That's why he rushed over personally in such a hurry.
The main idea is: the rain he was once drenched by, he absolutely will not let the younger generation get drenched by again.
Don't even ntion growing through setbacks and lessons.
That stuff is purely frustration and humiliation.
Whoever has to endure it knows it. Whoever says this is growth, well, let them have endless growth then.
Anyway, the people he protects cannot suffer such humiliation.
Elder Shui's expression changed at lightning speed, his gaze shifting to Xue Kai, who was still lying on the ground.
He gave a cold 'hmph'.
Instantly, the ground rippled and surged as if it were water, a wave cresting and slapping Xue Kai unconscious!
The Minister of the Review Office, a cultivator at the Spirit Refinent realm, didn't have a shred of power to resist.
He was like a little chick.
Only then did Elder Shui speak: "Consider yourself lucky."
Surrender and you only lose half. If he had arrived to find Xue Kai still putting on that tough act like before...
Well, that person would have been in for a world of suffering.
He then looked at Lu Ding again with a smile and said, "Haven't seen anything novel, ca to see who's so eager to die."
"Now that I've seen it, it's nothing special after all. Perfect timing, I can take you ho."
"The first ti, it was this old man who took you to handle the formalities. The second ti, it should be too."
As he spoke, he even seed a bit proud.
Lu Ding pushed Elder Shui forward.
In his ears echoed the words Elder Shui had said during their first eting.
"Can't you push faster? Young man, is your body not up to it?"
Lu Ding applied a bit more force with his hands, the apertures on his back opened, and black smoke billowed out.
An impassioned, blood-stirring soundwave erupted.
'VROOM!!!'
"Hold on tight, Elder Shui."
As soon as the words left his mouth, he launched forward with a catapulting start.
In the blink of an eye.
A long black line was drawn across the sky from their original position to the horizon by the trailing black smoke.
Fu Xinghe watched this scene, turned his head slightly, and noticed his master was staring intently at the receding figures of Elder Shui and Lu Ding, lost in thought.
Chasing stars at such an old age.
Really.
He spoke up: "Master, lend a hand. When we get back, I'll ask Brother Lu to get you an autograph from Elder Shui."
Old Man Long didn't react for a mont: "Oh oh, lend a hand, right? What do you need to do?"
"Help take them back. These are Brother Lu's spoils of war."
Fu Xinghe said, looking at the unconscious Xue Kai and the several Review Office staff mbers standing frozen in place, not daring to lift their heads.
Suddenly.
Old Man Long's voice rose several octaves, startling Fu Xinghe.
"Elder Shui's autograph!!!!!!!!?"
"Really? Can you really get Elder Shui's autograph? Quick, quick, quick, Xinghe, let's go, let's go, no delays, don't keep Elder Shui and Special Envoy Lu waiting!"
Fu Xinghe watched as Old Man Long swooped over, grabbed the unconscious Xue Kai with one hand, and kicked the Review Office personnel with his leg.
"Fly, fly, fly, get flying! Hurry up! Do I need to teach you how!?"
Fu Xinghe shook his head silently: 'Sigh...'
Who says old people don't chase stars? Isn't this pretty crazy?
Fu Xinghe estimated that from now on, Elder Shui's autograph would probably replace his master's favorite drinking snack, peanuts, as the number one treasure in his heart.
The two of them followed with the 'spoils of war' in tow.
.....
749 Bureau Headquarters, Hanjing.
Lu Ding pushed Elder Shui all the way ho.
That speed, maxed out!!
The intense G-force pushing you back into your seat was all about the thrill!
The rest was just signing in, reporting, and submitting the prepared debriefing report in advance.
Secretary Qiu casually skimd through it, stamping each page with the official seal unhurriedly as he asked.
"Lu Ding, how do you plan to handle those few from the Review Office?"
Lu Ding was making tea for Elder Shui.
Acting like it was his own ho.
The main vibe was one of relaxed laziness.
It was also a rare mont of relaxation. At least at this mont, here, he felt more at ease than anywhere else and didn't need to worry about anything.
Picking up a teacup, he placed one on Secretary Qiu's desk, then casually sat down in the recliner next to Elder Shui, giving it a rock.
