Chapter 970: Zhan Tingzhou Encounters Huangfu Lingyun, Ying Gou Prepares to Seize Territory
......
After a long time of choosing, Huangfu Lingyun found the task that suited him best.
As soon as he accepted it, he could not wait and flew out.
Then, while passing by a figure.
He was suddenly called to stop.
"Huangfu Lingyun?"
Huangfu Lingyun cast a glance over and saw an investigator wearing a mask, who faintly gave off an aura that Huangfu found terrifying.
He frowned and asked, "Do we know each other?"
It was Zhan Tingzhou. If this weren't the 749 Bureau, no Heavenly Perception agent would dare use that tone with someone at the Fifth Restriction without getting beaten at the very least.
But Zhan Tingzhou didn't care about any of that.Right now, his heart was already replaced by shock.
How could Huangfu Lingyun appear here!?
How could Huangfu Lingyun show up so early?
Wasn't the West already under Lu Ding's control?
What was Huangfu Lingyun doing here!?
If he had come, would Bai Hemen have come too?
At the thought of those two who had been unbelievably successful in his past life, Zhan Tingzhou couldn't help but feel some urgency.
Although this life his own progress had been rapid,
those two monsters in their previous life had developed even faster.
They constantly encountered opportunities, fought countless bloody battles, broke through and rebuilt; especially Huangfu Lingyun, who grew stronger through every fight. Although he always faced powerful opponents, he escaped death each time.
He was the kind who took combat to the extreme.
For a moment Zhan Tingzhou didn't know what to say, how could he explain this?
Huangfu Lingyun felt that something was off.
He had just risen from the Third Circle, so logically no one here should recognize him except a few like Lu Ding.
He wasn't stupid.
Even if someone in the records room had seen his file, they wouldn't shout his name out loud like that.
Huangfu Lingyun's eyes shifted, "Weird."
Then he flew off.
Zhan Tingzhou let out a long breath; he really couldn't explain it, but at least Huangfu Lingyun had left.
Unbeknownst to him, the moment Huangfu Lingyun left his sight, he immediately sent a message to Lu Ding.
[Lu Ding, come quickly, there's a suspicious person in our bureau, he recognizes me, he actually recognizes me, this guy must be trouble]
On the other side,
Lu Ding looked at the message on his phone.
He typed back.
[Was he wearing a mask?]
[Huangfu Lingyun: How did you know?]
Lu Ding smiled, was there any need to guess?
Across the entire West 749, aside from Zhan Tingzhou, there was no outsider at this stage who could know Huangfu Lingyun.
Of course, if it hadn't been Zhan Tingzhou,
Lu Ding would have flown over and dealt with him on the spot!
[Lu Ding: It's fine, don't worry, he's one of us, I mentioned you to him]
Seeing this message on his phone,
Huangfu Lingyun's mouth curled up slightly.
His relationship with Lu Ding was not as tightly bound as Yan Feifan's or Bai Hemen's relationships with Lu Ding; they had been through many things.
In fact, he and Lu Ding had even had unpleasant moments.
Although his unique personality had already made him consider Lu Ding a friend, he didn't know whether Lu Ding truly considered him a friend.
Now seeing Lu Ding say this,
Huangfu Lingyun, though unwilling to admit it, felt quite happy.
He shoved his phone into his pocket and muttered to himself.
"Alright then, once I beat you, you won't be allowed to pour my water anymore."
Huangfu Lingyun continued to fly, and at that moment the wind blowing toward him felt joyful.
On the other side,
speaking of Zhan Tingzhou,
Lu Ding immediately sent Zhan Tingzhou a message.
He roughly informed him about the possible situation in the herb garden but did not mention that the inheritance had fallen into Yan Feifan's hands, telling him to be extra careful.
No one knew what was in his half.
This made Zhan Tingzhou feel cared for.
At the same time he suddenly understood why in his past life Jin Chuan could barely survive and eventually reach God Ascension; there were such explanations involved.
[Zhan Tingzhou: Got it. When I have time, I'll go and explore it]
[Lu Ding: Oh right, did you just meet a flashy guy?]
[Zhan Tingzhou: How did you know?]
[Lu Ding: He's one of us, also one of my friends. He saw you wearing a mask and acting mysterious, so he told me he ran into you.]
Lu Ding's words inadvertently gave Zhan Tingzhou a hint.
Judging from Zhan Tingzhou recognizing Huangfu Lingyun,
in Zhan Tingzhou's past life, Huangfu Lingyun must have been extraordinary.
