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

Whether she had good luck or bad luck was hard to say.

If you said she had good luck, she had chosen a human-skin one.

If you said she had bad luck,

out of so many garments, she had picked the one most likely to provoke Lu Ding’s emotions.

At this moment.

The Ding Family.

The Ding Family was divided into two branches: the main lineage and the branch lineage.

The head of the main lineage was Ding Busan, with cultivation at the Five Restrictions Middle Stage. The head of the branch lineage was Ding Busi, with cultivation at the Five Restrictions Early Stage.

But despite having two Five Restrictions-level combatants, they were still suppressed by the Pan Family—the family that had purchased the original Path of Dry Bones 749 Bureau land and whose Bo Beast was exterminated by Lu Ding.Under the Pan Family’s suppression, the Ding Family was practically going insane trying to find a way to rise up.

Until recently, until today, they saw a glimmer of hope for advancement.

In the main hall of the Ding Family.

The sound of a fierce argument could be heard.

”I DISAGREE!!!!”

Ding Busi’s voice was loud, as if trying to lift the roof off.

The scene shifted into the main hall.

Ding Busi was pacing back and forth, speaking with anger and anxiety: ”Elder Brother!!!”

”Such an important matter, why didn’t you tell me in advance?”

Ding Busan sat leisurely in the master’s seat, sipping tea: ”Telling you now isn’t too late either.”

He knew his younger brother wouldn’t agree, which was precisely why he hadn’t told him earlier.

Ding Busi was frantic, taking two steps forward: ”Before, our Ding Family was always suppressed by the Pan Family, but that was the past. Now the Pan Family is suppressed, the situation is turbulent.”

”As long as we don’t go too far, the 749 Bureau won’t have the capacity to deal with us. We can take this opportunity to climb up slowly!”

”In the entire Path of Dry Bones, besides the Pan Family who could firmly suppress us, the other family powers are on roughly equal footing with us. Everyone relies on their own abilities, so why must we take such a risky move and cooperate with Wuwang!?”

Ding Busan did not answer him.

Instead, his own grandson, Ding Xing, stepped forward and spoke: ”Grandfather, progressing step by step is too slow. Opportunities are fleeting.”

”Moreover, as you said, besides the Pan Family, the other family powers are on roughly equal footing with us.”

”So how can we possibly surpass them?”

”Only with the help of external forces can our Ding Family leapfrog over the other families in one move and become the new uncrowned king of the Path of Dry Bones.”

Ding Busi looked at Ding Xing with a complicated gaze.

Although a glance revealed a face full of determination on the youth,

he knew.

Ding Xing’s true thoughts were definitely not what he was saying aloud.

Ding Busi knew that Ding Xing still bore a deep grudge over what happened to his parents.

Over a decade ago.

At that time, Ding Xing was still young, and Ding Busi was at a critical period for breaking through to the Five Restrictions, constantly in seclusion.

Back then, Ding Xing’s mother, during a trip to the prosperous eastern area of New City, was taken a fancy to by a member of a local power that possessed God Ascension Realm combat strength and was forcibly detained in the east.

Later, when Ding Xing’s father went to search for her,

he clashed with that power and killed a direct-line descendant of theirs.

Although Ding Xing’s father managed to bring Ding Xing’s mother back to the Path of Dry Bones, it also brought disaster upon them.

At that time, a God Ascension Realm expert came to their door.

Demanding the handover of Ding Xing’s parents to give an account.

Ding Busi was still in seclusion, and Ding Xing’s parents were members of the branch lineage.

Ding Busan, who was in charge of the main lineage, acting under the basic family rule that all matters must prioritize the main lineage and its interests must be upheld, handed over Ding Xing’s parents.

Ding Xing’s mother knew what fate awaited her once she was handed over.

Not wanting to suffer humiliation, she chose to commit suicide.

Ding Xing’s father fought while carrying her coffin, and in the end was beaten to death, his body left incomplete.

