank."
Su Ming used his uninjured hand to catch the token. The token was heavy in his hand, with its dark golden surface sticking to the palm of his hand, giving it a metallic coolness.
He lowered his head and glanced at the four words on the back, and rubbed his fingers on "Execute Elder". When he raised his head, his eyes were steady, and he did not refuse, nor did he say any polite words such as "I can't afford it."
He put the token into his arms and placed it close to his chest, then looked at Shen Fei, his voice was not loud, but every word was spoken clearly. "Don't worry, brother, I won't let you down."
Shen Fei hummed and said nothing more. He turned around and walked towards the door of the ward. Xiao Ning'er had been standing beside him silently, and then he also turned around.
When he walked to the door, Shen Fei paused, turned half of his body, and added, "Keep an eye on that kid Shen Yue, don't let him do anything wrong."
Su Ming leaned on the head of the bed and responded, "I know."
The tone was very straightforward, and he didn't ask any more questions about why. He had heard some things about Shen Fei and Shen Yue, and had seen some with his own eyes. Since Shen Fei had told him this, he would do it.
Shen Fei waved his hand and walked out of the ward without looking back.
Xiao Ning'er followed him, and the two of them walked through the courtyard of the military medical center one after another. The soldier who led the way was still guarding the entrance of the courtyard. When he saw them coming out, he stood up straight.
Shen Fei nodded to him, the soldier saluted, turned around and ran back in the direction of City Guard's station to resume his life.
The two walked north along the base of the city wall. Shen Fei had walked this stretch of road many times. From the south city wall to the main street, and from the main street to the mansions of various aristocratic families, he could clearly see it with his eyes closed.
City Wall The gravel under the roots is heated by the sun during the day, and you can feel a warm sensation on the soles of your feet when you step on it.
The wind blows from outside City Wall, carrying the smell of hay in the wilderness outside the city and the water vapor from the moat in the distance. It's not cold, but it's not stuffy either.
After walking for about a hundred steps, Xiao Ning'er spoke up and asked, "If I leave it to Su Ming like this, won't it put a lot of pressure on him?"
Shen Fei didn't stop, his eyes fell on the stone road ahead that was whitened by the sun, and his tone was very calm. "There is no way, he must withstand this wave of pressure."
Xiao Ning'er glanced sideways at him, waiting for him to continue.
