The Important Thing Is Determination

The land in Kinless Village has been encroached upon, from 10,000 cubic meters to just over 3,000 cubic meters, for reasons unknown.

The Kinless Madam is most likely Qiao Shaofen, but all the history in the contract has been erased. Who did this? And what was their purpose in doing so?

Although many questions remain, it did not affect Li Banfeng's good mood.

After leaving the deserted village, Li Banfeng began to plan his next move.

"Build a railway that goes around Xindi and connects Brother Qiu's territory with Kinless Village. Transporting supplies through the station in Kinless Village will be a bit troublesome, but as long as it is managed properly, the transportation cost will not increase too much."

Shui Yongquan listened attentively. "If we want to manage the two plots of land together, we need to change the local customs of the Kinless Village."

"Yes, it needs to be changed, and we need Brother Qiu's help to make the changes."

The Shui Yongquan looked back at the Qiu Luoye. The Qiu Luoye walked slowly, as if they had something on their minds.

"Are you thinking about burying the deed?" Shui Yongquan was also worried about this. "It would be best to bury it next to your land so that you can keep an eye on it."

"Okay," Qiu Luoye replied.

Li Banfeng said, "The land is right next to the boundary line. Even if we see that there is a problem with the contract, we still have to go around to the new land. I'm afraid we might not be able to take care of it."

"That's true," Qiu Luoye replied.

Shui Yongquan said, "Leave a Contract Guardian Spirit here to keep watch. If anything happens, report directly to the other side of the boundary. It should be in a place where no one else will notice, and where Qiu Daxiang can see it."

"Okay." Qiu Luoye nodded.

Li Banfeng walked faster and faster along the boundary line, looking for a suitable place.

The Qiu Luoye, heavy with unspoken thoughts, seem to slow their pace with each passing day.

Shui Yongquan said, "Qiu Daxiang, this is a location I chose for you. Can't you put some effort into it?"

Qiu Luoye lowered her voice and said, "I still think Seventh Brother suffered a loss tonight."

Shui Yongquan was taken aback; it turned out that Qiu Luoye was troubled by this matter.

"What can we do? His cultivation level is still at the ground level, so he can't gain popularity."

"I've already gained enough benefits by acquiring the land. I want to save the population of the 50% in Kinless Village and leave it to Seventh Brother."

Shui Yongquan was taken aback. "How long do you plan to save it? He's still a long way from the clouds."

"I think it's not far off."

Shui Yongquan sighed and said, "Don't forget, even if he's promoted from Ninth to Tenth Stage, he'll still have to suffer in the Inner State. Guess how many years he'll have to suffer."

"Perhaps we don't need to go to the Inner State?" Qiu Luoye was pondering something very complicated for him, yet worth considering. "The contract of the Kinless Madam, there are two pieces..."

Why does she have two deeds? Is it because she's not under the jurisdiction of the Inner State? Can we get that deed back too? I don't want to have anything to do with the Inner State anymore, and I don't want my Seventh Brother to suffer Inner State."

The Shui Yongquan also fell into deep thought, but its thoughts were interrupted by a quarrel.

"I don't want to live anymore! I'll die today just to prove it!"

On Qiu Luoye's Territory, a pair of pioneers started arguing.

They were a married couple who had just received their reward money for clearing the land and were planning to go back home for a good New Year, but they learned that they could not go back now.

The husband was tongue-tied and failed to explain the situation clearly, causing the wife to suddenly lose control of her emotions and crash into the border line.

The husband was stunned and rushed over with his wife.

Those around them were too slow to react and couldn't stop them.

Li Banfeng realized what was happening, but being on the other side of the border, he was powerless to do anything.

Just when it seemed the couple was about to be reduced to ashes, the wife unexpectedly crossed the border unharmed.

Her husband rushed over after her.

The wife continued to cry out ahead, and the husband continued to chase after her. The two of them ran all the way into the territory of the Kinless Village.

Li Banfeng stood beside the border line, looking completely bewildered.

On the other side of the border, the hunters who had just been trying to break up the fight were stunned.

A knowledgeable hunter in his forties, staring at the border line, shouted, "The important thing is determination! As long as we're determined, we can cross the line!"

The people around naturally didn't believe the middle-aged man's nonsense, but how exactly did that couple get through?

While everyone was still confused, they suddenly heard the middle-aged hunter shout, "I want to go home! Charge!"

After a long howl, the middle-aged man also rushed towards the border line.

Don't overestimate a person's rationality.

He stayed in the new land for almost a year, working as a pioneer and a hunter, risking his life every day, all to save up some money to go home, build a new house, and live a good life with his wife and children.

Now that he has the money, but can't go home, this middle-aged man has long lost his mind.

The middle-aged man's expression was even more resolute than that of the couple as he crossed the border.

He charged forward!

He succeeded!

What exactly is going on?

On the Qiu Luoye's Territory, the crowd became restless.

"I want to go home too!"

"I want to get married!"

"I want to have a son!"

"Don't worry, we're having a baby right now!"

"I want to have two!"

"Then put in some effort!"

One person after another rushed toward the border.

The border line must not be crossed!

They are challenging the common sense of Pro State, the most basic common sense!

Qiu Luoye blinked and said, "Determination? That doesn't seem to have anything to do with determination, does it?"

Without much thought, the three of them understood the reason in a short time.

This has absolutely nothing to do with determination.

This is because both plots of land have been covered by Qiu Luoye, and now they have become one plot of land, with the dividing line in the middle disappearing.

"The boundary can actually disappear on its own. Is there some kind of connection between the boundary and the contract?" Shui Yongquan, who had lived to this age, began to think about the nature of the boundary for the first time.

