When disaster struck, I became a big shot surviving in the ocean.-Chapter 325 - 225: The Truth About a Corner of the Ruins_3
This was the first time Chen Qing met Shi Fangtu, and it wasn’t very pleasant.
At just one encounter, the Law Enforcer’s sword was already pressed against the neck of Li Duo, one of the vice presidents of the Mechanical Association.
Facing these intruders who had disturbed their master’s rest, the Law Enforcers were not polite at all, and directly started fighting with them.
Even the Mechanical Tree sided with the Law Enforcers.
Chen Qing’s previous communication with the Mechanical Tree seemed to have given the Mechanical Tree some wrong misunderstandings.
"What’s the situation with this thing!"
Li Duo, seeing the appearance of the Law Enforcers and drastically changing her facial expression, looked very unfriendly.
Li Duo, who had just emerged from the Mechanical Relics, was now so jittery that any little movement could startle her.
The Law Enforcers felt too much like a Mechanical Creature coming out of the relics.
She subconsciously thought that Chen Qing must also be a member of the blue team now.
"Chen Qing couldn’t possibly also——"
"He won’t." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
Xia Li shook her head, Chen Qing didn’t look up to Yulandi and his people, and of course, she didn’t look up to them either.
"What is it?"
Chen Qing stood on the trunk of the Mechanical Tree, looking down at the people below, and asked coldly.
"I want to ask you some things."
As soon as Chen Qing appeared, and the Law Enforcer also stepped aside at her command and sheathed his sword, Li Duo’s tone became slightly softer.
However, she still sounded rather impolite, as if she was very entitled.
Maybe it was because she had been in a high position for too long, besides Xia Li and another vice president, everyone else gave Chen Qing a sense of superiority.
It was as if speaking to her was a kind of favor to her.
If the Mechanical Association was filled with such people, then it deserved to be destroyed.
Chen Qing didn’t answer Li Duo’s question but instead looked towards Xia Li.
Xia Li had already felt something was off when Li Duo began to speak, and sure enough...
She too was quite helpless.
The disaster at the Mechanical Relics not only resulted in the loss of most of the Mechanical Association’s core forces.
It also led to the death of many School Mechanics of that time, including the then president, a vice president, and even Cangming Mechanics.
This led to a gap in the Mechanical Association’s succession.
Just like the Water-color Clan of Jade Island, there was no smooth transition of power, and the successors simply didn’t have adequate ability.
Compared to the previous leaders of the Mechanical Association, Shi Fangtu and the others were indeed much inferior.
Xia Li and Shi Fangtu were somewhat like school sisters, both students of the old president.
But strictly speaking, Shi Fangtu and the others were direct disciples of the old president, whereas Xia Li was a regular student.
After the old president passed away, their relationship actually improved quite a bit, and Shi Fangtu was receptive to suggestions from Xia Li, her junior sister.
This might be related to the old president’s last wishes.
However, as they were not cut from the same cloth, Xia Li could only offer them advice.
When the older generation was around, both the Mechanics and the Mechanical Association were quite strong in the Deep Blue Sea, and even had a good reputation, capable of competing with established families.
The current Mechanical Families were being severely suppressed by the Association.
If the old president hadn’t died, Xia Li might have taken over some of the old president’s powers or gone to the Scarlet Sea Domain.
Instead of being like when Chen Qing first met Xia Li, staying in Sapphire Island as an island mechanic.
Xia Li glanced at Shi Fangtu, silently reminding her.
"Li Duo."
Shi Fangtu, receiving the non-verbal cue from Xia Li, spoke up aloofly, calling Li Duo back.
Chen Qing looked at the group below, finding them quite amusing.
From their positions, it was clear to analyze the camps of these people: a line of just seven people had somehow been divided into four distinct camps.
The Mechanical Association was truly a mess.
"Chen Qing."
Shi Fangtu looked up at Chen Qing, her voice still cold.
"On behalf of the Mechanical Association, I thank you for everything you have done for the Association, and hereby grant you the title of Honorary Mechanical Tutor of the Association."
"No thanks."
Chen Qing was equally cold, not wanting to have any relations with the Mechanical Association.
If it weren’t for her slightly better relationship with Xia Li, Chen Qing wouldn’t have notified the Mechanical Association at all.
Honestly, the complete mechanization of Mechanical Civilization wasn’t harmful but rather beneficial to top Mechanics like Chen Qing.
Chen Qing leaped down from the tree, landing smoothly on the ground.
"I’m leaving."
After speaking, Chen Qing nodded to Xia Li and left straight away.
"You——"
Li Duo started to speak in an attempt to mock Chen Qing, but was silenced by a look from Shi Fangtu and dared not say more.
As Chen Qing left, the Law Enforcer naturally followed her.
But unexpectedly, the Mechanical Tree and other Mechanical Creatures in the tree also left with Chen Qing.
"Wait a second."
"This guy, you can’t take it!"
