The next day.
At the Garrison Office.
A middle - aged man in his early thirties was lazily reclined on the sofa in the office.
He had a calm face, with an imposing manner between his brows that demanded respect even without anger, naturally exuding the dignity of a person in a high position.
However, at this moment, he was completely out of sync with this dignity. He had a skewer in his mouth and was holding a popular adapted comic book called "Sister in White Stockings", reading it with great interest and occasionally letting out strange laughs, clearly immersed in it.
"Buzz - buzz -"
Suddenly, the phone on the office desk rang.
Guardian Jiang, who had been interrupted from reading his comic, frowned, and a look of annoyance flashed across his face.
Without even looking up, he simply raised his right hand and hooked his finger slightly.
The next second, the phone on the desk actually levitated into the air and floated steadily into his hand.
He pressed the answer button and said impatiently, "Who is it?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then a deep voice came, "Lao Jiang, it's me."
Guardian Jiang was taken aback and frowned slightly.
He put down the comic book in his hand, took out the skewer from his mouth, and tried hard to recall who the owner of this voice was.
However, after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't match the voice to a person.
"Who is this?" Guardian Jiang's tone was filled with confusion, and he unconsciously sat up a little straighter.
Not many people knew this phone number.
The voice on the other end remained calm, "Su Qi."
"Su Qi?" Guardian Jiang repeated the name, frowning even more tightly.
He searched his mind for this name but still found no impression.
"Su Qi? Who is that?"
Guardian Jiang's tone was impatient, clearly not having a good impression of the person who had interrupted his comic - reading.
The person on the other end didn't seem to care about his attitude.
"We met at the Shady Shadow Source Realm."
Munching on the skewer, he replied indistinctly, "Got it."
Well, the Shady Shadow Source Realm was a bit of a scandal in Jiangxia City. Even if you searched for it online now, you wouldn't find much.
It seemed that at that time, he wasn't the guardian yet.
To make a long story short, the Shady Shadow Source Realm, which was supposed to be a 'new - student training ground', had its level misjudged.
It was supposed to be a D - level secret realm, but unexpectedly, the source - realm creatures inside had special bloodline skills that would be triggered only when a certain number of their race had sacrificed.
When they erupted, the rescue teams couldn't cover all the new - student teams in time.
Casualties were inevitable.
The worst - hit team had to face three sixth - order creatures at the same time.
Unfortunately, he was the unlucky one in charge of that team.
Even though he followed all the procedures correctly, because he was afraid that his 'aura' would scare away the source - realm creatures, he had been trailing at the back of the team, at the farthest distance where he could still provide support at any time.
It would only take him half a minute to reach the scene.
But half a minute was enough for these three sixth - order creatures to wipe out the entire team.
Fortunately, a student in the team had a sudden burst of power. Ignoring the limit of his spiritual power, he activated six cards simultaneously and managed to hold on for twenty seconds against the three sixth - order creatures.
Coupled with his desperate rush, he managed to cut the half - minute journey down to twenty seconds, and thankfully, all the team members survived.
The only pity was that the student's soul sea was ruptured and needed a large amount of soul power to repair. It was almost impossible for him to be promoted in the next three to five years.
Guardian Jiang wanted to privately subsidize the student with some resources to help him repair his soul sea quickly, but the student refused. Moreover, the student even took the blame for him, saying that it was because he had disobeyed the advice and insisted on going deeper that the whole team had almost been wiped out.
Of course, there's no such thing as a free lunch.
The student said that Guardian Jiang owed him a favor. On the premise of not violating morality, not violating the Great Xia Law, and not endangering him and his family's safety, Guardian Jiang had to unconditionally help him with one thing.
Was that student named 'Su Qi'?
Guardian Jiang lowered his voice and said, "Tell me, who do you want me to kill?"
"Do you want the body intact or in pieces?"
...
Su Qi also felt annoyed when he recalled that incident.
He thought that he had single - handedly saved the whole team and should have been 'brilliant', but it turned out to be nothing.
As the saying goes, a thief never leaves empty - handed.
He had managed to get the tutor at that time to owe him a favor.
Unexpectedly, after six or seven years, that tutor had become the guardian.
But...
As soon as he opened his mouth.
His way of thinking was a bit wild...
Dude.
Your sense of morality seems a bit low, right?
Or is it that now that you're in a high position, killing people doesn't violate the Great Xia Law?
"Help me send a movie ticket to the Yun family and give it to Yun Huang."
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, and only after half a minute did a voice come through.
Guardian Jiang's tone was filled with disbelief, "You want to court a girl from the Yun family?"
He paused for a moment and then his tone became serious, "She's beautiful, but I advise you to give up this idea."
"I won't help with this."
Guardian Jiang's voice carried a warning, "That girl probably doesn't even know what love is."
He seemed to realize that his words might be misinterpreted and added, "Don't get the wrong idea. I mean she doesn't know what love is, not that other thing."
"You can keep the favor."
The persuasion in his words was obvious.
"No, just give it to Yun Huang's mother."
As a result, the person on the other end started to tease, "Kid, have you finally come to your senses after so many years of getting beaten up?"
He imitated an exaggerated tone and continued, "Auntie, I don't want to work hard anymore!"
"You can give up on this idea too. That crazy woman is mentally unstable. Whether you can outplay her or not aside, there's nothing in her mind right now except protecting the Yun family."
Su Qi looked at the card in his hand and said, "Give me an address. I'll send you something, and then you can decide whether to help or not. Okay?"
"You're so stubborn. Can't I be looking out for you?"
Su Qi didn't like to do things without a good chance of success.
Since he said so, he was confident that he could get her to go.
He had his own wild ways.
