Chapter 180: Xiao Chen, the Outstanding Guardian
“Serious matter? Alright, go ahead,” Yu Fang said with a slight surprise.
Xia Xiaoying glanced behind at the team members who were struggling to hold on, and said, “Let’s talk in the office upstairs.”
Yu Fang nodded, turned to look at the team members behind him, and said, “Keep it up! You need to maintain this for at least an hour! Mr. Xia will watch over you for me.”
Xia Heguang was somewhat amused.
In the entire Jiangnan District, perhaps only Yu Fang dared to order him around like this.
And without even asking for his permission first.
Meanwhile, the team members were internally wailing.
Their muscles and bones were experiencing splitting pain, and they could barely hold on.
But with the captain present, they had to endure no matter what! No one wanted to leave a bad impression on the captain!
Huang Xiaolong gritted his teeth, his gaze following Xia Xiaoying’s figure as she walked away with Yu Fang.
…
Yu Fang entered an office on the second floor of the training base and sat on a redwood sofa.
Xia Xiaoying took out a stack of documents from a brown briefcase and placed them on the coffee table.
“This is the compiled information about all participating teams from each district in this year’s District Competition,” Xia Xiaoying said coldly.
Yu Fang picked up the documents and glanced through them casually, finding that they were filled with extensive text, detailing everything from each team member’s family background to their life history from birth until now.
To Yu Fang, this information was meaningless.
Yu Fang put the documents back on the table and looked up at Xia Xiaoying, saying, “There are too many words, I won’t read it. Just tell me the key points directly.”
Although it wasn’t difficult for Xia Xiaoying in the Intelligence Group to obtain this information, it still required time and effort to filter and organize these details.
Yet Yu Fang just casually glanced at it and tossed it aside.
This showed such disrespect for others’ work.
Xia Xiaoying frowned slightly and said coldly, “All the key points are specifically marked in the documents. You just need to read through them to know.”
“Too many words, don’t want to read,” Yu Fang said.
Xia Xiaoying narrowed her eyes slightly, crossed her arms, and stared coldly at Yu Fang.
If her subordinates saw her expression now, they would be too scared to speak.
Because they all knew this was a sign of her anger.
But Yu Fang paid no attention to Xia Xiaoying’s expression, sitting with his legs crossed, completely at ease.
After all, he was someone invited by grandfather, and his abilities were indeed impressive.
She had to endure it.
Xia Xiaoying took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, and said, “Fine, I’ll tell you the key points.”
“Jiangnan District’s goal this time is to achieve a top-three ranking. So, there are four opponents we need to consider. One of them is Xicheng District, who ranked second last time.”
“This time, Xicheng District has sent three super-elite level team members.”
“Two of them have achievements, and one, like you, is an externally hired member…”
“Wait, I want to know why your District Competition allows external reinforcements? Shouldn’t this kind of competition be limited to only internal district members?” Yu Fang asked puzzled.
Xia Xiaoying frowned and said, “The rules don’t allow it, but many competitions ago, some districts started bringing in external help. As for the identity issue of external members, it’s easily solved by arranging a position for them in the district. The higher-ups turn a blind eye to this. After all, being able to recruit external members who meet the competition requirements is also considered a capability.”
“Competition requirements?” Yu Fang looked at Xia Xiaoying.
“Participating team members must be under twenty-eight years old and have no background in martial arts families or sects. These are the hard requirements,” Xia Xiaoying said.
“Oh, I see,” Yu Fang nodded in understanding.
“Besides Xicheng District, Central District, who ranked third last time, also poses a significant threat to Jiangnan. They’ve also sent three super-elite level team members…” Xia Xiaoying continued.
“What level of strength is a super-elite member?” Yu Fang asked.
“It refers to team members whose cultivation realm is above the Master level,” Xia Xiaoying continued, “Besides Central District, there’s also Southwest District and Northwest District, both with considerable strength…”
“Alright, no need to continue with those, just tell me which team is the strongest,” Yu Fang interrupted again.
Xia Xiaoying took a deep breath and said, “The strongest team is the Divine Team from Yanchen District. This team… there’s no point in analyzing them. Everyone knows they’ll be the champions this year.”
“That strong?” Yu Fang raised an eyebrow.
Xia Xiaoying originally didn’t want to waste words explaining about the Divine Team, but seeing Yu Fang’s lazy attitude, she felt increasingly displeased.
Fine, she would explain it to dampen Yu Fang’s arrogance! Let him know that there are always stronger people out there.
“The overall strength of the Divine Team is at least two levels above other district teams.”
“Their strongest member, called Xiao Chen, is known as the top Guardian of this generation, a legendary figure.”
When speaking of Xiao Chen, Xia Xiaoying’s usually cold eyes flashed with admiration.
“Xiao Chen is twenty-six this year, but his achievements surpass those of veterans who have served for decades! He joined the team at fifteen, and by eighteen, he had already earned ten first-class merits, thirteen second-class merits, and eight third-class merits.”
“The merits he earned in those three years exceed what most professional security personnel earn in their entire careers!”
“At just eighteen, if not for age restrictions, his merits would have qualified him for the highest management position!”
“After that, he continued his legendary path. Until this year, Xiao Chen has earned hundreds of merits, steadily ranking first in the Nine States National Rankings. He was even personally praised as a heaven-sent talent by the Nine States Administrator.”
“With Xiao Chen leading Yanchen District’s Divine Team in this District Competition, other districts can only compete for second place,” Xia Xiaoying said.
Just mentioning Xiao Chen changed Xia Xiaoying’s demeanor, her tone becoming somewhat excited.
“You seem to really admire this top Guardian?” Yu Fang asked.
“Of course, not just me, I think every young person in the Nine States borders admires him. He’s a living legend, a role model for every young professional security personnel of our generation,” Xia Xiaoying said with enthusiasm.
A moment later, she realized she might have lost her composure and immediately resumed her cold demeanor.
She glanced at Yu Fang and said, “I won’t say more about Yanchen District, there’s no point in analyzing them.”
“I actually think it’s quite meaningful. Yanchen District should be our primary target,” Yu Fang said.
Making Yanchen District the primary target?
Xia Xiaoying’s expression changed slightly, her impression of Yu Fang getting worse.
Too arrogant.
In this District Competition, Jiangnan District’s strength was the weakest on paper.
Even Xicheng District wouldn’t dare to make Yanchen District their primary target, let alone the weak Jiangnan District?
Xia Xiaoying knew Yu Fang was strong, even capable of defeating a Martial Supreme.
But other districts had also recruited powerful external reinforcements like Yu Fang.
It was uncertain whether Yu Fang could gain any advantage against these people, let alone against Yanchen District’s top Guardian Xiao Chen.
This legendary figure’s rich resume had never included the word failure.
No matter what he did, regardless of the difficulty, he always succeeded.
“Captain Fang, I think we should be more realistic about our goals. Jiangnan District ranked fifth last time, this time our goal should be to maintain fifth place while striving for third,” Xia Xiaoying said flatly.
“Fine, then let’s maintain fifth and strive for third,” Yu Fang said.
Xia Xiaoying picked up the documents from the table and said, “Since Captain Fang doesn’t want to read this intelligence, I’ll take it back. Also, I’ll submit Jiangnan District’s participant list today.”
Saying this, Xia Xiaoying brought out another paper, which had a table with ten names on it.
Captain: Yu Fang.
Seeing this, Yu Fang frowned slightly and said, “Change my name to Dao Tian.”
“Dao Tian? Alright, I’ll help you modify it,” Xia Xiaoying was puzzled but didn’t say much.
After all, external reinforcements using pseudonyms in competition was a common thing.
