Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five

The leader of the Bihe Ren clan at the time issued a challenge to the Tang Clan, agreeing to each select ten men to fight a decisive battle inside the Toutian Cave.

Among them, Eita, the demon of that generation, was among the ten members of the Higanbana ninja, wielding Hirumaru.

The Tang Clan accepted the challenge, and the two sides fought fiercely inside the cave. In the end, the Tang Clan lost several heroes but won the battle in the Demon Cave.

The demon wielding the demon sword Hirumaru, despite suffering from multiple poisons and internal and external injuries, managed to escape the Tang Clan's pursuit, disappearing with the demon sword at large...

The appearance of the demon sword in the Northeast region proves that Eita the Demon King did indeed die on the land of China.

...

As Zhao Fangxu recounted that brutal history, Zhou Fengliu's expression grew solemn.

After Zhao Fangxu explained it to him, he understood why the Tang Clan was losing talent.

With so many people lost, it's no wonder that Xu Xin is the only one left who can use the Pill Devouring Technique...

In fact.

Not just the Tang Clan...

Other sects also contributed their own strength, to varying degrees, during that brutal period of history...

Some sects, in the end, are left with only one survivor to pass on their techniques... others don't even have that one survivor left, and their sect's techniques are lost...

"Mr. Zhao, what do you need me to do?"

After hearing the background of the story, Zhou Fengliu asked directly.

"This is the second thing I want to talk about. At the banquet when King Nathan came to Shenzhou, Ishikawa Shin, the president of the Fish and Dragon Society, discussed with me that if we really found the demon sword Hiruma, we should have them escort it back to the country and destroy it. I agreed at the time."

"I just had Chairman Su contact the Fish-Dragon Society, and after confirming the identity of the demon sword, Ishikawa Shin is preparing to come and personally receive and destroy it..."

Chapter 489 Tao Tao, she's really about to face her doom! (Second Update)

"In addition, I also contacted the Tang Clan and the Lü family. Both families suffered heavy losses in that battle. Now that the demonic blade has appeared, they deserve an explanation."

"Xiao Zhou, you are the honorary principal of the Tang Clan, and you've also met Ishikawa Shin. After much consideration, I feel that sending you to the Northeast region is the most suitable..."

"First, go help Lao Gao and keep things under control..."

"Secondly, if anything unexpected were to happen, I have confidence in your abilities..."

Zhao Fangxu stood in the headquarters building and said very seriously.

With Zhou Fengliu, a strategic director, stationed in the Northeast, Zhao Fangxu could rest assured.

"Just to keep things under control? Nothing else?" Zhou Fengliu asked when Zhao Fangxu didn't say anything more.

"Hmm? What else do you want?" Zhao Fangxu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Oh, it's nothing, it just felt a bit bland. After all, the last mission was to teach Behemoth a lesson..."

"I was thinking you'd have to give the Fish Dragon Society some kind of job this time, and I'm absolutely capable of it. As long as the boss is willing to pay extra, I'll just handcraft two tactical missiles and send them over..."

Zhou Fengliu said that he missed the anti-Japanese war period, so this time he took the opportunity to let Xiaoyinghua know what it means that "the times have changed".

Upon learning of Zhou Fengliu's idea, Zhao Fangxu at headquarters immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"Xiao Zhou, calm down... The Fish-Dragon Society is here to destroy the demon sword. According to Sakura, they are all law-abiding citizens. Don't escalate the conflict first..."

Hearing Zhao Fangxu's instructions, Zhou Fengliu had no choice but to give up.

He was a little confused; if it was just about escorting the demon sword, it didn't seem necessary to send in a strategic-level director like himself...

Forget it.

This season also happens to be the time when it snows in Northeast China, so let's treat it as a government-funded trip to the Northeast region.

After listening to Zhao Fangxu's considerations, Zhou Fengliu reassured him:

"Okay, Mr. Zhao, I promise not to escalate the conflict first. I'll pack up and head to the Northeast region."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Xiao Zhou. We'll make up for the days you worked overtime with by giving you time off later..."

Zhao Fangxu breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Zhou Fengliu's assurance.

The phone hangs up.

