Qin Zian was somewhat puzzled by the old man's invitation.

During the high-level meeting just now, the old man only spoke once.

That is, to suggest that a master of Chinese studies predicted a volcanic eruption and to advocate for the evacuation of overseas Chinese as soon as possible.

Judging from his attire, he was somewhat different from other leaders, and seemed to be someone well-versed in traditional Chinese culture.

When they reached a secluded spot, the old man stopped and scrutinized Qin Zi'an for a long while.

Finally, he nodded in approval and asked with a smile, "You lad... also have a profound understanding of traditional Chinese culture?"

"No."

Upon hearing Qin Zian's denial, the old man stroked his white beard and laughed even more heartily.

“You may fool others, but you can’t fool me. Putting aside your adventures and achievements over the past few months, that report on the volcanic eruption alone is no small matter.”

"The greatest heroes are those who serve their country and its people. But great achievements come late in life. No matter how capable you are, don't rush things. If you take a high position without being prepared, you will never be able to hold onto it."

Qin Zian noticed that the old man seemed to want to give him some pointers...

Although Qin Zian wasn't one for lecturing, he still felt a desire to continue the conversation with this unusual old man.

Therefore, Qin Zian rolled his eyes and followed the old man's lead.

They talked about self-cultivation, traditional Chinese culture, and then extended their conversation to the five thousand years of Chinese civilization.

During this conversation, Qin Zian also learned the old man's identity.

Old Chen is a renowned master of Chinese studies in China. He does not hold an official position, but he occasionally reports on things like prophecies.

Some of these prophecies came true, while others deviated from the expected course, but they were enough to prove that the old man was not an ordinary fortune teller.

The reason why Elder Chen appeared at the high-level meeting was because he reported the strange phenomenon in Yuzhou and led people to deduce that a volcanic eruption had occurred.

Although their timeline is after Qin Zian's, they still have the right to sit at the table and attend meetings due to their years of cooperation.

After this conversation, Old Chen grew to like Qin Zi'an more and more, and wished he could take him under his wing.

"Young Qin, I won't lie to you. Over a thousand Taoist priests are already on their way to Yuzhou. We're going to break this formation together."

Seeing Old Chen's smug look, Qin Zi'an's smile deepened.

Older people are so easy to fool; if you talk to them more deeply, you can get all sorts of information out of them.

In addition, Master Chen is now eager to take on disciples and is eager to show all his abilities.

However, for a staunch materialist like Qin Zi, he would respect metaphysical events, but he would not be obsessed with them.

Needless to say, he became a disciple of Master Chen.

Qin Zian's eyes darted around, and he asked with great interest, "Old man, isn't your broken formation particularly interesting? The scale is especially grand, isn't it?"

"That's natural! First, lightning and thunder stopped the downpour, lightning danced across the night sky, and the churning clouds changed colors..."

Old Chen described the scene of breaking the formation without any warning, and Qin Zi'an carefully memorized it.

But he wasn't there to join in; he was there to clean up the mess.

Thanks to the vigorous promotion of Yuzhou's culture and tourism, Yuzhou was already quite popular.

With such unusual weather now appearing, there are many different opinions and rumors circulating online.

Old Chen's words sound so mystical; it seems he's about to make a big move.

Even if the formation is broken in the dead of night, it will still alert the masses.

Regardless of whether Elder Chen and others have the ability, this phenomenon alone has already caused a great stir.

If what Mr. Chen said is true, then the online public opinion will probably be uncontrollable.

After all, Yuzhou has a permanent population of over 100 million, which is not something to be taken lightly.

However, if Qin Zian uses scientific knowledge and explains this natural phenomenon in a humorous way...

After such an entertaining explanation, netizens will surely think that this is just a joke, rather than something mystical.

As for what Elder Chen said about breaking the formation, whether or not it can achieve that effect is no longer important.

Anyway, the weather in Yuzhou right now is perfect for Qin Zian to do a science popularization live broadcast.

"How about it? Little Qin, do you want to break the formation with us? It doesn't matter if your cultivation is still shallow, you can just watch your master fight from the side."

It has to be said that Qin Zian is really good with words; he made Old Chen very happy.

Nowadays, even Mr. Chen has started referring to himself as "teacher".

However, Qin Zi'an had already achieved his goal, so he certainly wouldn't continue the conversation according to Old Chen's wishes.

"I think we should postpone it for now! I haven't even finished my publicity work yet."

"Look at you, can't people trust each other a little more?" Old Chen said, frowning.

"Old man, that's really not what I meant."

Old Chen snorted coldly, puffing out his beard and glaring, and said, "If you don't believe me, then don't sleep tonight. We'll start breaking the formation between three and five in the morning. You'll see that what I said is true after you watch."

Upon hearing Old Chen's words, Qin Zi'an's eyes lit up.

Qin Zian hadn't expected that his simple basic attack would force Old Chen to unleash his ultimate move.

In this way, Qin Zian was able to set the live stream time directly without having to calculate the optimal time.

Before Qin Zian could reply, Old Chen coughed lightly, feeling embarrassed.

"By the way! You absolutely mustn't tell anyone about this. We chose this time to break the formation because we wanted to solve the problem while everyone was still fast asleep, thus minimizing its impact."

Qin Zian chuckled and patted his chest, saying, "Old man, don't you trust me? I definitely won't tell any outsiders."

We are all one family in the Dragon Kingdom, there are no outsiders here.

They are all family.

In just a short while, Qin Zian had fooled Old Chen so much that... the only thing missing was the color of his underwear.

With this wealth of information on his mind, Qin Zian got up with satisfaction and decided to end the conversation.

"Old man, I have a live broadcast about culture and tourism tonight, so I'm not going to chat with you anymore."

"Alright! You go ahead with your work. But don't forget what's going on tonight. Breaking this formation... will be quite a sight," Old Chen reminded him with a smile.

"Don't worry! I won't forget between three and five o'clock."

After a brief farewell, Qin Zi'an parted ways with Old Chen.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Zian opened the official account of the Yuzhou Culture and Tourism Bureau and posted a live broadcast announcement.

Yuzhou Culture and Tourism Bureau: Family members, tune in to the Yuzhou Culture and Tourism Bureau live stream from 3:00 AM to 5:00 AM tonight, where Qin Zi'an will take you into the world of science.
