Chapter 315: Chapter 16 Iron Eater

Snow Forbidden City, Federation Building.

"Senior Brother Xiao Han... is it really necessary to make such a fuss over an S-rank who has been training for only half a year?"

In a meeting room with only two people, a young woman with long flowing hair was applying lipstick and doing her makeup in front of a mirror.

She didn’t lift her eyes at all, her gaze fixed on her own reflection in the mirror as she put on makeup and softly chuckled, "Although we are from different factions, we are both Transcendents from the Judgement Institute... Are you worried that he might steal your job in the future? Or perhaps, steal Zhu Wang’s job?"

Even though they appeared to be of similar age,

the woman spoke without holding back.

She directly mentioned the name of the second-ranked Judge in Changye.

One must know... the position of Grand Judge was quite controversial, and the impeachment controversies surrounding Zhou Jiren had emerged more than once, with rumors even saying that the Federation planned to add another Grand Judge position.

And Zhu Wang was the prime candidate for the new Grand Judge!

"Miss Bai Lu..."

Even more bizarrely, Han Dang was not at all annoyed but smiled gently, "Although Gu Shen is my fellow junior from the Institute, he is reserved and dislikes conflict. I do not want him to have too peaceful a time in Changye. There is always someone better, and there are heavens beyond our skies. If the Bai Family is willing to teach him this lesson, then I am willing to pay his tuition."

"You really are... a magnanimously generous and considerate benefactor."

Bai Lu narrowed her eyes and stared at her refreshed face in the mirror, unable to tell whether her words were a compliment or a sarcasm.

After quickly touching up her makeup, her originally simple and elegant face had become somewhat alluring.

Flicking her hair, large waves fell with the wind.

"After all, he is an S-rank... He might have less combat experience, but he still possesses significant overall strength. Is your estimate the fourth to fifth level of the deep water area?" Bai Lu spoke lightly.

"At most the fifth level of deep water area," Han Dang declared confidently. "The Bai Family has many combat geniuses; just any one of them would be enough to defeat him at the same level."

"That’s not easy though..." Bai Lu rubbed her fingers, somewhat troubled.

"I can increase the amount of money," Han Dang said with a slight smile, settling back comfortably.

Bai Lu shook her head.

"Tacky... too tacky... Does the Bai Family still need these commonplace things?"

"I offer three times the original amount,"

After thinking for a moment, Han Dang raised three fingers and quietly asked, "Miss Bai makes a good point, but after much consideration, the only things that could possibly interest the Bai Family on me must be these commonplace items... Surely no one would mind having too many of such items, especially since there are indeed ordinary people in the Bai Family, right?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Lu was slightly stunned.

The two exchanged a smile.

Everything was left unsaid.

"Then it’s settled,"

After finalizing the deal, Bai Lu put on her holographic glasses. Squinting her eyes, she caught sight of an interesting piece of news and chuckled softly, "Senior Brother Xiao Han, that junior brother Gu you care so much about... seems quite different from how you just described."

Han Dang slightly furrowed his brow.

He also put on his holographic glasses and connected spiritually to the deep water area forum.

All the Transcendents within the Snow Forbidden City were abuzz.

Everyone was discussing one piece of news... the newly arrived S-rank Gu Shen, on his very first day in Changye, had taken the initiative to challenge a peer-level genius from the prison’s Fourth Judge.

Han Dang noticed Bai Lu looking at him strangely.

You call this reserved?

...

...

Gu Shen had not anticipated that his challenge would attract so much attention.

The East Continent Federation had spent a huge sum of money to build numerous Extraordinary Cultivation Taoist Schools in the Snow Forbidden City, and each of the three institutions had its own dedicated Taoist School where different trainings could be conducted... and the chosen place for the challenge was inside the Fourth Judge’s Taoist School.

Lu Nanjin and Gu Nanfeng had both set out with Gu Shen towards the Taoist School.

No sooner had they arrived than about half an hour later, hundreds of onlookers flooded into the dojo.

"Judgement Institute, prison, command center... many people are here, including some ’very famous’ big shots."

The stir was too great; Fatty Luo was also alarmed.

But... the first piece of news Luo Yu got was that a group of uninvited guests were trying to forcefully enter the mansion complex.

This news had scared him out of his wits.

He set out the first chance he got, made a call, then halfway through, turned back and rushed to the dojo. Finally, he breathlessly reached the Young Master’s side, and seeing the Young Master safe and sound, he let out a big sigh of relief and quickly wiped the sweat from his cheeks, speaking quietly, "Young Master, are you planning to blow the roof off Snow Forbidden City?"

Fatty Luo could recognize the big shots who came to this dojo.

Many were "Judges," "Commanders," and "Judges," the mainstays of the three institutions, all prominent figures in Changye City!

Gu Nanfeng, holding a wooden sword, chuckled softly, "Take it easy; no one here has recognized me yet... Up to now, this situation has nothing to do with me."

He looked towards Gu Shen beside him.

"Brother Luo, sorry for the trouble."

Gu Shen quickly explained the whole situation, then smiled and said, "Who would have guessed that on such an early morning, people from the prison would come looking to trouble me... To fight or not to fight, it was a hard choice. Out of necessity, it had to be done this way."

Fatty Luo was slightly stunned.

After hearing this, he was quite embarrassed.

What do you mean "To fight or not to fight"... This S-rank’s character from the Judgement Institute was truly fierce; it had come to blows at the Fourth Judge’s dojo already, clearly a fight to the end!

After waiting a moment, Gu Shen was vaguely losing patience.
