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

Listening to Zhou Fengliu's instructions, Chen Duo on the other end of the phone stroked her chin and looked Zhang Lingyu up and down.

how to say?

Wearing plain clothes... they certainly don't look like they're wealthy.

Her original plan was to take advantage of Zhou Fengliu's absence and the presence of Zhang Lingyu, whom she didn't know, so she could practice her skills and try to apply the moves she had learned in He Weiren Cave.

But she never expected things to go so badly; she ended up finding a Taoist priest who was even poorer than her.

"I understand. I'm sorry, I'm just too eager to improve." After sizing up Zhang Lingyu, Chen Duo didn't say much and spoke frankly.

Practice cooking more...

This failure is only for the sake of the next success.

"It's good that you want to improve, and it's fine if you want to learn, but you have to remember one thing: don't say anything that's not good for me... I didn't teach you that."

Zhou Fengliu emphasized this point in particular.

"Oh..." Chen Duo nodded.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Fengliu let out a deep sigh.

This Chen Duo... is indeed becoming more and more like a "person," but she doesn't seem like a good person...

the other side.

Chen Duo quickly apologized to Zhang Lingyu.

"I'm sorry... I'll treat you to this meal."

"If you get hit, stand up straight; if you fail, apologize," Chen Duo said to Zhang Lingyu without any hesitation, before turning and leaving.

This smooth and natural apology made Zhang Lingyu feel a little uneasy.

So skilled...

Could this be a repeat offender?

After today's events, Zhang Lingyu is even more convinced of one thing: this is a pirate ship!

...

Time passed slowly, and the so-called execution day of the company exposed by Yaoxing Society came to an end.

That night, Ma Xianhong did not come over, and nothing happened in the surrounding area.

After keeping watch all night, the group stretched and began packing their belongings to leave.

"Ma Xianhong still hasn't come..."

"But then again... even if Ma Xianhong is not very bright, he wouldn't fall into such a trap."

"Who says it's not..."

"What a waste of time... Time to go."

"To be honest, thanks to this mission, I've had a few days of peace and quiet... This place is perfect for quiet meditation."

Several temporary workers left in groups, leaving only Zhou Fengliu, Zhang Chulan, and Feng Baobao to stay and wait a few more days.

The departure of these temporary workers was purely a ruse, a smokescreen for the company's mole and Ma Xianhong, making them believe that the workers had already left.

At that time, Ma Xianhong will likely come to check the situation at a later time.

With Zhou Fengliu in charge, even if Ma Xianhong brought his men, they might not get a good taste of his juice. So the temporary workers simply went back to their respective places.

And so... two more days passed on the so-called execution day.

Within the Yaoxing Society.

Ma Xianhong, who had been asleep for a long time, finally woke up.

Ma Xianhong opened his eyes and sat up abruptly in bed. He felt like he had slept for a long time and his head was still a little dizzy.

He glanced around and finally spotted Qu Tong, dressed in a white robe, at the doorway.

"Sister... what's wrong with me?"

"It's nothing, I just felt you were under a lot of pressure lately and needed to rest."

Qu Tong glanced at Ma Xianhong's mental state and then said:

"How was your sleep? How was it?"

"It's alright... just a bit of a headache."

"Okay, I've prepared some food for you. Go wash up and eat."

"it is good."

Ma Xianhong nodded, and then went to wash up as Qu Tong suggested. After Ma Xianhong walked away, Qu Tong went back to her room.

Sitting on the sofa, she communicated with the mole in the remote communication network through the remote ring artifact created by Ma Xianhong.

"How is the situation over there?"

"What I found out is that the temporary workers have already returned to their respective regions..." Qu Tong's voice, filtered through the ring on her hand, came through.

Is it reliable?

“I can’t guarantee that. I can’t ask any more questions. Being too proactive in this matter would arouse suspicion… You just need to make sure you keep an eye on Ma Xianhong.”

After listening to the intelligence relayed by the mole, Qu Tong remained silent for several seconds.

...

In another room, Ma Xianhong was eating the meal Qu Tong had prepared for him, while watching what had happened in the supernatural world during his coma on his phone.

He hadn't even browsed through it much when he saw the message pinned to the top of the forum.

Superior talent, execution day...

After looking at these photos, he unconsciously put down his chopsticks. He seemed to understand why Qu Tong had made him fall asleep for so long.

"Squeak—"

With a sound of the door being pushed open, Qu Tong walked in.

Upon seeing Qu Tong, Ma Xianhong remained remarkably calm.

"Sister, is this why you told me to go rest?"

Ma Xianhong showed Qu Tong a photo on his phone of Shang Genqi being tortured.

"Hmm..." Qu Tong knew she couldn't hide it from Ma Xianhong, so she nodded.

"Sister, you underestimate me. Do you think I'm stupid enough to jump into such an obvious trap?"

Ma Xianhong said that only a fool would fall into such an obvious trap.

Ma Xianhong is a man capable of creating a cultivation furnace; how could he be so stupid...?

Hearing his words, Qu Tong remained silent for a few seconds.

"As long as you... know your limits."

After a moment of silence, Qu Tong began to speak.

"Don't worry... sister."

Chapter 235 Old Ma is completely exhausted from being pulled around by that bad woman! (Second update)

That night.

The cool moonlight spilled onto the road, and the surroundings were very quiet, with only the sound of the night wind rustling through the leaves.

On this deserted road, a figure carrying a backpack walked quietly.

Who is this guy?

Of course, it's Ma Xianhong.

Although Ma Xianhong once said that only a fool would fall into such an obvious trap, he, Ma Xianhong, is no ordinary fool...

He's an honest man, and also the leader of a religious sect!

He felt terrible if those talented individuals suffered at the hands of the company because of him.

"Xianhong... why are you still up so late? Where are you going?"

Just as Ma Xianhong strode forward, a familiar voice rang out beside him.

Looking in the direction of the sound, Qu Tong appeared not far away, dressed in sportswear.

"elder sister..."

Upon seeing Qu Tong, Ma Xianhong was slightly taken aback.

Obviously.

Qu Tong anticipated his thoughts and ambushed him in advance.

"Didn't we agree on this? This is such an obvious trap, won't you just fall into it?" Qu Tong questioned.

"Sister, I'm sorry..." Ma Xianhong apologized first, then continued:
