Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 634: Chapter 632: They’re Here [4th Update]

The military’s efficiency is high, and the decision regarding Xue Qi’s punishment was soon handed down!

There were three reasons.

First, Xue Qi had no military rank; to be accurate, he was not even part of the military!

Second, this was an opinion personally conveyed by the propaganda department’s colonel!

Third, the actions of this unit over the past two years had not gone unnoticed!

Hence, given these three reasons, the Xue Family didn’t dare to make a peep!

Xue Qi was taken away, looking dispirited.

Nevertheless, from the spiteful look in his eyes as he left, it was clear that this was not the end of the matter!

This was exactly what Lu Xiaobu wanted.

You want to end it, but I’m not finished yet!

At the same time, there was another piece of news: Xue Bao was also punished!

However, this was an internal military affair, and it was neither appropriate nor Lu Xiaobu’s place to ask too much about it.

”Zhang Meng, so you were the original instructor!”

Yi Guoqing looked at Zhang Meng with a strange glint in his eyes.

He had just learned of this fact.

But it made sense, as such matters were usually confidential and had been thoroughly covered up by the Xue Family; it was normal for him to be unaware.

”Yes!”

Zhang Meng immediately straightened and saluted!

”Then would you be interested in coming back?”

Yi Guoqing asked.

After all, it was under Zhang Meng’s leadership that the former glory had been achieved.

If Zhang Meng were to return, they could undoubtedly restore that splendor.

The soldiers around them were all looking forward to it with expectant expressions.

”Instructor, come back!”

”Yeah, come back!”

”We all miss you!”

”...”

Hearing their words, Zhang Meng smiled but then shook his head: ”No, not anymore. If possible, have Qiu Yuelun take over as the instructor! Although this guy is a bit hot-headed, he is still capable!”

If he had not met the Young Master, he would certainly have not refused such an invitation.

However, now that he had the Young Master, he preferred to stay by the Young Master’s side.

”Alright, I won’t insist then!”

Yi Guoqing sighed and spoke.

Zhang Meng had already retired, and he had no right to demand anything from him.

”As for Qiu Yuelun, I will report it, but whether it will happen is not for me to decide!”

Yi Guoqing added at the end.

”Thank you!”

Zhang Meng said.

After saying this, he returned to Lu Xiaobu’s side and quietly resumed his role as a bodyguard.

Looking at Lu Xiaobu’s figure, which was not majestic and even tinged with a limitless laziness, his heart felt surprisingly tranquil and peaceful.

It seemed like he was protecting the Young Master, but oftentimes, it was the Young Master who was protecting them!

This was the Young Master, unique and unparalleled in the whole world, the Young Master whom he vowed to follow to the death!

...

This matter came to a temporary close.

Lu Xiaobu spent some more time visiting and also allowed Zhang Meng and the soldiers some time to reunite.

Finally, after promising to definitely produce a TV series on the Special Soldiers, he left the green military camp.

At this moment, it was clear that the gazes of Zhang Meng and Li Jin had changed.

The weight in their hearts had been lifted!

Therefore, on the way back, the aura around the two men began to surge.

After a while.

Zhang Meng looked at Li Jin and chuckled, ”You got through it?”

”Of course, isn’t it the same for you, Instructor?” Li Jin smiled back.

”Hey, you two kiddos, this matter has been hindering your cultivation all along.” Lu Xiaobu’s mouth twitched slightly: ”Why didn’t you guys speak up earlier? If you had, we would’ve sought them out long ago!”

”Hehe!”

Zhang Meng and Li Jin scratched their heads and smiled sheepishly.

Indeed, this matter had troubled them for so long!

The military camp was like their second home, and their fellow comrades there were like their own blood brothers. Knowing their brothers were suffering and being unable to do anything about it had always obstructed their progress in cultivation.

If it weren’t for Young Master resolving the issue this time, they wouldn’t know when they could’ve made their breakthrough!

”Alright, let’s not talk about this matter.” Lu Xiaobu waved his hand: ”The results should be out in these two days!”

...

A week later.

The military propaganda department expressed appreciation for Lu Xiaobu’s ”Bright Sword” and took this opportunity to convey remembrance for the revolutionary forefathers!

All major newspapers also forwarded and published this praise simultaneously.

This accolade instantly caused a sensation across society!

In a coffee shop in Magic City,

”Have you heard? Lu Xiaobu has been singled out again.”

”What? What’s he done this time? Singled out?!”

”Good stuff! It’s a good thing, why do you always think the worst?”

”Can you blame me? Whenever Lu Xiaobu’s name comes up, all I can think of is him starting trouble with someone again!”

”Alright, alright! Fair point! I’ll tell you! Lu Xiaobu has been named for praise! It’s for ’Bright Sword’!”

”No way! That’s awesome! I knew ’Bright Sword’ was absolutely a good drama!”

”Right? It’s so dope!”

”...”

In a gym in Chengdu,

”Hey, Lao Zhang, morning!”

”Hi, it’s my last day with the gym card, so I’m going all out today!”

”Hahaha, makes sense! But don’t overdo it! By the way, you seen the news? About Lu Xiaobu.”

”What are you talking? I’m a die-hard fan of ’Bright Sword,’ of course, I follow that stuff! When I saw the news, I was buzzing! What is this? This is national recognition! This is national support! Awesome! It shows those crappy TV production companies what a good TV drama really is!”

”Although this Lu Xiaobu is much younger than me, I really want to say, Young Master Bu, you’re the bomb!”

”Yeah, the bomb!”

”...”

In a breakfast stall in a small alley in Imperial,

”Brother Li, off to work today? Why so early?”

”Yeah! You know I work at the TV station! ’Bright Sword’ just got mentioned for praise! My boss insisted I secure the rights to the show! Was on the phone the entire night yesterday!”

”Wow, that must’ve been tough for you.”

”Not really! I used to get tired seeing those arrogant producers of crappy dramas, it was mentally exhausting! But this time it’s different! I won’t lie to you, I’m a fan of ’Bright Sword’! I’m really willing to do this job!”

”That’s true, if it were me, I’d be happy too! After all, it lets everyone watch it a few more times!”

”Absolutely! ’Bright Sword’ has not been replayed, and it’s not online either; it’s driving me nuts! Initially, I missed three episodes because of overtime!”

”Then you really missed out! I’ve seen the whole series! Or actually...”

”Hold on, no spoilers, please. Once I get it, I’ll watch it myself!”

”...”

Such fervent discussions were happening everywhere across the country.

Any fan of ”Bright Sword” was delighted and was cheering on!

Moreover, as time passed, with the ongoing buzz and Lu Xiaobu being in the limelight, many of his past deeds were dug up one by one!

Saves people, serves as a peace ambassador, one of the ten outstanding young individuals, beating up some jerks, sanctioning crooked spicy strip sellers, and so on and so forth!

More and more people who didn’t know much about Lu Xiaobu started to understand this ”black sheep” they had always been cursing online!

In the end, people focused on one topic – his removal from the wealth ranking!
