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

The great blade kept chopping down, raising clouds of dust and smoke.

But according to the majority’s principle of ’smoke without injury,’ Chu Xiao wasn’t dead yet, for now.

Each wound was a mangled mess of flesh and blood, deep enough to see bone, but blocked by the bone itself, unable to cut all the way through.

Of course, this was only temporary.

If no effective measures were taken, he would still die when his time came.

Inside the principal’s office of the 749 Reserve University.

Secretary Qiu sat upright beside the door.

His gaze swept over every person present in the room.

He had already sensed it the moment Lu Ding and Fu Xinghe returned to Hanjing.

As a secretary, one didn’t necessarily have to be a great fighter.But one’s information network absolutely had to keep up.

So, the moment Lu Ding and the others came to the 749 Reserve University to deal with the matter concerning Chi Yanyi and the rest, Secretary Qiu immediately went and found the principal, teachers, and others of the 749 Reserve University and directly started speaking.

”You said before that healthy competition between students, as long as it doesn’t go too far, the school won’t interfere. This is to cultivate students’ independence.”

”Fine. Xinghe suffered grievances from Chu Xiao, from He Wanqiu. I endured it. They’re all students. They’re wrestling with each other. He didn’t handle his own affairs well, gave others a talking point, has to admit it. I endured it!!!”

”I came up this way too.”

”You said, leveraging circumstances is also a skill. As long as Chi Yanyi doesn’t go too far, the school won’t interfere either. Fine. The source of the matter still stems from that incident with Xinghe. I endured that too!!!”

”Consider it a tempering for him.”

”Later, Xinghe dropped out. You said, that was his own decision to withdraw. The school never said they would expel him, never said they would do anything. It was more about letting them compete freely. Xinghe’s psychological resilience wasn’t up to par. I still endured it!!”

”He indeed lacks psychological resilience on this point.”

”You all have your reasons!!”

”But today, Xinghe has returned seeking an explanation, facing two alone, open and aboveboard. If anyone dares to step out now and talk about upholding justice...”

”Then I’m sorry. You didn’t uphold justice before. Running back now to uphold justice violates your own rule that as long as it’s healthy competition, the school won’t interfere. Then I will overturn all my previous forbearance and won’t tolerate it one bit!!!”

Secretary Qiu took off his glasses and sat down by the door.

”I’m sitting right here now. Whoever dares take a step out, I, a civil servant who handles documents, am not entirely unskilled in martial arts or lethal methods!”

”Since you speak of fairness, of letting things be, then let them be to the end.”

”If someone dies, I will bear all the blame.”

”According to the Great Han legal code, the 749 Bureau management regulations, the 749 Reserve University casualty quota, the 749... and other various laws and decrees.”

”Me stopping you from saving someone now would make me an accomplice. However, because this matter has cause and effect, and there are personal disputes between the involved party Fu Xinghe, the parties involved He Wanqiu, and the party involved Chu Xiao...”

”Therefore, resolving the conflict through voluntary sparring is reasonable.”

”If someone dies, then it would be Fu Xinghe committing manslaughter. But because you could have saved them and I prevented it, the greater fault lies with me. My status changes from accomplice to principal offender.”

”Based on what you said before about letting students engage in healthy competition, I, coming here in the capacity of Fu Xinghe’s family member to supervise the healthy process, is reasonable. What I just said, you can accuse me of verbal threats.”

”But the moment you make a move, that signifies a conflict in our understanding of ’healthy competition.’ A conflict in understanding, a difference in stance, makes taking action also reasonable.”

”Fu Xinghe fighting and killing Chu Xiao constitutes manslaughter. Since he is currently on a special envoy assignment, performing confidential duties, under the direct management of Special Envoy personnel under Elder Shui’s command, if you have any questions, please call Elder Shui and request a transfer to Xinghe’s direct superior for extradition procedures.”

”If you want to sue me, you can now sort out your thoughts, confirm the procedures, present the beginning, process, and details of this incident, and face me in court.”

”If you want to take action, you can also take action now.”

Sue him?

Who didn’t know that Elder Shui’s secretary was the biggest legal shark in New City, the completely bottomless kind? His methods skirted the edges, but he would stop at nothing. If a crime wasn’t absolute, he absolutely wouldn’t commit it.

His win rate was one hundred percent.

In his early years, he stirred up storms across the entire city. Even if someone was dead, he could revive the case. He stirred up city-wide storms through lawsuits, a veritable madman within the law.

Later, he reformed and followed Elder Shui.

He specialized in handling lawsuits, miscellaneous affairs, and even participated in the drafting and revision of the Great Han legal code for Elder Shui and his disciples and faction’s juniors.

You want to face him in court?

Of course, whether it was Elder Shui or his disciples, their loyalty to Great Han was absolute.

But it’s just that their way of doing things was a bit rash, easily giving others a handle against them.

But ever since Secretary Qiu followed Elder Shui, these so-called handles were no longer handles.

So...

To resort to force against him wasn’t just offending most of the Great Han’s hawkish faction; it was also offending Elder Shui, that Mountain Vulture of Great Han.

As for suing him, going to court...

