This child is terrifying, he must not be kept alive!
This was the thought in the minds of Guan Ye and Cui Hua. They hadn't expected that in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Gu Yuan would have successfully compressed the first strand of blood qi.
Judging by its quality, it was no different from theirs.
Gu Yuan, why are you so awesome?
Seeing the two staring with wide eyes, Gu Yuan shrugged. It couldn't be helped, being too outstanding was also a kind of trouble.
Cui Hua fell into contemplation. How long had it taken him to successfully compress the first strand of blood qi?
It seemed to be a little over the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. At that time, that result was still the best. Even Guan Ye beside him wasn't as good as him. He hadn't expected this Gu Yuan to be better than himself.
How could this allow him to show off? Damn genius.
Guan Ye also fell into thought, but his thoughts were different from Cui Hua's.
He was wondering, with Gu Yuan's high martial arts talent, why would he come to be a patrol demon envoy? If he were to lose his life in an accident during a mission, wouldn't Da Gan lose a Marquis-level, or even a King-level, guardian envoy?
No, Guan Ye felt that such a genius should not join the dangerous patrol demon envoy, and even join two teams at once. This made an already dangerous mission even more unpredictable.
He had to report this to the Division Head and also ask if Gu Yuan could withdraw from the patrol demon envoy.
After all, such a genius was rare in the entire Da Gan. It would be truly heartbreaking if he died on a dangerous mission.
Thinking of this, Guan Ye smiled and said, "Gu Yuan, you have now successfully mastered this technique. The rest is up to you. If there's anything you don't know, you can always ask me or Cui Hua. If there are any missions, I will send someone to notify you. Just be prepared."
Gu Yuan nodded upon hearing this, "Okay, Captain Guan, then I'll go home first."
"Go ahead," Guan Ye said with a smile.
Gu Yuan clasped his fists, bowed, and turned to leave the training ground.
"Sigh..." Cui Hua wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Guan Ye.
After Gu Yuan was far away, Guan Ye released his grip on Cui Hua.
Cui Hua turned, his face filled with confusion, and asked, "Why did you stop me? I haven't even spoken a few words to Gu Yuan yet."
Guan Ye smiled and said, "I know you're annoyed, but don't be annoyed yet, listen to me first."
Cui Hua looked confused and ignored Guan Ye.
Guan Ye took a deep breath and asked Cui Hua, "What do you think of Gu Yuan's talent?"
Cui Hua frowned, "Isn't it obvious? Gu Yuan's talent is better than both of ours. He is arguably the most talented demon envoy I have seen in recent years."
"Have you ever considered that Gu Yuan might lose his young life in a mission as a patrol demon envoy, causing Da Gan to lose a Marquis-level guardian envoy, or even a King-level guardian envoy?"
"Ah, I really hadn't thought of that." Cui Hua scratched his head. He really hadn't considered this just now.
After Guan Ye mentioned it, he also realized that Gu Yuan's talent was so good, and the current situation was so severe. If Gu Yuan lost his life in a mission, wouldn't it be too regrettable?
Instead, by joining the regular demon envoy and following normal missions, Gu Yuan would most likely not encounter any accidents. He might even become a Marquis-level or King-level guardian envoy in the future.
Cui Hua frowned and looked at Guan Ye, "Then what do you mean?"
"My meaning is, let's find the Division Head and ask him to change Gu Yuan to a demon envoy, away from the position of patrol demon envoy. What do you think?" Guan Ye pondered for a moment, then stated his idea.
"Hmm... I think it's feasible. It's indeed too regrettable. Let's go find the Division Head now." Cui Hua pondered Guan Ye's words and indeed, it made sense.
If Gu Yuan lost his life in a dangerous mission, it would indeed be a great pity.
"Let's go. The Division Head should still be in the Demon Suppression Division Hall."
Guan Ye directly pulled Cui Hua and headed straight for the Demon Suppression Division Hall.
A few minutes later, the two arrived at the Demon Suppression Division Hall and met Jiang Yuyang.
Jiang Yuyang looked helpless, "I already gave Gu Yuan to you guys, why are you back?"
Guan Ye and Cui Hua exchanged glances, nodded, and Guan Ye stepped forward, cupped his fists, and said, "Division Head, Cui Hua and I have a request."
Upon hearing Guan Ye's words, Jiang Yuyang became curious. What request did these two have now? "Speak, what is it?"
Guan Ye took a deep breath and explained his thoughts to Jiang Yuyang, "I think Gu Yuan should be a demon envoy, not a patrol demon envoy."
"Why?"
"Just now, we both taught Gu Yuan the technique of compressing blood qi in the Blood Qi Realm. Division Head, guess how long Gu Yuan took to comprehend it."
Jiang Yuyang stroked his beard with his finger, his brows furrowed slightly, and he guessed uncertainly, "The time it takes for an incense stick to burn?"
Guan Ye shook his head and slowly stated Gu Yuan's achievement, "Gu Yuan comprehended the method of compressing blood qi in less than half the time it takes to drink a cup of tea."
Bang!
"What did you say?" Jiang Yuyang slammed the armrest of his chair, saying with shock.
He couldn't quite believe it. He had taken a full teacup's worth of time back then, and this Gu Yuan had actually taken less than half the time.
Doesn't this prove that Gu Yuan's talent is even higher than his own?
"Then how long did he take to compress the first strand of blood qi?" Jiang Yuyang slowly sat down, his brow furrowed, and asked Guan Ye.
"Probably even less, because he only listened to Cui Hua's method once, and then compressed the blood qi successfully in less than a stick of incense."
Guan Ye spoke again, still shocked. This Gu Yuan was truly exceptionally talented.
"What do you mean? Do you want Gu Yuan to return to being a regular demon envoy?" Jiang Yuyang accepted the fact that Gu Yuan's talent was higher than his own and wanted to know Guan Ye and Cui Hua's intentions.
"This is what we both think: it would be too regrettable if Gu Yuan lost his life in a mission. By becoming a normal demon envoy and following regular missions, Gu Yuan would most likely not encounter any accidents. He might even become a Marquis-level or King-level guardian envoy in the future." Guan Ye truthfully stated his thoughts.
"We came here wanting you, Division Head, to change him to a regular demon envoy." Guan Ye looked at Jiang Yuyang with sincerity.
Jiang Yuyang looked at the two below and sighed.
After a long while, he slowly said, "I understand what you mean. You want Da Gan to have another King-level guardian envoy. But you have to ask Gu Yuan himself. This is not something I can decide."
"Tomorrow, when Gu Yuan comes, I will call him over, and you can ask him personally. If he agrees, I will make the change. How about that?"
After speaking, he looked at the two below.
Guan Ye and Cui Hua exchanged glances and had no choice but to agree.
Meanwhile, Gu Yuan, at home, was unaware that the top three figures in the Demon Suppression Division were discussing his future...
