Qin Sheng spent a certain amount of time shopping, but it wasn't a short time either.
It took about an hour.
When she returned, although she still looked as aloof as ever, Ye Fu and Cheng Rang could clearly sense that she was in a bad mood.
The two powerful figures who wielded absolute authority in the ancient martial arts world... no, they were the ones whose word was law. In an instant, Cheng Rang swallowed back all the words he wanted to say to Qin Sheng, and even lowered his booming voice, which hadn't changed in eight hundred years.
He lowered the box that his master, who bullied the weak (Cheng Rang) and feared the strong (Qin Sheng), had asked him to give to Qin Sheng, and said in a soft voice, "These are the two remaining vitality fruits from my master's possession. You can take them first, and if it's not enough, he can ask other families for more."
Can you imagine a burly man who is 1.9 meters tall and weighs 180 pounds speaking to you in a high-pitched voice?
Having grown accustomed to Cheng Rang's loud voice, Qin Sheng was stunned for a couple of seconds upon hearing him speak like this. After a moment, a faint smile appeared in her eyes: "That's enough."
He reached out and took the box.
Lin Sihe's illness could flare up at any time, so Qin Sheng couldn't stay outside for long. Therefore, after obtaining the Life Fruit, she asked Fu Jingheng to take her away.
The Fu Jingheng space shuttle departed again, and in a flash, it carried Qin Sheng across most of China, returning her to Tiandu.
It was the same alley where I had parked before, and the car was still parked in the same spot, except that Mo Tian was now standing next to it.
Hearing the noise, he quickly turned around and looked over. When he saw that Fu Jingheng and Qin Sheng were safe and sound, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that you're alright.
God knows how he survived those two hours when he suddenly couldn't contact anyone or even locate them; he was terrified.
If they had returned two hours later, he might have been unable to resist informing Mo Xuanmo to go and confront the Black Prison head-on.
Fu Jingheng nodded to Mo Tian, opened the car door for Qin Sheng to get in, then walked around to the other side and got into the car, instructing Mo Tian, "Go to the old president of the Academic Association first."
Mo Tian knew what had happened at Tiandu University that morning, and of course he also knew that Qin Sheng had taken over the old president's illness, so he had been keeping a close eye on the situation.
At this moment, Fu Jingheng gave the order, and they immediately drove to the destination.
It's right here in the academic association.
It's very close by; it only took me less than twenty minutes to reach my destination.
This time, Fu Jingheng didn't accompany her; he only saw Qin Sheng off to the building where the association was located before leaving.
Qin Sheng gazed at the building she hadn't visited in a long time, her eyes darkening slightly, before stepping inside.
The academic association's building isn't very tall; it only has thirteen floors.
Beyond the lobby on the first floor and the common classrooms on the second floor, each floor above corresponds to a different membership level, from level one to the top level, from the third floor to the thirteenth floor.
It was already around four o'clock in the afternoon, not yet lunchtime, so there weren't many people coming and going.
Qin Sheng took out her identification card and went straight to the thirteenth floor.
The usually quiet thirteenth floor was unusually lively at this moment.
Members of the old chairman's faction, including Dong Jingzhang and Shan Qiliang, were all guarding the area, while even Zuo Zhonghua and others were watching from a distance.
At this moment, they, like Dong Jingzhang and the others, were eagerly hoping that the old chairman could pull through this hurdle and recover from his illness.
After all... if the old chairman were still alive, no matter how ugly this matter became, given their many years of friendship, he would probably have spared their lives in the end, considering his personality.
But it's hard to say what will happen if the old chairman leaves.
Putting aside the fact that Qin Sheng himself doesn't seem easy to get along with, the fact that they indirectly helped the Duanmu family kill the old chairman means that, given Qin Sheng's relationship with the old chairman, even if it's to avenge him, they will definitely strike back hard.
Then the academic association would have no place for them anymore.
On a larger scale, it's very likely that the entire academic community in China will no longer tolerate them.
Zuo Zhonghua grew increasingly anxious and couldn't help but glare fiercely at the composed Feng Fuquan beside him.
Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer: "Hey, you old fox Feng, you didn't know about the old chairman and Qin Sheng's plan all along, did you? So you anticipated the outcome for the Duanmu family and switched sides early on?"
Feng Fuquan smiled and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Zuo Zhonghua thought this old fox was trying to play dumb with him again, but to his surprise, he immediately said, "If I could predict all these things, I wouldn't have been outmaneuvered by you for so many years."
Is it because you can't predict the future?
It's clearly because you're cunning and shrewd, always keeping something in reserve!
The Duanmu family and the old chairman have been fighting openly and covertly for almost seven years, but this old fox has the ability to play the game of Tai Chi for seven years and endure the unclear stance!
He'd never seen anyone so patient!
At this point, Feng Fuquan realized there was no need to beat around the bush with Zuo Zhonghua, and surprisingly, he told the truth.
He sighed and then said, "You might not believe me if I said it was all luck, but believe it or not, I really did have a stroke of luck this time."
Zuo Zhonghua looked at him suspiciously: "What do you mean?"
Feng Fuquan happened to see Qin Sheng coming out of the elevator and walking directly towards the president's office, and his eyes showed even more emotion.
He said, "I actually have two grandsons, you didn't know that, did you?"
Zuo Zhonghua genuinely had no idea and looked at him in surprise, but asked, "Is this related to this matter?"
“Yes.” Feng Fuquan gestured toward Qin Sheng and continued, “After my grandson was born, my son and daughter-in-law separated for various reasons. My eldest grandson stayed in Tiandu, while my youngest grandson was taken away by his mother.”
"Coincidentally, he also came to participate in the knowledge competition this time, and even more coincidentally, he knows Qin Sheng."
"This kid is smart too. Ever since the last time the rules were changed, he realized that the association was targeting Qin Sheng, so he came to me back then."
"They originally hoped I could stop it, but I didn't know how deep the involvement was behind this matter."
Feng Fuquan sighed, "I didn't know about the old chairman's plan, but the Feng family owes my grandson a lot, so I'll consider it compensation and go to see the old chairman on short notice."
The rest is self-explanatory.
Feng Fuquan, who had never taken sides, eventually joined the old chairman's camp, and then he made the right choice.
You know what, it really was luck.
After understanding the whole story, Zuo Zhonghua no longer had the energy to be jealous.
But he still snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "I think you don't feel indebted, but rather you want to use your grandson's relationship with Qin Sheng to let him inherit your position as vice president. In the end, it's all driven by self-interest!"
There is certainly a profit motive involved, but the sense of indebtedness is also real.
In this world, nothing is purely for one purpose. As long as the two don't conflict, what does it matter?
There's no need to tell Zuo Zhonghua these things.
Feng Fuquan smiled slightly and walked towards the president's office.
