193: Housewarming Ceremony

“Tell me,” Wang Yi patted his chest, indicating he would definitely fulfill it, “as long as it’s within my capabilities, I’ll try my best to satisfy you.”

“Isn’t your boarding time not here yet? How about this, don’t take the train today. Wait until tomorrow and bring me along to take the train. That way, all four of us will be on the train, and we can look out for each other,” Gu Mingzhu said.

“Ah?” Wang Yi’s first reaction after hearing this was surprise.

“What, no?” Gu Mingzhu asked curiously, blinking her large, fluttering eyes.

“This... I’ll have to discuss it with them.” Wang Yi activated his skill: Call for reinforcements.

“Alright, you go, I’ll wait.” Gu Mingzhu wasn’t in a hurry. She found a large rock and sat there, leisurely admiring the distant scenery.

She hadn’t expected the scenery in the Ferocious Beast Forest to be quite good. She used to think it was extremely dangerous, where one could lose their life in an instant.

Both the City Lord’s Senior Brother and her theoretical teacher had told her as much, otherwise, they wouldn’t have specifically found Wang Yi for her when she wanted to go on an adventure in the forest.

But it was only when she truly arrived here that she discovered there were actually vehicles that could travel through the perilous Ferocious Beast Forest, and as long as they sat in the vehicle, the ferocious beasts wouldn’t dare to approach.

Even the ferocious beasts on the periphery would run away when they saw regular passengers like Wang Yi and his companions, without any hesitation.

Originally, she only wanted to come for a single experience today to broaden her horizons, and it would be even better if she could gain some insight in the life-and-death struggle with high-level ferocious beasts.

But now, she was no longer satisfied with just visiting the forest today.

She also wanted to become a regular passenger of that mysterious green train!

After Wang Yi went and told Ge Yunying and Feng Zhi about Gu Mingzhu’s request, neither of them seemed to have any objections.

“Actually, I’ve long felt that we need to adjust our travel time. Otherwise, we have to come twice a day, once to buy water and once to take the train. That way, an entire day passes, and we don’t get anything done,” Ge Yunying said.

“I agree too. We’ll take the train tomorrow morning and, by the way, see if we can try our luck and buy a bottle of water,” Feng Zhi nodded, also finding it feasible.

Seeing that both of them agreed, Wang Yi went to Gu Mingzhu and said, “Alright then, we agree to your request. You can’t go back on your word, okay?”

Gu Mingzhu raised an eyebrow and smiled: “Don’t worry, happy cooperation.”

Wang Yi: “Happy cooperation.”

Actually, even if Wang Yi hadn’t said anything, Gu Mingzhu wouldn’t have told the City Lord about the green train. After all, she didn’t want so many people from 155 Fortress to come and compete with her for a seat on the train.

She had counted; there were only eight seats on that train in total. With so many people coming to ride, where would her spot be?

Forget about her being the little princess of the City Lord’s Mansion. This train had ample spiritual energy, could prevent ferocious beasts from approaching, and allowed buying things... With so many temptations, who cared which princess she was?

So, Senior Brother City Lord, please don’t blame me for keeping secrets from you... 155 Fortress, Martial Artist Training Base.

“Since you four are willing to join my Martial Artist Training Base, then from now on, you are all members of the Martial Artist Training Base. Your positions have been assigned; you just need to go back and check the classes you’ll be teaching and your lecturing times.”

Principal Liu of the Martial Artist Training Base personally came forward, which was considered giving the four patriarchs ample respect this time.

The remaining members of the Four Great Families all merged into the White Wing Martial Arts Training Center as agreed, and Director Gao also, as agreed, arranged for all four of them to serve as lecturing teachers at the Martial Artist Training Base.

The Martial Artist ranks of the patriarchs of the Wang Family, Hua Family, and Liu Family were all eleventh-level, while Xiao Zhenxuan was twelfth-level. Their level was second only to the five directors in the Martial Artist Training Base.

Therefore, Principal Liu was very satisfied with this. With these four individuals, the teaching staff of their Martial Artist Training Base would become even stronger.

Originally, the highest-level martial artists in their Martial Artist Training Base were not as high as those in the City Lord’s Mansion and the Beast Taming Bureau, so they won by the number of martial artists of moderate levels.

Otherwise, they would not be able to be called one of the Three Great Powers of 155 Fortress alongside the City Lord’s Mansion and the Beast Taming Bureau.

And for Director Gao, although the Four Great Families had declined, a sparrow may be small but it has all its vital organs. By merging completely into the White Wing Martial Arts Training Center, the forces behind him also grew considerably.

This transaction could be said to be a win-win-win.

“Thank you, Principal Liu!”

The patriarchs of the Four Great Families quickly expressed their gratitude.

“Mm, you may go,” Principal Liu said to them with a smile.

“Yes.”

This grand “joining” ceremony finally concluded, and everyone was very happy, except for Director Li, who had previously spoken with Xiao Zhenxuan.

“Director Gao truly has excellent methods; he actually managed to get the Xiao Family to bypass me and cooperate with him.”

Later, Director Li couldn’t help but start feeling sour about Director Gao.

The power of these Four Great Families should have been his!

He wondered why, despite giving Xiao Zhenxuan such a long time to consider, Xiao Zhenxuan hadn’t come to him. It turned out Director Gao had interfered and snatched him away.

“What is Director Li talking about? Xiao Zhenxuan came to me on his own initiative; I didn’t threaten him,” Director Gao raised an eyebrow and spread his hands, speaking impeccably.

How could Director Li not be angry? He had originally intended to annex the Xiao Family, but not only did he fail to annex them, he also handed over such a good opportunity to Director Gao.

The White Wing Martial Arts Training Center under Director Gao had, in one fell swoop, absorbed all the remaining forces of the Four Great Families.

What a huge appetite!

Not only that, but Xiao Zhenxuan and his group also joined the Martial Artist Training Base, becoming his colleagues.

Although he was a director and Xiao Zhenxuan was just a lecturing teacher, everyone was a teacher at the Martial Artist Training Base and was uniformly managed by Principal Liu and the two vice principals.

Moreover, Xiao Zhenxuan had already latched onto Director Gao’s leg, so even if he wanted to target Xiao Zhenxuan, Director Gao would be there to shield him.

A miscalculation, truly a miscalculation!

Director Li was so angry he wished he could tear Director Gao apart on the spot.

He snorted coldly and said disdainfully, “Is that so? Director Gao, don’t forget, Xiao Zhenxuan used to be my cooperate partner. Now that his goal has been achieved, when he chooses a cooperation partner again in the future, it might not necessarily be anyone.”

“Alright, then I’ll wait and see.” Director Gao’s eyes were also very shrewd. Since that’s the case, then let’s wait and see... Outside 155 Fortress, Axe Gang.

In Xiong Mao’s room, the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley, Wen Hui, twirled a pen in her hand and said with certainty, “Bao Hui’s whereabouts have been very suspicious lately. He keeps going in and out, even though there’s nothing for him to do outside.”

She usually didn’t go out much, but Xiong Mao had people in the Axe Gang, so if Bao Hui had suspicious activities, they would naturally report it.

“Should I have someone continue to keep an eye on him?” Xiong Mao asked.
