No strange things are allowed to evolve!

Even if he caused the trouble, doesn't he bear any responsibility as the president of the sanctuary?

Presumably, for the sake of stability, he would understand and be happy to cooperate, right?

Thinking of this, Jiang Shu called the other party's... weak spot.

Xue Wang answered the phone quickly.

"Hey?"

But there was no immediate response on the other end of the phone.

Jiang Shu only heard the sound of rushing water from the other side, like the sound of a shower, and then it quickly disappeared.

This made him feel a little embarrassed.

Uh...are you busy?

I was going to ask if you were taking a shower, but then I realized it might not be appropriate.

Fortunately, the Snow King responded quickly this time, and her voice sounded normal: "Ah, no, no, I'm very free. Speaking of which, I originally wanted to come and see you today, but I heard that you and my father have some kind of male-male agreement, so I didn't go for the time being. How are you, getting used to it?"

"Fortunately, the food and drink are much better than those in the Foreign Affairs Bureau. We're so happy here that we don't even want to leave," Jiang Shu replied.

"That's good." Snow King paused. "So... why are you calling me so early in the morning, before dawn? What's wrong?"

"Well..." Jiang Shu laughed, "I just wanted to ask if you could arrange for me to meet your dad?"

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.

"You called me just to see my father?" Snow King asked. "Why don't you contact him yourself?"

Tsk...

The interjections have disappeared...

Jiang Shu felt a little guilty: "I was just thinking it would be better if I went with you. Come to think of it, I've been to the church a few times, but I haven't formally visited your father yet. Oh, and your aunt too, I miss her quite a bit. This is a rare opportunity, and I'm sorry to trouble them to take care of me. I definitely have to be mindful of etiquette. No matter what, I should formally meet them and say hello, don't you think?"

Xue Wang on the other end of the phone was stunned: "I...I'll go too?"

His tone had clearly become much lighter.

Yes, yes.

"Well... wait for me a moment. I just got up and need to get ready. I'll call you when I'm done."

"It's alright, no rush. It's only early morning, the two elders probably haven't gotten up yet. It's okay if they're a little late."

"Okay, then don't eat breakfast yet, we'll eat together later."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Xue Wang jumped out of bed.

My previously tired body was suddenly filled with energy.

"I guess this counts as meeting the parents!" She clenched her fist, as if cheering herself on: "Looks like I have to show him today how obedient, well-behaved, and capable I am at home!"

Just as she was getting ready to get out of bed to wash up and dress herself, she suddenly remembered something and stopped.

Then, she looked at the soaked bed with embarrassment.

This was an accident.

It started as a routine, using some relaxation techniques I had just learned for waking up.

But unexpectedly, Jiang Shu suddenly called.

She was already on the verge of losing control when she saw the name, and she completely lost control after the call connected and she heard the voice.

"It wasn't this exaggerated before..."

Snow King muttered to himself softly:

"Is this what they call physiological attraction online? And it even started with psychological attraction, so my choice must have been right!"

The embarrassment in her eyes transformed into composure and confidence, which filled her with determination.

......

President's Office.

The president, who had been working on official business all night, opened the window and breathed in the first fresh air of the morning.

His innate courage allows him to remain full of youthful passion and tireless even in his fifties.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

A moment later, the head of the Earth Hall appeared before him.

"Reporting to the Chairman, my men have reported that something very strange happened today."

"What's wrong?" the president asked.

"An incubator called [Apprentice God] that opposes the incubator has been upgraded."

"Upgrade?" The president didn't quite understand.

"About two hours ago, after the last successful operation, the staff suddenly discovered that not only had the description of the incubator changed, but the difficulty had also changed from calamity level to disaster level."

"How could this happen?" The chairman had never heard of such a thing before: "What were the results of the investigation?"

"The investigation hasn't started yet, and I've suppressed it for now," the head of the underground hall replied confidently.

Upon seeing this, the chairman was taken aback at first, then laughed angrily: "This unprecedented strange thing has been going on for two hours, and you haven't even started investigating yet, and you've already suppressed it?"

"This..." The head of the underground hall was startled and carefully explained, "Because the last person to enter has a rather sensitive identity."

"Where is it sensitive?"

"It was someone you personally arranged."

"well-done!"

Chapter 220 Pulling and Pulling

It's not that the president started applying double standards just because it involved his own affairs.

Once everything abnormal was linked to Jiang Shu, it all seemed normal. So the core of the problem shifted from how this happened to how he did it and what the impact would be.

Therefore, the best course of action was for the Hall Master to suppress the matter. This would effectively protect Jiang Shu, prevent the incident from spreading among the permanent evolvers of the Hatchery and causing adverse effects, and to a certain extent maintain the authority and reputation of the Holy Hall.

Although the president believed that Jiang Shu would not cause trouble, such a thing was unheard of. He was still a little worried. Even if Jiang Shu would not do bad things on his own initiative, what if this situation was also out of his control?

Even if it's resolved privately, it still needs to be resolved, right?

The best solution now is, of course, to find Jiang Shu directly and get to the bottom of things.

He believed that once he met Jiang Shu, as the one who controlled the other's lifeline, he would have absolute authority over his daughter and would be able to easily find out everything he wanted to know without his approval.

But this presents a problem.

The person who initially gave Jiang Shu an identity but offered no other assistance, and forbade him from coming to him, leaving the outcome entirely to Jiang Shu's own discretion, was the one who made the agreement.

