I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 365 The Moon Is So Round Tonight
When Jiang Yingzhu, who is always narcissistic, called her narcissistic, Mei Mengqian blushed a little.

She took the mooncakes and ran upstairs to eat them.

Li Yan ignored them and gave the calico cat a mooncake.

After Laba came back, he stopped playing with Jiang Yingzhu and started asking Li Yan for food instead.

What delicious food are you hiding away? Show it to Laba!

"Don't give your leftovers to the neighbor's dog, it can't eat them."

"Meow~"

The calico cat nodded; it had remembered the incident since it almost took DouDou to the vet last time.

The calico cat jumped onto the stool with a mooncake in its mouth and started gnawing on it.

The more this little creature grows, the more intelligent it becomes. It already knows that the ground is dirty and that food should be placed in a higher place to eat.

Li Yan walked into the kitchen and saw Hua Junshu taking a plate of mooncakes out of the oven.

When she saw someone come in, she looked up, her eyes lit up, and then her gaze fell on the bag he was carrying.

"Would you like to try some of the mooncakes my grandma made?"

"Okay." Hua Junshu nodded and took one.

Seeing him looking at the mooncakes on the baking tray, I said, "They're not good yet. They need to cool down and sit overnight. Have you eaten any?"

"Oh, I've already eaten."

Li Yan nodded and looked around at the mooncakes with curiosity. They were standard size and had printed designs.

However, instead of wishing everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, it was just some small patterns.

He noticed that two rows of mooncakes were printed with the characters for "plum" and "river".

"These two rows of mooncakes"

"It's the stir-fried pork filling and sweet potato starch and shredded pork filling that Zhuzhu and Mengmeng wanted."

Li Yan touched his chin, feeling quite intrigued, and glanced at her again.

Do you have any with egg filling?

Hua Junshu glanced sideways at the row of plates without any printed patterns.

In the afternoon, Jiang Yingzhu and her two friends set up a table in front of the door, each occupying one side, and began to do their homework.

When we encounter something we don't know, we can discuss it with each other.

Li Yan tended to the flowers and plants in front of the door.

Looking at the fields by the roadside, apart from the fields in front of his house and Zhou Qinqin's house, all the other fields had planted something.

We should be able to cultivate the land in front of us, should we do that?
The first thing Li Yan thought of was tea trees, simply because he really loved drinking tea.

If two tea trees were transplanted and nourished with spiritual energy, perhaps they would have a different flavor.

So Li Yan immediately called Hua Ningxia.

"Boss, you haven't contacted me in ages."

"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival. I just made some mooncakes. Should I send you some?" Li Yan coughed.

After all, he really did shirk his responsibilities too much.

"Wow, the boss can even make mooncakes? He seems so relaxed."

"Your sister did this."

Hua Ningxia was stunned for a moment, then remembered it was Hua Junshu, and couldn't help but be speechless.

Li Yan ignored her and went straight to his purpose.

"I need two tea trees, good ones, you can choose the variety yourself."

"No problem." Hua Ningxia immediately agreed. Just as Li Yan thought she should hang up and go do her thing, he heard her say:

"Boss, the Chu State Assembly has elected representatives, and I've been elected. Look."

Li Yan's eyes flickered slightly; this was actually the National People's Congress from his previous life.

In fact, given the size of 77 Company, this is already considered late.

Li Yan estimated that the officials might not know who to invite.

Is he the person in charge of Qiqi Company on the surface, or a high school student who is suspected to be the mastermind behind the scenes?

Thinking about this, Li Yan wanted to laugh.

I really want to see what kind of expressions those people have.

"I won't show my face in public," Li Yan told Hua Ningxia directly, outlining his plans.
"Sister Xiaxia, Qiqi Company is now a large international company. You need to be prepared."

Upon hearing this, Hua Ningxia's heart trembled. Even though she had experienced countless storms, she held her breath, making the receiver almost silent.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably think she had already hung up.

"call--"

She breathed a sigh of relief. "I understand, boss. I'm sorry, I was a little confused."

"Okay, tidy it up yourself, and remember my tea trees."

Li Yan didn't care about her reaction. After all, anyone else would probably not understand why someone would regard such fame and fortune as dirt.

