One person: Started at Wudang, got hit on the head by Lu Zu's sword.

"I thought you were going to kill me to silence me, Master Lu!"

Er Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief: "Master Lu, have you shrouded the entire Longhu Mountain in a dream?"

"This method is terrifying!"

Lu Xuan glanced at Er Zhuang.

"Zhao Fangxu sent you to see me just to say this?"

Erzhuang: "..."

I just asked casually.

Lu Xuan's gaze swept over Er Zhuang, making him feel an immense pressure.

Why do I have this feeling that if I said it was Chairman Zhao who asked, something bad would happen to Chairman Zhao today?

It must be an illusion, right?

Erzhuang quickly waved his hand: "No, Chairman Zhao asked me to come mainly for the Wang family, since you're going to the capital in the future..."

Er Zhuang's words were vague, but his meaning was very clear.

Ever since Lu Xuan, separated by a thousand miles, nailed Wang Ai to death in the Wang family with a single sword strike and left behind that blood-written countdown.

Old Zhao is even more anxious than those brain-dead collateral relatives of the Wang family. Now his heart beats too fast every day, and he can even tell if there are a few grains of rice missing from his nitroglycerin pills.

Zhao Fangxu knew he had to meet with Lu Xuan to get a guarantee that no one else would be affected when Lu Xuan came to the capital to take action against the Wang family, even if that guarantee was almost self-deception.

Even if Lu Xuan really makes a big fuss, what can the company do? What can they do?

As long as Lu Xuan doesn't officially declare that he's going to turn the world upside down, the company should do its best to maintain the current situation.

Previously, the company always talked about "the big picture" and "balance," and that's what the company did, but its actions were limited to maintaining the world of supernatural beings.

After all, the company had the solid strength to stabilize the whole country, so it was not afraid of the backlash from the world of supernatural beings.

But now everything has changed!

After two unsuccessful attempts, the company lost the initiative.

The company no longer holds the power, and the previously balanced situation is slowly tilting.

The most telling sign of the current "imbalance" is...

Ren Fei has accepted Xu Si's friend request!

Xu Si: “(?????)”

That's right! The biggest winner of this round has emerged: Xu Si.

As the scapegoat initially introduced by the company, he now serves as "a link for peaceful coexistence and harmonious society within the world of supernatural beings."

Xu Si fully demonstrated the principle that the larger the undertaking, the more power one possesses, and the easier it is to advance in one's career.

Xu Si: I have to say something, if it weren't for Master Lu back then...

The situation is beyond our control.

Now that Zhao Fangxu is in his current position, he has to be careful with every word and action, but he has no leverage to support an equal dialogue with Lu Xuan.

Zhao Fangxu could only postpone the meeting until he heard that the Luotian Grand Ceremony was ending a day early and would conclude tomorrow.

Then the question comes-

After the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony ends, where will Lu Xuan go?

Zhao Fangxu: Where are my nitroglycerin pills?

Zhao Fangxu was unable to come, so he sent Erzhuang with a mission to Longhu Mountain.

The mission of Nadutong Company has always been to maintain a balance between the world of supernatural beings and real society.

As a paperhanger, Zhao Fangxu is under increasing pressure due to the "imbalance" of power in the world of supernatural beings, and he is almost ready to give up and give up.

As long as Master Lu doesn't "coincidentally," "accidentally," or "mistakenly" affect the capital, then whatever he does afterward is fine.

Erzhuang: "(????)??"

"Master Lu, I've delivered my message! ovo~"

Lu Xuan nodded.

"Zhao Fangxu is quite cautious..."

"However, I never intended to cause any more trouble."

Upon hearing the first part of the sentence, Erzhuang nodded in satisfaction.

Zhao Fangxu built the company from scratch, accumulating substantial achievements and prestige, but his cautious and humble attitude never changed.

