All I can say is that the driver was truly worthy of being the big boss's personal driver; his timing was absolutely brilliant.
Without taking any detours, as Wang Zheng and Li Guofeng's conversation drew to a close, the magnificent Lingxing Gate of Jingnan University came into view.
Subsequently, the convoy carrying the commander of the General Military Region drove in quietly through the main gate of Nanjing University.
Once the car had parked in front of the martial arts hall, Chu Tianxing was already waiting alone downstairs.
Chu Tianxing was somewhat surprised to see Wang Zheng get out of the car with Commander-in-Chief Li Guofeng. However, since they were distinguished guests, he didn't say much. He quickly went up to greet the Commander-in-Chief and then led him and the grandmaster upstairs.
Wang Zheng followed closely behind, watching all the guards disperse, and kept thinking to himself that the commander was indeed different, and the security measures were so thorough.
However, as soon as Wang Zheng pushed the door open, he heard the Commander-in-Chief and Chu Tianxing starting to reminisce about the past.
The two men kept reminiscing about the old days and being overly polite, with one saying, "You've worked so hard in Yunnan," and the other replying, "Managing the country's military affairs is what's truly exhausting." Wang Zheng shook his head at their words.
Wang Zheng was surprised that the two actually knew each other. He initially thought the Commander-in-Chief was just saying it casually, but it turned out to be quite serious.
They seem to be around the same age, so they must have known each other when they were in the military region...
After a long exchange of compliments lasting more than ten minutes, Li Guofeng didn't waste any time and directly took out a white jade box similar to the one before and placed it on the coffee table between the two of them.
Then, looking at Chu Tianxing, he slowly said:
"Please accept this small gift as a token of our appreciation. On behalf of the nation and all the people of Yunnan, I would like to express our sincere gratitude and heartfelt wish for your speedy recovery..."
Chu Tianxing had already received the news and knew that this was the result of the efforts of the kid standing outside with his thieving eyes looking around. So he didn't refuse and simply took the box and put it away.
But then Li Guofeng continued to take things out of his storage space.
In no time, the reception room was almost filled with liquid spiritual energy of various colors from the empty spirit crystal jars of all sizes.
Li Guofeng continued to explain:
"This is compensation from Major Wang Zheng for agreeing to participate in the 'Candle Flame Project' in case it would delay his studies. He said he had nowhere to put it and was afraid he wouldn't be able to keep it, so he asked me to keep it for you. Please keep it safe."
Before Chu Tianxing could react, Wang Zheng's thieving eyes immediately swept over Commander Li Guofeng.
Seeing the Commander-in-Chief constantly churning out these good things like a bottomless pit, Wang Zheng was incredibly envious.
Goodness, all these bottles and jars must add up to far more than 1,000 cubic meters. Does that mean his storage equipment is bigger than my storage space?
That's right. Wang Zheng suddenly remembered that Tang Guoan had said before that the vast majority of China's resources were stored on Li Guofeng. Does that mean...?
"hiss--"
Wang Zheng quickly shook his head to get rid of this suicidal idea. Not to mention that Commander Li himself was very likely to be a Grandmaster, even if he wasn't, there was a real Grandmaster behind him.
I dare not think about such things...
Wang Zheng's shifty-eyed appearance naturally caught the attention of the two men.
Chu Tianxing felt ashamed, while Li Guofeng found it amusing. He had rarely seen such a greedy and fearless guy who dared to plot against him.
Then he pointed at Wang Zheng and smiled at Chu Tianxing:
"Old Chu, this student of yours is something else. Not only did he swindle me out of so many demon king cores and liquid spiritual energy, but he also wants me to sign a contract of servitude, saying that he can exchange one demon beast core for the lives of ten demon kings in the future."
His filial piety is truly remarkable; I'm even a little tempted. How about I agree to his request and take the boy back to the capital? What do you think?"
Upon hearing this teasing remark, Old Man Chu immediately replied:
"The child is young and doesn't know any better, please don't take it personally. He doesn't even know his own limitations, so we can't let him run around like that again."
Then Lao Chu immediately turned his head and raised his eyebrows at Wang Zheng.
"Who asked you to meddle? Do I need your help? Get out of here and go cultivate."
Wang Zheng's vision went black. He realized that Li Guofeng had misunderstood him, and the investment plan was now completely ruined.
But this old man is cunning. If he had said it in the car, I would have agreed long ago.
Wang Zheng cursed inwardly, 'You think you know everything? Then why couldn't you guess that I really intended to absorb it myself and quickly transcend the mortal realm?'
As long as he absorbs it all first, he can go to the capital city then. Wang Zheng doesn't believe that he can't add up the dozens of attribute points he's missing with ten demon king inner cores.
Once you've transcended the mundane, what is there to fear?
At that time, we'll punch the Beijing Military Region and kick the Huazhong University of Science and Technology Research Institute. The grand finale: China's tyrant!
Wang Zheng didn't take Old Man Chu's reprimand to heart at all.
He desperately wanted to pounce on Commander Li, hang on his lap, and shout:
Who is Chu Tianxing? I don't know him at all. I mainly admire the environment of the capital and admire the wisdom and prowess of the Commander-in-Chief. I want to go to the capital to broaden my horizons!
Cough...cough...
Of course, these are all jokes. Given Wang Zheng's personality, he would definitely say such shameless things in secret, when no one is around.
After all, Old Man Chu was still here. Although Wang Zheng wanted to put down this narcissistic old man and not let him be too moved, he couldn't embarrass him too much in front of outsiders!
