Pirated Immortals in the World of Spirit Weapons

Chapter 134 The Ordering Diagram of the Celestial Phenomena Daoist Canon! Killing Intent!

Taiyan Group's Spiritual Artifact Research Institute, Laboratory No. 009.

Zhu Que immediately prepared to find Pei Feng.

however.

At the entrance to the laboratory, he noticed that Pei Feng, who was usually there, was not present today.

Zhu Que asked the researcher next to him, "Hello, do you know where Supervisor Pei went?"

"In the lab. President Zhou came to check on the project progress in person today, so Supervisor Pei naturally had to accompany him."

The researcher answered casually.

"Which President Zhou?" Zhu Que asked instinctively.

The researcher stopped and looked back at him with some surprise.

"Which other CEO in our group could be like Zhou? Of course, it's President Zhou Tianlang."

Zhou Tianlang —

Zhu Que was stunned for a moment.

He sought out Pei Feng today to prove the value of that sorting diagram, thereby proving his own worth.

Even President Zhou Tianlang came, which is an excellent opportunity to prove himself.

If one could prove the value of their research in front of Zhou Tianlang, the effect would be far better than proving it to Pei Feng.

If Zhou Tianlang recognizes his value, then Taiyan Group will definitely not touch him in the short term.

Thinking about this...

Zhu Que entered the laboratory without hesitation.

Inside the laboratory.

Zhu Que could see from afar that a number of researchers and master craftsmen had gathered in the area where they were studying the combination of magical artifacts.

He also spotted Song Wugui on the outskirts of the crowd.

Zhu Que walked around to Song Wugui's side and asked, "Brother Song, is President Zhou here?"

"Yes, we've been here for quite a while."

Song Wugui turned around and saw that it was Zhu Que. He nodded slightly and said, "He is checking the overall progress of the project."

Zhu Que looked into the crowd.

Among that group of people, a middle-aged man was surrounded in the middle.

He was tall and slender, wearing frameless magical glasses and a dark navy blue mid-length coat.

His eyes were calm and composed, yet they exuded an imposing aura of authority.

Zhu Que recognized Zhou Tianlang, the president of Taiyan Group, at a glance!

At this moment, Zhou Tianlang stood with his hands behind his back, listening to Pei Feng report on the project's progress. His expression was calm, revealing neither joy nor anger.

If he asked a question or two, Pei Feng would immediately answer with utmost respect.

Zhu Que glanced at the people around Zhou Tianlang, and was immediately drawn to a woman next to him.

She was an exceptionally beautiful woman.

She stood beside Zhou Tianlang, exuding an outstanding and elegant aura. She wore a fitted cheongsam, and her figure was extremely alluring.

"Who is that woman?" Zhu Que asked instinctively.

"Madam President, Zhou Yu'e," Song Wugui said.

Zhou Yu'e —

Zhu Que's eyes narrowed slightly.

This woman is Zhou Yu'e!

Pei Feng told him that among the group's senior management, the one who harbored the deepest hatred for him was this president's wife.

Because her cousin Zhan Yunhe died at the hands of Zhu Que.

Zhu Que quietly moved half a step behind Song Wugui, concealing his figure so that Zhou Yu'e wouldn't see him at first glance.

Although Pei Feng protected him, and Taiyan Group initially recognized his value, Zhou Yu'e was unable to take action against him.

However, Zhou Yu'e's restraint was based on rational rules.

If Zhou Yu'e had seen him on the spot, there was no guarantee she wouldn't do something irrational in her emotional state.

After all, people are simply unable to remain rational when they are most excited.

"Why are you hiding?" Song Wugui asked, turning his head to look at him in confusion.

"Shh, I'll tell you another day."

Zhu Que shook his head slightly.

Seeing this, Song Wugui did not press the matter further.

Zhu Que hid behind the crowd, quietly observing Zhou Tianlang and Pei Feng's conversation through several rows of heads.

"Too slow."

Zhou Tianlang's voice wasn't loud, but it was extremely clear to everyone, as if it were striking their hearts.

"What guarantees did you make to me back then? What about sparing no expense and ensuring it would be completed within six months? And this is the progress you've made?"

"Mr. Zhou, we are indeed working hard to expedite the process."

Pei Feng, somewhat helplessly, forced himself to speak and said, "The overall framework is basically complete, and the material issues are almost resolved. There are still some technical challenges to overcome—"

I don't want to hear those reasons.

Zhou Tianlang interrupted him calmly.

"Do you know how urgent time is right now? Every day this project is delayed, the group will lose hundreds of millions!"

