Strongest Soldier

In the VIP box of a medium-sized restaurant, Lee Hongtian led the ten members who just joined Heavenly Sword Bureau to a table that was full to the brim.    

After all, with these people joining the competition, Heavenly Sword Bureau was established. Although there were no decorations, the necessary formalities still needed to be done. According to Ye Guloong's request, Lee Hongtian could also close the distance between everyone if he wanted to accompany them to a meal. It was said that it was Elder Ji's idea, so Lee Hongtian couldn't really refuse.    

However, Ye Guloong did not come. He had to go back and report what happened during the day to Elder Ji.    

To be frank, the meaning of this dinner was decided based on Ye Guloong's return this time. It was either a welcoming feast or a farewell meal.    

Of course, this group of people would still stay, but Lee Hongtian might not be able to be the bureau chief anymore. After all, it was against the current system that anyone could become the bureau chief.    

However, Lee Hongtian didn't care. Special departments and special talents should use special management methods. If Elder Ji couldn't accept it, then he would just leave.    

When he was almost done eating, Ma Mingliang suddenly stood up from his seat with a cup of tea in his hand. He said to Lee Hongtian, "Bureau Chief, let me offer you a cup of tea in place of wine. I apologize for being rude to you when we first met."    

Everyone stopped chatting and looked at Lee Hongtian and Ma Mingliang.    

The people who participated in the survival training knew what was going on. They were talking about the incident when Lee Hongtian met with Wang Luoshaan and Wang Luoshaan and Lee Hongtian, while the other four were waiting to see the show with gossips. Especially those two girls, their eyes were almost shooting stars.    

Lee Hongtian was also slightly shocked, then he also stood up and touched the teacup in the air with Ma Mingliang, saying, "At that time, I was just a stranger to you guys, and you should be more wary of me in that kind of environment. From now on, we can be considered colleagues, so there's no need to mention this kind of thing.    

Saying that, Lee Hongtian raised his head and gulped down the cup of tea before sitting down.    

To be honest, with Ma Mingliang's personality, he was still a bit surprised that he could do something like apologizing to him. Ma Mingliang was the type of guy who would not apologize even if he knew he was wrong.    

However, Ma Mingliang did.    

What confused Lee Hongtian even more was that although Ma Mingliang's tone was sincere, his eyes still showed an expression of reluctance. Obviously, he didn't come up with the idea of apologizing.    

The moment Lee Hongtian saw Wang Luoshaan sitting beside Ma Mingliang, he immediately understood what was going on. It was probably because Wang Luoshaan was worried that he would remember his enmity from that day onwards, so he got Ma Mingliang to apologize to him.    

Honestly speaking, Lee Hongtian had admired Wang Luoshaan quite a bit before. However, he never expected him to be so petty and petty.    

This kind of person hated it the most. On the surface, he appeared open-minded, but behind everyone's back, he always liked to look at others with the worst possible thoughts. To put it bluntly, he was a hypocrite.    

It was probably because he saw him attacking Shen Ruhai during the day and started to worry that he had done something wrong and was being watched by Lee Hongtian. That was why he pushed Ma Mingliang out as cannon fodder.    

Lee Hongtian laughed in his heart. His evaluation of Wang Luoshaan was reduced by a few points, but he was too lazy to care about this sort of thing.    

No matter how these people acted, as long as they didn't do any heinous things, listened to orders when needed, and helped the country, they were qualified members of Heavenly Sword Bureau. As for the other things, Lee Hongtian didn't want to know at all.    

However, Lee Hongtian still paid more or less attention to Wang Luoshaan. Looking at Ma Mingliang's expression, he probably didn't even know that he had been tricked by Wang Luoshaan. What a pitiful person.    

Thinking about Wang Luoshaan's behavior, it was very similar to how Shen Ruhai framed them in the past. Even if Wang Luoshaan was not as good as Shen Ruhai, at least Shen Ruhai openly tricked them and admitted it cleanly afterwards.    

However, Wang Luoshaan was different. Lee Hongtian secretly observed for a while. After Ma Mingliang sat down, Wang Luoshaan didn't even look at him and just chatted happily with Tang Yi, who had a weird expression on his face.    

What was going on?    

Lee Hongtian was a little surprised. Tang Yi's face seemed to have seen through the fact that Ma Mingliang's actions were directed by Wang Luoshaan, but why was Wang Luoshaan acting as if nothing had happened?    

Crap, this guy didn't know that he had unintentionally tricked Ma Mingliang.    

Lee Hongtian secretly shook his head. This Wang Luoshaan was really a genius. On the surface, he was the first to be tricked. The main point was that you couldn't blame him because people thought he was doing it for Ma Mingliang's sake.    

Tsk …    

With such a person around, he had to be more careful in the future. Otherwise, he would be tricked to death.    

Ye Zichen had wanted to find a person to filter them out, but he decided to just let it go. People like Shen Ruhai didn't get kicked out, so he just let the others go as long as they don't touch the bottom line.    

Afterwards, everyone continued to eat and chat, while Lee Hongtian spent most of his time on getting to know the four people he just met.    

Amongst the four of them, no one knew the real name of the monk.    

This person spoke very little, but his face was always smiling. It was unknown if he was really happy or if there was something wrong with his facial muscles.    

However, Lee Hongtian knew from Ye Guloong that Lee Hongtian was not a simple person. It was said that a few years ago, during a joint buddhist event, Lee Hongtian had relied on his understanding of buddhist mantras to lecture several respected masters to the point where they vomited blood.    

This included the Reverend of the Five Stage Mountain, who was then removed from the list. From then on, he wandered the world as a single person until he joined Heavenly Sword Bureau. He could be considered the only one out of the ten who didn't have a backer.    

Next was another man. Like Wang Yue, he was also wearing a Daoist robe and a chignon. However, he was not on the same mountain as Wang Yue. Instead, he was an expert from the Heavenly Master Manor. His name was Zhang Nanxi.    

It was said that he was one of the successors to the next Heavenly Master.    

Her elder sister's name was Ho Xian'er, and her younger sister's name was Ho Ling'er. The two sisters were both experts in using talismans, and it seemed that their Sect Leader had a deep prejudice against women. Recently, he had taken in a talented disciple and had sent them here, afraid that they would usurp the position.
