As of today, five days had passed since the terrorist attack. Among the suspects, there were only a few people who have not been tested yet. If they couldn't find that high-level guide, they could only report to their superiors and admit their incompetence.
The government officials were very nervous. The eyes looking at Chi Zhao were full of uncertainty and doubt.
Noah Mayswen. Awakened at the age of twelve. A level two guide.
Unlike the other suspects, Noah was a native of the main star and he also came from a very famous family. As such, the possibility of him being that high level guide was very low.
For common people to hide their own talent, it may be because they were afraid of their crimes being exposed or because they didn't want to live a life bound by the country, but Noah was different. He was a noble and although his life wasn't one where everyone was watching his every move, there were at least still some who would do that. If he really had such high spiritual power, it would be impossible for him to hide it until now without revealing himself.
Besides, the documents sent back had mentioned that Noah was someone who was extremely vain and would want everyone's eyes to be on him. If he really had such high spiritual power, the first thing he would do wouldn't be to hide himself but to proudly show it off.
Chi Zhao quietly waited for the test but the eyes of the uncle next to him who was a high-ranking official seemed to be becoming stranger and stranger. He frowned and turned to look at him but instead of being embarrassed from being caught looking at him, the uncle just shook his head in disappointment.
Chi Zhao: "..."
The testing machine was finished setting up. Chi Zhao laid inside and his five senses were instantly sealed. At the same time, the door to the testing room was opened and a man dressed in noble clothes walked in. His appearance was very sharp, and he looked aloof at first glance. His act of looking around the room was filled with arrogance and disdain from a superior. The staff controlling the machine were originally about to press the start button but when he saw the man enter, he immediately turned around and bowed respectfully, "Vice-chairman, good day."
For this young man who had become a vice-chairman, this kind of treatment was very commonplace. He didn't even bother acknowledging the greeting and just leaned against the wall, "Continue."

See? The Congress really cares about this high-level guide. Almost every day, high ranking officials would come to inquire about the progress of the matter in person. Having to face different Congress officials every day, how could they not feel anxious?
Although they were 99% certain Noah wasn't the person they were looking for, they still hoped for a 1% miracle.
Unfortunately, they were destined to be disappointed. The value on the panel rose and then stopped. The final result, like the existing information on Noah's file, was that he had level two spiritual power.
The people present were very disappointed. Chi Zhao sat up and glanced at the recorded value next to him. There was a trace of untold satisfaction in his expression.
The vice-chairman raised a brow but didn't say anything.
Now that all the tests were done and it was confirmed that Chi Zhao really wasn't the person they were looking for, Chi Zhao was free to leave.
Randomly bidding goodbye to the various staff, Chi Zhao left. As he left, he saw that there was another stranger standing by the door and that stranger's presence was very strong, almost as strong as Leo's.
Chi Zhao sensed something. He casually looked over and as expected, he saw a thick and venomous python sticking its tongue out at him.
Chi Zhao calmly turned his eyes back. After going out, he admired himself so much he was about to give himself three kowtows.
So amazing! If he saw such a big snake a hundred years ago, he would have freaked out on the spot but just now he didn't reveal anything except for cold sweat on his back. He was indeed someone who has experienced all sorts of storms and waves. He was amazing!
System: "..."
After experiencing all sorts of storms and waves, why have you not fixed this boasting problem of yours?
....
Chi Zhao wanted to hurry and pick Joey up but when he turned around a corner to find the elevator, he suddenly felt a cold feeling coming from behind him. Chi Zhao's back shuddered. Sensing that his life was in danger, he immediately turned around and used his spiritual powers to resist the attack from behind. At the same time, he condensed part of the spiritual thread into sharp icicles and fired it ruthlessly at the attacker.
Although Chi Zhao was powerful, he had not received any special training. His icicles were fast, but the opponent was faster. The icicles grazed past the other party's face, leaving no wound at all. All it managed to do was slow the other person down a little.
It was a dark sentinel.
Chi Zhao's expression turned serious.
The one who had tried to attack him just now was the python he saw before going out.
Chi Zhao was stunned for a second before quickly realising that he had fallen into a trap. As his expression darkened, someone walked out from behind the corner.
The vice-chairman approached him while leisurely clapping his hands. He seemed to be in a very good mood, "That's why I said that there's no point doing those tests, they should just let me take action. When faced with a life or death situation, no one can truly hide themselves. Isn't that right my dear…..Noah?"
Before he said his name, the vice-chairman's expression drifted off for a moment, as if he was trying to recall Chi Zhao's name. Chi Zhao's expression was very poor, "You are despicable."
If he wasn't a high-level guide and he didn't fight back quickly enough, what would've happened? Chi Zhao's prompt reaction just now was because there was clear killing intent. At that time, this man really had the intentions to hurt him and didn't hold back hence successfully tricking Chi Zhao.
How confident was this person in himself? If something really went wrong, could he bear with the responsibility?
The vice-chairman knew what Chi Zhao was thinking but he was just so confident, he didn't even want to explain himself.
He just smiled slightly, "You were too careless."
To a certain extent, he was right. This was a government agency. The possibility of Chi Zhao encountering danger here was almost zero but he had acted solely on instinct and didn't stop to think.
