Therefore, Xu Le will not cure Chen Duo until he has squeezed all her value out of her! If he waits until she has no value left and Xu Le is in a good mood, he will consider curing her and turning her into an ordinary person.
After considering it for a moment, Xu Le decided that he could have the board of directors send Chen Duo over first so that they could start studying the matter sooner.
Xu Le continued reading, and the second thing was the origin of this comic: the tomb of Zhang Huaiyi, one of the 36 thieves, who later changed his name to Zhang Xilin, was dug up.
This wasn't something the board of directors said; it was a message Xu Xiang gave to Xu Le.
Back then, in order for Zhang Chulan to grow up safely, Zhang Huaiyi deliberately exposed his whereabouts, lured out the remnants of the Jia Shen rebellion, killed them one by one, and finally died in the forest when he was exhausted.
At the end of his life, Zhang Huaiyi encountered Feng Baobao, who had come to investigate, in the woods. He recognized Feng Baobao's identity and begged her to kill him. After his death, he took care of Zhang Chulan, who was still a child at the time.
Therefore, Zhang Chulan has been growing up under the supervision of Xu Xiang and others for the past ten years, and Feng Baobao has been watching Zhang Chulan grow up.
This incident illustrates a point: the main characters all rely on their fathers' or grandfathers' connections.
You might think Naruto's story of struggling alone is inspiring, but you should know that his father was the Fourth Hokage, who also sealed the Nine-Tails for him as a cheat code.
Although the Third Hokage did not reveal his identity, he did send people to protect him in secret. However, it was a bit unfair that he was subjected to the contempt of the villagers. Fortunately, Naruto did not hold grudges, otherwise the story would have been rewritten.
Luffy wants to become the Pirate King, which is a very inspiring dream, right? But you should know that Shanks had high hopes for him since he was a child. His father is the leader of the Revolutionary Army, his grandfather is Garp, and even his sworn brothers are Roger's son and a Revolutionary Army officer. Basically, every time he is in mortal danger, someone comes to his rescue.
Therefore, truly grassroots protagonists are relatively rare. Even Nobita's descendants sent Doraemon to the past to help him.
So what are you waiting for? Quickly send money to the Mysterious Immortal to learn the art of cultivation. For just 5,000 yuan, you can become the urban protagonist who marries a beautiful and wealthy woman and reaches the pinnacle of life!
Okay, that's all off-topic!
Xu Le glanced at the description in the document. Xu Xiang had received news that Zhang Chulan's grandfather's grave had been dug up and the body stolen, causing a sensation in the local area. However, it was unknown who did it. Since Zhang Huaiyi's identity could not be exposed, after all, Qi Body Source Flow was one of the Eight Techniques, it was inevitable that it would attract some people with ulterior motives. With Zhang Chulan's current strength, he was no match for those ambitious individuals.
Xu Le was also a little surprised. He thought that intercepting Liu Yanyan halfway would prevent the grave-digging incident from happening, but he didn't expect the inertia of the world to be so strong. The plot happened again. It seems that the Quanxing group took action on their own.
This is just a piece of news, not a mission. Xu Le already knows who did it, so he naturally has no interest in caring. As for those guys from Quanxing, he'll meet them in the future.
As for the last piece of news, it was not beyond Xu Le's expectations: the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony was about to be held, and the board of directors demanded that Xu Le win the championship and obtain the Old Celestial Master's inheritance.
The Old Celestial Master is the only one capable of confronting or even defeating Xu Le, who doesn't use talismans. Zhang Zhiwei, the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, has mastered even the ordinary Golden Light Mantra to an unparalleled level, making him indestructible, not to mention his thunder magic and other secret techniques of Longhu Mountain. His strength should not be underestimated.
One of Xu Le's main targets in this plan is Zhang Zhiwei. Sometimes, working in isolation leads to no progress; one can only grow stronger by battling against stronger opponents and constantly learning from experience in battle.
Zhang Zhiwei is highly talented and could achieve great things even in a higher world. Therefore, Xu Le plans to cultivate some secret manuals and then fight against this legendary number one superhuman.
Xu Le wasn't interested in the old Celestial Master's legacy, but he was very interested in Lu Jin's Heavenly Talisman, since Lu Jin was going to offer this method as the first prize.
The Tongtian Fulu can turn all things into talismans, and release these powers through the talismans. More importantly, this secret technique does not require materials and can draw talismans in the air.
