"There's one last thing." Sheng Wanshi coughed lightly, snapping out of the daze of being rubbed against the ground by Nian Qingfeng earlier. "I heard you gave the Ruan family the Wood Spirit Liquid, is that true?"
Jiang Wuyuan was slightly taken aback, not expecting Sheng Wanshi to say this: "Yes."
"The Ruan family sent someone to deliver a message. They originally wanted to find you, but since you've been staying with Nian Qingfeng recently, their people visited Nian Qingfeng's house instead."
However, since you were in Mozwest at the time, you weren't told about it immediately.
Now that you're back, it's time to meet them.
I've heard you have a good relationship with the young men of the Ruan family's generation, so it would be appropriate to meet them.
Sheng Wanshi certainly knew what the Ruan family had come for.
For prominent families, it was nothing more than exchanging gifts or inviting Jiang Wuyuan to their homes.
Jiang Wuyuan nodded: "Uncle Sheng, where are they now?"
“If you want to see him, then wait until I take you home, then we can meet at my house.” Sheng Wanshi glanced at him. “No one other than military personnel is allowed to enter the military headquarters without a reason.”
Jiang Wuyuan's lips twitched; he really wanted to ask a question.
Am I someone from the military?
Sheng Wanshi could tell what Jiang Wuyuan was thinking just by looking at his expression: "Your master's status makes you an exception."
In short, it's all about letting your abilities speak for themselves.
Jiang Wuyuan accepted this and nodded.
"I'll have someone deliver the things I just promised you to my house in a bit, and I'll give them to you then."
As for the crystallized water, it probably won't be available for a while, because the preparation work is quite complicated.
You can stay at my place for now; I'll let you know when it's time.
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Sheng."
"You're welcome."
...
Jiang Wuyuan spent the entire afternoon cultivating in Sheng Wanshi's office.
It's best if he doesn't wander around the military headquarters; after all, Sheng Wanshi reviewing official documents won't bother him.
That evening, Sheng Wanshi's adjutant drove the two of them home.
Sheng Wanshi's manor is not far from Nian Qingfeng's, almost just two streets away.
According to Sheng Wanshi, this area is mainly inhabited by high-ranking military personnel.
As soon as Jiang Wuyuan entered the house, he saw a nimble figure, like a butterfly, rushing towards Sheng Wanshi.
"Grandpa!" The girl pressed her face against Sheng Wanshi's chest, rubbing against him happily.
Sheng Wanshi's face, which had been tense all day, finally broke into a clear smile: "Nannan, come down first, we have guests."
As he spoke, he turned Sheng Yan'an around so that she was facing Jiang Wuyuan.
“This is your grandfather’s apprentice, Jiang Wuyuan. You can just call him Uncle Jiang.”
"Uncle Jiang!" Sheng Yan'an's voice was clear, lively, and very pleasant to hear.
Jiang Wuyuan didn't expect his seniority to rise so quickly, even though this little girl looked only three or four years younger than him.
But Jiang Wuyuan still nodded slightly to her: "Hello."
“Xiao Yuan, this is my granddaughter, Sheng Yan’an.” Sheng Wanshi patted Sheng Yan’an’s head. “Go play by yourself. Your Uncle Jiang and I have something to talk about.”
"Okay—" Sheng Yan'an skipped away.
"Let's go to the study to talk."
Jiang Wuyuan lifted his foot to follow.

at the same time.
Night Owl Headquarters.
Elder Yin Zique stood respectfully in front of Hua Fuye, recounting the gains of this operation.
"...Fengchang Ancient Kingdom captured a total of 16,733 teenagers, most of whom had B-level talent or above."
"This quantity is much lower than last time," Hua Fuye chuckled. "But let's leave it at that for now. Have they all been sent to the lab?"
"It's already been sent."
"Well done." Hua Fuye propped his head up and blinked.
"So, what's Xiao Pei's plan?"
Yin Zique paused for a second upon hearing this question.
"It was unsuccessful."
"Oh?" Hua Fuye raised an eyebrow, seemingly unsurprised. "What about that little guy he took a liking to?"
Yin Zique narrowed his eyes, and for a moment he recalled not the formation that had almost smashed his projection to pieces.
It was the astonishing sword intent emanating from the young man.
"Unique in this world."
Yin Zique heard himself give such an evaluation at the end.
"Really? Now that you mention it, I'm quite curious myself." Hua Fuye smiled. "Go and bring Xiao Pei over. I have something to say to him."
"Yes, Lord Palace Master."
...
Before long, Pei Feng entered the main hall.
This was one of the few opportunities he had to enter the main hall.
"Lord of the Palace," Pei Feng bowed respectfully.
"Little Pei, I've already heard about the outcome of your plan from the Grand Elder." Hua Fuye didn't put on airs, chatting with Pei Feng as if it were a casual conversation. "What are your thoughts?"
Pei Feng pursed his lips.
He felt like a complete failure!
It was clearly the first time he had taken the initiative to show his talent in front of the Palace Master, but it ended in failure.
That's so embarrassing.
"Lord of the Palace, I want to enter the Blood Pool." Pei Feng's eyes were filled with madness and determination.
Hua Fuye was genuinely surprised this time.
His young heir is good in every way, except that he is somewhat averse to using methods like blood pools to enhance his own power.
The so-called Blood Pool is a place specifically for raising people with high talent.
They don't need to be loyal, as long as they are talented.
Once these people's cultivation reaches the Grandmaster level or above, a special method will be used to draw out all the blood from their bodies and store it in a pool.
