Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five.

Seeing Tian Jinzhong's surprised expression, Gong Qing smiled with satisfaction and then began to show off.

After three years of patient waiting, he had deduced from some clues that Tian Jinzhong knew a lot of inside information about the Jia Shen Rebellion.

Seeing the gradually changing expression on Tian Jinzhong's face, Gong Qing knew that his guess was correct, which made him even more excited.

Three years.

Do you know how he spent those three years as a grandson in the Celestial Master's Mansion?!

All the patience and forbearance were for this moment to enjoy the fruits of victory!

Tuk-tuk-tuk——

Before he could even savor his victory, there was a sudden knock on the door.

This startled Gong Qing, who was still putting on airs. Then he saw a young man wearing a Nadutong uniform carrying a black bag walk in.

Seeing the situation before him, the man nodded in satisfaction.

"Well, not bad, I made it."

"you are?"

Neither Gong Qing nor Tian Jinzhong expected that someone would be able to come to this remote place at this critical juncture.

"Don't worry about me, I'm just a passing employee of NaDuTong."

Zhou Fengliu smiled and spoke, then looked at Tian Jinzhong's aged face:

"Senior Tian, ​​this place is hard to find. If it weren't for Zhang Lingyu providing the location, I really wouldn't have been able to find it in a while."

"How...how did you end up here?" Gong Qing frowned. He had never expected that a company employee would come here.

"Of course, it was arranged by higher-ups." Zhou Fengliu attributed his presence here to company arrangements:

"Fourth Brother said! The Quanxing's blatant attack on the mountain must be a feint! The real main attack is coming from the group on the mountain..."

"Sure enough, I caught the dog."

Zhou Fengliu looked at the short Gong Qing in front of him. How should I put it? This acting leader of Quanxing is still in a rather pitiful state.

It was already quite difficult to endure in the Celestial Master's Mansion for so long. Just when they were about to enjoy the fruits of victory, they ran into him... making all that big fuss turn into a complete waste.

"Gong Qing, right? The acting leader of Quanxing Sect, right? Today I've come to test your strength as the leader of Quanxing Sect."

Seeing that Zhou Fengliu was about to make a move, Gong Qing knew he was no match for him and unconsciously took two steps back.

“I am not good at fighting... Let's have a battle of wits. If I win, you can let me go... If you lose, you can hand over Old Master Tian to me.”

Hearing Gong Qing's demand for a verbal duel, Zhou Fengliu smiled, then flashed in front of Gong Qing and delivered a sudden, powerful slap, sending Gong Qing flying through the door.

However, Gong Qing had not flown too far before he was caught in mid-air by the air currents he was manipulating.

"What talk of intellectual and physical contests... Do you think this is a martial arts competition? The Luo Tian Grand Ceremony is already over..."

...

Gong Qing never expected Zhou Fengliu to act so quickly.

He wasn't good at fighting; he was better at strategy and planning behind the scenes to control the overall situation.

But who would have thought that his three-year plan, which was proceeding smoothly, would be ruined at the crucial moment by a reckless and unethical man who barged in and disrupted the key part of the scheme?

...

P.S.: I'm begging for everything, please begging for everything. Goodnight, godfathers~

Chapter 102 Failure is a constant throughout life... (First Update)

I am Gong Qing.

I'm about to start lying... no, I'm about to start a monologue.

As the acting leader of Quanxing, I only seek to know how the Eight Extraordinary Techniques came about and the inside story of the Jia Shen Rebellion. This is the truth that the entire Quanxing wants to find.

In order to understand this past event, we decided to start with the still-living predecessor, Zhang Huaiyi. This disciple of the Celestial Master's Mansion, who was involved in the Jia Shen Rebellion and possessed the Eight Extraordinary Skills, was a good choice.

However, since the predecessors of Quanxing had suffered losses at the hands of Zhang Huaiyi, I could only choose to infiltrate the Celestial Master's Mansion, which was associated with Zhang Huaiyi, to find clues.

While searching for clues, I had Quanxing search for Zhang Huaiyi everywhere. Unfortunately, Zhang Huaiyi had been dead for a long time, and only his bones remained.

It was difficult to get information from Zhang Huaiyi, so I could only place my hopes on the Celestial Master's Mansion.

