60: The black-bellied Yu Xiu
After Yu Xiu took control of the Training Camp, students from Qin Province began to sweep various rankings.
Yu Xiu, a Martial Venerable, dominated the top spot on the Strength Ranking, and he also occupied the first place in the Points Ranking and Task Ranking.
Not only that, but the top ten spots on every ranking were filled by Qin Province students.
Furthermore, Qin Province students set up checkpoints in places like the Task Office and the Supermarket.
To accept tasks at the Task Office, one had to pay a certain amount of points, and two-tenths of the points earned from tasks also had to be submitted.
As for the Supermarket, since the Training Camp Administrator was unwilling to pay points, it became the quietest place in the entire Training Camp.
"Chief, the entire Training Camp is currently maintaining the order set by Yu Xiu, and we have no way to carry out our work."
"Moreover, Yu Xiu has set a rule that all conflicts must not result in death or serious injury, only touching upon the opponent, which does not conform to our original rules."
"If this continues, we will not be able to report to our superiors."
"The pressure from the Secret Realm and the Ruins is growing, and if we don't cultivate a group of new people who have seen blood soon, I'm afraid the Secret Realm and the Ruins will have problems within a few years."
The Training Camp Administrator sighed helplessly.
His brows were filled with worry.
"I also understand the seriousness of the situation, but what can be done now? Yu Xiu is a Martial Venerable, and a Martial Venerable with multiple Talents. I am not as strong as him."
"Besides, the Qin Province Chu Family is supporting him from behind. What can I do?"
"Just as Old Master Chu said, it's not that he couldn't leave Qin Province, but he had some concerns before. Now, with Yu Xiu's appearance, Old Master Chu has almost no concerns, completely making up for the Chu Family's shortcomings."
"Do you know what kind of existence Old Master Chu was back then?"
"He was a madman, doing things without any scruples, a complete and utter madman."
"Once Old Master Chu is forced to leave Qin Province, do you know how much blame I'll have to bear? Even if I'm a Martial Venerable, I won't survive."
The instructor asked with a look of horror, "Chief, is it really that terrifying?"
"Hmph, it will only be more terrifying than this."
The Training Camp Administrator cursed angrily, "These bastards in the Capital, they act without rules themselves, and now they're dragging me down."
"Old Master Chu has spoken, and they've all become mute, afraid to take the blame. Am I not afraid?"
After his words fell, he was silent for a long time, seemingly making up his mind, and said, "One day, just one day. If those people in the Capital still haven't responded, then secretly tell Yu Xiu the whereabouts of those who used the mithra flower to create the beast tide."
"You all are quitting, and I don't care about these things anymore. As long as I don't have to take the blame, it's not my son who's dying anyway."
The instructor asked with a worried expression, "Chief, do we really have to do this?"
"Although those people aren't the top Prodigies from those Capital Families, they are at least direct descendants. Once it's known that we leaked the information, it will be hard to clean up!"
"Idiot!" The Training Camp Administrator frowned and said, "I said it's a secret, don't you understand 'secret'? Can't you do it more discreetly, so others don't notice?"
"This..."
The instructor nodded helplessly and said, "Understood, I'll go arrange it now."
"I said after one day, it means after one day, do you understand?"
"Understood!"
The instructor walked out of the office, cursing inwardly, "With the intelligence of those big Families, secretly? Do you really think it's that easy?"
"If it's not done well, I'll still be the one to take the blame in the end. They're all bastards."
"Sigh! If only I had Yu Xiu's strength, then I wouldn't have to tolerate these scoundrels."
...
One day passed quickly.
There was still no response from the Capital.
The Training Camp Administrator also urged the instructor to leak the information to Yu Xiu.
"Boss, the brothers below just reported that they found the whereabouts of those bastards from the Capital."
Chu Tianjiao came to Yu Xiu's villa and said with a sneer, "Although the messenger was very secretive, it's obvious that it's someone from the Training Camp Administrator."
"Now, only he is in the most difficult position, caught in the middle. Besides him, I really can't think of anyone else who would send the message."
"He also wants to play both sides," Yu Xiu smiled faintly, "Spread the word, express gratitude to the Chief for his profound righteousness in revealing the information."
"Boss, your move is brilliant."
Chu Tianjiao was stunned when he heard this. He never expected Yu Xiu to be so cunning at times.
Spreading this news now would essentially put the Training Camp Administrator on the hot seat!
"Do you really think I'm that bored?"
Yu Xiu shook his head and said, "The Training Camp Chief is a Martial Venerable expert after all. This time, those Families in the Capital have really sold him out."
"If he's truly smart, he should know which side to stand on now."
"During this recent period, you also told me some things about Old Master, so I think it's important to gain the initiative first."
"Once Old Master leaves Qin Province, it means overturning the table, and there will be no turning back. At that time, Qin Province will definitely fall into chaos."
"The Blood God Sect will probably also take the opportunity to cause trouble in Qin Province, after all, we cleaned out the Blood God Sect in Jiangtan last time."
"I believe the Blood God Sect will definitely not easily let go of such a great hatred."
At this point, Chu Tianjiao's expression also became solemn. Although the Chu Family appeared glorious on the surface, they were actually already mired in difficulties.
What Old Master did in his youth seemed carefree and strong, but there were also many criticisms accumulated from it.
If Old Master could now become a peerless expert capable of suppressing half of Huaxia, perhaps the Chu Family wouldn't be in such a difficult situation now.
It's just a pity that Old Master's Talent was limited.
Thinking of this, Chu Tianjiao's gaze couldn't help but turn towards Yu Xiu.
Just as Old Master said, Yu Xiu was an investment. Once he could rise against the wind and secure a position, then the Chu Family's current predicament could also be easily resolved.
As he had more and more contact with Yu Xiu, Chu Tianjiao also believed that Old Master's foresight was remarkable, and Yu Xiu was indeed worth investing in.
Perhaps he would become a legend in the future.
Or perhaps he would elevate the Chu Family to a higher level.
"Boss, those bastards from the Capital are hiding in the Ruins deep within Wu Mountain."
"Should we go?"
Yu Xiu shook his head and said, "No rush. First, spread the news and let the dust settle. Wait for the Chief to make a decision."
"The depths of Wu Mountain are not somewhere you can venture. If the Chief chooses to side with us, we can find a group of instructors to go together. If he doesn't choose to side with us, then I'll just have to go myself."
At this point, Yu Xiu paused.
He was already a Martial Venerable, and this was a good opportunity to visit the Ruins.
To see the Qilin jade pendant's assessment.
After learning about the assessment's Talent before, he had always been very interested.
That kind of assessment that could be rumored to be a Divine Beast, perhaps it wasn't a real Divine Beast, but it was enough to prove the power of the Talent.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be rumored so outrageously.
