Chapter 698: Chapter 646 Impact_3

"Up to now, the period since Immortal Sui Mu lost contact has been brief, and it remains unknown whether our actions have offended that entity. After all, that Qian Star person also had a record of not responding for over a year. However... the top has indeed made a decision to formally integrate the South Heavenly Gate project team into the True Immortal Research Institute and to elevate the authority of everyone involved. Because of the special nature of Xie Yusheng..."

Qiao Ningyun’s gaze fell on Qiao Siyu, "There’s a strong possibility that he will be promoted to a Sixth-level Civil Servant."

"Isn’t it said that Young Master Zhao took over his role as the contact?"

Qiao Siyu voiced her confusion.

"Previously, there indeed was a proposal for Young Master Zhao Qilin to replace him as the liaison for the Qian Star people, but it turns out that his actions displeased the Qian Star person. The more than a year of lost contact was caused by Zhao Qilin, and afterwards, the Qian Star person made no secret of it, practically appointing Xie Yusheng as the sole liaison. Therefore, with Immortal Sui Mu already out of contact, the top is hesitant to take further risks,"

Qiao Ningyun said, adding, "After all, the True Immortal Research Institute isn’t controlled by the Central Earth Kingdom, but is managed jointly by the Three Kingdoms."

"So what you mean is..."

"Exactly as Xie Yusheng suggested, to acquire Shanhai Group as Siyu’s dowry,"

Qiao Ningyun stated.

Upon hearing this, both Qiao Shian and Qiao Baining’s expressions tightened slightly.

Even for them, launching a takeover of Shanhai Group would require substantial effort.

However...

If the Qiao Family truly decided to act, it was not an impossible task, merely a matter of evaluating whether it was worth it or not.

"Is Xie Yusheng really worth the great cost we are considering spending to win him over?"

Qiao Shian couldn’t help but ask again.

"I’m not certain, but from my perspective, at the very least, we won’t lose out in this alliance,"

Qiao Ningyun stated.

Qiao Shian glanced at Qiao Siyu with a somewhat regretful sigh, "If only you had tamed him back then, none of this would be necessary."

"Isn’t it because you all sent me to approach Jin Yuming from the Golden Dragon Group? Otherwise, why would all my previous efforts have been in vain?"

Qiao Siyu appeared somewhat aggrieved, "I had almost completely tamed him at that time."

"No one can blame Xiao Yu for this. Xie Yusheng seems unambitious on the surface, but he possesses a tenacity and perseverance difficult for ordinary people to detect. Taming him completely is no easy feat. Even if he seems submissive on the surface, he would retaliate at any opportunity. Forcing him into submission would only backfire,"

Qiao Ningyun stated.

She held a rather high regard for Xie Yusheng.

"So, sister, are you saying... I shouldn’t continue trying to tame him to act as I wish?"

Qiao Siyu asked.

"As I said, Xie Yusheng has an inherent tenacity, and forced taming will only backfire. Let’s first see if the True Immortal Research Institute will increase the South Heavenly Gate project team’s authority. If its importance really rises, you should cut off ties with those young masters and concentrate on staying close to Xie Yusheng. While meddling in his responsibilities as much as possible, outwardly be a good wife and mother,"

Qiao Ningyun instructed.

"That won’t be difficult,"

Qiao Siyu nodded.

She was very familiar with Xie Yusheng.

Gaining control over him was almost a certainty.

Had not the family suddenly tasked her with approaching Jin Yuming from the Golden Dragon Group, Xie Yusheng would already be firmly within her grasp, completely at her mercy.

"Then, I will proceed with the takeover of Shanhai Group,"

Qiao Shian said.

"Yes, Xie Yusheng probably harbors some resentment towards the Xie Family, so making a bigger move in acquiring Shanhai Group shouldn’t be an issue,"

Qiao Ningyun said, but then paused as if she had received some message, and spoke out, "The institute is holding a high-level meeting, I need to attend that meeting..."

"Yun’er, go ahead by all means, don’t let these minor matters impact your work at the True Immortal Research Institute,"

Qiao Baining urged swiftly.

He, along with all the high-level members of the Qiao Family, knew that the rapid advancements in the Qiao Family’s developments over the years, progressing a thousand miles a day, were all because of Qiao Ningyun’s outstanding performance at the True Immortal Research Institute, possibly becoming a pioneer on the cultivator’s path.

Thus, all matters large and small within the Qiao Family had to make way for the True Immortal Research Institute.

The Qiao Family’s family meeting thus concluded.

...

"Rumble!"

Over a hundred miles outside Nankai City, it seemed as if the thunder roared.

In the dimness, a massive shadow appeared intermittently among the clouds.

It was Xie Yusheng, who had returned to Nankai City after destroying the Star Spirit Platform of the Star Shining Federation.

Although it was now deep into the night in the Central Earth Kingdom, almost dawn, Xie Yusheng felt not the slightest trace of sleepiness, his excited thoughts lingering for a long time.

Before today, he could never have imagined that he would be piloting a Mecha to strike at the military stronghold of the Star Shining Federation, powerfully complete a reconnaissance run, and afterward manage to return to Nankai City unscathed even after being bombed by more than a dozen nuclear warheads.

Reflecting on these encounters in less than ten hours, Xie Yusheng truly felt as if it were all just a dream, almost surreal.

Only now, as he approached the outskirts of Nankai City and switched the Mecha to anti-gravity flight mode to avoid causing too much disturbance, did Xie Yusheng barely calm down.

"Senior Taiyi, were all these things really done by me today?"

"Don’t be surprised, it was indeed you,"

Gu Jinlai said, "Moreover, this isn’t even your strongest form. When you someday cultivate the Chaos Demon God Eternal Method to the Third Level and condense your True Spirit, you will gain the ability of True Spirit Possession. At that time, you won’t only avoid using your True Body to face dangers, but you’ll also be able to control two, four, or even up to eight, sixteen Cheng Ying Mechas simultaneously. By then, you’ll be an army of one, a battalion of one, a dominator of one, invincible by yourself!"
