Chapter 67 I'm your godfather, Zhang Chulan!
On the way to Biyou Village.
Zhang Chulan was sitting cross-legged in the back seat of the van, practicing the Old Farmer's Kung Fu. With the time for the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony drawing ever closer, Zhang Chulan dared not stop for a moment.
"Why do I have to come along with you, even though it's a minor path?"
Sitting in the passenger seat, Wang Ye rested his chin on the window, looking quite helpless.
At this moment, the arguing outside the car interrupted Zhang Chulan's cultivation.
What happened?
The people inside the car looked out the window and saw that the road not far ahead was blocked, with several police officers and a group of people at the front.
The sounds of the argument came from them.
"Why can't I go through! Is there a rule preventing us from going through?"
"Officer, my house is just ahead, I'm on my way home, please let me through!"
"I have important business to attend to. If you delay me, can you take responsibility?"
Most of the people gathered in front were young people, mostly students. Zhang Chulan never expected that they would get into a dispute with the police.
"What happened, Fourth Brother? Why are so many students arguing with the police?" Zhang Chulan asked, leaning forward.
Xu Si asked a few questions into the earpiece, then shook his head and said with a smile.
"A group of young people online somehow found out the location of Biyou Village, and now they want to go into Biyou Village to find Ma Xianhong. Now all the main roads into Biyou Village are guarded by our people, and they have blocked them."
You have to admit, their efficiency is really high; they arrived even faster than us.
Zhang Chulan looked at the group of shouting young people with a complicated expression. The extraordinary people they dreamed of becoming were once the identities that Zhang Chulan wanted to forget.
"So what are the higher-ups planning to do with these people?" Zhang Chulan asked, somewhat worried about their fate.
"What else can we do? We can take down those insiders who try to bypass the road and force their way into Biyou Village. If they are ordinary people, we can't take action. We can only persuade them to turn back."
"What if they don't listen to advice?"
"Then keep persuading them until they go back."
Zhang Chulan hadn't expected that the higher-ups would handle this group of people so leniently.
Just then, someone approached and knocked on the car window.
"Fourth brother, you've finally arrived. We've been waiting for you for a long time. You can't drive through this intersection, so please get out and walk a bit."
The person knocking on the window was an employee sent by the company to pick them up, and he was also an old acquaintance of Xu Si.
"Alright, I didn't expect it to be you picking me up, Lao Wang. I thought you had already gone to headquarters to enjoy yourself?"
As Xu Si got out of the car, he handed a cigarette to the person opposite him.
"Enjoy what? The whole country is in chaos right now. Everywhere is short of people. Everyone has been sent to local areas to maintain order."
"Oh, so this is Zhang Chulan, right? He's certainly a handsome young man."
"Brother Wang is too kind. I am far inferior to you."
Led by the guides, Zhang Chulan and his group successfully bypassed the congested crowd ahead.
As he left, Zhang Chulan glanced into the crowd and saw a young man wearing glasses pleading incessantly.
"Brother, I'm begging you, I dream of becoming an Outcast, please let me go."
However, the police officers in charge of guarding the area showed no leniency whatsoever.
……
After walking for another half hour, a village in the distance slowly came into Zhang Chulan's view.
We're almost at Biyou Village.
"Is that Biyou Village? We're almost there."
A tough battle is about to begin!
Before they even got close to Biyou Village, a group of people blocked their way.
"Halt! Who are you? What are you doing in my Biyou Village?"
Standing in the middle was a young man with white hair, who was holding a golden jade ruyi in his hand.
The man on the left is a tall, burly man who appears to be Mongolian.
The one on the right is a young man with orange hair who looks like an honest person.
Having already read the information about Biyou Village, Zhang Chulan immediately recognized that the ones blocking their way were Qiu Rang, Haricha Gai, and Ding Ziheng, three of the twelve top-tier talents from Biyou Village.
The three people seemed to be holding magical artifacts, and they were looking at them with unfriendly expressions.
Zhang Chulan turned his head and whispered to Xu Si.
"Fourth Brother, they've come with ill intentions."
"We are the ones who have come, Chu Lan."
Xu Si stepped forward without changing his expression. "Gentlemen, I am Xu Si, the head of the North China region of Na Du Tong. I have come here specifically to visit Master Ma and would like to discuss some official business with him."
As he spoke, he pulled Zhang Chulan and Wang Ye, who were behind him, over to join him.
"This is Zhang Chulan, a descendant of Zhang Huaiyi, who mastered the Eight Extraordinary Techniques. The other is Wang Ye, the successor of the Feng Hou Qi Men of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques. They also wish to pay their respects to Master Ma."
The two people who were pulled forward exchanged a brief greeting.
"I am Zhang Chulan/Wudang Wang, and I have come to pay my respects to Master Ma."
Qiu Rang looked Zhang Chulan and Wang Ye up and down, and they were indeed the inheritors of the Eight Extraordinary Skills who appeared in the previous video.
"Since you are the inheritors of the Eight Extraordinary Skills, then I will announce it. I'm warning you in advance: if you intend to harm Biyou Village, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Ziheng, go and inform the sect leader. I'll stay here and keep an eye on them."
After issuing a verbal warning, Qiu Rang sent Ding Ziheng to the village to inform Ma Xianhong, while he himself stayed behind to keep an eye on them.
Just then, a gentle voice came from the sky.
"No need for that. You've all come from afar and must be tired. Let Qiu lead them directly into the village."
Qiu Rang quickly looked up and discovered that the source of the sound was a magical flying insect that was flying in the sky.
Ma Xianhong had already spotted Zhang Chulan's arrival through flying insects, assuming they would simply be like the other employees of Na Du Tong, setting up defenses and guarding the area outside the village.
Unexpectedly, they simply swaggered into the village.
Behind the scenes, Ma Xianhong watched Zhang Chulan and Wang Ye below through the monitor of the flying insect.
"I hope you haven't been corrupted by the company and are now on the opposite side of me. We should be one."
……
In the center of the village.
Ma Xianhong had arrived early and was quietly waiting for Zhang Chulan and his group. The other members of the Upper Root Realm were also present beside him.
As soon as Zhang Chulan came into view, he saw Ma Xianhong sitting opposite him and his other six superior talents.
Behind Ma Xianhong, a little girl with orange hair made no attempt to hide her glare at Zhang Chulan.
"Are you here also to steal my leader's Divine Hundred Refinements?"
Zhang Chulan quickly denied it.
"Hey, hey, hey! Kids shouldn't say things like that. We have no such intention. We are a legitimate department and we don't do such things."
Ma Xianhong raised his hand to calm Liu Wu Kui down and then looked at Zhang Chu Lan.
"You're Zhang Chulan?"
"Yes, yes, Master Ma, I am Zhang Chulan, the grandson of Zhang Huaiyi from the Thirty-Six Righteous Men. If you count it that way, I seem to be your god-uncle, Brother Ma, hahaha."
