Looking at An Jingzhi who left with a cold face, Zhou Hongjun said hurriedly: "It's over! Mr. An must be disappointed in us!"
He chased after him as he spoke, but An Jingzhi's ability to shrink the distance to an inch made it impossible for him to catch up.
In the blink of an eye, An Jingzhi disappeared.
General Wu, Zhao Jing and the other two who had chased after them stood there at a loss.
"What should I do? Is he unwilling to forgive me?" General Wu's face was bitter.
Born an orphan, he lived alone in a different world for a thousand years. He finally returned to his country and wanted to help his country, but he was misunderstood and treated as an enemy. Zhao Jing put himself in his shoes and felt that it was too miserable and too unfair.
"Mr. An is a man who usually speaks his mind. He didn't even want to say anything just now. He must be very angry."
Zhou Hongjun gritted his teeth, turned around to retrieve the bramble he had brought, and said towards An Jingzhi's main hall, "I, Zhou Hongjun, will take personal responsibility for my actions. If Mr. An is unwilling to forgive me, I will kneel until Mr. An is pleased!"
Just as he was about to kneel down, an invisible force supported his knees, preventing him from kneeling down no matter what he did.
An Jingzhi's cold voice rang out in the air: "Anyone who kneels again will leave immediately!"
Zhao Jing's face lit up when he heard this. "Mr. An is still willing to talk to us, and he didn't throw Elder Zhou and General Wu out of the mountain gate. It seems that there is still hope!"
Zhou Hongjun was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pot. He grabbed Zhao Jing's left hand and asked, "What do you mean?"
Zhao Jing knew he was anxious, so he patiently explained, "When Mr. An dislikes someone, he'll just throw them at the mountain gate."
"Mr. An is actually a very simple person. All his emotions are reflected on his face."
"He must have been really angry just now, but I guess he felt more aggrieved."
General Wu and Zhou Hongjun looked at each other and felt very regretful.
They thought they had been seeing people all their lives and had met all kinds of people, so it was impossible for them to be wrong about someone. However, they didn't expect that the facts would prove that they were really wrong.
"Mr. An probably just wants to be alone right now. Let's think about how to make up for Mr. An's grievances."
"The most important thing is to restore Mr. An's confidence in us."
Zhao Jing's explanation made the two of them feel less panicked.
"That's right! Has the lunar and Martian soil sent last time been used up?" Zhou Hongjun asked.
Zhao Jing: "All of them were taken to the forest and grass plantations."
"Mr. An's favorite things are various spiritual ores and rare metals. Send someone to collect more quickly."
"Also, please hurry and send over the actual data on those weapons."
…
An Jingzhi sat in the main hall, focusing his attention on the three people around him. He listened to them discussing how to compensate for their grievances, feeling a little guilty.
It’s not enough that the young man Zhao Jing is busy, but General Wu and Zhou Hongjun are both quite old.
Forget it, it’s all for the mission. If you want to blame someone, blame the original owner, that idiot.
After Zhou Hongjun came to the mountain, he never went down again. Every day he took a broom and swept around An Jingzhi's hall, and looked at the door of An Jingzhi's hall from time to time.
No matter how much they sent him, An Jingzhi had no reaction.
If Zhao Jing hadn't comforted him from time to time, the old man might have been so guilty that he would have ascended to heaven on the spot.
General Wu also wanted to stay, but because of his position, unlike Zhou Hongjun, he could only come from time to time.
…
On the other side, Master Xuanyi, who was in charge of student physical examinations far down the mountain, had no idea what was happening on the mountain.
He traveled from city to city, and all the students would be gathered in advance by officials from the Ministry of Education. After he arrived, he would use magical instruments to examine them one by one.
The students who finished their physical examinations were all a little confused.
On Friday afternoon, Zhou Pingting would normally choose to stay in school to continue her evening self-study, but today was her mother's birthday, so she had already made an appointment with her family to go out for dinner together in the evening.
Wen Pingting's parents waited outside the school for a long time. When the agreed time came, their daughter still hadn't come out. After registering, they went into the school and came to her class, but found that she was not in the class.
The two of them anxiously called their daughter's class teacher.
After learning that their daughter had undergone a physical examination, the two were still worried and went directly to the class teacher's office to inquire.
"My daughter didn't even register for anything, so why does she need a physical examination out of the blue?"
"Please calm down, parents, and listen to me." The head teacher said patiently after pouring a glass of water for them.
"This is a good thing. I don't know the details, but don't worry, the education department personally took them for the physical examination."
"Then why did my Pingting go but the others didn't?" Wen Pingting's father asked anxiously.
The head teacher slowly produced a red-headed document and said, "Not everyone is eligible to take this physical examination."
"Dear parents, this is a red-headed document issued by the higher authorities. No one dares to forge it, and there won't be any problems. In short, it must be a good thing for the children."
The two of them carefully read the content of the official document asking the school to cooperate with the physical examination. Their daughter's name was on it, as well as the names of several other students.
"When will the child come back?" asked Wen Tingting's mother.
The head teacher looked at the time on his watch and said, "There is still an hour left. Parents can wait in my office."
Before Wen Pingting came back, her parents started chatting with several other parents who had also sent their children for physical examinations.
After finding out the identities of these students' parents, Wen Pingting's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why aren't you in a hurry?" Wen Pingting's father asked in confusion after seeing that his wife did not go out to socialize but instead sat back leisurely.
Wen Pingting's mother rolled her eyes at him. "Are you stupid? Didn't you hear that person just say her husband works in the Education Bureau?"
"Another family is in the real estate business."
"If something bad really happened, how could these people not hide?"
"I just asked around a bit, and they don't know the reason either, but they don't seem too worried."
"We ordinary people can't tell whether the red-headed documents are real or not, but other people can understand them."
"So, wife, you went to inquire about these just now?" Wen Pingting's father asked in surprise.
Wen Pingting's mother glanced at him and said, "Why not? Do you think I like chatting with people so much?"
The man shrank his neck and muttered, "Isn't it?"
She was about to curse.
"Come back, children." The head teacher's voice sounded at the door.
Wen Pingting's mother didn't care about the man beside her and ran out regardless. It was already dark outside. Fortunately, the lights in the corridor were very bright, and several children were just around the corner.
Wen Pingting's mother saw her daughter at a glance, and hurriedly walked up to hug Wen Pingting and then quickly let go. She carefully checked the child's physical condition and kept asking various caring questions.
