Gongsun Qi was born in the Gongsun family, a martial arts family in Luohe. He was also taught by Shenlong Kunming. With a profound family background and great talent, he achieved extraordinary success at a young age. This made him arrogant and thought that all heroes in the world were just ordinary.
Gongsun Qi found it hard to accept when his master praised Fang Yan and said, "This boy is extremely dangerous, and the threat he poses is far greater than when Qinglong was at his peak." He also warned him, "When working with him, you must be extremely cautious."
"Master, you shouldn't help others to gain more confidence and destroy your own prestige. I admit that Fang Yan is a little clever, but I'm afraid it's hard to convince your disciple that he is better than Mo Qingdi at his peak. Mo Qingdi is a master of the Heavenly Dao Realm. Before Master defeated him, he was unrivaled in the world. Fang Yan could only rely on the Heart of Tai Chi, but now after Master's test, the Heart of Tai Chi has become a dead fetus. With such a realm, what is there to be afraid of? It's fine if he doesn't provoke me, but if he dares to do those annoying little actions in front of me again, I will draw my sword and kill him."
Gongsun Qi really hated Fang Yan this time. Fang Yan had repeatedly provoked him in front of his master, but he was unable to humiliate him severely, and in the end, his master had to do it himself. He felt very suffocated and could not vent his anger.
"Strength does not only refer to martial arts training." Kungu Ming knew his apprentice's mentality very well, and said with obvious warning: "This boy is very scheming, and he has the ability to kill people invisibly while talking and laughing. I am not worried about you confronting him head-on. But going out on a mission is inherently dangerous. If he uses extraordinary means against you during the mission, how can you resist? He can make you lose your mind with just a few words, and his conspiracies and tricks are probably hard to guard against. "
"He doesn't dare to fight me head-on, and only uses those shameful little tricks. I look down on this kind of person." Gongsun Qi sneered. "However, since Master thinks he is difficult to deal with, I will naturally be careful when carrying out the mission, so as not to capsize in the ditch and make people laugh-----"
"That's great." Kunming nodded.
Gongsun Qi thought of something else and asked, "Master, did you send tea to Fang Yan to test Fang Yan's ability?"
Kunming looked puzzled and said softly, "This boy's state is quite strange. His Tai Chi heart is clearly dead, but there is a hot current flowing in his body, as if he has gone crazy -"
"Maybe he has a cold and a fever." Gongsun Qi said sarcastically. He was not afraid of Fang Yan, not Fang Yan who had the Tai Chi Heart, and even less Fang Yan whose Tai Chi Heart became a stillborn child.
"I hope so."
He tapped his hard-working fingers lightly on the table and closed his eyes to take a nap.

After leaving Shenlong Courtyard, Fang Yan's arms hidden in his sleeves began to tremble slightly.
I had been holding it in just now, but now I can't bear it anymore.
Shenlong's Kung Fu was unfathomable. He just flicked it lightly with his fingers, and when he stretched out his hand to catch it with all his strength, he was still shaken by the teacup.
Qingniao walked behind Fang Yan and noticed something strange about Fang Yan's arm, but didn't say much.
When Fang Yan spoke, he felt hateful; when Fang Yan was silent, he felt scary.
When they reached a three-way intersection, Fang Yan didn't know which direction to go. Qingniao walked up quickly and said to Fang Yan, "I'll lead the way."
Fang Yan looked at Qingniao's graceful figure and followed her into a small red building.
The small building is quiet and deserted.
Bluebird swiped a black card at the door of the small building, and the glass door immediately shrank to both sides.
Going further, there is another glass door. I swiped the card again, and the glass door slid upwards. There was no trace of its existence.
The bluebird stopped at the elevator door. There was no button on the elevator.
The bluebird swiped its card on a red dot, and a silver hole appeared on the wall.
Bluebird put his eyes close to do a retinal scan, and then there was the "ding-dong" sound of the elevator door opening.
Qingniao walked into the elevator and Fang Yan followed closely behind.
The elevator whooshed downward and stopped after a few seconds.
clang-----
The elevator door opened, revealing a spacious lobby.
There were many people practicing with equipment in the hall, and two men were fighting fiercely on the ring.
Fang Yan glanced over there and saw a man with pigtails breaking the arm of a bald strong man.
Qingniao did not take Fang Yan to the hall, but took him to a remote passage.
At the door of a silver steel office, Bluebird glanced at Fang Yan and said, "Wait a moment."
The bluebird knocked on the glass door, and it opened.
Qingniao stood at the door and saluted in a standard military manner, saying, "Commander, Fang Yan is here."
"Please come in, Fang Yan." A calm male voice came over.
Qingniao stepped aside and Fang Yan walked past her.
The room was spacious, but the decoration seemed extremely simple. There was a desk, an office chair, and a computer on the desk. Behind him was a row of bookshelves with a few books on them.
