Fang Ting angrily said, "Doesn't my A Chen have good talent?"

Aunt Wang chuckled, "That kid of yours, wasn't he just a hooligan before? What talent could someone like that have?"

"Besides, if he were really that capable, why would you still be here washing clothes with us?"

As soon as she said this, the others who had believed Fang Ting also began to waver.

Yeah, if that were true, why would Fang Ting still be washing clothes with them?

Suspicion flickered in everyone's eyes.

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

At this moment, a figure suddenly blocked the doorway.

The crowd, who had been chattering just moments ago, immediately fell silent upon seeing this person, diligently burying their heads in their laundry.

The person at the door was the head supervisor of the laundry room. He said angrily, "What are you all shouting about? You don't want to work properly, do you? If I catch any of you slacking off again, I'll dock your wages directly!"

After speaking, the supervisor scanned the room and asked, "Which one is Fang Ting?"

Hearing the supervisor's question, Aunt Wang in the crowd immediately felt a sense of schadenfreude.

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

So, Aunt Wang happily pointed at Fang Ting and said, "This girl is the one! Supervisor, did she do something wrong? Fang Ting is usually restless; you must teach her a good lesson!"

The supervisor reprimanded, "What nonsense are you spouting? Who asked you to speak? Go back to washing clothes properly!"

Aunt Wang gave a sheepish smile and shut her mouth.

Fang Ting, meanwhile, stood up, feeling a bit confused.

"Supervisor, is there something you need?"

The supervisor looked at Fang Ting, his face immediately breaking into a smile, a stark contrast to his attitude towards Aunt Wang just moments before. He said with a smile:

"From now on, you are the supervisor of this room. If you find any of them not working diligently, you can deduct their wages directly."

Everyone present looked at Fang Ting in astonishment.

They were all envious, and at the same time, a little puzzled as to why Fang Ting was chosen to be the supervisor.

Aunt Wang's face changed drastically, and she demanded, "Why can she be the supervisor? On what grounds?! This girl doesn't deserve it!"

The supervisor lost his patience and directly slapped her twice!

Slap! Slap!

"You think you can get away with this?! When has it been your place to speak about matters I've been instructed to handle!"

"And you ask on what grounds? This is a matter personally ordered by the higher-ups. How dare you question me?"

"And you have the nerve to say she doesn't deserve it, as if you dog-like creature deserves it!"

After speaking, the supervisor slapped her twice more.

Slap! Slap!

Aunt Wang's entire face turned red, yet she didn't dare to utter a single word.

People like her usually got away with things because no one disciplined them. But once someone took action, they'd immediately shrink back like a turtle in its shell.

Aunt Wang covered her burning, aching cheeks with her hand, head bowed, not daring to resist at all.

Among the onlookers, some were scared by this, while others felt a sense of satisfaction!

After all, Aunt Wang had offended many people in the past. Seeing her get beaten now, everyone felt it was well-deserved and wished they could have landed a few slaps themselves!

The supervisor smiled and asked Aunt Wang, "Do you still want to work here?"

Aunt Wang nodded repeatedly, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Sir, sir! Please let me stay! I promise I won't be lazy with my work!"

The supervisor chuckled.

"Begging me is useless. You should beg your supervisor!"

Aunt Wang realized and crawled on her knees to Fang Ting's side, pleading, "Fang... Supervisor, please let me stay. I promise I won't gossip anymore."

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

"I have old and young at home who need to eat. It's not easy to have such a good job. I don't want to lose it!"

However, Fang Ting remained unmoved.

What Aunt Wang had said today was something she had said before.

When Fang Ting had first brought up supporting A Chen in practicing martial arts, Aunt Wang had been the most vocal in her opposition.

She wasn't even family, yet her objections were louder than anyone else's. She was simply problematic.

She never said a kind word, always mocking and ridiculing others.

Fang Ting wanted nothing more to do with her.

Seeing Fang Ting's indifferent gaze, Aunt Wang panicked.

She quickly grabbed her own palm and slapped her flushed cheeks twice more!

Fang Ting frowned.

"No need to slap yourself. You can go. I don't like you."

Aunt Wang slumped to the ground, her eyes vacant, lost in thought.

The laundry room job wasn't that important, really.

It was just that... Fang Ting's refusal to keep her meant Fang Ting still harbored resentment and wouldn't forgive her.

Aunt Wang was scared.

If what Fang Ting said was true, then her brother, who was now a Steward in the Three Rivers Gang, would get involved.

If he did, this wouldn't just be about losing her job.

Aunt Wang was filled with regret, regretting her sharp tongue and her need to mock others!

She slapped herself twice more, the sound of the slaps sharp and loud. Those nearby almost thought she'd gone mad.

The supervisor chuckled and kicked her twice.

"Get lost. Don't linger here."

Aunt Wang lowered her head and walked out in utter regret, her legs feeling weak, nearly falling several times.

Then the supervisor gave a few instructions and left as well.

Those who were usually close to Fang Ting felt as if a barrier had formed between them and Fang Ting.

Fang Ting also felt a newfound awe in their gazes towards her.

But people always had to move forward.

Fang Ting didn't reject this change; it was her younger brother who had made her life better.

Inside the martial arts school, Fang Chen was listening intently to Hong Decheng's speech.

Hong Decheng's voice was loud, perhaps a side effect of the Viscera Realm.

Regardless, Fang Chen, standing at the back, could hear everything Hong Decheng was saying.

"The current state of the world is uncertain, with various cults, demonic creatures, and rebels causing chaos everywhere."

"The common people are suffering, and even surviving is a problem."

"Although it hasn't reached our Baihe County yet, it probably won't be long."

"The future may bring turmoil, and everyone in the martial arts school should make plans."

"Now, to deal with the changing world, the Imperial Court has also taken corresponding measures, which might be a good option for you."

Hong Decheng paused.

The people below immediately started discussing, curious about the Imperial Court's measures, while some thought about their own futures.

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

Seeing that someone had finally asked, Hong Decheng nodded with satisfaction and continued:

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

"In the past, only those with connections could join the Demon Eradication Division; there weren't many truly capable individuals."

"But now, the Imperial Court has undergone reforms and plans to expand the Demon Eradication Division, recruiting talented individuals to deal with the ever-changing situation in the world."

"This recruitment is open to all talented people in the world!"

"Even if you are just a commoner, you can earn contribution points through your own abilities after joining!"

"Contribution points can be exchanged for anything you desire!"

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