No one likes falling into another person's trap, regardless of whether the opponent had malicious intentions or not.
Seeing that Chi Zhao's expression was becoming more and more unsightly, he could tell that he was really angry. The vice-chairman was able to quickly apologise, "Don't be like this. I just thought you were different from others, so I wanted to test it out. Who knew I would be successful? Could this be called…..fate?"
Chi Zhao frowned. He suddenly felt that those words were a little strange.
The vice-chairman was only promoted to this position earlier this year. Among the history of vice-chairman's, he was the youngest one, so he even looked a little unreal. Seeing that Chi Zhao was no longer looking at him with hostility, he immediately came over and said what he wanted to say.
"It has been a long time since I met a guide who can see my spiritual body. Even if I have met them before, I only felt that they were boring people. But you're different. I think you are very well-matched with my personality. Are you single? You wouldn't be using an inhibitor otherwise. Since you're single, why not try it with me? I am the vice-chairman here. If you join me, you can enjoy the most freedom you can possibly get, and I also won't let anyone hurt you or use you. You also won't need to hide yourself anymore."
Chi Zhao looked at him expressionlessly for many seconds, "No thanks. I'm not interested."
The vice-chairman had been sought after by others for too long and because he was also narcissistic, he had never managed to find a guide he liked so he didn't know how to pursue someone. Realising that he may have angered the other party, he scratched his head, "Don't turn me down so quickly. I can tell that your spiritual power is very strong. At your level, you should be with the best sentinel in the country. If the difference in strength is too great, your sex life wouldn't be harmonious."
Chi Zhao: "....."
Chi Zhao didn't want to stay with this person for even a second longer. He turned his head around and left but the vice-chairman was still chasing after him, "I'm serious. There aren't many dark sentinels who are still single and match your conditions. There's myself, Leopold the chairman and Major General Levi who was sent to Gamma Galaxy to watch over the mining processes there. You certainly wouldn't want to go to such a far place to become a military spouse would you?"
The vice-chairman was still a beautiful man when he didn't speak. Once he spoke, that image was completely ruined.
....
He chased after Chi Zhao the entire way. To avoid him, Chi Zhao didn't even take the elevator and went to find the stairs but the other party still persevered with chasing after him and his mouth never stopped. Suddenly, Chi Zhao's footsteps stopped. He turned around and looked back at the vice-chairman in confusion.
"You said just now that there are three people who match up with my conditions."
That topic was touched on a while ago, but Chi Zhao was suddenly mentioning it again. The vice-chairman was taken about for a moment, "Well, yes."
Chi Zhao's expression became even stranger, "Isn't there Chairman Grenoch? Why can't I be with him?"
The vice-chairman replied without much thought, "Do you even need to ask? Of course, it's because he's too old. He's already thirty-four and has reached the backlash period. Every day, he needs to rely on drugs to maintain his sanity. I'm different. I'm twenty-eight years old this year and very young, just like you."
Once done, the vice-chairman even winked suggestively at Chi Zhao.
…..
Chi Zhao was in a very complicated mood. He took a deep breath and spoke using the last of his patience left, "I'm sorry, I'm really not interested in you. My son is still downstairs, I need to pick him up. Goodbye."
Son??
The vice-chairman frowned and didn't have any intentions to listen. Instead, he continued to chase after him. Before he could walk down half a staircase, Chi Zhao ahead of him stopped moving and looked ahead with a stiff expression. The vice-chairman took another few steps, and finally saw the cause of Chi Zhao's reaction.
Please read this from kk translates
By the entrance of the stairs on the first floor, one big person and one small person was standing there. Both had the same expression on their faces and that was, there was no expression.
...
Chi Zhao didn't know when Leo came or how much he had heard let alone why Joey was standing there together with Leo and why Leo was holding Joey's hand.
Just now, he was busy dealing with the vice-chairman and had forgotten to check on Little Red's situation. But even if he forgot, why did the system also forget?
Hearing Chi Zhao's inner voice, the system quickly defended itself.
[I haven't forgotten. I was always watching.]
"Then why didn't you remind me?!"
[Such a good scene, why should I remind you?]
Chi Zhao: "..."
"Joey said he heard your voice, so I brought him out to look for you."
Leo's calmly explained why they were there and didn't mention anything else. Chi Zhao suddenly felt a little guilty, but he thought about it and felt that there was no reason for him to feel that way. The one who said that Leo was old wasn't himself anyway and the one who was trying to encourage cheating also wasn't him.
Pei! What cheating?! There was nothing going on the first place!
.....
Chi Zhao silently walked over and brought his son to his side. He then averted his eyes and didn't look at Leo, "Thank you, we should go now. Goodbye."
Chi Zhao had taken inhibitors so Leo couldn't smell him. Leo lowered his head and looked down at Chi Zhao's golden hair. He was silent for a few seconds before speaking again. His voice was low. It sounded like he was gently obliging but there was also a sense of disappointment.
"Okay, be careful."
In an instant, Chi Zhao's mood fluctuated. Little Red who was tucked in Joey's sleeve tilted its head. Before it could come out to check on the situation, it felt a gust of wind. Chi Zhao had walked off with Joey.
