One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

"You can insult me, but I absolutely cannot tolerate them insulting my junior uncle! These trolls need to be taught a lesson. Today I'm going to teach them what online civility is!"

Chapter 319 Wang Bing, with his mediocre skills, also wants to go?

Sitting on the other side of the sofa, Zhuge Qing looked quite pleased with himself.

He was holding his phone, constantly refreshing his personal social media account.

"Chu Lan is right. If we don't occupy the public opinion front, the enemy will."

Zhuge Qing tossed his blue hair across his forehead with an extremely flamboyant air, watching the number of followers on the screen rise rapidly, and revealed a satisfied smile:

“Look, my fan club is already organizing a welcome party at the airport. They’ve not only prepared banners, but they’re also saying they’re going to book all the big screens in Tokyo for our support.”

"This is what you call cross-border cultural export."

"..." Wang Ye rolled his eyes and simply closed them, pretending to be dead, out of sight, out of mind.

And in the very center of the living room is an oversized beanbag chair.

Zhang Tianyi was lying there comfortably.

While chewing on the grapes that Chen Duo had peeled and handed to him, he held up his phone with one hand and played a match-3 game.

He didn't pay a single punctuation mark to the uproar online.

“Master, they say I’m a person with connections.”

Chen Duo sat beside her, her large, clear eyes looking deep inside, and asked in a very serious tone:

"Those with connections, are they from some powerful sect?"

"puff!"

Zhang Chulan burst out laughing, almost dropping the tablet in his hand.

Zhang Tianyi reached out and gently tapped Chen Duo's forehead.

"Girl, don't listen to their nonsense."

Zhang Tianyi's tone was casual, yet it revealed a self-righteous protectiveness:

"So what if you have connections? There are so many people in this world who want to be a Taoist priest, and my connections don't even put me in the top ranks."

"Once we get to the arena, if anyone dares to bring this up, just use your lightning magic to swell their mouth. Let's see if they still dare to talk bad about you."

"Okay, Master." Chen Duo nodded obediently and continued peeling grapes carefully.

……

While the group of people at Xishan Manor were carefree and preparing for war.

On the other side of Beijing, in the headquarters building of NaDuTong.

Chairman Zhao Fangxu was sitting at his desk with an awkward smile on his face, his hand tightly gripping the telephone receiver.

On the other end of the phone, Wang Ai, the head of the Wang family, roared so loudly that Zhao Fangxu's eardrums rang.

"Zhao Fangxu! How did you become the chairman of this company?!"

Wang Ai's voice on the phone was extremely shrill, and she was clearly furious:

"Of the five competition slots, three are occupied by people from the Celestial Master's Mansion! Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing are now following Zhang Tianyi around like shadows!"

"This is a national team?! Isn't this just their Celestial Master's Mansion's private sightseeing tour group?!"

Wang Ai's cane thumped loudly on the ground.

This international competition is a fantastic opportunity to make a name for myself and gain a lot of prestige!

If any family's younger generation can come out on top, they will not only become famous in the country, but also become a well-known figure in the international community of supernatural beings!

Not to mention, the first prize is the kind of [Longevity Elixir] that would make anyone envious!

How could the Wang family possibly stand by and watch such a lucrative opportunity fall into someone else's hands?!

"Mr. Wang, please calm down, please calm down."

Zhao Fangxu offered his words of comfort slowly, then began practicing his most proficient form of Tai Chi:

"This list was indeed finalized after comprehensive consideration by the board of directors and all parties involved."

"After all, this time we're going to Japan to fight on foreign soil, so we need to send our top, most capable young players, right? Everyone has witnessed Zhang Chulan and Zhang Lingyu's strength..."

"Don't try to fool me with your strength!"

Wang Ai bluntly interrupted Zhao Fangxu's official jargon, revealing her true intentions directly:

"In terms of strength, my great-grandson Wang Bing is also a top genius among the four great families!"

"Although I suffered a minor injury on Mount Longhu, I have now fully recovered. Not only did I turn misfortune into blessing by opening up my eight extraordinary meridians, but my skills in controlling spirits and commanding generals have also become incredibly refined!"

