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

Zhao Fangxu first introduced Zhou Fengliu's identity.

Upon hearing that it was Zhou Fengliu, everyone present turned their gazes toward him.

They recognized the name; the young man who had shone brightly at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony had inherited the Tongtian Talisman, one of the Eight Extraordinary Skills.

Of course, these were not enough to make them remember it deeply.

It was after Zhou Fengliu took office in South China that they remembered this name deeply.

The decisive and swift purge of several sects and the restoration of the new order in South China were what truly established Zhou Fengliu's influence in the world of supernatural beings.

The name "South China Bandit" has recently become even more feared by sects in the world of supernatural beings than the God of War.

This is a ruthless person.

...

"Little Zhou, this is Yi Qi..." After introducing Zhou Fengliu, Zhao Fangxu introduced the four people sitting opposite him.

Zhou Fengliu also took the opportunity to glance around. The bald middle-aged man on the far left was the representative of the First Qi Stream, the second old man on the left was from the Natural Gate, and then the Huangmen Sancai and Yanwutang.

The representative from Yanwu Hall was the youngest, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, looking like an honest man.

...

“Manager Zhou, your name is very familiar to us…” the elder from the Natural Gate said first.

"Meeting you today, I never expected someone so young to possess such talent and skill. You truly have unlimited potential; no wonder President Zhao brought you along..."

...

P.S.: I pray for everything as usual. Goodnight and sweet dreams to all my godfathers.

Chapter 326 What makes you so arrogant? (First Update)

The old man from the Natural Gate is quite a seasoned veteran.

Seeing that Zhao Fangxu brought Zhou Fengliu, this young man, to appease them, he knew that Zhao Fangxu, or rather the company, valued this young man.

The saying goes, "You can't hit a smiling face."

Although the Truth Seeking Society came to NaDuTong to demand an explanation and fight for some benefits, it's always good to start with a few flattering words.

...

Listening to Lao Deng's polite words, Zhou Fengliu, the person involved, was already prepared to play the arrogant role of cooperating with Zhao Fangxu today.

He glanced at the four people present and then answered:

"What tricks could I possibly have as a lowly employee? I'm just a cog in the machine."

"As for why Mr. Zhao brought me here today... it's to help everyone solve their problems."

"He specifically instructed me to come today for three things..."

"Fairness, fairness, and more fairness..."

"If you have grievances or complaints, please speak them out... We from all walks of life are here today to resolve these issues."

Zhou Fengliu got straight to the point and got to the main topic of the conversation.

Upon hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, the four people present were taken aback at first, then exchanged glances and began their confrontation with Na Du Tong.

...

"It's so bitter, so unjust, we're really heartbroken."

Huang Ning, who was slightly younger than the other three, received a signal from his eyes and then began to speak:

"Tell me, what kind of thing is this? What kind of thing has the Tang Clan done?!"

Faced with Huang Ning's complaints, Zhao Fangxu adjusted his glasses, looked at Huang Ning, and then reassured him:

“Xiao Ning, I understand how you feel. All the schools of thought here have been caught up in this mess and suffered heavy losses.”

“Some of the senior mentors and friends were actually among these thirty-six people.”

"Compared to others, everyone here should know better than anyone how hard-won our current life is."

"Let's just let this go. It's just Xu Xin, isn't it? How many more years can a dying man live?"

Zhao Fangxu first expressed the company's attitude to the four people present.

Hearing Zhao Fangxu's statement, the four of them were definitely unwilling. They had to use this matter to negotiate with Na Du Tong and fight for their own interests.

"Mr. Zhao, I completely agree with what you said, but in my heart..."

Huang Ning seemed to be playing the "bad cop" role in today's dialogue, being quite aggressive.

A twisted expression appeared on his face, and he pointed to the old man standing next to him at the Natural Gate, saying:

"This Master Fang witnessed it firsthand; back then, Senior Bian Tong had his sect rules corrected by his master himself."

"My master told me that our senior Liu Deshui from the Yanwu Hall was chased to the point of no return, and was forced to jump off a cliff to his death. When his body was brought back, there wasn't even a trace of it..."

"And my master, and the seniors of Master Fang's Natural Sect, and the fellow disciples of the other two seniors, how did they die ten years ago? Don't you know?"

Huang Ning cried out with tears welling up in her eyes.

