Chapter 144: Zhuge Qing's Pointed Remark! Wang Ye is Numbed

However, one good thing is that Chen Duo has started to think about her own affairs.

Liao Zhong suddenly realized this, and after looking at Chen Duo earnestly, he nodded.

"That works, but since you've lost your methods, you can only rely on the Qi in your body; you need to learn some other means."

Liao Zhong hesitated for a moment.

Chen Duo could be considered someone whose background and situation he knew well.

Even if she doesn't work as a Temporary Worker in the future, being a normal employee would be fine too.

It could just happen to serve as a transition.

In this way, after she adapts in the future, if she wants to leave the Company, he won't stop her.

Hearing Liao Zhong agree, Chen Duo also let out a sigh of relief, lowered her head again, and took the phone from Feng Baobao's hands.

"Well then, Xiao San, Xiao Si, we won't stay any longer; we're heading down the mountain now, and we'll apply with the Company side before heading back."

Liao Zhong didn't intend to stay on the mountain for long.

"Now?"

"Yeah."

"That's fine!"

Xu San and Xu Si didn't stop them upon hearing this.

"Let's go, Chen Duo."

Liao Zhong called out, and Chen Duo stood up and put away her phone upon hearing him.

"Remember my number, let's play games together later."

Feng Baobao raised her hand to wave, and Chen Duo nodded.

After seeing Liao Zhong and the other off, Xu Si sighed.

"Lao Liao can finally relax this time!"

"Yeah, but as for us..."

The two looked at Feng Baobao and sighed in unison.

The secrets Feng Baobao carries are too great.

Not only great, but numerous.

Just the fact that she doesn't age alone—if that were exposed, there's no telling what kind of waves it would stir up.

Plus, Feng Baobao might also be related to the Jiashen Rebellion.

The fact that Zhang Huaiyi could call Feng Baobao by name directly basically explains all of this.

There's no telling what things will develop into in the future.

"How about..."

Xu San suddenly spoke up.

"What? You want to place Bao'er by that person's side too, so that even if it's exposed later, outsiders wouldn't dare do anything? How can you be sure that person would take her in? Furthermore, how can you be sure that if the other party finds out about these things, they won't have their own ideas?"

"I haven't even said anything yet!"

Xu San's face turned black.

"The moment you stick your butt up, I know what kind of fart you're going to let out!"

Just as Xu Si finished speaking, he received a punch to the eye.

Seeing Xu San beat up Xu Si, Feng Baobao didn't help, but instead squatted to the side to cheer them on.

Listening to the commotion coming from outside, Zhang Chulan tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Forget it, if it's social death, then so be it; it's not the first time anyway.

After all, back in school, he had run around with his butt bare, and someone had even filmed it and posted it online.

He had already gotten used to it back then.

Zhang Chulan lay on his bed, looking up at the unlit lamp on the ceiling.

It was mainly because as the competition ended, he was becoming increasingly nervous.

Feng Baobao had helped a great deal.

But his next opponent would be either Zhang Lingyu or Feng Xingtong.

Whether it was Zhang Lingyu's Lightning Method or Feng Xingtong's strange techniques, both were astonishing.

Although he had hidden a portion of his strength, he had no confidence when facing either of them.

If he won, perhaps he would truly learn his grandfather's secrets and the reason why he had been hiding his identity and moving around ever since he could remember.

But even if he knew these things, what could he do?

His thoughts were a tangled mess; the sounds of the scuffle outside faded and finally returned to silence, but he couldn't sleep.

It wasn't until the next day that Zhang Chulan emerged with two dark circles under his eyes, and then he saw Xu Si, who also had panda eyes.

It wasn't until the next day that Zhang Chulan came out with two dark circles under his eyes, only to see Xu Si, who had identical panda eyes.

Seeing Zhang Chulan's appearance, Xu Si was amused and raised a hand to greet him.

Seeing Zhang Chulan's appearance, Xu Si chuckled and raised a hand to greet him.

Zhang Chulan replied listlessly.

"Don't worry, Bao'er will forfeit directly in today's match!"

