Daily News: You promised yourself to be a fisherman, but you've become a martial arts god?

"Gentlemen!"

Yi Huan's solemn gaze swept across the entire room, and he gave a low shout.

The sound was infused with internal energy, and could be heard throughout the entire venue.

After everyone looked at Yi Huan, Yi Huan slightly turned to the man in brocade robes beside her and introduced him:

"This young master is a cousin of my Yi family, the young master of the Zongzheng clan."

"From now on, he will fill the vacant position of patrol officer in Team A!"

Zong Zhengyu strode forward, his arrogant expression sweeping over the crowd, and said:

"Yi Huan's introduction just now was inadequate, so let me introduce myself to you all in detail."

"My mother and the county magistrate are sisters. I just turned twenty this year and broke through to the Bone Refinement stage yesterday!"

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in astonishment.

They exclaimed in amazement at Zong Zhengyu's identity and talent.

Seeing everyone's praise, Zong Zhengyu was very satisfied. He raised his head even higher, his chin even more.

This is the effect he wanted.

Yi Huan frowned slightly, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes.

Although Zong Zhengyu worked under him, Zong Zhengyu's background was not as good as Zong Zhengyu's. In addition, his master asked him to take good care of Zong Zhengyu, so unless it was an important official matter, he could not interfere too much.

Seeing that it was about time, Yi Huan looked at the three people behind her and called out:

"Wang Jun, Yao Shan, Feng Li, Zhao Wu!"

"Your subordinate is here!"

"The four of you will accompany Inspector Zong to Team A!"

"yes!"

Because Shi Kui was a spy for the Zhang family, the guards initially assigned to him were implicated.

Although there was no evidence to suggest that the inspectors under Shi Kui had done anything wrong, all four were removed from their posts on Crescent Moon Island as a precaution.

"Fang Shi, Hong Xi!"

"Your subordinate is here!"

"You will each go to Team B and Team D respectively!"

"yes!"

"...Ruan Hanzhou!"

Yi Huan looked at the last man behind her.

The man, carrying a large, cloth-wrapped knife on his back, stepped forward and said:

"Your subordinate is here!"

Yi Huan nodded in satisfaction, but instead of making arrangements, she looked at where Li Nian was and said:

"Inspector Li, what do you think of this man?"

The island lord is consulting Li Nian!

Everyone present was shocked.

Ruan Hanzhou looked at Li Nian in surprise.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will be assigned to Li Nian's team.

Compared to the three inspectors, including Zong Zhengyu, Yi Huan only inquired about Li Nian, which shows that Li Nian's importance in Yi Huan's heart is self-evident!

Following a good boss is like riding the wind, achieving twice the results with half the effort!

Just as my sister said...

Now, it all depends on whether Li Nian wants him or not.

Beside him, Zong Zhengyu lowered his brows slightly, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes as he looked at Li Nian.

Li Nian ignored the stares of others, stood up, and cupped her hands in greeting:

"I will follow the adults' arrangements!"

"good!"

Yi Huan nodded, looked at Ruan Hanzhou, and said:

"From now on, you will serve in the C team under Inspector Li and obey all his orders."

"yes!"

Ruan Hanzhou clasped his hands in response, then walked to the table where Li Nian was, bowed his head, clasped his hands in return, and said solemnly:

"Your subordinate, Ruan Hanzhou, greets Your Excellency the Inspector!"

"Please sit down."

Li Nian nodded and pointed to the seat next to her.

Ruan Hanzhou removed the cloth-wrapped sword from his back and sat down. Li Nian glanced at him curiously.

The entire knife is about 1.2 meters long, and two characters are engraved on the handle.

Drinking blood.

The sword techniques are wide-ranging and powerful, requiring the user to be physically strong.

Li Nian looked at Ruan Hanzhou's hands, which were exposed through his sleeves. His wrists were muscular and strong, and his palms and the area between his thumb and forefinger were covered with thick calluses, showing that he had put in a lot of hard work.

This knife is not an ornament.

At this moment, Yi Huan, who was at the door, shouted:

"Let the feast begin!"

Everyone shouted and cheered.

The kitchen staff brought out bowls of prepared food and dishes, instantly creating a lively atmosphere.

As they ate, drank, and chatted, Zong Zhengyu swaggered over to the table where Li Nian was, crossed his arms, and looked down at her, saying:

"So you're the much-talked-about genius boy from Qinyun Martial Arts School, Li Nian. You are indeed quite good-looking; no wonder my two cousins ​​can't forget you."

"Speaking of which, the day my two cousins ​​were released from prison, I asked you to escort them. On the way, you encountered Liu Tanqi, the tenth leader of Shenyuan Village."

"Everyone else was injured, but you're the only one who's unharmed. That's truly surprising."

"May I ask Brother Li, from whom did you learn your skill in escaping? I would like to ask you for guidance."

That's it!

Li Nian suddenly realized.

He finally understood why this kid had harbored ill intentions towards him from the start. It turned out that Yi Jieyi and Yi Mingxi's affection for him had made this kid surnamed Zong jealous.

These sarcastic remarks are largely for this purpose, intended to embarrass him in front of everyone.

Just as he expected.

Ten days ago, Zong Zhengyu used the money from his sister's wedding to buy ten Blood Refining Pills from the Yi family and successfully broke through from the peak of Blood Refining to Bone Refining.

After breaking through to the Bone Refinement stage, he went to find his two beautiful cousins, Yi Jieyi and Yi Mingxi, whom he had been longing for, to try and impress them and, incidentally, to deepen their relationship.

However, as soon as the three met, the two cousins ​​kept mentioning another man in their conversations.

Li Nian!

How incredibly brave Li Nian was!

How handsome Li Nian is!

Li Nian's fingers are incredibly skillful...

In short, he's handsome, capable, and good in bed!

The seeds of jealousy began to sprout and grow in my heart.

He happened to hear that there was a vacancy for patrol officer on Crescent Moon Island, so he volunteered and used his bone-training skills to replace the original candidate. He then said goodbye to his family, packed his bags, and so on, which is why he was able to postpone his arrival on the island until now to take over Shi Kui's position.

The thought had settled, and Li Nian remained silent.

Why bother with things that are fabricated out of thin air?

Seeing his silence, Zong Zhengyu felt he had made the right point, leaving Li Nian speechless, so he pressed his advantage and said:

"Among the four inspectors on this Crescent Moon Island, you and I are both skilled in bone tempering. Since we are all here today, why don't we have a competition?"

"I'm sure everyone wants to see how our Yi family's advanced martial arts differ from those of a peasant from a small martial arts school like yours."

"Brother Li, what do you think?"

The voice carried an inner force, and everyone in the bustling room could hear it clearly.

Everyone fell silent and looked on.

Even a fool could tell that Zong Zhengyu was deliberately making things difficult for Li Nian.

The two men were of higher status than them, and no one dared to express their opinion, resulting in a momentary stalemate.

Cao An and the others at the same table wanted to stand up and say something nice for Li Nian.

At this moment, Li Nian spoke up:

"sit down!"

"The Inspector..."

"sit!"

"Yes."

Cao An and the others sat down, feeling indignant.

Li Nian didn't even lift her eyelids, picked up a piece of roasted peanuts from the bowl and put it in her mouth.

His tone was calm, without a trace of anger, as he slowly chewed on peanuts and said to Zong Zhengyu:

"One's origins are never a measure of strength. A prestigious martial arts school may not be invincible, and what one learns at a martial arts school may not be easily defeated."

"The fact that you said these words shows that you have a narrow mind and only know how to judge people by their social status."

"You are not worthy to be my opponent!"
