"Dad! Wake up! As long as you wake up, I'll do whatever you say! It's just going to the Xiaoyao Sect for the assessment, right? I'll do whatever you say."
Mu Wanzhou looked at her father lying motionless on the ground, her eyes filled with tears, and she called out in a choked voice.
He held his father's hands tightly, his face full of grief, constantly blaming himself for not protecting his father and letting him lie dead in the street.
Just then, Mu Tingchuan, who was pretending to be dead, heard his son's words and was overjoyed, but he still pretended to be weak and just woke up.
He slowly opened his eyes and weakly called out, "Son!"
Mu Wanzhou's crying stopped abruptly, and she exclaimed with delight, "Dad! That's great! You're awake!"
Mu Tingchuan gripped Mu Wanzhou's hand tightly and said, "Dad's fine, I just twisted my ankle! I heard everything you said! You said you were willing to participate in the Xiaoyao Sect's assessment!"
Mu Wanzhou looked uneasy and said in a low voice, "Dad, can we go back and talk about this? We're on the street here!"
Mu Tingchuan knew exactly what his son was thinking; he was about to back out now that he was alright. So he pretended to be weak and said:
"Ahem! Dad's doing this all for your own good. You know, times have changed. Who still does those electronic network engineering projects... ahem... you have to change too! ahem!"
Mu Wanzhou quickly helped her father pat his back to help him catch his breath, and then readily agreed.
"Okay, Dad, I'll do whatever you say. Let's go back and take our medicine, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Tingchuan realized there was hope and secretly admired Brother Xie's reliable plan.
So he sprang to his feet and said to his dumbfounded son, "What medicine do you need? Your dad is perfectly healthy. Just don't forget what you just promised your dad."
After saying that, Mu Tingchuan quickly stepped forward, grabbed the middle-aged man who had just spoken, pushed through the crowd, and walked away excitedly.
Mu Wanzhou's face darkened: ...I've been tricked by my dad again!
The onlookers dispersed.
Jiang Wanwan was surprised to see Mu Tingchuan pretending to faint in the street to deceive his son. She was somewhat surprised, but more curious than anything else.
However, she seemed to have just heard him say that his son was involved in electronic network engineering, which piqued her interest in this young man.
So, she led Yan Ziyan a few steps to Mu Wanzhou, who was looking extremely remorseful.
"Are you President Mu's son?" Jiang Wanwan asked softly, her tone tinged with curiosity and inquiry.
Mu Wanzhou heard a familiar and sweet voice, looked up blankly, and met Jiang Wanwan's gaze.
Those eyes were like deep lake water, clear and bright, and the long eyelashes trembled slightly like butterfly wings, adding to their liveliness and playfulness.
When she gazed at herself, her eyes seemed to sparkle with light, like the brightest star in the night sky, captivating all who looked upon her.
This is the sect leader of the Xiaoyao Sect. She looks even more beautiful in person than in the video. Mu Wanzhou was so captivated by her radiant face that she remained lost in thought for a long time.
Yan Ziyan frowned slightly as he watched the young man staring intently at Jiang Wanwan, a hint of displeasure rising in his heart.
So she stepped forward to block his view and said coldly, "You are Mu Wanzhou, President Mu's son?"
Mu Wanzhou then snapped out of his daze and realized his lapse in composure. He quickly lowered his head to hide his inner turmoil.
But at the same time, he couldn't help but steal a glance at Jiang Wanwan, secretly marveling at her beauty.
"Hmm! May I ask if you are the sect leader of the Free and Unfettered Sect?"
Mu Wanzhou tentatively asked.
Jiang Wanwan pulled Yan Ziyan behind her, then nodded slightly to Mu Wanzhou and said, "I heard from your dad that you work in electronic network engineering! If a problem like this occurs, are you capable of fixing it?"
Mu Wanzhou took the paper from Jiang Wanwan and examined it carefully.
The contents of the paper surprised him somewhat, as it only covered some simple tasks related to the construction, maintenance, and management of electronic networks.
He secretly rejoiced, knowing these things weren't difficult for him. So, he smiled and nodded, replying, "Of course it can be fixed!"
Upon hearing this answer, Jiang Wanwan and Yan Ziyan exchanged a glance, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes. They couldn't help but exclaim, "What we've been searching for has come to us without any effort!"
Jiang Wanwan cleared her throat and asked cautiously, "So, are you qualified to work in the Imperial Palace?"
Mu Wanzhou was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, wondering if he had misheard. He stared wide-eyed at Jiang Wanwan and asked again, "What did you just say?"
Jiang Wanwan patiently explained, "Actually, I need someone to go to a specific place to help them set up a network and be responsible for its daily maintenance."
Mu Wanzhou was attracted by Jiang Wanwan's sweet and charming voice and her captivating appearance. Without much thought, she nodded and accepted the job without hesitation.
However, when he followed Jiang Wanwan to the Earthly Palace, he almost collapsed on the spot. Was it too late for him to regret it?
The one who came to greet Jiang Wanwan and her companion this time was still the same Black Impermanence with a green face and fangs. He was wearing a black robe with strange runes embroidered on it, and when it fluttered in the wind, it seemed as if a chilling aura was emanating from it.
His face was sinister, and his eyes, gleaming with a cold light, sent chills down one's spine. This time, he held a black mourning staff in his hand, covered with runes, indicating he had just returned from working.
"We are so sorry to have failed to greet you properly, esteemed gentlemen, on your arrival in the underworld!"
Black Impermanence wore a formulaic, sinister smile, his tone remaining respectful and polite.
“Lord Hei, I’ve found an electronics network expert and would like him to do an internship in the Underworld to see if he can handle the work there.” As Jiang Wanwan spoke, she pushed the trembling Mu Wanzhou in front of her.
"that……"
Just as Mu Wanzhou was about to say that she was not up to the job, she heard the big, blue-faced, fanged man opposite her say:
"This person does possess some cultivation, so working in the underworld won't shorten his lifespan. Let him start as an intern! We work five days a week and have two days off. His salary can be converted into spirit stones or other items. Once he becomes a full-time employee, we will also purchase insurance for him."
Mu Wanzhou muttered to himself, "The underworld actually has insurance?" Suppressing his fear, he mustered his courage and asked, "Lord Hei, may I ask what kind of coverage this insurance provides?"
Black Impermanence answered succinctly, "This is of course to ensure his lifespan. If he unfortunately dies in an accident one day, the underworld will give him a corresponding lifespan as compensation! If his lifespan has been exhausted, there is no need to worry. He will have priority in choosing when he is reincarnated! Moreover, if he performs well in his work in the underworld, it may even benefit his family!"
Mu Wanzhou: I'm a little tempted!
