Chapter 278: I Will Never Drink Again

[You listen to his words, falling into silence.]

[A top scorer from Central Plains, why study celestial officer studies?]

[And what is there to research about the celestial officers?]

[Especially a top scorer, a true favorite of the heavens, like this celestial officer before you, who has high scores in both cultural and martial subjects. A talent like this should be devoted to the study of martial arts if he is not a fate bearer.]

[Studying celestial officer studies would be a waste of talent.]

[As for their strange behaviors regarding the celestial officers, that’s easily explained because the Demigod of the Ghost Spirit clan ultimately helped you fight the Demigod of the Holy Spirit clan, leaving you with a relatively good impression of them.]

[So, it is entirely normal for the celestial officers to only execute a heavenly light on the female Demigod of the Ghost Spirit clan while ignoring the other Demigods of the Ghost Spirit clan.]

[From this, it can be seen that the celestial officers have been paying attention to you all along.]

[On October 15th, the celestial officers patrol!]

[On this day, you need to keep a close watch.]

[Perhaps you can hide near the Holy Spirit realm on this day, and after the celestial officers break the protective formation of the Holy Spirit clan, you can seize the opportunity to collect some unclaimed items.]

[With the celestial officers’ admiration for the God of Wealth, if they see it, they will find a way to cover for you.]

[What can the Demigods of the Holy Spirit clan do when they see you? When the celestial officers come knocking, would they dare to act against you?]

[Oh, clever God of Wealth! You suddenly think of a brilliant idea. Perhaps on that day, before the celestial officers go on their patrol, you can visit the Holy Spirit realm and insult and humiliate the Holy Spirit clan in various ways.]

[As long as the Holy Spirit clan makes a move against you, the celestial officers will have enough reason to eradicate the Holy Spirit clan that day.]

[Seventy celestial officers, seventy powerful Demigods, at least powerful in your understanding; as for how strong the celestial officers truly are, you do not know.]

[What a shame it would be not to utilize such allies and not give the enemy any excuses!]

[Since the celestial officers wait until October 15th to emerge from the Arrow Realm and act so openly and fearlessly, they must know that on this day, the dark chains will not interfere with them.]

[Or perhaps, on October 15th, the dark chains are aware of the celestial officers’ emergence and have even tacitly approved it.]

[If that’s the case, everything starts to make sense.]

[Perhaps the patrol of the celestial officers is also the main reason the Holy Spirit clan only dares to secretly target you in the sub-timelines but not expose themselves to your view.]

[The celestial officers have always been watching you.]

[If the Holy Spirit clan dares to make a move, the celestial officers will strike with ten times their strength, and this strength is even acknowledged by the dark chains!]

[So, the dark chains that can bend the sky also belong to your side?]

Su Wen’s eyes flicker as he reads this.

The Holy Spirit clan is quite wealthy!

[Look at their clothing, their way of speaking—who doesn’t exude an aura of wealth?]

[With such wealth and being your enemy, and with the celestial officers patrolling, if you don’t take a stroll in the Holy Spirit realm, wouldn’t that be a disservice to the fight you had yesterday?]

[It’s worth it! In fact, it might even be a small profit!]

[“Boom!”]

At that moment, a massive roar echoed from outside.

The building of the organization trembled slightly under the impact.

Thankfully, the building wasn’t a shoddy construction; it was built solidly. Otherwise, with the intensity of the shaking, it might have collapsed.

“What’s going on?”

Su Wen stepped out of the God of Martial Arts’ office and saw the battle attire of the God of Theater moving on its own, surrounded by a chaotic aura. He couldn’t help but ask.

“Huff…”

The God of Theater took a deep breath, calming himself before turning to speak. “You mentioned before that the Fighting God killed you, but I didn’t know the details. I just thought it was a tragedy.”

“On my way back, the Star God sent me the footage. I watched it several times.”

He glanced at the Fighting God, his tone filled with disappointment. “I really…”

“Being a bit foolish is one thing, and being driven by love is understandable.”

“But to be manipulated by a Fighting Rage Ritual and let mere words cloud your judgment? That’s unworthy of a divine fate bearer!”

“It’s embarrassing!”

Beside him, the Fighting God sat quietly, not daring to speak.

“God of Theater, the Fighting God has realized his mistake,” Su Wen interjected. “There’s no need to be so angry. We’re aware of the outsiders’ tactics. We just need to stay vigilant.”

The God of Theater sighed. “But as long as the Fighting God has weaknesses, he’ll always be a target.”

“Always falling for tricks and schemes!”

“In this world, can you really guard against thieves forever?”

“Can you truly prevent it?”

After a moment of silence, the Fighting God suddenly spoke up. “I promise, I won’t date or get married again. If I eliminate those thoughts, the outsiders won’t be able to manipulate me.”

Feeling unsure, he added, “And I’m going to quit drinking too.”

“I’ll never drink again.”

Romance leads to trouble!

Alcohol leads to trouble!

This time, he truly understood.

“No, no, no, you don’t need to feel so guilty,” Su Wen said quickly. “As the God of Fighting, you should embrace your combat heart and move forward bravely. If you hold back, how can you fulfill your role?”

“Don’t worry, I’ve got your back. If there’s a problem, just let me know, and we’ll fix it before it gets out of hand.”

Su Wen didn’t oppose the Fighting God’s decision to avoid romance; in fact, he supported it.

But he wasn’t so sure about giving up alcohol.

Alcohol was the Fighting God’s greatest pleasure, almost his only indulgence outside of battle.

After years of defending the nation and dedicating his life to the cause, wasn’t it too harsh to deny such a hero a drink?

Besides, the Fighting God only ever drank to a light tipsy state and had never caused any problems because of it.

Of course, the main reason was that when trouble arose, his power would instantly evaporate the alcohol within him.

So drinking was never an issue and didn’t affect anything.

Even though Su Wen didn’t care for alcohol himself, he would never impose his preferences on others.

That just wasn’t right!

“Alright, alright, let’s drop this topic,” Su Wen said, changing the subject. “Let me share some good news!”

“On October 15th, the celestial officers will be on patrol, and we can go stake out the Holy Spirit clan.”

The God of Theater was momentarily surprised, then his eyes lit up. “Tell me more.”

He hadn’t paid much attention to what the God of Martial Arts had said earlier, but the idea of visiting the Holy Spirit clan intrigued him.

He had been to the Holy Spirit realm once before.

It was enormous!

The decor was exquisite!

And they were incredibly wealthy!

If they could spend some time there, China might not have to worry about money for a long while.
