First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!-Chapter 775: More Than a Dozen God-Ascension and Soul-Refining Powerhouses All Kneel Before a Mobile Phone!

Do you really think we don't dare to teach you a lesson?

Every single person present here is, at the very least, at the God Ascension realm.

Each one is more ruthless than the last.

If you gather all these people in one place and throw Old Long in there, he wouldn't even make a splash.

Forget about being ganged up on. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Even if he faced any one of them alone, no matter which one, Old Long wouldn't gain the slightest advantage.

It's the same old saying.

In a place like the new city, where the water is shallow and turtles are many, you can find bosses everywhere.

Hanjing, as the capital of Great Han, has depths that are simply unimaginable.

But Lu Ding, who was on the phone, wasn't afraid of these things in the slightest.

These people are, at most, swimming in the water.

But Elder Shui, he's the old, formidable one sitting on the mountain.

Great Han's Mountain Vulture is no joke.

"Enough!!"

He roared.

The scene fell into an eerie silence for a moment.

It wasn't that they recognized Lu Ding's identity, but rather, their gazes shifted.

'Where did this little bastard come from? In front of so many seniors and great powers, does he even have the right to speak up?'

It was pure astonishment.

Although they didn't know Lu Ding, they knew Fu Xinghe.

Since Lu Ding could stand together with a junior like Fu Xinghe, who was within the Fifth Restriction, at most he had some background; his cultivation couldn't be profound.

But if it was just a background, even at its peak, they would only give him a few more glances; they wouldn't be intimidated.

Someone rolled up his sleeves: "Come on, come on, you speak. I want to see what you're good at. If you can't give a proper explanation today, then don't blame us for teaching you, this little whelp, a lesson on behalf of your elders!"

Lu Ding was stunned.

Holy shit.

Hanjing really is something else.

This was the first time he had ever heard someone wanting to teach him a lesson.

Secretary Qiu on the other end of the phone heard it too.

He said quietly, "Elder Shui is right beside me. I need to go out to handle something now. You talk to him."

As his words fell.

When the voice came through again from the other side, it started off very gentle and kind: "Lu Ding."

Then, with an authority that didn't need anger: "Put it on speakerphone."

Lu Ding listened, took the phone down, and tapped the speakerphone button.

"You little whelp from the Qiu family, who are you calling a little whelp!?"

This voice was highly distinctive. The moment it sounded, it was full of pressure.

Even though the person wasn't present.

But the voice was, and the shadowy images from those past years instantly surfaced in the minds of these people.

You have to understand, more than half of these people weren't originally from Hanjing.

Later on, Elder Shui and his group of old comrades went out to conquer territory, then selected local 'knives, guns, and cannons' and forced them to relocate to Hanjing to promote the city's development.

To put it bluntly, they were captives, captured and brought back.

This also led to the current situation where, among the various large and small families in Hanjing, aside from a small minority that developed on their own later, the vast majority were originally the 'local feudal lords', the local 'knives, guns, and cannons' from various places.

Not a single one was easy to deal with.

They just couldn't win, had no choice, and also had families to consider, or were smart people with the capability to cooperate.

But no matter how awesome they were before.

Now, hearing Elder Shui's voice, they all had to tremble.

That 'little whelp from the Qiu family' mentioned by Elder Shui, a proper God Ascension Ninth Layer cultivator, knelt right there with a *click*, facing the phone.

He stammered, his face pale with fear: "Sec... Second Granduncle..."

Of course, he wasn't actually related to Elder Shui.

'Second Granduncle' was just a term of respect.

As for who the 'Granduncle' was...

As this person knelt, a series of *pili-pala* sounds followed as those beside him knelt one after another. An outsider might have thought it was ancestor worship or New Year greetings.

Voices rose one after another.

"Sec... Second Granduncle..."

"Second Granduncle, you're not resting?"

"Second Granduncle, we didn't know this was someone from your family."

"This is like the flood washing over the Dragon King's temple—a family feud. Please don't be angry. I'll go back and slap myself."

"Hehehe, Second Granduncle, have you eaten? I knew at first glance that this little... young Second Granduncle resembled you. I was coming over to invite him to my place for a meal."

