Kapitel 560: Chapter 560: Come, Come, Let's Have a Meeting!
One-Eyed Man, finally enjoying some leisure time, puffed elegantly on his cigar, contemplating life. He mused about his age and the possibility of finding a lovely young woman to romance.
Time to get down to business.
Ideally, something life-altering would happen.
Just as he was indulging in these fantasies, the ground shook violently, nearly throwing him from his chair.
"What's going on?"
He abruptly stood, walking to the floor-to-ceiling window and peering into the distance. There were no unusual sights, no apparent danger, and he hadn't heard of any impending earthquakes in Yanhai City.
His phone rang.
It was Old Master Xu from Xia Du.
"Hello!"
"Yes, we felt the tremors here too. We don't know what's happening yet."
"It seems something big is happening."
One-Eyed Man analyzed the situation with Old Master Xu. The tremors were global, definitely not a natural occurrence. The only explanation was that something extraordinary was happening, something with the potential to drastically alter the current world order.
At the Alliance Academy.
Mu Hao was preparing his lessons as usual. Teaching brought him joy; seeing his students learn from him filled him with a profound sense of satisfaction that was difficult to describe.
The earthquake arrived.
The tremors were quite strong.
"This is..." Mu Hao was astonished. He sensed spiritual energy emanating from deep within the earth.
As he pondered this, the other Starry Sky Clan disciples in the office exclaimed in surprise.
"The earth's energy is reviving! The Great Change has finally arrived!"
"Hahaha, the era of our opportunities is here!"
"Anyone want to team up? Cooperation is key to obtaining the best treasures."
The Starry Sky Clan disciples were visibly excited.
They had been here for a while, initially expecting gains, but it had turned out to be a trap. Suppressed and unable to act freely, they had been forced to establish the so-called Alliance Academy. They had hoped to take some slaves back for mining, but various factors had prevented them from doing so.
Mu Hao knew they were about to make their move.
He picked up his lesson plan and prepared to leave.
"Mu Hao, do you really want to teach for the rest of your life?" Blocking his path was Liao Wan, the young master of the Flamefire Clan. He had average looks and a mane of fiery red hair – his face didn't quite match his hairstyle.
Mu Hao replied, "It's quite good."
"You saw what just happened. With the earth's energy reviving, true treasures will appear. You continue to teach these guys cultivation. If your Mu Clan knew, they would be very disappointed." Liao Wan wanted to team up with Mu Hao, but he hadn't expected Mu Hao to be so engrossed in teaching. This was very different from the Mu Hao he knew before.
Mu Hao didn't want to get involved in their affairs.
A face flashed in his mind.
A chilling face.
A terrifying individual.
November 6th!
Lin Fan and Old Zhang woke up early, ate the eggs laid by the Evil Chicken, and praised the Evil Chicken for its diligence. Usually, the Evil Chicken didn't show much initiative, but it was a vengeful chicken, and Ginseng constantly humiliated it.
Receiving praise from Lin Fan and Old Zhang, the Evil Chicken proudly raised its head and stared directly at Ginseng.
Although it didn't speak, its meaning was clear.
See? I've been praised too. What do you have to say now?
Ginseng noticed the Evil Chicken's gaze and patted its head with satisfaction.
"The eggs you laid are delicious."
To the Evil Chicken, these words were like a thunderbolt, shattering its spirit. Its entire body froze. This wasn't the reaction it wanted.
Damn it!
Despicable!
I, the Evil Chicken, will not let this go.
At this moment, the Evil Chicken clenched its wings. Thirty years on the east side of the river, thirty years on the west. Don't bully a young chicken.
Given time, I, the Evil Chicken, will surely rise to prominence and one day transform into a Flying Chicken.
Knock, knock!
Someone knocked on the door.
Opening the door, they found One-Eyed Man standing outside.
"Good morning," Lin Fan greeted with a smile.
"Good morning," One-Eyed Man replied. He knew how to communicate with the mentally ill; just go along with what they said.
"Have you had breakfast?" Lin Fan asked.
"Yes, I have," One-Eyed Man replied.
After a brief exchange, One-Eyed Man said, "Could you join us for a meeting?"
"Sure."
Lin Fan's position was within the special department, so he naturally had to attend work meetings. He then told Old Zhang to tidy up and went to the meeting.
One-Eyed Man's current mindset was simple.
What to do when encountering a problem?
The first helper that came to mind was definitely Lin Fan.
Only with Lin Fan by his side could he feel a sense of security.
In the meeting room.
It was already full of people.
Even Liu Haichan, who usually spent his time meditating by the Dao Tree, was sitting there waiting. Among this group, the most powerful, besides One-Eyed Man, was Liu Haichan.
After all, meditating daily in front of the Dao Tree, even a pig could undergo substantial transformation.
When Lin Fan appeared, everyone turned their gaze towards him.
