91: Chapter 90 This battle was evenly matched.
Baigong Planet, low earth orbit.
The pure white spacecraft gradually decelerated, passing through a massive floating ring.
"Identification verified. Xuannü Pharmaceuticals spacecraft, you may proceed via the priority lane."
"Please follow the flight path guidance and descend to the surface in an orderly manner."
Just as the observation deck hatch opened, Li Fan walked out, clutching his waist.
Although he looked a bit disheveled, he was in much better shape than usual.
Wen Xinmei followed behind Li Fan, stumbling slightly.
She was panting softly and asked with a hint of resentment, "That move you used midway just now, why haven't I seen you use it before?"
Li Fan curled his lips into a smile and teased, "You'll have to be careful in the days to come."
"Don't accidentally lose control and fall for this move of mine."
After saying this, Li Fan chuckled and quickened his pace.
In this battle, he had finally escaped the one-sided situation of the past.
With the support of the Water Summoning Technique, he had traded blows with Wen Xinmei, evenly matched!
Arriving in the cabin and sitting down, Li Fan mimicked Nangong Miao's methods.
He took out a great rejuvenation pill, brewed a pot of greenish health tea, and lowered his head to savor it.
The medicinal power slowly dispersed within his body, much gentler than swallowing it directly.
Wen Xinmei also walked in. She first glanced at Xiao Chun, who was still organizing family data, then turned her gaze toward Li Fan, who was leisurely drinking tea.
She sat down opposite him, just about to ask about matters regarding Xiao Chun.
Li Fan swallowed a mouthful of tea, smacked his lips, and said leisurely, "Xinmei, I'll be full of energy again soon..."
As he spoke, his eyes swept over Wen Xinmei's slightly flushed knees. "Can you keep up with my rhythm?"
Hearing this, Wen Xinmei dismissed the idea of asking about Xiao Chun and turned to meet Li Fan's gaze.
Gritting her teeth, she stared daggers at Li Fan and replied, "I was careless this time. I didn't expect you to have such a lewd Cultivation Technique."
"I'll make you pay next time!"
Xiao Chun, who was listening to the two conversing nearby, was confused, so she chimed in, "Secretary Li, what is your cultivation level?"
Li Fan didn't know why she suddenly asked this, but he still replied, "Foundation Establishment Late Stage."
Wen Xinmei added huffily from the side, "Secretary Li is from Xuanzong University just like me, and he hasn't even graduated yet."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chun was greatly surprised.
She had thought this pretty boy Li Fan was from some idol group, living off Chief Wen.
She hadn't expected him to be a student from the top institution, Xuanzong University.
Combined with their earlier conversation, after a brief moment of thought, Xiao Chun finally realized.
"So Chief Wen and Secretary Li went up to spar just now?"
"No wonder they weren't in the cabin..."
She couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
"I actually thought they went up there to make out."
"As expected of the Genius Cultivators from Xuanzong University, they even improve themselves while traveling..."
Thinking this way, Xiao Chun's impression of Li Fan improved significantly.
Just then, the spacecraft landed. She stood up, gathered her spirits, and said, "Chief Wen, Secretary Li, please follow me."
Wen Xinmei stood up first and walked side-by-side with Xiao Chun, discussing matters.
Li Fan followed leisurely behind.
Leaving the spacecraft, he looked around and saw that they were on the roof of a massive pure white building.
Several other white buildings were clustered around it.
Ahead, Xiao Chun introduced the place at the right moment.
"This is the office established by United Pharmaceutical on Baigong Planet."
"Compared to the building on the Main Planet, this location is closer to the bustling core area."
"And because the land price on Baigong Planet is much lower."
"The scale is actually even larger."
Two rows of Cultivators stood neatly on both sides of the spacecraft.
A quick sweep of his gaze revealed that they were all at the Foundation Establishment stage, and even the personnel waiting in the back had a minimum cultivation level of Qi Refining Perfection.
Seeing such a grand display, Li Fan finally realized what it meant for a joint enterprise to be established under official leadership.
Xuannü United Pharmaceuticals was the largest pharmaceutical company in the Xuannü Civilization to date.
The branch manager hurried forward to welcome them. Judging by the aura radiating from his body, his cultivation was a cut above Wen Xinmei's.
Yet, he was respectful, bowing as he spoke, "Chief Wen, Little Secretary, representatives from various noble families have already arrived one after another, and they are all being hosted in the reception hall downstairs."
Wen Xinmei nodded slightly. "Lead the way."
Li Fan, following behind, felt puzzled. "Little Secretary, is he talking about me?"
After some thought, he realized something and sent a voice transmission to Xiao Chun, "Is your surname Xiao?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Nothing."
This Xiao Chun really lived up to her name.
It just so happened that Li Fan had no intention of being a proper secretary.
He sent a voice transmission to Wen Xinmei, "I'm going to look around, you go handle your business."
"Understood, go play."
Wen Xinmei knew that with Li Fan's temperament, he wouldn't be able to listen to all these business dealings and complications.
After a crisp and decisive reply, she followed the branch manager toward the reception hall downstairs.
After everyone had left the rooftop, Li Fan walked to the edge of the building and looked out into the distance.
The scenery of the Yan Region was as it had always been. With his keen eyesight, he could even see students from Yan High School coming and going.
His gaze continued to sweep across, and a familiar building appeared.
It was the apartment where he had lived with Luo Qingqian for a period of time. Seeing this, Li Fan felt a stir of emotion.
"Let's go take a look, maybe she hasn't moved out yet."
After speaking, he vaulted over the railing of the building and dropped straight down.
At the corridor on the first floor of the pure white building, a team of General Management Bureau Cultivators stood guard on both sides.
Li Fan suddenly dropped from high above, landing right in front of a General Management Bureau Cultivator who was patrolling, startling him into a shock.
"Who goes there!?"
The General Management Bureau Cultivator instantly drew the standard long saber from his waist, pointing the blade directly at Li Fan, his expression tense.
Li Fan took a step back and hurriedly explained, "I'm just passing by, I'll leave right now."
As he finished speaking, he turned to leave, but was sharply stopped by the saber-wielding Cultivator.
"Stop! Where are you from? What are you here for? Where are you going?"
Three consecutive questions came at him, making Li Fan's mouth twitch.
However, on second thought, his entrance was indeed too bizarre, and it was reasonable for the other party to be so vigilant.
He sighed softly and answered truthfully, "I came from the Main Planet to attend the United Pharmaceutical meeting, and I'm just going out for a stroll."
Once these words were spoken, the doubt on the saber-wielding Cultivator's face deepened.
How could this unkempt brat before him be associated with the noble family dignitaries who could attend the meeting?
"You?"
"Hand over your storage Magical Artifact! Lie on the ground and let me search you."
Upon hearing this, Li Fan was not pleased.
Not to mention that all his belongings were in the System space and he didn't have a storage Magic Treasure at all, just the request to lie on the ground was too humiliating.
He simply spread his hands. "I don't have a storage Magic Treasure."
Seeing this, the Cultivator immediately called his colleagues over.
"Brothers, there's a troublemaker here who won't cooperate with the inspection."
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding General Management Bureau Cultivators drew their long sabers and surrounded him.
Not far away, a pale gold aircraft landed steadily, and the hatch slowly opened.
A middle-aged man whose robes were embroidered with patterns of good fortune and gold ingots stepped down slowly, followed by a young steward.
The commotion Li Fan caused on the corridor side was quite large and immediately attracted their attention.
Seeing that the middle-aged man seemed quite interested, the young steward asked for instructions in a low voice, "Master, shall we go up and take a look?"