"We're one family now, we're all one family!" Qiu Luoye didn't think too much about it. He was very excited. He hugged the contract and happily returned to his own territory.

"Make up your mind, charge out!" The people on the land grew more and more excited. They could finally go out, and their shouts rose higher and higher.

Li Banfeng was also shouting, moving against the flow of people through the crowd, "This has nothing to do with determination, it's just that this boundary has disappeared. Don't rush outwards, if you hit another boundary, you'll still die!"

Yuezhou, Garden Stadium.

He Jiaqing took the stamp out of the sewer and stamped it on his head.

This seal has been sitting here for over a month, attracting a lot of attention.

He Jiaqing knew that absorbing a large amount of popularity at once would cause serious discomfort, and he made full preparations for it.

As the energy flowed continuously into his body from the top of his head, He Jiaqing trembled violently, his consciousness suddenly blurred, and he almost fainted on the spot.

What's wrong?

The Garden Stadium is indeed very popular, but this isn't the first time He Jiaqing has attracted crowds here, so there's no need for such a strong reaction.

I don't feel well today, maybe because I've been too tired lately.

With more than half of the stamp still in the seal, He Jiaqing put the stamp back in its place and staggered away from the stadium.

He took a taxi to a villa, stumbled up the stairs, and without even taking off his clothes, went straight to bed and fell into a deep sleep.

"The boundary is gone?" Liao Zihui looked at the report, staring in astonishment at Liu Guocai, the Guanfang Envoy of Kinless Village.

Liu Guocai nodded and said, "I have already sent people to verify it, and the border between the two places has indeed disappeared."

"How is this possible..." Liao Zihui held his forehead, feeling a wave of dizziness.

He had been waiting for Li Qi to come and beg him to build railways, checkpoints, and Guanfang Hall.

He had even prepared his words of reprimand for Li Qi. He wanted to teach Li Qi to be more composed and to follow the rules. He wanted Li Qi to understand who was in charge of Pro State.

But who could have imagined that something like this would happen?

How could the boundary line be gone?

Did Li Qi make this?

If he really did it, this is a serious matter!

Deputy General Envoy Tang Huanjie said, "General Envoy, I suspect that Li Qi has already mastered the method of manipulating the boundary."

"Impossible..." Liao Zihui said it was impossible, but he didn't have much confidence in his words.

Tang Huanjie offered his advice. "Your General Envoy, we should immediately report the situation of Kinless Village to our superiors. This matter could potentially change the overall landscape of Pro State, and the consequences are beyond our capacity to bear."

"Yes, that's right, it's not something we can handle," Liao Zihui said, as if waking from a dream. He quickly called his secretary, Ling Sujun, and said, "Draft a report immediately, and discuss the details directly with Envoy Liu."

Just as Liu Guocai and Ling Sujun were about to leave the office, Liao Zihui called them back, "Wait a minute, don't rush to draft the report. Go out first and wait for my orders."

Just as they were about to draft a report, they suddenly changed their minds. Liu Guocai and Ling Sujun looked at each other in bewilderment, but seeing Liao Zihui's state, they didn't dare to ask any more questions and quickly left the office.

Only Liao Zihui and Deputy General Envoy Tang Huanjie remained in the office.

Tang Huanjie asked, "General Envoy, what are you still hesitating about? This is a major matter and cannot be delayed."

"I know this is a big deal," Liao Zihui said, gathering his thoughts. His more than thirty years of experience in politics had calmed him down. "The boundary between the two places has just disappeared. Do you think Li Qi did this?"

"Who else could it be but him?"

Liao Zihui shook his head slightly and said, "Erasing a boundary line directly is something even we can't do."

Tang Huanjie said, "That's why this is a big deal and we must report it to our superiors immediately."

"We only just found out that Li Qi is so capable. If we report this now, won't we be in a passive position?"

Tang Huanjie nodded and said, "You're right, but if we keep it a secret, we'll be in an even more passive position."

"I didn't say we should keep it a secret, it's just that we don't have enough information right now, so we can't report it hastily. We haven't figured out Li Qi's identity yet."

Tang Huanjie quickly deflected his responsibility. "General Envoy, this matter has been investigated and clarified. His name is Song Zhuowen, he comes from Sea Eat Ridge, and he is a fifth-floor Walker. I reported this to you before."

Liao Zihui shook his head and said, "Something's not right. There's something suspicious about it."

Tang Huanjie was puzzled. "General Envoy, you've been saying there are suspicious points about this matter, but we've been analyzing it for so long and still haven't found any suspicious points."

Liao Zihui paused for a moment and said, "We need to continue investigating. We must find out Li Qi's identity and also investigate the situation in Kinless Village. We have far too little information."

Tang Huanjie disagreed with Liao Zihui's idea, but Liao Zihui had given the order, he dared not say anything more.

After Tang Huanjie left the office, Liao Zihui immediately had someone call in Deputy General Envoy Bai Zhiming.

"Zhiming, the Local Earth God of Kinless Village, Kinless Madam, are you still in contact with us?"

Bai Zhiming nodded and said, "She has a fairly good relationship with us, but as you know, there's a rule about Kinless Village. They always say things like 'not related by kinship'."

Liao Zihui nodded and said, "I know her temperament. Go and get a batch of Dark Matter Harmonizing Agent. Just say I approved it. Afterwards, have someone submit a signed report."

Take this batch of Harmonizing Agent and go immediately to Kinless Village. Ask the Local Earth God what exactly happened to the surrounding boundaries.

You must go in person, and get back to me immediately once you find out. Don't tell anyone else about this. Leave right now!

P. S.: What exactly happened to He Jiaqing? Did he overdo it with popularity, or did he get poisoned by steel wool?
