First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!
Chapter 191: Lu Ding’s Become a Leader Too

......

Lu Ding hadn’t expected it either.

He’d somehow ended up becoming a leader.

But based on priority status, he really was a leader.

Even though those two were also formal investigators like him,

He was a Special Appointee.

Lu Ding stepped forward and returned their salute—his attitude casual, but his posture textbook.

“Is there an office area? Let’s head there to complete the handover procedures.”

Gotta go through the proper process.

“This way, Sir.”

As she pointed the direction, she shot a glance at Wu Yishuang.

‘Quick—look him up. See if you can dig up anything on him.’

Wu Yishuang returned a look: ‘Don’t worry, I got this. You lead, I’ll trail and search. I’ll send you the results.’

At the back of the group,

Wu Yishuang pulled out her phone and began searching for Lu Ding and Bai Hemen in the 749 database.

And what she found—scared her.

Scrolling through the details, her eyes widened.

Unconsciously, Wu Yishuang’s back straightened. Her face turned bold and confident.

‘No wonder he’s so domineering… turns out there’s a reason behind it…’

Eyes flashing, Wu Yishuang veered off from the group and headed aside.

Meanwhile,

In the makeshift office, Yu Qingli opened the door and said, “Sirs, the conditions here are a bit rough. You’ll have to put up with the accommodations for tonight.”

“This is all we’ve got for now…”

Just then, a faint rumble came from outside.

It was already late at night. Not enough to wake the workers—

But for Cultivators of Qi, the sound was clear as day.

Lu Ding, thinking something was wrong, immediately walked out to check.

Only to see—

A two-story wooden cabin had somehow appeared beside the woods near the site.

Yu Qingli stared, mouth agape.

It felt like she was dreaming.

And right then—her phone rang.

She picked up, and Wu Yishuang’s breathless voice came through:

“Lord Lu Taishui, I put up a little two-story building for you and White Futuo. It’s temporary—please make do for now.”

“Once my spiritual energy recovers, I’ll upgrade it for you both.”

Yu Qingli swallowed hard.

Is this really the same Wu Yishuang…?

That attitude shift came outta nowhere. No warning at all.

Lu Ding felt like he was putting her through too much trouble.

He was about to say she didn’t need to go to such lengths—

But Wu Yishuang’s voice came through again:

“You all talk, I’ll let Qingli handle the hosting duties.”

Then she hung up.

Yu Qingli now had a newfound respect in her heart.

She led the two into the room again,

Unlocking her phone while starting the official procedures.

At the same time, she pulled out disposable teacups and an electric kettle.

Just as she poured tea for them—

“Please have some tea, Sirs. The setup’s rough, we—”

Before she could finish, fast footsteps came from outside.

Someone burst in.

Yu Qingli stared in disbelief.

Who the hell knows where Wu Yishuang got a full tea set out here in the middle of nowhere.

Thinking back to what she’d just said—

Her hand tightened around the now-empty cup, crumpling it.

Veins bulged slightly on her forehead.

But Wu Yishuang acted like she hadn’t seen any of it, stepping forward to lay out the tea set.

“Sorry, Lord Lu Taishui, conditions in the mountains are rough. The tea leaves are poor too—our hospitality’s lacking.”

As she spoke—

In Yu Qingli’s shocked gaze, Wu Yishuang pulled out a small jade bottle.

Uncorked it. A fragrant scent immediately wafted out.

She poured some into the tea, reached for hot water, and gently brewed it.

The aroma spread instantly.

Yu Qingli: ........

Great. Just great. Wu Yishuang, you really went there.

I just said that—literally seconds ago—and you come in here to slap me in the face?!

Twice!! Back to back!!!

What next? You gonna roll out an imperial banquet?!

“Lord Lu Taishui, enjoy the tea. Earlier I saw some rabbits in the woods, and the kitchen has spices. I’ll catch a couple and roast them for you.”

Now this really made Lu Ding uncomfortable.

Back when he first picked Yan Feifan as a sidekick,

It was because working with another guy would make things easier.

If he’d picked a girl, there’d always be a layer of polite formality—

Either from him or from her. Totally normal.

But it wouldn’t have fit his fast-track development plan.

But now, this person was something else.

Too enthusiastic. He couldn’t handle it. No reserve at all.

Looking closely at Wu Yishuang—

From her looks, to the way she spoke, to everything else—

You really couldn’t fault her.

And that attitude? Absolute social terror.

Lu Ding couldn’t take it.

“No need, no need. It’s late. Don’t trouble yourself—we’re really not hungry.”

“Aiya, it’s no trouble at all. I’ll be quick. Qingli, you take care of them for now, alright?”

Before she finished, she was already halfway out the door.

Yu Qingli’s face darkened.

She turned back toward Lu Ding and Bai Hemen with a suddenly polite smile.

“Sirs, please make yourselves comfortable. I just need to grab something.”

Then she followed outside.

Caught up to Wu Yishuang, grabbed her collar, and dragged her to a dark corner.

Slammed her against a wall—

THUD!!

Straight-up kabedon.

“Talk. What the hell are you up to?!”

Wu Yishuang raised her phone, face excited.

“Duh! I’m grabbing a golden thigh!!!”

“I just looked them up—you have no idea how valuable these two are.”

“Let me put it this way—you ever heard of anyone getting a free pass for the Year-One Combat Trials?”

That line completely blew Yu Qingli’s mind.

‘Free pass’ and ‘Year-One Combat Trials’ sounded like they came from different worlds.

Hard to imagine them in the same sentence.

Yu Qingli grabbed the phone and scrolled through the files.

As more and more info appeared, her face lit up in surprise.

She exchanged a glance with Wu Yishuang.

The signal was locked in.

Yu Qingli said, “I saw wild pheasants and quail flying around the valley today. You go catch rabbits—I’ll grab those. Let’s meet back here.”

“Deal. I’ll prep the seasoning.”

Yu Qingli dove into the game. The two split up.

Meanwhile,

On the other side of the mountain—

Bai Baoce sat by a campfire,

Waiting for Bai Baoquan’s group to return.

But no one came back.

What he got instead was a message that spiked his blood pressure.

【Bro, we’re not coming back. Two heavy hitters from 749 showed up at the site. Super tough. We’re all kneeling here in a row.】

Bai Baoce’s grip on his phone tightened, then relaxed.

It was his phone—nobody else would care if it got crushed.

He let out a long, pissed-off exhale.

“Alright, alright. I wanna see just how tough they are—

To dare make my Bai Family kneel in a line!!!!”
