Guo Wenlong turned his head to look at Tian Guoping.
He bowed deeply and asked earnestly, "Grandpa Tian, are you aware of this matter?"
"Um, cough cough, I only got the news later."
Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Tian Guoping could only nod.
Zhang Yuwen, standing nearby, looked on incredulously, then grabbed Tian Guoping's white beard and cursed:
"Well, you think you can fool me after all these years of brotherhood?!"
"You're willing to bet me thirty years' worth of royal jelly?!"
"Ahem, it was an accident!"
Tian Guoping chuckled.
On the other side.
Xie Changqing, whose mind was already blank, finally came to his senses.
Lu Chen?!
That guy who's been hanging around my daughter the whole time?!
How could they have become a member of the Rongcheng Management Office without anyone noticing?!
I...
Xie Changqing was on the verge of a mental breakdown!
She had worked so hard to get transferred to Chengdu, hoping her daughter could live a peaceful and ordinary life.
This is infuriating!
Zheng Anmin even arranged for someone to be placed next to me!
He knew Lu Chen well afterward.
What happened to him was definitely not simple.
Isn't this like putting your own daughter next to a time bomb?!
The situation was clearly spiraling out of control.
Guo Wenlong slowly exhaled.
Looking at everyone, he said softly, "Alright!"
His words seemed to carry some kind of special power, and everyone present stopped in unison.
"Grandpa Tian, I'll stay for another day. Could I see Lu Chen alone tomorrow?"
“…Okay.” Tian Guoping thought for a long time.
"That's good, if he has the qualifications..."
Guo Wenlong paused.
He solemnly declared, "I will submit an application to have him included in the Twelve Earthly Branches!"

The next day.
Central Arena.
Today is the individual final, and also the last day of the Chengdu International Competition.
The entire spectator stands were packed with people.
Many people came after seeing news about Lu Chen and Jack online.
An international competition held every three years.
Everyone present was expecting a thrilling and exciting match.
In the commentary box.
Professional trainer Yang Xin hosted the competition as usual.
However, her tone was much more agitated today.
"Dear viewers!"
"Let's give a round of applause to welcome our two genius trainers to the stage today!"
She looked around.
His enthusiastic tone and expressions significantly increased the excitement in the spectator stands.
"This match is the final battle between Lu Chen and Jack!"
"This is also the strongest competition between the younger generation of our Dragon Kingdom and the Beautiful Country!"
Yang Xin hosted the event.
He introduced Lu Chen and Jack to the new audience members.
only.
The audience was so familiar with these two that they couldn't be more familiar with them.
But even if they were tired of hearing it, it wouldn't change their enthusiasm.
"This is really strange. Neither of the two contestants seems to have any special background!"
“Lu Chen is 28 and still an orphan, and Jack also seems to come from an ordinary family.”
in the audience.
People discussed it amongst themselves.
Overall, people felt more sympathy for Lu Chen than for his potential to win the championship.
after all.
Ultimately, the competition comes down to skill.
"Sigh, this Jack is not as simple as he seems on the surface."
It was unusual for Tian Guoping and Zhang Yuwen not to be in the spectator stands.
Instead, he stayed in the Rockets' locker room.
Together with the other students from Rongcheng No. 3 Middle School, we witnessed this battle.
"Old Zhang, what did you find out?"
Upon hearing Zhang Yuwen's remarks, Tian Guoping and the rest of the Rockets team were immediately filled with doubt.
"Let's wait for the game to start."
"You will see..."
Zhang Yuwen took a deep breath.
As a direct investigator of the Pokémon League, an upper echelon of the Pokémon Association.
He has access to information channels.
There are far more special management offices than in a typical city!
So normally there wouldn't be anything that could cause him such a big emotional fluctuation.
But the news I received this morning.
Even this seasoned trainer, who had seen it all, was taken aback.
"The guests present today include..."
Yang Xin continued her introduction.
The Chengdu Elf Association, teachers and directors from various universities, CEOs of well-known companies...
In short.
A big shot in the Southwest region.
Quite a few people came today!
even!
Many trainers also spotted personnel in special management uniforms in various corners of the venue.
and!
In the most important position on the stage...
There's an empty seat.
Next to them are Xie Changqing, president of the Elf Association, and Chu Hong, director of the admissions office of Northern United University!
at this point.
This has led to much speculation.
Who exactly is this important figure who suddenly appeared in the middle?
"The Chengdu International Pokémon Competition is also coming to its final battle today!"
"Because of the excitement of this competition, we also have a special guest at the event today!"
"I'm sure everyone is familiar with her!"
"...Debuting at 20, starring in the wildly popular TV series 'I Became a Trainer!', officially announcing his retirement from acting at 22 to take the entrance exam for the Pokémon Association, successfully passing the professional trainer exam at 26, and becoming a highly regarded Elite Four trainer in the Dragon Kingdom at 28..."
"He once represented the Dragon Kingdom in the World Pokémon League Tournament, winning countless honors for the Dragon Kingdom..."
"That's right!"
"Our special guest this time is none other than Master Jiang Yu!"
"She's here at our competition this time too!!!"
Swish! ! !
The lights instantly switched to the empty seats in the guest area.