That was what you called easy.
Creak, creak....
He took another sip of the special hawk tea: "Tsk..... Ah...."
Comfortable....
"Xue Kai... for now, I can't quite tell if he's actually smart and knows how to bide his ti, or if he's genuinely convinced and his heart isn't crooked. So let's wait and see what his attitude is after the situation reports from the Dong and Su families are released."
"As for the others......"
Lu Ding drank his tea, thought for a mont, then said: "Except for that guy with the mole by his eye, the defiant and resentful one who took a kick from , let all the others go."
When the leader gives an order, subordinates sotis have no choice but to obey.
Lu Ding could understand them a little.
He's not petty; there's no need to make things difficult for them.
It's like going out to eat and taking your frustration out on the waiter. The waiter just serves the food, provides service; they don't cook the dishes, they're not managent or the owner. Why vent your anger on them?
But that young guy who wanted to lay hands on him, that's a different standard.
Forgiving others when possible is a matter of grace and magnanimity.
Standing your ground when you're in the right is your duty and right.
Lu Ding set down his teacup: "Lock him up first, then file a lawsuit. Little chick feathers just got stiff, trying to act like a hawk in front of . Using his Review Office identity to act tough like a fox borrowing a tiger's might? Then don't work at the Review Office anymore; go ho and farm. Does he really think no one can deal with them!?"
The procedures were incomplete, the process was wrong. Even Xue Kai, the Minister, didn't dare to lay hands directly, and he dared?
Spoiled him rotten!
If we don't teach him a lesson, he really won't know how treacherous the world can be.
Must make him rember this!
Thump!
Secretary Qiu stamped another seal on the docunt: "Alright, leave this matter to to handle. Major work error, awaiting adjudication, removal from post, dismissal. One day at most."
Here, his tone shifted: "But the impact of today's disturbance is a bit big. Later, procedures will need to be followed. At that ti, the Review Office, 749, and the official authorities might hold a joint tribunal."
"You'd better prepare so materials, the situation reports on the Dong and Su families, and the evidence. Do you have it all?"
Lu Ding nodded: "Don't worry, Secretary Qiu. I have it all, and it's very complete."
A smile touched the corner of his mouth. Just thinking about later, during the joint tribunal, releasing the audio and video recordings he made in the Wuwang Nowhere Room, coupled with his achievent of breaching the Wuwang Teleportation Array, made Lu Ding want to laugh.
How utterly explosive would that be?
The Wuwang Teleportation Array and the Nowhere Room, technical problems that had plagued the Great Han, were solved by him.
You have to understand, it was precisely because that rat-dropping organization Wuwang jumped out to stir up trouble that it triggered that whole chain reaction in the new city before.
The Great Han absolutely detested them.
But the extrely concealed Nowhere Room and the co-and-go-without-a-trace teleportation array truly left the Great Han at a loss.
Just based on this point, as long as Wuwang still shows signs of activity in the new city, Lu Ding's position in the new city is irreplaceable and unshakable.
For now, aside from him, there isn't a single person who has any moves to use against Wuwang.
This is also the trap Lu Ding dug for the other special envoys who will co after the new city's public testing.
When the ti cos to fight over territory, Wuwang might launch one or several fierce counterattacks. As long as they are blocked, Wuwang will henceforth be wary of him and try to avoid his peak tis.
Then the special envoys in other parts of the new city will be in for a rough ti......
Although he and the other future special envoys are all within the sa 749 system.
But even brothers keep clear accounts. A treasure land like the new city, handed over to those without the capability to manage it? Lu Ding isn't comfortable with that.
Hearing his words, Secretary Qiu said: "Having it complete is good. Later, I also have so materials here that can supplent yours, add icing on the cake."
"Thank you, Secretary Qiu."
"Don't ntion it. We're family; no need for formalities. Later, when Xinghe cos ho, I might still have to trouble you to lend a hand."
Lu Ding looked over: "I have a quick temper."
Secretary Qiu looked back: "That's exactly why I need you to lend a hand."
The two of them smiled simultaneously, their smiles growing wider and wider until laughter filled the office.
"Hahahahahahaha........"
