Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five.

"You should practice this exercise. Practice it without making a sound. You must persevere and practice it consistently. Practice whenever you have free time. This will help you improve and benefit your health."

At this moment, Zhou Fengliu was like a ruthless capitalist, advising Chen Duo to practice the Reversal of Heavenly Power diligently so that he could enjoy the bonuses brought by Chen Duo at all times.

"Hmm..." Upon hearing the sound, Chen Duo opened her eyes, her emerald green eyes looking at Zhou Fengliu, this "heartless capitalist," with a touch of innocence, and nodded.

"If you have any questions, come find me... Unlike other unscrupulous merchants, I offer after-sales service and guarantee you'll learn how to do it!"

Zhou Fengliu felt a little guilty after being looked at by Chen Duo's innocent eyes, so he added a couple of sentences.

The so-called dragon slayer eventually becomes the dragon himself.

If other reasonable people knew about Zhou Fengliu's actions, they would definitely curse him, saying, "I have never seen such a shameless person."

Not only did he cheat others out of their money by helping them cultivate, but he also made them spend money to buy cultivation techniques! Not only that, he also instructed them to practice every night and not to be lazy.

This outrageous move would make even big capitalists weep.

"Um... I'll go now. You practice hard."

After handing over the copy of the Rebellious Heavenly Gang to Chen Duo, Zhou Fengliu did not linger there and turned to leave.

...

Can I go to him for all my questions?

Chen Duo looked at Zhou Fengliu's departing figure upon hearing the sound.

At that moment, Zhou Fengliu had no idea that his casual, guilty remark would be something Chen Duo would remember for a lifetime...

Seeing him stare blankly in the direction Zhou Fengliu had left, he felt a surge of pleasure in his heart.

She wasn't tricked by Zhou Fengliu...

Her choice was correct.

The feeling of being able to choose the fork in the road of her life frightened her somewhat, but mostly it brought her satisfaction, though this satisfaction wasn't what she truly desired...

More than having the power to choose for herself, she wants someone to acknowledge her choices.

...

You approve of my choice.

Thinking of this, some memories flashed through Chen Duo's mind, most of which were of Liao Zhong, the person in charge of South China whom she had killed.

...

After leaving Chen Duo, Zhou Fengliu headed towards his residence.

To be honest, he had tried to understand why Chen Duo could actually help him with his cultivation, but he didn't expect her to accept it. He hadn't thought deeply about how long he could reap the benefits.

"How long can Chen Duo live?" Zhou Fengliu pondered this question as he walked.

According to the original story, once his temporary colleagues entered the village, Chen Duo's life was already on a countdown.

As for whether he would save Chen Duo, he had thought about it, but the decision was not up to him.

Instead, it's in Chen Duo's own hands.

Even if the Reversal of Heavenly Gang could repair Chen Duo's body, whether she could live, or whether she wanted to live, depended entirely on Chen Duo herself, not on him.

This outcome is entirely due to a constraint within Chen Duo's heart. Even though someone helped her stand up, her soul still belongs to the Gu-body Holy Child, not a truly human being...

Just like Liao Zhong, the head of the South China region, he helped Chen Duo rebuild her understanding of society, and like an old father, he fought for Chen Duo's rights with the board of directors, but in the end, he still failed to resolve Chen Duo's own constraints, and she ended up in such a state.

Liao Zhong may have had good intentions, but he used the wrong approach, trying to understand Chen Duo, this self-inflicted Gu-body holy child, with the mentality of a "Chinese-style parent." The result was bound to be counterproductive.

There's a saying that goes, "An egg broken from the outside is food, but broken from the inside is life; a person opened from the outside is pressure, but opened from the inside is growth."

As long as Chen Duo doesn't liberate her mind, all the help she receives from the outside world will turn into invisible pressure, forcing her to continue to stay in the comfort zone of her Gu Body Saint Child identity. In the end, it's like a double-edged sword, cutting herself and hurting others.

When Chen Duo feels that she is truly overwhelmed by this pressure and can no longer accept the world, she will be like many "children" who are forced to study by their parents, and in a moment of despair, she will take extreme measures and attempt suicide.

