Hunting God Era

Chapter 179 Graduation
After leaving the Lake Dragon Palace, Li Ye notified his family and headed home.

It was the same old neighborhood. When he arrived home on his motorcycle, his parents had prepared a table full of dishes.

With a hopeful look on her face, Liu Qingxia, the mother, asked, "How did you do on the exam? Are you confident about getting into Dingwu?"

"Your question is unnecessary."

Li Haihua said cheerfully, "Xiao Ye is already so capable, passing the top martial arts exam will be a piece of cake for him, right? No problem, right?"

That's what he said, but his tone still held a sense of expectation.

"The exam just finished, and the results haven't come out yet. But it should be a sure thing," Li Ye said with a smile.

There's no need to let Li Ye's parents know about the dangers of the early Yuan Dynasty, nor is there any need to tell them about his formal transfer to the elimination of evil spirits after reaching the top of the martial arts world. In Ningjiang, as long as Li Ye's family doesn't cause any trouble, they are still quite safe. Just let them continue living like this.

Li Ye glanced at the increasingly overweight Li Haihua and said, "Speaking of which, shouldn't we move to a new house? The old neighborhood is ultimately inconvenient, with too many people and too much attention."

During this period, Li Haihua gained a lot of weight because he no longer had to worry about money, and his work was going well. He was doing a job he liked, so over time he naturally became more relaxed and physically heavier.

"Moving to a different house."

Li Haihua thought for a moment and sighed, "I've lived here for so many years, it's hard to leave all at once. Let's change places, let's do as you say."

We should still support our son's job. We can't help him much, but we also can't make things worse. Since he took the initiative to ask for a change, he must have his reasons.

“Okay, then leave it to me. You don’t need to worry about the decoration. Once you’ve chosen a style, someone will take care of it for you.” Li Ye chuckled.

"You can arrange it."

Li Haihua said, "Xiaoye, you're all set now that the exam is over, right? There's something I need to discuss with you. A few of your relatives have asked us for help; they want to start a small business."

After speaking, both of them looked at Li Ye with questioning eyes.

"How many relatives? Both the Li family and the Liu family?"

Li Yexin understood immediately; there was no escaping it. Ever since what happened during the New Year, something like this was bound to happen again.

Especially since he recently gave some of his assets to his parents, which put their minds at ease, some relatives who wanted to take advantage of the situation will inevitably come to ask for favors.

He wasn't resentful. He didn't have any ill feelings towards his peers, and he was even quite close to some of them. His elders had indeed helped him. Now that he had achieved success, it was time for his entire family to benefit as well. Li Ye didn't hesitate to help them too.

"Your aunt's family doesn't count; they went back to Yunhai and we've lost contact. It's mainly a few relatives in Ningjiang who helped you a lot when you were practicing martial arts."

Liu Qingxia said, "If you really feel it's difficult, we can decline."

"No problem, it's just doing some business. Anyone can do it, as long as they abide by the law."

Li Ye smiled and said, "I have profit-sharing rights and can make decisions about other industries here. I also own an aquatic products business, and I can also take on some mining business in Jinze. I can't enter the Demon Realm there, but I can still get involved in the chain outside the Demon Realm."

He can take over the assets left by the Ren family whenever he wants; he can simply take a share of the supply chain.

The aquatic products related to Hulong Palace are also managed by Sun Shun. It would be even easier to let him take a downstream link.

As for the Ningjiang martial artists entering the Demon Realm to mine and make a fortune, the entire Demon Realm was managed by Li Ye. Although he didn't want to monopolize it and knew that it was a win-win situation, it was naturally fine for him to let these people squeeze out a downstream chain.

"It's not a lot of money, maybe a million or two hundred thousand a year, but the key is long-term sustainability."

"That's enough, that's enough. How much is enough?"

At this point, Brigitte Liu felt sorry for him, saying, "This is already a bit too much."

"Mom, this isn't a direct gift; it's for starting a business. If it doesn't go well, there's nothing I can do. At most, I can offer some stability, but if you want to go further, you'll have to rely on yourself."

Li Ye smiled and said, "But if we do well, we can merge into one big family in the future."

They weren't exactly a prestigious family, but they lived a comfortable life, exchanged resources, and it was also suitable for the younger generation's martial arts development.

In Ningjiang, he can keep the town in check on his own, but he can't manage everything. If his family can grow stronger, they might be a great help in the future.

Li Ye didn't have such a high level of idealism as the dragon slayer becoming the dragon himself; when it was time for him to become the dragon, he wouldn't be immune to the common fate.

After resting at home for two days, Li Ye went to the disinfection bureau.

As soon as I entered the office, Huang Qingyi came to report. He first saluted, and then smiled and said, "It's been a few days, Director Li. You look radiant. You'll definitely pass the test."

