Chapter 567: Chapter 0569: Delivering Wine [Part 1]

The General Captain arrived, and Huang Lan got up to greet him, but neither Chu Feng nor Zhang Shisan showed any intention of standing up.

Zhang Shisan did not need to, as a first-rank Tributor, he was entitled not to stand up for anyone. That was the privilege of a first-rank Tributor.

As for Chu Feng, although he was not a first-rank Tributor, he was still an Earth Level Expert. Moreover, Chu Feng harbored resentment in his heart; it would be strange if he did bother to get up.

"I hope I haven’t disturbed you?" the General Captain said with a smile as he began.

"If I said you’re disturbing me, would you leave right now?" Chu Feng retorted without a trace of amiability.

Huang Lan did not expect Chu Feng to adopt such an attitude toward the General Captain and repeatedly gave Chu Feng meaningful glances. After all, the General Captain’s status was something that made many wary. However, Chu Feng pretended not to notice and remained as he was.

"Then let’s just assume I haven’t disturbed you," the General Captain said, ignoring Chu Feng’s sarcasm, and directly pulled over a chair to sit down.

The General Captain’s kind face and gentle demeanor made him look less like the leader of Dragon Soul and more like a benign elder.

In fact, Chu Feng was somewhat surprised by the arrival of Dragon Soul’s General Captain. He also did not know whether the General Captain came as a friend or foe this time.

"Don’t harbor any hostility towards me; we three are all Earth Level Experts. If you and your student joined forces, I might not be a match for you," the General Captain said with a smile.

Chu Feng rolled his eyes and said, "Am I supposed to take that as a brag?"

The General Captain looked at Zhang Shisan and said, "Tributor Zhang, you truly have taken on a good student. If you’re willing, the agreement between us still stands."

Zhang Shisan answered, "I’ve lost all interest in it."

The General Captain turned to Chu Feng and said, "Kid, I can agree to all the demands you make today. The people who’ve been detained can be returned to you; you can have whatever you want. But you must also agree to one of my requests."

Chu Feng retorted, "I’m not daring enough for murder or arson."

The General Captain chuckled and asked, "Do I look like the type to break the law knowing the law?"

Chu Feng looked him up and down and responded, "If we’re going by appearances, you certainly don’t seem the type, but nowadays those who break the law knowing the law all tend to have your kind of looks. If you ask me to judge by appearance, I wouldn’t know where to start."

The General Captain laughed heartily and said, "Everyone says you lack the awareness of an Earth Level Expert, and it seems they’re absolutely right. Many think that if someone like you became a first-rank Tributor, it would be a disaster for Dragon Soul. However, I believe that having someone like you among Dragon Soul’s first-rank Tributors is actually a blessing for us."

Chu Feng looked at the General Captain and asked, "The demand you’re speaking of, is it for me to become a first-rank Tributor of Dragon Soul?"

The General Captain responded, "Is that my only request?"

Chu Feng shook his head vigorously and said, "Sorry, I cannot agree to that."

The General Captain looked at Chu Feng, puzzled, and asked, "Why? Becoming a first-rank Tributor of Dragon Soul would give you several times what you have now."

Chu Feng inquired, "As a first-rank Tributor, to whom would I be responsible?"

The General Captain replied, "You would only need to be accountable to me."

Chu Feng remarked, "And there lies the crux of the issue. If you were a beauty even more gorgeous than her, I truly wouldn’t mind at all. But the key point is you’re not. Do you think my feelings would be the same answering to an old man as they would to a beauty? If it were you, I bet your feelings wouldn’t be the same either."

Chu Feng’s relentless bickering left the General Captain speechless and touched Huang Lan somewhat.

After a pause, Chu Feng continued, "And don’t take me for a fool either; I might act foolishly at times, but that doesn’t mean I am a fool. You want me to join the first-rank Tributors to create a stimulating effect, pushing everyone to train harder.

The intention behind it is indeed perfect, leaving me without any words to refute. But elder, have you considered how that would make me the thorn in everyone’s side, the proverbial ’meat on the cutting board’? How many will be plotting my demise, and what kind of life would I have to face every day? Have you thought about that for me?"

"..."

Chu Feng’s reasoning also left people perfectly unable to refute.

After pondering for a while, the General Captain said, "I understand what you mean. You can continue to stay in Squad Seven. But I also hope that you can always stay there."

Chu Feng responded, "That’s not certain; what if one day she becomes the Vice Captain? We can also move together then, right?"

Huang Lan was moved that Chu Feng would take this opportunity to ask for a promotion on her behalf.

The General Captain laughed affably and said, "Huang Lan is one of our best agents here; I’ll take your opinion into account. The person you’re asking for, I’ll have them released right away."

Chu Feng added, "Wait a moment, I want to ask for one more person."

The General Captain inquired, "Who?"

Chu Feng stated, "Professor Edward. He came here under my protection, so it’s my responsibility to ensure his safety."

The General Captain fell silent upon hearing what Chu Feng said, clearly understanding the underlying message in Chu Feng’s words.

In the end, the General Captain nodded in agreement and said, "You can take Edward with you too. But there’s one thing I want to tell you: Dragon Soul is the soul of the Sea Hua nation, and there are parasites inside the Dragon Soul. We only need to eliminate these parasites, but we cannot use insecticides because that might also harm the healthy parts. So we can only remove the parasites manually."

Chu Feng jokingly said, "Old comrade, why are you looking at me like that? Are you asking me to remove these parasites manually? I’m really scared of bugs, especially those smaller than five centimeters."

The General Captain smiled knowingly and said, "Don’t worry, the ’bugs’ we have here are all larger than five centimeters."

After finishing his words, the General Captain stood up and remarked, "My presence here isn’t making your meal any more pleasant, so I should leave."

Having not walked far, the General Captain turned his head and said, "Oh, right. Elder Huang asked you to deliver some wine to him; he mentioned that his wine is with you."

Chu Feng acknowledged, "I know about that, I will deliver it to Elder Huang later."

Once the General Captain left, Huang Lan’s eyes widened in astonishment and she asked, "How do you even have a connection with Elder Huang?"

In the Four-Nine City, aside from him, who else would dare to address the man the General Captain called Elder Huang so directly?

Chu Feng replied, "It’s a bit complicated to explain, but I really need to step out for a moment now. If anyone comes to be an apprentice, tell them I’m gone."

Ever since Chu Feng stepped off the arena, many had come seeking to become his apprentices. But Chu Feng wasn’t in the mood for such things, so he had turned them all away. However, it wasn’t ideal to keep doing so, and now that he had the chance to leave, Chu Feng wasn’t going to let it pass by.