Because of this incident, Ding Xing also faced alienation, bullying, and ostracization from other family members.

It wasn’t until Ding Busi broke through to the Five Restrictions and left seclusion that he learned of all this.

But it was too late.

Over the years, although Ding Busi had done his utmost to care for this grandson,

he knew the scar from this event could never be erased.

Ding Xing didn’t just hate that power; he also hated the Ding Family.

But he disguised it well, fooling outsiders, and even fooling the Ding Family.

Yet he couldn’t fool Ding Busi, the grandfather who had raised him from childhood.

But Ding Busi didn’t dare point out the crucial issue.

If his elder brother Ding Busan ever found out that everything Ding Xing said was merely to take revenge on the Ding Family, to lead the Ding Family down the path of colluding with Wuwang and opposing the 749 Bureau—a road of no return—

Ding Xing would die!!!

He had already lost his most beloved son; he didn’t want to lose Ding Xing, the grandson he had raised from childhood.

Ding Busi looked at Ding Xing, sighed with a complicated gaze, and asked an ambiguous question that only the two of them could understand: ”Why?”

This question

caused Ding Xing to waver slightly.

But immediately after, his eyes grew firm again: ”For the glory of the Ding Family! For our Ding Family to stand atop the Path of Dry Bones! For our Ding Family to step out of the Path of Dry Bones and possess the confidence to contend with the major powers of the outside world!!!”

The words were spoken with great firmness, very officially.

But Ding Busi heard them with heartache.

Ding Busan, sitting in the master’s seat, however, heard them and laughed heartily.

”Well said! This is the bearing a scion of our Ding Family should have!!!”

Ding Xing bowed in salute: ”I am willing to serve and share the burdens of the Family Head. I am willing to go through fire and water for the Ding Family.”

As he spoke,

Ding Xing cursed inwardly, a silent roar twisting his expression.

”You old dog!!!!”

”In the past, you sent my parents to their deaths. Today, I will send the entire Ding Family to their deaths!!!”

That’s right. Ding Xing was precisely that Wuwang member in the Wuwang Nowhere Room who said he could contact the Ding Family to help deal with Lu Ding.

Relying solely on his own strength, he couldn’t deal with that power, so Ding Xing chose to join Wuwang, using Wuwang’s power to take revenge on that power.

The Ding Family was the same.

Relying solely on his own strength, he couldn’t topple the entire Ding Family. Wuwang wouldn’t casually help him exterminate the Ding Family either, as there was no benefit in it for them.

It would be all effort for no gain; why should they help him?

He also couldn’t offer a price.

Only Lu Ding!

Only through this method could he provoke Lu Ding into venting his anger on the Ding Family, leading to a bloodbath that would achieve Ding Xing’s goal of revenge.

As for whether Lu Ding would win,

Ding Xing wasn’t worried.

Because he would notify Lu Ding in advance once everything was confirmed, allowing this Corpse-Shattering Taishui to make preparations and bring enough people.

The reason Wuwang survived in the shadows was precisely because they lacked the confidence to confront the 749 Bureau head-on.

Once formations were drawn up, the terror of the 749 Bureau was something ordinary people couldn’t comprehend.

Let alone someone like Lu Ding, a Special Envoy.

Therefore, Ding Xing believed that if Lu Ding grasped the key intelligence, he would definitely win!

When the time came, he could watch the Ding Family’s destruction, then escape via the Wuwang Teleportation Array!

As for whether Wuwang’s failure would cost them dearly in blood, or whether his own grandfather Ding Busi would be implicated, Ding Xing didn’t care.

He just wanted revenge!!

Years of hardship and ostracization, years of scornful looks—the blows he suffered and the psychological trauma left on him were immense!

This also forged, beneath his quiet and honest exterior, a turbulent, obsessive, and extreme personality!

As long as he could avenge his parents, even if it cost him everything, even his own life, he was willing!
