Chapter 18 Pangolin, Loyalty!
"Feng Baobao vs. Xiao Xiao, Feng Baobao wins!"
As soon as Yue Qing entered the arena, the voice of the referee from the Celestial Master's Mansion came from inside. As for the unexpected situation that occurred inside the arena, Yue Qing ignored it and went directly to one of the stands.
As the crowd dispersed, the referee from the Celestial Master's Mansion looked at Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing in the arena and said calmly, "Gentlemen, now that you've left the arena, there's no need to rush off. The next match will begin soon."
"It's our turn!"
Wang Ye glanced at one side of the stands, his lazy demeanor still present.
Compared to the former, Zhuge Qing looked at Wang Ye with a smile, seemingly puzzled. Following his gaze, it was clear that he understood something.
"Does Master Wang also have things to worry about?"
Wang Ye shook his head, but replied, "Zhuge Qing, have you... ever been defeated?"
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Qing raised an eyebrow slightly, then replied, "If we don't count the previous practice sessions with the elders of the clan, I haven't suffered a single defeat so far!"
Wang Ye nodded, no longer dwelling on the question, and asked again, "So, do you think you can accept your own failure? Like... a complete and utter defeat that negates your entire life?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the most talented member of the Wuhou School frowned and fell silent, seemingly pondering the deeper meaning of his words, before replying, "Before this competition began, I cast a divination for myself. The hexagram was strange, a double image: the upper image was a moth, easily extinguished; the lower image was a firefly, harboring great ambitions, vying with the moon for brilliance. Does Master Wang know what this means?"
Wang shook his head and remained silent.
"This means that among the younger generation participating in this Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, I, Zhuge Qing, will be defeated by two people." Zhuge Qing looked at the Taoist in front of him, his tone calm: "But based on my observations these past few days, apart from fellow sorcerer Wang Ye, even Zhang Lingyu is not among them for me. So, I changed my target to Taoist Yue Qing, and the result was terrible, a near certain death."
Upon hearing this, Wang scratched his head, not at all surprised.
You'd be lucky to beat someone who dared to fight even the Ten Elders!
On the stands, Yue Qing watched the two people in the arena, his mind racing.
Suddenly, Xu Si walked over with a cigarette in his mouth and a smile on his face, then handed over a connected phone: "Master Yue, the lady in charge of the Central China region needs to talk to you."
Head of Nadutong's Central China Region?
If Yue Qing remembered correctly, this woman was named Ren Fei. She was said to be a descendant of a founding father and had a very powerful background. Even Zhao Fangxu wouldn't dare to disrespect her.
But what did this woman mean by calling him?
Could it be that Wang Ai took the complaint somewhere else?
Or has his purpose in coming to Longhu Mountain been exposed, and this woman is trying to use him as a laborer again?
Yue Qing thought for a moment, then took the phone, her tone casual: "Sister Fei, this is Yue Qing. What's up?"
On the other end of the phone, Ren Fei replied irritably, "Well done, Master Yue! It's only been a few months, but your strength has grown considerably. I've heard you even beat up the Ten Elders!"
"That son of a bitch snitched on me!"
Don't try that on me.
The person on the other end of the phone paused slightly before saying, "I don't care about the 'Ten Elders' or anything like that. I just want to ask you one question: did you get advance notice and go over there to stake out someone?"
What the hell!
Is this woman a roundworm?
How could you guess that!
Ren Fei said, "Although I don't care about the Ten Elders, the company's attitude towards Extraordinary People has always been 'stability first.' If this relationship breaks down and causes panic among the general public, and the higher-ups hold us accountable, I might not be able to protect you then. Do you understand?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Qing remained silent.
Yue Qing knew all too well who Ren Fei was referring to.
The killing of Quanxing was a requirement given by the system for daily check-ins, and Lao Yue, his inner demon, handled it all. But Ren Fei had always been the one cleaning up the mess for him in other aspects; otherwise, given his record of killing a hundred people, the authorities wouldn't have let it go unpunished.
Yue Qing said, "I'm a monk, I would never do anything like fighting or killing, so Sister Fei can rest assured."
Ren Fei snorted coldly and asked about another matter: "What about that thing I asked you before, what's your decision?"
"To work as a temporary worker for the company?"
"I've given you the time; I need an answer!"
Yue Qing glanced at Zhang Chulan and the others on one side of the stands, his thoughts churning, before replying, "To be honest, Sister Fei, if I really go all out, can you protect me?"
This time, Ren Fei remained silent.
She has powerful connections, that's not a problem, but if Yue Qing really lets loose, frankly speaking, it will cause her a lot of trouble. It might even affect the temporary workers and other related personnel.
……
Meanwhile, in the Central China region, at the headquarters of Nadutong.
After hanging up the call with Yue Qing, Ren Fei stood up and looked out the window at the rows of steel buildings, her mind filled with thoughts.
Undeniably, Yue Qing is a talented individual.
However, his attitude toward Quanxing was a double-edged sword.
Logically speaking, given her connections, taking Zhao Fangxu's position shouldn't be difficult. However, dealing with Yue Qing is no easy task.
With this in mind, Ren Fei called over the temporary worker, Hei Guan.
"Big sister, what's up this time?"
"Go to Longhu Mountain."
"Isn't it inappropriate for me to be a master at my age?"
"Stop talking nonsense. I asked you to go over there so you can keep an eye on Yue Qing and make sure he doesn't do anything reckless."
Upon hearing this, Hei Guan's expression wrinkled slightly. He pointed to himself, looking puzzled, "Me? Go guard Yue Qing? Big sister, are you serious?"
Throughout Central China, who doesn't know that Yue Qing is your henchman?
I'm just a temporary worker, what right do I have to guard that pervert!
Ren Fei said earnestly, "I know the task is difficult, but if necessary, I'll give you two more days off after this, how about that?"
Brother Guan shook his head: "This isn't about whether or not I get a holiday. With my abilities, I can handle some other situations, but going to guard Yue Qing would be no different from courting death."
Ren Fei held up two fingers and said earnestly, "In addition to the holiday allowance, I'll add an extra 20,000 yuan as compensation!"
"On the other hand, this job... who else but me would do it!"
……
During the match, Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing fought fiercely, but to everyone's surprise, Wang Ye, a disciple of Wudang, was also a sorcerer. Moreover, he fought Zhuge Qing of the Wuhou School to a standstill, and even suppressed him in the later stages of the match, giving a victory speech.
"Damn, I didn't expect Master Wang Ye to be even more awesome than Zhuge Qing."
After watching the match, Zhang Chulan said, "With this level of skill, what can he use to fight tomorrow?"
"Sister Bao'er, are you skilled at burying people?"
"Of course, I'm very familiar with this business."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan smiled knowingly: "Sister Bao'er, then you'll have to work hard. You must make sure that Daoist Wang Ye doesn't see the sun rise in the arena tomorrow."
Feng Baobao nodded: "Okay, leave it to me!"
Pangolins, loyal!
