Starting by picking up a female fan, he swept through the martial arts world.

Chapter 179 Wang Zhao: I'm going to make Gu Manzhi awesome!

"I'll sit next to you, you don't mind, do you?"

Qinghe's expression was cold and stern, his gaze carrying a hint of knowing killing intent.

Jiang Lang frowned slightly. He had already cleared Mo Yun of suspicion for killing Cao Yu that time, so why was this person still so hostile towards him?

However, he didn't seem particularly resistant, just smiled and said, "Sit wherever you like! There's no one next to me."

Qinghe sneered and sat down next to Jiang Lang.

Shen Weiwei smiled politely at Jiang Lang, but didn't dare to say anything more.

Then, silence fell over the room.

Jiang Lang sat leisurely, and Qing He didn't take the initiative to speak, so he was too lazy to say anything.

After a short while, the conference room became lively again.

Then, at some point, it came to an abrupt end once again.

Another explosive performer has arrived.

Wang Zhao!

Although Jiang Lang hasn't led martial arts students to fight in underground arenas for a long time, he's still keeping an eye on the situation in various underground arenas.

The current situation is that Hu Lintian's group and Wang Zhao's group are locked in a fierce battle, with Hu's group far ahead of all other research groups.

There are indeed reasons why some strong research groups are conserving their strength.

Even putting that aside, the strength demonstrated by these two research groups clearly shows their overwhelming dominance.

After Wang Zhao led his students into the conference hall, he subconsciously glanced around, his gaze lingering on Jiang Lang for a moment before his expression turned cold.

However, she only lingered her gaze for a moment before looking away and then casually found a place to sit down.

Jiang Lang: "

No?

Why are you so hostile towards me?

Qinghe couldn't help but frown. He had a feeling that Wang Zhao would look in his direction, after all, he was her strongest opponent.

But why did the light fall on Jiang Lang?

He was a little annoyed, but didn't say anything more.

At this moment, the person in charge of the lottery came over, and after a speech in official jargon, the staff prepared the lottery pool, allowing the leaders of each ethnic group to draw lots in turn.

About five minutes later, it was Qi Da's turn.

Bai Zhaoli and Jiang Lang exchanged a glance, then went to the lottery table with Shen Weiwei.

It was at this moment that Qinghe, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

"Jiang Lang, right?"

"What's up?"

"I saw the paper submitted under your name by someone surnamed Su. It seems he really wants you to be promoted to associate professor soon?"

"Is that not allowed?"

Jiang Lang asked lazily in return.

Qinghe narrowed his eyes: "I advise you not to have any improper thoughts. The title of associate professor at Qida University is not something you can just get whenever you want. There are some prices you can't afford to pay."

How do you know I can't afford it?

"If you're not even willing to give the school the prize money from the invitational tournament, what else can you offer?"

"Tsk!"

Jiang Lang scoffed, "I'm an associate professor to create value for the university, not to be its dog. Besides, General Qing is just an external staff member; why is he so concerned about my career prospects?"

"I find you pleasing to the eye!"

The indifference in Qinghe's eyes lingered. Just then, the draw results for each group at Qida came out. Hu Lintian's group was in Group A, and Su Yunchang's group was in Group B.

All research groups are divided into four major regions: A, B, C, and D. The top team in each region will be the final four.

Groups A and B are both in the upper half of the bracket, which means that if both sides perform well, they will meet in the semifinals.

A slight smile finally appeared on Qinghe's lips: "Very good! See you in the semifinals."

That's all.

He got up and left with Shen Weiwei.

Bai Zhaoli glanced curiously at their retreating figures: "What were you talking about just now?"

"He said a few random things; this person is a bit strange."

Jiang Lang frowned slightly, vaguely sensing that this person might make a move against him, but he didn't know how they planned to do it.

Forget it.

do not care.

When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it.

The two remained seated and continued to watch the draw.

Xuanyuan Jisheng, Group C.

Wang Mo, Group D.

"Okay!"

The student is driving.

Wang Zhao sat in the passenger seat, his brows furrowed.

The students couldn't help but ask curiously, "Teacher, this draw is pretty good. It's just right to make the two strong teams from Qida compete against each other, and we can also take this opportunity to see their strength clearly."