After three years of patience, I finally found some clues. Based on these clues, I deduced that Tian Jinzhong of the Celestial Master's Mansion knew the inside story, and it was a big secret.

To this end, I risked my life to orchestrate a scene of the Quanxing attacking Longhu Mountain as a cover, which helped me extract the information I wanted from Tian Jinzhong's memories.

Everything... should have been under my control, and everything... was proceeding smoothly according to plan.

But... when I saw that young man who could beat anyone in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, all my plans seemed to be falling apart.

I admit, he's very skilled in combat. He killed Gao Ning... and bullied a bunch of extraordinary individuals and juniors from various sects. In my plan, although he's a good fighter, he should never have appeared in Tian Jinzhong's room...

These two people had absolutely no connection whatsoever, and no ties whatsoever, yet he still appeared at the most crucial moment of my plan.

I can't figure out where things went wrong.

Perhaps someone is acting against me?

Perhaps there's a traitor among us? Who leaked the secret?

I have no idea...

I might die.

I'm so unwilling to accept this. I've planned for so long... I've staked everything on this, and this is the result.

I hate myself so much... I hate myself for being careless and not arranging for someone to keep him in check.

If that young man hadn't disrupted this crucial step, I would have been the winner, and I would have been able to learn more about the Jia Shen Rebellion.

But what's the use of saying this now?

I played the role of someone's grandson for three years without being discovered by the Celestial Master's Mansion, but I ended up here.

Maybe... this is fate; heaven is not on my side.

...

Gong Qing shook his head, the ringing in his ears lingering for a long time before disappearing. He seemed to have only a vague recollection of the fight Zhou Fengliu had just given him.

He tried to move, but found himself gripped by an invisible current, unable to move at all.

...

"Holy crap... the sect leader is finished?"

Lu Liang, who was waiting in the woods for Gong Qing to give orders, happened to see Gong Qing floating in mid-air. Disguised as a member of the Celestial Master's Mansion, he quietly peeked inside.

The moment he saw Zhou Fengliu's figure, he pulled his head back and went down the mountain without hesitation, without lingering for even a moment.

They completely disregarded Gong Qing's life or death.

save?

How to save?

The guy on the other side is a ruthless person who killed Gao Ning while carrying three of Quanxing's most powerful warriors... Why wouldn't he run away?

...

As he was running away, Zhou Fengliu slowly walked out of the house. Looking at Gong Qing, who was being controlled by the air currents, Zhou Fengliu said that he had completed his biggest task for the night.

"You win," Gong Qing said, looking down at Zhou Fengliu with disheveled hair.

"What did you win?"

"You easily ruined my three-year plan. Isn't that a victory?" Gong Qing said expressionlessly, his face devoid of any emotion.

"I...didn't do anything."

"You didn't do anything... but you ruined the most crucial part... you ruined the climax. Three years! Do you know how I've spent these three years?"

"I've endured so much for this day, I've given it my all... I've gambled everything, and this is the result..."

"If you were me... how would you feel?" Gong Qing asked.

"Me?" Zhou Fengliu considered the situation from the other person's perspective after hearing this.

If he were Gong Qing... he'd probably want to kill this handsome guy who ruined everything, since his long-planned scheme was destroyed in a flash by a transmigrator with cheat codes.

This feeling is like you've worked diligently and conscientiously for ten years, and finally, through your own efforts, you've earned a promotion opportunity.

You were full of anticipation, thinking you would get a promotion and a raise and reach the pinnacle of your life, but before you even started your job, you were replaced by a wealthy young man with connections who was parachuted in from above.

All efforts have been in vain, and all dreams of a better life have become empty talk...

As Zhou Fengliu thought about it... he felt like he was the villain, the person he hated most, who had ruined Gong Qing's dream.

"There's nothing I can do, it's all work. You give everything for your dreams, and I give everything for my livelihood... You can't criticize me from a moral high ground."

After putting himself in the other person's shoes, Zhou Fengliu seemed to have some feelings about it. He seemed to be thinking about his life as a beast of burden before he transmigrated, and calmly continued:

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, failure is a constant throughout life. That's life, there's not much to say. This world is quite realistic; not all efforts and sacrifices will be rewarded."

Gong Qing fell silent upon hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, unable to refute Zhou Fengliu's statement that "failure is a constant throughout life."
