After regaining control of her body, she begins by hypnotizing the young master of the Beijing elite

Gu Shuhan knew just how powerful Gu Qingyan's ancient martial arts were.

One second she seems harmless, the next she can slap someone away.

Indeed, no one can do anything to her.

Those people back then put in a lot of effort to bring her down from her pedestal.

She was never one to cause trouble unless someone provoked her first.

He deserved to be abused by her.

Gu Shuhan took a sip of tea to calm herself down, and then returned to the main topic, "Qingyan, I'm much better now. I've wasted 200 years of my life, and I don't want to live here anymore."

Gu Qingyan glanced at the top-notch hospital environment. "Are you sure you don't want to rest a bit longer? You've been lying in bed for so long, after all."

Gu Shuhan said softly, "But I want to go out and be with you. I've been controlled by Gu Chen with drugs all these years... and it must be very expensive here."

"It won't cost much," Gu Qingyan said indifferently.

My phone suddenly rang; it was a message from Su Qian.

Sister, how have you been lately? How's it going with Shangguandu?

Gu Shuhan pursed her lips, her expression stubborn. "Qingyan, the teachers have taught me a lot these past few days. Actually, I can take care of myself."

These days, Gu Qingyan has found several teachers to help Gu Shuhan understand the world. She has been locked up for too long and has become out of touch with the world.

Taking it with you when you go out definitely helps you learn faster.

Gu Qingyan raised her clear, cold eyes to look at her, "You really want to go out?"

Gu Shuhan nodded solemnly: "Yes."

The tea was quickly drunk.

Seeing Gu Shuhan tidying up her things, I casually asked, "Sister Shuhan, is it okay in crowded places? Where are your glasses?"

Gu Shuhan had her back to her, so her expression couldn't be seen, but her tone was very relaxed. "I like lively places. I've been perfectly normal these past few days."

Gu Qingyan's cool eyes remained fixed on Gu Shuhan's back.

Indeed, there was no stiffness, trembling, or unusual emotion.

I turned my gaze back to the chat history.

Staring at Su Qian's chat history, she smiled slightly, her expression both wild and cold.

She also wanted to know when Shangguan Du would regain his memory.

……

R Continent, Research Institute.

Shangguan Du lazily sat down in the chair, tapping his fingers lightly on the table. Around the long conference table sat more than a dozen researchers.

The room was filled with people discussing the matter like a marketplace, each one trying to outdo the other in volume and flushed with embarrassment.

Last night, I flew from Guandu overnight and have been in a meeting for a full seven hours.

Shangguan Du, impatient and restless, hurriedly stood up from his chair, his eyes coldly sweeping over the group of people in front of him. "Did I send you here to spout nonsense? If there are still no results by next week, you're all fired."

After saying that, he turned and walked away.

Those left at the conference table looked at each other in bewilderment, while a few in the corner expressed their dissatisfaction but dared not voice it.

Until the person disappeared through the doorway...

"Master Du is increasingly disregarding us," someone couldn't help but say.

"Who told him to invest in this research institute, and who's the only one in the entire institute who can research those energies? Can you do that?" Another person scoffed, disapprovingly.

However, although this is sarcastic, it is an undeniable fact that I am the one who is right.

"Everyone knows Master Du's temper. Instead of complaining here, you should think about how to develop this antidote."

After he finished speaking, everyone present fell silent. There were more than twenty people, but three different opinions, and no one would give in to the other. There was no solution.

After Shangguan Du walked out of the conference room, Shangguan Tian came to greet him.

"The factionalism in the research institute is too obvious now. If this continues, it will be even more difficult to develop the antidote." Although Shangguan Tian didn't go in to listen, he could roughly guess the result.

Shangguan Du remained calm, not taking the matter to heart, and said, "Let them make a fuss."

Shangguan Tian knew his master would react this way, and sighed softly, "If you ignore it, they might rebel, and I'm afraid..."

Shangguan Du glanced at him slightly, then quickly turned back, his deep eyes still indifferent. "Wouldn't it be better if they fought? Otherwise, how would you know which one is the wolf and which one is the leopard?"

He continued walking forward, "Where is Sheng Xuanyue?"

Shangguan Tian followed closely to his left, one step away. "No, it's strange, but after we settled down in R Continent, we lost sight of her without a trace. It was as if she vanished into thin air."

Shangguan Du slightly curled his thin lips, "That's amazing?"

Shangguan Tian carefully observed his grandfather, "The An family's old residence is quite secluded. Our people infiltrated and searched the entire place, but they couldn't find a single trace."

Shangguan Du recalled how she managed to blacklist her and still manage to make money unscathed. A thoughtful look flashed in his eyes. "Have you investigated An Shaoyu? Or her previous records?"

Shangguan Tian was stunned. "We only found out that her engagement to Xue Wen was at An Shaoyu's behest, but as for why, we have no way of finding out."

"Her previous records? The records before Miss Gu returned to the Sheng family?"

"Hmm." Shangguan Tian shook his head.

“No, we only investigated Miss Gu before,” Shangguan Tian said casually. “If we’re talking about changes, it’s Miss Gu who has changed.”

Shangguan Tian lowered his eyes slightly, "Investigate Sheng Xuanyue's past."

"Yes, sir." Shangguan Tian replied respectfully, but out of curiosity, he asked again, "Why only investigate Sheng Xuanyue? Why not Xue Wen?"

The two were already in the car. The sunlight outside was dazzling, and two rows of lush trees rushed past.

Shangguan Du glanced out the window. "I suspect I've come into contact with people who don't belong to this world."

Shangguan Tian drove numbly, somewhat unable to understand his master's intentions.

People who don't belong to this world?

If it's not this world, then it could be aliens.

Or does the master mean that this Sheng Xuanyue has some kind of super cheat code?

Shangguan Tian occasionally glanced at Shangguan Du in the rearview mirror, but his master had already closed his eyes to rest. He couldn't help but mutter, "Should we send someone to investigate the Xue family?"

Shangguan Du cracked his knuckles, then suddenly opened his eyes. "Let Shangguan Ren go."

Shangguan Tian replied, "Yes, sir."

After Shangguan Du finished speaking, his gaze fell on the necklace on his wrist.

……

Xue family.

Xue Wanqing's trip to Yunyinfang for the exam is the most important event for the Xue family recently.

Grandma Xue had originally planned to have a dinner with those older women, but she canceled it and decided to go with Xue Wanqing today.

Grandma Xue and her mother got up at six o'clock in the morning to go to Xue Wanqing's room to wake her up.

As Xue Wanqing finished stitching his work, Old Mrs. Xue caught a glimpse of a corner of the piece and exclaimed in amazement, "This is your work?"

Xue's mother was equally incredulous.

This work really doesn't look like it was made by her daughter.

This painting of a hundred birds and a phoenix uses gold thread to outline the embroidery patterns, but it is rare to see such a large-scale painting of a hundred birds paying homage to a phoenix using so much gold thread. It is truly a rare find.

And Xue Wanqing's embroidery skills...
