Meeting Ling Hong Chen again

After finalizing their plan, Le Zhengen, Yun Ming, and Yali still had many questions about artificial soul rings and soul bones, but they knew that Anping had given them to Leng Yaozhu as a gift, so they refrained from asking more and bid farewell to each other. They then proceeded to take action.

Anping also contacted Ling Hongchen and arranged to meet him at Sun Moon Academy. The reason he chose this location instead of Skysea City or the City of Miracles was that he intended to bring Xu Xiaoyan's family and Lin Qing with him to the City of Miracles.

They had originally been sent to Mingdu to avoid being discovered by the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy. Now that the City of Miracles was on the right track, it was time to bring them over.

Anping knew that Xu Xiaoyan had been missing her parents and brother a lot lately, so he wanted to use this opportunity to reunite them. After sending off Le Zhengen, Yun Ming, and Yali, Anping and Gu Yuena left the City of Miracles with Mr. Xiong and Bi Ji.

However, they did not take Xu Xiaoyan and Le Zhengyu with them to Mingdu this time. On one hand, they were not going there for fun. On the other hand, they also wanted to train hard and prepare for the federal competition.

Besides training, they also had to work as teachers in a school that was just getting started. Moreover, they also had to find teammates who could join them in the federal competition.

In Ling Hongchen's office, he saw Anping, Gu Yuena, Xiong Jun, and Bi Ji appear out of thin air. Although Anping had informed him in advance, he was still stunned by this sight.

He knew that Anping and Gu Yuena had spatial abilities, but he was still amazed by how they could teleport directly from Skysea City to Mingdu. He was aware that the current federation could not achieve this even with the help of soul guides, but Anping had done it on his own.

However, Ling Hongchen was the dean of Sun Moon Academy after all, so he quickly recovered from his shock and led the four of them to sit on the sofa.

After they settled down, Ling Hongchen sighed as he brewed some tea: "If I hadn't witnessed your growth from step to step to where you are today, I would find it hard to believe that you are not even sixteen years old yet. Tell me, what do you want from me? You must have something in mind, right?"

Ling Hongchen did not inquire about the secrets of Anping and Gu Yuena, but directly asked them about their purpose of visiting him. On one hand, he was the dean of Sun Moon Academy after all, so he had some idea of what they were up to.

On the other hand, Ling Hongchen felt that he knew them well enough and trusted that they would not ask him to do anything inappropriate.

Hearing Ling Hongchen cut to the chase, Anping did not beat around the bush and said frankly: "Dean Hongchen, Nana and I came here for two main reasons this time. The first one is to invite the Hongchen family to join us in the City of Miracles."

Hongchen was not surprised by this. The recent disappearance of the Southern Legion and the defection of Yun Ming and Yali from Shrek Academy had caused quite a sensation.

Ling Hongchen pondered for a moment and said: "Let's put that aside for now. I'm more curious about how you persuaded Yun Ming and Yali to betray Shrek Academy. Based on my understanding of Yun Ming, getting him to turn his back on Shrek Academy is no easy feat."

Ling Hongchen's question caught Anping off guard. He had expected Ling Hongchen to negotiate some terms first, but he didn't anticipate that he would be so curious about this matter. However, he didn't mind sharing it with him.

Anping noticed Ling Hongchen's slight frown as he set up some shielding measures. He knew that Ling Hongchen was not unhappy with his actions. On the contrary, he understood that it must be something serious for Anping to be so cautious.

After ensuring their privacy, Anping began to recount how he lured Yun Ming and Yali into the City of Miracles. He started from the contract they signed before going to the Star Luo Empire and explained why Yun Ming could not become a god.

Ling Hongchen burst into laughter when he heard that Anping had used the contract to scheme against Yun Ming and Yali. He knew that they were the master and deputy master of the Poseidon Pavilion, the elite force of Shrek Academy. He was delighted that Anping, who was from Sun Moon Academy, had outsmarted them.

Ling Hongchen's expression turned serious when Anping talked about why Douluo Star could not produce god-level beings and how it was related to Poseidon. He was partly surprised by this revelation, as he had never considered this possibility before.

He also had a grudge against Poseidon, who had interfered with the Sun Moon Empire's attempt to unify the world thousands of years ago. If it weren't for him, the empire would not have faced such a long delay.

He was tempted when he learned that the City of Miracles could resist Tang Hao and Ah Yin's suppression and that Anping had a way to become a god. He was a soul master who dreamed of becoming a god. If he could achieve that, he would have more time and resources to study soul guidance devices.

Anping concluded his story by saying: "In short, this is the situation. If Dean Hongchen is willing to join the City of Miracles, I will share with you the method of becoming a god. What do you think, Dean Hongchen?"

Ling Hongchen did not hesitate and agreed: "Yes, I will join the City of Miracles on behalf of the Hongchen family."

He was straightforward because Anping's offer was too good to refuse. It was the chance to become a god. He was also intrigued by the two weapons that Le Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan possessed.

But he knew that this was not the time to discuss this. He put down his cup and asked curiously: "You said you had two things to talk to me about. The first one was to invite the Hongchen family to the City of Miracles. What about the second one?"

Anping replied: "The second thing is that I hope Dean Hongchen can persuade the Shen family to join us."

Ling Hongchen guessed that Anping was aiming for the Beihai Regiment as soon as he mentioned the Shen family. He frowned slightly and asked: "The Navy Regiment? Why do you want them?"

He wondered why Anping was so eager to recruit other legions when he already had the Southern Legion. There must be something that Anping was not aware of.

Anping did not conceal anything and shared his analysis of the current situation of the federation with Ling Hongchen, as well as his plan to take over the Poseidon consciousness from Tang Sect and Shrek Academy.

Ling Hongchen was not surprised by the structural problems within the federation. He was a high-ranking federal official and he was well-informed about them.

Ling Hongchen frowned slightly when he heard that Poseidon, a god, had meddled with the affairs of the continent again. He said: "I never thought the gods would be like this. Leave this to me."

Anping had hoped that Ling Hongchen would help him get in touch with the head of the Shen family. To his surprise, Ling Hongchen took charge of the matter himself and said with a smile: "Thank you, Dean Hongchen. I appreciate your help."
