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

"What a terrible thing... what a terrible thing..."

The old master was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, but he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.

Just as these two brothers were getting along well, they were being affectionate and respectful to each other.

A series of slightly noisy and tired footsteps came from the mountain path at the entrance of the square.

"Phew... I'm exhausted... These Quanxing bastards run faster than rabbits."

Amidst a heavy smell of smoke, Xu Si walked in, a cigarette dangling from his hand, looking gloomy.

His suit was somewhat disheveled, and his tie was crooked, clearly indicating that he had just been through a fierce battle.

Behind him followed Xu San, who was pushing up his glasses and had a serious expression.

There's also Zhang Chulan, who, despite being covered in dust, is full of energy, and Feng Baobao, carrying a shovel and looking adorably dazed.

Behind them were employees of the Na Du Tong Company, escorting a long line of Quanxing demons who were bound hand and foot.

"Wow, it's so lively here?"

As soon as Xu Si entered the square, he saw the mess on the ground, as well as the old Celestial Master standing in front of the main hall and that... peculiar white-robed Taoist.

He first threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stomped it out, then put on a professional smile and strode forward:

"Master Celestial! This junior, Xu Si, pays my respects to you."

"It seems the trouble on the mountain has been resolved? As expected of the summit, even though we rushed here, we were still a step too late."

The old celestial master put away the expression he had just displayed while playfully fighting with his junior brother, reverting to his inscrutable demeanor, and nodded slightly:

"Thank you all for your hard work, everyone from Na Du Tong. If it weren't for your interception at the foot of the mountain, many more demons would have escaped."

"Hey, of course, of course."

Xu Si waved his hand, but his eyes darted around the square as if searching for something.

Sudden.

His eyes narrowed, like a hunting dog spotting its prey.

His gaze swept across the crowd and landed precisely on Zhang Lingyu, who was holding Xia He and preparing to slip away into the backyard guest room amidst the chaos.

"Huh? That's..."

Xu Si's eyes lit up instantly.

As the person in charge of the company, he was all too aware of the value of Quanxing's core members.

One of the Four Madmen, Xia He, the Bone-Scraping Knife!

That's a big fish!

"Master Lingyu! Please wait!"

Xu Si shouted, his voice filled with urgency and excitement.

This shout startled Zhang Lingyu, who was already feeling guilty, so much so that he froze in place.

With his back to Xu Si, he held Xia He tightly in his arms, and his handsome face instantly fell.

It’s over.

What are you afraid of?

Xu Si strode forward and stood directly in front of Zhang Lingyu.

He glanced at the unconscious Xia He, then at Zhang Lingyu, whose face was flushed, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a serious, businesslike demeanor.

"Master Lingyu, you've worked hard."

Xu Si extended his hand, pointed at Xia He, and said in a polite but unquestionable tone:

"Xia He, the one who used the bone-scraping knife, is a core member of Quanxing and a major criminal on the company's wanted list. Since he has already been captured by the real person, then... let's hand him over to our company to deal with."

“We will take her back to the headquarters of Nadutong, lock her in the bunker, and conduct a proper interrogation and detention.”

Zhang Lingyu's hand tightened instantly.

Hand it over to the company?

Lock them in the bunker?

Although he had never been to the bunker, he had heard of it.

Once you're inside, you'll basically never see the light of day again in your life.

Moreover, once Xia He falls into the company's hands, she will inevitably be subjected to severe torture.

"This……"

Zhang Lingyu bit her lip, her eyes flickering, and subconsciously took a half step back, her resistance obvious.

"Um... Mr. Xu, she's seriously injured, I'd like to take her to get treatment first..."

"Our company's medical department is also very professional when it comes to treating injuries."

Before Xu Si could speak, Xu San, who was standing next to him, pushed up his glasses, stepped forward, and said in a serious tone:

“Master Lingyu, please don’t make things difficult for us. The Quanxing’s attack on the mountain caused immense damage, and every core member must face legal consequences. That’s the rule.”

Na Du Tong represents the official authorities and the order of the supernatural world.

Faced with the greater good and the rules, Zhang Lingyu, a well-behaved child who grew up in the mountains, was speechless and didn't know how to refute.

Zhang Chulan stood aside, looking at his junior uncle's constipated expression, and knew exactly what was going on.

"Tsk tsk, Fourth Brother, you really know how to bring up the most sensitive topics."

Zhang Chulan muttered under his breath, "These aren't prisoners, they're a young couple. If you take them away now, aren't you just breaking up a loving couple?"

Feng Baobao tilted her head and said bluntly, "That girl has a big butt. Zhang Pika said she's good at bearing children, so she can't be given to the company."

Zhang Chulan quickly covered Bao'er's mouth: "Sis! Dear sis! Can't we stop adding insult to injury right now?!"

Just when Zhang Lingyu was isolated and helpless, and Xu San and Xu Si were pressing closer and closer, preparing to forcibly take over Xia He.

"Snapped."

A slender, fair hand rested naturally on Xu Si's shoulder.

Xu Si was startled.

He didn't use any force with that hand, but he felt half of his body go numb instantly, as if he were entangled in a high-voltage power line.

An aura, carrying a faint sense of languor yet exuding extreme dominance, enveloped him from behind.

"Hey, Xiao Xu."

Zhang Tianyi's slow and deliberate voice rang out.

He had walked over at some point and stood between Xu Si and Zhang Lingyu, subtly shielding Zhang Lingyu and Xia He behind him with the wide sleeves of his white Taoist robe.

"Isn't your company's business scope a bit too broad?"

Xu Si turned his head with difficulty and looked at the smiling face wearing sunglasses so close to his face. A layer of cold sweat instantly seeped out on his forehead.

"Tian... Tian Shu Zhenren?"

Xu Si swallowed hard and forced a smile:

"Look at what you're saying, we're just doing our job. This Quanxing demon..."

"magician?"

Zhang Tianyi interrupted him, picked at her ear with her little finger, and looked impatient:

"What kind of sorcerer? I didn't see one."

"I only saw my junior apprentice carrying an injured female pilgrim, preparing to take her to a guest room to rest."

"What? You guys from Nadutong are now even arresting pilgrims from Longhu Mountain?"

"This……"

Xu Si and Xu San exchanged a glance, both dumbfounded.

Refers to a deer as a horse?

This is too blatant!

"Real person, you must be joking."

Xu San frowned and said, "That's Xia He, the Bone-Scraping Knife. Everyone in the world knows her. Your protection of her like this is probably against the rules, isn't it? If word gets out, it will damage the reputation of the Celestial Master's Mansion..."

"rule?"

The smile on Zhang Tianyi's face vanished instantly.

He took a step forward.

boom!

An invisible, violent, and overwhelming pressure of thunder instantly erupted from him!

Xu San and Xu Si felt a tightness in their chests, as if they were being stared at by an ancient ferocious beast, and instinctively took several steps back.

In the surrounding air, faint purple arcs of electricity flickered, emitting a teeth-grinding "sizzling" sound.

“In Longhu Mountain, my senior brother’s words are the rule.”

"My words..."

Zhang Tianyi pointed to his nose, his eyes flashing purple light behind his sunglasses:

That makes sense!

He reached out and pointed at Xia He in Zhang Lingyu's arms, his tone extremely domineering:

"This girl was injured by me."

"I was the one who asked Lingyu to take it back."

"From now on, she is under the jurisdiction of Longhu Mountain. Consider it... well, consider it labor reform, consider it hostage detention, whatever you like."

Anyway, I've kept the person.

Under immense pressure, Xu Si gritted his teeth and said:
