After bidding farewell to Jun Wuchen, Chen Ao began to introduce Uncle Guang and Uncle Liang to them on the way.
"You are very fortunate. Uncle Guang and Uncle Liang are considered two of the most outstanding spiritual practitioners in our Capital Spirit Hunting Guild. Individually, their strength might not be great, but these two old men grew up together, their abilities complement each other, and with years of tacit understanding, their coordinated combat is truly invincible."
As he spoke, he made a few rather chuunibyo-like gestures.
In Duan Chen's heart, his curiosity about these two people grew.
Training Hall.
Since the matter of exchange and learning was personally proposed by Geng Weibin, Jun Wuchen gave him some face and allocated a small training venue specifically for Duan Chen and his group.
It had to be said that Jun Wuchen's handling of superficial matters was impeccable.
Firstly, it showcased the magnanimity of his Capital Spirit Hunting Guild, and secondly, it revealed his style of dealing with people.
This person was a strategist.
Duan Chen always spoke plainly and truthfully. Although he stood opposite Jun Wuchen, a simple exchange and learning could expose his methods.
Duan Chen's heart turned cold, filled with apprehension.
"Brother Bai, don't stare blankly, those are Uncle Guang and Uncle Liang."
Chen Ao frowned and patted his shoulder.
Inside the training hall, two old men stood facing each other, seemingly discussing something.
[Indeed, they are Jun Youguang and Qin Youliang.]
[Restrain your habitual movements, even your words and actions, pay attention. Especially you, Qin Nanyuan.]
The two elders' teaching of them was a matter of childhood. Moreover, Jun Ci always maintained a poker face in front of outsiders. Now, as a woman, and being very reserved, it was likely that the two elders would rack their brains and still not recognize her.
Qin Nanyuan was different. This body had not undergone significant changes by Xier. If her habitual words, actions, and movements were added, it would be extremely easy to be recognized.
[I know.]
As the matter was of great importance, Qin Nanyuan dared not be careless. She took a deep breath and adjusted her expression.
[Very good.]
In the distance, the two old men clearly noticed them as well. They exchanged glances and walked over with slow steps.
"Uncle Guang, Uncle Liang."
Chen Ao slightly bowed, his tone respectful.
The two old men, one in front and one behind, looked to be in their fifties or sixties. The one in front was bald, stout, with a deep scar on his face, appearing fierce and scanning them with a frown.
The old man behind him had ordinary short hair, a lean build, and his hands clasped behind his back. He smiled heartily, appearing benevolent and kind like a smiling Buddha.
The胖 one was Jun Youguang, the thin one was Qin Youliang.
"This is Xier, a top physician, and Du Qingyi, Chief Senior Agent of the Ice City Spirit Hunting Guild."
Chen Ao knew the order and introduced them one by one to the two elders.
"No need to mention her, I've met this girl before, she operated on me once," Jun Youguang looked at Xier, his expression softening slightly.
[Your scope of practice is that wide?]
[I don't remember.]
Xier had treated too many patients. It was evident she was trying hard to recall, but unfortunately, she still couldn't remember.
Duan Chen couldn't help but chuckle.
"This..."
Qin Youliang looked at Qin Nanyuan and narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing her.
"Hello, Uncle Liang."
Qin Nanyuan smiled charmingly, her smile bright and captivating. Her self-introduction was graceful and impressive, making a striking impression.
"So well-behaved, I feel an affinity with you."
Qin Youliang's eyes crinkled into slits as he smiled.
[This old man said this to me when he was teaching me before.]
"You are..."
Jun Youguang looked at Duan Chen, his eyes shining brightly.
"Hello, Uncle Guang. My surname is Bai, and my name is Bai Se."
Duan Chen was neither servile nor overbearing, and he shook his hand.
Jun Youguang grinned.
"You few do not seem like people from a small, backwater place like Ice City. You resemble the young masters from some prominent families."
Upon hearing this, a jolt went through their hearts.
Chen Ao, however, did not think much of it. He chuckled. He knew the temperaments of these two old men. If they didn't approve, they wouldn't teach at all. Fortunately, they had a high opinion of Duan Chen and the others.
Duan Chen felt quite uneasy.
Chen Ao might be foolish, but Jun Wuchen was not.
If Chen Ao were not standing here today, but Jun Wuchen, or if Chen Ao had relayed what these two old men said to Jun Wuchen, the latter would surely become suspicious.
Jun Wuchen was extremely wary of everything.
Fortunately, Chen Ao's next words greatly reassured him.
"Then I'll be leaving. Uncle Guang, Uncle Liang, I'll trouble you."
"Go on, go on."
Unexpectedly, after Chen Ao left, the two old men's expressions changed drastically.
A fierce glint appeared in Jun Youguang's eyes as he coldly stared at Duan Chen and the others.
"What benefits did you give Jun Wuchen?"
This question stunned everyone.
"What benefits?" Yuan Yuan looked dazed. This made Jun Youguang, who had intended to reprimand them, feel a little embarrassed. He frowned and looked at Qin Youliang behind him.
The latter chuckled, but there was something else mixed into his laughter.
"We are old bones, and we haven't taught young people for a long time. We were also surprised when we received the order."
"Oh?"
"In short, if Jun Wuchen didn't give you any benefits but asked us to teach you, then you should be careful. Perhaps that guy is hatching some malicious scheme."
Jun Youguang chuckled slyly, his smile full of ill intent.
Duan Chen's unease grew heavier.
What was going on?
It should have been foolproof.
Logically, Jun Wuchen shouldn't have become suspicious.
Or were these two old fellows just trying to scare them?
Qin Youliang completely withdrew his smile and said calmly, "Jun Wuchen is not a good person. I advise you to be cautious. If something goes wrong, we cannot guarantee your safety."
Duan Chen's brow furrowed even deeper.
It was impossible to be discovered, he was absolutely certain.
If their true identities were exposed, Jun Wuchen could have killed them with a legitimate reason. There was no need to go through such trouble, even asking Jun Youguang and Qin Youliang to teach them.
This was completely unnecessary.
But if it wasn't for this reason, then why were they targeted by Jun Wuchen?
[Relax, Jun Wuchen absolutely doesn't know about your matters.]
Du Qingyi chewed on candy with a poker face, saying calmly.
[How do you know... Did you read Jun Wuchen's mind?]
Duan Chen admired her boldness.
[Yes, but I can only read a little. His memories seem to be sealed by some energy. The situation is somewhat similar to Sun Xiaoxiao and the others. The difference is, Jun Wuchen knew about that part of his memory, while Sun Xiaoxiao and the others didn't know their memories were sealed.]
[Are you saying Jun Wuchen is colluding with the Apostles?]