"Liao Zhong was a kind-hearted person... what a pity."

Thinking about this, Zhou Fengliu also expressed sympathy for the South China regional manager he had never met.

What did Liao Zhong do wrong?

He wanted to help Chen Duo accept the world.

If you think about it from another angle, what did Chen Duo do wrong?

She couldn't accept this world, but you couldn't blame her; growing up in a cult like the Medicine Immortal Society... what could she do?

So who was really in the wrong?

Oh.

Perhaps Old Ma was wrong.

If Ma Xianhong hadn't interfered, and after only hearing a little about what happened, he presumptuously assumed that the company, including Liao Zhongquan, were bad people and helped Chen Duo... the situation might not be so bad now.

Old Ma meant well...

But he's just not very bright.

After considering all of the above, Zhou Fengliu decided to wait and see. If Chen Duo could liberate herself, she would live; if not, she would die as the Gu-body Saint Child.

Ultimately, one's destiny is in one's own hands...

...

"Oh, I'm telling you, it's fate~"

After speaking with Ma Xianhong, Wang Ye returned to the house where Zhou Fengliu was staying. He had originally gone to Ma Xianhong to offer advice.

He wanted to reason with Ma Xianhong and persuade him to stop, but Ma was adamant. So he could only say, "This humble Taoist also knows a little bit about martial arts."

Before he could even unleash his power, Chen Duo and Qiu Rang returned, interrupting his spellcasting.

With no other option, he had to return to Zhou Fengliu to discuss countermeasures. However, when he returned, Zhou Fengliu was not in the house, nor was Zhuge Qing... leaving him, a lonely little Taoist priest, all alone.

To be honest, what does it matter how many people's fates Ma Xianhong's actions will change, and what does it have to do with him being a Taoist priest who was expelled?

But this Taoist priest had no choice; once he saw it, he had to intervene...

Just as he was feeling sentimental, Zhou Fengliu pushed open the door and walked in from the outside.

"Hey, Lao Wang, you're back!"

Zhou Fengliu, who hadn't seen Wang Ye for a day, asked.

"Old Zhou... Old Zhou, you're finally back." Wang Ye greeted Zhou Fengliu with great warmth.

In this Biyou Village, apart from the traitor Zhuge Qing, only the Fighting God in front of him can be trusted.

...

P.S.: I beg for everything, please beg for everything. Goodnight and sweet dreams to all my godfathers.

Chapter 152 Temporary Workers Join Biyou Village! (First Update)

“I haven’t been gone for long, but you and Lao Qing have been missing for ages.”

Zhou Fengliu asked a question:

Where have you two been?

“I went to find Ma Xianhong…that guy is really stubborn.” Wang Ye shook his head.

"Oh, that's normal. What about Lao Qing?"

Zhou Fengliu knew Ma Xianhong's character; unless you beat him into submission, he wouldn't change his mind at all.

"I don't know, who knows where our Qing, who just joined Biyou Village, is hanging around..." Wang also used "Qing, the traitor" to describe Zhuge Qing.

...

now.

Qing Da Guanren.

No, it should be that Zhuge Qing was being summoned by Ma Xianhong to study the Body Cultivation Furnace.

Because there were no sorcerers in Biyou Village before, no one came to save the young man who had fallen into a coma while practicing Qimen Dunjia.

Well... Master Qing is here, and little brother is saved.

At Ma Xianhong's request, Zhuge Qing connected with the little brother's consciousness through the newly built cultivation furnace, attempting to rescue the little brother from within.

After Zhuge Qing's actions, the little brother finally woke up, but Ma Xianhong's furnace exploded again.

With a series of booming sounds, Ma Xianhong stared in stunned silence at the shattered cultivation furnace before him.

The stove was just repaired!

Another stove explosion?

Zhou Fengliu caused an explosion every time he came, and now Zhuge Qing is doing the same thing.

Ma Xianhong frowned, somewhat doubting his own abilities. He began to wonder if his skills as a weapon refiner were inadequate.

No... I need to find out what's going on!

After rescuing the young man, Ma Xianhong began to investigate the cause of the furnace explosion.