Although Li Yan hasn't reached that level yet, Hua Ningxia thinks he already has.

The principle that one should not lend one's name or position to others is a timeless truth, but it failed to apply to Li Yan.

The more Hua Ningxia thought about it, the more she felt Li Yan's extraordinary nature, because Qiqi Company had faced many difficulties.

Black, white, gray; some are rivals, some are friends.

Domestic and international, even internally, there is corruption.

Many of these factors are enough to bring a startup company down with its life.

But in the end, they all escaped danger.

At first, Hua Ningxia thought it was due to her own abilities.

On one occasion, she wasn't even in the country, and the entire incident, from its outbreak to its conclusion, was solely due to an accident.

Seven Seven Company managed to dodge it, but then one after another followed.

Hua Ningxia then stopped believing it was due to her own ability.

Whose ability could that be?
Therefore, this made her feel that Li Yan was like a high-dimensional being playing a game.

And he himself is the character being controlled.

Li Yan was unaware that his manager had already expelled him from the community.

He was buying seeds online when he caught a glimpse of an elegant, tall figure walking gracefully down the side road from the main road.

Biology teacher Jiang Xinting.

Jiang Xinting looked like she was taking a leisurely holiday stroll, wearing a fisherman's hat and a camera hanging around her neck, taking pictures whenever she saw something that interested her.

When she got over there, she saw Li Yan, Jiang Yingzhu, and Mei Mengqian. A look of surprise and delight appeared on her face.

"Oh, Li Yan, Mei Mengqian, and Jiang Yingzhu, you really live here." Jiang Yingzhu had seen Jiang Xinting a while ago, but wasn't sure.

After all, Jiang Xinting is at least three degrees prettier today than she was at school!
It's hard to believe that Ms. Jiang from the school was actually deliberately making herself look ugly.

"Oh right, Teacher Jiang, how did you know? By the way, Teacher, what brings you here? You can't get around Feiyun Mountain from here."

"You asked around, didn't you, Teacher?" Jiang Xinting said with a smile. "Besides, I'm not going to Feiyun Mountain. I'm here to visit your Teacher Qinqin."

"Oh"

Jiang Yingzhu suddenly realized, no wonder, among the female teachers at the school, only Zhou Qinqin and Jiang Xinting seemed to have some common topics.

Jiang Xinting glanced at them and said, "So this is how you do your homework at home. Can I take a picture?"

"sure."

Jiang Yingzhu nodded. Seeing this, Li Yan also walked to the table and sat down to cooperate with them, but his eyes were looking at the camera with a half-smile.

On the contrary, Jiang Xinting felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze.

After all, she came with an observation mission, and the research institute wanted her to figure it out.

How on earth did this young man manage to research and develop things like the Qingling Fragrance and the Beauty Elixir?

It’s incredible!
Qinglingxiang, in particular, is outstanding in all aspects.

This directly kicked the once-promising coffee industry into a ditch.

No matter how much those brilliant public officials preach about elegance and Western freedom, it's all useless!
Instead, a group of people who enjoyed the spectacle posted pictures of Western tycoons lighting incense to mock them.

Many Chinese people don't particularly like coffee, so with better alternatives available, they naturally won't choose it anymore.

Even if you're thirsty, milk tea is a better choice.

Jiang Xinting comes from the capital and comes from a well-connected family; she has met many people.

But I've never seen a high school student like Li Yan before.

He lives like an old man.

Moreover, even geniuses can see it, but they can't figure out how to research it.

They had suspected that Li Yan was also a decoy, but all indications suggested otherwise.

After taking the photos, Jiang Xinting went into Zhou Qinqin's house, while Li Yan yawned out of boredom.

After observing Jiang Xinting for a few days, Li Yan knew why she had come.

I thought it was something else, but it turns out it's just this.

Li Yan guessed that the flowers and plants he had missing leaves and branches were also secretly taken away by Jiang Xinting.

That's nothing. If the authorities are really capturing spiritual energy, then he should be grateful.

This is utter nonsense about the Dharma-ending Age; even if you have cultivation techniques, you can't practice them.

Luckily, he had a cheat code!
However, sneaking around will be punished.

