Chapter 166: Jade Rabbit, the Eternal Winner
The next morning.
With Meng Yu and Bai Qianqian's current level of cultivation, it was very normal to go days and nights without sleep; however, both had yet to make the final breakthrough. Bai Qianqian was too shy, and Meng Yu also felt that he was being too scummy, so both had some reservations.
Meng Yu had been online all night.
He had been quiet for seven months, and to many, this signified that Meng Yu wanted to submit and be co-opted. Then, many shameless scoundrels emerged—most of them at the Foundation Establishment or Golden Core levels—who did not believe Meng Yu would dare to venture into Second or Third-Order Minor Worlds, and they were instigated by others in the background.
For instance, this time it was Meng Yu's first post, and the transmission of his file was already banned. To many, this seemed like regular protocol, but Meng Yu smelled danger.
In the book "The Godfather," the old godfather asked before dealing with a Hollywood tycoon if the man had the balls.
So, what would happen if the answer was that the man did have the balls? Would the godfather dare to shoot the horse?
In Meng Yu's eyes, many faces appeared—Little Swallow, Teacher Li, Zhuge Caihua, the seven-year-old Little Flower Bear, and even the group of young people who had helped with the filming, among others.
Ouyang Jindan thought it was just a normal move to block Meng Yu, but what would the result be if everyone was blocking him, assuming he didn't have the guts?
In the era of savagery, it didn't matter what was normal; if someone stepped on you, you had to strike back!
Bai Qianqian brought over some Spirit Fruits and Vegetables obediently, while Meng Yu continued to think.
No one could help; some decisions had to be made alone.
At that moment, there was a disturbance outside. The employee from the communication company came, using a technique to project his voice over great distances, to report to Meng Yu about the recent ban and their powerlessness, and to convey their grievances and apologies, asking Meng Yu to forgive them.
On the surface, the company's customer service seemed excellent, but in reality, if Meng Yu didn't have a killer's blade, a ban meant a ban—they had banned countless others who couldn't even reach customer service!
Meng Yu's thesis, which so many were using without compensation—had they paid patent fees? Had they given even one Spirit Stone? No, not only had they used the ideas and intellect, but they also cursed Meng Yu as a fool while frantically registering patents and getting articles written to claim everything as their own!
"Qian Qian, let's head back first, then we'll quietly do some small business on the side at Immortal Sect, okay?"
"The people at Immortal Sect are nice, but we still need to make some preparations, buy some stuff."
"How could I deceive you?"
...
In Immortal Sect's Supreme Star, within a meeting room.
Contrary to what many thought, the Immortal Sect held Meng Yu's issue in high regard; right now, there were no less than six Golden Cores in this meeting room.
The topic of today's discussion was Meng Yu's account cancellation from yesterday.
"I was just following the rules; am I wrong to do that?"
Master Ouyang sneered as she looked at Master Lihua who was questioning her.
"What's more curious to me is you who have been facilitating your disciple to fawn over Meng Yu and provide various kinds of assistance. Do you really think we are all blind? Meng Yu is a criminal, a sinner who has killed thousands and caused losses totaling hundreds of billions. We are supposed to play house with such a person here, especially with the so-called Son of Heavenly Way project. Aren't you ashamed?"
Being a woman herself, she didn't hold back during the verbal clash.
She then began citing the regulations and facts, emphatically stating that it wasn't her who had overstepped but Meng Yu himself who was the problem.
In the meeting room, the discussion began.
And then... the conclusion reached was that Master Ouyang had done nothing wrong; it was Meng Yu who had leaked information, so this and that...
Everyone sounded very reasonable, and from any angle, Master Ouyang was not to blame.
But Master Lihua remembered that after Meng Yu's last statement, he went silent for seven consecutive months, not speaking again. Even after knowing that Zhuge Caihua was in Changdong Minor World, he still did not contact her, let alone meet her.
At the time, she thought Meng Yu's behavior was not good, but now she suddenly understood Meng Yu's painstaking efforts.

These people have it easy handling their daily business, with people licking their boots even before they make an effort, while someone like Meng Yu took years even to get a simple procedure done.
So, wasn't it normal to kill those who were strangling him?
How foolish of her to think that with the fifth powerhouse speaking, matters could be pushed aside?
How out of touch she was to believe that the disconnected elitists in Immortal Sect could possibly handle real affairs?
Looking at the proud Master Ouyang, Master Lihua was not even angry.
The so-called technical confidentiality often only applied to the lower echelons, used to suppress their publication of papers and their career progress. With Immortal Sect's many major publications featuring the latest research results, weren't those sensitive?
That document, according to her subordinates who were experts, contained brilliant ideas but did not overstep boundaries. It didn't differ from what was published in Immortal Sect's official journals. Even if it was canceled at the time, they could have reviewed it and then messaged Meng Yu to communicate that it had been reviewed, complied with the rules, and was now ready for transmission, and so on.
But Master Ouyang refused to rectify the situation, insisting she was right instead.
After another glance at her, Master Lihua smiled.
Master Ouyang was indeed a fortunate woman, born into privilege, exceptionally talented, and her ascent to the Golden Pill of Achievement was smooth. Perhaps she would never understand the difference between a lower-class individual and someone like her.
