Martial Master

Not long after, President Dongfang personally summoned him.

Xu Chang, the steward, walked cautiously into the president's office, feeling anxious.

Inside the office, besides President Dongfang, Li Wenyu was also present, standing to the side.

Seeing this, Xu Chang felt a twinge of envy.

In the entire Bloodline Sacred Land, there were quite a few second-tier bloodline masters holding steward positions, but Li Wenyu was the most special among them, deeply favored by President Dongfang Qing.

It could be said that in the entire Bloodline Sacred Land, the only person who could see President Dongfang Qing without prior notice was Li Wenyu, who was a trusted aide of the president.

Just as he was thinking, a loud bang suddenly interrupted Xu Chang's thoughts.

Bang!

With a forceful slap on the table, Dongfang Qing's expression darkened. "Xu Chang, what exactly is going on here?"

After hearing the news from Xu Chang, Dongfang Qing was filled with rage.

Since obtaining that new type of bloodline instrument from his superiors, Dongfang Qing had been researching its functions. With the method of activating the eighteen-level power passed down by Qin Chen, in just a few months, Dongfang Qing had clearly felt a slight improvement in his stagnant bloodline master cultivation, which excited him immensely.

Although it was just a small improvement, for someone like Dongfang Qing at his level, any slight enhancement held immense significance.

As he researched the new type of bloodline instrument, Dongfang Qing also developed some doubts and thoughts about its operation. These days, he had been looking for an opportunity to seek out Qin Chen for advice, but then such an incident occurred.

Dongfang Qing was so furious that he almost flew into a rage.

Who gave Duan Yue the courage to act recklessly in the Alchemy Pavilion and even offend Qin Chen?

With a dark expression, Dongfang Qing was filled with fury after hearing Xu Chang's words. "Does he think that just because he is a bloodline master, he can do whatever he wants?"

Xu Chang felt awkward and didn't know how to respond, feeling extremely frustrated.

Usually, President Dongfang Qing was very protective of his own. Whenever a bloodline master from the Sacred Land got into trouble, regardless of right or wrong, he would definitely scold the other party severely first; whether it was his side's fault or not, he wouldn't care at all.

But this time—

"And you, Xu Chang, who gave you the courage to stand up? Duan Yue made a mistake, and you actually spoke up for him, even using the authority of the Bloodline Sacred Land to suppress others? Is this how you solve problems? The reputation of our Bloodline Sacred Land is being tarnished by people like you!"

Pointing at Xu Chang, Dongfang Qing was even more enraged.

Duan Yue offended Qin Chen and got punished by the Alchemy Pavilion. What did you hope to achieve by stepping in? You only complicated matters further.

"I—"

Xu Chang looked wronged. Usually, whenever something happened, he would say he would step up to maintain the dignity of the Bloodline Sacred Land. This time, I stepped up, and yet you scold me instead.

Xu Chang thought this in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak, only nodding repeatedly to show he was in the wrong.

"Alright, since the incident has occurred, there's no point in dwelling on it. Li Wenyu, you take Xu Chang to the Alchemy Pavilion immediately, handle this matter well, and make sure it’s resolved smoothly. We cannot let Qin Chen have any dissatisfaction," Dongfang Qing instructed.

"Understood." Li Wenyu nodded. "I will handle it right away."

He turned to leave.

"Forget it, I'll go myself."

After thinking for a moment, Dongfang Qing felt it was inappropriate and stood up.

"President, you—"

Xu Chang almost fell over in shock.

What’s going on? Does it really require the president to intervene personally? Even the current emperor of the Great Qi Nation probably wouldn’t have this kind of face.

Who exactly is Qin Chen?

Shocked in his heart, Xu Chang finally realized the magnitude of the trouble he had caused.