He wiped away the cold sweat that had just been brought up by Zhou Fengliu's words.

If Zhou Fengliu really gets carried away and sends two big treasures to the Fish and Dragon Society, he'll have a terrible headache.

and many more...

Why did Xiao Zhou give the Fish and Dragon Society a job?

Wasn't it Biheshan who came to cause trouble back then?

...

Um...

Fortunately, Ishikawa Shin, the president of the Fish Dragon Association, was unaware of the phone call. If he had known, he would have said: "I'm at 8 a.m.!"

On the other end, after hanging up the phone, Zhou Fengliu stretched and then placed the phone on the dining table.

Zhang Lingyu, who had been staring at him expectantly for a while, finally asked, "What happened?"

"General Manager Zhao said something happened in the Northeast... He said they discovered a demon sword and need to escort it. I'll probably have to take a break for a while. I have to go to the Northeast on a business trip."

After Zhou Fengliu finished speaking, he glanced at the people in the room:

"Who among you is planning to go on a business trip with me?"

"..."

Faced with Jay Chou's troop deployment, Zhang Lingyu had nothing to say and indicated that he could do it.

However, his request to fight was flatly rejected by Zhou Fengliu.

"You should stay and oversee South China."

"Where is Chen Duo?" Zhou Fengliu asked.

Upon hearing Zhou Fengliu call her name, Chen Duo, who had only been back in her room for two and a half minutes, poked her head out. Chen Junyan, her dog, was also secretly observing her.

"What's the matter?"

Are you going on a business trip?

Zhou Fengliu asked the question, then, as if anticipating his words, said in advance, "There's no bonus, only overtime pay..."

Look...

What does it mean to say that no one knows a student better than their teacher?

Before Chen Duo could even speak, Zhou Fengliu had already predicted what Chen Duo's first words would be.

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, Chen Duo stroked her chin, pretending to think, and then looked at Zhou Fengliu and asked:

You want me to go?

"..."

"Go or don't go, it's up to you... It's not like I'm forcing you."

Zhou Fengliu stated that he never forces his employees.

"Then... I think I won't go."

"Alright, I was originally planning to broaden your horizons and show you the snow in Northeast China, as well as the bathing culture and stuff... Since you don't want to go, then that's fine."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing the word "snow," Chen Duo suddenly perked up.

Obviously.

She wanted to see the snow in Northeast China...

"I go."

Before she could speak, Fu Rong, who had also caught the key words, spoke first:

"If she won't go, I will. I want to see what the bathing culture in Northeast China is really like..."

Fu Rong, influenced by Zhou Fengliu, said she didn't care about snow or not; she was mainly interested in the interesting bathing culture in Northeast China...

"Ok?"

Hearing Fu Rong's enthusiastic voice, Zhou Fengliu raised an eyebrow, then turned to look at Fu Rong and said:

"Rongzi, you've changed..."

"Me? How have I changed?" Fu Rong asked, puzzled.

Seeing Fu Rong feigning ignorance, Zhou Fengliu raised his left hand, mimicking Fu Rong's mannerisms from before, and spoke again:

"I, Fu Rong, am sworn enemies with that despicable place!"

"..."

Watching Zhou Fengliu imitate her, Fu Rong felt a sense of dread. Her fair face turned bright red, like a monkey's bottom.

"What do you know... I was just playing hard to get!"

"No, you're just saying one thing but doing another."

Zhou Fengliu exposed Fu Rong's lie, and then saw Tao Tao, the teacher, walking towards the room. He stopped Tao Tao and said:

"Teacher Tao, don't you have any ideas?"

"?"

Tao Tao, who was called out, turned her head in surprise: "I don't think that's necessary... I've been busy with work lately."

"Whatever you want. I'm just reminding you that Elder Tang seems to be going too... If he asks why you didn't come along... then I'll just tell him the truth."

"what?"

Upon hearing that Tang Miaoxing would also be going, Tao Tao, who had originally planned to continue slacking off in South China, suddenly became extremely nervous, like a student being randomly selected by the teacher.

"Actually... I can put work aside for now, but I mainly want to go on a business trip."

With her survival instincts at their peak, Tao Tao looked at Zhou Fengliu and said very seriously.
