Excessive ferocity due to caution

Inside the hotel.

Zhao Yi saw that Fangfang had returned to normal.

Wu Liang, standing to the side, let out a sigh of relief. It believed that it was its own fault; the training had been too harsh, which was why Fang Fang was like this.

After all, it's a child, even if it's a ghost.

After Fangfang recovered, she quickly fell asleep and collapsed on the sofa, seemingly exhausted.

"How is the leader?"

Zhao turned around, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Her situation is very special."

"If I'm not mistaken, Fangfang, a long, long time ago, was probably... E'lai!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang was surprised.

"Fangfang is..."

"No way?"

Zhao Yi glanced at Fangfang sleeping on the sofa and said:

"She must have reached a bottleneck or a watershed moment, and the strange power born within her grew increasingly strong and unfathomable... To avoid her own demise, Fangfang locked all her power, strange power, and memories into a palace within her own spiritual world!"

"Later, with training, she gradually opened the palace gates."

"As a result, some of the corrupting power leaked out and began to pollute Fangfang's mental world."

Wu Liang glanced at Fangfang with slight concern.

"Let's stop Fangfang's training for now."

"The Jie Sect has grown considerably stronger. With the release of this batch of items from the sect leader, it can create a formidable force. For now, we don't need Fangfang."

Zhao nodded:

"Can."

"Until I find a solution to Fangfang's problem, I will not let her develop her own abilities any further."

Wu Liang agreed.

Zhao Yi dealt with the recent affairs. In fact, most of them had already been handled by the managers selected by Wu Liang. Zhao Yi just glanced at them to get a general idea of ​​what had happened.

The phone rang in the room.

Ring ring—

Zhao Yi answered the phone, and a very seductive woman's voice came from the other end.

"Mr. Zhao... your trip to the capital was truly eye-opening!"

Zhao Yi smiled slightly:

"I don't recall doing anything significant in the capital."

On the other end of the phone, Barbara twirled a strand of hair around her index finger and said lazily:

"It's really not a big deal for someone like you."

"I checked with the entertainment company, and the current situation is not good for you."

Zhao Yi raised an eyebrow:

"Hmm... how should I put it?"

On the other end of the phone, Barbara looked at the newspaper in her hand and clicked her tongue:

"You know, once a piece of news spreads from ten to a hundred, from a hundred to a thousand, it will completely deviate from its original form."

"Besides, you've offended a lot of people."

"This is how people with ulterior motives have portrayed you as a ruthless killer who deserves to be punished by everyone in the capital."

"After this, you may encounter many problems if you go to develop your career in the capital."

Zhao Yi said calmly:

"It doesn't matter."

Barbara's expression became much more serious.

"Don't you mind this kind of slander?"

Zhao Yi smiled and said:

"It's not exactly a stain."

"I do kill without blinking an eye."

Barbara remained silent for a long while.

"It won't be long before a lot of trouble comes your way, and this time, I can't easily get involved, after all, Master Liu is no longer here."

Zhao Yi:

"It doesn't matter, I'll take action."

Barbara's tone became much more serious.

"The capital city is not like the suburbs or urban areas outside. Have you thought this through?"

Zhao Yi replied:

"Whether they are intentional or hopeless idiots being used as pawns... I don't care."

"I also don't like arguing with others about right and wrong all the time."

"To get peace and quiet, you don't necessarily have to convince the other party."

"You can also choose to just kill him."

Barbara let out a long breath.

"Your growth rate is obvious to all, which is why you are more likely to die young."

"Be careful in everything you do, believe me, the storm is coming soon."

Zhao nodded.

"The Liu Group's influence in the ruined city can be withdrawn first. You can come in after the dust settles."

Barbara had helped him a lot; she had given him crucial support when he fought against other guilds.

Currently, Zhao Yi is facing retaliation from the capital and does not want to involve the Liu Group.

That would only cause him trouble later.

Barbara did not feign reluctance.

Since Liu Ruoqing went to the Immortal Path, the Liu Group has not been as good as before. Without its backbone, it has become very difficult for her to run the company.

If the group's power is subjected to a major external attack at this time, it may collapse into a disorganized mess.

Barbara knew very well that without Liu Ruoqing's suppression, if she wanted to keep the people of the Liu Group under control, she would have to rely on huge profits and a safe and stable environment.

The friendship she built with Zhao Yi will likely become an important factor in the future expansion of the Liu Group!

Be extra careful.

Barbara hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and her eyes were filled with deep, hidden shock.

She had spoken with people at the entertainment company.

So she knew what Zhao Yi had done in the Infernal Realm, and how he had broken through the Great Calamity, modified the formation and laws, created the impossible in the face of adversity, and returned to the capital!

Barbara knew that Zhao Yi was an extremely capable person.

But she never expected Zhao Yiqiang to have gone to such a state.

It seems that every time news about Zhao Yi appears, it brings her great surprise and shock!

"As expected of the man Master Liu has chosen, how many more surprises can you bring me..."

Barbara's eyes gleamed with admiration as she gazed at Zhao Yi's portrait in the newspaper she held...

……

Two or three days later, Fangfang returned to normal.

The entertainment company Fengnan sent Zhao Yi an invitation to participate in a film that would help him become a movie star.

"Although there's an option to use connections, I'm still insisting that you go through the proper procedures. This will greatly benefit your future development within the entertainment company."

Feng Nan said this on the other end of the holographic projection.

"Neither I nor even Mr. Yan have all the authority of an entertainment company. For those who get promoted through back channels, the further they go, the more difficult it becomes for each step."

Zhao Yidao:

"I understand the logic, you don't need to explain too much."

"But I still want to ask... how many people were involved in this film?"

Fengnan retrieved a document.

Zhao Yi raised an eyebrow:

"This isn't another article you wrote, is it?"

Feng Nan's hand holding the manuscript stiffened slightly.

"no."

"It's some... things that you're interested in."

Zhao Yi was somewhat surprised:

"Am I interested?"

Tell me about it.

Feng Nan said expressionlessly:

"The message has already been sent to the capital."

"This film... will involve many members of the imperial capital families."

A slight smile appeared on Zhao Yi's lips:

"What a group of people who hate evil so much!"

Fengnan Correction:

"You're giving them too much credit."

"They are all hypocrites. Their claim of fighting evil and protecting the righteous path is just a pretense. Their real intention is to climb to the top by stepping on your name."

"That's really dirty."

Zhao Yi's tone was ambiguous.

"Human bodies are largely the same, but the spirit is not... It can grow into any twisted and bizarre shape at will."

"Want to be bloodied and bruised, yet still dignified and elegant."

"That's what a human being is like."

Feng Nan raised his eyebrows:

"That's a good point."

"I'm going to take it out and show it off later."

Zhao Yi:

"..."

Fengnan:

"This is probably the second to last film you've worked on at the entertainment company."

"I hope you cherish it."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi's heart stirred slightly, and he asked:

Why do you say that?

Fengnan:

"That's the procedure."

"We're going to promote you to a management position in our entertainment company."

Zhao Yidao:

"So, once I become a manager at an entertainment company, I won't be able to act in movies anymore?"

Feng Nan seemed to know that Zhao Yiyi was referring to something, and explained:

"Becoming a manager in an entertainment company also brings generous points and access to a special in-game store... Moreover, it makes it easier for you to cultivate your own power base."

Zhao lit a cigarette, threw the pack on the table, and his tone became dangerous:

"Then please make sure to promote it widely."

"The more people involved in the film, the better."

Pungnam Province:

"certainly."

"The next movie... will be a grand celebration!"

Zhao Yi suddenly said again:

"After I go and act in a movie, won't people from Beijing take advantage of the situation?"

"After all, my roots are in Guxuan Town."

Feng Nan was silent for a moment, then suddenly said:

"Old Yan won't sit idly by."

"For the sake of the company's survival, he cannot openly offend the four major families in the capital, but it is still acceptable for him to play some tricks behind the scenes."

"Anyway... that's his forte."

Zhao Yi was not surprised.

To have managed to maintain the normal operation of the entertainment company despite the encroachment of many powerful forces in the capital and the disarray among the people, Yan She must have extraordinary means.

"What genre is the next movie?"

"Xu Shengzhi will tell you; I've already sent him all the information."

Hang up.

Zhao Yi summoned Xu Shengzhi.

The latter looked as weak as ever, clearly having spent a lot of time seeking inspiration.

"Master...hehe!"

Xu Shengzhi, with a sly grin, placed the documents in front of Zhao Yi.

"The next movie is a sequel to the previous one, and there are three... It depends on your choice."

