Back in the room, Qin Muyuan observed his younger sister's expression and carefully said, "You don't need to worry about Gu Qingshan, he..."
The rest of his words came to an abrupt end under the girl's questioning gaze.
Qin Muyuan: "...Alright then."
He found out.
Someone like Gu Qingshan isn't even worthy of being taken seriously by his little sister.
However, after thinking about it, he still reminded him: "Gu Qingshan's father, Gu Jihai, was also originally a member of the Dark Division, but now, like Dad, he has retired."
"But before stepping down, Gu Jihai was the most popular candidate for leader in the previous term, but he was ultimately defeated by my father, who was parachuted in. So our family and the Gu family are sworn enemies."
"The Gu family has considerable influence in Tiandu now. Be careful if you encounter anyone from the Gu family outside."
Meeting the worried gazes of Qin Zheng and Qin Muyuan, Qin Sheng paused, then nodded: "I understand."
Qin Muyuan's eyes crinkled with laughter, and he couldn't help but pinch the little girl's cheek: "Our Shengsheng is so well-behaved."
Qin Sheng: "..."
Why do people always resort to physical violence when they can just talk?
Perhaps they have too much freedom of movement.
So Qin Sheng turned to Xu Chi, who was following beside him, and said, "Your leader's injuries are too severe, and he is not suitable for any activity. He should rest in bed for the next week and not go anywhere."
Turning to meet Qin Muyuan's stunned gaze, she calmly uttered two words: "Doctor's orders."
Qin Muyuan: "..."
Okay, you're the doctor, so you decide.

Qin Sheng was ultimately unable to descend the mountain that day.
Lu Yanqing was so angry that he vomited blood and felt unwell. In addition, due to Lu Fei's attack, the firewall of the Dark Division was seriously damaged. A group of technicians strongly invited Qin Sheng to join the great cause of repairing the firewall.
Qin Sheng, of course, refused.
However, she could refuse people, but she couldn't refuse money.
After Qin Muyuan hired Qin Sheng at a high salary to maintain the Dark Division's firewall and received the support of the vast majority of the Dark Division members, Qin Sheng finally decided to compromise his principles for a living and became a diligent worker.
Qin Sheng and Qin Muyuan did not return to the Qin family manor until the evening of the next day, and they also brought Lu Yanqing back with them.
Oh, and there's also Hua Zhen who stubbornly clings to their car door and insists on coming along.
"Boss, regarding the previous acupuncture treatment, I..."
"Just call me Qin Sheng."
Hua Zhen paused, then changed her address: "Miss Qin."
Qin Sheng didn't correct her, but coldly refused, "I have to go to school, I don't have time."
Hua Zhen's mouth dropped open in disbelief, as if she couldn't believe what she had just heard: "Up...up what?"
Qin Sheng stopped and said seriously, "You're going to school, so you don't need to follow me. I don't have time to discuss medical techniques with you."
Hua Zhen suddenly came to his senses and shook his head repeatedly, saying, "No, no, with my meager medical skills, how could I be worthy to communicate with you? I just hope to stay by your side, admire your unparalleled beauty, and feel the profound aura of a medical god emanating from you. I feel that my medical skills are improving rapidly."
Qin Sheng: "..."
Is this guy just back from learning from some cult?
Hua Zhen carefully observed Qin Sheng's expression, and seeing that she remained unmoved, she couldn't help but feel miserable.
As expected of the big boss Shifang, he is indeed as difficult to deal with as rumored, no, even more difficult!
Just then, Hua Zhen caught a glimpse of Lu Yanqing being helped by Qin Zheng and walking ahead. Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she immediately stepped forward and said, "Miss Qin, you said you have to go to school, which means you're not at home most of the time, right?"
"Then?"
Hua Zhen said in a serious tone: "You see, the reason you and your father invited Old Master Lu to stay at our home is because you were worried about his health and couldn't rest easy with him. In that case, wouldn't it be much more convenient if there were a doctor with decent medical skills stationed at the Qin family home, so that Old Master Lu or other family members could be called upon at any time for minor illnesses?"
“Most importantly,” Hua Zhen said seriously, “this doctor doesn’t charge any money!”
Qin Sheng finally paused, turned her head and asked, "What do you want?"
Seeing that she was finally showing some sign of relenting, Hua Zhen breathed a slight sigh of relief and immediately said, "I just hope that when you go out on medical missions in the future, you can take me with you to assist you. Also..."
Hua Zhen glanced at her cautiously, and seeing that she didn't seem upset, she steeled herself and said, "I recently acquired a sorghum plant, but after more than two months of nurturing it, it hasn't improved and is even showing signs of withering. I would like to ask you for your help."
Qin Sheng stopped in her tracks, her fingers clenching at her side until they turned white. She asked in a strained voice, "You just said, 'Heavenly millet seed'?"
Her reaction surprised Hua Zhen, who instinctively took a step back and asked nervously, "Wh...what's wrong?"
Qin Sheng's throat tightened: "Where?"
Hua Zhen hesitated for a moment, then took down the medicine box she was carrying, opened the first compartment of the box, revealing a space about one and a half hand-widths high underneath, where a herb with yellowing leaves lay quietly.
Qin Sheng's gaze suddenly froze.
After a long pause, she withdrew her gaze, her usually cool voice now husky: "Tian Shuzi, could you part with it?"
Hua Zhen was surprised that she would be so interested in the sorghum seed and couldn't help but exclaim "Ah!"
Qin Sheng's fingers tightened: "The price is negotiable. In addition, I can teach you the Seventeen Acupuncture Points."
Hua Zhen's words, "It's free, you can take it if you want," were suddenly cut off, and she was so surprised that she couldn't say anything.
The seventeenth acupoint... the seventeenth acupoint!
His heaven, his earth, his parents and ancestors—did he hear me correctly?!
The powerful figure from the Ten Directions Sect actually said he would teach her unique Seventeen Acupoint Needles technique to him!
Qin Sheng waited for a while, but didn't receive a reply. Her brows furrowed slightly, and she pursed her lips before continuing, "If you have any other requests, you can make them."
Hua Zhen shook her head repeatedly: "No, no, I'm content as long as I can learn from you, I have no other requests."
As he spoke, he took the sorghum seed out of the medicine box with both hands and respectfully presented it to Qin Sheng: "No need for money. I asked you to take a look because I couldn't bear to see this endangered herb completely disappear from the world. To be honest, even if I successfully cultivated this sorghum seed, I wouldn't know how to use it."
"It is its good fortune to have been chosen by you."
That's a very sincere statement.
In this world, there are few people who can revive this sorghum plant, even fewer who can uncover its true value, and for it to fall into the hands of Shi Fang, the god of medicine, is truly a stroke of good fortune.
Qin Sheng looked at the withered herbs in front of her, her usually calm eyes flickering slightly.
After twelve years, she finally found it.