Wang Ai shamelessly began to boast wildly about her grandson, who had just been beaten not long ago.

"This time, representing China in the war, the Wang family must have a place!"

"I don't want much. Just remove either Chen Duo's or Zhang Chulan's qualification and give the spot to Wang Bing!"

"Otherwise, I will immediately join the other ten elders in protesting the unfairness of this list!"

Hearing Wang Ai's shameless request.

Zhao Fangxu wanted to curse this old guy's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.

Change your spot?

If you want to die, don't drag me down with you, okay?!

Kick out Master Tian Shu's first disciple, or his most beloved grandson, from the team, and replace him with your troublemaking grandson?

You actually dared to ask such a potentially disastrous question?!

If we really do that, the headquarters of Nadutong will be struck by the Purple Gold Divine Lightning tomorrow!

"Ahem... Old Wang."

Zhao Fangxu's eyes lit up, and he decided to simply pass the buck.

"It's not that I don't want to help you with this. It's just that the final decision on this list doesn't rest with the company."

Zhao Fangxu's tone was extremely innocent:

"The team leader and head coach this time is Master Tian Shu. Before the trip, Senior Zhang said that the team members must be selected by him personally, and no one else can interfere."

"If you really want Young Master Wang Bing to go... why don't you call Senior Zhang yourself and discuss it?"

On the other end of the phone, Wang Ai's voice suddenly faltered.

It was as if someone had grabbed his throat; he couldn't let out a loud fart for a long time.

Let him go and discuss it with that living Yama who summons heavenly lightning at the slightest disagreement.

Wasn't the humiliation of retrieving the golf balls last time enough?!

"Beep...beep..."

Just when Wang Ai was in a dilemma, an encrypted internal phone call suddenly came through on Zhao Fangxu's landline.

When Zhao Fangxu saw the number, his eyes lit up as if he had seen a savior.

"Mr. Wang, what bad luck! Senior Zhang just happened to call. I guess he's calling to check the tour itinerary."

"How about I connect the line for you, and you two can discuss the quota in person?"

No, no, no!

Wang Ai, who had been shouting more fiercely than anyone else just moments before, was now so frightened that her voice cracked.

"I...I was just speaking offhand. Since the list was personally selected by the real person, it is naturally excellent!"

"I have other business to attend to at the company, so I won't disturb your work-related conversation any longer!"

"Bah!"

The call was disconnected at the speed of light, as if a dog were chasing you.

Zhao Fangxu listened to the busy tone on the phone and curled his lip in disdain.

"Old fox, upon hearing the real person's name, runs faster than a rabbit."

He shook his head, answered the encrypted line, and his tone instantly became as respectful as a gentle spring breeze:

"Hey, Uncle Zhang! What can I do for you?"

At Xishan Manor.

Zhang Tianyi was holding her phone when she lazily yawned.

"Xiao Zhao, I think I just heard a crosstalk on the phone. Who was yelling and shouting that they wanted to replace my people?"

Zhao Fangxu felt a chill run down his spine and quickly explained with a forced smile:

"No, no. It was Grandpa Wang Ai. He was just complaining a bit, saying he wanted his grandson Wang Bing to go and broaden his horizons too."

"However, as soon as he heard that it was you who made the list, he was immediately convinced and expressed his absolute support!"

"Wang Bing?"

Zhang Tianyi raised an eyebrow and a very wicked smile spread across his face.

"Want to broaden your horizons?"

"Sure! I'm the kind of person who loves helping others achieve their goals."

Zhang Tianyi sat up straight, tapped the coffee table, and spoke in an extremely magnanimous tone:

"Xiao Zhao, call Wang Ai back. Tell her I agree, and we can add one more spot for Wang Bing."

"Huh?!" Zhao Fangxu was completely stunned.

When did this living ancestor become so easy to talk to?

"However..."

Zhang Tianyi's tone shifted abruptly, revealing a nonchalant air that suggested he was capable of ruthlessly harming people:

“Our team is all about fighting, his mediocre skills aren’t good enough. We need someone to do the odd jobs.”
