Hunting God Era

Chapter 23 Containment
Upon arriving at the disinfection bureau, Li Ye immediately knocked on the door of the section chief's office.

When Sun Shun saw him, his face immediately lit up with a smile.

After Li Ye sat down, he took out a cigarette and offered it to him. Just as he was about to light it, Sun Shun waved his hand, picked up a lighter, and got up to light it for him first.

Then he lit his own, took a satisfying drag, exhaled the smoke, and said with a smile, "Li Ye, what brings you here? Let's get this straight, a promotion is out of the question unless you join the company directly. I can give you the benefits, though. Did you give away your things at home? It's alright, I can handle that little thing."

In the few days since Li Ye started working, he's been giving out one to everyone he meets, so it's definitely not just one or two packs.

He, as a section chief, only received one carton of these specially supplied cigarettes at the end of the year. Only the bureau chief could smoke them in unlimited quantities. Li Ye's extravagant distribution meant that only the bureau chief could have given them to him.

With such a great honor, he, as the section chief, was even more sensible.

"It's enough for now, Section Chief. I'm here to ask about something else."

Li Ye smiled and asked, "Do you know the Ren family?"

Sun Shun paused for a moment while smoking, then flicked the cigarette twice into the ashtray. "Five Flavors Chopsticks?"

A person who becomes a section chief cannot be stupid.

Li Ye didn't hide anything; he always used those jade chopsticks that didn't get greasy when eating in the cafeteria. Even someone who didn't know much about food could tell that the chopsticks were extraordinary, let alone Sun Shun, who was very knowledgeable about them.

The incident involving the Five Plague Demons originated from them; anyone with eyes could guess that Li Ye must have obtained the magic weapon.

Li Ye, an ordinary person, could obtain a magical artifact, which must have been given to him by Director Pan. Therefore, he pretended not to know, showing awe and reverence for Director Pan without wanting to investigate.

"Yes, when I came here, I met a guy named Ren Xu who insisted on buying what I had and even investigated my house."

Li Ye asked, "What does this guy do?"

Sun Shun thought for a moment, took another puff of his cigarette, and said, "Just think of him as a rich kid."

Li Ye was taken aback. "A wealthy martial artist?"

Sun Shun nodded. "Don't blame our colleagues. Rich people are all resourceful. It's normal for them to be on good terms with some people. Maybe they just want to curry favor. Whether they do or not is up to you."

Li Ye looked at Sun Shun, "Section Chief, if it were you, could you refuse?"

Sun Shun shook his head and smiled: "My family has no power or influence, and I'm just a second-level Dragon Gate cultivator, not even as advanced as those first-level data clerks. If the offer is sincere enough, I might sell, but if I don't want to, that's fine too; the other party will give me that face."

As he spoke, he leaned back, making the Xie Zhi emblem on his back and above his head even more prominent.

That's because of the badge above.

"You don't need to worry. Whether you sell or not is up to you. In Ningjiang City, Director Pan still has influence, after all..."

He held up the cigarette in his hand and laughed, "This kind of specially supplied cigarette is rare in Ningjiang."

"I understand, Section Chief, thank you."

Li Ye said something, then got up and left.

Sun Shun smiled as he watched Li Ye leave. After the door closed, he flicked his cigarette ash and sighed, "Only Director Pan can really speak for him."

Li Ye walked down the corridor, glanced at the brightly lit area around him, and smiled sarcastically: "Wealthy families and powerful clans among martial artists?"

He wasn't surprised that such a thing existed; frankly, it wasn't something deeply hidden or mysterious.

Since he himself entered the world of martial arts and entered the Yilong Gate, he has noticed that his parents have become a little more confident lately. Like his classmate Deng Hao, if he achieves success in martial arts, coupled with his family background, he will also have influence.

Li Ye simply believed that these things wouldn't affect him, just like how ordinary people and rich people basically belong to two different worlds.

"So rich, yet they don't even bother to buy things sincerely. It's a classic case of looking down on people."

Li Ye shook his head and walked towards the first data room.

He didn't really care, after all, he had only become a disciple at noon and was learning a martial art that was about to be lost. Pan Zhengyang and his cheap master had a better relationship.

Pan Zhengyang can definitely protect him, but relying solely on Director Pan's name still feels somewhat superficial.

In the world of martial arts, one must become strong oneself to follow the right path. That evening, after finishing his meal in the cafeteria, Li Ye hurried home.

The fastest route from Xicheng District to Dongcheng District is, of course, the Jiangbian Avenue, which is also the route Li Ye is most familiar with.

I turned the electric scooter to 50 mph, and the river breeze ruffled my hair, making it a little frizzy in the sweltering heat.

When the rice arrives tomorrow, I can practice martial arts to my heart's content. Once my appetite 'naturally increases,' I can eat as much as I want.

Even with slow progress, he felt he could still advance to the third level within two months.

And then there was my senior year of high school.
As long as he passes the general knowledge exam at the Seven Dragons Gate, he can get into a top martial arts university.

He doesn't even need to study for his general knowledge grades, and his martial arts grades might even get him into the Nine Dragons Gate by the time of the martial arts exam!
Just as he was thinking this, his electric scooter rounded a corner and prepared to change routes, but at that moment, under the dim streetlights, a figure rushed over and blocked the way in front of the scooter.

laugh!
Li Ye reacted quickly, squeezing the brakes and slamming his powerful feet on the ground, making a screeching sound as he brought the electric scooter to a sudden stop.

"Ouch!"

The electric scooter was still some distance from the figure, but a scream was heard and a blond-haired man fell to the ground, clutching his stomach and swaying back and forth.

The blond-haired man swayed as he shouted in a booming voice, "He hit someone! He hit someone!"

Li Ye was taken aback.

Touch porcelain?

Suddenly, the sound of screeching brakes came from behind. A van stopped, and a group of people quickly got out of the van.

There are about ten of them.

"What's wrong? Are you alright?!"

The leader, a rune warrior with a black dragon tattoo on his arm, shouted as he quickly approached Li Ye.

The people behind him also moved quickly, clearly spreading out, as if they wanted to surround the blond-haired man.
Not quite right!

Before Li Ye could even marvel at how so many people could get out of the van, he was about to turn the handle and prepare to leave.

"You can't go!"

The fallen blond-haired man then lunged forward, managing to stop the electric scooter from spinning, and reached out with both hands to grab Li Ye.

"You think you can just hit someone and walk away? No way!"

In that instant, Li Ye understood, immediately abandoned the electric scooter, took to the air, landed quickly, and ran away as fast as he could.

The blond-haired man stretched out his arms with force, and although he wasn't tall, the muscles he displayed were terrifying, and his body surface was as rough as sandpaper.

There are also electric vehicles that can easily stop him from starting.
He has a classmate who is similar to that person.

He's someone who's tough and resilient!

It's confirmed, these guys are here for me!
"Chase!"

Sure enough, upon seeing Li Ye run away, the rune warrior shouted, and the people around him all moved and chased after him, making a whooshing sound as they ran.

His speed was so great that some people could keep up with Li Ye!

He's quite fast!
He already possesses exceptional leg strength, and his 100-meter burst is comparable to Usain Bolt in his previous life. Anyone who can keep up with him is definitely not an ordinary person.

There were about ten people, all of whom had trained at a martial arts school.
Especially the rune warrior at the head, who seemed even faster than him, moving as if he were floating.
"You can't run!"

The rune warrior let out a shout, his legs leaping upwards as if he were stepping on air, flying close to the ground to the green belt beside him. Stepping on the plants above, he moved even faster than before.

Qinggong!

That guy's a martial artist!