This ability is rare even in higher worlds, yet it exists in this world, and it's not difficult to learn; it's an extremely practical method.
Xu Le closed the document and tossed it to Xu San, carefully considering the pros and cons. The matter of the Gu child wasn't urgent, since no one but him could cure Chen Duo. However, he absolutely had to participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, and his goal was first place; the prizes were indeed quite good.
Xu Le remained calm, his deep gaze revealing nothing of his inner thoughts.
After a moment's thought, Xu Le stood up, stared at Xu San with an icy gaze, and said calmly, "Chen Duo can be sent over, but you tell the board not to play these tricks on me. If you want something, exchange it for something I'm interested in. I really like equal exchange. But if you try to play tricks on me, don't blame me for flipping the table."
Xu Le's voice was soft and his tone was even, as if he were chatting about everyday things.
But the pressure was immense. Xu San, facing Xu Le, began to sweat, and each heartbeat felt heavier than before.
He felt as if he were facing not a strange person who had just come from a mountain to cultivate, but an emperor who held the power of life and death over countless people.
When the emperor is enraged, millions will die!
Although Xu Le was not an emperor, he held a much higher status than an emperor in the ancient world. He spread martial arts and was revered by thousands. He killed tens of thousands of people on the battlefield, which changed his mentality. Over time, his aura gradually took shape.
After making his stance clear, Xu Le glanced at Xu San, who was covered in sweat, and disappeared into the office as a shadow. This was the first test. If he didn't show a tough stance, these guys would think he was easy to bully, and the subsequent tests would become more and more excessive. In the end, there were only two possible outcomes: Xu Le would kill them all, or Xu Le would be captured by them.
Based on the comparison of strength, the only possible outcome is the first one. However, since the board of directors has the country as its backer, although he is not afraid, there is no need for conflict. If they act recklessly, Xu Le would not mind destroying this world. In any case, there are countless worlds with value, and Xu Le does not care about one or two worlds.
In the office, Xu San took out a napkin to wipe away the sweat from the pressure he was under from Xu Le. He rolled his eyes helplessly and said, "Why am I always the one who takes the blame? It's clearly those guys on the board who are doing this. They make me live in fear every time. It's infuriating. Next time, Xu Si, you do this kind of thing."
Xu Si was still teaching Feng Baobao some lewd knowledge when he heard this. He shuddered and thought about the consequences if he were the one saying it...
Xu Si shook his head and said in an exaggerated tone, "You want a next time? Didn't you see that guy already warned us? You should relay his words to the board of directors."
Let the board of directors deal with this headache themselves. We're just employees anyway, and besides, I haven't even settled accounts with them for putting my father through this much trouble."
After speaking, Xu Si's expression turned gloomy. There were some things he didn't say, after all, walls have ears, and it wouldn't be good if they got back to the old guys on the board of directors.
"Baby, I'm leaving now. Remember what I said!"
Xu Si said goodbye to Feng Baobao, who was sitting on the sofa eating, put his hands in his pockets, shrugged, strode out, and had a cigarette in his mouth, looking just like a local thug.
Xu San was even more troubled by Xu Si's appearance. If Xu Si didn't know martial arts, he would be beaten up on the street, at least four times a day.
Feng Baobao, standing to the side, gave Xu Si a thumbs-up as he left. Xu San felt exhausted, realizing he hadn't had a vacation in ages and should probably rest for a few days...

Please take a look.
This is the first time I've written about other things in the main text. Today I recommended a movie called "Twenty Two". Some comments said that I was profiting and gaining success in this way, and that making this kind of documentary would only make these elderly people internet celebrities to gain sympathy. I just want to say that's bullshit. They are not a disgrace. They are victims of war. We need to care for and love them.
As for your dissatisfaction with the government, I really don't understand. What does the country owe you? I think our country is already very good. The social environment is stable and the economy is developed. I am already very satisfied. Stop thinking about war all day long. You are just talking the talk, but once war breaks out, the first to be hurt are the soldiers and their families.
It's true that I write dark stories, but that's just a way to release my negative emotions and share a story with more people, bringing them joy.
I'm not a good person, nor a bad person, just an average person. But at least I've done community service and donated to charity, though not much, but I did it. And you? Besides venting your dissatisfaction, what have you done? Let me just say this: if you don't like this country, work hard to earn money and immigrate. No one will try to stop you.
I know that saying this today might cause me to lose followers or get criticized, but I'm not afraid. Sometimes people need to have a bottom line, and sometimes you have to say what needs to be said.
