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

"After this match, shouldn't Xiao Zhou get a Zhang Lingyu for the next match?"

“Yes… get rid of Junior Uncle.” Zhang Chulan nodded in agreement, then looked at Zhou Fengliu and added:

"Brother Liu, keep it up! I believe you can do it. Beat your junior uncle until he cries."

He had barely finished speaking when he heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Zhang Chulan? You really hate me, huh?"

"?"

Upon hearing Zhang Lingyu's voice, Zhang Chulan froze. He slowly turned around, a slightly embarrassed smile appearing on his face, and then greeted her:

"What a coincidence, Junior Uncle."

"Hmph..." Zhang Lingyu snorted coldly, ignoring Zhang Chulan and turning his gaze to Zhou Fengliu:

"You still advanced, didn't you? I told you long ago... you have the strength to fight me, you can't have been eliminated so early. The next match... will be a battle of grudges between us, and I will defeat you fair and square."

"..."

Hearing Zhang Lingyu's words, Zhou Fengliu scratched his face and said, "Ayu, did you rig this? You could predict that we would be assigned to the same group as soon as we met... Did you bribe the Old Master?"

“You…” Zhang Lingyu frowned, then corrected Zhou Fengliu’s address once again: “Don’t call me A-Yu!”

"Yes, Master Ayu."

"..."

Zhang Lingyu: "Don't force me, I'll slap you right now..."

"Didn't you say you've always lived an upright life? You've already resorted to dirty tricks against me before the competition even started. How can you defeat me fairly and squarely now..." Zhou Fengliu shrugged and said.

Zhang Lingyu: "..."

At this moment, Zhang Lingyu felt a little regretful.

He regretted coming to Zhou Fengliu's place to check the results immediately after the competition... He had clearly expected this, so why did he bother listening to Zhou Fengliu's verbal sparring...

"Alright...see you tomorrow! All the grudges between us...will be settled tomorrow." Zhang Lingyu left Zhou Fengliu with only these words before turning and leaving.

As soon as he turned to leave, the old Taoist priest who was pushing Tian Jinzhong in a wheelchair in the distance silently raised his eyelids.

...

"Goodbye, Junior Uncle~"

Don't hold a grudge!

Zhang Chulan apologized twice as he watched Zhang Lingyu leave, but Zhang Lingyu didn't respond, which made him sigh.

"As expected... whenever Brother Liu is around, Junior Uncle won't even give me a second glance..."

"Xiao Zhou... what kind of grudge do you have against Zhang Lingyu... why does Zhang Lingyu seem to value you so much? If I remember correctly, Zhang Lingyu's competition just ended, right?" Xu Si asked, lighting a cigarette.

"Fourth Brother... Brother Liu and Junior Uncle, their relationship is truly one of love and hate..." Zhang Chulan had barely finished speaking when Zhou Fengliu glanced at him and dared not say anything more.

"Actually, there's not much of a grudge...it's just that this kid is stubborn." Zhou Fengliu replied.

...

A moment later.

With Feng Baobao's competition over, the list of the top four has been finalized.

Zhou Fengliu – Zhang Lingyu.

Zhang Chulan – Feng Baobao.

When they saw the competition schedule, everyone was a bit confused. Both the audience and the disciples of the Celestial Master's Mansion felt that there was something wrong with the top four.

Three of the top four are employees of NaDuTong! Only one is from their Tianshi Mansion.

If this news gets out, those who watched the competition will know it's the result, while those who didn't might think that the All-Knowing General is trying to take over the Celestial Master's Mansion...

"Not bad, not bad... As long as Xiao Zhou takes down Zhang Lingyu, the mission will be successfully completed." Xu Si said after looking at the match schedule.

"Isn't this a bit... disrespectful to the Celestial Master's Mansion?" Xu San pushed up his glasses, and it seemed to him like he was bullying someone.

Although the stage was set up for Zhang Chulan by the Celestial Master, the competition was still held at the Celestial Master's Mansion, and only one of the four finalists was from the Celestial Master's Mansion...

It would be fine if there were people from other sects among the top four, but the key is that the other three are all experts in their respective fields, which makes it feel like a challenge to another sect.

"There's nothing we can do about it... Who knew that there wouldn't be a single opportunity for an internal battle in this competition?" Xu Si said that it was all destined by fate, that an invisible hand was silently pushing things along.

"Baby, you just need to start the performance with Chu Lan tomorrow, and that'll be all..."

Hearing Xu Si's instructions, Feng Baobao nodded blankly, then looked at Zhou Fengliu and said, "Xiao Zhou, do we need to bury that Zhang Lingyu? I've improved the work process again... It's great, it'll definitely keep him from showing up tomorrow."

"???"

"Sister Bao'er, can you be a decent human being?" Before Zhou Fengliu could say anything, Zhang Chulan stopped him.

