The guard squad responsible for city security was having a major headache. Watching Lin Wanxing bring dozens of refugees to haul away supplies, the guard captain's face turned completely green. Resources were currently very tight; how could they just give them away on demand?
Looking at the guards blocking her path, Lin Wanxing felt indignant.
Why can't you distribute the supplies? What you're doing is wrong!
The guard captain felt somewhat helpless, Miss Lin, there are strict regulations for supply distribution right now. Handing them out casually will cause serious problems.
What problems? Lin Wanxing put her hands on her hips, her face full of self-righteousness. These are living, breathing people. They are displaced and homeless. Are you going to withhold their supplies just because of some so-called regulations? How is this any different from leaving them to die?
Her choice of words made the guard captain frown. He patiently explained, Miss Lin, we also sympathize with their plight, but resources are limited right now. Everyone has a fixed quota. If we give them out now, later...
But Lin Wanxing refused to listen, continuing her moral grandstanding, As the guard squad, you are supposed to protect the people, yet here you are making excuses to shirk your duty. Is your responsibility really just to watch these people go hungry after suffering a disaster?
The guard captain looked at the beautiful young woman in front of him, a million curses galloping through his mind. In the past, he hadn't dealt much with this privileged third-generation elite and actually thought she was quite nice. Today, his idealized image of Lin Wanxing completely shattered.
Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, a refugee suddenly stepped out from the crowd. He tugged at Lin Wanxing's sleeve and whispered, Miss, maybe we should just forget it. We don't really want that much...
Lin Wanxing shook off his hand and declared loudly, No! The supplies promised to you must be delivered in full today! Feeling like she was losing face, she rolled her eyes and added, As the guard squad, you should protect the people, but here you are making excuses. If my grandfather knew how you handled things, he definitely wouldn't let you off!
The captain froze for a moment and nodded, I understand, Miss Lin... but...
I don't care, you must step aside! I already promised them!
Knowing he couldn't reason with this bleeding heart, the guard captain tried to consult the squad leader, only to hear Gu Heng sneer, I am the captain now, talk to me. Let me tell you, Wanxing's will is my will!
Lin Wanxing tightly grasped his hand, making Gu Heng even more resolute.
After a large batch of supplies was lavishly handed out by Lin Wanxing, the guard captain's voice finally came through the communicator.
Fang Zhiyi just smiled and said, I can't help it either. She's playing the good guy, so I can't exactly be the bad guy, right?
What am I supposed to do? She constantly uses her grandfather to pressure me! A lowly guard captain like me can't afford to offend her! The captain on the other end of the communicator was clearly anxious.
Since you can't resist, just follow orders. One is a captain, the other has major connections; either of them could crush you easily.
Why should I... You don't understand, now people actually think our guard squad is hoarding the supplies and stealing from the public!
You need to think about this carefully. What is a third-generation elite like her seeking by coming all the way out here? She just wants a stellar reputation. Once her reputation is established, won't her grandfather have to thank you? Won't the Lin family owe you a favor?
On the other end of the communicator, the guard captain paused for a moment before suddenly realizing, You mean, I should play along with her, so I can benefit from her family's influence later?
Ahem, I didn't say anything.
Say no more. You really don't need to say another word.
Hanging up the communicator, Fang Zhiyi hummed a little tune. If he guessed correctly, the original owner's rigid personality must have thwarted Lin Wanxing's ideas many times, not only drawing complaints but also unintentionally making him the villain.
Since that was the case, he would just let Lin Wanxing do whatever she wanted and stir up as much trouble as she pleased.
Turning around, he saw that Shen Yue had slipped in at some point and was staring directly at him.
Is something the matter? Fang Zhiyi asked casually.
Suddenly, several people lunged forward and pinned Fang Zhiyi down. Then, a copper coin was pressed against his forehead. After a moment, the copper coin remained completely unchanged.
This was one of their methods to determine if a human had been corrupted by anomalies.
The scene was incredibly awkward.
Ahem, Li Fei! I told you the captain was fine!
Li Fei! What kind of terrible idea was that!
Li Fei looked deeply aggrieved, pointing at himself, Why is it my fault again... But he was quickly gagged and dragged out by the others.
Shen Yue put away the copper coin, Captain, if you let her mess around like this, there will be major trouble.
Fang Zhiyi looked at her, stretching his arms, Isn't trouble exactly what we want?
Huh? Shen Yue froze for a moment, then suddenly stared at Fang Zhiyi with wide eyes. Captain, do you mean...?
Don't talk nonsense, I don't mean anything. Fang Zhiyi smiled like a cunning old fox. Since you guys are here, go help Miss Lin out. Help her build up that good reputation of hers.
Shen Yue thought for a moment, nodded, and retreated.
Although they didn't quite understand the order, out of sheer trust in Fang Zhiyi, they still went to execute it.
Is the boss trying to hit on her? Li Fei asked.
Zhao Lei remained silent.
Soon, Lin Wanxing's name spread throughout the entire city. Some people even learned that among the Guardians, there was a young lady from the prestigious Lin family who was practically a living Bodhisattva.
Lin Wanxing didn't know who was promoting her, assuming her good deeds had simply become known to everyone naturally. Her face was constantly beaming with a satisfied smile, and the whole city was filled with nothing but praise for her.
However, the situation for the squad was not very optimistic. First was the severe shortage of supplies. The team members, who originally had enough to eat, now had to strictly ration their meals. Facing this situation, Lin Wanxing merely said she would write a letter to her grandfather asking for more supplies, then turned around, hid in her room, and happily gorged on canned beef.
Even more outrageous things began to happen. Two team members had their arms deeply slashed by anomalies while protecting her and desperately needed medicine. However, she had just given their life-saving medicine to two pitiful children.
You are Guardians, you have strong bodies, you'll be fine if you just tough it out! Those two children are so weak! They need it much more! How can you be so selfish! Facing the accusations of the two men, Lin Wanxing acted as if she had suffered a massive grievance.
Gu Heng naturally stood by her side. Seeing this, he immediately scolded the two team members. The two injured men had to endure the agony until they returned to the city. In the end, their arms couldn't be saved and had to be amputated. Gu Heng simply filed disability reports for them, leaving the two men furious but too afraid to speak up.
Gu Heng naturally didn't care about the lives of his two subordinates. Unlike Fang Zhiyi, he had no room in his eyes for anyone but Lin Wanxing. Moreover, anomalous events had been occurring frequently lately, which kept Gu Heng quite busy. After all, these were all merits to be earned, the very stepping stones for his future climb up the ranks.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
