Li Yuejin nodded, turned to the crowd and said, "Everyone, bring your stuff with you and show Mr. Liang our sincerity. We genuinely want to join forces."
Cheng Zhanpeng, Yuan Rui, and othersā eyes flickered, and they all turned around to pack their things.
Only Gao Jie, Bai Zhirui, and Yue Yawei looked a bit dazed, subconsciously looking at Zhuang Shuyuan.
Obviously, in the minds of these women, Zhuang Shuyuanās status seemed higher.
Not waiting for Zhuang Shuyuan to speak, Li Yuejin suddenly frowned and said sternly, "What are you girls standing there for?"
"Hurry up and pack. Do you want Mr. Liang to misunderstand us?"
The girls were instantly jolted.
Thatās right, although Mr. Liang hasnāt decided to eliminate them, itās not because heās incapable, but likely because he hasnāt planned to do so given their past.
If their behavior was reported back to Liang Yuan by Han Xiangman and others, how would Liang Yuan feel?
The girls immediately lowered their heads and quickly turned around to pack their things.
On the other side, Zhuang Shuyuan took a deep breath to suppress her anger, turned to Li Yuejin, and said coldly, "Teacher Li, your consideration is thorough."
Li Yuejin smiled and said, "Miss Zhuang, you also have a lot of things to pack, right? If I remember correctly, most of the Water-Repelling Talisman Stones I make each month are handed over to you."
A hint of gloom flashed in Zhuang Shuyuanās eyes, but her expression didnāt change; instead, she brightly smiled and said, "Thereās no need for reminders, Teacher Li, Iāve already prepared."
"However, most of the Water-Repelling Talisman Stones were taken by Brother Meng, so thereās not much left on my side."
Li Yuejin chuckled and said, "Well then, Miss Zhuang should explain this clearly to Mr. Liang, so he doesnāt misunderstand us hiding anything."
Zhuang Shuyuan gritted her teeth, feeling a strong sense of crisis.
She was gradually losing her authority!
Han Xiangman found it amusing and couldnāt help but marvel at how realistic the world is now.
Without Wu Meng, this woman named Zhuang Shuyuan would find it difficult to lead the Martial King Pavilion.
And this middle-aged man named Li Yuejin, obviously not content to remain under others, now wanted to show his importance.
Han Xiangman looked at Li Yuejin and thought: This person can make Water-Repelling Talisman Stones, a skilled technician. As long as Liang Yuan isnāt foolish, he would certainly treat this person well.
She had little confidence in Zhuang Shuyuanās situation now.
Han Xiangman had been here for days and naturally knew about the Rune Technology disclosed by the military.
When she first heard of this so-called Rune Technology, she was greatly shocked.
There turned out to be such objects as Talisman Stones, superpower equipment usable by ordinary people.
If her team had gotten this technology earlier, how could they have lost so many people along the way?
So she knew very well that people who could make Talisman Stones were undoubtedly high-tech talents.
Liang Yuan would definitely support such people strongly.
When everyone finished packing, Han Xiangman led them quickly to the Fire Bamboo Forest.
Returning to the Fire Bamboo Forest again, the Martial King Pavilion people felt dazed, with a strong sense of things having changed while the place remained the same.
This Fire Bamboo Forest was still the same, but they had become prisoners.
Maybe not quite prisoners, but without a doubt, they had lost their autonomy.
Their survival and treatment were entirely decided by one person.
And this person now stood atop the Bamboo House in the Fire Bamboo Forest.
Liang Yuan stood at the top level of the Bamboo House, with Song Wen, Yang Mei, and others beside her.
They looked excited but were discussing the construction of the commercial complex project, not the battle at Gouwu Pavilion.
Upon learning that Liang Yuan had completely unified Yangshan and defeated the leaders of the three shelters, they knew Yangshan would belong entirely to Liang Yuan.
From now on, the whole Yangshan would be their base.
So regarding the construction of the commercial complex, they were even more passionate.
Because this concerned their future living conditions.
Beside Liang Yuan, Tu Long lay on the ground.
Wang An pressed his hands on Tu Longās body, streams of healing light merging into Tu Long.
Tu Longās injuries gradually healed.
His consciousness had actually long returned.
But Tu Long did not open his eyes. He knew Liang Yuan was right beside him.
He hadnāt figured out how to respond yet, so he pretended to be unconscious.
Liang Yuan glanced at the pretending-to-be-unconscious Tu Long and said lightly, "Wang An, thatās enough."
Wang An paused and looked at Tu Longās still large burned scars, saying, "Mr. Liang, he still has quite a few wounds."
Liang Yuan said, "Leave them. If he doesnāt want to wake up, let him suffer."
"You go about your business, donāt bother with him."
Wang An was stunned, then looked at Tu Longās twitching eyelids and couldnāt help but laugh. Rising, he said, "Yes, Mr. Liang."
Tu Long hurriedly opened his eyes and cried out, "No, no, Iām awake, Iām awake, Liang Yuan, Iām already awake."
Liang Yuan ignored him, waving his hand to signal Wang An to leave.
He said lightly, "Being awake is good, if you stayed awake for much longer, Iād consider cutting off your head and burying you with Li Yuefeng."
Tu Long shivered and hurriedly said, "Liang Yuan, I did help you capture Qu Mengju, and these injuries are because of that."
Liang Yuan sneered, "Ridiculous, if you hadnāt mobilized the three shelters to gather at Gouwu Pavilion, would there be all these issues?"
Tu Long immediately felt embarrassed and argued, "It was Hong Fuās idea, I... I was deceived."
Liang Yuan sneered, "Deception isnāt compulsion. If you had no intention, could he have deceived you?"