"The first one is 【Sword Evil, Human Evil, How Can There Be No Name】, set in the Warring States period."

"The second one is [The Last Man Standing], which is set in a supernatural city."

"The third one is the [City of Chaos Bandits], whose world is set in a chaotic city."

Zhao Yi looked at the three worldviews before him and fell into thought.

To be honest, he really wanted to go back to the chaotic city to take another look.

But that place was really unsuitable for cleaning up the bugs.

The map is too large, and the spatial laws are too chaotic.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Yi called out Su Qingyao.

"Would you like to meet your father?"

"At this time, your father should be quite old."

"Why did he kill you back then... you can ask him to find out."

Su Qingyao's pretty face was calm.

"Actually, I don't really care about what happened back then anymore..."

In the dungeon 【Sword Demon, Human Demon, How Can He Be Nameless】, she saw what kind of person her father was.

At that moment, Su Qingyao realized that her father was a kind and compassionate man, and that he would never have given up on his daughter's life unless there was a special reason.

As for what exactly the secret was... Su Qingyao no longer cared so much.

Zhao Yi understood, of course, that Su Qingyao was saying this because she didn't want to interfere with his decision.

However, for Zhao Yi, the remaining two choices are not that different.

Using a movie as an excuse... to commit murder.

"Then let's choose the first one..."

Zhao Yi said.

"Let's go back to the martial arts world and see some old friends."

He had something on his mind.

Ren Wudi and he also had an agreement.

If we can defeat Ren Wudi in the Warring States period, then the Jie Sect will gain another extremely powerful general!

After receiving Zhao Yi's orders, Xu Shengzhi began to work on this matter.

Zhao Yi went to Havel's Cemetery and found Ouyang Feng's body there.

With the help of the power left by Havel, Ouyang Feng's body was preserved very well, showing almost no signs of aging.

Zhao Yi approached the sleeping Ouyang Feng and used the "Zi Bu Yu" divine power on him.

Using his mental power as a rainbow bridge, he connected Ouyang Feng's dormant consciousness to the depths of his mind.

Upon entering, Zhao Yi initially assumed that this mad inventor would be immersed in a world of invention and research.

However, in reality, Ouyang Feng's inner world is quite different from what one might imagine.

There was only a forest, a river, and a small wooden house.

The old man sat in a rattan chair he had made himself, swaying gently in front of the river, his face peaceful and serene.

The water is silent, the wind is invisible.

It was exceptionally tranquil.

Who is it?

The old man's tone carried a hint of displeasure.

"Are you here to bother the old man as he waits to die again?"

Zhao Yi walked towards the old man:

"again?"

"Has anyone come in and disturbed you before?"

Upon hearing this, the old man turned his head to the side, his expression showing a hint of curiosity.

"Interesting... Young man, I sealed my mental world, how did you get in?"

Zhao Yi explained:

"I have a very powerful supernatural ability that allows me to establish a bridge for communication with others through our thoughts."

Ouyang Feng said lazily:

"That sounds interesting."

"But it's no use you coming to me... I'm an old man, and all I want to do now is quietly wait to die. I don't want to do anything else."

Zhao Yi came up behind the old man and placed his hand on the rattan chair the old man had made, stopping it from shaking.

"I came to see you because I wanted to ask you about Addison."

When Edison was mentioned, Ouyang Feng's expression changed slightly.

"Addison?"

"What's wrong with it?"

Zhao Yi calmly said:

"It's dead."

Suddenly, the old man stood up from the wicker chair!

"Is Eddie dead or alive?"

"Who did it?"

Zhao Yi:

"church."

"It was desperately searching for a way to help you prolong your lives."

"That's how we met, and later..."

He recounted the events that had occurred in Guxuan Town one by one.

Looking at the silent Ouyang Feng, Zhao Yi asked:

Is there any way to revive Addison?

Ouyang Feng closed his eyes and sighed softly.

There's no way.

"Addison...I didn't create him."

"I just created a metal machine without emotions to take care of my daily life."

"Its birth... was a blessing of creation, not my ability."

"I admit I have deep feelings for Addison, but I am a dying man... and I no longer have the ability to avenge him."

He turned his head and looked at Zhao Yi.

"Go back, young man."

"Whatever you do... I'm sorry to disappoint you."

P.S.: A lot happened today. I'll tell you more after I finish the next two chapters.
