Chapter 773: Chapter 140: Reunion

Facing Wu Tianyan’s inquiry, Secretary Sun’s face showed a trace of bitterness: "I also don’t know..."

"Hey."

At this moment, the long-faced elder, Old Qi, leaned back in his chair, looking as if he were enjoying a good show: "Why do you think she isn’t in the laboratory, causing such a big fuss? You don’t think everyone else is a fool, do you?"

The anger on Wu Tianyan’s face slowly faded, and he rubbed his temples in pain: "Tell her to go back first, we can discuss everything else later."

Secretary Sun gave a bitter smile: "Professor Chen said if you don’t see her, she won’t leave. Whoever wants to take over the new drug research can do so; she no longer cares..."

"This girl..." Wu Tianyan helplessly looked at Old Lady Tang: "Sister Tang, won’t you manage your grandniece?"

Old Lady Tang covered her mouth and chuckled lightly: "I really can’t manage her. That girl has been strong-willed since she was young. I tried to find her a husband recently, do you know what she said?"

"She told people whoever talked to her about marriage should go get married themselves."

The few elders in the conference hall couldn’t help but laugh, and the old general stroked his beard: "This girl is really something, Old Wu, we’re free for the time being anyway, why not meet with her?"

Wu Tianyan sighed: "Then let’s meet her."

Tap tap tap!

Shortly after, the clacking of high heels echoed in the spacious corridor outside the conference room, and from the rhythm of the steps, one could tell that the person’s mood might not be very good.

The conference hall door was pushed open, and the elderly council members looked up to see Chen Yixin walking in, dressed in a white coat with her hands in her pockets.

Old Lady Tang waved cheerfully: "Yixin is here, come and sit."

Chen Yixin nodded slightly as a greeting: "Grandma, I’m not here for you."

Then she looked at Wu Tianyan at the head of the table and walked straight toward him: "Old Wu, were those news stories your idea?"

Wu Tianyan’s lips twitched, and a faint smile appeared on his face: "Professor Chen, why not sit down and talk?"

Chen Yixin shook her head, her glasses reflecting a white light: "I’m not very good at speaking, and there isn’t much to talk about. I just want to ask if those news stories were your idea, and why?"

Her attitude upset some people, and an old man exclaimed: "Professor Chen, as a scientific researcher, you should just do your job well..."

"Hey~" Old Qi quickly interrupted him: "That’s not right. We never voted to sensationalize the news. Our council is called the Council because it embodies the principle of ’listening broadly brings clear understanding’. How can we forbid someone from speaking?"

Although everyone knew Old Qi was looking to see Wu Tianyan make a fool of himself, his points were indeed valid, and no one else had much to say.

Wu Tianyan looked at Chen Yixin calmly and said softly: "I know you’re dissatisfied and I can understand your feelings. I shouldn’t say too much at this point, but what I can tell you is, as long as you can quickly produce results in your research, I guarantee that Shao Zifeng won’t have any problems."

Chen Yixin and he looked at each other for a while, then she nodded slightly: "I understand."

"Sorry to have disturbed everyone, I will go back now."

After saying that, Chen Yixin left the conference room without looking back, her high heels clicking on the floor.

Because he understood the implication in Wu Tianyan’s words, if Daxia were completely lost, nobody in Daxia could possibly stand alone. At that time, from an individual perspective, wealth, reputation, and even life itself would have no meaning.

After Chen Yixin left, Wu Tianyan sighed quietly: "Regardless, this was indeed my own stubborn decision. Little Sun, call Shao Zifeng later."

Secretary Sun nodded: "Yes, Old Wu."

...

"Ssssah!"

The Whale Horn Blade in Shao Zifeng’s hands slashed across the neck of the monster, then he flipped his wrist and the gleaming blade pierced backward along his ribcage.

Thud!

The monster, with its claws raised high, froze, the blade buried in its chest sending out bone-chilling cold as a large patch of frost spread across its body.

"Roar!"

A column of fire exploded not far from him, and dozens of monsters screamed as they were blown about in mid-air and turned to ash.

After giving a thumbs up to Qiuqiu in the sky, Shao Zifeng twirled his knife and gripped it with both hands, charging at the nearest monster.

What he didn’t know was that his every move was being captured by a camera and streamed live on the internet.

"Wow wow wow, Duke is so cool, with a flick of his knife, he downs one after another, truly my idol."

"Fire Dragon King, Fire Dragon King, why isn’t my Fire Dragon King Card this powerful!"

"The Rock Dragon King is impressive too, I really envy the Duke’s two beasts."

"Goodness, this Rock Dragon King has evolved again, what’s with those forelimbs?"

"Just waiting for the game to be optimized, hehehe..."

Atop the mountain, Casar watched the figure weaving through the crowd of monsters, as memories of his early years surfaced before his eyes.

He wrapped his arm around the young girl, pointing in Shao Zifeng’s direction, "Look, that’s my captain, back then..."

"He took good care of you back then," the girl rolled her eyes and muttered, "You’ve almost told me a thousand times. You’re not nearly as attentive to me."

Casar scratched his head with a silly smile, "When it’s safe later, I... I’ll introduce you to the captain, hehe."

"And then, that..."

"Silly," the girl’s large eyes curved like crescents. She smoothed the wrinkles on Casar’s chest, "Go if you want to. I’ll wait here for you. You... must be careful."

Casar hugged the girl tightly, waved at Snow Feather Blademan, and leapt down the hillside.

"Charge!"

Snow Feather Blademan dashed out like lightning, catching Casar and heading towards the battlefield below.

Clang!

Shao Zifeng parried to the side, using his sheathed sword to block the monster’s claws while the Whale Horn Blade pinned another monster against the rock.

"Screech!"

The other monster screamed frantically, swiping its claws towards his head.

Shao Zifeng’s crystal-like pupils sparkled, he ducked and drew the short sword strapped to his leg, and plunged into the monster’s embrace.

Thud.

The monster’s body stiffened. Shao Zifeng backed off a few steps, withdrawing the short sword from its chest.

Having done all this, Shao Zifeng’s chest heaved rapidly.

He shook his sore arm; in his fury, he hadn’t noticed that he had ventured deep into the enemy lines.

"Roar!"

Qiuqiu breathed fire as it flew over the mountains, leaving a sea of flames below.

Due to the rugged terrain, the monsters here were widely scattered. Yaya and Qiuqiu, aiming to inflict maximum damage, had to look for clusters of monsters, which made them drift further apart.

At that moment, Shao Zifeng suddenly felt a chill at his back, and he quickly raised his sword to block!

Clang!

A Giant Power struck, numbing Shao Zifeng’s body and forcing him to stagger back several steps.

He looked up to see a slender-bodied monster clinging to the rock wall like a spider, its cold eyes fixed on him.

"Hiss..."

Rustle, rustle!

Just as the monster prepared to attack, a bone-chilling wind swept through, and dozens of Ice Spurs shot towards the monster like lightning.

"Captain!!"

Surprised, Shao Zifeng turned around, only to see a youth dressed in ethnic attire, his dark skin adorned with highland rouge and robust physique, smiling at him, his white teeth glaringly bright.

"Haha." The robust youth spread his arms, "Captain, long time no see."

Shao Zifeng stepped back to dodge the enthusiastic embrace, "Who are you, do we know each other?"

Casar’s smile froze, he opened his mouth and finally managed to say, "So should I leave?"
