78: It’s so good to be related to someone else!

The audience was packed with people—parents, relatives, and teachers—almost every seat was taken, making it very lively.

And very noisy.

But luckily, Tang Gao had adapted a lot and was no longer bothered by it.

Liu Ren found a staff member and reported his name.

The staff member's face lit up when he saw Tang Gao’s student ID: “Are you today’s Martial Exam Champion?”

Tang Gao smiled faintly: “The Martial Exam results aren’t out yet; your congratulations are a bit early.”

The staff member immediately pulled out his phone, grinning from ear to ear: “You’re truly something! Who else could instantly defeat an examiner with one move? Would you mind a photo?”

“Sure, no problem.”

The staff member immediately squeezed over, stood next to Tang Gao, and took a photo with a bright smile.

After the photo, the staff member picked up the small walkie-talkie on his collar and excitedly said: “Officer, Tang Gao is here, this year’s Martial Exam Champion!”

Tang Gao was slightly helpless: “I just want to participate in the special exam, not come here to perform… Can we not do this?”

The staff member immediately laughed and quickly reported Tang Gao’s request to his superiors.

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Gao felt a gaze from the organizer’s platform, containing powerful Mental Energy.

Tang Gao was surprised and looked in that direction, seeing General Liu with a bright smile.

“Hey! Little Gao!”

General Liu’s voice was very loud; he flew directly from the organizer’s platform, controlling his speed as he flew towards Tang Gao.

Tang Gao was utterly speechless, fully grasping the essence of the saying, “People fear fame like pigs fear getting fat.”

Well, being low-key was no longer an option.

General Liu flew over, riding the wind, his smile bright, growing fonder of Tang Gao the more he looked at him.

This young man not only overthrew the Three-Leaf Clover Group but also exposed a series of internal documents, making extremely important and outstanding contributions to Liang City. In the past month, thanks to the powerful being behind him, Liang City’s public security has improved significantly.

Furthermore, everyone felt that a powerful being was active in Liang City, so no one dared to provoke Liang City at this time, adding weight to Liang City’s influence and giving them a good feeling.

Having one powerful being as a backer feels good for a while.

Having two powerful beings as a backer feels doubly good for a while!

Not to mention, this kid also successfully boosted Liu Ren’s scores, raising his Martial Exam level. His Junior Brother at the Guardian Bureau has been grinning from ear to ear lately, often showing off to him.

If he weren’t busy, his Junior Brother would even want to host a banquet specifically to thank Tang Gao.

General Liu loved the house for the sake of the person in it, and his admiration and fondness for Tang Gao deepened even further.

When everyone saw General Liu flying from the organizer’s platform, their gazes immediately converged, seeing Liang City’s Martial Exam Champion, and they burst into cheers.

“Tang Gao! Tang Gao! Tang Gao!”

“Tang Gao! Tang Gao! Tang Gao!” (Note: This is a homophone for “sugar cake” in Chinese, often used playfully).

“Wow wow wow! The Champion is so handsome! I want to have your babies!”

Amidst the fervent cheers, some strange shouts seemed to be mixed in.

But it was too noisy, and Tang Gao couldn't distinguish who was shouting nonsense for a moment.

General Liu landed on the ground, his smile bright, and with a flick of his cape, he released a faint life fluctuation.

Everyone in the education hall unconsciously quieted down, excitedly watching the conversation between the heroic general and Liang City’s Genius!

Tang Gao cupped his hands helplessly: “Greetings, General Liu.”

General Liu laughed heartily: “Why still call me General? Call me Senior Brother, you kid, are you being estranged?”

Tang Gao was amused and cupped his hands again: “Alright, thank you, Senior Brother.”

General Liu’s eyes swept over, seeing his Junior Brother’s two sons, and he chuckled: “Little Ren, Xiao Yi, here to take the exam? Have you registered?”

Liu Yi cupped his hands and said earnestly: “Replying to General, we have already registered and are waiting to take the exam.”

Liu Ren shrugged, remaining silent.

In public settings, for such interactions, it was usually the Liu family’s spokesperson who spoke, including the heir.

Therefore, when the two brothers stood together in public, Liu Yi would often handle external communication, while Liu Ren acted as a laid-back slacker.

