Martial Cultivator-Novel

The students by the lake gradually dispersed and Tutor Ceng slowly left. Although he was still reluctant, there was absolutely nothing left to say about today's matter.

He was just wondering if the dean would be somewhat dissatisfied if he knew about this incident.

Thinking up to here, he was in quite a bad mood.

As an army man who also controlled the Divine Capital's Left Guard, Song Lian naturally would not sit in horse carriages normally. But today, since it was the Warden who wanted him to invite Chen Chao over, there had to be some etiquette. Hence, the two boarded the horse carriage by the lake very quickly. After Song Lian sat down, he said straightforwardly, "I didn't tell you the truth about something previously at the lake. I'll have to tell you now."

Chen Chao shook his head and took the initiative to say, "If Commander Song is talking about why the Warden Office didn't do something for me, I know the reason."

Song Lian laughed and said, "Since you know, then I won't say anymore either. But, you have to remember one thing, my warden faction doesn't want spies."

Chen Chao looked at Song Lian with some surprise. He did not expect that he would say something like this.

While Song Lian was incomparably serious as he said solemnly, "There are many double agents in our Great Liang Dynasty. The so-called loyal officials that you see might be thinking about how to topple our Great Liang Dynasty in secret. Places like the Heavenly Imperial Institution, if you unmask one by one, there will probably be god knows how many spies. But, there are two places that can't have even a single spy."

Chen Chao asked, "Which two places?"

Song Lian said calmly, "The northern frontier army and also our Great Liang Dynasty's warden faction."

The northern frontier army battled with demons all year round, guarding the territory of the Great Liang Dynasty. If the spies of foreign land cultivators sneaked into that place, it would be a bad thing for the entire northern frontier. As for the warden faction, they were dispatched everywhere, protecting territory and giving peace to the people. It would naturally be intolerable for foreign cultivators to plant their spies.

Two places, one internal and one external, propped up the Great Liang Dynasty's landscape.

Chen Chao furrowed his brows. Although he felt that it was not too good to say some things at this moment, he still spoke up, "How many local area wardens can really protect territory and keep civilians safe?"

Disregarding the prefecture-level wardens, not all the wardens in a county town were like Chen Chao.

Song Lian glanced at him, he naturally knew what he was implying. But, he just shook his head and did not explain it.

Chen Chao asked, "What kind of person is that Warden?"

There were so many wardens in the Great Liang Dynasty, but only that person was the Warden.

One man, safeguarding Great Liang.

When mentioning that Warden, there was some respect in Song Lian's eyes. He thought about it and said, "Lord Warden is the person worthy of the entire Great Liang's respect."

Chen Chao asked, "Has he accomplished any great deed?"

Song Lian frowned and said with some surprise, "Don't you know?"

Chen Chao said with some difficulty, "Tianqing County that place is so remote, I only know how to kill demons all day long. Even that warden from Commandery Qingshan, I only met him once before."

"What about before that? Kid, even the Warden Office can't uncover your identity. Do you really take Your Father to be a fool?" Song Lian stared at Chen Chao, the look in his eyes unfriendly.

Chen Chao smiled and did not speak.

Song Lian was not in a rush to speak either. The identity of this boy in front of him had indeed already become a secret that many people in the Divine Capital wanted to know now.

It was just that no one knew when this answer could be uncovered.

"Still have to go back to the academy tonight?"

Song Lian looked at Chen Chao and said with a smile, "Can't let it go in the end?"

Chen Chao did not talk, it was unknown what he was thinking about.

Song Lian suddenly said, "Why? Blaming me for what I said at the lake?"

Chen Chao lifted his head and said with a frown, "You said that on purpose?!"

Song Lian smiled and said, "Since you were trying to gain back face with someone at the lake, how can I not give you a helping hand?"

Chen Chao said rather unhappily, "This problem is a little too big."

He finally understood at this moment that this Commander Song in front of him was also someone who was extremely scrupulous.

"A young girl likes a young boy, the young boy likes the young girl, this is the most normal thing in the world to begin with, what's the issue? Even if the two of you don't like each other at this moment yet, the signs are pretty good. You don't need to thank me for lending you a helping hand."

Song Lian had a smug look and was even quite proud.

Chen Chao hesitated for a moment and asked, "Has Commander Song never been liked by girls before?"

Song Lian's expression instantly turned stiff when he heard this. He looked at the boy in front of him, killing intent gradually birthing in his eyes.

Seeing how he looked, Chen Chao already understood and shook his head, "No wonder."

When he spoke, there was a realization that was not quite concealed. Hence, it was even more hurtful.

"What do you mean?" Song Lian pulled a long face.

He did not seem too happy. But, there was some indescribable anticipation in the depths of his eyes.

It was desire.

Chen Chao said, "If Commander Song have been liked by girls before, you'd have been clear that no matter how much a girl likes you, she won't be happy if you publicize this sort of thing everywhere."

Song Lian was stunned and said, "There's such a thing?"

Chen Chao nodded and said, "Of course there is. I see that Commander Song has merely reached middle age. Although no girls liked you before, it's also not too late for you to know now."

Song Lian frowned and said, "You're merely a boy, how do you know these things?"

"Although I'm young, haven't you heard the logic of 'those who attained first can teach?" Chen Chao rolled his eyes.

Song Lian originally wanted to refute him, but he suddenly remembered that even Xie Nandu had some affection for him. He naturally knew that that kind of girl had ambitions loftier than heaven...

Song Lian wanted to speak but swallowed his words back.

Chen Chao looked at him and exposed him with one penetrating remark, "I presume that Commander Song also has a woman that you can't let go of, right?"

Song Lian's old face turned red.

As the commander of the Divine Capital's Left Guard, his status could be called high. But, at many times, love did not have much to do with status.

"She's an old gal?"

Chen Chao raised his brows and looked at Song Lian.

Song Lian retorted seriously, "What old gal? She's the prettiest, most beautiful, gentlest girl in my heart."

Chen Chao held in his laughter and said with a nod, "Right, right, right, I misspoke."

Song Lian paused for a bit and whispered, "Then what should I do?"

This matter had practically become his sore point already. It was also not his first day being troubled over it. Having seemed to encounter a solution today, how could he be willing to let go of the youth in front of him?

The fish was already hooked.

Chen Chao smiled slightly, "How can this sort of thing be very troublesome?"

Song Lian whispered, "Teach me."

Chen Chao laughed coldly in his heart and thought to himself: you still ended up in my hands in the end.

Recalling the events before at the lake, Chen Chao said with a solemn expression, "But, it's also not something that can be explained in a few simple words."

Song Lian said anxiously, "Then tell me in detail."

Chen Chao smiled slightly, "Not that I can't, it's just that you have to pay extra!"
