Sorry, I'm a cultivator.

"Siblings?" Jiang Yingluo asked curiously, "What kind of siblings?"

"Of course it's legitimate."

"Then how come one has the surname Jiang and the other has the surname Li?"

“That’s their family matter,” Olivia replied. “I can tell the relationship between people just by looking at their blood.”

“So…” Olivia changed the subject, “I hope you can do me this favor.”

“I refuse.” Jiang Yingluo rejected the offer outright, but didn’t completely rule it out: “I hope to become my son-in-law.”

“I think you’re the most suitable,” Olivia said softly. “Xuetang and Jiang Wanzhao are best friends, while Li Xingzhou… doesn’t quite trust Jiang Wanzhao.”

"Why?" Jiang Yingluo was taken aback. "They have a bad relationship?"

"It's not that it's bad, it just gives people the feeling that two tigers cannot share one mountain."

Olivia recalled her cooperation with Hill III. Even though Li Xingzhou secretly controlled the Holy Light Church and even helped the Yongye Clan, he did not seek any benefit for Jiang Wanzhao and his forces.

It's abnormal not to seek any benefit at all.

Therefore, Olivia suspects that there must be some unknown secret between Li Xingzhou and Jiang Wanzhao.

Listening to Olivia's analysis, a thought popped into Jiang Yingluo's mind: the struggle for the crown prince position.

But Jiang Wanzhao is not the heir apparent, while Li Xingzhou could be considered one... So, Li Xingzhou also wanted to be emperor, but Jiang Wanzhao refused?

Jiang Yingluo pursed her red lips. If that were the case, there really would be a chance to win her over.

“So…” Olivia said meaningfully, “He doesn’t know you, and you can take this opportunity to develop feelings for him.”

You need a top-tier expert to protect your business, and he's undoubtedly the best choice, isn't he?

"By the way, he will be a teacher at Tianqi University later."

Listening to Olivia's voice, Jiang Yingluo seemed to be deep in thought. Although she still didn't want to gain benefits through herself, what if she took the opportunity to get close to him and introduce him to her daughter?

I can also take this opportunity to learn about his character. If he turns out to be some heinous scoundrel, I can't entrust Xue Tang to him with peace of mind.

"Let me think about it," Jiang Yingluo replied. "As for whether or not to cooperate with you, that's another matter."

I sense that you don't have good intentions towards him either.

"Ha~" Olivia chuckled lightly: "I just want to get him, what bad intentions could I possibly have?"

By the way, here's a suggestion. That kid, well, he doesn't quite understand what feelings are. You could try approaching him from that angle.

"Lack of love?"

"Pretty much, probably related to my experience growing up in an orphanage," Olivia said. "You know, children who grow up in orphanages are usually quite sensitive and find it hard to trust others."

You and Jiang Wanzhao have worked together before, so you should understand her controlling nature, and that child is even more so.

Although Jiang Yingluo didn't speak, she still listened to all of this information.

The more I think about it, the more I realize I can't get caught up in it.

If feelings had truly developed, putting aside his own feelings, wouldn't Li Xingzhou, feeling deceived, have gone berserk?

The consequences are too severe.

We should try to match him up with Xue Tang, depending on the situation.

"I'm saying, you keep calling him a child. If Li Xingzhou really is Jiang Wanzhao's younger brother, he's not young anymore, is he?"

“He’s only eighteen. I’ve drunk his blood, so there’s no mistake.”

"Eighteen?" Jiang Yingluo was taken aback. "Younger than my daughter? Then what exactly is his relationship with Jiang Wanzhao?"

"That's not important. What's important is him as a person."

"..."

"Mr. Jiang, are you still considering it?" Olivia's voice rang out again: "We're both adults, and you've never been in a relationship before. You should know how to maximize your benefits, shouldn't you?"

"I have my own ideas, no need for you to remind me."

"Then...it'll be a pleasure working together."

Jiang Yingluo did not respond. Only after all of Olivia's voices in her mind disappeared did she open her eyes.

It was still raining heavily outside. Minghuang City was unusually quiet tonight, with military vehicles speeding by and soldiers setting up checkpoints on the streets.

"Lack of love..."

Jiang Yingluo murmured, feeling that there was something absurd about what Olivia was saying.

But what he said does make a lot of sense.

Even though Jiang Wanzhao and Li Xingzhou are very strong now, childhood is indeed the best time to shape one's character. It's not impossible that the two of them, who grew up in an orphanage, might have some psychological defects.

You can try.

Having made up her mind, Jiang Yingluo asked, "When does Tianqi University start this year?"

"New students will enroll on September 15th."

"What about the teacher's onboarding?"

"President Jiang, look, this is the list of newly appointed teachers that hasn't been announced yet." The secretary quickly handed over the tablet.

Xingchen Group has been sponsoring Tianqi University for many years. Although it is not a shareholder, it can still easily obtain this kind of information.