Did you really think his one hundred percent win rate came for free?

The atmosphere in the room was somewhat oppressive.

”Qiu Lü, you were a scoundrel before, and you still are a scoundrel now. I thought you had reformed, but I never expected you to have become even worse!!”

Qiu Lü, Secretary Qiu’s original name.

From the name alone, one could tell he was born to eat this bowl of rice.

Secretary Qiu wiped the glasses in his hand, slowly raising his eyes. ”If you’re not convinced, hit me. If you’re not convinced, sue me. Do you dare? Are you capable?”

”Back when it was my nephew’s matter, I endured again and again. I did reform. You saying that isn’t wrong. But my reformation was met with you pushing your luck even further!!!”

”I really gave you all too much face.”

”Now, what do you mean by saying these things? Trying to scare me?”

”Are you capable? Are any of you capable?”

”From the day I, Qiu, fought my first lawsuit to this day, which day has there been no one wanting to kill me? Which day has there been no one wanting me dead? That I have lived to this day is not by mere luck.”

As he spoke to this point, Secretary Qiu stood up and slowly walked over to the person who had spoken, the Vice-Principal of the 749 Reserve University, placing both hands on the desk.

”Among those who want to move against me, you are not the first, nor will you be the last. Now you want to intimidate me? Who the hell do you think you are!?”

”Come on!!!!!”

The Vice-Principal’s face turned ashen, his fists clenching and unclenching repeatedly.

Until the seated Principal reached out and placed a cup of tea in front of him.

Only then did the Vice-Principal of the 749 Reserve University rein in his gaze, seize the opportunity to back down, and stop looking at Secretary Qiu.

The spokesperson changed from the Vice-Principal to the Principal. ”Qiu Lü, is it necessary to make such a big fuss? It’s a personal grudge. Venting is enough.”

Secretary Qiu turned and walked back to sit on the chair beside the door.

”That depends on my nephew’s own wishes.”

As he spoke, the perspective shifted to the library of the 749 Reserve University, where an old man sweeping the floor turned his head to look outside through the window.

If Chu Xiao were here, he would discover that this old man sweeping the floor was precisely the old man who had advised him to start his internship early back then.

”Sigh.......”

”This person to break the deadlock still has to be this old bone of mine.”

On the other side.

Chu Xiao, whose life hung by a thread under the repeated heavy slashes of the deity phantom, was undergoing a sudden mutation.

From the many wounds on his body, bloody energy drilled out and scurried about, continuously repairing each potentially fatal wound.

This scene made Lu Ding look sideways, his gaze falling on Chu Xiao, who was recovering his condition and injuries.

As he spoke, Lu Ding clenched his hand.

Black smoke rolled, the Red Coffin opened wide, and slender ghostly hands delivered a blade.

Lu Ding caught the long blade, ready to intervene at any moment.

As long as Fu Xinghe couldn’t handle it, and some messy things popped out.

Lu Ding would slash down with his blade, cleaving everything before him in two, preventing any special circumstances from occurring.

Anyway, at a time like this, if Chu Xiao really was a protagonist, then it would either be his final trump card, or a great power protecting him, or something else.

Whatever it was.

Lu Ding didn’t care.

As long as it appeared, he would first take a slash to assess the situation.

’He... actually uses a blade too?’

What did this mean?

If this person wearing scholar-warrior sleeves was simply strong, then He Cheng would have accepted his loss.

But with Lu Ding drawing his blade!!!

He Cheng’s cultivation heart began to tremble, cracks slowly crawling up it.

After all, Hanjing was the capital of Great Han. If you randomly threw a brick, you could hit a genius.

What he couldn’t accept was that Lu Ding, clearly someone who used blades and weapons, had beaten them bare-handed despite having cultivation at a similar Fifth Restriction level.

He Cheng dejectedly lowered his head.

The anxiety in his heart dissipated, his tone tinged with powerlessness. ”I surrender... admit defeat... accept punishment.”

Lu Ding glanced at him.

This person was quite clever.

How could Lu Ding not see the little schemes in his heart and the changes in his current state?

Earlier, He Cheng personally taking action, throwing the blade to knock out He Wanqiu, was already an understanding that there was no need to continue fighting.

First, making his sister unconscious, preventing her from compounding her mistakes while also showing his stance.

Now saying these words.

He made it clear that he would bear all the consequences today, whether it was the mistakes his sister committed or the consequences of just fighting Lu Ding, he would take full responsibility.

To be an older brother to this extent.

Lu Ding nodded. ”Wait there. Your issue will be addressed later.”

”Back when it was my nephew’s matter, I endured again and again. I did reform. You saying that isn’t wrong. But my reformation was met with you all pushing your luck and taking advantage of my forbearance!!!”

His words had just fallen.

When they saw ahead.

The bloody energy drilling out from within Chu Xiao’s body gradually gathered into a tall, imposing phantom. The moment it emerged, it shattered Fu Xinghe’s lethal technique.

”Sigh... enough is enough.”

Secretary Qiu’s character setting somewhat mirrored reality, so it got reviewed. This chapter is a bit late, sorry everyone.
