Chapter 36 Chen Xingheng's Visit
The next morning, Gu Qing went to check on the vegetables in the greenhouse. They were growing quickly and would be ready to eat in two more days.
The medicinal herbs will be ready to harvest in another month. This time, she doesn't plan to sell them; she'll keep them for her own medicinal concoctions. She pulled up all the unfamiliar plants that had grown out of the ground, then summoned a small cloud to fly over them.
The little gray-black cloud came back with a sigh. Gu Qing couldn't help but be charmed by its cuteness and rubbed it before snapping out of her reverie.
Gu Qing went back to prepare dinner when Chen Xingheng sent her a message: "Qingqing, I'm finally done with work. I've sorted out a lot of seeds. Do you have time? I'll bring them to you."
Gu Qing happened to need to confirm something with him, so of course she didn't refuse. "Then come over here, I don't have anything planned for today."
Chen Xingheng tidied himself up and was about to leave the camp on his flying vehicle. However, he was intercepted by the bamboo slip halfway there.
"Xingheng, why are you all dressed up like this?"
Chen Xingheng belongs to Bo Chuan's personal guard. Their abilities and family backgrounds have been carefully selected through multiple rounds of screening. These people train and grow up together.
Although they weren't blood brothers, the bond they formed fighting together was extraordinary. Especially Chen Xingheng, who was the top man in the personal guard.
Chen Xingheng tossed the hand that was already on his shoulder off. "Our chief strategist, how come you have time to care about me? You're such a busy man, go ahead and do what you need to do. I have things to do."
"Why don't you talk to your buddy? Maybe I can give you some advice."
Hearing this, Chen Xingheng glanced at him sideways. "A perpetual bachelor like you has the nerve to give me advice? I'm afraid you'll lead me to a contaminated area."
He shook off her hand and walked out. Zhu Jian called after him for a long time, and only returned to his office after she had completely disappeared.
The door was pushed open with a bang. Bo Chuan frowned, but his hand didn't stop writing; after all, he was used to this kind of scene.
After Zhu Jian came in, he sat down in the chair opposite him. "Hey, boss, let me tell you, that kid Chen Xingheng is really interested in Gu Qing. He dressed up really smartly to meet her today."
"Isn't this fine?" Bo Chuan thought it was no big deal; Zhu Jian was always making a fuss over nothing.
"How can it be good? Although Chen Xingheng sometimes seems a bit unreliable, that's all on the surface."
In terms of ability, family background, and looks, how could Gu Qing be a match for him? She doesn't know how she fell for him after just one meeting, and now she can't get out.
"Wasn't it you who fueled this? I remember you were the one who provided the detailed information. Why are you so worried now?"
Bo Chuan just doesn't understand the nature of bamboo slips; he always likes to stir up trouble and then worry about this and that.
"Who would have thought this kid would fall into this trap so easily? No, I have to give him some serious advice. At the very least, I need to find someone with B-level or higher talent."
With more resources, someone could easily reach A+ in cultivation; what future can an F-level cultivator possibly have?
He muttered to himself as he got up to leave.
"Stop right there." Bo Chuan moved his finger and the stylus in his hand disappeared. The electronic screen that looked like a notebook was also put away.
Then he pinched the space between his eyebrows with his right hand. "Bamboo slip, Chen Xingheng is already 25 years old. His family background is as complicated as a polluted area."
Do you think he doesn't understand what he wants? Or is it that Gu Qing can coerce him?
Bamboo Slip sat back down.
Bo Chuan took a sip of water. "Besides, Gu Qing isn't as bad as you say. It's only been a little over three months since he was diagnosed, and he's already risen from F-level to E-level."
Such speed is either due to exceptional talent, extraordinary perseverance, or remarkable luck; whatever it may be, she is far from mediocre.
Therefore, Chen Xingheng wouldn't be at a disadvantage if she married him.
"Really? It's already reached Rank E." The bamboo slip was somewhat incredulous.
"You really should undergo some intensive training. Although her spiritual body has never appeared in the Federation before, it is different from previous F-rank beings in every aspect."
"Sigh! I was so focused on looking at the person that I didn't pay much attention to her spiritual form. If it's really like what you said, Chen Xingheng might have struck gold."
As he spoke, Zhu Jian leaned back in his chair, relaxing completely, and rubbed his chin with his hand, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
He returned to being the resourceful chief of staff.
“I know you feel sorry for what that kid went through, so you get impulsive when it comes to his affairs, but he’s all grown up now and needs to settle down and start a family. You should let go a little.”
Chen Xingheng arrived at Gu Qing's courtyard on his flying vehicle. He took a deep breath and straightened his clothes before ringing the doorbell.
The projected screen confirmed the visitor's identity, and the door and defensive barrier opened automatically. He entered with measured steps.
Gu Qing stood at the door to greet him, "You came so fast! I thought I'd have to wait a bit." She then invited him in.
The two sat on the sofa while the butler went to make him freshly squeezed juice.
Seeing how fluently she spoke to him, Chen Xingheng suddenly felt less nervous.
He smiled, revealing a row of bright white teeth, "I was just worried you'd get impatient waiting, and I didn't want to delay your next task."
Then he started emptying his space and finally took out a bunch of energy boxes. "These are some seeds I got. Most of them are low-pollution, but some are pure."
You can take a look for yourself and see which one suits you best; I don't know much about this.
Gu Qing picked up a box nearby to examine it, "Then I won't stand on ceremony with you, this is exactly the kind of thing I need."
"No need to be so polite with me."