Soon, Jiang Yingluo discovered Li Xingzhou's name among them.

The department I am assigned to is the Student Management Section of the Student Affairs Office of Lingwu Academy, and my position is Deputy Section Chief. I am also nominated to be the counselor for Class 4501 of Lingwu Academy.

"Lingwu Academy..."

Jiang Yingluo seemed to be deep in thought. She believed in Jiang Wanzhao's ability to arrange a position for Li Xingzhou, but was arranging it in Lingwu Academy in order to regain the initiative after the chaos caused by the Wei Demon?

During the Holy War, the Wei Clan rose rapidly and then marched south, bringing considerable disaster to the Enlightened Realm.

Although it is speculated that someone is behind the Wei tribe, there is still no concrete explanation. We can only know from history how severe the disaster caused by the Wei demons was.

If it weren't for Jiang Wanzhao, Qiming Realm would probably be the domain of the Wei Clan.

After their defeat, the Wei Clan brought a large number of cultivation manuals and rare treasures to Tianqi Island, where they established a stronghold in this neutral place. With their investment in Tianqi University and the support of certain forces behind them, they thus gained the status of the legitimate successor of Qiming.

He has repeatedly tried to regain control of Qiming's mainland through various means, and although he has achieved some success in some aspects, he has not yet succeeded.

It was precisely because the Wei Clan took away the cultivation manuals that the Qiming Realm humans had discovered after the revival of spiritual energy that Tianqi University became a sacred cultivation ground that cultivators of the Qiming Realm yearned for.

It's clear that Jiang Wanzhao is about to begin purging the Wei clan.

Jiang Yingluo couldn't help but recall Jiang Wanzhao's cooperation with the God of Wisdom back then. At the time, there was a storm of criticism and countless opponents, but Jiang Wanzhao still pushed the policy forward.

The reason she dared to ignore the opinions of others was most likely to prevent Qi cultivators from surrendering to the Wei tribe for cultivation purposes, which would then cause chaos in the interior.

Now, the existence of the 'system' has indeed stabilized the minds of the cultivators in the Enlightenment Realm, and it has also made progress in the deductions of Qi cultivators. More importantly, no chaos has occurred.

Jiang Yingluo suddenly became curious about the details of the cooperation that Jiang Wanzhao and the Wisdom God had reached.

What conditions would allow the Divine Seed to control cultivators in the Enlightenment Realm who had signed relevant agreements through the 'system'?

Jiang Yingluo handed the tablet to her secretary, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's screen them and see what projects we can collaborate on with Lingwu Academy this year, preferably those that teachers can participate in."

"Yes!"

"By the way," Jiang Yingluo pondered for a few seconds and then said, "Keep an eye on the flights and see if Li Xingzhou will take a flight to Tianqi Island."

"Yes!"

Jiang Yingluo closed her eyes again. Falling in love...?

I'm already so old, I have a daughter, and I'm dating an 18-year-old...

It makes me look so weird.

This isn't how you date young girls.

The spiritual energy revival has only been around for a century, and the rise of humanity has been even shorter. Jiang Yingluo knows she can live a long time, but some outdated ideas still haven't been eliminated.

So just thinking about it gives me goosebumps.

Let's try to match my daughter with Li Xingzhou.

But then again, would Xue Tang like a boy younger than herself?

Jiang Yingluo took out her phone, looked at the photo of herself and Xue Tang on the screen, and after a long silence, gave up the idea of ​​making a call.

Forget it, I won't try to match them up.

Xuetang is grown up and should have the right to choose her own partner. I can't force her to like someone she doesn't like.

Or... I should try getting to know Li Xingzhou first.

What if there are other ways to avoid dating?

It's not that love is the only thing that can connect people. More importantly, what I value is Li Xingzhou's strength, not anything else.

Jiang Yingluo turned to look out the window; it had been a while since she had seen Xuetang.

After thinking for a moment, she sent a message: Daughter, where are you now?

Jiang Xuetang quickly replied: Lanzhou.

Did they go to the west?

Do you want to see Jiang Wanzhao?

Jiang Yingluo smiled, wondering how she and Jiang Wanzhao became best friends.

Our ages, experiences, and social circles are clearly different...

Jiang Yingluo sent another message: I'm in Minghuang City. When are you coming over? Let's go home for dinner.

Jiang Xuetang: I'll be going back in a couple of days. I'll talk about it after I persuade Evening Glow to hold a super intelligent equation competition in such a large area as the West, hehe~

Jiang Yingluo chuckled. If it were her, she would also invest in the western part of Lingshan.

What are some good investment options?

“I’m not going home.” Jiang Yingluo suddenly said, “I’m going to the airport and flying west.”

The western part of Ling Mountain used to be the territory of the Demon King's City. I don't know much about the local customs and culture there, so it would be better to go there myself.

Secretary Lin Qin hesitated for a moment before speaking, "President Jiang, the airport is currently under military control..."