Logically speaking, no matter what amazing things he did, before his trip to the sanctuary ended, unless he encountered some trouble beyond his control or some terrible force majeure, he should only be a bystander. Otherwise, wouldn't that be changing his mind and not keeping his word?

He would never do something that contradicts himself.

What should I do?

After pondering for a moment, the president first dismissed the head of the local hall, telling him that he didn't need to worry about this matter for the time being and that he would handle it personally. Then he left the office and went home.

In fact, his home was right next to his office, but he was someone who kept his work and life very separate. Even though his office was essentially a separate study in his home, he still drew a clear line between the two to avoid work interfering with his life, or to prevent senior members of the church from frequently entering his private space on official business.

A wall without a door.

Moreover, to completely prevent the blurring of work and life, his office faces south while his home faces north.

So even though there's only a wall separating them, he has to take a long detour to get home from his office, running from the northernmost point to the southernmost point.

This gradually led him to develop the habit of staying in the office day and night instead of going home when he was busy.

There's no way around it, my home is too big, the house is too large, so it's really too difficult to travel from the northernmost point to the southernmost point. Going to work every day is like smuggling myself from South America to North America. Who can stand it for long?

This time, it has obviously been quite a long time since I left home.

At least the first thing Snow King's mother said to him was, "Who are you? How did you get into my house?"

This was obviously sarcastic, and the president was momentarily embarrassed.

"Um, can I save this file? You can scold me later when you have time, but I really have something urgent right now."

"What's the urgent matter?" Snow King's mother asked curiously.

There aren't many things that the president would call urgent, so she didn't continue attacking the other party. She has always been able to distinguish between what's important and what's urgent.

Next, the president recounted Jiang Shu's story, his experience at the Holy Temple, and his fight against the mutation at the Hatchery to Snow King's mother from beginning to end.

After listening to the president's words, Snow King's mother remained silent for a long time.

"When did you go to the Bureau of Different Lineages and witness that child's ascension ceremony? How come I didn't know?"

"Huh?" The president scratched his head. "Didn't your daughter tell you?"

Snow King's mother remained silent for a while.

After a sigh, she said, "Maybe she thought you would tell me. Sigh, the little ones have grown up, and the old ones don't tell me anything anymore. In this family, I've finally become an outsider."

"Stop, stop!" Seeing her like this, the president had a headache and knew that this matter was unlikely to be resolved peacefully.

For the next while, he'll probably have to stay home and sleep every day to get over this.

Courageous Spiritual Root... Fight alongside me one more time!

"So?" Seeing his expression, Snow King's mother knew that she would be able to get whatever she wanted for a long time to come, so she stopped there and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

“Tell your daughter that you heard he’s here and haven’t seen him in a long time. You want to see him. It would be best to pretend to be annoyed and complain that he’s impolite and doesn’t know how to take the initiative to visit. That way, he will have no choice but to come.”

The president quietly explained his plan in detail:

"After he arrived, I pretended to be passing by and casually brought up the matter to ask him for clarification."

Snow King's mother was a little puzzled: "Why go through all this trouble? Why don't you just ask him directly? Why do you have to do it secretly?"

“It’s different, it’s different.” The president explained, “Didn’t I tell you? I have an agreement with him. How could I possibly break that agreement? But if it’s just a coincidence, it’s different. I can pretend I don’t know anything at first and accuse him of using connections to get ahead, making him feel guilty. That way, I can take the initiative and be in an invincible position.”

Upon hearing this, Snow King's mother's face showed a deep sense of speechlessness.

"Is it really necessary?" She shook her head helplessly. "Going to such lengths to scheme, aren't you just bullying a child?"

"A child?!" the president suddenly shouted, almost laughing in anger.

"Alright, alright." Snow King's mother was too lazy to waste any more words and waved her hand. "Isn't it just that you want to save face and get things done at the same time? We've cooperated with you countless times, don't I know you?"

"You don't understand, this is..." The president was about to explain when he was interrupted by the other party's impatient complaints.

"I know, it's the competitive spirit between men, isn't it? Isn't it always because of that? I just don't know where you get so much competitiveness, and I don't know why you never have that competitive spirit in front of me, you just know how to surrender..."

The president anxiously stopped him: "Hey, hey, hey, you're being too forward! How can that be the same?"

It was at this moment.

"Dad, Mom, you're both here?"

Snow King pushed open the door and entered without anyone noticing.

She lives in a separate courtyard in another area on this floor, so like the president, she came in from outside.

The two people who were arguing suddenly turned their heads, their faces showing embarrassment.

"Huh? When did you get here?"

"Just arrived." Xue Wang's expression remained unchanged, clearly unaware of the earlier adult conversation. "I needed to talk to you guys, and since you're all here, I don't have to call you, Dad, after talking to Mom."

"Can't you come to my office if I'm not here? Why do you only call me..." the president asked, feeling wronged.

"It's too far, I'm too lazy to go." Snow King said succinctly.

"Sigh..." The president sighed wearily.

Snow King's mother asked, "Daughter, is something the matter?"

Snow Queen looked at the two of them with her big, bright eyes and tentatively said, "You two seem quite busy. Should I bother you now? It's okay if it's later."

“We’re not busy,” Snow King’s mother replied. “Actually, we have something we’d like to discuss with you.”

"What's wrong?" Snow King asked.

"It's like this." Xue Wang's mother glanced at the nonchalant president, then smiled and said to Xue Wang, "Mom just heard that Xiao Jiang came here. It's been so long since we've seen him. I'm usually bored by myself, so I thought I'd ask him to come over and keep me company."
