Qinling.

Xia Ruochen, who had just launched an offensive against Qinling and suffered a defeat, received a call from Mu Jinyu, wanting to ask a few more questions, but the call was abruptly ended.

He was momentarily stunned, then his expression turned grim. He immediately searched his contact list and called the person in charge in Min Province.

"Hello, Director Gao? The Dragon King of Dragon King Hall seems to be at your Rong City Daxia Martial Arts Hall, encountering some trouble. You should send someone over to see how to resolve it..."

After making the call, Xia Ruochen put away his phone, lifted the tent, and walked out with his hands behind his back, gazing at the towering Qinling with a solemn expression.

"Boss, how is it? We've almost rested enough, should we prepare to continue the offensive?"

Someone saw Xia Ruochen come out, exhaled lightly, put down the wine pot, and asked.

Xia Ruochen shook his head slightly and said, "Let's wait for now. That Great Python is too tricky. We couldn't beat it just now, and it might still be difficult now. However, the Dragon King is currently at our Rong City's branch, so there might be a turning point."

"The Dragon King?"

Upon hearing Xia Ruochen's words, the person's previously dim eyes brightened, muttering, "If the Dragon King comes to help, then he should indeed easily kill that Great Python and avenge our fallen brothers."

...

At the Daxia Main Hall in the center of Rong City, after receiving Xia Ruochen's call, Gao Siyuan put down his phone and said puzzled, "Strange, why would the Dragon King come to us..."

Although filled with confusion and puzzlement, he immediately took out his phone to have someone investigate the surveillance and see which branch the Dragon King had come to in Rong City.

Soon, Gao Siyuan confirmed the location as the Eastern District Branch and called the branch's Pavilion Master to come immediately.

"Boss, what's going on?"

Quickly, the Pavilion Master of Rong City's Eastern District Branch, Cheng Xiuzhu, led over a dozen senior members of their Martial Arts School to Gao Siyuan's office in a hurry.

Cheng Xiuzhu's face was somewhat pale, carrying a look of tension.

Originally, he received notice that Xia Ruochen and a group of people had failed on the Qinling front. He hastily brought his subordinates to the Rong City Main Branch to discuss strategies and prepare to head to Qinling for support once everyone gathered.

But unexpectedly, before long, the Eastern District Branch he was responsible for seemed to have some situation, which left him puzzled and quite uneasy.

Gao Siyuan looked up at the group standing in front of his desk, directly at Cheng Xiuzhu, and said, "Director Xia just called and informed me that the Dragon King from the Dragon King Hall is currently at our Rong City Daxia Martial Arts Hall, seemingly encountering some trouble for us to solve. I just investigated; he should be at your Eastern District Branch. Do you know what's going on?"

Though the matter needed urgent attention, Gao Siyuan didn't want to rush over recklessly, fearing offending Mu Jinyu without understanding the situation, which would be disastrous.

Therefore, he summoned Cheng Xiuzhu and the others to first understand the situation, as it wasn't urgent at this moment.

"The Dragon King from Dragon King Hall has come to our branch?"

Cheng Xiuzhu and his group behind him were all puzzled upon hearing this, clearly unaware of the situation.

"We know nothing about this!" With a slight frown, Cheng Xiuzhu asked, "Boss, you've just investigated, how did the Dragon King come to my branch?"

Gao Siyuan replied, "I just checked roadside surveillance videos, it looked like he entered your branch with a few people, and those people don't seem to be students of your Martial Arts School. I don't know the specifics, so I'm asking you!"

"Came with a few people..."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiuzhu pondered slightly, thinking their Martial Arts School generally wouldn't allow unrelated people inside; the only exception would be during enrollment...

"By the way, the school was preparing for recruitment today... Could it be that the Dragon King happened to come with friends during recruitment?"

Cheng Xiuzhu mumbled to himself, then hurriedly told Gao Siyuan, "Boss, I might have an idea. It might be because our branch was enrolling today, and accidentally recruited the Dragon King along with them? I'll call the admissions director to ask!"

Hearing his explanation, Gao Siyuan was surprised, finding it somewhat comical. What does it mean to accidentally recruit the Dragon King? Does your Eastern District Branch have such capabilities?

Though feeling absurd, Gao Siyuan nodded and said, "Then hurry and call to find out."

"Okay." Cheng Xiuzhu nodded, intending to take out his phone and find the admissions director's number to call and inquire.

Suddenly, a timid voice came from behind him, "Boss, I'm right here..."

"Hm?!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiuzhu turned abruptly and looked at the group behind him with a suspicious gaze.

"Ring ring!"

At this moment, his phone call connected, and a handsome man among the group behind him also had a melodious phone ringtone.

"Little Jin, why are you here? Who is in charge of admissions?"

Seeing the appearance of the admissions director, Cheng Xiuzhu was immediately astonished.

Jin Ningchen smiled bitterly and said, "Wasn't the leader also notified just now? So, I followed along, and left the admissions matters to one of the instructors in the Martial Arts School..."

Hearing Jin Ningchen's words, Cheng Xiuzhu and Gao Siyuan exchanged glances, almost understanding why the Martial Arts School had incidents that alarmed Xia Ruochen.

Certainly, Mu Jinyu followed his friends to the Martial Arts School, and during the recruitment test, the instructor temporarily assigned by Jin Ningchen had some conflict with his friends. Deliberately making things difficult for them, which led to this situation...

"Alas, what confusion!"

Cheng Xiuzhu sighed, unsure whether to blame himself or blame Jin Ningchen, and then said, "You can temporarily put aside the admissions issues, as there's no urgency to handle them immediately. Just because you were notified to come, you shouldn't randomly delegate tasks..."

"Sorry..." Jin Ningchen lowered his head and said weakly.

He felt helpless. What do you mean there's no urgency to handle them immediately?

Clearly, you mentioned earlier that the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow needs over a thousand cultivators with Wood Spirit Roots, and Fire Spirit Roots are also useful. Urgently recruiting these people would make their Eastern District Branch's position even more significant in the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow!

How could he dare to postpone handling it?

Now an incident occurred, but it's blamed on him!

"Forget it, what's done is done. There's no use saying more. Since we've almost figured out the reason, let's quickly go and see what the situation has developed into."

Gao Siyuan timely spoke, urging them to stop arguing.

He paused, then looked at Jin Ningchen and said, "By the way, call that instructor and see if you can reach him?"

If they could reach that instructor, they might understand the situation on site more clearly. If they couldn't, it would indicate their speculation was likely correct...

Jin Ningchen hurriedly took out his phone and called Qiao Hongxi.

"Can't reach him!"

Finally, Jin Ningchen hung up, shook his head heavily, and told the group.

Seeing this, Gao Siyuan sighed softly and said, "Then let's quickly go handle this; don't let the Dragon King wait too long..."
