A Person Transcending the Mortal World

"Where?"

Zhuang Xue'e looked over following Old Zhuang's hand, but only saw Qin Mo standing there.

She was stunned: "Grandpa, the person you're talking about, could it be...?"

Zhuang Huaisheng didn't answer her, but instead smiled at Qin Mo and said, "Alas, I haven't finished repaying the debt of gratitude I owe your master, and now I owe you my life."

"It seems that I, the Zhuang family, can never repay the debt of gratitude."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Xue'e finally realized something, and her expression froze.

"Grandpa, do you mean... Qin Mo is my fiancé?"

She couldn't believe it, and her feelings were incredibly complicated.

But someone was even more excited than her.

Huo Shaochong nearly jumped up, his lips twitching uncontrollably: "Old Zhuang, you're not joking with me, are you?"

But Zhuang Huaisheng ignored all of them, his gaze towards Qin Mo filled with admiration.

"You truly deserve to be called that person's disciple. It would be an honor for my Zhuang family if my granddaughter could marry you."

Although the others present were unaware of the inside story, they were all shocked to hear what Elder Zhuang said.

Who is Zhuang Lao?

He was a man who dominated the business world of the Great Yan Dynasty, known for his decisive actions and unwavering principles.

Zhuang Xue'e was the apple of the Zhuang family's eye, cherished and pampered by three generations.

Old Master Zhuang doted on this granddaughter.

But he said that Zhuang Xue'e marrying Qin Mo was a step up for her.

The calmest person present was Qin Mo.

He walked up to Elder Zhuang, neither humble nor arrogant, displaying only the proper courtesy a junior should show to an elder.

"Mr. Zhuang, we should have met a week ago."

He paused, then changed the subject: "No, I should say I met you a week ago."

Qin Mo wasn't surprised at all that Zhuang Huaisheng recognized him.

Zhuang Xue'e didn't know his name or appearance, but Zhuang Huaisheng certainly wasn't completely ignorant of him.

However, at this moment, Zhuang Xue'e finally reacted and punched Qin Mo in the chest with her fist.

"So, Qin Mo, you knew all along?"

Qin Mo glanced at her, feeling a little guilty: "Ahem, it's not that early..."

Moreover, it was Zhuang Xue'e herself who told him.

Anyway, Zhuang Xue'e was determined to break off the engagement, and now she owes me so many favors, so she shouldn't make things difficult for me, right?

Zhuang Huaisheng laughed and nodded at Qin Mo: "Good lad, the disciple that guy taught certainly didn't disappoint."

"Alright, even if I hadn't come today, we would have met sooner or later anyway."

"Since we've run into each other today, let's find somewhere else to talk."

Qin Mo did not refuse; the matter of the engagement should indeed be discussed properly somewhere.

However, some people were unhappy that he was leaving.

The group of researchers, led by Liu Xueyi, were having a very engaging discussion with Qin Mo.

When Qin Mo suddenly decided to leave, they were like virile men whose desires had been aroused but had nowhere to vent, wishing they could just hold Qin Mo down with them.

But Zhuang Huaisheng made the decision on the spot:

"I've approved the project for the Rejuvenation Pill."

"Afterwards, during the production period, I will invite Qin Mo to be our special consultant."

"If you have any questions, you can discuss them with him later."

"Qin Mo, what do you think?"

Qin Mo had no objection to this.

Although these researchers are a bit ambitious, their serious and responsible attitude shows that they are a group of people who want to get things done.

Including Liu Xueyi, he was the most fervent one, though a bit obsessive.

So he agreed without hesitation: "No problem. Your Qingxin Capsules aren't entirely useless. If needed later, I can help improve them."

Having received his assurance, Liu Xueyi waved his hand and told the laboratory staff to go back to work.

However, before leaving, he secretly asked for Qin Mo's contact information.

Throughout the entire process, Zhuang Huaisheng watched with a smile, pleased to see it succeed.

Only Zhuang Xue'e and Huo Shaochong had different expressions.

One of them had a complex expression, it was hard to tell whether he was angry or relieved.

What angered her was that Qin Mo had lied to her.

But she was also happy because her fiancé was actually Qin Mo... Thank goodness it was Qin Mo.

Huo Shaochong gritted his teeth and barely managed to suppress his anger, preventing himself from fighting with Qin Mo in front of Zhuang Huaisheng.

Although he was no match for him.

After that, Zhuang Huaisheng led Qin Mo ahead.

Zhuang Xue'e and Huo Shaochong followed behind in a daze.

Accompanied by Zhuang Huaisheng's butler and bodyguards, the group left the company in a grand procession.

In the car, Zhuang Huaisheng kept looking Qin Mo up and down.

"How is your master...?"

Qin Mo didn't know which master he was asking about, but the three masters' abilities were not bad except that they couldn't leave Black Stone Prison.

"Everything is fine."

Zhuang Huaisheng ignored the word "all" in his words and looked on with a sigh.

"Back then, the Zhuang family business was almost ruined by me. In order to save the family business, I took a risk and went overseas."

"Unexpectedly, we encountered bandits at sea."

"If it weren't for your master, not only would I have lost the dealer, but I would have lost my life to the pirates."

"With your master's abilities, if he were willing to emerge into the world, he would undoubtedly become a powerful ruler."

"Unfortunately..."

Judging from his words, the person who saved him back then must have been his master.

Qin Mo smiled nonchalantly: "Elder Zhuang, there's no need to be sad. Master has always known what he wants."

"Perhaps for her, being a powerful ruler is not as comfortable as being where she is now."

Zhuang Huaisheng was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter: "That's true. For someone like your master, these worldly things are not even worthy of her attention."

Qin Mo remained noncommittal.

Although the old man had a bias towards his master, what he said was by no means an exaggeration.

They've even become somewhat low-key.

With her master's abilities, if she wanted, she could not only become a powerful ruler, but also contend for the world.

But she didn't want to, and she wasn't willing to.

Because she had long since transcended the mortal realm.

What they pursue is no longer as simple as worldly fame and fortune.

But some people don't think so.

They were traveling in a minivan, with Zhuang Xue'e and Huo Shaochong in the last row.

Huo Shaochong scoffed at Qin Mo and Zhuang Huaisheng's conversation.

He leaned back in his seat and muttered to himself:

"Tch, what are you bragging about?"

"Everyone likes to say they are indifferent to fame and fortune, but frankly, it's just that they don't have enough fame and fortune."

"Or perhaps, it's simply that their abilities can't keep up with their ambitions, forcing them to adopt a more detached attitude."

"I just don't believe it. If someone really had that much power, how could they have never heard of such a person?"

"Grandpa Zhuang just has a special filter on his savior."

As for Qin Mo, he was just lucky to have found a good master.

Otherwise, does he even deserve to be engaged to Zhuang Xue'e?

Although Zhuang Xue'e's feelings were very complicated at the moment, she still subconsciously defended Qin Mo after hearing his words.

"Shut up! Do you think you can question what my grandfather says?"

Huo Shaochong was about to retort when he suddenly remembered something.

He took a deep breath and calmed down: "Just wait and see, Xue'e. You'll find out who is the best match for you."

"You'll see it soon!"
