39: How did you know that spiritual energy would be revived five years later?

"Shi Niang, we meet again!"

In the reception room, Li Mu looked at the girl who appeared at the door, and a bright smile immediately appeared on his face.

The moment Shi Niang saw Li Mu, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

However, she didn't say anything, but instead asked with a puzzled expression, "Are you looking for me... for something?"

As she spoke, the contents of the diary subconsciously came to Shi Niang's mind, and when she looked at Li Mu's face again, her heart couldn't help but beat a little faster.

"No!"

Li Mu admitted very straightforwardly.

Then he said, "I came here to do something, and I just happened to find out that you work at this company, so I came to chat with you for a bit."

Shi Niang: "..."

Shi Niang glared at him somewhat dejectedly; he was clearly here for her, yet he was making such an excuse!

However, for some reason, Shi Niang felt a little happy inside.

Then she simply changed the subject, knowingly asking, "How did you know my name? We don't seem to have known each other before..."

"That's a long story."

Li Mu looked at Shi Niang opposite him, the warm smile on his face seemingly never fading.

"You'll understand later..."

After Li Mu finished speaking, he shook his head, seemingly unwilling to continue the topic.

Seeing Li Mu like this, Shi Niang rolled her eyes, then said, "I'm quite busy right now. If you don't have anything else, then I'll go back to work."

After speaking, Shi Niang turned around, but the moment she turned her back to Li Mu, her cheeks flushed slightly.

Because when she heard Li Mu say, "You'll understand later," she subconsciously thought of spending decades with Li Mu in the future.

She had only met Li Mu twice, and they had barely interacted, but for some reason, she always felt very shy when facing him.

It was as if she always felt Li Mu knew everything about her!

Seeing that Shi Niang had already walked to the door again and was about to leave the reception room.

At this moment, Li Mu suddenly asked, "Are you free after work? How about I treat you to dinner and we get to know each other again?"

"Treat me to dinner?"

Shi Niang was slightly surprised, but just as she was about to find an excuse to refuse, upon seeing the gentle look in Li Mu's smiling eyes, she inexplicably nodded.

When she realized what she had done, her cheeks, which had only been slightly rosy, instantly flushed completely red.

Then she covered her face and ran away shyly.

Li Mu couldn't help but laugh as he watched Shi Niang's departing figure, laughing very happily.

During the training simulation, Shi Niang was like this when he first met her, easily getting shy at every turn.

He didn't expect that "after decades," he would see Shi Niang like this again...

.........

On the other side, in the direction of the capital.

In the Grand Elder's office.

As time passed little by little, just as the Grand Elder was still anxiously waiting, the door was knocked.

Hearing the sound, the Grand Elder almost reflexively looked towards the door, then directly said, "Come in!"

The next second, the door opened, and three figures walked in from outside.

The man in the lead was the one who had previously reported Qin Zhe's return to the Grand Elder.

After the man entered, he introduced to the Grand Elder, "Grand Elder, this is Qin Zhe, who has obtained the Immortal Legacy and is very powerful!"

As the man finished his introduction, Lan Kun next to him scratched his head with a dejected expression.

This scene was noticed by the Grand Elder, who then glanced at Lan Kun, noticing that Lan Kun's clothes were somewhat dirty and messy.

Then he asked with a smile, "Did you just have a match?"

Hearing the Grand Elder's question, Lan Kun immediately straightened his posture, then replied, "Yes!"

After speaking, his face fell again, and he said dejectedly, "I lost..."

Lan Kun looked dejected just thinking about losing to Qin Zhe.

He had, after all, obtained the Talent Spiritual Fruit for so many days, and during this time, he had been cooperating with the scientists' research, developing his abilities to become even more powerful.

But even so, he still couldn't defeat someone who had just obtained a Legacy.

How could he not be depressed...

Hearing Lan Kun's words, the Grand Elder chuckled, but specifically glanced at Qin Zhe next to Lan Kun, who had an embarrassed expression.

Qin Zhe was originally a straightforward man, but at this moment, facing such an important figure as the Grand Elder, he was somewhat "shy."

The Grand Elder smiled and said, "It's alright, victory and defeat are common in warfare. You just don't understand his abilities yet."

Hearing the Grand Elder's comfort, Lan Kun also nodded, "Indeed!"

"His strength is clearly not as strong as mine, but his attack style is too strange and elusive, which is why I fell for it."

"Next time for sure! I'll defeat him!!"

Lan Kun's fighting spirit was not dampened by his defeat to Qin Zhe; instead, it became even more invigorated.

He thought of the Dragon he had faced before, and then the man who effortlessly subdued the Dragon, as well as Qin Zhe now.

As the first person to gain extraordinary power, he didn't want to be surpassed and become the weakest!

The Grand Elder then pointed to the sofa next to him and said, "Sit down, it'll be good for me to sit down and rest a bit, ha ha ha..."

After the Grand Elder finished speaking, as if worried they would be too reserved, he took the lead and sat directly on the sofa.

Seeing the Grand Elder sit down, the three of them finally sat in the opposite seats.

After they were all seated, the Grand Elder's gaze turned to Qin Zhe in the middle seat, and he asked with a kind smile, "Xiao Qin..."

"Ah? Grand Elder, I'm here!"

Qin Zhe, whose nerves were already taut, fearing he would make a mistake in front of the Grand Elder, immediately sat up straight when he heard the Grand Elder call him.

He quickly replied to the Grand Elder.

However, the Grand Elder's reaction to him was somewhat exasperated.

He waved his hand at him and said, "Relax, no need to be so nervous. We are just... having a normal chat right now."

Seeing the Grand Elder's completely unpretentious demeanor, Qin Zhe finally relaxed.

Following that, the Grand Elder continued, "You've agreed to join the Special Affairs Handling Bureau, right?"

Qin Zhe immediately nodded.

The Grand Elder then asked, "Do you know what the work of this Special Affairs Handling Bureau is?"

Qin Zhe nodded again, "I know. Lan Kun told me about it on the way here."

"The main job is to deal with supernatural events!"

Hearing Qin Zhe's words, the Grand Elder nodded, then sighed, and said earnestly, "Then do you know why these supernatural events are happening?"

This time, Qin Zhe hesitated slightly.

Then he looked at the Grand Elder and asked softly, "Is it a sign before the Spiritual Qi recovery five years from now?"

Hearing this, the Grand Elder, who had originally been amiable, immediately froze.

Then he suddenly looked at Qin Zhe opposite him.

This sudden movement startled all three people opposite him.

The Grand Elder looked at Qin Zhe, his heart very unsettled: "How... did you know about the Spiritual Qi recovery five years from now?"
