Chapter 128 A Dinner Party, A Party of Acquaintances
“During the testing process, we also encountered quite a few people who had dyed the petals other colors.”

"So, those people also possess spiritual roots, right? It's just that their spiritual roots aren't wood-based."

Xia Yanqing said she was looking at materials, but actually she had read several cultivation novels and gained some understanding of cultivation, but she didn't know if the stories in the novels were reliable.

Shen Baisu raised an eyebrow slightly. "What? Why is Director Xia asking this?"

Xia Yanqing: "I know how powerful cultivators are. If soldiers of the Xia Kingdom can cultivate, the Xia army's combat power will definitely be enhanced, and the risk factor of missions will be much lower."

"Miss Shen, do you understand what I mean?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Baisu shook her head immediately, "I don't understand."

After saying that, Shen Baisu leaned her head down and rested it on Feng Yin's shoulder. "I'm tired. I'll lean on it for a while."

Feng Yin nodded and patted the top of her head. "Go ahead, no one will bother you."

As she spoke, Feng Yin glanced at Xia Yanqing.

Looking in the rearview mirror, Xia Yanqing met Feng Yin's threatening gaze, so he shut up.

He never expected to convince Shen Baisu in just a few words; he figured he'd take it slow.

**
Half an hour later, the car stopped.

It wasn't outside a hospital, nor at the entrance of any house, but outside a restaurant.

Shen Baisu looked up at the restaurant standing in front of her, then turned to look at Xia Yanqing standing beside her. "Treatment here?"

Isn't this a bit hasty? Not only are they not going to the hospital, but they're not even going to the patient's home?
Xia Yanqing coughed lightly and said, "It's not about treating your illness. I'll introduce you to a few people first. They are students I've selected for you. They are currently under evaluation. If their character is up to standard, they will become your students in the future."

Upon hearing this, Shen Baisu immediately waved her hand, "Don't say that!"

"Since nothing is even going to happen yet, don't call yourself my student."

"By the time you take them back, I may have already ended my teaching career."

Xia Yanqing remembered their promise.

If Shen Baisu can teach ten students as soon as possible, they will indeed lack a teacher-student relationship. However, it would be excellent if ten of them could complete their studies.

"Alright, then we won't consider them your students for now. But since we've already made plans, why don't we meet up? We can have a meal together."

"I'll take you to treat the patients after the meal."

Shen Baisu nodded to Xia Yanqing. Xia Yanqing's words made her suddenly feel a little hungry.

Seeing that Shen Baisu nodded in agreement, Xia Yanqing led the two female disciples into the restaurant.

Xia Yanqing's private room is on the third floor, which requires taking an elevator.

As soon as the three of them entered the elevator, two more people followed them in.

A middle-aged man of considerable age and a young man in his early twenties.

Seeing that there were people in the elevator, the middle-aged man's gaze swept over the three of them, lingered on Feng Yin for a moment, and then looked away before stepping into the elevator and standing still.

Before entering the elevator, the young man accompanying him also scanned the three people inside. When his gaze swept over Feng Yin, the young man paused for a moment. When his gaze swept over Shen Baisu, he frowned immediately. "It's you?"

As soon as the young man spoke, everyone in the elevator turned their attention to him, and then they all turned to look at Shen Baisu.

"Xu Huai, do you know this young lady?" the middle-aged man standing next to Xu Huai asked him.
Feng Yin and Xia Yanqing also curiously shifted their gaze from Shen Baisu to Xu Huai.

Shen Baisu looked like he didn't want to talk to the person opposite him, so they could only look at him with curiosity.

Perhaps he can provide the answer.

Upon hearing the middle-aged man's question, Xu Huai shook his head directly, "Not familiar with him."

After saying that, he glanced at Shen Baisu and, out of the middle-aged man's sight, gave Shen Baisu a warning look.

Shen Baisu completely ignored his gaze. She took a step forward and pressed the floor button on the control panel. Seeing this, Xu Huai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was genuinely afraid that Shen Baisu would bother him, but seeing that Shen Baisu didn't say anything she shouldn't have, he felt relieved.

Xu Huai took a step forward, wanting to reach out and press the floor button, but found that the button for the third floor was already lit up.

He glanced at Shen Baisu, a fleeting look of suspicion in his eyes.

I was told to come here with my teacher today without his knowledge. Before we left, even he didn't know we would be here, so Shen Baisu probably wouldn't know his whereabouts.

This time, it must just be a coincidence.

A brief silence fell over the elevator until it reached the third floor. With a crisp "beep!", the elevator doors opened, and the people inside stepped out.

Although Xu Huai thought that his encounter with Shen Baisu was a coincidence, he was still wary of her, afraid that she might suddenly speak up, and also afraid that she had actually followed him.

Even though he knew that Shen Baisu wouldn't know his whereabouts in advance, he was still afraid.

So, after exiting the elevator, Xu Huai stood outside, intending to let Shen Baisu go first.

So, he watched as Shen Baisu and Feng Yin left with Xia Yanqing.

It was only then that Xu Huai realized that Xia Yanqing and Feng Yin were both Shen Baisu's colleagues.

When he entered the elevator, Shen Baisu and the other two were already standing inside. Since he had never seen Feng Yin and Xia Yanqing around Shen Baisu before, Xu Huai did not think that the three of them knew each other.

Upon suddenly realizing that the two knew Shen Baisu, Xu Huai couldn't help but glance at them again.

Why haven't I seen her around Shen Baisu before?
With a sense of doubt, Xu Huai turned his gaze to Xia Yanqing, scanning him from head to toe over and over again.

He's good-looking, has a great physique and a good temperament; he must be another man Shen Baisu is currently pursuing.

The thought flashed through his mind, but it made Xu Huai frown in disgust.

"Xu Huai, what are you doing? Keep up."

A familiar voice suddenly rang in his ears, instantly snapping Xu Huai back to reality. He quickly followed his teacher.

They went in the opposite direction from Shen Baisu and the other two, but Xu Huai looked back several times.

He thought to himself: It really seems like a coincidence.

It's best not to bother him.

He was getting annoyed by Shen Baisu's constant pestering for three years.

Now that's good, she's gone to bother someone else, so he'll probably have a long period of peace and quiet. It would be best if Shen Baisu stopped bothering him altogether.

**
Shen Baisu had no idea that Xu Huai's mood had been on a rollercoaster ride since meeting her, and that she and Feng Yin had already followed Xia Yanqing to the private room.

There were four people sitting in the private room, and coincidentally, Shen Baisu knew three of them.

Upon seeing Shen Baisu and the other two, the four people sitting in the private room all stood up.

"Yan Qing, you've arrived?"

"Student Shen?"

"Junior Sister Shen!"

"Miss Three!"

Sitting in the private room were Uncle Lin, the gardening manager of the Shen family, Lin Xiaoran, Teacher Huang, and a middle-aged woman with shoulder-length short hair.

Upon seeing the three, the woman greeted Xia Yanqing, while Lin Xiaoran and the other two sitting next to her were also surprised to see Shen Baisu and began to speak as well.

This scene left the people in the private room and the three who had just entered looking at each other for a while.
