"These theoretical classes are pretty useful for you at your current stage,"

Yuan Dongzhi added after finishing, "Anyway, it's up to you if you like them. You can take them if you want, and if you don't want to, then don't."

Shen Qinghan nodded, "Mhm, I got it, Master."

As she said these words, the smile at the corner of her mouth could no longer be hidden, and she smiled especially happily.

From today on, she could follow Lin Zichen to the research institute every day and stick with him all the time.

...

They chatted for a while at the entrance of the research institute.

When Yuan Dongzhi saw that the time was almost up, she prepared to leave by aerial flight.

Before leaving,

Yuan Dongzhi looked at Liu Chuanwu, who often made promises to women but almost never delivered, and said seriously, "President Liu, remember the thing you just promised me inside, don't go back on your word."

"Rest assured, I never deceive women."

Liu Chuanwu, who had lied to enough women to circle the Earth, said with a face full of certainty, slapping his chest.

Yuan Dongzhi also laughed, "Ha, I don't know how you can say that without blushing; your skin is even thicker than a pig's."

After saying that, she lightly tapped the ground with the tip of her foot, and her whole body instantly rose into the sky.

Then, accompanied by a breeze, she flew unhurriedly in the direction of the administrative building.

"President, how did you manage to deal with such a tough nut to crack as Principal Yuan, an ice beauty?"

After Yuan Dongzhi left, Song Yuyan immediately looked at Liu Chuanwu, expressing her surprise.

Liu Chuanwu laughed, "No matter how tough she is, she's still a woman. When it comes to dealing with women, I only need to make a small move to easily have them wrapped around my finger."

"Not to mention, she's someone I've conquered before."

"The moment she moves her big behind, I know exactly what's on her mind."

"..."

Song Yuyan asked curiously, "President, what exactly did you promise Principal Yuan back in the institute?"

Liu Chuanwu puffed out his chest a bit, proudly saying, "I didn't promise much, just agreed to go to her place and fix her garden tonight, and she gave in."

"Just that?"

Song Yuyan expressed doubt, "Just one visit and she gave in to you? I feel like you're fooling me."

"Little Yuyan, you can't understand the charms of this President, a girl like you who hasn't even touched a man's hand."

After dropping such a line, Liu Chuanwu turned around with his hands behind his back and went back inside the institute.

Leaving behind a stylish silhouette to Song Yuyan, who was almost thirty but still had her first kiss.

It was the silhouette of a seducer of married women.

Here, 'married women' refers to those with the looks of a married woman, but the age of an old lady.

When the age gap is too big, Liu Chuanwu doesn't touch.

Physical interaction without common language is soulless.

Watching Liu Chuanwu's departing figure, Song Yuyan pursed her lips disbelievingly.

Then turning to Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan beside her, she said:

"The President is definitely showing off again!"

"I'm telling you guys, that old fraudster loves to brag. You two shouldn't believe him."

"When I first joined Tianren Pavilion, I was fooled by him round and round. I really thought he was a hidden master who was incredibly strong."

"But as you all know, he's nothing but a Poseidon who even gets his funding from women."

"..."

Song Yuyan's words were indeed not wrong.

Liu Chuanwu had indeed been boasting just now.

The condition Yuan Dongzhi agreed on for letting Shen Qinghan join Tianren Pavilion was to have Liu Chuanwu come over for a meal at the Yuan Family.

Not to fix her garden by driving piles into the ground.

"Come on, Han Han, Sister Yan will take you back to the institute to get familiar with the environment. From now on, the institute will be your main base for learning."

Song Yuyan said while pulling Shen Qinghan by the hand, leading her toward the institute.

Lin Zichen silently followed behind the two of them.

...

By the time he returned to the office,

Lin Zichen walked into Liu Chuanwu's office, found him, and asked curiously,

"President, you said before that once I evolve to advanced level, you would find me a powerful backer. What's the level of the backer you're looking for, and are they more powerful than the Ye Zhou chief?"

"You might not believe this, but to be honest, I'm not too clear on that either,"

Liu Chuanwu said, stroking his beard.

"???"

Lin Zichen was bewildered.

What the hell?

The powerful backer you want to find, you're not clear about their strength?

How unreliable is that?

Seeing Lin Zichen's look of distrust, Liu Chuanwu also felt a bit guilty.

The backer he mentioned to Lin Zichen was still lying in a coffin in the Li family's basement.

Since they dug her out from the ruins, he had never seen the woman inside the coffin even once.

Because the coffin was sealed, the lid simply could not be opened.

Liu Chuanwu believed the woman in the coffin could be Lin Zichen's backer solely because she was the Pavilion Director of Tianren Pavilion.

As the Pavilion Director of Tianren Pavilion, her strength surely wouldn't be weak.

She must at least be an epic-level powerhouse.

Otherwise, how could she qualify to be the Pavilion Director?

Of course, all these were personal conjectures that Liu Chuanwu had made by analyzing relics and artifacts from the ruins.

What the reality was, nobody could say for certain.

After calming his nerves a bit, Lin Zichen looked at Liu Chuanwu and asked again, "President, who exactly is the powerful backer you're looking for?"

Liu Chuanwu replied, "The Pavilion Director of Tianren Pavilion."

"The Pavilion Director of Tianren Pavilion?"

Lin Zichen was surprised by the answer.

He quickly asked, "President, aren't you the Pavilion Director of Tianren Pavilion?"

"Of course not,"

After answering, Liu Chuanwu, while stroking his graying beard, explained, "I am just an archaeologist who dug the Pavilion Director of Tianren Pavilion out from the ruins."

Upon hearing this explanation, Lin Zichen was momentarily stunned.

After snapping back to reality, he hurriedly asked, "President, what exactly is going on here?"

Liu Chuanwu picked up the insulated mug from the desk, took a sip of goji berry tea to moisten his throat,

and then began to explain, "The Blood Tempering Technique was unearthed from the ruins. It's a method of body refining from an era on Earth a long time ago."

"This body refining method was an evolutionary path in that era."

"A path that could allow Earth's creatures to evolve to a higher level."

"Since there is the existence of a body refining technique, then there must certainly be a group of beings who specialized in cultivating this method to evolve."

"For such a group gathered together, evolving in the same way, we often refer to them as a sect or an ancient lineage."

"And Tianren Pavilion was a sect or lineage from that era."

"When I was excavating the ruins of Tianren Pavilion, I dug out a bronze ancient coffin."

"Inside the coffin lay a living person."

"A woman, a woman who claims to be the Pavilion Director of Tianren Pavilion."

"Now, this woman's physical condition is very weak, weakened to the point of being nearly unconscious in a dormant state."

"Before she weakened to this state, she taught me the most fundamental Blood Tempering cultivation technique."

"And she told me that as long as I, with my pure blood human body, could evolve into an advanced-level creature, then I could unseal her from the bronze ancient coffin by transferring Blood Qi Power through the air."

"However, after so many years of practicing the Blood Tempering Technique, my biological level has been stuck at the ordinary ninth rank, not seeing any possibility of breaking through the shackles of ordinary creatures."

At this point, Liu Chuanwu looked into Lin Zichen's eyes and said, "Just when I was about to give up, you appeared."