Shameless and thick-skinned, each one facing the phone, their faces practically splitting with smiles.

This speed of changing faces was unmatched, with not a shred of a powerhouse's demeanor.

No wonder they got the chance to survive under Elder Shui and even moved to Hanjing to live more comfortably.

They were all shrewd people.

The only ones who didn't kneel were the people from the Hanjing 749 Bureau Southern Branch.

Within the system, they didn't follow these customs.

As for the others kneeling, that was their personal choice. Great Han valued human rights and couldn't forcibly interfere with others' personal freedom.

So, the people from the Hanjing 749 Bureau Southern Branch all looked up at the sky, standing properly and honestly.

In contrast, those who knelt were all restless with their eyes, frequently shifting their gaze between Lu Ding's face and the phone screen.

'Didn't Second Granduncle have no descendants?'

'Yeah, I'm puzzled too.'

'Could there be some hidden story?'

'Don't rush, don't rush. Didn't I just test it? If this young man really has a connection with Second Granduncle, then Second Granduncle wouldn't deny my 'young Second Granduncle' remark. If not, given Second Granduncle's temper, he would absolutely not allow such a case of a fox borrowing the tiger's might.'

'That sounds nice. Weren't you just correcting a slip of the tongue?'

'Go to hell! As long as Second Granduncle isn't angry, this is my strategy!'

Everyone also awaited Elder Shui's response.

But Elder Shui didn't speak.

Lu Ding knew this meant the stage was handed over to him.

He pointed at Old Long and said to the crowd, "Apologize."

One moment, Long Chen was still immersed in the shock of Elder Shui's appearance, hearing his idol's voice again, his eyes teary and blurred, thrilled!!!

The next moment, another shock hit!

Sp... Special Envoy Lu, relying on Elder Shui's pressure, actually wanted so many powerhouses to apologize to him...

Was he worthy...

Hot tears involuntarily streamed from the corners of his eyes.

Moved, excited.

In that era, how many cultivators in Great Han didn't regard Elder Shui as an idol?

Expanding territories, riding in fine clothes on spirited horses, one man suppressing a city, one man suppressing a nation. It's not to say that only Elder Shui contributed to today's Great Han, but in that era overflowing with achievements, Elder Shui's accomplishments were particularly dazzling.

Under the hawkish faction's outward expansion, Great Han spread from a single point, like fucking cancer cells, utterly uncontrollable, beating the surrounding areas until they howled.

Since Elder Shui and that group's time.

Great Han never again produced individuals as extraordinarily talented and brilliant as that group.

One could perhaps say that later, Great Han gradually stabilized, with no chaotic times to produce heroes.

But now, the Lu Ding in Long Chen's eyes, in a daze, gradually overlapped in his mind with the back view of Elder Shui he had seen in earlier years.

Beside him was also Fu Xinghe.

Gradually, Long Chen felt he might be seeing the embryonic form of a new generation of the hawkish faction.

Little did he know, this wasn't an embryonic form, but Lu Ding's core team. Those who hadn't arrived hadn't arrived; those in the new city were in the new city.

Once gathered, they would be unstoppable, each showing their own brilliance!

Long Chen wiped his tears: "It's not necessary."

Everyone knows each other; they've all had interactions.

But his words, unsaid would have been better. Once said.

Those people instantly became agitated. Isn't this just adding fuel to the fire?

Although they knew Long Chen meant well, wanting to save face for everyone.

But now wasn't the time for good intentions!

"How can it be unnecessary? We're good brothers. We drank together thirty years ago. Today, as your younger brother, I was in the wrong. I apologize to you."

"Old brother Long, I'm a bit older than you, yet I spoke such nonsense in a moment of excitement. Sorry, sorry. I apologize to you."

Some even gave themselves a few slaps. Although it caused no real harm, it absolutely gave enough face.

"What is sincerity? This is sincerity. Long Chen, today we were in the wrong. Although slapping my own face is a bit excessive, I'm a principled person. A one-point offense must be compensated tenfold. Don't take it to heart. This is just my personality!"
