Hearing Xia Fei's words and looking at the so-called divine medicine in his hand, Old Master Wu was stunned for a moment, then laughed. "Good, good, good. Xiao Fei is very thoughtful. Grandpa will eat it right now."
Of course, he didn't believe in things like divine medicine. He just thought it was something Xia Fei prepared intentionally to make him happy. Judging by the color, if he guessed correctly, it should be made of a mixture of brown sugar.
"Xiao Fei, your grandfather is in poor health right now. Don't just give him random things to eat," Wu Shuyun, who was standing to the side, said somewhat unhappily.
Her thoughts were the same as the old man's; she felt this was just an ordinary piece of candy.
But given the old man's current condition, eating candy would only make things worse.
"It's fine, as long as the child is happy."
The old man waved his hand, not minding it at all. He knew his days were already numbered. The child only wanted to cheer him up, and there was nothing wrong with that.
Let it be a beautiful memory left behind before his passing.
Saying so, the old man tossed his head back and swallowed the divine medicine directly, then cheerfully chatted with Xia Fei about family matters.
But before he could say a few words, Wu Shuyun and Xia Zhenye, who were standing nearby, gasped in shock one after another.
"Why are you making such a fuss?" The old man was startled and glared at them with some dissatisfaction.
"Dad, you... you..."
Wu Shuyun looked at the old man in disbelief, but after stuttering for a long time, she couldn't form a complete sentence.
"Grandpa, how do you feel?" Xia Fei asked.
Because things went exactly as he had expected. After his grandfather swallowed the divine medicine, his hair turned black, and he looked more than a decade younger.
"Grandpa is doing quite well." However, Old Master Wu had not noticed his own condition.
He did feel much more comfortable than before, but he assumed this was brought about by his brightened mood after seeing his grandson, not connecting it to the divine medicine.
Right at this moment, Xia Zhenye brought over a mirror and placed it in front of the old man.
When he saw his reflection in the mirror, the old man was instantly startled, and his face soon filled with utter shock.
"Am I..."
Tears uncontrollably rolled down his face, blurring his vision.
The old man never imagined that one day he would be able to see his younger self again.
Back then, he was so spirited and energetic, right at the age of striving for his career.
"Xiao Fei, where did you get this pill?"
A moment later, he snapped back to reality and quickly looked at Xia Fei, realizing that his transformation must definitely be due to the divine medicine from earlier.
He originally thought his grandson had just brought a piece of candy to cheer him up, but he never expected it to actually be a divine medicine.
The old man suddenly remembered a piece of news he had heard someone mention a while ago.
Elder Zeng had experienced the same thing.
He was originally dying in bed, but then for some unknown reason, he suddenly recovered and looked over a decade younger.
If his guess was correct, this pill of Xia Fei's should also have come from the hands of the person who cured Elder Zeng back then.
But how could his little grandson come into contact with such a figure?
And even manage to get such a divine medicine from them.
"Grandpa, this medicine was given by Young Master Qin."
Xia Fei glanced at Qin Ning, and only after receiving a nod of consent from the other party's eyes did he introduce Qin Ning.
"Young Master Qin?"
The old man was surprised and sized up Qin Ning. He had never heard of such a person.
But it was undeniable that he had indeed become younger because of the other party's medicine.
Elder Zeng from before must have been the same.
What was the background of this young man in front of him, who looked to be only around twenty years old?
Although filled with doubts, the old man knew that Qin Ning's existence was absolutely beyond his understanding. This was definitely not someone their Wu family could afford to offend.
"The old man just took the medicine, so he probably hasn't fully absorbed it yet. Let him rest well for the night," Qin Ning smiled and said when he saw the old man trying to get out of bed to thank him.
Soon, everyone exited the room and went to the living room.
Having witnessed the effects of the divine medicine with their own eyes, Xia Zhenye and Wu Shuyun became even more restrained in front of Qin Ning.
"Young Master Qin, please have a seat. I'll go buy some groceries right now," Wu Shuyun said as she stood up.
"There's no need for the trouble. Finding a restaurant and having a casual meal is fine," Qin Ning said.
"Alright, Young Master Qin, I'll arrange it!"
Xia Fei immediately spoke up, then took out his phone and made a call.
"Ding dong."
Right at that moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Xia Zhenye looked at Wu Shuyun, "Do we have guests today?"
"No. Aunt Zhang has been sick these past two days, so I let her go back to rest well. It might be Dad's former subordinates coming to visit."
Saying that, Wu Shuyun stood up and walked toward the door.
As soon as she opened the door, she was instantly startled. Outside stood a neat row of fully armed soldiers. The dark mass of weapons made her scalp go numb; when had she ever seen such a formation?
"You are..."
Next to the stairs, a figure was escorted by several people to the door, and Wu Shuyun subconsciously asked.
But when she saw the person's face clearly, her expression instantly turned into shock. "Elder Zeng!"
Although she had never seen him in person, Wu Shuyun often saw this figure on television. But why did he look so much younger than he did on TV?
"Hello, may I ask if Young Master Qin is here?"
Elder Zeng asked with a chuckle, looking very amiable.
He didn't recognize Wu Shuyun, but he knew this was Old Master Wu's home. If he guessed correctly, this should be the old man's daughter, Wu Shuyun.
"Y-yes, he is."
Wu Shuyun snapped out of her daze and hurriedly welcomed Elder Zeng inside, her heart so shocked she could barely speak.
Elder Zeng had actually come, and he was here looking for Qin Ning.
Most importantly, such an entity actually addressed him as Young Master Qin!
How could this be possible?
When they saw Elder Zeng walk in with Wu Shuyun, Xia Zhenye, Zhou Ping'an, and the others sitting on the sofa were also shocked and hurriedly stood up.
"Everyone, please sit. No need to be so polite with me."
Elder Zeng smiled and greeted everyone before turning his gaze to Qin Ning. "Qin Ning, please don't take offense at my presumptuous intrusion. And let me clarify beforehand, I wasn't monitoring you. Wang Yousheng happened to be picking someone up at the airport, saw you from afar, and came to tell me you had arrived in the capital."
"Elder Zeng is joking. I have great respect for you. Naturally, I'm happy that you came to see me in person. Please, sit."
Qin Ning smiled and invited him to sit before asking, "Elder Zeng must have a reason for making a special trip to find me in person, right? Feel free to speak your mind; there are no outsiders here."
His words made Zhou Ping'an, Xia Zhenye, and Wu Shuyun feel extremely flattered.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
