Lu Xuan's gaze followed, gradually becoming more profound.
Lu Xuan: "(￣︶￣)"
Liu Zhenguo: "(￣_￣)"
Okay, they've definitely been found out!
Liu Zhenguo simply stopped struggling, and his figure shifted and materialized from the air.
Lu Xuan's first impression of Liu Zhenguo was that he had an extraordinary temperament and was otherworldly.
He truly deserves to be called a true cultivator who has perfected his sexual cultivation to the extreme and reached the realm of Yang Shen.
My second impression was: Wow, that neck is pretty thick! I doubt one hand could hold it up.
"Brother Lu, I am Liu Zhenguo from the Quanzhen Longmen sect. It's an abrupt meeting!"
Liu Zhenguo bowed somewhat awkwardly.
There are many sects within the Quanzhen Sect, and he and Lu Xuan can at least be considered half fellow disciples.
Now caught red-handed spying, Liu Zhenguo felt inexplicably embarrassed, realizing he wasn't shameless enough.
"Brother Liu, since we're meeting for the first time, we should sit down and discuss the Dao."
“But you’re here on orders from the company, so we can’t talk about personal relationships now.”
Lu Xuan returned the greeting.
Then she gently reached out and beckoned to Liu Zhenguo.
“I have already made my position clear, but the company will test me once or twice, and I don’t intend to wait for a third time.”
Lu Xuan had no issues with the company or Zhao Fangxu himself, but he also had no intention of compromising with the company's principles and rules.
The satellite remote probe was the first, and Liu Zhenguo's Yang Shen's travels and visits were the second. If we don't respond, the probes will only continue indefinitely.
The most important thing for a person cultivating the Tao is to be sincere with themselves. How can one attain the Tao if one's thoughts are not clear?
As a behemoth, the company is sometimes beyond Zhao Fangxu's complete control. If he wants the company to follow his rules, he must demonstrate his strength to the company.
"Brother Lu, what you mean is..."
Liu Zhenguo's gaze fell on Lu Xuan's hooked hand, and his brows furrowed.
"Brother Lu, you misunderstand. I did not come here to fight."
Liu Zhenguo shook his head slightly.
He was only doing this to show the company's stance.
He has a lot of autonomy in the company, which is equivalent to representing the orthodox faction of the extraordinary people within the company. There is no need for him to fight Lu Xuan.
"But I need Brother Liu to pass on a message for me..."
Lu Xuan spoke softly, and as his voice rang out, the entire hall began to distort and change.
"What do you mean, Brother Lu Dao?"
Liu Zhenguo was taken aback, his expression shifting.
Looking around the suddenly transformed and distorted hall, a sense of déjà vu, both strange and familiar, welled up in my heart.
Lu Xuan's voice echoed.
“I have no intention of targeting the order that the company has established, but the company’s probing should stop at a certain point, and they need to know what to fear.”
Liu Zhenguo pondered the words carefully, only to feel the boundless arrogance in Lu Xuan's words, as if an immortal were looking down on the world, and all mortals were like ants in his palm.
Beneath Lu Xuan's calm demeanor lay an arrogant attitude that disregarded everything. He looked down upon the entire world with natural composure.
Even his usually calm mind was stirred by some ripples, and Liu Zhenguo became a little angry.
Looking at Lu Xuan in front of him, Liu Zhenguo couldn't help but speak.
What should a company respect?
"What the company should respect..."
Lu Xuan's hand suddenly swung out, instantly becoming so large that it blotted out the sky.
The entire hall and everything within sight collapsed into nothingness in an instant, and then the whole world turned into a blank "white".
Liu Zhenguo felt as if the whole world had suddenly spiraled out of control. He was powerless to resist the force unleashed by Lu Xuan's large hand and was thrown around like a lone boat in a raging storm.
Then his body crashed into this empty, pale world.
His body twisted, and Liu Zhenguo's calm mind was instantly stirred by a storm.
This caused the pale world to collapse and tremble with the storm.
