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

Such meeting scenes were not only happening at Fierce Pursuit Hall, but also within other factions.

However, they weren’t like Fierce Pursuit Hall, who, besides wanting to snatch territory, also had a personal grudge with Lu Ding.

What the other factions wanted was simply to get a piece of the Path of Dry Bones pie.

But this very desire had, in the shadows, provoked Lu Ding.

Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Nowhere Room, Wuwang.

The young man accompanied by his maidservant pushed the door open and entered.

As soon as he went in, he saw Lu Ding had already been waiting inside for quite some time.

He spoke with a hint of laughter in his tone, ”You’re quite fast. It’s only been three hours. I even came early, yet you’re earlier than me.”

Lu Ding leaned back in his chair, ”My sense of timing has always been good. Unless there’s an accident, I’ll only be early, never late.”He had arrived about two and a half hours in.

Although his relationship with this young man was one of mutual use, matters of attitude still had to be maintained. These things, while superficially directed at others, were actually a person’s habits concerning themselves.

The young man walked over and sat opposite Lu Ding, ”I’ve received the news. Kang Fatty died horribly. You went pretty hard on him.”

He said it lightly, as if discussing the weather.

But beneath that blurred face, the young man was being exceptionally cautious at this moment.

He was even starting to doubt whether Lu Ding was human at all.

The scene inside Kang Fatty’s butcher shop was too brutal.

It was even more savage than the traces left behind by demonic rampages.

Yet it didn’t seem like something a mentally unstable Qi Refiner who enjoyed torturing enemies would do.

Because there weren’t too many signs of sadistic torture.

It was more like a subconscious habit.

And this habit made the young man involuntarily think of their mission target, the White Ridge special envoy, Corpse-Shattering Taishui.

But this speculation was far too outlandish.

Our enemy, infiltrating our headquarters?

Was that right?

That was clearly not right.

”I don’t want to chat with you about this useless stuff. I did the job, I showed my sincerity. Now tell me Xiao Ma’s location. I want to go have a chat with him.”

There was nothing good to talk about with people when you didn’t know their real identity or specific address. Lu Ding still preferred chatting with monster corpses.

”I think we could chat a bit more, get to know each other better. We could cooperate more in the future.”

As the young man spoke, the nearly impossible speculation he had just entertained was tossed to the back of his mind.

Regardless of this person’s true identity, as long as he didn’t expose his own real identity, there was no danger.

This man’s strength was formidable. If used well, he could definitely help clear away many obstacles for him—whether within Wuwang, or in New City; whether they were people, or demons and monsters—all could be dealt with through his hands.

Lu Ding sat up straight, ”Alright then, we can chat. Give me an address, I’ll come find you right now. We can talk all night if you want.”

The young man paused, a bit stuck, ”That takes the fun out of it.”

Lu Ding smiled, ”Then say something interesting.”

The young man dropped the idea, ”Xiao Ma, real name Pan Fusheng. The talented second young master of the Pan Family in Path of Dry Bones. The Pan Family is quite lively right now. Qian Jin, the director of White Ridge 749, is pressuring the Pan Family to move out.”

”I think you should chat with me first, to avoid running into them over there. It’s best you go after they’ve finished negotiating, or after they’ve fought.”

Lu Ding hadn’t expected things to connect this way.

Wasn’t this a coincidence?

He seized the key point and asked, ”So he’s human?”

As he asked this, Lu Ding felt a pang of disappointment in his heart. Damn it, how could he be human!?

He was still hoping to see if he could get a ’Horse’-related Twelve Zodiac Arts Method from ’Xiao Ma’.

How could you be human!?

Just then, as if finding a village in the depths of willow shadows and blooming flowers, he heard the young man say, ”That’s not it. He’s a demon monster.”

Lu Ding’s eyes lit up. Before he could ask another question, the young man’s next sentence brought a pleasant surprise right on its heels.

”Not only is he a demon monster, his father, his mother, his entire family, old and young, are all demon monsters. The same breed.”

Well now!!

This was hitting the jackpot.

Found a whole nest!!!

This was what you called a pleasant surprise. This was it.

Lu Ding stood up without changing his expression, ”I’ll go take a look. Notify me when it’s time for action.”

He had to go quickly, to avoid Qian Jin stealing the kill.

The same breed, rewards stacked. How big a skill would this yield? Probably not just something as simple as the Twelve Zodiac Arts Method.

Killing one less would be a loss.

Who knew if missing just that one would prevent synthesizing an even more powerful skill.

Seeing he was about to leave, the young man couldn’t help but ask, ”Aren’t you curious how I know all this?”

Normally, anyone would be curious, right?

Every member of the Wuwang organization kept their identity hidden.

Now he could actually reveal so much about other members’ real-world identities. Wasn’t that worth wondering about?

”Not curious. Everyone has their secrets. I choose to respect your secret.”

Lu Ding didn’t care. It didn’t matter anyway.

This guy didn’t know his identity.

A tool person—why bother understanding so much?

Besides, he was in a hurry right now.

Didn’t have that much time to chat.

”What if I know yours too?”

This sentence made Lu Ding pause his steps.

The young man thought Lu Ding would be affected, since one’s real identity was no trivial matter for Wuwang members.

Little did he know, what Lu Ding was thinking at this moment was: Talking big.

If you knew my identity, could you still sit here chatting casually with me?

Even if this guy was going along with the scheme, trying to lay a perfect ambush for him...

Lu Ding could just pull out the [Golden Ao Island] and smash through ten thousand techniques with sheer force. Whatever messy plans you have, all of you, kneel!

He smiled.

”No need for ’what ifs’. You can investigate as much as you want. If you really find out, remember to have someone deliver a letter to me.”

With that, Lu Ding walked out of the Nowhere Room.

The young man sat on the stool, first stunned, then burst into laughter, ”Hahahahahaha......”

The maidservant leaned down to ask, ”Young Master, should we....”

The young man shook his head, ”No need. I, Yuwen Longyuan, still have that much magnanimity. I like what he said about respect. He respects me, and I respect him.”

His gaze looked into the distance, ”An interesting person. I hope we can cooperate happily in the future.”

Outside.

Lu Ding’s consciousness returned. Without the slightest pause, he shot straight up into the sky, heading towards the Pan Family in Path of Dry Bones.

Simultaneously, he pulled out his phone and sent a message to Qian Jin.

[What stage are you at now?]

On the other side.

The Pan Family.

Qian Jin’s face was dark as he scanned the Pan family members moving their valuable belongings.

Damn it.

They almost came to blows.

But then, halfway through, the Pan Family’s second young master, Pan Fusheng, popped up. He walked over to the Pan Family head, Pan Xiu, and whispered something in his ear. No one knew what he muttered, but it caused Pan Xiu’s attitude to do a complete 180-degree turn, becoming extraordinarily cooperative.

He was both apologizing and making amends.

It left Qian Jin feeling stuck in an awkward position.

Just as he was feeling annoyed, a special message notification tone sounded.

Qian Jin hurriedly pulled out his phone.

Seeing the message from Lu Ding, he replied truthfully.

[Grand Guardian, the Pan Family has agreed to move. They didn’t put forward any other conditions at all. I’m watching them move. I was just about to leave. I’ll leave people here to keep an eye on things.]

The message was sent, and the other side replied instantly.

[Don’t leave. Stop them. Seal off the entire Pan Family completely. Not a single fly is to be let out.]
