Chapter 156: A Show of Power



Going to bed at around 2am and getting up at 9:30am was not enough sleep for Xiao Yu. So he was half-carried and half-pulled into bed by Zhou Yanzhi in a daze, and then ate breakfast in a daze.

After the other party helped him change into a formal suit that represented his status and went up to the rooftop, the biting cold wind blew, and he shuddered and finally woke up.

When Xiao Yu regained consciousness, the first thing he saw was a man with a face as stunning as a god, a figure as proud and upright as a pine tree, broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs. He had the aura and dignity of a man who was worshipped by all nations.

Xiao Yu swallowed unconsciously and thought to himself: ...What a treat this early in the morning!

Zhou Yanzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes full of smiles, and stretched out his hand and said, "Let's go, Director Xiao."

Xiao Yu: ...

Xiao Yu looked at the other person's epaulettes, and no matter how many times he looked at them, he was still shocked.

Such a young... This is fiction reflecting reality! No, given the other person's age, even novels wouldn't dare to write like this.

According to Wang Guohuai, this epaulette was not only an honor Zhou Yanzhi earned through his own ability, but also a special award from the country to help him turn the tide when he was stationed abroad.

but--

Except for those with special abilities, this "shoulder badge" does not participate in any national decision-making in the country.

Xiao Yu looked at his clothes. This time his honorary shoulder badges were no longer major, but colonel, which was his original rank as the director of the Monster Management Bureau.

The two of them found a camouflaged helicopter on the rooftop. After getting on the helicopter, Xiao Yu realized that the pilots this time were all wearing national uniforms.

In addition to the pilot and co-pilot, there were also twenty fully armed personnel in camouflage uniforms traveling with them.

Does the country place so much importance on ancient martial arts sects? A patriarch takes office, and they actually deploy fully armed soldiers? Is there going to be a live martial arts competition or something?

Xiao Yuzhen was a little surprised?

After all, China's "Fraud Bureau" was always so powerful. At least before he knew about his own success in cultivation and the supernatural power department, he had always believed that Chinese ancient martial arts were mainly for physical fitness, and more often than not, they were just like the online propaganda of "colorful clothes to entertain parents."

Xiao Yu thought about it carefully. In his previous life, he had only occasionally seen some people claiming to be the inheritors of ancient martial arts on the Internet. As for the others, no matter how hard he searched when writing novels, he couldn't find any.

The helicopter flew over Jiangcheng in less than twenty minutes and brought Xiao Yu and his group to a large lake where the surroundings were quiet and the wind was cold.

After getting off the plane, Xiao Yu realized that this was a pier. A pier with nothing but a lot of bamboo rafts with only poles parked there.

It seems that they need to take a bamboo raft like this to reach the center of the lake, or the other side of the lake.

Twenty well-trained, fully-armed soldiers boarded the bamboo raft, followed by Xiao Yu and Zhou Yanzhi. Just as they were about to leave the shore, they heard voices behind them.

Xiao Yu turned around and saw a group of more than ten people walking quickly towards him. Leading them was an old Taoist priest with gray hair and dressed in green, who was leading four Taoist priests.

The second row was a middle-aged woman wearing a long Tang suit, a plush cloak, and her hair was tied up. She led two young men in training clothes and four young women.

Behind him was a big monk in a cassock with several little monks.

Xiao Yu (⊙o⊙)? : Why is it so lively today? It's not like a martial arts conference, with all the martial arts sects gathering together, right?

Zhou Yanzhi didn't even turn his head, the bamboo raft quickly left the shore and sailed into the lake like a fish swimming into the sea.

Xiao Yu: Don’t you want to wait a moment?

"Who's that person in front? Why did they just leave without even saying hello?" Relying on his powerful hearing, Xiao Yu heard the gossip coming from the shore. The person who spoke was a young woman from the second row.

"Shut up." The speaker was a young man traveling with us. His tone was so cold that it made people feel a little uneasy.

Xiao Yu-_-||: Where is the legendary senior brother caring for the junior sister?

"Du Hesong, why are you so fierce?"

"Shut up." The middle-aged woman said in a deep voice. The young woman seemed to be grumbling and unconvinced. Then she heard the middle-aged woman say, "Du Mingxi, open your eyes and see clearly. Those people in front are wearing national uniforms. If you continue like this, go back now. I will call your father myself."

"What's wrong with the national uniform?" the young woman was unconvinced. "Why should I be afraid of any random person wearing a national uniform? My father, my brother, and our Du family are specially invited by the Special Operations Department of the H Province Military Region..."

"Shut up." The middle-aged woman was tired and said embarrassedly to the old Taoist priest and the monk who looked over, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself in front of you, Taoist priest and master. My niece has become a little bit crooked after being raised abroad for so many years."

The big monk smiled and said, "Donor Du, that's not the case. If I'm not mistaken, that person should be... Let's keep a low profile this time."

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Who is it?" The young woman Du Mingxi was obviously still very disdainful.

This time, the old Taoist priest and the big monk did not stay any longer, but each got on a bamboo raft and quickly left the shore.

Du Mingxi looked at the old Taoist priest and the big monk and left without caring about anything. His eyes widened in surprise: "Why did they leave?"

The middle-aged woman sneered, "Did you see that? What's wrong with the Du family? In the entire country of China, the Du family is not even worth a scallion. What you think of as a wealthy family is just some people giving face to the Du family for the sake of the country. You look down on those who wear national uniforms, but you just rely on those who wear national uniforms. If your father and your brother lost that status, what would you be? What would the entire Du family be?"

"How is that possible? My mother said that our Du family is now the local tyrant in H Province. If I come back, I will be equivalent to a foreign princess."