A sudden realization dawned on me: no wonder I had felt a strange mix of unfamiliarity and familiarity earlier.
Because this is not the Yongle Palace.
He was a dream cultivator, but he didn't know when he had been pulled into a dream by Lu Xuan.
Wudang should not have the lineage of dream cultivation techniques. Where did Lu Xuan learn dream cultivation techniques from?
No! That's not the point.
The key point is that this happened in my own dream, yet I, who specializes in dream cultivation, was actually being crushed in my own dream?
The dream collapsed, and Lu Xuan's voice seemed to come from the distant heavens, echoing simultaneously beside him and Yang Shen.
"What the company should respect..."
Chapter Twenty-Six: We All Need Courage
Nadutong branch.
While searching for information in his office to investigate who was using evil spirits to harm people, Xu Si suddenly received a new message.
I opened my phone and couldn't help but frown.
It turns out to be an official document from Nadutong Company?
Has the company officially appointed me as the "Leader of the NaDuTong Joint Special Operations Team in Wudang Mountain"?
Xu Si: "(゜.゜)?"
Damn it! You might as well put it more clearly.
What connection could I, a person from North China, possibly have with Wudang?
Could this be made any clearer?
Do you dare to write Lu Xuan's name directly on it?
There were so many flaws that Xu Si stared at his phone for a long time without realizing it.
Upon closer examination, Xu Si discerned the scapegoating, the new level of expertise, the company's apprehension, and Zhao Fangxu's emotional intelligence...
So, having taken the blame the first time, I'm now the one to take all the blame afterward?
I want to see Zhao Fangxu! I want to see Zhao Fangxu! I have made contributions to the company, and my father shed blood for Nadutong. You can't treat me like this!
Xu Si's silent cry echoed in his heart.
"Xu Si, what's wrong with you?"
Bao'er, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but ask when she saw Xu Si standing there in a daze.
Xu Si scratched his head and spoke expressionlessly.
"It seems I'll be in charge of coordinating with Wudang from now on!"
"Xu Si, are you stupid?" Bao'er looked surprised, not even finishing the cucumber in her hand.
"Wudang is in Hubei, what does it have to do with North China?"
Xu Si was speechless. If even Bao'er knew about this, how could the company not know?
However, Zhao Fangxu still issued such an official company announcement, which shows how much was involved.
Just a few days ago, Chairman Zhao asked him to personally represent the authorities in making contact, but today he issued an official statement clearly stating that he is fully responsible. What exactly happened in between with such a big change?
My hand slipped and I stumbled upon a news article.
Breaking news: A small-scale, high-intensity earthquake suddenly struck a mountain range near the border of the Kyoto and Hebei provinces.
Xu Si glanced at it.
Did the earthquake trigger a small landslide? A small Taoist temple in the mountains collapsed? And were some Taoist priests buried?
How can there be a small Taoist temple in such a prime location near Kyoto?
Xu Si didn't think much of it and his thoughts returned to the official document.
He subconsciously folded the second half of the cucumber from Bao'er's hand and took a bite.
Hmm... it all has the flavor of "a wise man submits to circumstances."
[I'll leave the company aspect at that; I've covered most of what I wanted to say. The company has tried both its scientific and superhuman resources, and it couldn't defeat them.]
Knowing full well that they couldn't win, that the two sides weren't inherently hostile, and that negotiations were possible, the company's decision to compromise was inevitable.
Xu Si shook his head as he ate a cucumber.
To have the company reach this level, this Taoist priest must truly be invincible.
After a while, I realized what was happening.
"Bao'er, didn't I tell you to investigate the supernatural people who use evil spirits to harm others?"
"Why are you here?"
"The investigation has stalled."
Bao'er pulled out another slice of watermelon from somewhere and mumbled something while eating it.
"That fool is going to his death!"
Xu Si was full of questions, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the real-time surveillance footage of Yongle Palace.
Soon, a seemingly dignified figure dressed in a Taoist robe was seen flashing past the outer perimeter of Yongle Palace.
