[System prompt detected: The host has encountered a Boss-level protagonist. The host is reminded to remain low-key and avoid using the Emperor's Cloak to prevent attracting too much suspicion from high-level Bosses...]
"Ugh!"
Su Han was instantly dumbfounded. He never expected the old man before him to possess such formidable combat power. At the same time, perhaps due to his low level, the system was unable to detect the old man's trump cards.
"So he's Jing Tailong... No wonder so many protagonists' trump cards are learned from him! So he's actually a Boss protagonist..."
Su Han was bewildered. This was the first time he had encountered such a powerful opponent!
He just wondered what he was here for today?
"Who is this?" Su Han asked.
As soon as he spoke, Old Man Ye beside him immediately introduced, "Haha, this is a big shot from our Secret Bureau, Elder Jing Tailong. He's the head of a very mysterious organization within the Secret Bureau. Heh heh, he's here to find you this time!"
Su Han was puzzled. He didn't expect Elder Jing to be from the Secret Bureau, and that he was looking for him...
"Mhm, this kid is good! He looks very spirited!"
Elder Jing said very amiably, appearing not as terrifying as his data panel suggested. However, Su Han remained vigilant and merely nodded to greet Elder Jing.
Suddenly.
Ye Qianqian, who was at the door, ran in! As the protagonist of the dark path, her greatest trump card was being Elder Jing's disciple. Moreover, Elder Jing doted on her immensely, which was the biggest secret of Ye Qianqian's dark protagonist status.
Upon entering, Ye Qianqian immediately said, "Master, didn't you say before you came that you would teach this kid a lesson? Look, he's already back. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and teach him a lesson. I think the courtyard outside is good enough for you to spar!"
Gulp.
Su Han was stunned. Elder Jing's combat power was close to 400 points, while his own was 160 points! Even with the Emperor's Cloak and the assistance of several other secret treasures, there was still a slight gap between him and the old man.
Furthermore, the system had just warned him not to use the Emperor's Cloak in front of the old man to avoid unnecessary trouble!
Therefore, Su Han knew that he was no match for Elder Jing at the moment!
As expected!
Elder Jing waved his hand dismissively. In his opinion, sparring with a junior was too demeaning. Since there was nothing else to do, he also wanted to guide his disciple's skills. Thus, he said to Ye Qianqian,
"Qianqian, you fight this kid first. If you lose, I'll give you a few pointers, and I guarantee you can beat him. Is that acceptable?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Qianqian on the side became overjoyed!
Seeing Su Han already taking a stance, ready to duel him...
"Uh, Ye Qianqian! Are you sure you want to fight me, just because I refused to marry you?" Su Han directly exposed Ye Qianqian's motive.
Instantly, Ye Qianqian's face turned bright red!
However, having cultivated on the mountain for ten years, she was straightforward. Although she felt a bit embarrassed, she still admitted it decisively.
"Yes, Su Han, I want to beat you and then have you marry me! What, are you scared?" Ye Qianqian said directly.
The old men on the side were all laughing heartily. In their eyes, Ye Qianqian was showing her true feelings, while Su Han was being unappreciative.
Soon, the two of them went into the courtyard together.
After taking their stances, Elder Jing immediately gave Ye Qianqian some instructions. Then, he sat on a chair in the courtyard and watched with the others!
It was evident that Elder Jing's visit this time was also intended to test Su Han. After carefully observing him, he was very satisfied with Su Han's appearance!
"Little Ye, you said Qianqian is really something. As soon as she came down the mountain, she started looking for a son-in-law. At first, I didn't know what was going on, but now it seems her taste is pretty good. At least this kid is about as handsome as I was when I was young. As for other aspects, I don't know if he's as capable as I am, hahaha..."
Jing Tailong, who was known for cherishing talent, laughed heartily. This was also one of the reasons he had so many disciples.
And upon seeing Su Han, he naturally felt that this kid had many extraordinary qualities!
Old Man Ye chuckled and said, "You didn't see it at my place last time. That old Teng was almost crippled by this kid, hahaha! I almost died laughing at the situation back then! If Qianqian could be with him, I wouldn't object to her dating early. Ah, this time, I also wanted Elder Jing to give his approval!"
As the two exchanged pleasantries, they saw that Ye Qianqian on the field had already made her move!
After Elder Jing's guidance, Ye Qianqian adopted a fierce offensive strategy. Her initial three moves were particularly ferocious!
First, she unleashed a series of palm strikes, followed by a somersault that sent her kicking towards Su Han's face. Her movements were graceful and agile, very pleasing to the eye.
But alas!
There was still a significant gap between her speed and Su Han's!
Su Han found an opening, stepped forward, and blocked. He then lifted Ye Qianqian into the air and gently pushed her, causing her to fall to the ground.
"You... you're cheating! My move wasn't finished!"
Ye Qianqian cried out in protest, never expecting to be knocked down by Su Han before she could even complete her attack. She felt a surge of grievance and was on the verge of tears.
From a distance, Jing Tailong, who was sipping tea, was slightly surprised by this scene!
Looking at Su Han, he exclaimed in amazement, "Hiss... this kid is quite something. Qianqian has been practicing with me for many years, and she's actually inferior to him?"
Elder Jing sighed. Although Ye Qianqian's talent was average, she was still his disciple who had studied under him for ten years!
And she was subdued by this kid in one move!
Elder Jing's face instantly lost some of its composure...
"Ahem, Qianqian, perhaps we should call it a day?"
Ye Qianqian, lying on the ground, immediately refused sternly, "Hmph, Master, you must act today! This kid has already hit me twice. You must teach him a lesson!"
Jing Tailong hesitated. Fighting with such a junior was not his usual style.
However, at this moment.
Unable to withstand Ye Qianqian's strong insistence, he reluctantly stood up and said to Su Han, "Young man, it just so happens that I came to find you today. Let's have a small spar, consider it my interview with you. What do you say?"
Interview?
Su Han was instantly shocked. He remembered Old Man Ye saying that Jing Tailong was from the Secret Bureau and was the head of a very mysterious department. However, Su Han didn't expect him to come looking for him.
As quick as lightning.
Just as Su Han was about to refuse, he suddenly saw faint flames igniting in Jing Tailong's hand. wisps of heat gathered in front of his palm.
