Chapter 236 Humans are multifaceted
"My information is baseless and without evidence, so I can't prove whether what I'm saying is reliable or not. However, I've already told you all what I wanted to say, and I believe you all understand. I didn't expect you to be able to find out who this person or those people are in a short time, but... hehehe..."
In fact, Li Muyang didn't mean anything by it. He just wanted to say that if Chen Duo didn't cause any serious harm during this period and was willing to return to the company afterward, then the company could use a special undercover mission as an excuse to let Chen Duo return to Na Du Tong and continue to work as a temporary employee.
Of course, this decision depends on Chen Duo herself. If she is unwilling, Li Muyang has a way to accept her. However, her treatment at Na Du Tong will naturally not be the same as before. Before, it was out of necessity, and the company definitely used Chen Duo as a tool. This was an inevitable situation.
Otherwise, the company wouldn't have spent so much money to treat someone who seemed to have no chance of recovery.
Zhao Fangxu was also somewhat moved: "I never expected Mr. Li to care so much about Chen Duo!"
Li Muyang chuckled and replied, "It's just a doctor's compassion. Anyone would pity Chen Duo for what she went through. Besides, I have a few friends who are from the Southern Frontier. They understand the existence of the Gu-body Saint Child better and know how cruel and inhumane their methods are."
No joke, the value of the Wind Spirit Jade Show World Insect Valley is still increasing!
If Nan Ying and Nan Sheng knew that someone in this world had actually created a Gu-body Saint Child, they would probably travel thousands of miles to destroy him!
Having roughly understood Li Muyang's meaning, Zhao Fangxu breathed a sigh of relief. He was no longer as resistant to accepting Chen Duo back as before. On the contrary, he even hoped that Chen Duo could return to the company. In that case, at least he would have a relationship with Li Muyang.
Zhao Fangxu was unwilling to offend Li Muyang too much, as he was a young, capable man who understood human relationships, especially since they currently did not have any particularly suitable means to deal with him.
From the current perspective, Li Muyang is willing to maintain a balanced and stable state, which is a good thing for Nadutong. If Li Muyang completely disregards the company's interests and only cares about doing good deeds and treating Chen Duo, then he would truly have offended the company.
In a sense, Li Muyang's behavior is somewhat similar to wanting to open a skylight and then directly suggesting to lift the roof! Especially since Old Li actually has the ability to lift the roof! Now, by lowering his stance and saying that he can just open a skylight, it is naturally easier to gain Zhao Fangxu's approval.
As for this causing the company to be wary... Hmph, anyway, the company was already quite wary of Li Muyang, and that hasn't changed much. The current situation is actually taking advantage of that wariness.
After exchanging a few polite words with Zhao Fangxu, who said that a word was enough to get him to visit anywhere, and that this was all part of social etiquette, Li Muyang hung up the phone, earning a deadpan stare from the pseudo-loli beside him.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Don't be obsessed, I'm just a legend." Li Muyang confidently flicked his bangs.
Ai rolled her eyes: "You're quite adept at dealing with these politicians."
“Hey! Watch your words.” Li Muyang emphasized, “Chairman Zhao and the others can’t be called politicians, but people’s entrepreneurs! They are all working hard for the prosperity and long-term stability of the Dragon Kingdom. As for Chen Duo’s matter, they may have had the intention of using Chen Duo, but it was indeed the most humane way to handle it.”
"Then why did you say there was a mole among them?" Ai retorted with dead fish eyes.
Li Muyang smiled wickedly: "Hehe, people are multifaceted beings, and undercover agents are not necessarily bad people. Does that mean the undercover agents in the winery are all bad people?"
Ai's eyes widened: "How can these be the same?"
"Why is it different?" Li Muyang spread his hands: "The existence of undercover agents is a mistake in itself, but it cannot be simply distinguished as good or bad. Some are due to different positions. Board members are also human, and they will inevitably have various needs. As long as they do not do anything that actually harms the company's interests, then it is not considered betrayal!"
"Moreover, the matter behind Ma Xianhong is too far-reaching. I didn't expect Zhao Fangxu and the others to find out anything. They themselves understand that they can't really conclude that there is a mole within the team based on just one sentence from me. That would easily undermine the unity of the team. They are just being a little more vigilant! These cunning foxes from Na Du Tong are not as simple as they seem on the surface!"
"Then why did you tell them about this? Aren't you afraid of getting involved yourself..." Ai muttered in surprise.
Li Muyang ruffled the girl's hair, revealing a sly smile: "What? Concerned about me?"
Ai raised an eyebrow. "Stop being a jerk, okay? I still prefer your serious look from earlier!"
"Don't worry, although I don't know who the undercover agent is, I know who the mastermind is!" Li Muyang said with a wicked smile, "If they really dare to cause me trouble, then I'll go directly to settle accounts with the big boss behind the scenes!"