Late at night, Jiang Xinting finished her date with Zhou Qinqin and quietly went to the two trees in front of Li Yan's house.

Thinking that the flowers and leaves hadn't seemed to have any effect these days, I decided to break off a branch and take it home.

She had already seen the cherry tree in the information, but since the jujube tree could be planted together with the cherry tree, it shouldn't be an ordinary one.

Jiang Xinting, a researcher in the field of biology, did not feel it.

So they prepared to break off tree branches.

Li Yan secretly activated the illusion array.
So, Zhou Qinqin, who had decided on a whim to go out and see her friend off, saw Xinting squatting in the field pulling weeds.

A question mark appeared above Zhou Qinqin's head.

First reaction
"She didn't bring any toilet paper?! Should I go upstairs and get her a pack?"

Over there, Jiang Xinting didn't realize that she had taken the wrong thing.

She plucked a handful of wild grass, carefully stuffed it into her handbag, and, under the influence of an inexplicable force, firmly believed it was related to her goal, strode away.

Li Yan glanced at the end of the road, then continued to enjoy the moon with Jiang Yingzhu and the other two in the rooftop garden.

The moon is very round tonight.

"Ah~, it's so cool. Li Yan, you should have made the rooftop like this a long time ago." Jiang Yingzhu took pictures on the recliner while enjoying the cool breeze, with the chirping of insects and birds in her ears and the bright moon in front of her.

Mei Mengqian nodded, "Yes, they're beautiful, and these flowers smell wonderful too."

Even Hua Junshu revealed a hint of intoxication in his smile, looking at the moon in the sky, then at Li Yan, and glancing over the flowerbeds, Zhu Zhu, and Mengmeng.

"This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is the best one I've had since junior high school."

Li Yan smiled faintly, "This rooftop garden was built a long time ago."

The renovation took a while, and most of it was spent on setting up and engraving array patterns.

The final period is spent waiting for the flowers and plants planted on it to grow and mature.

····
Three days later, at a research institute in Kyoto.

A group of biological researchers sat around a plant fragment on a lab bench, each with a furrowed brow and a look of confusion.

The project manager tapped the table: "The 'key sample' that Xinting painstakingly sent back is supposedly closely related to the target product. Everyone has seen it, so what are your thoughts?"
A young researcher picked up a broken blade of grass, brought it close to his eyes to examine it closely, and spoke with disbelief:
"Teacher... isn't this the common foxtail grass that you see by the roadside?"

“Maybe…it just looks like…?” A middle-aged researcher next to him rested his chin on his hand, his face also showing confusion.

"This is outrageous. Xinting risked her academic reputation to vouch for it, how could she do this..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear—could it really have been sent to the wrong address?
The researchers looked at each other, remaining silent.

The conference room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

At that moment, the project leader suddenly exclaimed, looked up sharply, and a flash of enlightenment crossed his eyes, which quickly turned into a deep gloom, his tone becoming extremely serious.

"No! There's definitely something wrong here! I strongly suspect that someone on our side is sabotaging us! Someone secretly switched the samples! They replaced the crucial evidence that Xinting painstakingly found with this pile of worthless weeds!"

He paused, then emphasized, "Think about Jiang Xinting's status! How could she possibly use a bunch of weeds to get by on a mission?"

You all know who her father is! Even if she wanted to get away with it, shouldn't she at least have used some plants that are somewhat related to him?
For example, what about the medicinal herbs listed on the ingredient list of Qiqi Company? What's with this foxtail grass? They're completely unrelated!

A young man tried to object, but was pulled back by someone nearby, and everyone immediately agreed.

"Yes!"

Jiang Yingzhu sat in the classroom during morning self-study and looked at Li Yan, "The monthly exam is over, shouldn't our club's approval be granted by now?"

"Probably." Li Yan scanned the Academic Affairs Office with his divine sense. "I should receive the notification today, at the latest by the afternoon."

Seeing how accurate his answer was, Jiang Yingzhu still didn't believe him.

"how do you know?"

"I am the president."

This reason was convincing, and the students around who were paying attention all chose to believe it.

After all, if you're a student like me, then what you're saying is a rumor.

If you say you hold a certain position, then what you're saying is inside information.
