Sorry, I'm a cultivator.

Why was Jiang Wanzhao by my side?

Because she realized that Tang Yao could no longer hide it, she wanted to explain in person.

Li Xingzhou did not refuse.

Or perhaps I never considered refusing, because it was a habit.

How strict was Jiang Wanzhao back then?

Because he was afraid that Jiang Wanzhao would sneak out to play during the midday break instead of sleeping, or that he would fall asleep in class in the afternoon, he was always held by Jiang Wanzhao for a nap even after he entered high school.

A habit formed purely through innate.

But now, I'm not quite used to it.

Li Xingzhou gently turned his head to look, and what came into view was a delicate body, faintly visible, like white jade.

Her slender waist and narrow, rounded hips were visible, and along the curves of her waist, the neckline of her nightgown revealed a deep, white shadow, while her delicate collarbones rose and fell gently with her breath.

Following the slender, fair neck upwards, there is a stunningly beautiful face half-hidden by thick, long hair.

His brows didn't show any sharpness; instead, they were filled with a reassuring gentleness.

Compared to the sleeping Jiang Wanzhao in my memory, she now exudes a more mature charm, an indescribable allure.

Li Xingzhou looked thoughtfully at the delicate and graceful face, but didn't have any other thoughts. He just suddenly thought it was really great that his sister was a top student.

Otherwise, his body would have collapsed long ago due to the disruption of time.

Li Xingzhou felt a little better. He was glad he was back and that there was a way to make amends.

Unable to fall asleep, he decided to get up.

At this moment, he had two treatment ideas for Jiang Wanzhao's body in mind, but because they had not yet been organized into a system, one was empty and the other was also empty.

We need to find Liu Ying first to get Jiang Wanzhao's prescriptions from all these years.

"Xingzhou, promise your sister you won't leave her without a word again..."

Li Xingzhou, who was carefully pushing Jiang Wanzhao's knee away, paused and turned to look at Jiang Wanzhao suspiciously.

Was she really asleep or just pretending to be asleep?

Li Xingzhou stared at her for a long time. After they went inside and talked about her symptoms, Jiang Wanzhao had been listening to her younger brother talk about the past.

However, Li Xingzhou recounted less than a third of what had happened in the past eighteen years before Jiang Wanzhao became drowsy due to her weak constitution.

So, they were probably really asleep.

Li Xingzhou got out of bed.

Because my body feels a bit hot.

It's really strange. My mind is completely blank, so why is my body craving food first?

Is Xuan feeling repressed?

Li Xingzhou closed the door, and Jiang Wanzhao on the bed turned over, thinking he was really being honest...

Knowing that escaping is a good thing means it shows she sees herself as a woman.

A good start.

……

A gentle evening breeze blew, but it was still very hot for Li Xingzhou under the eaves. Summers after the spiritual energy revival were far hotter than before, sometimes exceeding 100 degrees Celsius during the dog days of summer.

In short, don't come to the grand stage of Xuanhuang if you're not prepared.

The so-called "hanging" is awakening.

Li Xingzhou, who can only mobilize his primordial energy now, is not quite used to it, because his fellow villager's path is not only perfect, but can be said to be almost perfect.

Therefore, he, who was already prone to feeling hot, couldn't suppress the restlessness in his body for a while.

Until I saw Liu Ying hurrying into the courtyard.

As Liu Ying walked, she tapped a few times on the blue screen in front of her...

Ok?

I can see that this isn't some kind of system.

Li Xingzhou flashed to Liu Ying's side: "Where's the prescription?"

"Ah!" Liu Ying shuddered. "You scared me half to death in the middle of the night."

As she spoke, she took out a stack of prescriptions from the storage ring on her index finger: "Here are the prescriptions from the past twenty years. Take your time to look at them."

Liu Ying did not hide anything. After the Chief of Staff made some deductions, she was hoping that Li Xingzhou would use the prescription to plot against the Chief of Staff. In this way, the Chief of Staff would definitely not be lenient with him just because he looked like 'Li Xingzhou'.

"Thanks." Li Xingzhou put it away and pointed to the blue screen in front of her: "What's this?"

"Virtual space window." Liu Ying took out her phone from her pocket: "One of the essential functions of mobile phones nowadays."

Li Xingzhou blinked, feeling a sense of disconnection from society.

Observing Li Xingzhou's expression, Liu Ying became even more certain that this kid was indeed the 'summoned beast' the chief had guessed.

Otherwise, how could they be completely ignorant of the products of the new era?

"The Chief of Staff's study is over there," Liu Ying pointed in a direction. "You can go there to find out more."

Li Xingzhou nodded, then turned and walked towards the study without saying another word.

Liu Ying looked away, staring at the virtual window flashing a green phone number, and tapped to answer.

"Secretary Liu, Jiang Lang and his daughter are on their way to the Jiang residence."

“They’re well-informed,” Liu Ying said with a hint of amusement. “No need to stop them, let them come.”

"Yes."

