Chapter Thirty-Three: Offering Some Compensation

"Where can I try it?" he asked.

"The lounge, or there's a small break room inside President Fu's office..."

Xiao Zhou had barely finished speaking when he was kicked by Qin Zhaoqing, who had come up from behind.

Gu Linzhou saw this, but simply carried his book and walked forward: "Then let's use my wife's office."

The group of employees following behind were stunned.

President Fu is married???

Fu Luoning had just stood up from his desk when Gu Linzhou walked in, followed by...

His friend betrayed his lord, he betrayed his friend, and he himself had betrayed Li Su. Cao Cao, in turn, used this to betray Zhou Yang, ultimately achieving his goal of unifying Hebei, and even the world. What did all of this really amount to?

On the other side, after Qin Hai and Xu Fangyun left Bafen Mountain, his phone kept receiving notifications. Aside from numerous missed calls, there were many messages—all of them almost exclusively from Lin Qingya and the others trying to reach him.

The two leading the way were none other than the Great Elder and the Fourth Elder of the Yuncang Tribe. They held high status within the tribe, but at this moment, they were merely serving as guides for the dozen or so people behind them.

His words did not put anyone at ease. Although they did not know his current physical condition, nor what had just transpired between him and the youngest member, the mutual strangeness and the awkward beginning left the room’s atmosphere feeling stagnant.

"Then—then come to our medical department, Feng Qing. I will absolutely teach you everything I have learned in my life. You will certainly become the most outstanding medical student at Jianghai University," Professor Qian said, suddenly agitated.

Zhou Yang himself knew very little, and not wanting to play along with this well-meaning man, he only mentioned the construction of the Xudu Palace and the Han Ding Bank in Luoyang.

Some who were particularly lucky happened to occupy the spots where the nine channels extended to the lakeside.

Judging by both her tone and expression, Zhou Yang could conclude that she had already been inside once before.

Zhu Qiyun fought with increasing regret. When he previously dueled the Daoist Youyin, the opponent had merely destroyed one spirit sword and damaged a protective spirit treasure. Now, he had not only lost his set of flying swords and the Biyang Spirit Blade he had just acquired, but a protective spirit treasure and the Qingyang Spirit Rope were both damaged as well.

After a long while, he recalled seeing her a few times when he had infiltrated the inner palace, though they had never been introduced. Still, he could not be certain if she was one of Empress Dowager Guo's people.

As for Xiao Zhixi, he couldn't catch his breath, and his words were stuck in his throat, making him feel incredibly uncomfortable.

"Bang!" Jiang Tianyu’s figure swayed, his face pale, lips purple, and feeling extremely weak, he collapsed directly to the ground, his eyes unfocused and his body limp.

Shan Jinyu did not want to tell Chu Anle about those processes one by one, fearing she might think he was too violent.

So, without hesitation, he had the four peak-god-level treasures activate the teleportation array. He then teleported directly and used flames to incinerate the robed figure. As for the divine sword and treasures inside the space ring on the robed man, he had no concerns; his flames were certainly not capable of melting those items.

There were two guest rooms downstairs. Jinghuan was staying in one, and just now, Su Jin had tidied up the other one for Han Tong to sleep in.

"Would you have called for help if you'd come out earlier? If you didn't call for help, how would I know you were afraid? Since you know what fear is, let's see if you dare to venture into the world alone again next time." Han Jin's voice was as still as a calm lake, his handsome face composed and indifferent. Yet, this unflappable expression made Mu Xiaoluo want to punch him.

Jiang Tianyu felt that if his body hadn't been harboring old injuries, and if he had had enough time to study, his grades wouldn't have been so poor.

However, Xiaoluo distinctly remembered that the soil Jinqiu had dug into wasn't very deep at all. Logically, shouldn't snakes hibernate in deeper soil? How could she have found this on the shallow surface of the soil?

Before long, the sky turned completely grey. Not long after, a clap of thunder suddenly struck, accompanied by lightning. Chu Anle looked up at the sudden change in weather, her mood becoming unavoidably irritable.

"Fine, fine, fine! Two hundred thousand it is!" Young Master Duanmu gasped in pain, then took out a spirit card and handed it directly to Chu Anle.

When the time came, with this footage and the stolen goods, it would be a case of catching the thief in the act, allowing them to bring the criminal to justice.

A great burst of wild laughter erupted from the direction of the Blue Robe Sect of the Yundun Kingdom. Many blue figures were already laughing so hard they were clutching their stomachs and falling to the ground.

But it was fine now. Not only had he cleared out a large area of mercenaries, he had also broken free from their entanglement. Now, he only needed to unleash his finishing move once more, and if he did it a few more times in succession, all the mercenaries present would be reduced to dust and turned into experience points.

Energy arrows flew swiftly into the sky, transforming into thousands of arrows in mid-air before raining down upon the Flying Cloud Sky Pirates.

"Useless?" Sima Xiaoyao was startled, watching in confusion as the flickering shadows surrounded the two of them. During this time, cold, violent auras kept wafting over, causing his heart to shudder and sending shivers down his spine.

He hadn't expected to test how difficult it was to gain merit, only to have it turn out like this.

Although Tian Mo was overjoyed inside, he didn't show it on the surface. However, Young Master Bai seemed to be deep in thought. The Nine Doors, the Nine Divine Trials—what was the connection between them? Could this place be one of them too? That couldn't be, could it?

Although this wasn't a labyrinth, it was still full of twists and turns. Who could have imagined the interior of this "mountain" would be like this?

As he spoke, he thrust his foot out, kicking the Cangyan Battle Staff. The staff spun and was caught in his hand, stabbing straight at the murderous Xiang Yu.

Whenever he came out of the subject, as long as she could make it in time, Meng Xinyao would wait for him at the entrance.

With a "slap," Fang Shijie covered his head, feeling pain worse than falling from a tree. When he turned back to see who it was, he didn't dare to utter a sound.

Regardless of whether that desolate mountain across the way was the tomb of the Demon Saint or not, Lin Yi was determined to take it.

However, a master from the Wu family strode out. With one palm, he conjured a galloping horse, a massive steed that charged toward the master who was flying past.

"Qin Feng—that’s the commander-in-chief of the Great Tang, General Huben, Qin Feng. He told me himself." The scout repeated, speaking with absolute certainty.

Because in doing these things, they would truly achieve some genuine changes, and through these actions of these people, the impact on him would indeed become even greater.