"You're here to talk about this? Aren't you busy?"

Li Ye laughed and scolded, "Shouldn't you, Secretary Huang, be accepting banquets from all sides? You have time to come here and greet me."

"This is something that can only be done under your command," Huang Qingyi chuckled.

After the disinfection bureau was fully staffed, everyone was relaxed. Whether they were newcomers or veterans, they all lived comfortably in Ningjiang and Jinze. They were not deliberately made difficult by anyone, and the other party would always do their best to cooperate when there was a task. These two points alone made many of their colleagues envious.

As for encountering martial artists on ordinary days, being greeted politely, and receiving respect, that's secondary.

Unfortunately, the staff has already been filled, so there's no point in adding more. Otherwise, the sheer number of requests for transfers would have doubled the number of disinfection workers in both locations.

Li Ye chuckled and said, "I'm looking to move soon. I'll look for suitable properties. Safety is the most important thing, followed by comfort, including the renovation. You have a wide network of connections, so I'll leave this to you."

"Yes!"

Huang Qingyi responded seriously, then chuckled, "Director Li, it's time to move. That old neighborhood is too crowded and not safe. We're sure Ningjiang has a good system for dealing with demons, but it's always good to be safe just in case."

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and go. No matter how well the demons are controlled, they still need to be governed by humans, right? Don't try to cheat me."

Li Ye waved his hand, and Huang Qingyi scratched his head and stepped back.

Li Ye himself still had a large mansion, which Pan Zhengyang left to him, but it was his own private residence. If he were to cultivate in Ningjiang in the future, he would still need that place.

After Huang Qingyi left, Sun Shun and Zhong Chang came together.

"Director Li."

Zhong Chang greeted him, looking energetic and full of enthusiasm.

Since being transferred to Ningjiang, he has been at ease. There is no strange martial arts circle, and the status of the Elimination Bureau is exactly what he has been striving for. What could be worse?

Just get to work and that's it.

Originally, Jinze was temporarily managed by Li Ye, and the higher-ups wanted to transfer Zhong Chang back, but Zhong Chang strongly opposed it. At most, he would only serve as the head of the data section there to defy Li Ye's orders.

However, it is crucial to choose the right organization. Jinze may break free from Li Ye's control at any time, since ultimately, it all belongs to Shenzhou.

However, Ningjiang must be Li Ye's stronghold. His entire empire is based here. As long as Li Ye is alive, the situation in Ningjiang will not change.

Zhong Chang could maintain this status and position for his entire life, and he felt there was nothing wrong with that, since he was going to succeed Sun Shun anyway.

"You two have come at the right time. After I enter Dingwu, I will take complete control of the disinfection department. However, I may not stay in Ningjiang. You need to take good care of your families. If you have any problems, communicate with Director Pan. If all else fails, contact the provincial department."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Chang's expression changed. "Is it a complete transfer?"

Although the foundation will not change, it will still have an impact if someone is transferred.

Li Ye said, "I can't be transferred. These positions aren't for the strongest; they're for those with seniority. There's no need to transfer people in this world. The whole of China is so big; do you think I can kill them all by myself? That would only be a temporary solution."

"My position will remain the same, but I will probably have some additional responsibilities. It's just that sometimes when I'm not around, it will be easier for you to find someone else."

“That shouldn’t happen.” Sun Shun thought for a moment and said, “The situation in Ningjiang is unlikely to change. The martial artists in our city all remember your kindness and won’t change it easily.”

That's a very tactful way of putting it.

To put it simply, having a knife in one hand and money in the other inspires both fear and respect, so naturally nothing will change.

The martial artists of Ningjiang are closely connected not only because they made a fortune in the Demon Realm thanks to Li Ye, but also because Li Ye's martial prowess is absolutely dominant.

Isn't this peaceful and harmonious situation only possible because of the enormous price paid in bloodshed?
The stronger Li Ye becomes, the less likely his fears will come true.

As for the demons that cannot be stopped, if it really comes to that, it is the dereliction of duty of the entire extermination bureau, and they will be held responsible.

In the days that followed, Li Ye lived a simple life, working at the disinfection bureau and then going home. There was nothing for him to cultivate until the end of June when he was summoned to the school.

The results are in.

Unlike liberal arts students, whose results are based on the normal unified examination dates and are not yet available, there aren't many martial arts students. Those who don't participate in the joint examination and have reached a certain level have already chosen martial arts universities or have been approached by people from martial arts universities.

Only those who participate in the assessment need a result, so this process will definitely not be slow.

When he arrived at the school gate, he saw several banners.

[Warmest congratulations to Li Ye, a martial arts student, on entering a top martial arts university!]

