"… That bastard Liu?"
Liu Xiaojiang listened to the bastard behind him calling him a bastard. Even though his identity might be exposed, he almost couldn't resist the urge to turn around and beat the blonde up.
However, considering the current situation, he finally chose to endure it for the time being. He planned to find a chance to take revenge on Wang Zhenqiu in the future.
"Yes, yes, yes, that guy's full name is Liu Xiaojiang. He's really a bastard," Wang Zhenqiu said with a grin.
"Liu Zhenren …" Liu Xiaojiang's fingers twitched as he said, "Liu Zhenren …"
"I have some impression of this person. Although he has been removed from Mount Longhu, he should still be in contact with the people of the Righteous Faction. The Through Heaven Talisman … is also with him."
"Eh … you don't know him?" Wang Zhenqiu stared at Liu Xiaojiang's every move, but didn't find anything unusual about him. He couldn't help but be surprised.
"I thought his Kung Fu that turned his fingernails black was taught to him by you, the new All-Rounded Sect Leader …"
"After all, apart from Tang Zhong, I've never seen a Kung Fu that was similar to it. I thought I finally found someone who could make him suffer …"
"That's a pity," Liu Xiaojiang said without turning his head.
"I've only heard of him, but I've never had the chance to meet him. Why … you're all from the company, so you want to introduce me to him?"
"Uh …" Wang Zhenqiu didn't expect Liu Xiaojiang to say this. His suspicion instantly disappeared by half.
"Forget it. After all, I'm from the company, and Mr. Ying is from the All-Rounded Sect. Introducing someone from the company to the All-Rounded Sect … I don't want to be remembered by the company's top management."
If it was really Liu Xiaojiang himself, how could he be so stupid as to dig a hole and bury him when he hadn't even made such a request?
"Since you're not going to introduce me to Liu Zhenren, then … is there anything else?" Liu Xiaojiang pretended to be calm.
"Mr. Ying, you're different from the others. You're a very sensible person, so I won't beat around the bush with you. The Tang Sect's Dan Devourer can be used … but Senior Xu Xin can't be touched." Wang Zhenqiu's joking attitude immediately changed.
"Oh? Are you teaching me how to do things? "Liu Xiaojiang turned around to look at Wang Zhenqiu, the eyes under the mask flashing with a clear cold light.
"No, no, no … I wouldn't dare." Wang Zhenqiu raised his hands and smiled apologetically. "How would I dare to instruct a big shot like you?"
"But …"
Speaking of this, he slowly put down his hands and said seriously, "I'm just trying to remind you that no matter what your thoughts are, at least for now, your attitude towards Danshi is almost the same as the company."
"Inhumans can exist, and they can have legacies, but there must be a limit. Things like the Eight Wondrous Skills … and the Pill Devour, which is similar to them, can only be used to create chaos in the current world. The benefits they bring are far less than the hidden dangers they bring to society."
"So …"
"The higher-ups also think that the Eight Wondrous Skills should remain the same. At the very least, they won't cause too much trouble in the hands of the people in the company who know about them."
"However, there will always be people investigating what happened back then. There will always be people who desire the so-called Eight Marvelous Skills. Currently, not all of the Eight Marvelous Skills are known in the world. No one knows whether the other skills have been lost or who has obtained them. This situation makes it very difficult for people to feel at ease."
"The higher-ups?" Liu Xiaojiang slowly frowned. He looked at Wang Zhenqiu, who seemed a little strange today.
"What are you trying to say?"
"Attitude …" Wang Zhenqiu said, "Due to some recent events, the higher-ups' attitude towards the Eight Wondrous Skills has changed from inaction to maintaining the status quo as much as possible … to a more aggressive attitude."
"But, even so, with the company involved, the higher-ups can't be too extreme. For the time being, they can only make one thing clear …"
"No matter who has the unknown Eight Wondrous Skills, no matter if there is a possibility of chaos in the future, no matter if the whereabouts of the Eight Wondrous Skills are known or whether they can be controlled, the Eight Wondrous Skills and similar things … must be completely abandoned by this generation of mutants."
"What's with the problem with Danshi and Xu Xin?" Liu Xiaojiang frowned even more.
"This is the result of the negotiation between the company and the higher-ups," Wang Zhenqiu said helplessly.
"Although the company is on the side of ordinary people, most of them are still people in the circle. We don't want to make things too tense, so we tried our best to negotiate with the higher-ups. At the very least, we have to make the higher-ups give up on the radical idea of targeting the mutants."
"The problem with the Tang Sect's Danshi is not only a test from the higher-ups for the mutants, but also a confirmation of the company's ability."
"After all, you said that you want to choose a gentler way to deal with the problem, so you have to prove to me that you have the ability to solve the problem. Otherwise … everything will be just empty talk."
