1057 Become Yu Huang’s Believer
He Zhiqiu thought that Philand was pushing the blame to clear his name, so he snorted and said, “What are you pretending for?! You’re the one who asked me to plant the Bone Nurturing Grass. Don’t say that you don’t know about this!”
After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Philand didn’t explain anything to He Zhiqiu. He only narrowed his eyes and looked at the black-hearted boss of the plantation base.
The black-hearted boss’s gaze looked shifty, and he didn’t dare to meet Philand’s gaze.
Seeing this, Philand understood.!!
“Leng Shuang, you actually dare to play tricks under my watch!” Back then, Philand saw that Leng Shuang seemed quite levelheaded and reliable. That was why he chose him from a group of new employees and let him come to the town to work.
Unexpectedly, not only was Leng Shuang dark, but he was also blackhearted!
Everyone called him the black-hearted boss.
He deserved the name!
Leng Shuang probably thought of the kindness that Philand had shown him back then.
After the betrayal was exposed, Leng Shuang felt ashamed. He lowered his head and no longer had the courage to raise it.
Mr. Zhang, Zhou Yue, and the others also stared at the black-hearted boss with disdain.
Traitors were really detestable!
The eight Prime Masters naturally saw Philand and Leng Shuang’s reactions, but they wouldn’t believe that Philand was innocent that easily. Whether he was guilty or not depended on evidence. “Philand, Leng Shuang, please cooperate with our investigation and follow us to the Spiritual Field Base.”
This time, Philand didn’t resist. He snorted at Leng Shuang and followed the eight Prime Masters towards the plantation base.
Before the black-hearted boss left, he also glanced at He Zhiqiu.
Seeing He Zhiqiu glaring at him with burning eyes, he felt even more guilty, so he hurriedly caught up with the eight Prime Masters.
The eight Prime Masters came and went quickly. As soon as they left, the gossipy bosses gathered around He Zhiqiu and asked him questions—
“Mr. He, did the black-hearted boss really give you a bag of black sesame seeds?”
“Why would they lie to you?!”
“Hey, how did you discover the truth?”
After being deceived by the black-hearted boss and Philand for more than ten years, He Zhiqiu had lost all trust in the bosses of these bases. He snorted and wanted to leave with his walking stick. “Yu Huang, let’s go. Country bumpkins from our small worlds are not worthy of breathing in the same air as these people from these super Great Worlds.”
Yu Huang was speechless.
Yu Huangwalked out of the town with He Zhiqiu.

At night, when Sheng Xiao, Donor, and the others came out of the base, they heard that Philand and Leng Shuang had been taken away by the eight Prime Masters.
After knowing that He Zhiqiu had been deceived by Leng Shuang for ten years, everyone felt sympathy for this old man.
Since He Zhiqiu had fallen out with the Ascending Town, it was naturally inconvenient for him to continue staying at Mr. Zhang’s place. He set up a tent outside the town with Yu Huang and the others to make do. After knowing that Yu Huang, Lin Jiansheng, and the others were staying outside the town, Donor and the others moved out of the hotel.
At night, Ascension Town was especially cold. The sky was covered in a thick layer of lead-gray clouds, and the cold wind blew.
The cold wind chilled their bodies, but Leng Shuang’s actions chilled their hearts.
“The wine is boiling,” Yin Rong said, then held a spoon as she filled a cup for everyone.
Everyone hugged their enamel cups as they drank the hot wine in small sips. Only then did they feel warm.
He Zhiqiu suddenly moved his body from the small stool and knelt in front of Yu Huang.
Yu Huang was so frightened that she hurriedly stood up. The others were also stunned by He Zhiqiu’s action. “Mr. He, what are you doing?!”
Lin Jiansheng also frowned and said to He Zhiqiu, “Brother He, Yu Huang is a junior. If you have something to say, just sit down and say it.”
As He Zhiqiu looked up at Yu Huang, he refused to get up and his eyes were filled with tears.
He Zhiqiu choked on his tears and said, “We only ascended to the Cang Lang Continent after experiencing thousands of hardships. If we want to survive in the powerful Cang Lang Continent, we have to protect ourselves. Today, when I was alone and helpless, Yu Huang was able to step forward. This is no longer just a simple act of upholding justice.”
“Yu Huang, you were willing to publicly offend Philand, Leng Shuang, and the others for my sake today. I’m really touched. However, do you know that by helping me seek justice, you’ve offended the factions behind these people? You’re still young, and your future is full of boundless potential. I delayed your future…”
With that, tears streamed down He Zhiqiu’s face.
