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

Since someone wanted to jump out and show how different they were.

Then Lu Ding absolutely would not indulge him.

What level did he think he was at, to dare ask for formal procedures.

If you didn’t know better, you’d think he was running a private 749.

If, and only if, this Profound Sect Elder had asked for a receipt, or proof, then Lu Ding would have just picked up a pen and written it.

Official business handled officially, reasonable requests met with reasonable responses.

But formal procedures...

This was a blatant provocation against him.

Faced with this kind of proactive matchmaking behavior, Lu Ding had one and only one choice: accept!

The threat of death was closing in!The Profound Sect Elder was unwilling to answer Lu Ding’s question, ’Do you understand?’

If it was just about losing face before, responding to this question now would mean utter humiliation.

Being singled out and shamed.

But if he didn’t answer...

The tip of the blade, inching closer to his brain, was gradually approaching the end of his life.

Resist!!!

The Profound Sect Elder had the thought, but when he looked at the suppressed smile on Lu Ding’s face...

I’ll die!!!

He’s forcing me to resist, so he can kill me openly and justifiably!!

The three of them combined couldn’t subdue this man before them; this Profound Sect Elder didn’t believe he alone could stir up any waves.

But if he didn’t resist...

Would he die?

He’ll be punished if he kills me. The Profound Sect’s position in Fengkou City is unshakable; we’ve been long-term partners with Fengkou City’s 749 Bureau, we venerate the local earth deities of Fengkou City, we control the wind, rain, and grain harvests, every year we are Fengkou City’s exemplary sect!

The Profound Sect Elder kept listing the Profound Sect’s outstanding achievements in his mind, deluding himself that these things would prove Lu Ding wouldn’t kill him.

But all of it, the moment his gaze once again settled on Lu Ding’s eyes.

He will!!!!

Without the slightest hesitation, the man practically roared it out.

”I UNDERSTAND!!!!!”

After this shout, he kept panting heavily, the clothes on his back already soaked with sweat.

His chest heaved continuously, the color draining from his face.

Lu Ding smiled.

He pulled out the long blade that was about to pierce this man’s brain, gave it a flick, bloodstains splattering the ground like crimson frost flowers.

”Good. Go back and hand-copy the procedural regulations ten thousand times, submit them to Fengkou City’s 749 Bureau, who will then forward them to me. I need to see it, otherwise, bear the consequences yourself.”

Finished speaking.

The Red Coffin behind Lu Ding opened wide. While putting away Blood Frost, he also took out paper, a pen, and his official seal from within.

After writing the two characters 【Formal Procedures】, he stamped the seal heavily and handed it to Liang Fang, the Deputy Director of Fengkou City’s 749 Bureau, who stood beside him like a minion: ”I’ll have someone back at headquarters fill in the remaining details for you later.”

Liang Fang had stepped in to intervene earlier; that was proper.

As a local 749 Deputy Director, if he encountered this kind of situation and didn’t make a move, then Lu Ding wouldn’t even glance at him.

This Deputy Director wasn’t the genuine article, cowardly and afraid of death, shrinking back when trouble arose, piling his plate high when it was time to eat.

But now, if Liang Fang’s attitude was correct and his actions were proper.

Lu Ding didn’t mind going through the procedures with him, making his subsequent reports and work easier.

Liang Fang received the 【Formal Procedures】 with both hands.

Although it was admittedly a bit crude.

Yet, from these two characters, he could see thousands, even tens of thousands of words explaining his involvement in hindering the Special Envoy’s mission execution.

This wasn’t just 【Formal Procedures】.

This was 【A Disclaimer Regarding Deputy Director Liang Fang of Fengkou City 749 Bureau’s Unintentional Hindrance of the Special Envoy’s Mission Execution】

A solid gesture of attitude!

Liang Fang himself wasn’t a man of great magnanimity; people with too much magnanimity couldn’t be Deputy Directors, they could only be the top boss.

So he knew, if he were the Special Envoy and someone hindered his mission execution, and he was stronger than them.

Even if the other party was from the same system.

He wouldn’t just let it go either.

At this moment, looking at Lu Ding, Liang Fang felt fortunate to have survived a calamity, with only one thought in his mind.

”The Special Envoy is considerate!!!”

He was truly convinced, heart and soul. His own vision wasn’t as broad, his abilities weren’t as great, no wonder this man could be a Special Envoy at such a young age.