"Mr. Zhou, it's because we lack the ability to meet your expectations—"

"This is not my expectation, but the future of the group!"

Zhou Tianlang's tone suddenly turned stern.

At that moment, everyone felt a bone-chilling cold, as if the temperature had suddenly dropped by dozens of degrees.

"The group supports you, provides you with the best equipment, the most abundant resources, and the most generous budget, not so you can just coast along here!"

"Luckily I took some time to come and take a look today, otherwise I don't know how long I would have been fooled by your data."

Zhou Tianlang threw the documents at Pei Feng's face.

"Mr. Zhou, your reprimand is quite right—"

Pei Feng responded obsequiously, his attitude extremely humble.

The researchers and artifact-making masters all hunched over, barely daring to breathe.

Zhu Que was secretly puzzled.

This Zhou Tianlang—

Why does it look like an act?

He seemed unusually eager to complete the Daoist classic on celestial phenomena.

It's not just ordinary project pressure, but a kind of urgency—carried with a deeper anxiety.

"No wonder Pei Feng, who acts like a grandson in front of Zhou Tianlang, was able to protect him."

"It is estimated that in Zhou Tianlang's eyes, the timely completion of the Celestial Phenomenon Dao Codex is the most important thing that overrides everything else. As long as someone can push the project forward, everything else is a trivial matter that can be ignored."

"Pei Feng is right—I must make myself more valuable in order to survive in the Taiyan Group—"

Just as he was deep in thought.

Pei Feng, who was being scolded, glanced at the crowd and saw Zhu Que hiding behind them.

His eyes lit up.

"Congratulations on your arrival!"

"?!"

Zhu Que's eyes widened slightly.

He never expected that even though he hid so well, Pei Feng would still find him, and Pei Feng would even call out to him in public.

next moment.

The crowd automatically parted to both sides.

All eyes turned to Zhu Que.

Zhu Que, who had been hiding in the crowd, was instantly exposed to everyone's sight.

At the same time.

Zhu Que immediately felt a gaze upon him.

That gaze was completely different from the others, carrying a chilling killing intent, and instantly locked onto him.

He didn't need to look to know whose gaze was directed at Zhou Yu'e!

At this moment, Zhou Yu'e stared intently at Zhu Que, her eyes filled with murderous intent, making no attempt to conceal her hatred for him.

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Zhu Que could only walk towards Pei Feng.

"Come quick, come quick!"

Pei Feng waved to him and said to Zhou Tianlang, "President Zhou, this is Zhu Que. A few days ago, he studied a sequencing chart and said he deduced the correct order of the components of the Celestial Phenomena Daoist Canon."

"Have you deduced the correct order?"

Zhou Tianlang looked puzzled.

"How did he deduce that? Aren't all those parts exactly the same? No master craftsman could find any difference."

"I'm not entirely sure either, but he said there's a way to prove the value of the ordination chart."

Pei Feng explained, "So, the reason I called him over today is to have him demonstrate and prove it on the spot."

"Oh?"

Zhou Tianlang immediately raised his eyebrows with interest.

He looked Zhu Que over again and asked, "Zhu Que, right? You really can deduce the correct order of those parts?"

"Yes."

Zhu Que met Zhou Tianlang's gaze and spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.

but.

He was already cursing in his mind.

Pei Feng got scolded himself, so they used him as a scapegoat.

If he proved on the spot that the order was correct, it was thanks to Pei Feng's discerning eye and his ability to overcome all opposition.

If he can't prove it, then he'll attract all the firepower.

"interesting."

Zhou Tianlang wore an enigmatic, amused expression.

"The research institute has so many master craftsmen who create magical artifacts, including experts who have been immersed in this industry for decades. Everyone says that the parts are exactly the same, and it is impossible to deduce the correct order of arrangement."

"And yet you claim you can deduce the correct order—"

"Looks like my trip today wasn't in vain. Let's go, go prove it to me."

"etc!"

Just then.

Zhou Yu'e suddenly took a step forward, her eyes fixed on Zhu Que.

"Zhu Que, if you can't prove that the sorting chart is real, can't we say that you're using a baseless piece of paper to fool people, fabricating facts, and deceiving your superiors?"

Seeing this, Pei Feng quickly said, "You can't say that. Experiments are never 100% successful. Failure is common."

Did I ask you?!

Zhou Yu'e suddenly turned her head, her voice rising abruptly.

Zhu Que remained calm and said in a composed tone, "Madam Zhou, I don't quite understand your logic."

"What don't you understand?"

"You mean—if my research doesn't meet expectations, it's equivalent to fabricating data?"

