"Miss, could you please contact Su Ping for me again? I really need to speak with him about an urgent matter."
"Sir, you’ve already spoken with the guest’s assistant, haven't you? The guest is currently meditating and absolutely cannot be disturbed. Could you possibly return in about half an hour?"
"Or if you know the guest personally, you could try calling his private number."
The receptionist observed the man with a sense of helplessness; those who could enter the Dragon Dynasty were not individuals a mere receptionist could afford to offend.
However, sometimes, there was simply no alternative.
Indeed, the visitor was none other than Huang Tianbing, appearing visibly weary with pronounced dark circles under his eyes.
Huang Tianbing let out a sigh of resignation, realizing with dismay that he had not obtained Su Ping’s latest phone number.
To get in touch with Su Ping, he would normally have to go through the Qintian Monitor’s internal system, but Su Ping had not logged in for a considerable time. He had actually attempted to visit yesterday, only to find that Su Ping was unavailable.
He made a special trip early this morning, only to encounter this very same obstacle.
With no other option, he had to wait.
Huang Tianbing retreated to a seat in the reception lounge, truly settling in to wait, which subtly surprised Chen Zhan as he entered the premises.
This individual holds a significant position; while only at the Emperor Level, he is highly esteemed as the Chief Supervisor of the Qintian Monitor. Could he also be here to see Su Ping?
This rustic beast tamer from Jianghai seems to be quite in demand?
"Greetings, Director Huang."
Chen Zhan offered a polite greeting with a smile.
"Greetings, and you are...?"
"I am Chen Zhan. Chen Siming is my father, and Chen Lifeng is my grandfather."
Chen Zhan introduced himself.
Huang Tianbing displayed a flicker of surprise, then, after a rapid mental scan of the names, he comprehended:
"Ah, you must be Old Chen’s great-grandson. How is Saint Yuan’s health these days?"
"Thanks to your care, he is doing very well. Are you also here to see Su Ping?"
"Yes? You are too? That’s wonderful news. Do you happen to have Su Ping’s phone number? Please call him quickly, I urgently need to request his assistance..."
Huang Tianbing expressed his delight, rising eagerly and directing his gaze towards Chen Zhan.
The latter appeared slightly flustered:
"Uh..."
He then cast a glance at the two individuals accompanying him, prompting Yan Fan to respond swiftly:
"We don’t have it either..."
Huang Tianbing unceremoniously sat back down, his interest in this Chen family descendant waning.
Chen Zhan found himself momentarily speechless but then reflected and proposed:
"In that case, you may wait here while I ask the receptionist to contact Su Ping for you?"
"Mm, please do, by all means."
However, just as Chen Zhan began to move towards the reception, the main entrance behind him swung open once more. Two figures strode in swiftly, disregarding everyone else present and proceeding directly towards the reception counter.
Each resonant footstep echoed like the clash of armored bodies against metal:
"Greetings, is Breeder Su Ping present today? We kindly request you notify him..."
The voice delivered was distinctly and eerily electronic.
Evidently, the mention of Su Ping’s name not only caused Chen Zhan to eye the two familiar yet unidentifiable figures with confusion but also prompted Huang Tianbing to turn his head.
Then, momentarily setting aside his fatigue, the usually reserved Lord Jianzheng’s eyes widened with sudden excitement as he hurried forward:
"President Wu, Mad Saint, what brings you here? Didn’t your assistant inform me you were on a business trip to Ximo Province?"
The peculiar figure at the center of the group rotated to face them.
A strikingly mechanical visage was unveiled to everyone’s sight.
The face was a complex amalgam of gleaming metal and intricate circuitry.
Even a cybernetic eye emitted faint infrared beams, scanning the approaching Huang Tianbing.
Chen Zhan instinctively straightened his posture, instantly recognizing the identity of the person he had just turned to observe.
It was the President of the Mechanics Association, a Holy Spirit Level Mechanical Beastmaster, none other than Wu Kuang.
His well-known moniker was Mad Saint.
He too is visiting Su Ping?
Addressing Huang Tianbing, Wu Kuang paused briefly before replying:
"I have just returned, haven’t I?"
"Returned..."
"Little Huang, I am aware of your predicament as well. The supply of Space Shatterers is indeed quite scarce at present...
I have some pressing matters to attend to today and rushed back from Ximo Province specifically for this purpose. Perhaps next time, we could arrange to discuss such issues at the association’s office?"
"You as well..."
Huang Tianbing pursed his lips slightly and offered a nod: "Please, proceed."
Subsequently, he returned to his seat, his gaze fixed intently on the reception desk.
As anticipated, under his scrutinizing observation, the receptionist initiated another phone call.
Then, emanating from the receiver, the cool, unwavering voice of the female assistant could be heard once more:
"I have already stated that Breeder Su Ping is in meditation; no one is permitted to disturb him, regardless of who it may be!"
"Wait a moment, isn’t that Long’er? When we were executing that mission previously, I gave you all a ride!
Do you know who I am? I am Wu Kuang! Yes, yes, oh, that’s right, I do indeed have an urgent matter. How much longer will it take? You’re not sure? Please... "
Under Huang Tianbing’s gleeful and somewhat schadenfreude gaze, watching Mad Saint, who had just spoken to him with formal authority, now appear so utterly helpless on the phone, he couldn’t help but permit himself a faint smile.
“Still nothing? Breeder Su Ping is in meditation, and no one is allowed to disturb him, no matter who it is? Long’er, haven’t I been too inactive lately, making you too bold? Who uttered this? Just because Breeder Su Ping is meditating doesn’t mean it’s profound research. Why can’t he be disturbed? Who dared to say this? Believe it or not, I will summon the Sky-Dominating War Machine to take him for a ride through space? Damn it, was it Leng Ao who said this?” The phone call ended. Wu Kuang, listening to the dial tone, was left utterly stunned. Beside him, Huang Tianbing asked with a wide grin, “Mad Saint, President Wu, what’s the verdict?” Wu Kuang pursed his lips, cast a look at Huang Tianbing, and couldn't be bothered to respond. He even considered delivering a slap with his mechanical arm. The reason was straightforward: Long’er on the other end had simply replied calmly, ‘This is the instruction from Lord Holy Dragon. Furthermore, Mad Saint, I will relay your exact words to Lord Holy Dragon.’ Recalling this, Wu Kuang couldn't help but deliver a slap to himself with that mechanical arm. Nearby, Chen Zhan and the other three remained in silence. That is, until Yan Fan glanced at the quiet Chen Zhan, “Ahem, Brother Chen, shall we still make the call?”