Liu Ying hung up the phone, and Li Xingzhou's voice, tinged with coldness, rang out: "Jiang Lang? That old Bi Deng is still alive?"

He remembered that name very well.

“That’s right, your fourth uncle…” Liu Ying looked at Li Xingzhou, her voice suddenly becoming strange, as if she was suppressing a laugh: “Not only is he alive, but he has also become a remarkable magician because of his faith in the Skywing Clan. Well, his whole family are believers.”

······

Chapter 15: Transformation into...a magical girl?

The seven-seater minivan drove off the highway and into the city as the sun rose.

Sitting in the back row, Jiang Lang squinted and tapped his thigh lightly with his index finger: "You mean, she found Li Xingzhou from the vampires on Longxing Island?"

The female secretary, Wang Zhilan, sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and said respectfully, "According to the Third Young Master, that is indeed the case."

"Oh."

Jiang Lang frowned slightly. Although Jiang Wanzhao did not allow these people to enter the central government, some talented individuals were still able to serve in the twelve guards directly under Jiang Wanzhao.

The news was first relayed by Jiang Mu, who served as the Deputy Commander of the Divine Martial Guard.

According to him, the Chief not only suppressed the rebels on Longxing Island with the Dragon-Suppressing Lock, but also defeated the Demon Race and the Orc Race in one fell swoop. He then took over Longxing Island with a 'sun' and discovered the long-dead Li Xingzhou.

Although this major event has not yet been officially announced, the Jiang family received the information immediately.

This was a happy event for Jiang Wanzhao, but not for the Jiang family, because of Li Xingzhou.

Although the Jiang residence was not the central government under Jiang Wanzhao's rule, it was a sacred place in the hearts of countless people because Jiang Wanzhao rose to power here.

Yet Li Xingzhou could freely enter and leave this sacred place, and even stay overnight!

Even setting aside high-ranking officials, none of the Jiang family members receive such good treatment; they even have to announce their presence before entering the Jiang residence!

This is intolerable.

"Li Xingzhou..."

Jiang Lang murmured, "How could she forgive a heartless wretch who abandoned her?"

This seemed unbelievable to Jiang Lang.

Who is Jiang Wanzhao?

Those in the Jiang family who embezzle or misappropriate funds are ruthless people who will kill them with a knife!

How could someone who has no regard for family forgive the ungrateful wretch who hurt her the most?

Is this reasonable?

“President Jiang, I don’t think the Chief has forgiven him.” Wang Zhilan thought for a moment and said, “After the spiritual energy revival, when the family tree was rewritten, the Chief did not include Li Xingzhou in the family tree, and even said that Li Xingzhou was not a member of the Jiang family. This is the best proof.”

"Then what does she mean by bringing this ungrateful wretch back to the Jiang residence?"

"Maybe it's... taking revenge through vigilante justice?"

"Bullshit!" Jiang Lang sneered. "From Longxing Island to the Jiang residence, Jiang Wanzhao has kept Li Xingzhou by her side the whole time. It's said they've been behaving intimately. If she wanted to vent her anger, she would have done it long ago. Why would she wait until she got home to do it?"

After a moment of silence, Wang Zhilan tentatively asked, "President Jiang, what are you worried about...?"

Jiang Lang took a deep breath: "Although Jiang Wanzhao is only the chief now, in today's world, what matters is cultivation and strength. The strong will become emperors and the weak will bow down. This is the general trend. In addition, Jiang Wanzhao's reforms have only been going on for a few years, so she will definitely become emperor."

But her health is deteriorating. If she dies one day, the Jiang family will have the rightful right to inherit the family property. Now that Li Xingzhou has returned, do you think she will still care about us?

Wang Zhilan understood perfectly. After thinking for a moment, she came up with an idea: "The Chief of Staff said back then that Li Xingzhou was just an adopted son, a fake young master. Even if he comes back now, he's still a fake."

Furthermore, since he came from the vampire tribe, the others certainly wouldn't want someone like him by the Chief's side. If they could seize on that, Li Xingzhou's legitimacy would be jeopardized. Surely the Chief wouldn't kill everyone to legitimize Li Xingzhou's claim, would he?

She paused, then added, "Furthermore, the Chief of Staff said he was just an adopted son. Whether it's true or not, you can treat it as true and make it public."

"Even if the Chief of Staff objects, turning this into a scandal is hardly a good thing; what kind of filthy creature returned from the hands of vampires can it be?"

"The Chief of Staff is impressive, but how impressive can he be?"

“That makes sense.” Jiang Lang nodded. “Regardless, let’s see what her attitude is towards this ingrate today.”

Wang Zhilan lowered her head slightly: "President Jiang, in the end, it is still unknown whether this Li Xingzhou is really Li Xingzhou. While you are testing the Chief of Staff's attitude, you can also test his strength."

She glanced at the two sisters who were resting head to head in the last row: "Let the two ladies give it a try."

Jiang Lang nodded: "Let's do it this way."

At 7:30 a.m., at the main gate of the Jiang residence.
