The stampede has been successfully defeated.

Saw that one coming...

Your fault... Anyway. Same guy from ten years ago?

...Yeah. I guess. But whatever. Things have ended well.

Lang Tou! We won! The Stockade is safe!

The stampede has broken up. The beasts are running for their lives. Excellent job, people.

Now that was some intense exercise... Time to get back to business.

I've audited the construction. Looks good. I'll tell the boss... Ahem. I'll report the situation to Tianshi Zhuang.

But the farm is nothing like those built in Wuling City... Did she audit the thing properly?

The farm complex is a great benchmark. Now, for the final question—

Since the construction project is done, I wonder if Qingbo Stockade is interested in joining Wuling.

Never heard about this, Mi Fu. Since when was this part of the deal?

Never was. But with blades crossed and backs covered ... about time we talk about the future.

I mean...

NOPE! ZIP IT! DON'T YOU DARE!

Blades crossed and back covered? And that's an excuse to own us? Me and my grandkid built this thing together. Over our dead bodies, I say!

Grandkid? Now hold up!

We've suffered enough! Mess with Qingbo Stockade's peace, you mess with me! You gotta face my Three Super Dares!

Shut yer traps! First Dare! The trial of strength! BRING IT ON!

Fine. Keep it. If it's for the peace.

I'm done here. Hong Bo, my report is yours to write.

Why did the boss tell me to say all that... Ugh...

Lang Tou, stop messing with me!

What? Gonna write me out of your farm construction report? Look, kiddo. If it weren't for me, the stampede would have knocked us into the skies.

......

Hah! I remember every word! Built it side-by-side, bled side-by-side. No backing out now!

No, wait, He Lao—

What a blessed day! Alright, fam! Let's get this place tidied up for the ceremony! Qingwu, get me the setup!

No way...