Apart from this, there were no other objects in the room.
Sitting on the office chair is a middle-aged man wearing glasses. He has a kind face and his smile is as warm as a spring breeze.
Although it was the first time they met, Fang Yan was not unfamiliar with this man because he often saw this familiar face on TV.
The man sat on the chair and looked at Fang Yan with a smile on his face. He didn't say hello to Fang Yan, nor did he ask him to sit down. Of course, there were no extra chairs in the room.
After a long while, the man finally spoke: "When I first met him, he was as young as you. He was handsome and arrogant. At that time, I joked that he was the most handsome man in our Xuan Department. Now when I see Fang Yan, I feel the same way as when I met him. What a handsome and elegant young man."
With the young leader praising him so highly, Fang Yan couldn't remain silent any longer.
He bowed respectfully to the chief, smiled and said, "Thank you, chief. I am not as good as you, senior brother."
"Each of us has our own merits." The young leader's eyes were always examining Fang Yan's face and body, and he said, "But there are indeed some differences between you two. At least in terms of personality. When I praised him so much for underestimating the enemy, he accepted it with pleasure. He is not as humble as you."
Fang Yan laughed again and said, "So, I am not as good as my senior brother."
The young leader smiled and shook his head, saying, "Fang Yan, your entire resume from the time you were born until you walked into this office just now is all in my computer. I've studied it for a long time, so I have a certain understanding of you, right?"
If someone else said this, Fang Yan would not believe it. But when this young leader said this to him, Fang Yan knew that there was no truth in it. He wanted a person's information, and it was just a matter of a word.
"I hope I didn't disappoint the commander." Fang Yan said in a deep voice. No jokes at this time. No jokes should be made in such occasions.
"I'm not disappointed." The young leader said with a smile. He pushed the chair away and stood up, walked to Fang Yan, looked closely at Fang Yan who was a head taller than him, and said: "And he is much better than I thought. Even better than Mo Qingdi when he was young - maybe in terms of martial arts, Qingdi is better than you. That's just because Qingdi is more attentive than you, and devotes himself to the pursuit of martial arts. And you - sometimes I am really curious, what's your mind like? The things you have experienced, the way you deal with crises, really make people admire you sincerely."
The young leader glanced at Bluebird and said, "You already know where this place is, right?"
"I know." Fang Yan nodded. "Qingniao introduced her to me on the way. She is a very considerate person. This is Xuanbu. I have heard of her great name a long time ago, and my heart is still surging with excitement."
Qingniao looked at Fang Yan with gratitude. When the young leader asked that question, Qingniao's heart almost jumped out. She was responsible for picking up people, and originally had the responsibility to introduce relevant matters to them. But because she was full of hostility towards Fang Yan, she kept delaying and not fulfilling this responsibility. Later, after entering the Red Wall, she met the Shenlong Master and Apprentice, and this matter was delayed even more.
She thought that according to Fang Yan's personality, he would definitely flatter her in front of the young leader, but she didn't expect that not only did he not do that, but he also said a few good words to her.
This man is really a strange guy.
"Yes, this is Xuanbu-----" the young leader said. "I have been in charge of Xuanbu's work for many years, including the affairs related to Yanziwu. However, Yanziwu is a special place, and there are many times when we still need Comrade Nianyou to communicate. So, on behalf of Xuanbu, I welcome you to join us."
The young leader's "younger comrade" is the old leader that Mr. Fang Yan had met, because the old leader is mainly responsible for the work of the military. In fact, the nature of his work overlaps with that of the young leader in some places.
Yanziwu is not under the jurisdiction of the Xuan Department, and most of the time it works closely with the military. On some special matters, it also works with the Xuan Department. Yanziwu is under the dual leadership of the old and young leaders. Of course, it also runs parallel to the military and the Xuan Department, and is an independent entity.
The affairs inside are complicated, and even Fang Yan can't figure it out now.
"It's my honor. I would also like to thank the chief for his previous assistance. Yanziwu will always remember it." Fang Yan said gratefully.
The young leader naturally knew what Fang Yan was talking about, and said, "Someone has crossed the line, so of course we have to kick him back - but it's just a joke between children, don't take it to heart."
"Yes." Fang Yan agreed, thinking about the meaning of the young leader's words.
The young leader glanced at the time on his watch and asked in confusion, "Where's Gongsun Qi? Wasn't he not notified?"
Gongsun Qi had just had a conflict with him, so naturally he was unwilling to follow behind him to meet the young leader.
Hearing the young leader's question, Fang Yan pretended to be casual and said, "When I came here, Mr. Shenlong and Brother Gongsun invited me to have tea in the courtyard. Brother Gongsun should be here soon, right?"
Qingniao's heart sank, but he did not look into Fang Yan's eyes.
This guy kills people without being noticed, he is definitely not a good person. (To be continued)
