Replace me as the top scholar? Go talk to my Marshal Grandpa!

The outside world was in an uproar because of that storm.

But within Xingquan City.

In a quiet and secluded courtyard belonging to the Wang family, the atmosphere was completely different.

The afternoon sun dappled through the gaps in the leaves in the courtyard, casting mottled shadows.

A gentle breeze blows by, carrying the faint fragrance of flowers and grass.

In an open space in the center of the courtyard, Wang Xian stood with his back to the camera.

He had already taken off his upper body clothes.

The young man's slightly thin frame was revealed, but his muscle definition was already beginning to show.

However, what is most striking is the area near the center of his spine on his back.

A gruesome wound, still very fresh in color!

The wound was about the length of a palm, with irregular edges and an unnatural dark red color, as if the skin and flesh had been forcibly torn open and barely healed, but the deep tissues still bore terrifying marks.

The skin around the wound even faintly shows some abnormal, fine charred lines.

This is precisely the terrifying trace left by the violent energy impact and extraction when talent was forcibly stripped away!

Wang Xian's aunt, Wang Yeliu, was standing behind Wang Xian at this moment.

She had changed out of her smart research uniform and was wearing comfortable loungewear.

But the expression on her face was more serious and solemn than when she was working.

She bent slightly over, her gaze fixed on the wound on Wang Xian's back.

His eyes were very focused.

The finger hovered very close to the wound, but did not touch it.

She was using her psychic powers to carefully examine the inside of the wound.

As the investigation deepened.

Wang Yeliu's usually calm eyes couldn't suppress the deep heartache and almost overflowing anger that were now showing!

She could clearly "see" that the wound was not just a superficial injury to the skin and flesh.

It further damaged Wang Xian's spiritual energy source, even causing permanent and irreversible damage to his spinal nerves and certain important energy nodes!

It's like taking a large chunk of the trunk from a newly grown sapling and using the most brutal methods!

What remains is not just a scar, but also a "hidden injury" that affects future growth potential!

With each breath, Wang Yeliu felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if it were being pricked by needles.

This is the only bloodline left by her sixth brother, Wang Quan!

He is Wang Yeliu's own nephew!

He should have enjoyed the best resources of the Wang family, grown up healthy and happy under everyone's care, and become a strong and upright man.

But now...

The thought of the suffering Wang Xian had endured over the years, and the fact that he had almost been ruined, brought Wang Yeliu's disgust and anger toward the Bai family, Hengjin Group, and those accomplices to its peak!

I wish I could crush them all to pieces right now!

Perhaps it was because she sensed her aunt's heavy and heartbroken gaze behind her, or perhaps it was because she felt the oppressive atmosphere.

Wang Xian turned her head slightly, forcing a relaxed smile onto her face.

He said, "Auntie, don't worry. Actually... it doesn't hurt anymore, really, it just looked scary. I feel fine now, I can eat and sleep."

Wang Xian's tone was deliberately relaxed, carrying a kind of awkwardness and sincerity unique to young people who want to comfort their elders.

But the more he said that, the more Wang Yeliu felt pain in her heart.

This child has suffered so much and endured so much pain, and now he has to comfort others...

Wang Yeliu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turbulent emotions in her heart.

Without saying anything, he simply reached out a hand and gently, very tenderly, rubbed Wang Xian's head.

The gestures were full of the elder's love and affection.

"Silly child." Wang Yeliu's voice was low and hoarse.

After ruffling Wang Xian's hair a few times, Wang Yeliu straightened up.

She took her phone out of her pocket, scrolled through her contacts, and then dialed a number.

The call was answered quickly.

Wang Yeliu spoke a few words to the person on the other end of the phone in a concise and clear tone.

The gist of the message was that someone was to deliver something, and the address of the courtyard was given.

After hanging up the phone.

Wang Yeliu said to Wang Xian, "Little Xian, put your clothes on first, someone is coming later."

Wang Xian nodded and obediently put on her top.

Not long after.

