Demon Eradication Division!

Fang Ting said angrily, "Isn't my A Chen allowed to have great talent?"

Aunt Wang said with a laugh, "Wasn't your boy a street thug before? What kind of talent could someone like that have?"

"Besides, if he's really that amazing, why are you still here washing clothes with us?"

As soon as she said this, even the people who had believed Fang Ting began to waver a little.

That was true. If things really were as Fang Ting said, why was she still here washing clothes with them?

Suspicion appeared in everyone's eyes.

Fang Ting angrily explained, "My A Chen only broke through yesterday, and he just went to the Three Rivers Gang this morning to receive his waist token. How could things possibly change as quickly as you imagine?"

At that moment, a figure suddenly blocked the doorway.

The people who had been gossiping just moments ago immediately fell silent upon seeing him and lowered their heads, seriously washing their clothes.

The person at the door was the laundry room's manager. He said angrily, "What are you all making such a racket about? Aren't you going to work properly? If I catch you doing this again, I'll deduct your monthly wages!"

After saying this, the manager swept his gaze around and asked, "Which one of you is Fang Ting?"

Hearing the manager's question, Aunt Wang immediately looked gleeful.

She was certain Fang Ting must have done something wrong and was about to be punished by the manager!

So Aunt Wang happily pointed at Fang Ting and said, "That girl is her! Manager, did she do something wrong? Fang Ting is usually so unruly. You must teach her a good lesson!"

The manager shouted angrily, "What kind of nonsense are you spouting? Who told you to speak? Get back to washing clothes properly!"

Aunt Wang gave an awkward smile and shut her mouth.

Fang Ting, meanwhile, stood up, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"Manager, is something wrong?"

The manager looked at Fang Ting, and his face immediately changed into a smiling one. His attitude was completely different from how he had treated Aunt Wang just now. He said with a smile:

"From now on, you're the supervisor of this room. If you find any of them slacking off, you can deduct their monthly wages directly."

Everyone present looked at Fang Ting in astonishment.

They were all envious, but at the same time, they were puzzled about how Fang Ting had managed to become a supervisor.

Aunt Wang's expression changed drastically. She demanded, "Why can she become the supervisor? What gives her the right?! This girl isn't fit for it!"

The manager could bear it no longer. He raised his hand and slapped her twice across the face!

Smack! Smack!

"Have I been too good to you?! Since when did you get to stick your nose into the matters I was ordered to handle?"

"You're asking me what gives her the right? This was personally ordered by an official above us. What makes you think you have the nerve to question me?"

"And you have the gall to say she isn't fit for it? As if a dog like you is fit for anything!"

After saying this, the manager slapped her twice more.

Smack! Smack!

Aunt Wang's entire face had been slapped red, yet she did not dare utter a single word.

People like her were only bold because no one had ever punished them. The moment someone actually struck back, they immediately shrank like turtles in their shells.

Aunt Wang covered her burning, aching cheeks with her hands and lowered her head, not daring to resist in the slightest.

Among the onlookers, some were frightened, while others felt thoroughly satisfied!

After all, Aunt Wang had offended plenty of people in the past. Seeing her get beaten, everyone thought it was well deserved. They almost wished they could go up and give her two slaps themselves!

The manager smiled and asked Aunt Wang, "Do you still want to continue working here?"

Aunt Wang nodded repeatedly, tears welling in her eyes.

"Sir, sir! Please, let me stay! I absolutely won't slack off at work!"

The manager chuckled.

"Begging me won't help. You should beg your supervisor instead!"

Aunt Wang finally understood. She crawled over on her knees to Fang Ting's side and pleaded, "Supervisor Fang... please let me stay. I promise I won't gossip recklessly anymore."

"Before... before, it was all my fault. Please, be magnanimous and forgive me!"

"My whole family depends on me for food. It wasn't easy to get such a good job. I don't want to lose it!"

However,

Fang Ting remained unmoved.

The things Aunt Wang had said today were not the first time she had said them.

When Fang Ting had told everyone about supporting A Chen in learning martial arts, Aunt Wang had objected the most.

She wasn't even part of their family, yet her voice had been louder than anyone else's. She was simply sick in the head.

She never said a single kind word, spending every day mocking and ridiculing others.

Fang Ting did not want to have anything more to do with someone like that.

Seeing the complete lack of emotion in Fang Ting's eyes, Aunt Wang panicked.

She hurriedly raised her hands and slapped her own flushed cheeks twice more!

Fang Ting frowned.

"There's no need to keep slapping yourself. Leave. I don't like you."

Aunt Wang collapsed onto the ground, her eyes vacant, her thoughts impossible to read.

In truth, the laundry room job was not all that important.

It was just that when Fang Ting chose not to keep her, it meant Fang Ting still resented her and would not forgive her.

Aunt Wang grew frightened.

If what Fang Ting had said was true, then her younger brother was now an enforcer in the Three Rivers Gang.

If her brother took action, this would be about far more than simply losing her job.

Aunt Wang regretted it deeply. She regretted having such a foul mouth, and regretted insisting on mocking others!

She viciously slapped herself twice more. The sound of the blows was especially crisp and loud, making the people beside her wonder whether she had gone mad.

The manager chuckled and kicked her twice.

"Get lost. Stop hanging around here."

Aunt Wang lowered her head and walked out in utter regret and despair. Her legs felt weak, and she nearly fell several times.

After that, the manager gave them a few instructions and left as well.

The women who usually got along relatively well with Fang Ting now felt as though an invisible barrier had appeared between them and Fang Ting.

Fang Ting also sensed a little more awe in their gazes.

But people always had to climb higher.

Fang Ting did not reject this change. The one who had improved her life was precisely her younger brother.

Inside the martial arts academy,

Fang Chen was listening attentively to Hong Decheng.

Hong Decheng's voice was extremely loud. Fang Chen did not know whether it was a side effect of the Viscera Realm,

but even standing at the back, he could hear everything Hong Decheng was saying clearly.

"The situation under Heaven is unclear. All kinds of heretical sects, demons, and rebel armies are causing chaos everywhere."

"The common people are living in misery. For many, merely staying alive has become a problem."

"Although Baihe County has not yet been affected, I'm afraid it won't be far off."

"The times may well become turbulent in the future. Everyone in the academy must make preparations early."

"Now, to cope with the changing situation under Heaven, the Imperial Court has also taken corresponding measures. For many of you, this may be an excellent choice."

Hong Decheng paused.

The people below immediately began discussing among themselves. Some were curious about the Imperial Court's measures, while others were wondering what they should do in the future.

Someone asked, "Master Hong, what exactly are the Imperial Court's measures?"

Seeing that someone had finally asked a question, Hong Decheng nodded in satisfaction and continued:

"Have you ever heard of the Imperial Court's Demon Eradication Division?"

"In the past, only people with powerful connections could enter the Demon Eradication Division, and there were not many who truly possessed ability."

"But now, the Imperial Court has reformed it and plans to expand the Demon Eradication Division, recruit talented people from all walks of life, and deal with the constantly changing situation under Heaven."

"This recruitment drive is open to every talented person under Heaven!"

"Even if you're merely a commoner, once you enter, you can rely on your own abilities and work hard to earn contribution points!"

"Contribution points can be exchanged for all sorts of things you could possibly want!"

"For many of you, this is an excellent opportunity!"