"Yeah, don't worry, my acting skills are very good!"

Feng Baobao, who had also gotten up, nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

"That's good then, Sister Bao'er, I'm counting on your acting!"

"That's good, Sister Bao'er, it all depends on your acting!"

Zhang Chulan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

After tidying everything up, Xu Si led the two of them to the competition grounds.

There were clearly far fewer people today than in the previous two days.

It was still quite lively, though.

"Old Qing, didn't you say you planned to head down the mountain? You're still not leaving today?"

Wang Ye greeted him and said.

"I did plan to leave, but the things that happened on Longhu Mountain were too outrageous, so I stayed to watch; it doesn't delay anything anyway."

Zhuge Qing narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Ye as he spoke.

"That's true, this counts as broadening my horizons; all that purple Qi and the lightning tribulation on Longhu Mountain—you wouldn't see that once in a lifetime, yet I saw it all this time."

Seeing this lazy appearance of Wang Ye, Zhuge Qing opened his eyes slightly and sized Wang Ye up.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Wang Ye naturally noticed Zhuge Qing's gaze.

"Nothing, I was just thinking about your methods, Old Wang!"

Zhuge Qing averted his gaze upon hearing this, then said.

"What?"

"Your methods aren't the methods of Wudang Mountain; they are that thing, the same thing as the Origin of Qi, right?"

Zhuge Qing's tone was calm.

Wang Ye's expression shifted.

"I can tell, do you think those seniors with more experience can't tell?"

With Zhuge Qing saying this, Wang Ye felt his body start to itch.

"Don't tell me you didn't think about this when you made your move."

Noticing the change in Wang Ye's expression and posture, Zhuge Qing turned his head in surprise, his face full of shock.

"Don't say it, I really didn't think that much!"

Wang Ye gave a bitter smile upon hearing this.

"It's too late for that now; it's useless for you to know it now, and being stubborn is no use. Since you can overpower our family's Marquis Wuhou's Strange Gates, no one will listen even if you try to argue."

The more Zhuge Qing spoke, the uglier Wang Ye's complexion became.

Seeing Wang Ye like this, Zhuge Qing also shut his mouth and stopped making a sound.

Meanwhile, on the front spectator stand, some seniors began to take their seats.

Lao Tianshi pushed Tian Jinzhong as they appeared.

Lin Xuan arrived shortly after, bringing Qing Bai Er She with him.

Fang Dongtian swayed as he walked, with Liu Xingyang and Huang Ming following behind him.

"Senior Brother!"

Seeing Lin Xuan, Huang Ming raised his hand to greet him.

"You little monkey, be quiet."

Fang Dong said.

Huang Ming stuck out his tongue, then made faces at Lin Xuan from behind Fang Dongtian.

"Junior Brother!"

Liu Xingyang also nodded and called out.

"You haven't gone back yet?"

Lin Xuan looked at the two and asked.

"Ah?"

Huang Ming was stunned, "Since Senior Brother and Grandmaster haven't left, how could Senior Brother and I leave?"

"That's true, but you must work hard when you go back this time!"

Lin Xuan nodded and said.

Huang Ming's face turned bitter all of a sudden.

"Senior Brother, either you or Senior Brother Liu could easily win with a single move; you insist on making me go up, and since my strength is so weak, isn't it normal for me to lose!"

"Enough, you little brat, being able to manifest a Yang Spirit at this age is already quite good!"

Fang Dongtian waved his hand.

The two stood behind Fang Dongtian, looking at Lin Xuan who had also sat down.

"Grandmaster, we'll talk about the Pill when we get back; you'll likely need to go into seclusion then, so we'll discuss the specifics after we return."

"Fine, you decide!"

Fang Dongtian nodded upon hearing this.

Lao Tianshi glanced sideways at Lin Xuan's side.

"It's fine to eat here, and it wouldn't be impossible to go into seclusion on Longhu Mountain."

"The main thing is that I don't know how long it will take."

Lin Xuan replied upon hearing this, without offering too much explanation.
