Chapter 124: Layout, Can Diwu Qingrou Be Deceived?
“Uh… cough cough cough…” Chen Yutong was sweating heavily. It must be said that this number was simply too low. The Heaven's Secret Hall had been extremely busy lately, and when Chu Yang assigned this task, Chen Yutong thought it wasn't very important and merely mentioned it casually. Now, she was tasting the bitter fruit of her negligence...
“You all from the Heaven's Secret Hall, before accompanying the Fiery Blood Hall on this mission, report everyone's cultivation level to me,” Chu Yang said淡淡地. “When the mission is over, I want to see every person from the Heaven's Secret Hall improve by one rank; if even one person fails to improve, Hall Master Chen, I will gather all the old and new members of the Butian Pavilion and make you strip naked and dance on the stage to celebrate.”
“Ah?!” Chen Yutong was instantly dumbfounded, crying out, “Your Royal Highness, please don’t do this…”
“That’s settled; you can go now,” Chu Yang decisively concluded. He turned to Wu Qianqian and said, “Immediately spread this message. In half a month, let’s see Hall Master Chen dance.”
Wu Qianqian suppressed her laughter, agreed, and stood up to leave.
“Oh, Miss Wu, Grandma…” Chen Yutong was so anxious that beads of sweat were popping out from her face, “Chu Your Highness, Chu Grandpa… you can't be so cruel… how can I take charge of this?”
“Get moving!” Chu Yang looked at the documents in front of him, his demeanor unperturbed. Wu Qianqian hurriedly exited.
“Chu Your Highness… woo woo…” Chen Yutong was truly crying. Was the elevation of martial arts ranks something I could control?
“I believe in you; you can do it,” Chu Yang said confidently. Then he glared and added, “If you say one more word, I will make you dance now!”
“…” Chen Yutong's impending plea was swallowed back, her gaze filled with resentment, much like a lady in a secluded chamber, mouth agape as she stared at Chu Yang, finally letting her head droop in despair...
After a while, a loud bang resonated through the courtyard, causing an uproar. Obviously, everyone had learned of this news.
When Chen Yutong walked out with a dark face, everyone in the Heaven's Secret Hall sensed a storm brewing.
“From now on, the training intensity for everyone in the Heaven's Secret Hall will be increased tenfold! In half a month, if even one person hasn’t broken through their rank, then I will personally make a fool of myself, and none of you will get off easy!” Chen Yutong gritted her teeth, nearly going mad.
“Ah… how can this be…” Immediately, the Heaven's Secret Hall was filled with cries of despair, everyone looking as if they had lost their mothers. Cheng Ziang led the members of the Fiery Blood Hall, standing aside with their arms crossed, laughing with eyes sparkling.
Cheng Ziang looked at his Fiery Blood subordinates, revealing a look of confusion, “Hmm, tell me, do you think Hall Master Chen’s bottom is white?”
“Do you even need to ask? Of course, it’s white.”
“Not necessarily. I think Hall Master Chen’s face is quite black…”
“Tch, you clearly don’t understand. The face is the face, the bottom is the bottom… they are two different things.”
“So you mean Hall Master Chen’s face isn’t her bottom?” Cheng Ziang stroked his chin, deep in thought.
“Hall Master is indeed wise, managing to ponder such a profound question immediately…”
“Not at all, ha ha ha…”
“Wonder if Hall Master Chen has hemorrhoids…” Cheng Ziang stroked his chin, lost in thought...
“Haha…” Several assassins from the Fiery Blood Hall were holding their stomachs, laughing out loud.
Chen Yutong stormed off with a group of Heaven's Secret Hall intelligence personnel who looked as if they were mourning their mothers. Almost immediately, the courtyard of the Heaven's Secret Hall echoed with wails akin to ghostly cries...
At the entrance of the main hall, a cold, ferocious mask appeared at the doorway.
