Martial Arts: I Have Diligence Reward System

”President, use your trump card.” The assistant looked at Bai Zhiyong and nodded firmly.

Bai Zhiyong gritted his teeth. He thought for a moment, weighing his options. He had to secure Heiye and Su Qingfeng. Even if he couldn’t get Su Qingfeng, he absolutely needed Heiye. This concerned his Rank Eight lifeline. It wasn’t just about his strength, but his lifespan as well. He was willing to do this at any cost.

Then, he took out a brand-new document from his Beast Selection Waist Bag.

”You are all so short-sighted. I sealed off the bamboo forest not only to negotiate with Prince Qing, but also to carry out a secret mission assigned by my uncle.

”Because of this secret mission, absolutely nothing can be taken from the bamboo forest.

”Prince Qing, I know you are powerful.

”Su Yue, I’ve also heard of how domineering you can be.

”But are you really going to defy the Grand Marshal’s secret order?” Bai Zhiyong took a deep breath, speaking in a very solemn tone.

”It’s the Grand Marshal’s personal signature!” The Shenchu Corps Major General stepped forward. He examined it carefully and confirmed without a doubt that it was Yuan Longhan’s handwriting. The Shenchu Corps kept many documents issued by Yuan Longhan on file.

”This is troublesome,” Su Yue said, frowning deeply. If it truly was Yuan Longhan’s secret order, he wouldn’t be able to argue against it. Even his dad wouldn’t be able to say anything. This was no simple matter.

Su Yue looked at his father.

However, Su Qingfeng was still staring at the Star Cleansing Stones, his face completely expressionless. He even seemed a bit distracted, as if he didn’t care about the situation at all.

Bai Zhiyong turned his head and gave his assistant a thoughtful look.

The secret order was, of course, forged. This was the assistant’s last resort. After all, forcing the renowned Prince Qing to yield was bound to be fraught with twists and turns. Sure enough, Bai Zhiyong had finally played his ultimate trump card.

No one would dare go to Yuan Longhan to verify it. This was a secret order. Moreover, Yuan Longhan was busy with countless affairs and wouldn’t have the chance to visit the prison to see Su Qingfeng, nor would a Peak expert ever descend into the Wet Realm. As for Su Yue, he had even less of a chance to check. Therefore, it was impossible for this forged secret order to be exposed.

”Major General, I hope you keep the Grand Marshal’s secret well-protected so the alien races don’t find out. This is a military order.

”And Su Yue, you must not leak a single bit of information either.

”Prince Qing, I’ll say it again: I know the Divine Return Tower is very important, but I also desperately need Heiye. I promise you, I will not put Heiye in any danger!

”It’s better to squash enmity than keep it alive. Our cooperation is truly a win-win situation.

”I am the Grand Marshal’s relative. You should do me a favor for the old man’s sake. In fact, my uncle has already silently consented to this matter regarding Heiye; he just couldn’t state it publicly!” Bai Zhiyong walked up to Su Qingfeng and spoke with profound earnestness.

His tone inevitably sounded like that of a victor. Yes, every time a negotiation was successful, Bai Zhiyong would use this exact tone. Always successful, invincible.

Wait!

Something seemed off. Su Qingfeng’s expression was abnormal; he was too calm. Given his temper, he should have been furious yet utterly helpless. But right now, there was a hint of mockery in Su Qingfeng’s eyes. He looked as though he were watching a play. Yes, the way he looked at Bai Zhiyong was like he was looking at a clown.

”Bai Zhiyong, when did I give you a secret order? Why don’t I know about it?

”Also, what did I silently consent to? Heiye is needed for elixir research. When did I ever agree to give him to you?”

Right at this moment, a resonant voice rang out from deep within the bamboo forest.

”Grand Marshal!” The Shenchu Corps Major General froze for a second before standing at attention and saluting, his voice slightly hoarse. The Grand Marshal had actually come to the Wet Realm?

”Uncle, you... how did you...” When Bai Zhiyong clearly saw Yuan Longhan’s figure, he stumbled back in fright, nearly landing on his rear in the mud. He was scared out of his wits.

”How did I end up in the Wet Realm?

”If I hadn’t come, how would I have known that you committed such a grave crime?!

”Bai Zhiyong, I am very disappointed!” Yuan Longhan shook his head.

I’m sorry, everyone. I really have some family matters to deal with; I’m not just being lazy.

Please give me a few more days. Right now, I can only squeeze out time to go to an internet cafe and write a couple thousand words!

I promise I won’t stop updating!

I’m truly sorry!
