Sorry, I'm a cultivator.

Li Xingzhou said calmly, "I am your father."

"Look at you, if you're on her side you're my dad, and if you're on my side you're her son-in-law..." Jiang Xuetang kicked his shin: "You always have your own explanation!"

"So, the advantage is in my hands."

Li Xingzhou smiled and kissed Jiang Xuetang on the lips: "Then I'll be going now!"

"You'd better side with me!" Jiang Xuetang snorted, arms crossed. "Otherwise, if this keeps up, she might lock me out and make me listen in!"

“She doesn’t have that ability right now.” Li Xingzhou smiled. “Why don’t you just apologize?”

"I won't!" Jiang Xuetang snorted again. "I want to see whether I give in first or she feels sorry for me first!"

Just as Li Xingzhou was about to say something, Jiang Xuetang said directly, "This is a war between women. You are a man, so you are not allowed to interfere, and you are not allowed to show favoritism!"

"No, you have to show me some favoritism!" Jiang Xuetang grabbed Li Xingzhou's hand again: "You've been favoring her more this past month, and I'm not happy!"

"it is good."

"You mean what you say~" Jiang Xuetang's eyes lit up: "Otherwise, next time you kiss my mom, I'll let Wanzhao see it!"

Li Xingzhou pinched Jiang Xuetang's nose: "I'm scared of you... then I'll be leaving now."

"Mmm." Jiang Xuetang tiptoed and kissed him on the lips: "You're not allowed to do any thrilling things with my mom at the event, okay? I've never done any of those before..."

"Your mom is very serious..."

"Believe me, Qin Shi Huang, instead of her!" Jiang Xuetang waved her hand: "Bye-bye~"

Watching Li Xingzhou disappear from her sight in an instant, Jiang Xuetang turned and went into the house.

The childlike face in my sight was no longer sprawled on the sofa eating potato chips as before, but squatted beside the sofa... charging.

Jiang Xuetang walked over to her, plopped down on the floor, and turned to look at her youthful, slightly chubby face: "What were you trying to say to Xingzhou just now?"

Tong Yan glanced at Jiang Xuetang and said, "Sister Jiang, I'm leaving."

"I know." Jiang Xuetang nodded. "So, does that mean you're not coming back?"

"Ah."

"why?"

"My mission is complete."

task?

Jiang Xuetang looked at Tong Yan thoughtfully. Li Xingzhou hadn't told her this, so did he know or not?

"What mission?"

Tong Yan shook her head, not answering Jiang Xuetang's question.

"Is that all you want to say to him?"

Tong Yan shook her head and then said, "I also want to ask... whether he misses me."

"Then why not just say it directly?" Jiang Xuetang looked at Tong Yan with a smile, but she had already figured it out in her heart.

This girl clearly has human emotions; otherwise, how could an automaton possibly have such hesitation under normal circumstances?

Tong Yan fidgeted with her fingers: "I was afraid I wouldn't get the answer I wanted. Lord Xingzhou has been very kind to me. Even though I haven't been of any use before, he still let me stay here and gave me food and drink..."

However, after analysis, it turns out that Lord Xingzhou's attachment to me is not as strong as I had imagined.

"Perhaps he's just pretending not to care?"

"I do not know."

"So, you're planning to leave without saying goodbye?"

"Hmm..." Tong Yan nodded and said softly, "Anyway, we might not see each other again..."

Oh?

Hearing this, Jiang Xuetang seemed to be deep in thought, wondering if Zhishen would treat Tong Yan like trash after she returned.

What exactly is her mission here?

Jiang Xuetang stroked Tong Yan's head: "So when are you planning to leave?"

"Fully charged."

Jiang Xuetang nodded: "Are you really not going to tell him?"

"I'd better not disturb Lord Xingzhou any longer."

Tong Yan closed her eyes, and Jiang Xuetang didn't say anything more.

She thought of Tong Yan's old diary. Could she find some clues in it?

Jiang Xuetang glanced at Tong Yan, then thought again that given Tong Yan's status as an automaton, it was highly unlikely that she would leave the diary behind.

While pondering, Jiang Xuetang stood up and said, "I think you should say goodbye to Xingzhou properly, just in case..."

"I was created by the God of Wisdom, and I am here to complete His mission."

"Then why did you mention that you had a mission?"

"Because it doesn't matter."

“I see…” Jiang Xuetang nodded: “I still stand by what I said: if you’re hesitant, then say goodbye properly and don’t leave any regrets.”

Tong Yan didn't say anything, and Jiang Xuetang also stepped out of the house.

However, she did not leave immediately, but waited quietly, wanting to see when Tong Yan would leave.

······

Tianqi University, Lingwu Academy Auditorium.