Light footsteps could be heard outside the courtyard.

A figure walked in slowly after receiving permission.

This is a woman who looks to be around thirty years old.

She wore a well-tailored, high-quality dark blue business suit that accentuated her curves, making her look incredibly alluring.

Her face was adorned with exquisite makeup, her hair was neatly styled in a bun, and she wore a standard professional smile.

He was carrying a high-end-looking silver metal briefcase.

Wang Yuanshan, who had been standing quietly to the side, showed obvious surprise when he saw the woman's attire and the inconspicuous badge on the chest of her uniform that he happened to recognize.

Kuhl Pharmaceuticals Group!

This woman works for the Kuer Pharmaceuticals Group!

Wang Yuanshan was very surprised.

Kuer Pharmaceutical Group is a behemoth that ranks among the top in the fields of biomedicine and supernatural medicine within the Great Xia Dynasty!

It is a large commercial group whose main business is the research, development, production and sales of various high-efficiency drugs and biological agents!

Their products and distribution channels cover the whole country and even export abroad. Their influence is deeply entrenched and their power is enormous!

It can be said to be one of the giants in this industry!

did not expect.

With just one phone call from Chief Executive Officer Wang Yeliu, the head of the Kuer Group's branch in Nanzhao Province was able to be summoned directly!

And judging from the looks of it, they still want the other party to deliver the items to their door immediately!

This influence.

As expected of the fourth young lady of the Wang family, and the chief energy scientist of the Imperial Capital Research Institute!

As soon as the alluring woman entered the courtyard, she immediately turned her gaze to Wang Yeliu.

Her smile immediately became even more respectful and warm, and she bowed slightly in greeting.

"Chief Wang, hello, it's an honor to serve you."

"I am Su Mei, the general manager of the Nanzhao branch of the Kuer Group."

The woman's voice was soft and melodious, and she adopted a very humble posture.

She clearly wanted to take this opportunity to exchange a few pleasantries with Wang Yeliu, this important figure, to get closer to him and build a better relationship.

This is a rare opportunity for both her and the Kuer Group.

However, Wang Yeliu raised her hand directly, interrupting the polite words she was about to say.

Wang Yeliu remained calm and asked directly, "Did you bring the things?"

Su Mei was interrupted, but she didn't show any dissatisfaction or embarrassment on her face.

She maintained her most respectful smile and nodded hurriedly, "I brought it! I brought it! Our group takes your request very seriously and prepared everything immediately!"

talking.

Su Mei carefully placed the silver metal briefcase she was holding on the stone table in the center of the courtyard.

This suitcase looks quite unusual.

It is made entirely of a special alloy, with a faint matte finish on the surface.

In the center of the box, there is a small fingerprint recognition area and a combination lock that looks quite complicated.

Su Mei extended her well-maintained finger and pressed it on the fingerprint recognition area.

A soft "beep" was heard.

Then, she quickly entered a long and complicated password on the combination lock.

"Click".

A crisp click of a mechanism snapping open rang out.

The lid of the metal suitcase opened slowly and automatically.

The inside of the box was lined with soft, black velvet.

In the very center of the velvet, a transparent, cylindrical glass container lay quietly.

The container contained about one-third of the tube of liquid.

The color of this liquid is very peculiar!

It's a deep, flowing dark gold!

Even more amazing is that three bright golden spiral patterns, as if they were alive, are clearly suspended in this dark golden liquid!

These three golden lines slowly rotated and moved in the liquid, emanating an indescribable aura full of vitality and powerful energy!

Just looking at it makes you realize that this is no ordinary object!

Su Mei pointed to the potion and introduced it with a respectful yet proud tone:

"Chief Wang, this is the 'Three-Patterned Golden Marrow Elixir' you requested! It's one of the highest-grade extraordinary restorative elixirs from our Kur Group! It utilizes..."

Upon hearing the name "Three-Pattern Golden Marrow Potion".

Wang Yuanshan, who was standing to the side, suddenly gasped!
