Chapter 113: The Necessity of a Confidentiality Protocol

After reaching an agreement with Academician Fang to prepare a batch of culture medium for their outdoor experiments, Lu Yu saw them off from the botanical research park.

Returning to his office, Lu Yu shed his smile and had Li Chaoyan summoned.

Li Chaoyan knocked and entered the office. Seeing Lu Yu’s stern expression, he felt a bit awkward. "Director Lu, you wanted to see me?"

Lu Yu leaned back in his chair, staring at Li Chaoyan without saying a word for a long time.

"Buy your head! How many gold bars do you even have? Do you know the price of gold? A villa? You'd be lucky if I could afford the down payment for a car for you," Yang Ling said sharply.

Hearing this, Chu Yi let out a soft sigh. Everything he currently relied on came from his wife, which left him with an inexplicable sense of frustration.

The knowledge integrated directly into his mind, instantly turning him into a cyber expert and allowing him to operate the super-brain with greater ease.

At this moment, Young Master Xuanhai was using his own blood to communicate with the saint’s severed hand, attempting to claim it.

If this man were not a mere worldly cultivator, but a true Immortal Lord from beyond the heavens, then everything seemed to make sense.

Unfortunately, no one had been able to obtain it to this day, as their family was too low-key—so low-key that even if he were to openly reveal his identity today, no one would believe him.

A flicker of pity crossed Ye Liushang’s eyes, but he felt no resentment. If he were in the other person’s shoes, he would have done the same without hesitation, leaving the Moon Shadow Flame behind.

Luo Sicheng hunched his back, pulled a tobacco pouch from his waist, methodically placed a few strands of tobacco into the mouthpiece, lit it slowly, and took a deep drag. A look of intoxication washed over his face.

"Since Brother has agreed to accept this humble Daoist, let me offer my first piece of advice," Gongsun Sheng said.

"From now on, whether this ghost official tries to leak secrets or refuses to obey, they will be obliterated, body and soul, in an instant," Ye Liushang nodded.

He planned to build a massive gate at the bay’s entrance to seal it off from the open sea, while also constructing a fence overhead to prevent other creatures from flying in. As for defensive weaponry, he decided to hold off; until he understood the situation better, it was best to avoid unnecessary bloodshed.

Han Xiao was startled and hurriedly activated his Void-Absorbing Divine Pupils, continuously teleporting his position to narrowly dodge the self-detonations of the venomous insects.

Ye Wushuang countered with the Pagoda of the Three Realms; even the Eye of Mara proved ineffective against the sky-filling blood-red blade light.

"You know about me?" Da Gu frowned upon hearing Ye Lei’s exclamation, his vigilance clearly piqued.

Blade-like leaves pierced into a pair of buttocks, triggering a chorus of screams that echoed through the mountain forest.

In particular, while fighting Han Xiao earlier, he had constantly felt a recoil force that reflected anywhere from ten to thirty percent of his own power back at him, preventing him from breaking through Han Xiao’s defenses despite his relentless attacks.

Jiao Peng, Jiao Wei, and the others nearby were shocked, knowing that it hadn't been long since Ye Wushuang’s last breakthrough. That he had advanced again so soon was simply inconceivable.

The Destiny Inn was truly extraordinary. Its decor was magnificent and opulent, and the entire structure was enveloped in a massive immortal formation capable of blocking all external divine sense detection. Not only was it lavish, but it also covered an astonishingly large area.

Hei Wa was currently training with Yuchi Baolin in the New Army barracks and was sure to have a promising future. Liu Gangzi and Da Niu were still sixth-rank scattered officials; although they were assisting in the logistics department of the New Army, opportunities for merit were scarce there. Wang Xingxin hoped to seize this chance, through the tribute, to earn them some recognition.

Life cannot be relived, so one must move forward with unwavering courage. No matter what suffering or hardships one encounters, one must survive; only by surviving is there hope for the future.
