On the dock, a group of people excitedly watched Qin Chen. These were the higher-ups from the Tian Wu Dan Shop, including Gui Zhen Saint Master, Xing Tianya, Huo Lao, and others. However, Gui Zhen Saint Master and the others were not standing at the forefront of the crowd. Instead, a man with only peak Heavenly Saint cultivation stood at the front.
"Heinu, what are you doing here?"
Qin Chen looked at the man in front of him in surprise. This peak Heavenly Saint expert was actually Heinu.
"Master."
Heinu stepped forward excitedly. As Qin Chen's longest-followed subordinate, Heinu naturally had a very close relationship with Qin Chen. Although Heinu's cultivation had long been outpaced by Qin Chen, he remained one of the high-level members of the Dust Pavilion and one of Qin Chen's most intimate associates.
"Master, we invited Lord Heinu here to Dongguang City to oversee things under your instructions after liaising with the Guanghan Mansion Dust Pavilion."
Xing Tianya and the others smiled and said, "With Senior Heinu overseeing the Tian Wu Dan Shop, we feel much more at ease, and the liaison between the Tian Wu Dan Shop and the Dust Pavilion has become more natural."
"You've been thoughtful."
Qin Chen smiled, clearly understanding that after Gui Zhen Saint Master and the others contacted the Dust Pavilion, they wanted better cooperation and naturally would establish a branch in Dongguang City. With Heinu coming, there was certainly no issue in terms of qualifications.
"Master, besides me, some people from Guanghan Mansion have also come to Dongguang City for development. In terms of the cultivation environment, Dongguang City is much more prosperous compared to Wen Hantian."
Heinu said with a smile.
Dongguang City is a border city in the entire Eastern Heaven Realm, with astonishing cultivation resources, more suitable for enhancing one's strength.
Heinu stepped aside, and two stunningly beautiful women stepped forward, both looking somewhat excited.
"Wei Siqing, Murong Bingyun!"
These two were none other than Wei Siqing and Murong Bingyun. When Qin Chen left Wen Hantian, Wei Siqing and Murong Bingyun had already broken through to the Saint Master realm. Now, after all these years, both of their cultivations had reached the mid-stage Saint Master realm, indicating significant improvements over the years, albeit still far behind Qin Chen and Chen Sisi.
"Qin Chen!"
Wei Siqing bit her lip, looking at Qin Chen with a complex expression, a hint of excitement in her eyes, her eyes slightly moist, yet unable to utter a word.
Murong Bingyun glanced at Qin Chen, also somewhat excited, but upon seeing Qingqiu Ziyi and Qingxue's siblings beside Qin Chen, she snorted coldly.
"Let's go, head back to the Tian Wu Dan Shop first."
Qin Chen smiled, delighted to see some friends upon returning to Dongguang City.
"Are you all just going to leave like this?"
At this moment, a cold voice rang out. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, the sound of breaking air filled the air as a group of enforcers quickly descended, surrounding Qin Chen and the others.
Seeing this group of enforcers, Gui Zhen Saint Master and the others' expressions became somewhat unpleasant. With a cold voice, they said, "Luo Feng, don't stir up trouble."
"Aren't these people from the Tian Wu Dan Shop? We are just enforcing the law, what stirring up trouble?"
The leading enforcer captain sneered, then walked directly to Qin Chen, saying coldly, "That warship earlier should be yours, right? Let me introduce myself. I am the head of the Dongguang City Dock Enforcement Team, surname Luo. Your warship was not reported when entering Dongguang City, so please hand over the warship for inspection. At the same time, please remove your cloaks and Saint Yuan disguises for identity registration."
Qin Chen frowned immediately. What was going on? The Tian Wu Dan Shop's warship in Dongguang City needed inspection?
Normal merchant fleet warships naturally required inspection, but Qin Chen knew that the Tian Wu Dan Shop had developed very well in Dongguang City over the years, with the support of Assistant City Lord Sleeping Immortal. Logically, this should be exempt from inspection.