How could an old man like him be worthy of Yu Huang making such a sacrifice for him?!
How should he repay such great kindness?!
He Zhiqiu wiped away his tears and raised the porcelain cup in his hand as he said resolutely, “I, He Zhiqiu, am willing to swear that I will forever follow Yu Huang and follow her lead as her believer!” After saying that, He Zhiqiu raised his head and drank the slightly hot wine.
Swallowing that mouthful of hot wine shattered all the grievances he had suffered in the past.
For the first 90 years of his life, He Zhiqiu lived for himself. For the rest of his life, he would only work for Yu Huang!
Yu Huang pursed her rosy lips and stared at the old man silently.
She thought in amusement, “Old man, you’re already so old, so you have to take things easy.”
He Zhiqiu had already sworn on his soul, so how could Yu Huang be heartless enough to reject his kindness? Besides, she had indeed offended a large number of factions by helping He Zhiqiu today. In the future, if she wanted to survive in the Cang Lang Continent, she would indeed encounter many obstacles.
It wasn’t too much for He Zhiqiu to work for her.
However, He Zhiqiu was old and would probably die before he even started working for her. Perhaps in the end, she would have to pay for the old man’s coffin.
At the thought of this, Yu Huang was amused and touched.
“Alright! You’ll follow me from now on!” Yu Huang picked up her hot wine to drink and accepted her first follower in the Cang Lang Continent.
Sheng Xiao and the others were caught between laughter and tears.

Philand was taken away by the eight Prime Masters, so Ascension Town temporarily lost its overseer. Donor and Estelle had already completed the assessment mission, but they didn’t know who to find to register their identities.
Two days later, early in the morning, Yu Huang walked into the base of the cotton shop.
“Mr. Zhang.” When Yu Huang saw that Mr. Zhang was opening a package, she walked closer and realized that Mr. Zhang was holding a small children’s backpack.
Mr. Zhang had his head lowered as he carefully adjusted the backpack’s strap. Without raising his head, he said to Yu Huang, “If you have something to ask, ask it.”
Yu Huang stared at the bag and asked Mr. Zhang, “Did you buy this for Ah Kong?”
Nodding, Mr. Zhang said, “Yes, I found a kindergarten for him and plan to send him to school.”
“Isn’t there a kindergarten in the town?”
Mr. Zhang finally raised his head to look at Yu Huang and said, “In another month, my work term will be over. I plan to quit my job in the Administration and bring Ah Kong back to the Great World. It’s time for Ah Kong to study. I can’t delay his studies because of me.”
From what he said, he was planning to adopt Ah Kong officially.
But her mentor also wanted to raise Ah Kong.
However, this was between her mentor and Mr. Zhang. As an outsider, Yu Huang couldn’t say anything.
“What are you doing here?” Mr. Zhang asked Yu Huang.
Only then did Yu Huang remember the serious matter. She said, “Mr. Philand left the town, but my companions have completed the assessment mission, so who should they find to register their identities?”
“The new overseer should be here by now. You can go to the Time Pavilion to look for him now.”
“Oh really?” Yu Huang asked curiously, “Who is it?”
“I don’t know.” Shaking his head, Mr. Zhang said, “I heard that his surname is Si. He used to be the director of the Doomsday Battlefield Administration.”
Yu Huang didn’t have a good impression of the Doomsday Battlefield Administration.
When Sheng Xiao was bullied by the participants of the Great World, no one from the Administration stopped the bullies. However, when Sheng Xiao was about to kill them, those people appeared in time.
Yu Huang didn’t have a good impression of the Battlefield Administration, who had bullied her man.
After leaving the town, Yu Huang accompanied Yin Rong, Donor, and the others to the beef noodle restaurant.
The door of the noodle shop, which had been closed for two days, finally opened. There was a pink seashell wind chime hanging under the roof, and the curtain behind the window had been changed to a pink gauze curtain.
It seemed that the new supervisor was a woman who liked pink.
Sensing that Yu Huang and the others had arrived, the new overseer shouted from the noodle shop—
“Come in!”
It was a rough male voice.
Yu Huang’s gaze lingered on the wind chimes under the roof and the pink gauze curtain swaying behind the window for a few more seconds before accompanying Yin Rong and the others into the shop.
After entering the shop, they realized that the interior of the noodle shop had also changed.
The only dining table in the room had been moved away. In its place, there was a wooden embroidery rack with a pure white silk cloth on it. A man in navy blue velvet pajamas sat in front of the embroidered rack with his back facing them. He held a cigarette in his left hand and a needle in his right. Ethereal smoke swirled around him.
