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

Zhou Fengliu had no connection with Tian Jinzhong, and rescuing him was just a matter of convenience.

Saving Tian Jinzhong and gaining favors from the Celestial Master's Mansion seems like a worthwhile deal, so why not?

Moreover... if he remembered correctly, once Tian Jinzhong died, the Old Celestial Master would descend the mountain and go on a killing spree, indiscriminately preparing to wipe out the Quanxing sect. This would be a major event in both the real world and the world of supernatural beings.

The Celestial Master's descent from the mountain disrupted the balance among the supernatural beings, something that the All-Knowing Company certainly didn't want to see. As a company employee, it was his duty to defuse this potential problem beforehand, and he might even get a bonus for talking to Xu Si about it.

Zhou Fengliu stated that he absolutely did not rescue Tian Jinzhong in order to ask for a reward from his superiors; absolutely not.

He was simply upholding the professional ethics of employees at Nadutong Company.

Ok.

Thinking about this, Zhou Fengliu suddenly realized how dedicated his all-knowing employee was.

...

As for why Zhou Fengliu didn't report the Celestial Master's Mansion in advance and capture the traitor Gong Qing... that was something Zhou Fengliu hadn't considered before.

After all, he's not Zhang Chulan; he's here to get the prize money.

Putting aside this grand Luo Tian ceremony, he had absolutely no connection with the Celestial Master's Mansion, so naturally he didn't have much interest in it. Even the idea of ​​saving Tian Jinzhong only came to him after he learned that he would have to work overtime.

...

Ding--

Just as Zhou Fengliu was on his way, his phone beeped with a message. He took out his phone and saw that Xia He had sent him a message.

[You have the Heavenly Scroll in your possession, and all the Quanxing members who are coming up the mountain are watching you. Where are you? Stay here and don't move... I'm coming to find you.]

Upon seeing this message, Zhou Fengliu frowned.

And you're telling me not to move around?

how?

Is she going to buy me an orange?

Regardless of.

Zhou Fengliu still didn't reply to Xia He's message and prepared to continue walking towards Tian Jinzhong's courtyard. He hadn't taken two steps when he heard a noise behind him.

"Young man, why don't you stay out so late at night?"

It was a male voice. Zhou Fengliu turned around and saw men, women, old and young, and several Quanxing disciples.

The old man at the head of the group was hunched over, with his hands behind his back and a string of beads in his hand. This man was Yuan Tao, a personal weapon refiner of Quanxing with ten and a half years of weapon refining experience.

"Old Deng, you were looking for me?" Zhou Fengliu said without any politeness.

Old Deng?

Hearing this address, Yuan Tao wasn't angry. He simply twirled the beads in his hand and said:

"Yes, I'm looking for you, Zhou Fengliu, right? You're the company employee who killed that old bald monk Gao Ning not long ago, aren't you?"

"What? You want revenge?"

"No, no, no." Yuan Tao shook her head:

“I’m not familiar with him, so I can’t say I’m seeking revenge. His death is just because he was less skilled. I’m here to borrow your Tongtian Record for a look and to leave a copy.”

"Don't worry, as long as you leave us a copy, we will definitely not make things difficult for you."

"They came for the Tongtian Talisman."

Zhou Fengliu wasn't too surprised, since even though he hadn't read much of the original plot, Xia He had just sent him a message reminding him.

"Old Yuan, why are you talking to him about this? Do you think he'll just give it to us willingly?" a young comrade in the group said.

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Fengliu across from him replied, "Want the Heavenly Scroll? No problem, do you have any money?"

"?"

"money?"

Upon hearing Zhou Fengliu mention money, everyone raised an eyebrow: "What money?"

"You want the Tongtian Talisman? Do you expect to get it for free?" Zhou Fengliu said that it wasn't impossible to get the Tongtian Talisman, but there had to be enough benefits in exchange. He couldn't let anyone get something for free.

Zhou Fengliu has always adhered to the principle of double standards. He can get others to take advantage of him for free, but he can't let others take advantage of him for free. His main feature is the ultimate double standard.

The saying goes, "Double standards may bring temporary pleasure, but the pleasure of consistently applying double standards will only continue."

...

"Young man, that's really interesting. If Lu Jin knew you were using his Eight Extraordinary Techniques to make money, he'd probably die of anger..."

Yuan Tao chuckled. He clearly hadn't expected Zhou Fengliu to measure the value of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques in monetary terms.

"Since you've brought it up, young man... how much do you want?"

Chapter 99: A fierce battle ensues, the entire audience cheers! (Second update)

Hearing Yuan Tao's words, Zhou Fengliu was not in a hurry to make a price offer. At that moment, he had just thought of a problem.

These eight extraordinary skills are not very useful to him, but he could consider exchanging them for money. However, could the money obtained be considered as income from work?

If it can't be considered as income from work, then it's not worth considering.

"Well, these are the Eight Extraordinary Skills, so a regular price wouldn't be enough to show their value," Zhou Fengliu said after a pause.