Lin Daoming and Master Yongxin's eyes lingered on Ginseng.
Their eyes held a certain longing.
Was it a longing for maternal love?
No... it was a longing for Ginseng's body, hoping it would have diarrhea or vomit here, so they could have some.
The Evil Chicken was inwardly excited. A high-level meeting, a true high-level meeting, where it could glean a lot of useful inside information. From a long time ago, it had aspired to become the Evil Hero King, infiltrating humanity, even enduring various humiliations and having its dignity trampled upon.
But it still maintained its sense of self.
An undercover agent needed a strong mentality.
"Good morning, everyone," Lin Fan greeted them warmly. They saw each other often.
Everyone greeted Lin Fan amicably.
They were all proud individuals.
They could be displeased with anyone, except Lin Fan. How else could they follow the big boss around to find opportunities?
If they didn't follow Lin Fan, who knew what terrifying things might happen?
"Sit," One-Eyed Man said.
Lin Fan wasn't particularly interested in anything, but if someone needed his help, he was always happy to oblige.
At this moment, Jin Heali walked in. She immediately spotted Lin Fan and actively nodded and smiled at him. Lin Fan returned the smile. The people in the room exchanged glances.
The workaholic Jin Heali rarely took such initiative.
It seemed there was something going on between them.
The meeting was chaired by Jin Heali, while One-Eyed Man, as the leader, sat at the head of the table, ready to give the final summary.
The projector turned on, the screen lit up, and Jin Heali began to speak.
"After the global earthquake, various departments investigated the situation. The news from Xia Du is that the earth's energy has shifted, and famous mountains and ancient sites have all undergone changes. According to information provided by an anonymous source, this is the revival of the earth's energy, a great change in the world, and the beginning of a new era."
"The Starry Sky Clans under surveillance have all left the Alliance Academy and begun to act."
"In fact, we missed our chance a long time ago, so we absolutely cannot miss this one. Otherwise, it will be very detrimental to humanity."
Of course, Jin Heali's words didn't carry much weight.
She was excluding Lin Fan. With the strength Lin Fan had displayed, even if they missed this opportunity, there wouldn't be any problems. However, a man should strive to be self-reliant and not rely solely on one person. They needed to work together; this was the spirit of unity.
"Well said," One-Eyed Man agreed wholeheartedly.
See? How well put.
At the scene, the most distressed were Lin Daoming and the nameless medical expert.
Lin Daoming's path to becoming stronger was to obtain something from Ginseng, such as its excrement or urine, anything would do. Unfortunately, it was hopeless. The quantity was scarce, and who knew when the next opportunity to become stronger would come.
Mount Mao was truly miserable.
So far, had they excavated any scriptures related to Mount Mao from those famous mountains and ancient sites?
No.
Not a single one.
This was a profession abandoned by heaven.
Just as Lin Daoming was sighing, he felt a gaze linger on him. He followed the gaze and found that it was the medical expert looking at him.
She smiled, revealing her missing front teeth.
Suddenly, he remembered.
The medical expert seemed to be in an even more dire situation than him.
The Four Great Academies.
They were once all prosperous.
But in just a few months, the Medical Academy had rapidly declined. The situation was terrible, even worse than his. At least he could occasionally taste Ginseng's nourishing...leavings.
One should be content.
The medical expert sighed and nodded, asking, "Why are you so sure we will rise again?"
"I'm guessing," Lin Daoming said.
"What if you're wrong?"
Faced with this question, Lin Daoming fell into deep thought. After a while, he said, "I have a decent relationship with the directors of several hospitals. I can recommend some jobs for the students of your Medical Academy."
The medical expert, "..."
Ahem!
One-Eyed Man coughed lightly. Leaders needed to build up their emotions before giving their final speeches, as if only then would their words carry weight.
"Minister Jin has made it very clear. The situation before us is urgent. Opportunities don't come often. If we encounter such an opportunity, we must seize it, or we will regret it."
He understood profoundly that their current safety relied on Lin Fan. Although things wouldn't go wrong if they continued like this, their vision couldn't be so short-sighted. They needed to rely on themselves more often.
Currently, the most prosperous was the Buddhist Academy.
They had obtained many scriptures.
This had completely opened up the path of Buddhist cultivation.
Next... was the Daoist Academy.
Liu Haichan had gained many insights from the Dao Tree, compiled them into a collection, and promoted them within the Daoist Academy.
Mount Mao and the Medical Academy were struggling.
Especially the Medical Academy.
It was on the verge of becoming useless.
If this continued, the only outcome would be the complete dissolution of the Medical Academy. However, it couldn't be dissolved. They had invested so much effort and the blood of so many predecessors into establishing the Medical Academy. If it were to be dissolved, then he, Xu Zhengyang, would be a sinner.
He would be nailed to the pillar of shame by the people of the Medical Academy.
The only way...
Was to help the Medical Academy rise again and find a new path.
