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

The storytelling young man surnamed Du pointed at the person who asked the question.

”This question is a good one.”

”Just now I mentioned, the Path of Dry Bones 749 invited technical personnel from the White Eagle side to restore the surveillance footage.”

”Let me tell you all, that foreign devil’s place is quite distant from this Path of Dry Bones, thousands of miles away, yet he’d actually heard of Grand Duke Lu’s name.”

He absolutely had to have heard of it.

Lu Ding’s ascension to the Second Circle relied entirely on the White Eagle’s assistance.

The speaking young man surnamed Du placed his foot on the stool.

Smack!!

He slapped his thigh and pointed at the crowd.”As soon as he saw the scholar-warrior sleeves, he started shouting right there, ’Lu Ding!!!’”

”That guy, who knows if he was truly foolish, pretending to be foolish, or had ulterior motives.”

”He went on a praising spree!”

”The Sin of Arrogance came straight from his mouth.”

”We can understand arrogance—look around, how many prodigious talents aren’t arrogant?”

”But just the two words ’arrogance’ aren’t enough to describe Grand Duke Lu.”

”Other prodigies still recognize people, right? You should still show some restraint around your own group.”

”But Grand Duke Lu? Doesn’t matter who you are, you’re nobody special to him.”

At this point, the man imitated Lu Ding’s movement—turning sideways, showing his profile, with a sidelong glance.

He gestured for everyone to look at his face.

”Just this look—who wouldn’t feel intimidated by it? He alone is his own faction.”

”As for us, we can only imitate the form, not a trace of the essence and soul. When I look at people like this, it’s called intentional. When Grand Duke Lu looks at people like this, it’s innate.”

”It’s not just the look—Grand Duke Lu’s arrogance is even more evident in his actions.”

”Grand Duke Lu is a special envoy, and that Path of Dry Bones 749 is part of his own organization.”

”If this matter was truly done by the Grand Duke—of course I don’t know, this is all according to that foreign devil—”

First, lay down the disclaimers.

”No superficial formalities, no grand display, single-handedly charging straight over, not informing anyone, not telling anyone, arriving at the place and just killing, just cutting!”

”This posture clearly shows he knew in advance about the filthy, dirty deeds of that Tai Island consulate.”

”Then after finishing the killing, he left directly.”

”Without any explanation.”

”Typical—’in all my actions throughout life, why should I need to explain to others?’”

”Precisely—’ghosts and monsters fear to see the scholar-warrior sleeves, even gods and immortals cannot escape the blade in his hand.’”

The storytelling man surnamed Du raised his left hand: ”Righteous energy manifests.”

Raised his right hand: ”Killing intent floats.”

Smashed the teacup three times.

SMACK!!!

The penultimate line came first.

”Black energy soars straight to the clouds, vanquishing demons and monsters to display merit.”

The final lines came last.

”Arrogant for a time, bullying White Ridge; rampant on multiple occasions, scorning the new city.”

Finally, the man surnamed Du raised his hands in a clasped fist salute, bowing slightly. The remaining lines he didn’t dare say—anyway, by this point, everyone understood why it was called the Sin of Arrogance.

If he revealed those final lines today, whether Lu Ding would come after him was unknown.

But the Lady’s Temple 749 would definitely come after him.

”Everyone, that’s all I know. As the saying goes, everyone has moments of pride, but only the Grand Duke’s pride is eternal. For White Ridge to welcome such a special envoy, they really hit the jackpot.”

”Today I speak casually, everyone listens casually. I’m not a professional either, for any shortcomings, please be understanding. I’ve made a fool of myself, made a fool of myself.”

Thunderous applause erupted.

Cheers rose one after another.

”This is more authentic than what they say under the overpass!”

”Little brother, if you ask me, you should start a class tomorrow. I’ll definitely go listen.”

Amid the bustling crowd.

Some were happy, some were worried.

In the shadows, Feng Yueming was so angry she could practically spit sparks.

She was the star here!

On the surface.

At table ten.

A woman sat cross-legged, holding a teacup where the striking blood chrysanthemum bloomed vibrantly.

Taking a small sip of tea, Gao Qiuli said with a smile:

”This Grand Duke Lu is truly ferocious, but...”

”He should currently be troubled by the matters at the Path of Dry Bones, too busy to divert his attention. Such an opportunity is perfect to first deal with that delicate young lady, then take revenge for Golden Ao and No-Leave-Heaven.”

Within the Wuwang organization, many people disliked Golden Ao because of his active marginalization.

This included the speaking woman, Gao Qiuli.

She had no grudge with Golden Ao’s wife, hadn’t even met her.

But who told her to dislike Golden Ao? Who told her to be a member of this capricious Wuwang organization?

It’s all about following one’s whims.

Revenge—she wants it, official business.

People—she wants to kill, personal matters.

This was also what Golden Ao worried about.

Just as the woman spoke.

Outside the main door, a man with a head noticeably larger than normal walked in and sat opposite Gao Qiuli.

Pouring himself tea, draining it in one gulp, then saying:

”That Golden Ao guy definitely told the 749 people something. The area around that agritainment spot is full of surveillance, even has 749 investigators stationed there watching. Hard to get in and take action.”

Gao Qiuli put down her teacup, looking at the man before her: ”So you just came back like that?”

”What else? I had to come back and discuss with you how to proceed.”

A flash of helplessness passed through Gao Qiuli’s eyes.

This is how fools are—can’t even cultivate human form properly, head looks big but is actually empty.

She sighed softly: ”Sigh.”

Gao Qiuli took a tissue to wipe her hands, saying: ”Did you see Golden Ao’s wife?”

Nie Bin shook his head while pouring more tea: ”No, like I told you, there were too many people. If I went further in, wouldn’t I be exposed?”

He actually thought he was quite clever.

”Hurry up and think of a way, how should we handle this.”

Gao Qiuli stood up, pressing the tissue in her hand under the cup: ”Fine, I’ll think of something. I’m going to buy some things, you wait here for me.”

”Huh?”

Accompanied by this confused ”Huh?”

The more Gao Qiuli looked, the more those eyes embedded in that large head seemed utterly unintelligent.

”Don’t worry about it.”

With that, the woman walked out with measured steps.

Nie Bin stole a glance, a somewhat lecherous smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, but the next moment he shuddered.

”The more enchanting, the more dangerous. Looks like she has big hips, but actually they’re sharp.”

Pursing his lips: ”Better I don’t get stabbed by her instead of stabbing her.”

Shaking his head: ”Don’t think about it, don’t think about it!!”

Continued gulping down tea.

On the other side.

Outside the White Ridge 749 seclusion chamber door.

Fu Xinghe walked quickly with a tablet, stopping to knock twice on the seclusion chamber door.

Before Lu Ding entered seclusion.

The two had an agreement.

If something required his presence, knock once. If an emergency occurred, knock twice.

Now, an emergency had indeed occurred.

Inside the cultivation chamber.

Lu Ding heard the sound, slowly opening his eyes.

The leaked Fourth Restriction cultivation aura was gradually withdrawn by him.

His body began emitting a light fragrance—this was the scent of flawless purity, of absolute perfection.

Generally, this only exists during the Third Restriction late-stage, when all bodily impurities have been expelled.

Because by the Fourth Restriction, this scent becomes suppressed.
