After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

However, this period of confusion did not last long, as several black dots flew in from the sky not far away.

Bai Yuan, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, said excitedly.

"They're here, they're here. It seems Miss Wu has found quite a few good things and has called for support from headquarters."

A colleague surnamed Wang asked curiously.

"Is this Fengyang Village suppressing a demigod-level awakened being? Otherwise, why would Miss Wu need to call for help?"

Bai Yuan replied.

"Who knows? But luckily, since Miss Wu called for backup, things will be easier for us from now on."

Now that we've called for backup, we should leave the rest to them. No, we don't need to get involved in these things ourselves.

The black dot flying from the distance in the sky grew larger and clearer until it reached the top of Fengyang Village. Five parachutes exploded in mid-air, carrying five figures down from the sky.

Bai Yuan and his colleague surnamed Wang stared at the five falling black shadows.

Bai Yuan spoke first.

"I saw Lin'an like..."

A colleague surnamed Wang provided the answer.

"I saw Bai Rusu, amazing! There are two demigods among them. What did Wu Shanfu discover in Fengyang Village? So many high-ranking officials who aren't even from our program team are here. I'm afraid what they discovered could destroy a state."

Zhou Yan, who was watching the show from the sidelines, rubbed his eyes and prepared to squint to watch, but as soon as he raised his head, he felt a pain in the back of his head, followed by the sound of a pebble falling to the ground.

Zhou Yan looked down and saw a pebble bouncing beside his leg.

Someone threw a stone at themselves? (Qi)

Zhou Yan's head began to rotate 360 ​​degrees. When it had rotated 78 degrees, Zhou Yan saw a little girl in tattered clothes with cotton showing, standing behind a tree, constantly giving him glances.

Little Yama!?

Zhou Yan looked back at Bai Yuan and his colleague surnamed Wang in front of him. The two of them were probably too impressed by the luxurious members of the rescue team, and were pointing at the descending parachutes, paying no attention to him behind them.

Zhou Yan carefully retreated, and when he was far enough away, he quickly disappeared behind the tree where Little Yama was.

As soon as Zhou Yan approached Little Yama, he immediately picked him up, shielding him with his own body before speaking. *Hiss*

"Brother Yan? Where did you go before?"

The little Yama, who was being held by Zhou Yan, smiled wryly.

"I woke up on a deserted mountain. I ran back along the road and found that my parents were dead. My uncle had abandoned me to starve to death in the mountains in order to seize my family's property."

Zhou Yan: "..."

"Who is your uncle?!"

Zhou Yan's forehead veins bulged.

"Money doesn't matter, this kind of person deserves to be beaten up!"

Little Yama shook his head.

"Now is not the time to say these things, Xiao Yan, do you know Fengyang Village?"

Zhou Yan looked in the direction of Fengyang Village.

“I know, what’s wrong? There seems to be something there. The directors of several science programs, such as ‘Exploring the Unscientific’ and ‘Urban Morning News,’ have come.”

Little Yama pondered for a moment.

"That place is filled with yin energy, and it's also filled with evil energy. I went to check it out, but because I wasn't strong enough, I could only linger outside the door and didn't dare to go in."

Zhou Yan understood what Little Yama meant.

"I'll find an opportunity to go with you, Brother Yan, later?"

"Huh? Where's Xiao Yan?"

"Xiao Yan! Xiao Yan!"

Bai Yuan and the other person behind Zhou Yan started calling out.

Zhou Yan put the little Yama down from his arms.

"Brother Yan, let's talk about it later."

"Okay, Seven, I've been here all this time. Six, if you want Nine to come find me, just wait here." 〖⊥∠″

Little Yama replied.

Zhou Yan turned out from behind a tree and called out to Bai Yuan, a colleague surnamed Wang, who was shaking his head and looking for him.

"Stop shouting, I'm peeing."

Bai Yuan immediately retorted angrily.

"What time is it? Why didn't you say anything when you went to pee? Do you know I thought you had an accident?!"

Zhou Yan scratched his head and said.

"I... I really need to pee."

A colleague surnamed Wang reassured her.

"Alright, alright, Lao Bai, it's good that Xiao Yan is alright."

Bai Yuan turned around angrily and went back to look at his parachute flying man.

They watched for more than three hours, as the sky went from bright to dark.

When it was completely dark, Zhou Yan and the other two received a WeChat message from Wu Shanfu on their phones.

Wu Shanfu: There's a lot going on here, so we're settling in. Lao Bai, Lao Wang, Xiao Yan, you guys, well, you can go back if you want.

After receiving the message, Zhou Yan, Lao Wang, and Lao Bai looked at each other.

Old Wang raised his hand and said.

"It's late at night, so it's not appropriate to keep running. I suggest you have a meal nearby, find a place to sleep, and leave tomorrow."

Bai Yuan shrugged.

"I have no objection."

Er Baiyuan and Lao Wang were looking at Zhou Yan at the same time.

"I have no objection either."

Zhou Yan said.

Ling Baiyuan stepped forward, put his arm around Zhou Yan's shoulder, and the three of them got into the van and went to a nearby restaurant for a meal.

After finishing their meal, Bai Yuan and Lao Wang planned to find a hotel to rest. Zhou Yan made up an excuse to separate from Bai Yuan and Lao Wang, and secretly went to buy some food.

Shan Xiaoyanjun said that she is now an orphan abandoned by her own uncle. Zhou Yan guessed that Xiaoyanjun was currently penniless and lacked strength, and might have gone hungry for a few meals.

Wu Xiangxiang, the dignified Central Ghost Emperor among the Five Ghost Emperors, was actually starving. Zhou Yan felt sorry for Little Yama.

When Liu finished buying the food and went out, there were significantly more people coming and going in Guangming Village. These extra people were different from the normal crowds; they were almost in groups of three or five, whispering to each other.

As Zhou Yan walked past these people, he deliberately focused his attention on his hearing.

"Hey, hey, hey, have you heard? Fengyang Village has been sealed off..."

"I heard it, I heard it! Apparently, a gold mine was discovered beneath Fengyang Village, and it's caused quite a stir in the state government..."

Is there really a gold mine beneath Fengyang Village?

“Yes, yes, Fengyang Village used to be haunted and many people died there, right? I told my daughter who is in college about this, and she said that the deaths in Fengyang Village might not be a curse, but heavy metal poisoning.”

Zhou Yan had heard of this. There was a land known as the Cursed Land, where anyone who entered would contract a strange disease and die. In many stories and legends, this land was portrayed as incredibly powerful, and some even said that demons lived there.

Then, after some research, several scientists discovered that there were heavy metal mines underground, and that people who ate too much of the plants and animals from this land would suffer from heavy metal poisoning.

"If there really is a gold mine in Fengyang Village, how much money would it be worth?"

"How come we haven't discovered gold mines before?"

"Hey, did you hear? The village chief went to an environmental organization to take over the mountain in Fengyang Village."

Zhou Yan couldn't help but laugh.

It seems that the support team that landed in the afternoon made too much noise, and now rumors and gossip are rampant.

The public loves these kinds of unfounded rumors. *Whoosh*

Zhou Yan walked to the empty corner where his family had previously parked their van.

Zhou Yan had originally intended to have Little Yama deliver his food, but upon reaching this corner, he couldn't help but take a step back.

"How..." Qi

In the center of the open plain, Leng Qing, with a cold expression and dressed in a black suit, looked at Zhou Yan as he approached.

"Do you think I look like a ghost, scaring you just by looking at me?"

Leng Qing's tone was cold and domineering, like an iceberg meeting your face. (tumor)

Zhou Yan was speechless. (Jiu)

Leng Qing, hands in her pockets, strode confidently towards Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan caught a faint scent of women's cigarettes mixed with the faint fragrance of a young woman's body odor, tinged with sweat.

This was quite different from the Leng Qing Zhou Yan remembered. The Leng Qing Zhou Yan remembered was aloof and taciturn, but the current Leng Qing had a touch of Zhuque's air about her. However, compared to Zhuque's domineering nature, Leng Qing's demeanor was even colder and more detached.

Leng Qing said as she walked.

"Wu Shanfu discovered something unpleasant. Headquarters held a meeting and is preparing to call in any available senior executives to handle it." (Mio)

“I was originally busy, but when I heard that you were working for Wu Shanfu, I made a special trip over here.”

Leng Qing stopped half a meter in front of Zhou Yan, looking down at him.

That's right, looking down from above.

Zhou Yan couldn't help but look down.

Yes, there were two ice floes under Leng Qing's feet, which forcibly increased the woman's height by more than 20 centimeters, allowing Leng Qing to look down at her from a higher position.

Speaking of which, Leng Qing is quite short; in fact, she's a head shorter than Zhou Yan.

"I just want to see."

Leng Qingwei raised her chin slightly.

"What makes this guy who dares to tell me not to underestimate a young man's potential?"

This chapter has not been approved.

Leng Qing had seen Zhou Yan's photos and there was no doubt that Zhou Yan was better looking than in his ID photo. However, if Zhou Yan's identity information was correct, the only thing that was better than the identity information he provided when he joined the company was his appearance.

The others are just college loans, families struggling to afford cars and houses, and the possibility that a single illness could wipe out their parents' life savings. Are they normal people?

What right does someone like that have to refuse my proposal?

Zhou Yan, who was being stared at by Leng Qing, looked displeased and asked in return.

"Does Manager Leng think that we subordinates and paupers don't deserve dignity? Do you think I'll willingly kneel down and lick your shoes just because you wave a few checks in front of me?"

Leng Qing wanted to retort, "You have no idea how many people want to lick my shoes," but she swallowed the words back and simply said...

"I've already hired a lawyer to help you pay off your student loans."

Zhou Yan's expression changed.

Leng Qing continued.

"Don't think I'm pitying you. I've seen a lot of people, and you have the makings of a ruthless leader. Investing in you might bring me unexpected returns."

Leng Qing turned around.

"Little guy, you owe me a favor."

Leng Qing walked further and further away, and soon disappeared around a corner.

Zhou Yan watched Leng Qing leave. A little while later, Zhou Yan felt the food he was holding being tugged. He looked down and saw that it was Xiao Yanjun holding the food he had brought.

Perhaps sensing Zhou Yan's gaze, Xiao Yanjun, clutching the plastic bag of food, looked up and asked.

"Isn't this the food you brought for me?"

Zhou Yan let go.
