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

”She, Yu Ci, is from the Purple Cloud Sect, I’m from the Liberation Sect. She’s at the Fourth Restriction, I’m also at the Fourth Restriction. She doesn’t even have an ice-cold attribute, but I do! The Frost Soul Sword is clearly more suited for me!”

”I joined the sect as a child, I wasn’t someone who switched sects halfway with skills already learned. I’ve shed blood for the sect, I’ve sweated for the sect.”

”How many honors have I won for the sect!?”

”Even when that special envoy hit me, for the sake of the sect, I didn’t even dodge.”

If it weren’t for that, given Zhou Huo’s youthful vigor and the fact he grew up hailed as a genius all along, how could he possibly have no temper at all.

And yet.

Now, Feng Renyan gave the Frost Soul Sword he wanted to Yu Ci!!

The mentality of resenting not scarcity but inequality instantly made Zhou Huo’s temperature rise, his face flushing red.

All his efforts, all his sacrifices, had become a joke.

Zhou Huo desperately restrained himself and looked in the direction Lu Ding had left.Now, with these words spoken by Feng Renyan, the deputy sect leader of the Liberation Sect, it meant that Zhou Huo’s title as the number one young talent of the current generation across both sects had been stripped away for no reason!

From now on, this title would belong to Yu Ci.

They didn’t even fight!

From now on, he would become a laughingstock.

Everyone would acknowledge Yu Ci.

Then what was he?

Even his own sect’s deputy leader didn’t acknowledge him.

The only one who acknowledged him was... Lu Ding!!!

This special envoy, with his exceptional talent, formidable combat power, profound background, and esteemed status, acknowledged him!

Although not explicitly stated.

But Zhou Huo remembered, when Lu Ding hit him, he called him trash, but when Lu Ding hit Yu Ci, he called her trash among trash!

Looking at it this way, the difference was immediately clear!

Zhou Huo clenched his fists. A bunch of short-sighted fools, if you don’t appreciate me, it’s because your vision isn’t broad enough!!!

Only someone like the special envoy, with sufficient talent, intellect, combat power, status, and background, can see my potential for growth!!!

Thinking of this.

Zhou Huo could no longer hold back.

He directly knelt in the direction Lu Ding had left and shouted loudly, ”I humbly beg the special envoy to take Zhou Huo in, to allow Zhou Huo to serve diligently by the special envoy’s side!!!”

Sneaking off to follow Lu Ding, leaving room to retreat back to the Liberation Sect if Lu Ding didn’t accept him... Zhou Huo couldn’t do something like that.

Before, he could consider many things, because he had to consider the Liberation Sect.

Now the deputy sect leader actually treated him like this!!

Then what was there left to consider!

From now on, he would only consider himself!

With his own temper, if he had something to say, he would say it!

He was a genius!

And Lu Ding was a genius among geniuses. Having personally experienced it, bowing his head to such a person, having a request of someone, Zhou Huo felt that kneeling was not shameful!

After all, right now, only Lu Ding appreciated him!

Instantly.

The scene fell silent.

Feng Renyan’s expression changed as if he’d seen a ghost. He turned to look at Zhou Huo, ”What do you think you’re doing!!?”

His anger stirred the wind and clouds.

The momentum of heaven and earth surged, bringing with it a terrifying pressure that bore down on Zhou Huo from above, pressing until the bones throughout his body creaked and groaned.

With trouble erupting in his own backyard, Feng Renyan was so angry his blood pressure was about to spike.

Liberation Sect, what did liberation mean? Death was liberation.

Therefore, the people of this sect were never kind-hearted folks. Fighting and contention were commonplace; not a single one had a good temper.

Zhou Huo stubbornly persisted, ”Reporting to Deputy Sect Leader, I don’t want to do anything. I joined the Liberation Sect as a child and step by step reached where I am today. Who doesn’t say that I, Zhou Huo, am the number one genius of the current generation across both sects!”