"Here's what we'll do: if you're really serious about wanting it, I'll organize an auction in a while. Everyone will bid fairly, and the highest bidder will win. Just make sure you have the money ready."

Everyone laughed upon hearing Zhou Fengliu's words.

An auction... If they truly valued the rules, would they even be here?

"Young man, what if I don't want to pay and just want this Heavenly Scroll?" Yuan Tao declared that he was going to get it for free today.

"Old Yuan, why waste words with him? Can't you see? This kid's just looking to make fun of us! Let's just rob him and be done with it!"

The young comrade next to Yuan Tao was very ambitious and rushed forward to snatch it from Zhou Fengliu.

"Young man... if you don't have money, just say you don't have money. If you say I'm dishonest, then that's not right of you."

Zhou Fengliu smiled, speaking like a smiling tiger. Then, he raised his left hand and swung it out, hitting the young man squarely in the face.

The moment his hand made contact with the other person, the force that erupted deformed the other person's face, and if you listened carefully, you could even hear the sound of bones cracking.

boom--

With a loud crash, the young man smashed through several old trees, crashed into a large rock, and then fell silent.

"Young man, you're so arrogant," Yuan Tao sighed, finding the young man's overestimation of his abilities foolish.

How could someone who could kill Lei Yanpao Gao Ning and then slap elite disciples from various sects on a stage like the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony be an ordinary person?

After sighing, Yuan Tao didn't say anything more. He saw Zhou Fengliu take apart the bracelet in his hand and casually throw out two beads. These two beads, wrapped in Qi, flew towards Zhou Fengliu at an extremely fast speed.

Zhou Fengliu dodged to the side with remarkable agility.

Seeing that Zhou Fengliu had actually dodged, Yuan Tao chuckled: "Young brother, you're quite skilled. These Nine Dragon Sons are magical artifacts that I've spent my entire life crafting. I wonder how many you can withstand."

Yuan Tao is a bit of a psychopath.

His greatest pleasure comes from destroying promising young talents before they even grow up; it gives him a lot of enjoyment.

The rising star in front of him was clearly a promising talent, and he was happy to play with Zhou Fengliu for a while before ruining him.

...

Just as Zhou Fengliu was being stopped by Yuan Tao and his group, a group of Lu family members led by Lu Jin were lying in wait not far away.

Among them are Canglong, Lu Linglong, Wang Ergou, and others. They haven't left Longhu Mountain yet because they want to ambush Quanxing.

"Great-grandfather, shouldn't we go down and help him?" Lu Linglong asked Lu Jin quietly as she saw Zhou Fengliu already fighting with the Quanxing people.

"No rush, let that kid suffer a bit."

Lu Jin was a little angry at this moment. When he led his men to Yuan Tao's place, he heard Zhou Fengliu say that he was going to auction the Tongtian Talisman.

That brat... he's really infuriating.

Lu Jin declared that he wanted to see Zhou Fengliu suffer and vomit blood today.

He knew Yuan Tao, who was opposite him, as he was a weapon refiner. The magic weapon he held, the Nine Dragons, had different abilities for each bead. If they used all of them, he would be very difficult to deal with.

Just as Lu Jin was anticipating the scene of Zhou Fengliu vomiting blood, Zhou Fengliu didn't have much time to play with Yuan Tao.

"Old Deng, I don't have time to play with you today."

Zhou Fengliu remained calm. Normally, he might have played around with Yuan Tao to kill some time, but today he had things to do, so he naturally chose to finish quickly.

As he slightly circulated his Qi, the great sword in his backpack seemed to be summoned and emerged from the backpack.

In its fragmented state, it gathered into a short, straight blade in front of Yuan Tao and the other Quanxing disciples.

"This is... a magical artifact?"

Before Yuan Tao could finish her surprise, she saw Zhou Fengliu opposite her swing his sword downwards and activate the skill [100% chance of being caught bare-handed]. Then, as if he had appeared out of thin air, he appeared under Zhou Fengliu's blade, kneeling to catch the sword.

"When?"

Yuan Tao frowned, clearly not expecting to appear out of thin air. Before he could dodge, he suddenly felt a gust of wind from a palm strike, and Zhou Fengliu slapped him with a powerful blow.

not good!

Yuan Tao sensed danger and hurriedly activated the Chiwen Pearl for defense, but the distance was still too close.

The powerful blow landed squarely on his old face. In that instant, he felt a large truck speeding past and running over his face. The force was so great that he even saw his dead father waving at him.

Son! Come quick!

Yuan Tao flew out, her mind filled with a flurry of memories.

"grandfather..."

Just as he flew out, a chubby boy who looked a bit dim-witted caught him quickly while wearing a pair of rabbit slippers.

"What a silly goose..."

Yuan Tao shook his head, and only after recognizing that the person holding him was his apprentice did he breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, he could only be thankful that his apprentice, Han Dan, was there to protect him with a protective magic artifact; otherwise, Zhou Fengliu would have slapped him to death.