[Warmest congratulations to Fu Chuxue, a martial arts student in this year's cohort, for gaining admission to a top-tier martial arts university!]

The two banners hanging at the top are the most eye-catching. Below them is the name of Yang Jie, who was also admitted to a top martial arts university. Further down are the names of Yao Ledan, Fei Zhishang, and other martial artists who entered the Four Dragons Gate and were admitted to key martial arts universities.

This included his friends, Deng Hao and Jia Dong.

Li Ye lent them the Lake Dragon Palace for cultivation, and with the addition of nutritional resources, they have now reached the Four Dragon Gates stage by focusing solely on foundation building techniques.

Upon seeing the banner, he shook his head, smiled, and walked into the school without saying a word.

He actually received his grades earlier than the school did.

I went to school purely to attend the graduation ceremony.

He deservedly took first place in this joint examination of eight provinces.

When he first entered the Yuan Dynasty, his badge and bracelet were damaged, but his previous achievements were enough.

He killed the 'Japanese chieftain Jiao' from the original Demon Realm, which, according to the rules, would have guaranteed him first place. Moreover, he had killed just as many demons as anyone else, so whether it was in terms of points or combat power, he was undoubtedly number one.

Unfortunately, this thing didn't inspire any sense of honor in him; he just treated it as ordinary.

Fu Chuxue ranked tenth, placing her in the top two hundred, thus gaining the right to choose one of the four top-tier universities.

"Li Ye!"

When they arrived at the martial arts training hall, the principal was already waiting there. Upon seeing Li Ye, he immediately went up to shake his hand and said excitedly, "I must say, thank you so much! You have really made us proud!"

Li Ye could have skipped the exam. Although the principal didn't know much about martial arts, he knew about disinfection. Most of the people here were graduates of martial arts universities, and he had already joined the company and become a bureau chief.

study?
Learn shit!
But they came to take the exam anyway, so we gave them plenty of face.

"You're too kind. Without your support, I wouldn't have gotten this far. I'm the kind of person who values ​​giving back the favor," Li Ye said with a smile.

"You're giving me too much in return. I'm not ignorant either. Don't worry, if any of your younger relatives come to school in the future, I know what to do." He smiled.

As for resource allocation, as long as it's not bad, allocating more resources is fine.

Besides, given Li Ye's current status, how could the martial artists associated with him be of low skill level?

"That's true. If you put it that way, I'll let them in."

Li Ye said, "Don't complain about being poor when the time comes."

"I'll sell everything I own to support them!" the principal laughed heartily.

Just having two of the top four universities is enough to boost their reputation. Once the summer break is over, the quality of the students they recruit will definitely be high, and they will also receive more resources from higher authorities.

After enduring three years, he suddenly became rich.

We can afford it no matter what.

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Ye and the principal entered the venue together, where it was already packed with people. Even the martial arts students who hadn't graduated yet had come. They were just divided into different classes, but the martial arts class itself didn't have this distinction, so they all participated in the ceremony together.

"Brother Ye!"

"Brother Ye, I did it!"

Deng Hao and Jia Dong arrived early and excitedly greeted Li Ye upon seeing him.

"Practice hard."

Li Ye smiled at them and said, "After graduation, you'll help me with the administration. There are many tasks waiting for you."

Deng Hao patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Brother Ye, I will definitely work hard."

Li Ye nodded and looked at Yang Jie, who was walking over, "You chose Jianghuai Longwu?"

"Yes."

Yang Jie said, "The arrangements are all made over there. I will enroll at Longwu School and then go directly to the disinfection internship."

"Work hard, and you won't be treated unfairly."

Li Ye was about to pat him on the shoulder, but he was too tall, so he could only pat his arm instead.

This time, Yang Jie spoke as an outstanding representative, while Li Ye himself had no interest in it, as for the other one...
Not long after Li Ye arrived at the venue, another person entered. It was Fu Chuxue. Ignoring the greetings from the others, she walked to Li Ye's side and asked:

"You're going straight to disinfection?"

Li Ye nodded.

"Then we won't be together."

Fu Chuxue said, "It's a pity there are no familiar faces left."

"You want to be with me?"

Li Ye raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you interested in disinfection?"

Fu Chuxue shook her head and said:

“I used to, but not anymore. Someone contacted me. After four years at the Martial Arts University and the Tianyuan stage, I will join a sect.”

She spoke with unusual certainty, as if it were only natural for her to enter the Three Realms and establish her Heavenly Origin.
Li Ye narrowed his eyes slightly. Sure enough, just like her father, this woman also had secrets.

However, he didn't intend to ask any more questions. Asking now would be useless, and he couldn't concern himself with that. He should just focus on his own affairs.

After the ceremony, he would be summoned by Pan Zhengyang to Yangcheng to serve as the deputy director.