"They only have one son left... and you're going to kill him? If the Celestial Master's Mansion finds out... even without the Old Celestial Master's order, all those disciples of the Celestial Master's Mansion would be chopped up..."

Zhang Chulan said that this was absolutely unacceptable.

"What's there to be afraid of... at worst we can just run away." Feng Baobao said, even making a running motion.

"..."

Just as Zhang Chulan was silent, two people walked over from not far away. They were the Feng siblings. As soon as Feng Shayan walked over, she heard Feng Baobao say something like, "Bury it, run away."

"Is Feng Baobao researching how to bury people again?"

Chapter 84 Strength unknown, grows stronger against stronger opponents! (Second update)

"hold head high."

Hearing Feng Shayan's question, Feng Baobao scratched her face and responded with a "Hmph" without any hesitation.

Upon hearing that Feng Baobao actually intended to bury Zhang Lingyu, Feng Shayan remained silent for a second before speaking:

"You should stop now... There are already three of your 'All-Around' people in the top four!"

...

How is the injury?

While Feng Baobao was talking to Feng Shayan, Zhou Fengliu also asked about Feng Xingtong.

"Brother, I'm fine... I really have to thank you for helping me... I have no way to repay you, and I can't offer myself to you... How about this, brother, I'll have my sister offer herself to you in my place."

"What the hell?"

Upon hearing Feng Xingtong's words, Feng Shayan, standing beside him, raised an eyebrow and then looked over:

Is this something you should be saying?

"I was just saying..." Feng Xingtong scratched his head and chuckled.

"Well said, but don't say it again next time," Zhou Fengliu said calmly to Feng Xingtong.

“Okay…” Feng Xingtong nodded, then looked at Zhou Fengliu and said:

"Brother, you've really opened my eyes today... So that's how you use that Qi doll, you really showed me something..."

"However, my brother has now formed a grudge against the Wang family... My sister and I heard when we passed by earlier that Wang Bing's soul wasn't fully recovered, and it's uncertain whether he'll even wake up, given how much Old Master Wang targeted my brother earlier..."

"Who knows, Old Master Wang might cause trouble for my eldest brother..."

Hearing Feng Xingtong's words, Zhou Fengliu shrugged and said:

"Trying to cause me trouble? That's incredibly shameless. I was initially prepared to let Wang Bing off the hook, but that old man Wang himself jumped out and told me to go all out and beat his great-grandson one more time..."

"I gave him face and showed Wang Bing a lot of respect. If he still causes me trouble... that wouldn't be fair..."

Zhou Fengliu argued that he was innocent in terms of both reason and emotion, and if Wang Ai were to cause him trouble, it would mean that Wang Ai was being unreasonable.

“That makes perfect sense…” Xu Si chimed in at this point.

"It's a competition after all... so some bumps and bruises are inevitable. Besides, they didn't even go all out."

"Never mind that... Xiao Zhou, just focus on the competition tomorrow, and I'll take you to a club to relax when we get back!"

"Fourth Brother is so generous..." Zhou Fengliu replied.

...

Night was falling.

Zhou Fengliu was still awake. At this moment, he was thinking about what he should do if Wang Bing died and that old man Wang Ai really came after him.

After this Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, he finally understood that the world of extraordinary people is not just about fighting and killing, but also about human relationships and social interactions. Everyone you pick out has a master and a sect background.

Someone like him, with no connections, can only be fearless when they have nothing to lose.

It's not to say he has absolutely no connections; at least for now, he's still a company employee. It's really unlikely Wang Ai can directly and openly take him down. The only way she can pressure the company to deal with him is by using her position as one of the "Ten Elders"...

Of course, putting pressure on him is one thing, but whether the company pays him any attention is another.

...

If Wang Ai really wants to get me, will the company protect me?

Zhou Fengliu unconsciously began to think about this problem.

The choice between an ordinary company employee and a member of a prestigious family... seems to favor the former.

But if a powerful "excellent" employee is compared to a family business... then the "excellent" employee carries more weight.

...

Wait, why would I think about his background?

It's better to rely on yourself than on others; you need to be strong yourself to succeed.

Zhou Fengliu patted his head, feeling that after participating in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, his thinking had become somewhat constrained by things like aristocratic families and social status.

He's just an employee, he has to rely on himself for everything... As long as he's strong enough, even if Wang Ai really decides to mess with him and he becomes a discarded employee of the company and loses his job, he can still throw caution to the wind and overturn the table.

Once he possesses unparalleled strength, even if he wipes out the Wang family and scatters Wang Ai's ashes, the Ten Elders will still happily worship him...

Thinking of this, Zhou Fengliu, who had never taken Wang Ai seriously, paid even less attention to Wang Ai.

Get stronger, make money...flip the table, we'll talk about the rest later.
