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

Dare to challenge me? You think you can show off? I'll make you fly!

...

The next day.

Northeast Branch.

The Lü family and the Tang Clan also arrived at the Northeast branch.

The Lü family was represented by Lü Ci alone, while the Tang family was accompanied by their leader Tang Miaoxing, deputy leader Tang Xin, and several younger members of the middle generation.

Lu Ci was somewhat surprised to see Tang Miaoxing and Tang Xin, who had changed his surname, walk into the conference room.

He had heard about the Tang Clan in Lü Family Village...

Xu Xin was reborn through the Impure World, changing his name to Tang Xin and becoming the vice sect leader of the Tang Clan.

Tang Miaoxing, through some unknown means, bound the head of the South China region, now a director of Nadutong, to the Tang Clan...

"Master Tang has arrived quite early..." Lu Ci said, looking at Tang Miaoxing.

"Not at all, didn't Patriarch Lü arrive earlier than us?" Tang Miaoxing replied, sitting opposite Lü Ci.

They were actually old acquaintances.

Lu Ci also participated in the deadly battle against Bihe Ren in the Toutian Cave.

Although Tang Xin and Tang Miaoxing did not participate in that deadly battle, they did a lot of work in the aftermath, such as pursuing the fleeing Bihe Ren and eliminating the remaining Bihe forces.

"With the demonic sword appearing, how could we not arrive early?"

"This was a thorn in my side back then..."

Lu Ci spoke slowly...

His own brother, the eldest son of the Lü family, was killed by the demon Eita, wielding the cursed sword Hirumaru...

He hasn't completely avenged this grudge even now... All I can say is that Eita was incredibly fast back then.

"Who says it's not..."

Tang Miaoxing responded with a sentence, and his thoughts unconsciously returned to that period of time.

Just as the two were talking, the conference room door was pushed open again, and Gao Lian, Zhou Fengliu, and others entered.

"Master Tang, Patriarch Lü, our Chairman Zhou has arrived." Gao Lian gave a brief introduction of Zhou Fengliu.

However, his introduction seemed somewhat superfluous, as the people present were all old acquaintances of Zhou Fengliu.

Lü Ci...

At the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, Lü Ci and Wang Ai tried to make things difficult for Zhou Fengliu, but they were humiliated... Since the news of the Wang family's destruction spread, Lü Ci seems to have quieted down quite a bit.

As for Tang Miaoxing and Tang Xin, needless to say, Zhou Fengliu, as the honorary principal of Tangmen Martial Arts School, is still enjoying the benefits brought by Tangmen.

The reverse Heavenly Strike technique has become a compulsory course for talented Tang Clan disciples, both inner and outer sect members...

"Manager Zhou, oh no, I mean Chairman Zhou... It's been a long time. How have you been, Chairman Zhou?"

Tang Miaoxing looked at the great benefactor of the Tang Clan in front of him and unconsciously stood up.

"Not bad, Master Tang looks much better than before."

Zhou Fengliu was somewhat surprised to see Tang Miaoxing like this.

It's clear that Tang Miaoxing has completely emerged from the shadow of her failed alchemy attempt, her body has recovered, and her overall spirits have improved considerably.

"Thanks to Jay Chou, things are much better than before," Tang Miaoxing replied.

He wasn't just saying that to be polite.

He truly benefited from Zhou Fengliu's Reversal of Heavenly Gang technique, which allowed him to break through to the Core Formation stage again a few days ago...

Perhaps it was because he had experienced death once, or perhaps he had a better understanding of life and death and didn't take it as seriously as before, and as a result, he actually succeeded.

He became the second person in the Tang Clan to master the Dan Shi technique.

"I even asked Tao Tao to invite you back to the Tang Clan. The children miss you quite a bit. I wonder if she told you..."

As Tang Miaoxing spoke, her gaze immediately fell on Tao Tao, who was following behind Zhou Fengliu and looked somewhat embarrassed.

what?

When did this happen?

When did you tell me?

Before Zhou Fengliu could answer, Bai Lantao, who was standing to the side, raised an eyebrow, looking puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Fengliu first glanced at Tao Tao, then said to Tang Miaoxing:

"That's for sure, I'll definitely go if I have the chance."

