"Elder Liu, it was Young Master Qin who asked me to come out and receive you," Jiang Zhi said.
Hearing this, Elder Liu nodded and then walked into the restaurant under the guidance of Jiang Zhi and Jiang Yanran.
Watching Elder Liu's disappearing figure, Wang Hongyuan fell into despair.
Beside him, Wang Shuo, Bai Chenghao, and the others were trembling, not daring to utter a single word.
"Little Zhao, take them away. Investigate them thoroughly from top to bottom. If any illegal or undisciplined acts are found, deal with them with the utmost severity."
Guo Zhengwen instructed the secretary beside him, then glanced at Bai Chenghao. "Also, call Guangning University later. Keeping a person like this is simply an insult to the name of Guangning University."
Leaving those words behind, he and Zhou De also walked into the restaurant.
Inside the private room.
Qin Ning and Elder Liu had already started drinking and chatting. Jiang Zhi and Jiang Yanran didn't dare to take a seat; they could only stand obediently to the side and pour wine like servers.
Guo Zhengwen and Zhou De walked in as well.
"Young Master Qin, I have already sent people to investigate Wang Hongyuan and his son. Also, I had someone call the university regarding your high school classmate, Bai Chenghao. If nothing unexpected happens, his degree will be revoked before tonight, and he will be expelled from the school," Guo Zhengwen said.
Qin Ning nodded. He didn't care too much about how the matter was handled; all he wanted was a demonstration of their attitude.
Since they had shown their stance, even if he didn't say anything, Guo Zhengwen and the others would know what to do next.
It wasn't until nightfall that Qin Ning and his group left the restaurant.
After bidding farewell to Elder Liu, he got into Jiang Zhi's car and headed toward the hilltop villa.
Jiang Yanran also followed them back.
Jiang Yunshan naturally knew about what happened today, but he hadn't made a move to go there.
Because before Qin Ning went out today, he had specifically instructed him to cultivate properly. No matter what happened, he was to just stay at home and cultivate.
"I'll be returning to Liu City tomorrow. You don't need to follow me. Just cultivate according to the method I taught you before. If anything comes up, you can call me directly."
In the living room, Qin Ning spoke and took out some tea leaves, giving them to Jiang Yunshan. "Also, drink a little of this tea every day. It will improve your physique and speed up your cultivation progress."
"Thank you, Master!" Jiang Yunshan said excitedly.
He naturally knew how precious these tea leaves were, having drunk them before at Qin Ning's villa.
"Grandmaster, can I go with you to cultivate?" Jiang Yanran blinked her large eyes, asking with a face full of anticipation.
Qin Ning paused and looked at her. "Aren't you still in university?"
"Yes, but I'll be graduating in about two months."
"Then let's talk about it after you graduate," Qin Ning said with a smile.
When he saw Jiang Yanran, he could tell that her talent was quite good, not much inferior to Jiang Yunshan's.
She was indeed worth nurturing.
However, Jiang Yanran didn't have any foundation in martial arts.
It wasn't that Jiang Yunshan favored boys over girls and hadn't taught her, but rather that Jiang Yanran, as a girl, simply wasn't interested in it.
But today, she had learned some things about Qin Ning from her brother.
This Grandmaster was not just a simple martial artist, but an immortal cultivator!
She had no interest in martial arts, but that didn't mean she had no interest in immortal cultivation!
Martial arts and immortal cultivation were two entirely different concepts.
"Alright..."
Jiang Yanran was a little disappointed but didn't dare to say anything more.
Anyway, it was only two months away.
"Grandmaster, should I arrange a private jet for you now?" Jiang Zhi asked.
He also wanted to follow Qin Ning to cultivate, but he knew his grandfather would definitely not agree.
After all, most of the family's businesses now rested on his shoulders.
Most importantly, his talent was very poor.
His grandfather had told him as much back when he was teaching him martial arts.
"No need," Qin Ning waved his hand.
"No need?"
Jiang Yanran and Jiang Zhi were both stunned.
Beside them, Jiang Yunshan laughed, "You two underestimate my Master too much. It only takes him a few minutes to travel back and forth between Guangning City and Liu City. Why would he need to take a plane?"
"A few minutes? Without taking a plane?" The siblings were a bit dazed.
Jiang Yanran was the first to react. Her eyes widened, shining brightly as she said, "Grandpa, do you mean to say that Grandmaster can fly?"
They knew Qin Ning was an immortal cultivator, but in their understanding, that just meant he had cultivated a higher-level power than inner energy, such as spiritual energy.
He could shoot out energy from his fingers, injure people through the air, or cast magical spells like fireballs.
But flying was something the siblings had never dared to imagine.
That was clearly far beyond the scope of their understanding.
"What else?"
Jiang Yunshan chuckled. "Master brought me back from Liu City by flying."
"Wow!"
Jiang Yanran cried out in surprise, her small face filled with disbelief. She looked at Qin Ning again, "Grandmaster, is it true?"
Qin Ning didn't speak, just smiled and nodded.
"Then can you take me flying once? I want to experience it, please, Grandmaster! Please, please!" She tugged at Qin Ning's hand, acting coquettishly.
"Alright, but if you get scared later, don't blame me."
Saying that, Qin Ning stood up and took her outside the villa.
Jiang Yanran looked extremely excited. She directly wrapped her arms around Qin Ning's neck, pressing her whole body against his.
Qin Ning didn't say anything. He scooped her up in a princess carry with both hands, and then, with a stir of the spiritual energy in his body, they appeared ten thousand meters high in the sky with a whoosh.
"Wow..."
Jiang Yanran had her eyes closed at first. When she opened them again and looked at the myriad of lights below, she couldn't help but let out an excited and thrilled scream, her eyes full of wonder.
Qin Ning took her for a few laps in the sky before returning to the front of the villa.
She still wanted more, and it seemed she would be too excited to sleep tonight.
...
The next day, in the early morning.
Jiang Yanran got up bright and early, or rather, she hadn't slept at all the entire night.
She specially prepared breakfast for Qin Ning with her own hands and watched him finish eating before reluctantly following Jiang Zhi and Jiang Yunshan to see him out of the villa.
"Grandmaster, I'll go to Liu City to find you once I graduate!" she waved goodbye.
Qin Ning nodded. Finally, under the gazes of the three, he leaped into the air and flew straight back in the direction of Liu City.
"Huh?"
Not even two minutes into his flight, Qin Ning suddenly noticed smoke and fire appearing to his right.
Focusing his gaze, he saw that high in the sky, a hundred miles away, an airplane was on fire. It had already lost control and was plummeting nose-first. It would likely crash in less than a minute.
