Chen Shi arrived at a conference room.

Grandma Qin was sitting cross-legged on a wooden chair. She had short arms and legs and was quite small, making her look very cute. However, when she opened her eyes, a powerful aura arose spontaneously.

Who could imagine that the mastermind behind the vast majority of humanity's shady industries is actually a child?

Granny Qin said indifferently, "Sit down."

Chen Shi and Xue Xin quickly nodded and sat down.

Granny Qin: "I saved Sun Yunling."

Chen Shi's expression changed slightly.

"He's not dead? Why...why did you do this?"

Granny Qin said calmly, "Because he's very valuable."

"And his strength is no threat to you."

"You can kill him again when you have another chance."

Xuexin, standing to the side, chuckled and said, "Are you harvesting leeks?"

Granny Qin smiled slightly and said, "You see things very clearly."

"How does it feel to kill someone?" she asked Chen Shi.

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "Actually, I didn't feel anything."

"Not bad." Granny Qin nodded and said, "This battle means you've completely entered the game."

"You will face even more targeting from now on."

"Every step you take forward will bring more obstacles."

"I suggest you continue to compete in the provincial competition in Jiangzhou this year."

"She went to Nanzhou."

Grandma Qin pointed at Zhang Xuexin.

"She went to Nanzhou?!" Chen Shi exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't that inappropriate?"

"She's more suitable than you," Granny Qin said calmly.

"Anyway, she's going to Nanzhou to hone her skills; you can go wherever you want."

"Now you have only one goal—the Year of the Dragon and the Elephant."

"Who is he?" Chen Shi asked nervously.

"The Dragon family's most perfect test subject, possessing more than three superpowers, and the same age as you, you will face him sooner or later."

"The sooner you defeat the Dragon-Elephant Year, the sooner your cross-border journey will begin."

"Give it your all, like Xu Yan, to surpass your current age and challenge opponents from higher grades, to hone your skills on the battlefield ahead of time. That's what a true champion does."

"I understand!" Chen Shi nodded emphatically.

Granny Qin said calmly, "Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to extract so much wealth from Sun Yunling."

"These two beads are for you."

With a flick of her wrist, Granny Qin pushed two exquisite red boxes over.

"Open it and take a look."

Chen Shi and Xue Xin exchanged a glance, then opened the box with anticipation, their eyes immediately lighting up.

其中一颗是强化系3S1-3S2,另外一颗是特种系3S1-3S2。

"This is what you deserve, take it, then you can go out first, I have something to say to her."

Chen Shi paused, looked at Xue Xin beside him, and then got up and left.

Xuexin was a little nervous and stayed where she was.

The door was closed.

Only two women remained inside.

Granny Qin said calmly, "Raise your hands and show me the ultimate use of the exoskeleton's power."

Zhang Xuexin's eyes changed slightly. After hesitating for a few seconds, she finally raised her right hand.

A wisp of silvery-white bone materialized into the shape of a bone flower, and then, as if by magic, she flipped her hand.

"Whoosh!"

The bone flower suddenly turned into a silvery-white flame, burning fiercely in the girl's fair palm, with an extremely high temperature.

Next.

The girl flipped her hand again, and the raging fire turned into silvery-white lightning, crackling in her palm.

Grandma Qin smiled brightly as she watched this scene.

"Does this move have a name?"

Xuexin said softly, "I call it Bone Fusion and Spirit Transformation."

"A miracle!" Granny Qin exclaimed. "A traditional martial artist who actually possesses complete elemental power, and is even fully integrated with all elements."

"But it's mainly used to complement your internal energy cultivation, right?"

"Mmm." Xuexin nodded obediently.

Granny Qin let out a long breath and said, "I saw your destiny back then, which was different from that of traditional martial arts masters."

"Seeing this today has truly broadened my horizons."

"Have you ever considered combining elemental and traditional practices? Perhaps the results would be even better?"

Xuexin raised an eyebrow and said, "But my elemental talent is very poor."

Granny Qin smiled and said, "Chen Shi's parents left him two Heavenly Pearls."

"One body, one element."

"Go to Nanzhou and do your best. As long as you show me a performance that satisfies me, I will go and talk to Brother Li about this."

"These things originally belonged to Chen Shi's parents, so they should be given to you."

The few simple words contained an explosive amount of information, and Zhang Xuexin's lips trembled involuntarily.

There is also a precious pearl that can allow her elemental talent to reach its ultimate level, and that was left behind by Chen Shi's parents, and it is still in the hands of the Human Emperor.

Granny Qin said calmly, "Actually, that was originally meant for Xu Yan."

"Isn't Xu Yan the ultimate master?" Xue Xin asked in surprise.

"It wasn't something he was born with," Granny Qin shook her head and said, "Xu Yan said it belonged to your family and he didn't want it. He'll figure something out himself later."

"But if we don't improve his physical talent, he won't be able to suppress the sun within him."

"You saw it too, his eyes were constantly glowing, which is a sign that his energy was about to get out of control."

Xuexin asked, "You mean that the Sun Mystic Scripture requires both physical cultivation and method practice?"

"Yes," Granny Qin nodded, "Only a sufficiently strong body can suppress that infinitely accumulating purple energy."

Do you know who ultimately stepped in to help Xu Yan?

Zhang Xuexin was incredibly quick-witted and immediately realized that it seemed only one person among the human race possessed that ability.

"Long Yichuan?"

"Yes," Granny Qin said slowly, "That's why Long Yichuan didn't die despite committing such a serious crime. According to the law, he should have been sentenced, but he proved with his actions that as long as a person's value is great enough, the law can't control him."

"But actually, as long as Xu Yan takes that bead from your family, Long Yichuan will be in big trouble."

"The main reason Xu Yan didn't take it was probably because he didn't want Long Yichuan to die."

"Because that's his master's child."

"He didn't quite understand why there was hatred between the two, but he knew that his master didn't want Long Yichuan to die."

"Those problems are very complicated, and even I don't know the specific reasons. Long Yichuan was really an outstanding cadre in his early years and had a very good relationship with Brother Li. But 150 years ago, he suddenly became the inhuman creature he is now, lost his legs, and became old and frail. He was willing to pay any price for power, and no one knows what happened."

Upon hearing this, Xuexin's expression changed slightly, and many thoughts began to surface in her mind.

"You're right," Qin Nianzhen said calmly, "I do have a slight bias towards Long Yichuan."

"Because we used to be inseparable best friends."

"I'm telling you all this in the hope that if there's an opportunity in the future, we can find out the truth first and then make a judgment on him."

"What exactly happened?"

Qin Nianzhen looked up and muttered to herself.

Her eyes could see the future of countless people, but not the face of that particular event. Even after 150 years, and with her cultivation now far surpassing what it once was, she still couldn't unveil that mysterious veil.

She pinned her hopes on Xuexin.

Because she knew this was a smart girl, and that she had the ability.

Zhang Xuexin kept her head down in silence. She had just seen a hint of regret in Qin Lao's eyes, which made her imagine the scene of her and Long Yichuan drinking and laughing together back then.

Time has passed, and things have changed.

One is second in Congress, and the other is fifth.

The childhood sweethearts have all achieved bright futures, but they are no longer who they used to be.

She had wealth, status, and power—she had it all, but the most important person in her life was gone.

Those eyes that could see into the future have long been stuck in the past.

A century has passed in the blink of an eye, and Nianzhen has become the white-haired Granny Qin, but she is still obsessed with a question: why?

Why did he turn around and leave? Where was he going?

She felt she didn't have time to wait for the answer, so she had to leave the question to someone who still had time.