Wang Zhao narrowed his eyes.

-

From the perspective of winning the championship, this draw is indeed very favorable.

The research groups in the lower half of the board are not strong; the only one qualified to be at the table is Xuanyuan Jisheng.

But they're only qualified to be seated at the table.

A team of internet celebrities, from the team leader to the martial arts performers under his name, are all internet celebrities.

How high can the ceiling be for this kind of team?

It's indeed quite good to sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers fight.

But—Wang Mo's purpose in coming here is not to win the championship.

Yu Xuanming's preference for Gu Manzhi was largely due to the worker bee named Jiang Lang.

I must defeat him myself to reverse the current unfavorable situation.

She was genuinely a little scared, because Jiang Lang had been eliminated by Hu Lintian's group before he even met her.

Even if they won the championship, Yu Xuanming could still find excuses for Gu Manzhi.

She really didn't understand.

Why is Yu Xuanming so biased towards Gu Manzhi?

Just then, her phone rang.

"Feed?"

"Hello Professor Wang, I am Qinghe."

"Oh?"

Wang Zhao's expression was somewhat amused: "What does General Qing want with me? We shouldn't run into each other before the finals, right?"

Qinghe smiled slightly: "I have no interest in the invitational tournament."

"Um?"

Wang Zhao raised her delicate eyebrows: "Then why did General Qing contact me?"

"We have another common goal."

"What?"

"Kill Jiang Lang!"

"What?!"

Wang Zhao's pupils contracted, but she quickly regained her composure: "I don't understand what you're saying. Are you worried that we can't stop Jiang Lang from winning the championship? That's why—"

Qinghe interrupted in a deep voice, "Because Jiang Lang killed my brother-in-law, he was also an obstacle to your coronation! I destroyed his physical body, and you devoured his soul to complete the wedding ceremony—a win-win situation! You couldn't compete with the other queen bee, wasn't it all for this?"

Wang Zhao: "!?!?!?!?"

For a fleeting moment.

She was stunned.

The hive's movements are always kept secret.

Her identity as a potential queen bee was known only to the top management of the hive.

Why did Qinghe, this wild guy, reveal his identity right away?

Her gaze sharpened slightly, and she said in a deliberately casual tone, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

Qinghe smiled, his voice full of seduction: "Professor Wang, I'm with Mr. Dou! He said the queen bee is senile, and you are the one who is suitable to become the real queen bee."

Wang Zhao: "!"

It was Dou Yunqi!

Her heart started pounding!

Among all the beehives, Dou Yunqi was not the strongest worker bee, but he was certainly the most senior and had the highest status.

That's why Yu Xuanming sent him to train Gu Manzhi alone.

Many worker bees considered him to be one of Gu Manzhi's faction.

But Wang Zhao never thought so. She always felt that cultivating Gu Manzhi was just a task that Dou Yunqi had to complete.

It's just that we've lacked the opportunity to verify it.

just now!

The verification is here!

Dou Yunqi stood on his side!

The old worker bee, whose hive imprint had been shattered and who had regained control of her thoughts, resolutely stood on her own side.

He knew he had the ability to block out the will of the hive for a short period of time.

He also knew that the key to his victory over Gu Manzhi was Jiang Lang, the male bee.

Only Dou Yunqi could do all of this!

Wang Zhao felt a surge of joy that brought her to tears.

She gritted her teeth: "I can consider cooperating with you, but I need to meet Mr. Dou first."

Qinghe smiled slightly: "Okay!"

"Beep beep beep beep!"

Qinghe hung up the phone and looked at Dou Yunqi with a smile: "Mr. Dou, Wang Zhao should be coming to see you later."

Dou Yunqi smiled slightly: "Very well! I hope General Qing will also keep this a secret!"

Qinghe: "————"

He sensed the mental limitations within his head, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Such a powerful mental restriction technique, I have no choice but to keep it a secret even if I don't want to!

This is the method of the beehive.

That's really quite domineering.

Fortunately, it was only a one-time collaboration.

Using the river waves as bait, they lured Bai Heng out and killed him as well.

If the system loses this pillar, it will never be able to recover.

This old fellow has actually become a five-star general.

If it weren't for that mysterious expert, he might not have dared to make a move.