...

"Tsk..."

Seeing Tang Miaoxing's obsequious manner, Lü Ci, standing to the side, let out a displeased voice:

"Master Tang, you've changed a lot. I remember you were so unyielding before, weren't you? It's only been a few years, how come... you've become a lackey?"

"..."

have to say.

Lü Ci was brave.

His words stunned not only Tang Miaoxing and Zhou Fengliu, but even Gao Lian, a local, thought to himself that these words were truly offensive.

Lu Ci's words were as if to say: I'm not targeting any particular person, I'm saying everyone here is trash...

They really didn't care about the reputation of the Tang Clan or the All-Knowing Martial Arts School at all...

Chapter 495 Assassinating Zhou Fengliu? That's quite a bold statement! (Second Update)

"Old Master Lü, you're still as strong as ever, almost a year has passed..."

Zhou Fengliu looked at Lü Ci and slowly spoke as he broke the silence.

“Chairman Zhou, I, Lü Ci, am just that outspoken. I’m not targeting you, I just can’t stand the sycophantic attitude of the Tang Clan just now.”

Opportunism and currying favor?

Whose flames are we drawn to?

Whose power is it attached to?

With Lü Ci's additional comment, the spearhead seemed to have become even sharper, piercing the Tang Clan's spine and causing a sharp pain...

Hearing Lü Ci's words, Tang Miaoxing responded calmly:

"Lu the Mad Dog, you really bite anyone you see. Chairman Zhou corrected the Tang Clan's wrong path before. Can't I, on behalf of the Tang Clan, invite Chairman Zhou to visit the Tang Clan?"

"And you, you mad dog Lu, you don't fawn over the powerful? Yes, you don't fawn over the powerful, but you bite anyone you see."

"The filthy things you've done over the years are so underhanded and dirty... you're practically no different from the Quanxing sorcerers. Look what the Lü family has become under your care."

"!"

Faced with Tang Miaoxing poking his lungs, Lü Ci slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and exuded aura, looking like he was about to bite someone.

He pointed at Tang Miaoxing and said:

"Tang Miaoxing! What do you mean by that! You can talk about me, but you can't talk about the Lü family."

The Tang Clan wasn't afraid of Lü Ci going mad. Since both of their experts in Dan Shi had come, they were naturally not afraid of the Lü family.

As Tang Xin began to emanate his aura, it seemed as if the two families were about to clash.

"Hey you three, don't cause trouble on Brother Gao's turf..."

Zhou Fengliu, seeing Lü Ci and Tang Miaoxing locked in a fierce battle, also spoke up to offer a reminder.

Zhou Fengliu was a man of principle. He knew this was the Northeast region, Gaolian's territory, so he didn't take action directly, but only gave a few words of advice.

If this happened in South China, and these two families dared to cause trouble here... they would have been thrown out long ago.

“That’s right, Patriarch Lü, Sect Leader Tang, I believe you two didn’t come here to cause trouble for a private fight… The company invited you two here to witness the return of the Demon Blade to the Fish-Dragon Society…” Gao Lian also chimed in to persuade them.

If Lü Ci and Tang Miaoxing were to fight here, it would be difficult to resolve the situation.

After hearing that Zhou Fengliu and Gao Lian had spoken up, Tang Miaoxing and Tang Xin also chose to let the matter drop.

It wasn't that they were afraid of Lu Ci, that mad dog; it was mainly because of Zhou Fengliu's influence.

Although Tang Clan chose to sit down, Lü Ci didn't seem to be giving up.

Perhaps Tang Miaoxing's insults were truly a bit too vulgar, saying he resembled something inappropriate, like a member of the Quanxing sect...

Their Lü family just produced a Quanxing demon, who is still on the run!

Seeing that Lü Ci still wanted to cause trouble, Zhou Fengliu didn't say much. He released his overflowing Qi and surrounded himself, preparing to give Lü Ci a warning.

As the surging Qi within him burned like fire, Lü Ci, who was standing to the side, was first taken aback, as if something had occurred to him, and then silently sat back down:

"I'm not going to hold it against you today, Tang Miaoxing, just because of Mr. Zhou and Manager Gao."
