First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!

The old man pulled out another whip and lashed it toward Su Hongyu’s father.

Crack!!!

The whip struck, splitting skin and flesh with a crisp sonic boom.

”Ah!!!!”

”Elder Shui!! We know we were wrong!!! Please be magnanimous, show mercy. The Su Family will never dare again. I will definitely discipline my children properly from now on.”

The old man’s whip was no ordinary instrument.

This was called the Flaying Whip.

The selection of materials went without saying - that was basic.

The key was that this thing was both enchanted and poisoned.

It was essentially dipping a leather whip in iodine while whipping to disinfect, applying alcohol to the leather while striking to sterilize!Moreover, the pain penetrated deep into the bone marrow, like a festering sore clinging to the bone. It wouldn’t subside for several years.

”Wrong? Wrong your mother’s twisted dough twists!!! Now you know you’re wrong? It hurts so you know you’re wrong? What were you doing before? Didn’t you know how to discipline them before?”

”Now you tell me you’re wrong? I really can’t stand hearing this shit from you, damn it! Today I’m absolutely going to make it hurt, make it thorough!!!”

He turned to look at Lu Ding: ”Hurry up, start whipping quickly. After we’re done, we still have proper business to attend to. You whip Dong Minglong’s old man, I’ll whip Su Hongyu’s old man. We’ll switch positions later.”

At the old man’s command.

Lu Ding stopped holding back.

Still want to target me?

Damn it, you’ve been spoiled rotten!!!

He swung the whip.

Crack!!!!

The whip crack exploded through the air as it struck at an extremely tricky angle, leaving deep bloody marks on Dong Minglong’s father.

The suspended Dong Yuande convulsed violently from the blows.

At first, he only screamed in agony.

Quite tough indeed. But after several more lashes, he began indirectly negotiating terms and begging for mercy.

”Lu Ding!!! We can discuss this. Your losses, our Dragon Keeper Clan can compensate. Whatever you want, we can sit down and talk!!!”

Talk?

Lu Ding had no desire to talk.

Before coming here, Director Chu of his Yunhai 749 branch had warned him.

To cherish his reputation dearly, resist temptations, and not fall for tricks.

Although facing Elder Shui, Lu Ding felt this person probably wouldn’t try any schemes.

But what if?

He wasn’t very familiar with the situation at this level anyway.

Better to simply refuse, avoiding giving people excuses to criticize. He had hands and feet, plus 749’s special attention. Soon he’d step onto the new city’s opportunity and soar directly upward.

These petty offerings weren’t worth losing face over.

He didn’t speak, didn’t refuse, didn’t accept.

Just kept swinging the whip relentlessly.

Dong Yuande thought Lu Ding remained silent because the price wasn’t high enough.

The pain drove him to shout continuously increasing offers, adding rare treasures upon treasures until he grew weary of it.

Finally, his head tilted to the side.

He lost consciousness.

Just then, a figure arrived flying in, neither late nor early.

They stopped Elder Shui, who was still swinging his whip with controlled force - not enough to knock people out - while cursing as he struck.

”Hey hey hey, Elder Shui, Elder Shui, stop hitting, stop hitting. Any more and you’ll kill someone.”

Elder Shui snorted coldly: ”Kill someone? If someone dies, let them come sue me then, put me on trial! I’m not afraid!!”

He pointed at Lu Ding: ”The Third Circle finally produces someone like this.”

”And then what? These turtle spawns still scheme against him!!!”

”The law follows rules, that’s the law. The law is a net - even the finest net has holes!!!”

”These bastards love exploiting the law’s loopholes. The law can’t punish them, but violence can!! I love using violence to counter violence!! They don’t play by rules, I’ll be even less rule-bound than them! I’ll play the age card and bully the young!!!”

The newcomer looked helplessly at Su Xiu, roaring: ”Don’t you know you’re wrong yet!!?”

Su Xiu, covered in blood, raised his head with difficulty: ”I... I know I was wrong. I will discipline my children properly from now on.”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man looked down at Elder Shui: ”You see, he knows he was wrong. They’re apologizing on behalf of their children, it’s not like they committed crimes themselves. Beating them to death isn’t appropriate.”

Only then did Elder Shui release his whip, asking: ”Lu Ding, what do you want to do!?”

Lu Ding lowered his hand, blood dripping from the long whip.

The way of conducting oneself in society - he never failed in this.

Moreover, this matter wasn’t over yet. Dong Minglong and Su Hongyu were the main focus.

Besides, Lu Ding wasn’t stupid.

The moment one was beaten unconscious, someone stepped forward to intervene.

This indicated that today’s event was both to vent his anger and to test Dong Minglong and Su Hongyu’s attitudes.

To see if they truly understood the seriousness of the problem.

And to extinguish any schemes in their hearts.

Once this matter concluded and these two were released, if Dong Minglong and Su Hongyu were sensible, they wouldn’t dare entertain any other ideas.

If, however, either had poor judgment...

Then today’s event would become a catalyst. Their fathers taking such severe beatings for them would likely make those with poor judgment explode with rage on the spot.

The situation would then transform from them secretly skirting boundaries while scheming against Lu Ding, to openly jumping out with designs against Lu Ding.

A reverse psychology tactic.

Once they jumped out, Lu Ding could beat them to death on the spot!!

The Dragon Keeper Clan and Su Family wouldn’t dare say anything.

Truth be told, this matter involved quite some cunning...

Having realized this, Lu Ding went with the flow and said to the middle-aged man: ”Leader, you’re right. They’re apologizing for their children, not for crimes they committed themselves. Beating them to death isn’t appropriate.”

Appreciation flashed in the middle-aged man’s eyes.

He had thought that with Lu Ding’s rapid cultivation progress, being the Third Circle Great Han’s top genius, now receiving Elder Shui’s favor, plus being a special merit award hero...

Topped with being still young.

Under all these conditions, even if Lu Ding was arrogant, lacking perspective, or deficient in strategic thinking, he could understand.

But unexpectedly, Lu Ding addressed him as ”Leader” and followed his lead, giving him full face.

That... was somewhat unexpected.

In this world, geniuses were never lacking, but geniuses with good judgment who understood advancement and retreat were rare.

He continued using Lu Ding’s words while looking at Elder Shui: ”You see, even Lu Ding says so. How about we...”

”Fine, since Lu Ding has spoken like this, we’ll let it go for now.”

The old man turned his head, his gaze passing over the middle-aged man before him to rest on the suspended Dong Yuande and Su Xiu.

”But don’t think letting it go means it’s over. You’d better behave yourselves, otherwise next time...”

The only still-conscious Su Xiu nodded with difficulty: ”Un...understood, Elder Shui. We’ve troubled you. Lu Ding, I’m sorry, truly apologize. I failed to discipline my children properly.”

After saying this, he could hold on no longer. His head drooped as he fainted on the spot.

Looking at the two men, their skin had truly been flayed off a layer.
