First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!-Chapter 762: Caught Off Guard — The First to Launch a Sneak Attack on Lu Ding

As soon as these words were spoken, Fu Xinghe was stunned for a moment.

How come the old man who was just protecting Chu Xiao a moment ago was now turning around and wanting to take him as a disciple?

Was that reasonable?

Unable to figure it out, he turned his head to look at Brother Lu.

Only to find that Lu Ding was also deep in thought.

This plot development........

Lu Ding always felt something wasn't quite right.

Even if the old man wasn't taking Chu Xiao as a disciple anymore.

Normally speaking, shouldn't he have taken a liking to him instead?

And then taken him as a disciple.

Why was he going for Xinghe?

Of course, even if the old man made that offer, Lu Ding would have politely declined.

Why would he want to find a master for himself out of the blue?

He lacked nothing right now, he had his own cultivation methods, his Golden Finger provided techniques, and he could earn resources himself.

If Lu Ding really had such thoughts, or if there were truly suitable conditions.

It would definitely be the Crooked-Mouth Old Man and Elder Deng.

One had looked after him before he had even started developing.

One had formed a connection with him during his childhood, bestowing upon him the secret methods of the Mystic Sect and Feng Shui techniques.

If it weren't for the Crooked-Mouth Old Man's Feng Shui book, Lu Ding probably wouldn't have been able to encounter the Nanshan Stubborn Stone.

He wouldn't even have gotten an interview.

He raised his eyes to look at Fu Xinghe.

The two communicated with their eyes.

Lu Ding: 'What do you think?'

Fu Xinghe: 'I don't know, I've never experienced this kind of thing before.'

He was only in his twenties.

Not much older than Lu Ding.

When the Great Han was developing rapidly and entering the technological era, Fu Xinghe wasn't even a glimmer in anyone's eye.

He came out to elite education, then followed the policy through nine years of compulsory education, aside from hiring private tutors.

He hadn't taken any shortcuts at all.

Comparing to reality, whose good kid these days takes a master?

They all go to school.

Having lived for so many years, you want Fu Xinghe to take a master?

Even if this Old Man Long truly had some real skills.

But just thinking about having a father at home, and then finding another father outside...

The pressure at home was already big enough.

This Old Man Long didn't look easy to get along with, and there was also a teacher in the new city who, while not having the title of master and disciple, had the substance of one.

Fu Xinghe immediately shuddered.

His head was about to explode.

Everywhere he looked, there were people who could boss him around.

He still had to serve as Brother Lu's assistant investigator.

You can't work a donkey like this!!!!

Forcing himself to slow his tone and politely decline, he said, "Thank you for your high regard, Old Leader, but I am truly too busy. Brother Lu can't manage without me by his side."

Lu Ding quickly chimed in. Since Xinghe had already expressed a desire to refuse.

He absolutely had to back him up: "Yes, that's right!"

"As you can see, with my temper, when we're working, the pen Xinghe uses to write reports and documents practically smokes from how fast he has to write. There's really no time to spare."

Old Man Long seemed somewhat unwilling to give up.

Lu Ding was one thing; Old Man Long hadn't dared to set his sights on Lu Ding from the start.

He couldn't teach him.

With the little he had, given Lu Ding's talent, it wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.

But Fu Xinghe was refusing too.

Old Man Long said, "I'm not troublesome. If it really doesn't work, I can apply to accompany you. After all, I'm also an investigator. Although I've stepped back to the second line, I haven't retired. And I don't have any tasks on hand, my assigned district has been relinquished too."

This situation of an investigator accompanying someone.

Was a special case.

It wasn't impossible.

But the conditions had to be met.

Just like military dependents accompanying service members.

But as soon as these words left his mouth, Old Man Long regretted it. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he felt it wasn't appropriate.

Lu Ding was a special envoy carrying out classified missions.

Fu Xinghe was his assistant investigator, so they definitely had to be together.

If it was all classified, he, an outsider........

Old Man Long said somewhat dejectedly, "Old and useless, I......."

Before he could finish, Fu Xinghe's eyes lit up. If you had said so earlier, that you could accompany us, wouldn't that have been settled?

He stepped forward to support the dejected Old Man Long: "Old Leader, we can discuss this."

Lu Ding: ??????

Your face-changing act is way too fast, isn't it?

Couldn't you give me a heads-up next time?

You caught me completely off guard, you're the first one to successfully ambush me.

Old Man Long suddenly looked up, somewhat incredulous: "Discuss?"

Fu Xinghe nodded heavily.

Thoughts surged in his heart.

Whether it was in the new city or this time returning.

How much had he, Fu Xinghe, benefited from following Lu Ding?

It was too much to count.

Although, finding a master for himself was something Fu Xinghe wasn't too willing about.

But as a secretary, an assistant investigator, his sole principle was to serve his leader diligently, running ahead and behind.

'To repay the ruler's intent on the golden platform, to wield the jade dragon and die for the lord.'

Right now, Brother Lu was short on people, especially high-end combat power. Every time he saw Lu Ding working non-stop, running everywhere, fighting battles big and small, opening his eyes just to fight.

Fu Xinghe felt exhausted just watching Lu Ding.

Now there was high-end combat power delivered right to his doorstep!

This had to be accepted!

Brother Lu had done so much for him, what was just a master?

Even if it meant making Fu Xinghe carry a pack of explosives to blow up a bunker, if he so much as frowned, he'd be a stepchild.

How many chances does one get in life to stand out and show face?

At this very moment, looking across the entire younger generation of the Fu family, forget about whether they were his peers or not, who under thirty, thirty-five years old, had as much face as he did?

No one!

Not a single one!

Even the Principal of the Hanjing 749 Reserve University now treated him with equal courtesy.

Aside from his uncle who didn't bear the Fu surname, throughout the entire Fu family, from top to bottom, he was the one with the most damn face.

Thinking of this, Fu Xinghe's expression turned serious.

"Yes, discuss. I'm just afraid that running around with us might tire out your old bones, Master. Your disciple would be heartbroken."

Fu Xinghe, oh Fu Xinghe, you sure change your tune fast.

Old Man Long's body trembled with excitement: "Disciple?!"

"Then what should you call me?"

Fu Xinghe's tone was firm: "Master!"

Old Man Long's somewhat hunched body slowly straightened: "Louder."

Fu Xinghe: "Master!"

Another shout rang out.

The back Old Man Long had twisted earlier didn't hurt anymore, his back was straight now, like a carefully pruned young tree, standing perfectly upright.

His expression was one of pure enjoyment: "Once more... one more time."

Fu Xinghe decided to go all the way, directly dropping to one knee. As the saying goes, a man's knees hold gold beneath them, and now was the time to cash in.

He clasped his fists and raised them above his head: "Master above, please accept this bow from your disciple!"

Lu Ding took one look.

Well then!

Face-changing, is it?!

I can do that too!

Isn't it just flattery?

Isn't it just assists?

A main DPS who can't play support well isn't righteous.

He immediately took out the random stuff Yan Feifan had prepared for him earlier from the Red Coffin.

Inside were things like teacups and wine cups.

And three bottles of authentic aged liquor.

He filled a cup directly.

Placed the cup onto Fu Xinghe's upraised hands.

Lu Ding stood to the side, his posture upright, his aura surged, instantly piercing a hole through the dark clouds covering the sky.

A pillar of light descended.

Directly illuminating the kneeling Fu Xinghe and Old Man Long, whose old brain was turning a bit slow and hadn't reacted yet.

Then they heard Lu Ding speak from the side.

"In my capacity as a 749 Bureau Special Envoy Investigator, I witness and declare, the master-disciple ceremony is complete!!!"