”All these years, my meritorious deeds for the sect could fill a stone chamber, my hard work could cover an entire plaza. If the Frost Soul Sword isn’t given to me, I can understand, I can accept that I’m not outstanding enough, I can think the timing just isn’t right yet.”

”But!!!”

”Why give it to her!!?”

Feng Renyan was furious, ”Fine, fine, fine. So now I can’t even decide what to do with my own things. When I give my things to someone, I still have to ask for your opinion!”

Zhou Huo immediately retorted. Since things had already come to this, he wouldn’t hold back anymore.

”It’s not your thing! The Frost Soul Sword belongs to the sect. You are merely keeping it in custody. Five years ago, because of my cultivation technique, I urgently needed a weapon, so I set my sights on the Frost Soul Sword.”

”All these years, I have been striving to rightfully obtain it.”

”I consulted the records. The Frost Soul Sword was left behind a hundred years ago by a deceased senior of the sect. Disciples of later generations, those with ability and sufficient contribution to the sect, all have the opportunity to obtain it!”

”Among the current generation of Liberation Sect disciples, no one has higher merit than me, and no one has higher combat power than me!”

”And she isn’t even a Liberation Sect disciple!”

Feng Renyan’s sore spot was struck. He had long regarded this thing as his own property.

After all, over a hundred years had passed; the thought had subtly taken root.

And now Zhou Huo exposed it.

He instantly flew into a rage, ”Ah!!! Rebellion, this is rebellion!!!!”

”Zhou Huo, you’re acting spoiled and presumptuous because of favoritism, don’t think I don’t dare to touch you!?”

”I think you don’t dare.”

A voice appeared, bringing with it a gentle breeze that swept past, a wisp of black smoke blowing by, directly dissolving Feng Renyan’s pressure.

Following the sound.

The originally departed Lu Ding had actually returned.

Feng Renyan instantly withdrew his anger, suppressing it between his brows, and cupped his hands in salute, ”Special Envoy, as a Liberation Sect disciple, he has no respect for his elders, subordinates rebelling against superiors. Your ears are soft, don’t listen to his nonsense. Let me properly discipline him!”

Pleasant words upfront.

But Lu Ding wasn’t having it.

”Cut the crap with this useless talk.”

Lu Ding’s retort made Feng Renyan’s face darken, and he immediately shut up.

Lu Ding looked at Zhou Huo.

Right now, he was seriously short of people under him. This Zhou Huo was a sect genius, with Fourth Restriction cultivation, and still young. Someone like this, as long as his political vetting was clean, could definitely work as an investigator.

If the political vetting wasn’t completely clean, as long as there were no major issues, then he could also ’work as an investigator in the new city’.

After all, new city, new district, new governance.

Lu Ding was so short on people he was about to explode.

Now this was a pleasant surprise.

He truly hadn’t expected that coming out, he not only gained a skill, obtained rare treasures, solved trouble, but could also conveniently pick up a Fourth Restriction genius on the way back.

Hahahaha, heaven was helping him.

He stepped forward and helped up Zhou Huo, who was injured from Feng Renyan’s pressure.

This action directly made Zhou Huo jerk his head up, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He subconsciously gripped Lu Ding’s hand.

At this moment, he only felt that Lu Ding’s hand was very soft, yet also very powerful.

In his gaze, the bending figure blocked the sun, as if... he was the sun.

Zhou Huo wasn’t demanding anything unreasonable. He just hoped his efforts and sacrifices would receive the due reward they deserved.

Even if they didn’t give it to him, at least don’t give it to someone inferior to him, especially an outsider!

He was like a top performer in a company with great sales performance. Mid-year, the company said the year-end bonus would be a sports car.

So he worked himself to death, thinking with his performance, his efforts, the sports car was definitely his. Then at year-end, he encountered a black curtain!!!

Someone parachuted in and took the sports car, and it was an outsider!

Who the hell could tolerate that.

Take off the employee badge, I quit!!

Change jobs!!

But then, Feng Renyan, as management, also the deputy sect leader, spoke up at this moment, ”Zhou Huo, do you think acting like this is worthy of the Liberation Sect’s nurturing!?”