Now that Master Lu is willing to not disrupt the fragile balance in the world of supernatural beings, Zhao Fangxu, this old man, can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Then I heard Lu Xuan scratch his chin and say the second half of the sentence.

"But isn't the imbalance of power in the world of superhumans a good thing for Zhao Fangxu?"

Erzhuang: "∑(?д?;)"

Master Lu, is it something I should listen to?

I wouldn't dare listen to what you're saying!

Chapter 119: The calm before the storm...

"Which..."

"I've delivered the message, I'm off now!"

After Erzhuang finished speaking, he disappeared as if fleeing for his life.

We can't continue this conversation any further; Chairman Zhao Fangxu is too old to handle any more stress.

Besides, I'm just an innocent and beautiful girl, and I shouldn't be involved in these things!

"I haven't finished speaking yet! You can't even take a joke..."

Watching Erzhuang run away as if his life depended on it.

Lu Xuan raised his hand and grabbed Er Zhuang again.

"Let me go please!"

"Master Lu, I know nothing."

"I'm just an innocent and beautiful girl who happened to be passing by!"

Radish Head Erzhuang covered his ears with his hands, kicking his short legs wildly with an expression that said, "I don't know anything."

"Alright, let me change the subject."

Seeing how exaggerated Erzhuang's acting was, Lu Xuan stopped teasing her.

One should follow one's own path; fame and fortune are fleeting clouds to those who seek the Way.

Xu Si's ability to go from being a scapegoat to now seizing opportunities and gaining more and more influence is due to his own opportunities and choices.

Whether Zhao Fangxu will take this opportunity to expand the company's power and influence is his own business.

Lu Xuan had no intention of getting involved in the power struggles within the company.

That would be so embarrassing!

"Then, Master Lu, please ask..."

Er Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief.

Just don't keep asking those questions that are likely to result in a 404 error.

I'm just an employee, why should I be told things that only the higher-ups need to know?

Then, Erzhuang heard Lu Xuan speak.

"After I leave Longhu Mountain, I plan to go to the area outside the Great Wall..."

Lu Xuan's voice rang out softly.

"How do you, your father, or the Gao family behind you plan to conduct yourselves?"

Erzhuang: "..."

The road is long and you're all covered in mud. Can we talk about something else?

There's no need to keep talking about such high-end topics. Can we talk about something more down-to-earth?

The other main characters are still struggling to fight the Quanxing! You're directly asking me how the Gao family will choose sides?

Is this a topic that an innocent little girl like me should know?

Although Erzhuang actually knew a little about this...

The death of Liu Kunsheng on Longhu Mountain was no small matter; the aftershocks it caused were far greater than what the audience thought: "Boring, I want to see rivers of blood."

The incident caused a violent upheaval throughout the area outside the Great Wall.

The two brothers, Deng Youfu and Deng Youcai, did not go back directly. Instead, after communicating with Guan Shihua, they went to the company's branch office for protection through Guan Shihua's connections.

But those immortals are pressing closer and closer, and it's unknown how long Guan Shihua, the leader whom the younger generation calls "Grandma Guan," can hold out.

Even among the immortals, there is no monolithic unity; they fight among themselves. This is determined by their nature. Do you really think that rats and snakes can coexist peacefully?

If neither side backs down, it could lead to a second split, potentially triggering a bloodbath.

If Guan Shihua hadn't withstood the pressure and backed down, Deng Youfu and Deng Youcai would likely have been handed over, and their lives would have been in danger.

If those immortals were to back down, the lineage of shamans, which was barely maintained by the five families, would also break apart.

Some people wanted to kill Deng Youfu and Deng Youcai to temporarily quell the unrest.

However, the two are currently under the company's protection. If they were to die under the company's protection, the shamanic lineage and the company would become enemies again.

In short, it's a complete mess right now, and just thinking about it is giving me a headache...

Er Zhuang let out a long sigh.

"My family is caught in the middle and suffering from both sides. Now my dad's hair is almost all gone!"
