Why did you provoke me?

Secretary Wu came in and looked at the situation in the room, somewhat puzzled.

The cripple's eyes lit up, and he pulled Secretary Wu aside to repeat his thoughts, crying as he said, "Tell me, I'm already like this, how am I any better than those lunatics? Teacher Yu can pity them, why can't she pity me?"

Secretary Wu heard nothing else but the lame man saying he had many capable people. What did he lack? He lacked people!

And so, another person began to eagerly watch Yu Meng.

"Hey, Teacher Yu, look, we've got such a big new territory. We can't do without people," Secretary Wu advised from the side.

Yu Meng laughed in anger, "Do you even know who they are? How dare you use them?"

"Who are they? Once you become their leader, aren't they one of our own?" Secretary Wu muttered under his breath.

The cripple nodded hastily, "That makes sense. You're so strong, subduing them is no problem at all."

Yu Meng turned and walked outside.

The cripple hurriedly shouted, "I'll have a few hall masters come over to see you first, and you can take any one you like as your first recruit."

"What if we don't like the look of them?" Secretary Wu was very cooperative.

"Then beat him until he's to your liking," the cripple shouted, watching Yu Meng's retreating figure.

Yu Meng is gone.

The cripple and Secretary Wu looked at each other.

"Secretary Wu, it's not that I want to hide my identity, it's just that my identity is too special. If you knew, you definitely wouldn't let me stay here."

Secretary Wu wore a professional smile, but in his heart he was thinking, "Now I know who you are, but I still don't understand exactly what you do."

"No way, we can't normally invite someone as important as you. How about I arrange a private room for you?"

The lame man waved his hand, "No need, I'll just go back to my gatehouse."

Secretary Wu watched as he used his hands to forcefully sit down in the chair.

"But you really aren't suited to be a doorman like this." He didn't say it, because this appearance was too damaging to the image of their Jingchuan Guild Hall.

The cripple sighed. "I know I can't even work as a gatekeeper now. But that's all I can do. I can't stop anyone, but I can at least give them a warning if something happens."

Secretary Wu tried to persuade him a few more times, but the lame man insisted on returning to the gatehouse. Secretary Wu finally had no choice but to agree.

Yu Meng felt irritated. What was going on every day?

When Secretary Wu arrived, Yu Meng complained, "Uncle Wu, why are you siding with him too?"

"Teacher Yu, I have no choice. The Jia family withdrew from the first battlefield, and Jingwu's manpower is insufficient. Now there's a fourth battlefield. Although you found Mr. Feng, he's only one person. The work still needs to be done, so who should I send?"

Yu Meng fell silent. It was all Jing San's fault; if it weren't for him, there wouldn't have been so much trouble.

"Uncle Wu, is the Fourth Battlefield keeping an eye on the money?"

"Of course. I sent seven teams over, but there was no one there." Secretary Wu mentioned again that there was no one there.

She glanced at Yu Meng again, "That cripple said he also has a bone-drawing master, a skilled one, who can be brought over and used immediately."

Yu Meng shook her head helplessly, "Uncle Wu, even if I take it over, I can't devote too much attention to these things. You'll be very tired."

Secretary Wu immediately stood up. "What's so tiring about making money? As long as you're there to support me, I can manage even a large number of people. And if all else fails, isn't there still Chief Nangong?"

After the initial excitement wore off, Secretary Wu brought up another matter.

"Teacher Yu, can Mr. Feng stay here with us long-term?"

"What's wrong? There's something wrong with him."

"No, the report from the fourth battlefield has been sent back. I found that he's even better than I thought; he's handled many details on the battlefield. At first, I thought it was a bit of an overreaction, but I calmed down and thought about it for several nights. I found that his plan was the most reasonable, and I tested some parts on the first battlefield with very good results. I thought to myself, it would be great if such a talent could stay in Jingchuan."

Yu Meng smiled, "That's easy to handle. He has someone he cares about most, Qian Chuan, who is helping him recover. Tell Qian Chuan to do his best."

"Really? If he's really cured, he won't just leave, will he?" Secretary Wu asked, a little worried.

"How could that be? He told me back then that as long as that person was alive, he would work for me."

"Okay, then I'll send a message to Qian Chuan and tell him to be more careful, even if it means sending someone to serve him. We can't let someone like that get away; he's just a money-grubber." Secretary Wu's face was full of smiles.

"Teacher Yu, if you encounter someone like this again, you must act quickly. Our family is financially secure, so money is not an issue."

Yu Meng could see it; Secretary Wu was persistent in his dealings with people.

……

The long-haired man and Chen Ming returned to the Chen family home.

Mr. Chen and Teacher Feng analyzed the current situation. Finally, they both looked at the long-haired man.

"Have you located the location where it went out of control?"

"Sir, I went in and checked, and I found something unusual, but I can't control it by myself." Teacher Feng looked worried; she had lost a lot of weight recently.

"Are you alone? Where are the others?" The long-haired man put down his teacup and looked up to ask.

"The others?" Teacher Feng repeated.

Old Chen picked up the conversation, "Her cousin, because of her arrogance, was reinfected by the immortal pet, and her entire group was ruined."

"How could that be? Didn't the Yu sisters promise to treat them?"

"Yes, they treated two more people, but then they had something to do and left?"

"And then what happened? Did no one look for them anymore?"

Teacher Feng looked ashamed. "My cousin and that Sister Xing tried to steal my skills, but they ended up getting hurt instead."

"What?!" The long-haired man was completely stunned. "They stole the technique, and they still haven't mastered it?"

Teacher Feng nodded, and then fell silent.

The long-haired man didn't know what to say.

The road has been built, so why hasn't anyone started using it yet?

"I want to know why no one went to Yu Meng and the others for treatment afterward?"

Teacher Feng smiled bitterly, "According to my cousin, people like them have been marginalized by their families and have almost no resources left. They can't afford to pay for medical treatment."

The long-haired man looked at Old Chen and asked, "Are you aware of these things?"

Old Chen was also surprised, "Why didn't you mention these things?"

"What's the point of saying anything? Can you pay for everyone's expenses?" Teacher Feng asked, puzzled.

"Besides, they might not even appreciate it. I regret it now. Yu Meng did me such a big favor, but these people stole her skills and ruined her reputation."

Old Chen said in a low voice, "You should have told me that even if only one-tenth of the people know how to be grateful, we won't have lost out. You won't be the only one going into the alien battlefield this time."

Teacher Feng shook his head. "You're wrong. None of the real experts in the family have appeared yet. As long as their real interests aren't threatened, no one will provoke this trouble first."

The long-haired man asked again, "What about the fourth battlefield?"

"They sealed it off a long time ago, and it seems like there haven't been any problems," Chen Ming replied from the side. "My men have been keeping an eye on these battlefields, but it seems like people entered the battlefields a few days ago, and then there was no news from them; they haven't come out since."

"So, neither of the two that were given out went wrong?"

Chen Ming lowered his head. "On the surface, yes."

The long-haired man picked up his teacup. He had seen Yu Meng not long ago. If she wasn't there, then who was suppressing the situation on the battlefield?

Could it be that what the cripple said is true, and Yu Meng really is their only way out?
