"Then you should ask them right away."

The governor also rejected the claim that he was self-taught. Like Gu Shiqian, he believed that Tang Qingyun and the others had inadvertently helped Sang Ning clear his meridians.

The truth is that their perception was wrong.

Knowing the whole story, Tang Qingyun and the others were completely bewildered. Looking at the blazing sun in the sky and then at the yellow sand under their feet, they held back for a while but finally couldn't resist bending down and grabbing a handful of sand.

The scalding sand was burning hot to the touch; the heat emanating from it was real.

The group of people let go with blank expressions, and the sand flowed to the ground like water, returning to the sand family.

Tang Qingyun asked expressionlessly, "Are you sure Sang Ning has learned martial arts?"

"I'm sure. If you don't believe me, look at the big screen in the live stream."

Gu Shiqian adjusted his position so that Tang Qingyun and the others could clearly see the large screen in the live broadcast room.

Tang Qingyun and the others just happened to see Sang Ning grabbing a tree branch and turning in the air, and they were all instantly stunned.

"When did Xiao Ningzi learn martial arts?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Shiqian and the governor realized that they hadn't helped to clear Sang Ning's meridians.

But the two were still unwilling to give up, and said in unison, "Didn't you help Xiao Ningzi clear his meridians?"

Tang Qingyun and the others were speechless.

"If we had this ability, the position of governor would not have fallen to Lao Qi in the first place."

Tang Qingyun retorted irritably, which enraged the governor.

"I don't listen to your nonsense. Do you think I want to be the governor?"

"It was all you guys who snatched the other positions first, leaving me only the position of consul, forcing me into the position. Now it's like I stole it."

"I'm just asking you, do you even have any shame?"

"Can't you have any shame?"

While he seemed eager to be a consul, he was extremely reluctant, as he had no money, no future, and was burdened with a mountain of responsibilities.

He's been a ruler for so many years, and he's been shameless all of that.

After all, the Qi family was one of the pioneers. How could a legitimate descendant of the Qi family stoop to putting on a show of crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide at the entrance of the centralized office building of the Central Star? Did he have no shame or dignity?

All the grievances and bitterness of the past years suddenly welled up, and the governor couldn't hold back his emotions and burst into tears.

Tears streamed down my face.

Gu Shiqian and the others were utterly exasperated. Tang Qingyun even complained, "You're so old and you're still crying. Can't you be a little more mature?"

"If I'm not capable, then you be the governor. You have no idea how much pressure I'm under. Anyone can make sarcastic remarks."

Without a second thought, the governor retorted. Gu Shiqian and the others, knowing his temper was flaring up again, immediately said, "We were wrong! Can you please forgive us this time?"

"no."

The consul was unforgiving, saying, "Unless you take turns being the consul."

Upon hearing this, Gu Shiqian and his group decided to give up.

"No way. Cry all you want, but we'll talk business afterwards."

Consul, "..."

The governor was furious and sent Sang Ning a special effects-filled comment, looking aggrieved.

"Xiao Ningzi, they're all bullying me."

With a thud, Sang Ning, quite startled, missed her grip and fell to the ground. She quickly flipped to her feet, her forehead covered in black lines, and said, "Uncle Gu, Aunt Tang, Uncle Zhou... Uncle Ming, please be more considerate of Uncle Qi."

Gu Shiqian replied, "Focus on your competition and ignore Lao Qi. He's going through menopause. Just make money and we won't bother you anymore."

The governor struggled frantically, but his mouth was covered and his arms and body were restrained. He was powerless to struggle and could only watch helplessly as Gu Shiqian left Sang Ning's live broadcast room.

Seeing this, Tang Qingyun and the others let go, and the governor, now free, angrily said, "Are you all sick? I haven't even asked Xiao Ningzi what her martial arts are all about."

"Who cares what's going on? As long as it works, it's better than it doesn't."

Gu Shiqian came to terms with it. Sang Ning's martial arts skills were a good thing for both of them. In this technological age, martial arts might not be as effective.

At least martial artists who haven't reached the extraordinary level can't withstand attacks from firearms.

But as I said before, it's better to know than not to know.

At least he has good balance, a light physique, and great strength. When he returns, he'll be good at hard labor, finding oases, and killing sandworms.

Good.

Therefore, it doesn't matter where you learn it or how you learn it, as long as you can do it.

In any case, the mental cultivation techniques are all in the box. Maybe Xiao Ningzi really is a gifted individual who has become self-taught.

Thinking this way, Gu Shiqian felt instantly relieved. Seeing that Lao Qi was still unhappy and muttering to himself about going into Sang Ning's live stream to complain again.

Gu Shiqian stopped the people, and then used this argument to successfully persuade not only the governor, but also Tang Qingyun and the others.

Sang Ning was completely unaware of all this; at that moment, she was busy dealing with the audience.

The appearance of the consul aroused the interest of the audience who were looking for entertainment.

The governor hadn't appeared for almost half a year. If it weren't for the occasional uploads and releases of their findings on planet E72 by several relevant units, such as the Human History Research Center, they would have thought that planet E72 didn't exist.

Now that the governor of planet E72 has reappeared in the live stream, the audience's enthusiasm has been instantly ignited. Even though the governor has gone offline, not only Sang Ning saw the comment he posted, but the audience also saw it.

So, adopting the persona of an onlooker, they began asking a barrage of questions.

The governor is the highest-ranking official on a planet, practically the planet's governor. This is puzzling; how can anyone dare to bully him? Sang Ning, tell me what's going on!

I am a rather simple and unpretentious person, and also a wise being who has transcended base and vulgar tastes.

Unlike the gossipy comments upstairs, I'm more interested in what the officials have been doing for the past six months, and why they only log on once every so long.

I couldn't even talk to him, so I have to give this a bad review.

[You think you can just leave a bad review because you bought something from an online store? This is the governor of planet E72! Please respect the governor's dignity as the planet's leader. If he's not online, something must be wrong.]

[What happened? To be precise, something made them forget about Sang Ning! Don't forget, Sang Ning represented the entire planet E72 when she came to participate in the survival competition on the desolate planet.]

Sang Ning, who was busy on her way, did not intend to pay attention to the audience's questions at first, but when this bullet screen representing planet E72 appeared, she realized that she could no longer remain silent and let them speculate on their own.

Otherwise, the speculation would only get more and more outrageous, so he emphasized, "You've got it wrong, I don't represent planet E72, and don't just throw accusations at me."

An individual is neither qualified nor capable of representing a whole.

"I'm competing for myself, not for anyone else. Seriously, can you guys stop talking nonsense?"