Liu Ren had a very clear understanding of his own position: currently leeching off his parents, in the future he would leech off his younger brother, and in old age, he would leech off his children. His main philosophy was simply to leech, leech, leech.

General Liu chuckled, glanced at his watch: “Alright, then I’ll arrange you for the next session. This session is about to start, so you can watch here first.”

Tang Gao’s expression brightened slightly, and he cupped his hands: “Thank you, Senior Brother.”

One had to admit, sometimes having connections was truly wonderful.

Darn it, is this the evil of connections? It’s too good!

General Liu looked at Tang Gao, then remembered something and asked: “You need five people for theconfrontation; you’re still short two people?”

This team combat was five-on-five. If they didn’t have enough teammates, teammates would be assigned based on the situation.

Tang Gao nodded calmly: “Yes, but it’s okay, I can take on five.”

Or nine.

That was not an issue.

This time, he was originally just bringing Little Ren and Xiao Yi to build their resumes; an exam of this difficulty had no challenge whatsoever.

General Liu couldn’t stop laughing: “You kid are truly arrogant. How about I add some difficulty for you?”

Tang Gao crossed his arms and rolled his eyes: “Senior Brother, will you die if you don’t target me?”

General Liu took out his phone from his pocket, chuckling: “This matter is indeed my responsibility, but I want to trouble you for a moment. Only you are better suited to resolve this.”

Tang Gao saw his Senior Brother being so polite and let go of his pretense: “Senior Brother, please speak. If it’s within my capabilities, I will definitely do it.”

After all, Senior Brother Liu had helped him many times; there was no need for Senior Brother to be so polite in troubling him.

General Liu pondered for a moment and said: “After the Three-Leaf Clover Group’s medicinal material reserve base incident, we have properly settled the victims, but there is a Cultivator named Li Yuan who is quite difficult for me to handle, so I would like to ask for your help.”

Tang Gao was surprised, wondering why this was difficult to handle: “Please speak, I’m listening.”

After the medicinal material reserve base case, those victims were properly settled by the Guardian Bureau, and Li Yuan was also taken away to cooperate with the investigation.

Afterward, Tang Gao had the Violent Justice messenger deliver information about Li Yuan’s mother’s Reincarnation, and the matter concluded perfectly.

How did this Li Yuan become difficult to handle?

That kid was very well-behaved. Except for when he went into dungeons with the Violent Justice messenger, most of the time he was diligently Cultivating, saying that he wanted to give his reincarnated mother a good life in the future and also repay him.

General Liu’s expression was serious as he slowly explained: “This Li Yuan, he received too little education at that base, but he has good talent and good cultivation. Keeping him in the Guardian Bureau would be too much of a waste.

However, because this kid lacks education, I had him participate in this special exam, intending for him to get a good score, so we could see if he could get into a good school for some special recruitment education.

But… this kid is cold and aloof; he doesn’t pay attention to anyone, and no one is willing to team up with him proactively.

I figured you are a top student in academic exams, the Martial Exam Champion, plus you have an elective slot. How about I entrust this task to you?”

General Liu also greatly admired Li Yuan. This Li Yuan seemed aloof but was actually deeply loyal and righteous, and he possessed unwavering filial piety. Although his mother had died, he took great care of his siblings. If properly nurtured, he would be a steadfast Dao Protector.

General Liu intended to use this opportunity to do a favor, entrusting Li Yuan to Tang Gao, allowing Tang Gao to Cultivate a Dao Protector himself.

Li Yuan was able to be used as a pawn by that powerful being to conclude a matter, so he himself was still very talented and capable.

Moreover, he was related to the powerful being behind Tang Gao, so his Junior Brother could use him with peace of mind.

Of course, currently, there was a huge gap in talent compared to his Junior Brother, but he was still a good prospect.

This move seemed to trouble his Junior Brother, but in reality, it was a great gift to him.

Tang Gao smiled: “This is not difficult at all, Senior Brother. Leave it to me.”

It truly was like getting a pillow when you’re sleepy. Senior Brother was indeed shrewd and insightful, always looking out for him. He was truly too gentle and kind.

Tang Gao decided that when he grew stronger in the future, he could beat his Senior Brother one less time.