"If we can't solve the problem with Danshi this time, or rely on the person who caused the problem … to solve the problem in the end, it means that the company has no ability to solve the problem in a gentler way. After that, we will no longer have the right to bargain with the higher-ups about this matter."
"So …" After Liu Xiaojiang learned about this matter, he calmed himself down and asked, "What do you think I should believe?
"Why should I believe what you said? Besides, even if it's true … what has it got to do with me?"
This matter happened too suddenly, and the consequences might be very serious. However, Zhao Fangxu didn't talk to him about this matter. The sudden change … would only make him feel strange.
After all, before this, the company was fully responsible for all kinds of matters regarding the Inhumans. Basically, it was equivalent to a kind of hands-off shopkeeper. If the problem wasn't serious enough, no one would participate, so much so that they didn't even bother to ask.
As a result …
The company had just suffered a little blow from the Bi You Village incident, and the higher-ups suddenly made such a radical decision that was completely different from usual.
Were they dissatisfied with the company's efficiency recently?
Or …
"Mr. Ying, you're treating me like an outsider. We're all involved in this circle." Wang Zhenqiu shook his head and sighed.
"Even if our thoughts and ideas are different, we can still be considered as' one of us'. The company has never looked at the overall situation with prejudice …"
"Do you really want to watch the common living environment of everyone in this world be suddenly narrowed down again because of the radical attitude of the higher-ups?"
"… Why did you come to me?" Liu Xiaojiang stared straight at Wang Zhenqiu.
"Well … it's just some of my own ideas." Wang Zhenqiu took out his mobile phone from his pocket and said,
"Just last night, I suddenly received a call from my boss. He said that he wanted us, who happened to be in the Tang Sect, to complete this task. I reckon that Zhang Chulan and Bao 'er should have received the notice …"
"Mr. Ying, you also know that since we have to use gentle means to deal with the problem of Danshi, as long as we don't have absolute power, the impact of the number of people can only be minimal. The company simply doesn't have the intention of sending anyone else over."
"Me, Zhang Chulan, Bao 'er, even if we include Perfected Lingyu and the two pieces of material from the Lu family, if we want to cut off the Danshi inheritance in a peaceful way without touching Senior Xu Xin … This is simply asking for too much!"
"So …"
At this point …
Wang Zhenqiu scratched the back of his head with a rare embarrassment and said, "I thought of you, a big shot who clearly has absolute power, but did not use it to force the Tang Sect to give up Danshi."
Zhang Chulan and Feng Bao Bao should have also received the notice?
This matter was actually true?
"What's the use of looking for me in this situation?" Liu Xiaojiang shook his head.
"If you had said earlier and stopped Tang Miaoxing, there might have been a chance in this matter. Now … how can we peacefully solve the problem of Danshi?"
"There's indeed no way." Wang Zhenqiu did not deny this, but he suddenly changed the topic and said with a smile,
"Mr. Ying, I heard what you said to Lord Zhang just now. I also understand that it's impossible to let the 'sensible' Lord Zhang replace Senior Xu Xin."
"However, since there's no way to use gentle means to solve the problem, why don't we try a method that only looks gentle on the surface?"
"You have to know that those people above are just ordinary people. If it's something that even the mutants can't see through, how can they see through the tricks?"
Hearing this …
Liu Xiaojiang seemed to have thought of something, and a strange look flashed across his eyes. "You're talking about the Lu family's Soul Cleansing Spell … That kid Lu Liang?"
"If you don't kill Senior Xu Xin and don't touch anyone from the Tang Sect, and if you want to use gentle methods to end Dan Shi's legacy now that the Old Sect Master has passed away … that's impossible." Wang Zhenqiu didn't directly respond to the question.
"However, since there's a suitable candidate who has the ability to erase all traces of Danshi's legacy without killing Senior Xu Xin, and without touching anyone in the Tang Sect … Isn't this a blessing from the heavens?"
After hearing these words personally and confirming Wang Zhenqiu's thoughts, Liu Xiaojiang could not help but fall silent.
Seeing this …
Wang Zhenqiu was not in a hurry. He patiently waited for Liu Xiaojiang's reply, and his eyes were still constantly looking up and down. This new all-rounded sect leader with a mask seemed to want to confirm the other party's true identity.
A few minutes later …
"Although this is a way, it's too much …"
Liu Xiaojiang slowly raised his head to look at Wang Zhenqiu, but after saying that, he suddenly shook his head and said,
"Forget it, let me think about it first …"
As soon as he finished speaking …
He turned around and left in front of Wang Zhenqiu, leaving this unfamiliar acquaintance with a relatively unfamiliar back …