Xiao Ai clicked her tongue in amazement, then realized that she had been worrying unnecessarily. This guy was the one who truly controlled the situation, and his seemingly illogical behavior was actually due to his confidence.
It's not just about strength, but also about intelligence and other factors.
"What if they don't do what you expect and actually cause you trouble? For example, they might target your other weaknesses in China?" Xiao Ai asked leisurely.
Li Muyang spread his hands again: "The problem is, I have no weaknesses in the Dragon Kingdom! Have you forgotten that I'm not even from this world! The only connection I have is Zhang Xuanlin from the Dao School, but my principal... hehehe, he's no ordinary person. If this mastermind dares to cause him trouble, then she'll probably be exposed prematurely!"
Zhang Xuanlin definitely has a secret. Even Li Muyang, after meeting Kudo Yusaku, wondered if this principal might be a reincarnation of some deity. Besides, his name sounds too similar to that of a certain celestial master!
Even if Li Muyang guessed wrong, his previous knowledge of Zhang Xuanlin's secrets was enough to make Qu Tong suffer! Her methods would be useless against him!
Because Zhang Xuanlin has powerful connections! His soul is protected by an unseen force!
Only to ensure absolute certainty did Li Muyang dare to tell the board of directors of Nadutong that there was a mole! Besides disgusting Nadutong and Qu Tong, it was also to make them wary of him.
Deterrence doesn't necessarily have to be force. If you only show force, you'll easily be underestimated by some old foxes!
In the days that followed, Li Muyang took Xiao Ai sightseeing. Occasionally, Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er would appear, along with Nan Ying and Nan Sheng... who were studying the "Huangdi Neijing" (Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic).
After all, they started cultivating a little later than Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er, and their talents were also slightly inferior. In addition, due to the Devil Fruit, Nan Ying and Nan Sheng's cultivation progress was much slower than theirs.
Under multiple influences, Li Muyang passed on the "Huangdi Neijing" to them.
This is a medical book, which is a good match for their professions and greatly helps their cultivation progress... but they are often in a state of cultivation, since their talent is not as monstrous as Li Muyang's, and their comprehension speed is not fast.
This already indicates that the Bodhi tree has helped people improve their understanding.
There's no way around it; cultivation is inherently a tough task, and even with cheat codes, you still need sufficient talent.
Especially during the accumulation phase, although Nan Ying and Nan Sheng have condensed their golden cores, they have not yet crossed the accumulation phase, so they still need a lot of time to cultivate diligently.
However, with the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic as their guide, once they have passed through the arduous training phase, they will be free to roam the vast sky and sea.
After wandering around for a while, we finally arrived at the foot of Longhu Mountain and saw a familiar figure.
"Hi~" Uesugi Erii waved and greeted him cheerfully.
Ai looked at Li Muyang. Is this the young lady of the Snake Clan?
Li Muyang was naturally delighted to greet him: "I was just about to ask you where you were. Turns out you were waiting for us at Longhu Mountain."
Erii pouted and complained, "How dare you say that? I've been waiting for you at the hotel at the foot of Longhu Mountain for days! And you only arrived today!"
"Haha..." Li Muyang scratched his head awkwardly. Actually, this world was closer to the scenery of his previous life, so Li Muyang wanted to explore it more.
As for this version of Earth, many landscapes have been drastically altered. Famous mountains and rivers like Longhu Mountain are now fraught with danger and exude a powerful pressure! Cultivators who want to enter them face immense pressure!
Only people from various major sects have been living there, including but not limited to these major Taoist sects, but most of them dare not go deep inside.
The three of them then went up the mountain together.
After buying tickets for Longhu Mountain, I was about to go in when I heard a group of people ahead of me complaining.
"Why do we have to buy tickets to come to Longhu Mountain to participate in the Luotian Grand Ritual?" an ordinary-looking young man roared.
“That’s normal. Most of Longhu Mountain is under the jurisdiction of the Tourism Bureau. No matter who you are, where you come from, or what you’re doing on Longhu Mountain, you still have to pay for the entrance fee.” Xu Si chuckled and teased, “In reality, even the people from the Celestial Master’s Mansion on Longhu Mountain can only manage a small area.”
Zhang Chulan stared helplessly with his dead fish eyes: "Heh heh~ What other good places are there that the tourism bureau hasn't claimed?"
"That's probably not the case," Li Muyang chimed in.
Xu San and Xu Si also noticed Li Muyang and his two companions, and their pupils dilated in shock! What's this old man doing here?
and many more!
Could he be here to participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony?
Hmm... Is it too late to take Zhang Chulan back now?
To be honest, I felt very guilty, especially since Li Muyang had a previous disagreement with the company.
Xu San and Xu Si definitely know this news!
"You must be from the company, right?" Li Muyang asked with a warm smile.
"Yes! Big brother, who are you?" Zhang Chulan had no idea what Xu San and Xu Si were thinking. He just felt that Li Muyang seemed pretty good.
