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

If this had happened before, it would have been possible for the entire community of supernatural beings to unite and kill Zhou Fengliu.

But now... even if you gave any sect in the world of supernatural beings eight hundred times the courage, they would find it hard to utter the words "kill Zhou Fengliu".

...

"Now you're scared? If you're scared, then stop saying things that are detrimental to the unity of the various factions in the world of supernatural beings."

After Zhou Fengliu finished speaking, he suddenly felt as if he really was possessed by Zhao Fangxu.

It was fine before no one mentioned it, but after Zhang Chulan brought it up today, he was actually a little confused and belatedly realized it.

What's going on?

Zhou Fengliu thought about this for a moment.

He felt that he had only been in office in South China for a month, so why did he speak so formally?

A few minutes later, Zhou Fengliu roughly figured it out.

He wasn't possessed by Zhao Fangxu... he simply evolved.

Yes.

evolved.

He used to be a person who followed the rules.

Within the rules of the world of supernatural beings and the All-Knowing Path, they cautiously probe for their own interests and develop their strength in a stealthy manner.

But it is different now.

He is now a rule-maker; he can establish rules for a region based on the universally applicable basic principles.

Not only that, but they can also use this basic principle to achieve their goals without bloodshed, leaving no room for argument.

...

P.S.: I'm begging for anything, please, all you godfathers, have pity on me and give me something, I'm starving...

[Transfer station for world-weary novels 4 ㈦ 1 ㈨ э ④]

This is power...

Thinking about this, Zhou Fengliu felt as if he had touched on something.

He recalled Wang Ai's arrogant attitude when he visited her family to offer help and resolve their issues.

Even in the end, what Wang Ai feared was only his strength.

He then recalled that during his month-long stay in South China, after he met with a group of folk supernatural organizations and announced a set of guidelines, in addition to some troublemaking old guys, many leaders of these organizations wanted to befriend him.

It's important to understand that these people may not be aware of Zhou Fengliu's strength...

What are they afraid of?

What they fear is... the title of "Head of NaDuTong South China Region," which represents the power held by the regional head.

With this authority, even if your strength is not great in the world of supernatural beings, there will still be people who fear and respect you, just like Zhao Fangxu.

With this authority, if they were to acquire even greater power, things would become truly extraordinary...

As long as the basic principle of having the right stance and being able to navigate any situation remains unchanged, one can "roam freely" in the world of supernatural beings.

Holding power and weapons, they could potentially upend the world of supernatural beings without even firing a shot.

This is the power of authority...

Having figured this out, Zhou Fengliu felt as if he had pierced through that thin membrane and gained some insight.

Under One Person...

He is not only second only to the leader in terms of strength... but also second only to the leader in terms of power...

Having grasped this point, Zhou Fengliu's thinking became clearer.

His awareness has reached a new level.

Previously, he only thought that Nadutong had a war machine behind it. Before he had the strength to become a "homelander," he should develop stealthily, avoid big mistakes, figure out the rules, and strive for his own interests under Nadutong's principles.

Now he sees things more clearly.

Becoming a citizen of one's homeland is just the mentality of a nouveau riche... It's about suddenly gaining power and then having to act lawlessly to enjoy oneself.

This kind of mentality is like walking a tightrope; it's unnecessary.

He could easily leverage his connections with Na Du Tong to increase his power and become second only to the top leader of Na Du Tong...

As long as he doesn't violate the fundamental principle of maintaining balance between the world of supernatural beings and the real world, he can be more carefree and safer in this circle than the Old Master.

...

Thinking about this, Zhou Fengliu realized his greatest gain from taking office in South China.

That is, to have sensed the framework of authority... and gradually become able to use it.

This is something he could never have mastered when he was a grassroots employee in North China.

Only by climbing higher can one understand how dangerous and alluring power truly is.

The Money-Giving Hermit has evolved once again.

This time.

He wants power, authority, and money—he wants them all.

...

Looking at the old Tang Clan campus in front of him, Zhou Fengliu's expression did not change.

He silently summarized his experience of being able to navigate any situation in his heart.

As expected... I was still too eager to improve.

...

"We've arrived. This is the old campus of our Tang Clan."

Tang Wenlong pointed to a teaching building hidden deep in the mountains and forests in front of him and said.

The teaching building in front of us does look quite old and is somewhat dilapidated.

"It's getting late. Let me arrange rooms for you first, and I'll take you to see the old man tomorrow."

Zhang Chulan had no objections to Tang Wenlong's arrangement.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Long," Zhang Chulan said with a grin.

After a moment.

Tang Wenlong led everyone to their respective rooms.

There are many dormitories in the old campus, so each person has their own room. The rooms don't have any extra facilities, just a few bunk beds.

Zhou Fengliu randomly chose a room, sat on the bed, and looked at the sky outside the window that was dyed red by the sunset. He was in a pretty good mood.

"If you need anything, you can contact me via WeChat," Tang Wenlong said to Zhou Fengliu before leaving.

He had just added Zhou Fengliu on WeChat, and when he heard the name on Zhou Fengliu's WeChat account, he felt it didn't quite match the real Zhou Fengliu.

How could someone with such a wild and suffocating fighting style choose a name like "A Life of Romance" to describe a playboy?

It sounds like... a very strong contrast.

"Okay, you go ahead with your work," Zhou Fengliu replied.

...

After making arrangements for everyone, Tang Wenlong took the lead and went to his teacher, Tang Ming, to report the situation.

Tang Ming then organized the information and shared it with Tang Miaoxing, Zhang Wang, and others.

"Senior brother, besides the two children from the Lu family, there seems to be another person who is worth noting who came with Zhang Chulan."

Zhang Wang spoke to Tang Miaoxing.

"What's so special?"

"He's also a company employee, but... his position is a bit higher than Zhang Chulan's; he's the head of the South China region."

Tang Miaoxing raised an eyebrow as she listened to Zhang Wang's description.

"The regional head of South China has crossed borders to come to our Tang Clan?"

This sounds very unreasonable.

"what is it call?"

"His name seems to be Zhou Fengliu... I had Tang Ming investigate him a bit, and this kid is really making waves lately."

Zhang Wang paused for a moment, then continued:

"He is known as the number one among the younger generation. He fought against disciples from all the sects at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, so he must have some strength... He is also doing very well at Anycom, and was quickly promoted by Zhao Fangxu to be the head of the South China region."

Listening to Zhang Wang's description, Tang Miaoxing's expression did not change much.