Putting away the procedures, Liang Fang was too excited. Being a Deputy Director, he wasn’t good at empty formalities, nor did he care where they were. He directly bent at the waist, clasped his hands in salute, raising them higher than his head, giving the gesture his all.

”Thank you for your mercy, Special Envoy!!!”

These three words caused an uproar among the crowd. Liang Fang’s move, without Lu Ding having any subjective intention to do so, had just scored a huge, perfectly round *.

”Special Envoy? He’s not just a simple 749 investigator?!”

”Not even twenty-four years old, combat power capable of killing Fifth Restriction cultivators, and a 749 Special Envoy? How are the rest of us supposed to live?!”

”I... I’ve had my horizons broadened before, but never this broad.”

”And he’s not just any ordinary Special Envoy. His rank is at least Municipal-level Special Envoy, otherwise, Director Liang wouldn’t possibly show this kind of deference!”

”Not even twenty-four... I... If I had achievements like that, I wouldn’t dare imagine how arrogant I’d be!”

”Coward, I dare to imagine!”

The atmosphere in the venue gradually returned to normal.

At least Lu Ding wasn’t some indiscriminate murderer; a 749 investigator wouldn’t kill innocents randomly.

Everyone relaxed.

Only Ziyin and the Profound Sect Elder still lying on the ground, not daring to get up, grew even more terrified.

Especially the Profound Sect Elder.

His blood-stained face was twisted into a bitter melon.

Pursing his lips...

He’s a Special Envoy, he’s actually a Special Envoy, how can he be a Special Envoy...

Liang Fang, ah Liang Fang, why didn’t you say so earlier? If you knew, why didn’t you say so earlier? What were you holding back for? What the hell were you holding back?

If you had said so earlier, even with ten times the courage, I wouldn’t have dared to try and save face against a Special Envoy.

The Profound Sect Elder lay on the ground, clasping his hands in salute. Lu Ding hadn’t given the word; he didn’t dare get up.

”I’m sorry, Special Envoy. I was blind, failing to recognize gold inlaid with jade. You hit well, you taught me a good lesson. I’ll go back and copy them, I’ll copy them a hundred thousand times.”

Now, he no longer had any of that earlier defiant, resentful attitude. Lu Ding’s strength, status, and the yet-unrevealed background—all of it was something he couldn’t even see the peak of.

Under these circumstances.

How dare he hold any resentment?

To put it bluntly, if this Special Envoy had beaten him to death today, he would have died for nothing!

Now, he was just taught a lesson.

It was a massive, tremendous profit.

Having lived this many years, still able to serve as an Elder, and even being sent out to participate in major events of other sects.

This Profound Sect Elder was no fool.

Lu Ding was satisfied with his attitude: ”Alright, get up. Wipe the blood off your face.”

Since the Special Envoy had spoken and showed no intention of continuing to make things difficult for him, this man was ready to climb the offered ladder.

The Profound Sect Elder got up.

”Yes, yes, yes, it’s fine, no need to wipe, no need to wipe. This scar you left is the honor of my lifetime, Zhang Wenzhen.”

He gave his name, not hoping to latch onto a powerful connection, but just to become a familiar face.

If nothing unexpected happened, the Lu Ding before him would be the person with the highest status he’d ever had contact with in his life!

Now, both Liang Fang and Zhang Wenzhen were at ease. Only the Purple Cloud Sect Leader, Ziyin, remained.

Just as he was about to say something.

Lu Ding’s phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID display as Zhan Tingzhou, Lu Ding answered the call.

”Hello.”

An excited voice came from the other side.

”I did it, I did it, I mixed the color you wanted! Where are you? I’ll bring it to you right now. Let’s compare it with your robe, check for any color difference, so I can make color improvements. The effect is perfect, truly perfect.”

”High temperature, low temperature, stretchability, memory, and conductivity for Spiritual Energy, all perfect. You really need to see it with your own eyes.”

Originally, Zhan Tingzhou wasn’t someone prone to such intense emotional fluctuations.

But...

Having been reborn, he had clearly thought that with foreknowledge, he would lead Lu Ding, this true friend, his benefactor in this life, to soar together, make a name for themselves.

Who knew, it was all Lu Ding taking care of him.

This made Zhan Tingzhou feel very frustrated.

Now, having finally accomplished something for Lu Ding, how could he not be excited?

But as Lu Ding’s response came through, the smile on Zhan Tingzhou’s face instantly froze.