Zhu Que said slowly and deliberately, "But according to this standard, wouldn't all research projects in the institute that failed be considered fraudulent?"

"Failure is the norm in spiritual artifact research. What I submitted to Supervisor Pei is my current research result, not the final conclusion."

"If Mrs. Zhou believes that if I cannot prove it, then I am committing fraud, then I have nothing to say."

'

Zhou Yu'e's face darkened. She hadn't expected Zhu Que to be so eloquent at such a young age.

"you----"

She was about to retort.

"alright."

Zhou Tianlang said, "There's no point in saying more. Let's go and prove it to us."

After saying that, he didn't even look at Zhou Yu'e, and with a smile, he led Zhu Que towards the storage room of the Celestial Phenomenon Dao Scripture.

Zhou Yu'e stood frozen in place for a few seconds, her expression shifting between light and dark, but she still silently followed.

She stared intently at Zhu Que's retreating figure, a dark hatred surging within her.

Brother Yunhe, ever since the day I left the Zhan family, you have been the only person in this world who has ever been the best to me.

No matter what I went through, you never gave up on me.

so----

You absolutely cannot die like this.

Whether it's today or two months from now, I will kill Zhu Que to pay for your life, no matter what means I use!

The storage room for components of the Celestial Phenomena Daoist Canon.

Tens of thousands of parts are neatly arranged together.

"Zhu Que, what is the basis for your deduction of the sorting chart? Quickly prove it to President Zhou."

Seeing Zhu Que's composed expression, Pei Feng suddenly felt more confident.

He then had a huge sorting chart unfolded so that Zhou Tianlang could view it at any time.

Upon seeing this.

The atmosphere at the scene immediately quieted down.

The group of magical artifact crafting masters were filled with doubt and curiosity.

They studied it for so long, used all sorts of instruments and equipment, and tried countless analytical methods, but they couldn't find even the slightest difference.

How exactly did Zhu Que deduce the order?

Although they had always scoffed at sorting diagrams, they now wanted to see what Zhu Que's basis was.

however.

Zhu Que's first sentence stunned everyone: "My reasoning is based on a very simple word: intuition."

"???"

Everyone was curious about what basis he could give, but the word "intuition" left everyone dumbfounded.

"Intuition? Is that your basis?"

"What the hell is intuition? Who researches magical artifacts based on intuition?"

"This is hilarious! Is this a joke? This kid is trying to fool people with his intuition right in front of President Zhou?"

"I told you long ago it's nothing of value, just a bunch of nonsense."

The group of master craftsmen discussing the matter animatedly.

Even Song Wugui frowned.

Although he didn't think Zhu Que would talk nonsense, the reason of "intuition" did indeed confuse him.

Based on his understanding of Zhu Que, Zhu Que was definitely not someone who spoke carelessly.

therefore----

Zhu Que is most likely not telling the truth!

Upon seeing this scene, Zhou Yu'e's face immediately revealed a hint of gloomy joy.

very good!

Brother Yunhe, it seems even God is on your side.

Under the protection of the Taiyan Group, she has been unable to lay a hand on Zhu Que these days, which makes her feel like she has a bone stuck in her throat and can't eat or sleep.

If Zhu Que completely loses his value to the group, then the umbrella protecting him will cease to exist.

Once she's free from the Taiyan Group, she has countless ways to make him die a horrible death!

"May this opportunity remain unfilled!"

Pei Feng said in a low voice, "Have you thought about what you're going to say? Still talking about intuition? What kind of bullshit is that?"

Just then.

A voice rang out slowly and deliberately.

"intuition----"

Zhou Tianlang repeated the two words, his tone calm, with even a faint smile on his face.

"In many people's eyes, this is something that is not worth mentioning."

"But the older I get, the more I feel that intuition is often the most valuable and scarcest thing."

He glanced around at the assembled artifact masters, his gaze calm and profound.

"I've seen far too many people like you."

"They are learned and proficient in theory, but they only use known tools to interpret unknown things. Anything beyond the scope of those tools is judged as non-existent."

"That's not rigor, that's arrogance!"

He paused slightly, then looked back at Zhu Que.

"The longer I'm in a high position, the more I believe in one thing—true breakthroughs often come from some kind of inexplicable intuition!"

"Zhu Que, please continue."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

Zhu Que nodded slightly and said, "My conclusion about the order of these components was indeed based on intuition."

"But I have a way to verify whether this sorting is correct."

"What method?!"

This statement came out.

Everyone's eyes widened immediately.

Zhu Que actually has a way to verify the authenticity of the sorting chart?!
