Chapter 13

~8 min read 1,512 words

Xu San was ashamed and explained in a low voice: "The Ten Elders represent the most authoritative existence in the world of extraordinary beings, and each one possesses a powerful background and strength."

He could see that this senior was very good at fighting, but what is the use of being good at fighting in modern society? Can an extraordinary being fight a nuclear weapon? To mix in society, one must have power and background!

The Ten Elders have never existed independently; they have countless disciples and followers behind them, which is a huge united front value.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xian smiled slightly and clapped his hands: "That's simple. I'll just go and challenge a few halls, won't I? Doesn't Na Hu rely on being able to fight to enter the Ten Elders?"

It's not that fists are useless, but that your fists are not big enough.

In the Shrouding Heavens universe, I am submissive; in the world of *The Outcast*, I strike with heavy fists!

Xu San was sweating profusely and hurriedly explained: "Senior, this is a society ruled by law; we cannot involve normal people."

"Don't worry, I'm not a murderous person." Lin Xian said in surprise: "Do I look like the kind of demon who slaughters normal people?"

"Definitely not." Xu San was startled and said decisively: "Regarding your becoming one of the Ten Elders, I will report it to the leaders above when I go back."

"Besides that, is there anything else?"

"Help me get an ID card." Lin Xian thought for a while, then clapped his hands: "Oh, by the way, help me find a place to live, closer to you, so I can find you at any time."

"That's no problem!"

Xu San breathed a long sigh of relief. Rather than letting a powerful extraordinary being run around, it is safer to keep him under his own nose.

From the current contact, this powerful extraordinary being is not an antisocial personality, but rather someone who can communicate and has hope of reaching cooperation.

"May I ask for your name, Senior? How old are you? Where is your ancestral home?"

Xu San asked seriously: "These are all information that needs to be collected for an ID card."

"Lin Xian, twelve years old." Lin Xian looked at his slender palms and said playfully: "With my current appearance, even if you write one hundred and twenty years old, others won't believe it."

"As for my ancestral home, I am an Earthling."

"He really is an old monster who has been rejuvenated." Xu San muttered in his heart. Being able to know Zhang Xilin means he is at least over one hundred years old; he might really be one hundred and twenty.

Nado Tong Company, North China Branch.

"Bao'er, are you saying his Qi is very special?"

Xu Si, who looked like a hooligan, restrained his usual unrestrained manner at this moment, and his expression was a bit serious: "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

In the internal employee base, Xu San, Xu Four, and Feng Baobao sat on the ground in a circle.

"That's right."

The delicate girl scratched her butt, deliberately revealing a serious expression on her cute face, waving her arms and gesturing: "His Qi is very strange; sometimes it's very young, and sometimes it becomes old."

"It's like Sun Wukong's seventy-two transformations; he looks like a child in his teens, but also like a person in his twenties, and if you look closely, he looks like nothing at all, making people hard to fathom."

"Changing Qi." Xu San pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, emitting a sharp gaze: "Is there anything else special?"

"There is, there is!"

The girl jumped up instantly, made the action of an old man pushing a cart, and said word by word: "Old, farmer, planting, fields..."

"Bao'er, stop playing." Xu San covered his face and sighed: "In your memory, is there really no information about this old monster?"

"No!" Feng Baobao pouted and thought for a while, then shook her head very simply. A trace of seriousness appeared in her clear eyes, and she whispered: "However, he knows Zhang Chulan and Zhang Xilin; perhaps he also knows my family."

"Damn it!" Xu Si crushed the soda can on the table, took out a cigarette from his arms and put it in his mouth, angrily saying: "What kind of world is this? Didn't they say that after the founding of the country, no one is allowed to become a spirit? The Eight Miraculous Skills are one thing, but even these old monsters have jumped out."

"You are not allowed to smoke in front of Bao'er!" Xu San slapped him without mercy, knocking Xu Si to the ground.

"If I don't smoke, I won't smoke!" Xu Si covered his red and swollen face, saying the most cowardly words in the most ruthless tone, then changed the subject and muttered: "What about the three All-Sex people you brought back?"

"They were all taken away by that Senior Lin." Xu San pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and said in a flat tone.

"They were all taken away!" Xu Si's voice rose by more than a decibel in an instant, his eyes widened like bells, and he stood with his hands on his hips and scolded: "San, how did you handle things? You let people take them away just like that? Did you get my permission? I am the person in charge of the Great Region!"

"I am the one in charge!" Xu San retorted suddenly, then got up and walked to the side of the sofa to sit down. Under the sunlight, the lenses flashed with a faint light. He lowered his head and said in a faint tone: "Otherwise, what? Do you want to mobilize a modern army and bring heavy weapons to suppress him?"

"In a harmonious society, would the people above allow you to do that?"

"How many times has Zhao Zong said that maintaining stability is the most important thing."

"The meaning of Nado Tong's existence is not to support the righteous path, nor to exterminate the All-Sex. The company's purpose is: to maintain the balance and stability of the world of extraordinary beings and not let extraordinary beings interfere with society!"

"Forget it." Xu Si sneered, put his hands in his pockets, and teased: "In terms of rank, I am higher than you, and in terms of awareness, I am not worse than you. These words are okay to fool young people, don't fool your own people."

"Don't let extraordinary beings break the balance—I ask you, what about Prime Minister Zhuge, who is known as the greatest extraordinary being in the world?"

"Zhuge Kongming, who was only one step away from the legendary feathering and ascending to immortality, held the center of a country and commanded the entire Shu Kingdom."

"So, he died." Xu San said calmly, not arguing with Xu Si, but just stating a fact: "Although there are disputes in the world of extraordinary beings, there is one consensus: if Zhuge Liang could let go of his obsession, he might not have been unable to feather and ascend like Zhang Daoling or Lu Chunyang."

"However, he insisted on reviving the Yan Han and resisting the general trend of the Heavenly Dao, so he could only be crushed by the wheels of history."

"The pursuit of extraordinary beings is inner sagehood—one person ascending to the Immortal Platform; what is needed for governing a country is outer kingship—millions of people walking together. These are two diametrically opposed directions. Forcing them to merge is destined to collapse."

"Human energy is limited. If all your thoughts are used on governing the country, where is the time to cultivate and seek the Dao?"

"Prime Minister Zhuge and Zhang Jiao of the Taiping are the same."

"Isn't Jiang Taigong's difficulty in achieving the immortal Dao dragged down by the wealth of the human world?"

Xu Si was silent for a moment and suddenly asked: "Does that old monster have any plans for inner sagehood and outer kingship?"

"Not for now." Xu San shook his head and said: "He said he wants to be one of the Ten Elders and live near the company."

"Being one of the Ten Elders, huh." Xu Si thought for a while and said faintly: "I would rather he be a brute, wise and brave, with great plans."

"The world of extraordinary beings is going to have trouble again."

"Xu Si, what kind of joke are you telling?" Xu San slowly got up, walked to the window, reached out to catch some sunlight, and said in a low voice: "When has the wind in the world of extraordinary beings ever stopped?"

"If the world were peaceful, the company would not exist."

"Besides, he only took away the All-Sex and did not hinder us from questioning Xia He, Lu Liang, and Liu Yanyan."

"Xia He is also there?" Xu Si's face suddenly revealed a lewd smile: "Bone-Scraping Knife Xia He—this senior is truly old but not old at heart, hehehe..."
