After giving these instructions, Jiang Yan turned to Yu Shuanghua: "You can go now. The world outside Liyang Country is more suitable for you. If you can survive the upcoming struggle, then a Cadre position will definitely have your name on it."
Hearing this, Yu Shuanghua's face flushed with excitement. As the Monster Association grew larger, a Cadre position now, if placed in Nanwu Country, would hold no less power than those Team Leader-level positions.
Furthermore, with the unique soul crystal within, becoming a Cadre would grant him a soul crystal, causing his strength to skyrocket once more.
"President! I will not let you down!" Yu Shuanghua's face was filled with enthusiasm, feeling confident about his future... Within a verdant mountain, a small sect was nestled.
Fang Wenyu knelt tearfully before a bed, where a bandaged, dying old man spoke.
"Wenyu, I couldn't defeat others simply because my strength was lacking. If you want to uphold the justice in your heart, you must have strength, even if the path to obtaining it is a bit dirty."
"I understand, Master. It's all my fault!" Fang Wenyu lowered his head.
"You must remember, your Master was not killed by you; it was due to inferior skill. The justice in your heart must be upheld to the very end, even if it means resorting to unscrupulous methods!!!" The Master lying on the bed, at some unknown point, turned his hollow eyes to look at Fang Wenyu.
A strange look was on his face, and he kept repeating, "Uphold the justice in your heart, even if it means resorting to unscrupulous methods; uphold the justice in your heart, even if it means resorting to unscrupulous methods..."
The sound grew louder and louder, filling the entire room with this repeating voice.
"Uphold the justice in your heart!!!!" Suddenly, the voice rose countless times in volume.
"Whoosh!" Fang Wenyu opened his eyes, his body trembling, his hands tightly clenched!
Looking at his surroundings, he was sitting in the back seat of a small car, with Qin Wan leaning on his shoulder.
Fang Wenyu's movement made her look up and ask, "Xiao Yuyu, what's wrong? Your body is shaking badly."
"Nothing, just had a dream." Fang Wenyu shook his head.
"Oh." Qin Wan continued to lean on his shoulder for a short nap; she really enjoyed this feeling.
With her Senior Brother around, she felt completely secure.
Fang Wenyu's eyes flickered: 'Strange, why am I always dreaming of Master lately?'
His Master had been dead for over twenty years, and he had never experienced such a thing before.
Fortunately, it was just frequent dreams and hadn't affected his mental state, otherwise he would have thought someone had tampered with his mind.
While he was pondering, the vehicle slowly stopped, and the driver in front respectfully said, "Team Leader Fang, Team Leader Qin, we have arrived."
"Let's get out." Fang Wenyu looked at Qin Wan, who had drooled all over his arm, and helplessly patted her.
"I know, I know." Qin Wan reluctantly moved away from Fang Wenyu's shoulder.
The two got out of the car and looked up at the building in front of them.
Town City Xuanjian Division Headquarters.
"Let's go, the Director is waiting for me. By the way, your injury should have healed long ago, why are you still wearing bandages?" Fang Wenyu looked at Qin Wan, who was bandaged but insisted on coming along.
For a Fifth-Level Awakener, a fracture was a minor injury. With their powerful bodies, it would generally heal by itself overnight, with no after-effects within two days.
Qin Wan smiled, saying nothing.
Without bandages, how could she pretend to be injured and get close to her Senior Brother?
The two walked inside, taking the elevator directly to the top floor, the 330th floor.
Ding! The elevator doors opened, revealing an ancient courtyard-style building. In the center, there was a small artificial pond with some lotus flowers, and goldfish swam beneath the water.
Two Awakened Ones dressed in ancient household servant attire stood at the elevator entrance.
Seeing the two approach, they quickly bowed respectfully and said, "Team Leader Fang, Team Leader Qin, the Director is already waiting for you inside."
"Alright!" It wasn't Fang Wenyu's first time here.
He led Qin Wan along the edge and soon saw an ancient hall-like building.
Inside, luminous pearls illuminated the hall as if it were daytime.
The two walked in, but inside the hall, there were no ancient wooden chairs or tables.
Instead, there were modern, expensive luxury sofas.
On one of these sofas, Bai Wenliang, dressed in white clothes and white pants, was lying down playing a game.
"Damn it, can you even play? And you're telling me how to do things? Your old man was still in your grandpa's pants when I was teaching people how to do things!" Bai Wenliang looked at his phone with a slightly flushed face, his mouth spewing words like a machine gun.
Opposite him sat Jiang Ao, in a proper posture, eyes closed, wearing a brown leather jacket and blue jeans.
"Director." Fang Wenyu and Qin Wan came to the left side, greeted Bai Wenliang, and sat on the sofa.
Ding! A few minutes later, a victory sound came from Bai Wenliang's phone.
He tossed his phone aside. As a Level Six Awakener, his reaction speed was incomparable to ordinary people.
When playing 5v5 competitive games, even with terrible teammates, he could easily crush the opponents.
He sat up from the sofa, looked at Fang Wenyu and Jiang Ao, and said, "You two should know why I called you here. The position of Deputy Director is now vacant, and there's no one to share my worries with. I have to decide everything myself, it's really annoying."
Jiang Ao opened his eyes and looked at Bai Wenliang: "Director, I understand your difficulties. A world-class powerhouse like you should freely enjoy life, not be bogged down by trivial matters. Therefore, I am willing to share your burdens!"
As soon as he said this, before Fang Wenyu could speak, Qin Wan sneered, "I heard some people treat the states they manage as personal property. If such a person became Deputy Director, would our Nanwu Country have another emperor?"
Jiang Ao glanced at them. Due to their personalities, Fang Wenyu and Qin Wan were the two most at odds with him within the Xuanjian Division.
"That's still better than someone who lost even with a two-on-one advantage. Our Xuanjian Division governs by martial prowess. If word got out that a loser became Deputy Director, how would our Xuanjian Division deter those with ulterior motives?" Jiang Ao showed no politeness, his gaze coldly fixed on the two.
Fang Wenyu sneered, "You talk as if you won. Everyone knows your ability to save your own life is extremely strong, yet you were still heavily injured. Honestly, even a dog could play with your ability better than you."
"Young people have such short tempers, stop arguing." Bai Wenliang looked at the few people whose tempers were flaring up again, and said casually, leaning back on the sofa.
But his gaze remained fixed on the two of them.
As soon as he spoke, the few who were about to continue talking immediately stopped and said no more.
If they continued to provoke him, they might just receive a beating.
