Why did you provoke me?

Hearing Secretary Wu say this, Yu Meng was taken aback. "You still keep that room? Let's go take a look. If there's nothing wrong with what I put there, then we'll do as you say."

"it is good."

This room was something Yu Meng had casually arranged when she selected her entourage after receiving the sealed document. Little did she expect that Secretary Wu would use this room as a test of loyalty.

The two went to the next room. The room was empty, with only a table in the middle.

Looking at the things on the table, Yu Meng couldn't help but smile. How could the things she made be so useful? She was happy inside, but she didn't show it on her face.

She took the item in her hands and examined it carefully. After a while, she concluded, "Uncle Wu, this thing probably won't break even if you use it for another 10 years."

"Alright, from now on this room will be the first stage of the sect's selection process. Would you like to meet this Jingwu?" Secretary Wu smiled so much that wrinkles appeared on his face.

Let's meet.

"How about this, I'll call all five of them over. It's such a big deal, let them feel involved too."

Is it necessary?

"Yes, absolutely. Teacher Yu, you don't know, these people are all abandoned. Even those who weren't abandoned don't live normal lives."

Now, this sect has given them a home. If they were given a goal to strive for, they would surely put all their energy into it.

"Uncle Wu, I feel like there's something hidden in what you said!"

"No, absolutely not. But to be honest, these people are in their prime, full of energy, so they need to be kept busy. Our resources are meager; if they don't contribute, when will our resources grow?"

Looking into Secretary Wu's sincere eyes, Yu Meng nodded. "Uncle Wu, you're absolutely right. If they don't work, are we, an old man and a young girl, supposed to earn our living?"

Secretary Wu clapped his hands. "I told you we're the most compatible. You understand everything I say, you support me, and you always come to my aid."

Secretary Wu's eyes were a little red; a true friend is hard to find!

Looking at Secretary Wu's emotional outburst, Yu Meng didn't know what to say.

"Uncle Wu, let's settle on this for now. As for when we'll meet, that's up to you."

"Okay, I'll go get busy then." Secretary Wu left happily.

On the first battlefield, the long-haired man knew that the Overlord might really be gone.

But he still waited in the same place for three days.

He touched the ring on his hand. Was he really going to give me something so good just for the small command of the First Battlefield? You know, when we first arrived, they were practically swearing never to see each other again because of their own beliefs.

But with the actual item right in front of him, he wouldn't believe it even if it were fake.

……

Upon seeing Elder Chen, the long-haired man asked, "Are the things you brought back useful for your research?"

"That piece of ore was a bit unexpected. The alien didn't find anything special about it, but there should be a connection between the two. There are too few actual samples to confirm."

"There's someone who should be able to solve this problem, but he wants to test it on the front lines. What do you think?"

Old Chen looked at the long-haired man. "Sir, you're not joking?"

The long-haired man shook his head.

"Such a large gesture, and you even spoke up for him, do you know him, are you old acquaintances?"

The long-haired man frowned slightly. "I suppose so."

Old Chen looked at the long-haired man's face; his expression was unlike that of an old acquaintance. There was a hint of disdain, a touch of helplessness, and perhaps even a hint of nostalgia.

He didn't dwell on these things, and waved his hand dismissively. "I'll speak to the Wang family, and this first battlefield is yours. The procedures will take a few days, but if you're in a hurry, I'll have them use a special channel."

"it is good."

Old Chen was genuinely surprised, but he didn't refuse. In the past, when faced with similar situations, his answer was always "Mm."

"Sir, could you pull some strings and save me a copy if something good comes up? I can do my research."

"I'll bring it up, but whether they agree or not, I don't know."

"Okay, just mention it, the rest is up to fate."

Old Chen spoke calmly, but he didn't believe that the other party would refuse to contribute research materials after he had done such a big favor.

Yu Meng received the document seven days later; the administrator's name was followed by a blank space.

She went to Secretary Wu, "We need to give the fifth group a separate name."

Secretary Wu held the documents in her hand, carefully examining each page. "Teacher Yu, how did you do that? I feel like I'm dreaming."

"Oh, I know someone, I gave them a gift."

The tone was too casual, as if it weren't a big deal at all.

"Teacher Yu, do you think the Jia family can suppress those four top families? If they unite, can the Jia family withstand the pressure?"

"Uncle Wu, you don't think that by giving me the documents, he's also leaving me with a whole host of problems!"

Secretary Wu looked a little embarrassed. "I just asked. Teacher Yu, you know what? I don't even dare to have this dream during the day, it's too fantastical."

"Uncle Wu, I want to move Teacher Qing's experimental garden to the front line."

"No problem! The Jia family is just sitting at home, and such a huge pie has fallen from the sky. All we need is a place. If they were sensible, they would say the same thing: take whichever piece they like. We're just gatekeepers."

Yu Meng laughed. "Uncle Wu, you've broadened your horizons; you're using a hidden family to guard your door."

"Sigh, I guess I'll have to get used to it. The guy guarding our gate now isn't an ordinary person either!"

After discussing some specific matters, Secretary Wu asked in a low voice, "Should we discuss this with Chief Nangong?"

"What are you talking about? It's not Jingchuan's business, it's the Jia family's business."

"Understood, I will send someone to the Jia family to sign the contract."

Jing Ancheng was sent out again, accompanied by a young man in his late twenties, with a tall and straight posture and a smiling face. This was Jing Wu from the sect.

He was a young master from a prominent family in Kyoto, who was tricked into becoming parasitized by an alien. His family didn't abandon him; instead, he voluntarily relinquished his power. Meanwhile, the person who plotted against him was paralyzed over a trivial matter.

He was able to come here because he had been paying attention to people like them. Since Yu Meng didn't ask for secrecy, he quickly found the source, but he only came here a month ago.

Secretary Wu thought this was a promising move and directly appointed him as Jingwu. He was put in full charge of this matter.

Jing Ancheng's task was to protect his safety and cooperate with the work.

Jing San also wanted to go, but Secretary Wu wouldn't allow it. His exact words were, "The First Battlefield is a ticking time bomb; all four major families are watching it closely, and we people from Jingchuan have to avoid suspicion."

Jing San looked at Secretary Wu with a grim expression. "Give me a task. I don't want to just sit around doing nothing."

"Okay, wait a few days. I'm worried you'll say you're tired by then."

"Don't give me the ordinary kind, I want the high-risk, high-reward kind."

Secretary Wu glared at him. "This was handled personally by Teacher Yu. Do you have any thoughts on it?"

Jing San was stunned for a moment. "Really? You're not kidding me."

"I knew you were thinking the wrong thing. When Teacher Yu told me about it, I thought I was dreaming!"

"Hmph, since it's Teacher Yu, I'm going back." Jing San left.

Secretary Wu wiped the sweat from his brow. This troublemaker thought someone had stolen his credit, and he was acting like he was going to settle scores. Only Teacher Yu could keep him in check.