The incident he mentioned ten years ago was precisely the trap set by Zhang Huaiyi, who deliberately exposed his whereabouts, attracting the pursuit of many sect leaders and experts.

The battle in which Zhang Huaiyi personally took part ultimately ended with the deaths of more than a dozen sect leaders at his hands.

Hearing Huang Ning's words, Zhao Fangxu's expression gradually darkened.

Although Zhao Fangxu's expression darkened, Huang Ning continued relentlessly, pressing him on:

"Regardless of right or wrong in that battle, Zhang Huaiyi died, and his death ended everything, so the matter was over... We didn't mean to make things difficult for Zhang Chulan when he was born, did we?"

"But what about Xu Xin's matter?"

"Do you think we're all idiots? Fine, your Tang Clan is high and mighty, and his Tang Clan is great! A big sect! You treat Xu Xin like a treasure, hiding him away to retire is one thing, but now you've changed his surname and brought him out to be the vice sect leader?"

"Isn't this bullying honest people?!"

"We small sects may not be as powerful as the Tang Clan, but are we not even allowed to demand justice when we're bullied...?"

"President Zhao! I, Huang Ning, am feeling incredibly aggrieved!"

Huang Ning's barrage of dredging up old grievances and engaging in verbal sparring pushed the conversation into an awkward situation for both sides.

...

Before Zhao Fangxu could say anything, the middle-aged man with an air of authority began to play the good cop, speaking in a rather hypocritical tone:

"Xiao Ning, just bear with it. Is it right to speak ill of the Tang Clan in front of their honorary principal?"

"The Tang Clan has been detached from worldly affairs for many years, and its relationship with the company is quite delicate. This time, we were able to establish contact with the Tang Clan through this South China regional head, even if it meant sacrificing a few of our smaller factions. We can't really say anything about it..."

"He's just Xu Xin, right? We can just let it go..."

He and Huang Ning worked together to connect Xu Xin's birth with Zhou Fengliu, the head of the South China region of Na Du Tong and the honorary principal of Tang Clan.

Faced with the Truth Seeking Society's verbal offensive, Zhao Fangxu remained silent.

Seeing this, Zhou Fengliu knew it was time for him to step up, and his voice rang out calmly:

"What else can you do besides accept this choice?"

Zhou Fengliu's rhetorical question left the four people present somewhat bewildered.

"No, are you going to go to the Tang Clan for an explanation? Or are you going to just kill Xu Xin? If you really have this idea, I can get you in touch with Tang Miaoxing."

"You two can have a good fight then. If you win, you can kill Xu Xin. If you lose, then come after the company..."

"Of course, if you come looking for the company again, the situation will change... You know, what we at Na Du Tong hate most is causing trouble..."

Zhou Fengliu also showed no leniency towards the four members of the Truth-Seeking Society in front of him, especially in front of Zhao Fangxu.

Switching to the South China region...

If someone dares to be so arrogant, then after one of them takes on a little brat, everyone will calm down...

"Manager Zhou, what do you mean by that? Are you deliberately standing up for the Tang Clan?"

Huang Ning frowned and questioned Zhou Fengliu.

"That's right. You're the honorary principal of the Tang Clan, you must be thinking about the Tang Clan... why would you care about the lives of our families?"

"President Zhao, please give me your opinion. As the leader of Nadutong, you are surely the most impartial person. I, Huang Ning, trust you!"

Hearing Huang Ning's words, Zhao Fangxu, who was originally quite satisfied that Zhou Fengliu had said what he couldn't say, tapped the table.

"Xiao Huang, first of all, I can assure you that Xiao Zhou's trip to Tangmen was my idea, and its purpose was only to check whether Tangmen still has any large-scale mechanisms. Xu Xin's emergence has nothing to do with the company."

"Xiao Zhou is the head of our South China region for NaDuTong, and the company has complete trust in his personal stance..."

"Secondly, regarding his status as honorary principal of the Tang Sect, I've already made it very clear—it's just a nominal position, with no real substance..."

Chapter 327 Zhou Fengliu: Pick up the cup, I'll make you pick up the cup!

"From a standpoint of opinion, I believe that Xiao Zhou treats all sects equally."

Zhao Fangxu, that old fox, downplayed the issue and offered Zhou Fengliu a way to exonerate himself regarding his stance.
