“It’s here, the Wave Viewing Tower…”
The talisman provided a location, the Wave Viewing Tower in the western part of the city.
Su Yuan nodded, glanced at Ruan Ruan still practicing in the Qingming Realm, and immediately used his phone to locate the place and headed there.
The Wave Viewing Tower was one of North Pole City’s landmark buildings, over twenty stories high.
In a city with predominantly flat buildings like North Pole City, this height was considerably high, offering a view of a large green lake to the west and the outskirts beyond the city.
“This Wave Viewing Tower is quite bustling.”
Su Yuan observed the tall building, then walked in and went straight to the top-level private room, knocked on the door, and entered.
To his surprise, there were already four people inside.
Sitting at the main seat was a middle-aged man with an unfathomable aura, dressed in a black robe with a small yet dignified Azure Dragon insignia at his collar.
Behind him stood a stern and serious-looking black-faced middle-aged man.
To the left and right sat a cold-looking young man and a capable yet sexy woman in her late twenties.
The middle-aged man in the main seat spoke, “Have a seat. We’re waiting for one more.”
Su Yuan nodded and sat next to the cold young man.
However, as he got closer, Su Yuan felt a faint sense of familiarity.
The cold young man also looked over with a hint of curiosity.
Upon exchanging glances, both Su Yuan and the cold young man’s curiosity turned into surprise.
“It’s that White Tiger Masked Man?”
Su Yuan realized this was the person he traded the Sea and Sky Realm with at the small trading event a few days ago.
Although they wore animal masks then, as Shining Star Level experts, it wasn’t hard to recognize each other at such close proximity.
Meeting here again was quite the coincidence.
The brief exchange of glances between Su Yuan and the cold young man didn’t go unnoticed by the woman opposite, who slightly curved her lips with a thoughtful expression in her eyes.
Su Yuan discreetly observed the others, pondering inwardly.
Undoubtedly, the middle-aged man in the main seat was an expert from the Sky Patrol Department. Judging by the Azure Dragon insignia at his collar, he might be the Azure Dragon Imperial Envoy.
Su Yuan couldn’t gauge the man’s strength, but at least he was Radiant Moon Level.
The black-faced middle-aged man standing behind him should also be a top expert of the Great Flame Official and likely related to the task at hand.
The cold young man and the woman below seemed to be here for the entry assessment task, just like himself.
“I didn’t expect it to be a team task…”
Su Yuan initially thought it was a solo task, but it appeared to be a team task now.
The Azure Dragon Imperial Envoy expert on the main seat mentioned one more person, making it a four-member task…
While more people were involved, which wasn’t necessarily a good thing.
Firstly, Su Yuan was used to working independently.
Secondly, more members implied a higher difficulty for the task.
“Looks like it might be quite challenging.”
About ten minutes later, the room’s door opened again, and a burly man over six feet tall with a rough and rugged aura entered.
“Hey, so many people!”
The burly man walked in and sat beside the capable woman with a thud.
Seeing the burly man, the woman’s pupils contracted, and a vigilant look flickered in her eyes.
Once the burly man sat down, the Sky Patrol Department expert in the main seat spoke, “My name is Xu Fengtian, the Azure Dragon Imperial Envoy of the Sky Patrol Department. Since everyone is here, let’s verify identities first.”
In the Sky Patrol Department, the ranks from bottom to top were Special Envoy, Envoy, and Imperial Envoy. Each rank required completing promotion tasks or accumulating enough merits to advance.
Generally, Envoys were of Radiant Moon Level and above, though not all Radiant Moon Level individuals were Envoys.
Hearing this, everyone took out a talisman.
Su Yuan also placed the talisman given by Hou Wu on the table.
Xu Fengtian picked up each talisman to verify them.
“Tang Jiao, Xuanwu Imperial Prelim.”
The woman straightened up and respectfully saluted, “Tang Jiao, greetings, Envoy Xu!”
Su Yuan and the others’ expressions changed slightly at this.
Her salute was a standard military salute, clearly indicating she was an elite selected from the military for the entry assessment.
If not for the military salute, Su Yuan and the others wouldn’t have guessed.
Xu Fengtian nodded, then picked up the talismans of the cold young man, Su Yuan, and the burly man in turn.
“Lin Chongyun, White Tiger Imperial Prelim.”
“Su Yuan, Vermilion Bird Imperial Prelim.”
“Xiong Chunyang, Azure Dragon Imperial Prelim.”
Su Yuan and the others also saluted in turn.
Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise—it was intriguing that all four Imperials were present for this task, whether by coincidence or design.
After confirming their identities, Xu Fengtian explained the task.
“This entry assessment is a team task. The goal is to assist Manager Wu in transferring several prisoners to Yanluo Country.”
Prisoner transfer?
Su Yuan and the others immediately pondered.
Indeed, there were various cooperations among Great Flame, Yanluo, Black Snow, and other southern countries.
Mutual assistance in apprehensions was one of them.