The bidding meeting, chaired by Li Xingzhou, concerning the technology held by Lin Ming, is being held here today.

Because it represents another technological breakthrough and aligns with the new energy source of Lingyuan coal, representatives from numerous related companies around the world have come to attend.

Apart from the demon beasts and elves, all other races sent representatives. Of course, the Skywing Clan did not come; instead, a representative from the Holy Light Church came.

Inside the auditorium, Fu Ming wandered around different parts of the auditorium, a smile on his face, but in his heart he was determined to win.

Once the Wei tribe obtains the relevant patents, these people will have to act according to the Wei tribe's wishes!

Fu Ming could already imagine the 'tribute from all nations' when the Wei tribe dominated this technology.

At that time, not only humans, but even demons will have to be mindful of the Wei race's attitude to some extent.

After all, the fact that the Demon Race sent a Demon King representative to the event shows how much they value the technology in Lin Ming's hands.

only……

As Fu Ming wandered through the auditorium, he noticed that the way these people were looking at him and his companions was rather strange, as if they were watching a joke.

"Dean Jin." Fu Ming walked to Jin Hao, the vice dean of Lingwu Academy, and lowered his voice: "I think the Demon King Nolan is interested in me. He glances at me every now and then."

They must be trying to extract my yang energy in exchange for technological cooperation!

Jin Hao glanced at Fu Ming: "Flirted with you? You'd be more interested in me."

Are you even more shameless than me?

Fu Ming's lips twitched. No wonder he became the vice dean.

“We’ve always had a good relationship with the demon race, after all, we’ve had quite a bit of cooperation in the Miri Realm,” Jin Hao said calmly. “So Lord Nolan might have other motives. We can ask him after this is over.”

Fu Ming nodded, and then Jin Hao said, "So, there won't be any accidents, right?"

"Dean Jin, don't worry." Fu Ming assured him confidently, "There's definitely no problem with Li Xingzhou's side, and there's even less of a problem with the company I've arranged."

After all, I've been to many places over the past month to ensure these companies have the necessary qualifications, and only now have they been obtained perfectly.

"That's fine then." Jin Hao nodded, his gaze piercing through the crowd and settling on Li Xingzhou: "If this kid pulls any tricks, we'll find a way to completely control him after this is over."

“He must have considered this as well, so I don’t think we need to worry.” Fu Ming smiled. “After all, we’ve already given him a lot of autonomy by letting him run wild at school for a while. If he betrays us now, he won’t get away with it.”

"Okay." Jin Hao responded, glanced at the time, and then looked at Li Xingzhou, who was hosting on stage: "It's starting now, let's wait and see."

Fu Ming licked his lips, watching Li Xingzhou take the stage to begin his presentation, watching Lin Ming explain the relevant technologies, watching the various groups qualified to participate in the bidding, watching…

The large screen flashed, exposing the negative scandals of the bidding companies under Fu Ming's control...

Technical fraud, forgery of relevant qualifications, shell companies...

As he watched the scenes unfolding on the screen, Fu Ming's expression changed drastically, and Jin Hao, standing beside him, crushed the wine glass in his hand.

Who?

who is it? !

Who dares to target the Wei tribe like this on Tianqi Island?!

Fu Ming's gaze swept over everyone present, his sharp eyes lowering immediately upon meeting the powerful figures from various races who were stronger than him.

He couldn't understand it; these guys couldn't possibly have joined forces to target the Wei tribe, could they?

Yes, that's impossible!

So it must have been someone else who did it!

Fu Ming and Jin Hao looked at Li Xingzhou on the stage at the same time. Apart from Yun Li behind Li Xingzhou, they could not think of any other possibility!

On stage, Li Xingzhou smiled and looked at Jin Hao and Fu Ming, then announced the results without further evaluation.

"Congratulations to President Jiang Yingluo of Xingchen Group for successfully winning the bid."

Li Xingzhou on the stage led the applause, and Demon King Nolan and Nicole from the Holy Light Church in the audience followed suit immediately. Soon, the neat applause resounded throughout the entire auditorium.

Jiang Yingluo accepted the congratulations from the people around her without much emotion, since this was an outcome she had already known.

Apart from the Wei people, who among them wasn't following their sweetheart, Li Xingzhou?

"Is the process correct? You're just going to announce it?" Fu Ming looked at Li Xingzhou on the stage with a gloomy expression: "Have other companies made offers?"

"You're the one doing this, aren't you?"

"Director Fu, are you asking me to fabricate evidence in front of everyone?" Li Xingzhou asked calmly. "With so many people watching, if I insist on doing things my own way, it won't be good for unity."

Just as Fu Ming was about to say something, Jin Hao put his hand on his shoulder.

Something is wrong!
