Su Ping returns to the Heart of Soul, feeling energized by two new talents: Fortune Cat's body enhancement and Super Limit Spirit, which allows for extended spiritual power use. He contemplates the unique 'Lower Chart' feature of the Ji Yin Di Fu Ling Catalog. Later, at the Heart of Woods, Guan Lili informs Su Ping that President Qin and his father, Qin Chuan, are present, and Su Ping decides to greet them.

"Su Ping, you rascal, you finally came back!"

Su Ping shifted his gaze from his body and greeted, "Old Qin, Uncle Qin."

"Alright, since you’ve returned, Xiao Ping, I’ll head off now. I’ve got some errands to run."

Guan Qianshan said thoughtfully as he took his leave.

Su Ping sat down and sighed helplessly:

"Old Qin, next time you decide on something, please inform me in advance. This is such a big deal, my Heart of Earth was supposed to start construction, but your sudden decision delayed it for quite a while."

"You youngster, these things are trivial. The development in the East Suburb was already decided. The Heart of Myriad Spirits is Jianghai’s pride, and Jianghai must support it with policies for emotional and logical reasons!

But, brat, that’s not why I’m here today. Are you agreeable to the matter from last time? Rest assured, the corresponding benefits will be substantial and even a bit extraordinary..."

Qin Erlong’s eyes were fixed on Su Ping.

Leaving Su Ping in a bind, he said helplessly:

"Old Qin, I really don’t have much time, but you can use me for promotion. If I have time, I’ll visit the academy, and if needed, I’ll occasionally give a lecture. If you don’t fear I’m misleading the students, I won’t hesitate.

But let’s skip the benefits; I’m really doing it out of regard for you and Sang Sheng. I’m quite busy myself, so I hope you understand."

Obviously, it’s nearly impossible to have Su Ping serve as a full-time professor at Jianghai College.

Old Qin knows,

Besides, even if Su Ping agrees due to their relationship, others would likely not be willing either.

Su Ping’s worth doesn’t require wasting too much time on teaching.

Occasionally teaching is already a significant gesture.

"Hehe, occasionally is fine! It’s really hard to leverage you, our Jianghai treasure! Now, let’s see which other advanced colleges in neighboring provinces can compete with me!

Eventually, Jianghai Advanced College might even surpass some of the other Eight Great Academies!"

Old Qin was thoroughly satisfied.

Hearing those words, Su Ping’s eyelid twitched:

"Old Qin, I don’t have such great abilities! The Eight Great Academies have stood in Dragon Nation for a century, and their foundation is incomparable, isn’t it a bit excessive to set such high goals?"

Old Qin gave him a disdainful glance:

"You seriously underestimate your value and ability! I believe in you! When Jianghai College’s campus isn’t far from your Heart of Myriad Spirits, it’ll bring you great business, won’t it?"

Su Ping raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Jianghai College’s campus is already completed? Where is it?"

"You rascal, don’t you take Jianghai’s major affairs to heart? Such a minimal distance issue, and you didn’t notice?"

Qin Erlong replied displeased, then took out a map.

Su Ping’s first surprise was that the East Suburb main road in front of the Heart of Myriad Spirits had been renamed to ’Myriad Spirit Road’.

Meanwhile, within less than a kilometer west of Myriad Spirit Road, is the designated area known as ’University City’.

Besides Jianghai Advanced College, basic facilities are installed, and the development appears orderly.

The proximity?

No wonder the number of visitors to the Heart of Myriad Spirits has increased lately.

Having just returned from outside the Heart of Soul, the vehicles on the main road also grew in number, less desolate than before.

Now I understand, Su Ping nodded in realization.

Students, let alone the high-level seedlings of future beastmasters upon entering advanced colleges, even when I was in school, the costs were quite high.

Throughout history, students have undoubtedly been powerful consumers.

Although Su Ping disregard financial strategies relying on thin margins and large sales, the Heart of Myriad Spirits can’t solely rely on regular beastmaster trainees for survival.

Still, it does contribute to the future of the Heart of Myriad Spirits.

Clearly, Qin Erlong’s mood was exceptional after easing a concern.

He stood up:

"Well, where’s my granddaughter? I haven’t seen that girl in ages, I’m going to find her first, Su Ping, A Chuan wants to chat with you, but I’ll look for Xiao Xue first."

Su Ping nodded, the man who nearly cost him his life back then following Qin Erlong here was evidently not just sightseeing.

"Su Ping, this is technically our third meeting."

As the door to the reception room closed, Qin Chuan smiled slightly, his handsomeness suggesting Miss Qin inherited from him significantly.

Su Ping nodded too: "I didn’t expect to see you at my place again."

Compared to Qin Erlong, Su Ping felt a bit more distant with Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan wasn’t bothered and even casually joked about it:

"Nonetheless, it’s better than our first meeting place, isn’t it?"

Su Ping was momentarily surprised, then nodded: "True."

Neither spoke further, leading to an awkward silence.

However, Su Ping wasn’t interested in idle chatter with him, so straightforwardly he said:

"Uncle Qin, if you have something to say, please just share."

"Su Ping, the previous matters were my fault. I wronged both you and Xiao Xue, but this time I came to warn you!"

Qin Chuan appeared very serious.

"Your Pingyun Company, I’ve heard, recently joined the Golden Association?"

Upon hearing this, a slight ripple appeared in Su Ping’s gaze, but he feigned mild surprise before recalling:

"Golden Association? Oh, the special business organization Dong Muyun told me about? It seems so."

Seeing Su Ping uninterested, Qin Chuan frowned slightly but continued:

"When I was outside Dragon Nation, I formed Da Chuan and interacted with global conglomerates, the Golden Association might not be simple, perhaps linked to the Golden Heart I intended to join back then.

Be careful, don’t repeat my mistakes!"

Unexpectedly, Qin Chuan’s visit merely intended as a warning.

Su Ping was briefly surprised, then said:

"Golden Heart? The business group in Eagle Country? But it’s just a commercial entity, on Blue Star, beastmastery is fundamental to everything, shouldn’t pose a threat?"

He smiled:

"But Uncle Qin, now I sort of understand why you’d join something like the Golden Heart, truly investing real money!"

Qin Chuan’s frown deepened, but he slowly stood up:

"Su Ping, I’m not joking with you, finance has the potential to disrupt decades-old rules on Blue Star and establish new ones! Venturing into it entails danger.

I was ignorant then; reminding you is for Xiao Xue’s sake, think about it, because your power now exceeds mine, don’t dismiss it."

With that, Qin Chuan turned to leave.

Su Ping merely stood to bid, then sat back down, his brow furrowed.

Considering this for a while, he picked up his phone and sent a message to an unedited contact.

Afterward, Su Ping slowly exited the reception room.

Even before contemplating Qin Chuan’s intentions, suddenly a vine quickly approached from not far away.

The Sky-reaching Vine sent a unique psychic communication:

"Su Ping, come quickly, Black Crow and Red Lotus are fighting..."

"Huh? Red Lotus? Extreme Flame Red Lotus?"

"Correct..."

Su Ping felt overwhelmed, how could they fight so soon after just being back for a day?

Yet he dared not delay and hurried towards Forest Heart.