To prevent Zhan Tingzhou from following Huangfu Lingyun and snatching his opportunities, and to avoid a new conflict between the two, Lu Ding chose this indirect way to warn him.
They're all on the same side, don't cause trouble.
Otherwise, given the strength gap between Zhan Tingzhou and Huangfu Lingyun, Lu Ding feared Zhan might accidentally get killed by Huangfu.
Looking at the message on his phone,
Zhan Tingzhou fell silent for a moment, "Friends? Good thing........"
To be honest, he had indeed thought about waiting until his body recovered and then following Huangfu Lingyun to snatch his opportunities; this guy seemed to be covered in dog poop luck—more absurd than mere luck. Although he encountered danger every time, he always managed to gain opportunities.
But since Lu Ding had said that, Zhan Tingzhou let it go.
After all, besides Huangfu Lingyun's opportunities, there were other people's chances too.
He sent a reply.
[Zhan Tingzhou: Understood. I'll go back and write the report first.]
[Lu Ding: How much have you written?]
[Zhan Tingzhou: A little over a thousand characters, I think.]
Seeing that, Lu Ding remembered Zhan Tingzhou had earlier asked him how to write the characters for Songyuan Valley.
Originally Lu Ding thought Xinghe was busy and Feifan had no time, needing to absorb the rare natural treasures to advance realms.
So he had Zhan Tingzhou do it.
Now it seemed a bit unfair to him.
Now Feifan was free, having obtained an opportunity—writing reports was better left to him.
Beep beep beep.....
Lu Ding's fingers danced across the phone keyboard.
[You have a lot going on too, don't bother writing it. I'll have someone else do it. Just focus on getting your body fixed and researching the herb garden. Send messages if you encounter problems.]
As that message from Lu Ding arrived,
Zhan Tingzhou exhaled a big breath.
He took out the report he had written earlier, full of scribbles and corrections.......
He really felt worn out.
Thankfully, someone saved the day.
[Zhan Tingzhou: Okay, then I'll head back for now.]
After Lu Ding received the message, he turned off his phone and stood up, took out another spare bodycam from his room, and removed the one on his chest.
He told Yan Feifan, "Feifan, thanks for your hard work."
"The video is all saved in there. The other details I can narrate to you."
Yan Feifan produced his usual carried device, "Lu Ge, can I watch the video first?"
"Sure, go ahead. I'm free for now, not in a hurry."
As soon as he said that, it was like a flag had been raised.
Lu Ding's phone immediately chimed with a new message.
[Ying Gou: I'm ready over here. I'm about to go to Jinhua Tian Temple in the south and issue a challenge to the 749 there. Do you want to come?]
A battle challenge meant a direct fight; the winner kept the legitimacy, the loser went home in disgrace.
It coincided perfectly with Lu Ding's free time.
Lu Ding looked down at his phone, then up at Yan Feifan.
His expression was helpless.
Yan Feifan said, "Lu Ge, is it work? Do you need me to accompany you?"
Lu Ding thought for a moment, "Perfect timing. Your realm is enough now; you should start formal duties. Come with me, get familiar with things."
Yan Feifan immediately got up, put on his glasses, and connected the bodycam Lu Ding had taken off.
While watching the video at double speed he said, "Lu Ge, I've been preparing. I was just waiting for you to say that. Where are we going?"
During this time he had not only cultivated; time had been squeezed like water from a sponge—Yan Feifan had crammed, sleeplessly reading and memorizing the enormous information about the new city.
His priority ranking was: the southeast, east, and north regions were more important than the west; the west had already been unified by Lu Ding.
Fu Xinghe, who had arrived early, already held the advantage.
If Yan Feifan wanted to surpass latecomers, he had to start with the other three regions. Others didn't know Lu Ding well—did he not know Lu Ding? Although stability was needed now, expansion was inevitable.
This was making the best use of circumstances, playing to strengths and avoiding weaknesses.
In response to Yan Feifan's question, Lu Ding said, "Go to Jinhua Tian Temple in the south, help someone fight."
Yan Feifan instantly said, "Jinhua Tian Temple, it's one of the southern regions with favorable geography, abundant wealth, many mountain ranges, and numerous sects, dozens both large and small......."
"Jinhua Tian Temple 749, Bureau Chief Jiang Zhen, Deputy Bureau Chief Dai Ping, both at God Ascension. The assigned special envoy is Kong Wenshu, God Ascension, Ninth Restriction. He comes from Shenzhou, one of Great Han's three continents, from the Mushinguan 749 Bureau, with a glorious record—there have been Fifth Restriction fighters who killed God Ascension opponents, and God Ascension against Spirit Refinement feats........"
