Chapter 91 Times Have Changed
The players' rest area.
Liu Wukui was standing in front of Ma Xianhong with his head down.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Master. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have used so many magical artifacts during the competition. If it weren't for me, the Celestial Master's Mansion wouldn't have issued that restriction notice."
Ma Xianhong reached out and touched Liu Wukui's hair, saying nonchalantly, "Kui'er, don't worry about it. This has nothing to do with you. Even without you, what's meant to be will come."
Ma Xianhong knew that the new restriction notice issued by the Celestial Master's Mansion was aimed at him.
Ma Xianhong was already mentally prepared for being targeted.
Although the Luo Tian Grand Ritual attracted many outsiders due to the presence of anonymous guests, the organizer was still the Celestial Master's Mansion itself.
The Celestial Master's Mansion certainly wouldn't let an outsider win the championship on their turf so easily.
For Ma Xianhong, the most important reason for regaining his past memories is to find his missing grandfather and clansmen.
Winning this championship would be ideal, because it would give me the chance to find out directly where my grandfather and my clansmen went.
If they couldn't get them, Ma Xianhong already had some leads on where to look for them.
Ever since his phone call with Qu Tong, Ma Xianhong had a voice in his heart that kept telling him this.
His most trusted sister may have been lying to him all along.
Ma Xianhong realized that he hadn't noticed all along that his sister was the strangest person among all the questions.
His sister must know the specific details about his clansmen, but he can't contact Qu Tong at all right now, so he has no way to question her.
Furthermore, according to the video description, Qu Tong's two hands possess the ability to rewrite cognition.
If she really was the mastermind behind the harm he suffered, his perception of her would have been completely altered by now.
But he is still a complete person with genuine emotions.
Therefore, Ma Xianhong was still willing to believe in his sister a little longer, at least Qu Tong was definitely not the one who really attacked them in the whole incident.
More importantly, during the opening ceremony, he had already asked high-ranking officials to help him find his family.
As long as they live in this country, the traces of so many people's existence will never be erased!
With the government's resources, we can definitely find them.
"Grandpa, believe me, I will find you soon."
……
Headquarters of Nadutong.
Zhao Fangxu convened all the company's directors.
"Next, I will convey a verbal request from above: we are asked to help find Comrade Ma Xianhong's missing family members."
"Comrade Ma Xianhong? Chairman Zhao, this is...?"
Bi Youlong looked at Zhao Fangxu, who was at the head of the table, with a puzzled expression, wondering what he meant.
“Ma Xianhong joined our Party while he was in college. He has always been an outstanding young man of our Party. Not long ago, he reached some technical cooperation agreements with the military. The organization attaches great importance to Ma Xianhong’s personal situation and hopes that we can help him find his missing family members.”
Upon hearing this, Bi Youlong immediately shut his mouth.
Are you kidding me? What problem could I possibly have?
I wholeheartedly agree!
"Chairman Fei, please contact Gao Lian later and ask him to use Er Zhuang's abilities to search for information about Ma Xianhong's family nationwide. I will send you photos of Ma Xianhong's family later, and Er Zhuang's access to the Tianyan system will also be granted."
"Does anyone have any further questions?"
Seeing that no one spoke, Zhao Fangxu nodded, "Then the meeting is adjourned."
After watching everyone leave, Zhao Fangxu leaned back wearily in his chair.
Zhao Fangxu realized that he had been dealing with supernatural beings for so long that he had forgotten some common sense questions.
This is no longer an era where extraordinary individuals need to hide themselves. He never expected that Ma Xianhong would bypass them and directly establish cooperation with people at a higher level.
He was so focused on the foreign leaders of the supernatural organization at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony that he completely forgot to attend Ma Xianhong's conversation with the high-ranking officials.
Now that higher-ups have intervened, Ma Xianhong is no longer someone they can control.
Zhao Fangxu was also aware that Nadutong's recent self-inspection had not truly eradicated all the hidden problems within the company.
There must be another big fish among the company's board members.
The reason he revealed Ma Xianhong's matter in front of them was so that he would inform Qu Tong privately.
Tell Qu Tong to stop trying to control Ma Xianhong.
The reason the higher-ups sent him to assist in the search was to tell him this matter. Otherwise, they wouldn't need to help find someone at all. With the Sky Eye system activated, who wouldn't be able to find someone?
Even the company's internal documents contained information about Ma Xianhong's family!
Zhao Fangxu originally intended to use it when he collaborated with Ma Xianhong later, but now it's no longer needed.
Times have changed.
With the full exposure of the Extraordinary Ones, they are no longer something a single company can control.
Zhao Fangxu knew that the higher-ups were planning to add new departments to more comprehensively manage the superhumans.
"Alas, these are turbulent times. It seems the company is not far from dissolution."
……
Longhu Mountain.
Gong Qing's undercover career was not smooth.
Since Qin Le's video was exposed, he realized that all those years he had spent there had been basically wasted.
Although he had confirmed that Tian Jinzhong had indeed learned some special secrets from Zhang Huaiyi, now not only did he know, but the whole world knew.
After three years of hard work and lying low, Gong Qing finally became a junior Taoist disciple by Tian Jinzhong's side, but he was stripped of his job after the video was exposed!
For Tian Jinzhong's safety, Zhang Zhiwei demoted Gong Qing, a Taoist priest who had just entered the sect and whose combat strength was practically nonexistent, and assigned another, older disciple to serve Tian Jinzhong.
Having lost his hands and feet, Tian Jinzhong is unable to do many things and needs his disciples' help.
Previously, the people inside the sect only thought that Tian Jinzhong was a useless old man, and no one was willing to stay by his side to clean up his excrement and urine.
Tian Jinzhong did not want to use his status to force the disciples of the Celestial Master's Mansion to serve him. As a result, the task of taking care of Tian Jinzhong was fortunately snatched away by Gong Qing, a young Taoist novice who had just entered the sect.
However, as Tian Jinzhong's past was revealed, especially his refusal to reveal anything even after his hands and feet were cut off to protect his junior brother Zhang Huaiyi's secret.
A large number of disciples in the Celestial Master's Mansion regarded Tian Jinzhong as an object of worship!
This job, which no one wanted to do before, suddenly became highly sought after.
Gong Qing, a novice Taoist with insufficient skills, was dismissed. Zhang Zhiwei, mindful of Gong Qing's care for Tian Jinzhong for three years, transferred him to Liang Fuguo's side to learn the Celestial Master's Mansion techniques under his tutelage.
Gong Qing still remembers what Maeda Jinchu said to him when he left.
"Xiao Qing, I know you've always wanted to learn the Golden Light Mantra with your senior brothers instead of taking care of this old man. Don't worry, I've already spoken to them, and they'll arrange for Junior Nephew Liang to personally teach you the Golden Light Mantra later! You'd better study hard."
