Spirit Nourishing Flower

Watching Chen Lie speak with such ease, Zhao Jinglan found it strange. "Who exactly are you? How do you know everything?"

As for the Outer Stars' allocation of Spirit Nourishing Flowers to Blue Star, she had only gained the right to know about it after becoming the executive president of Sunlight Group.

Yet Chen Lie was just an ordinary-looking young man. What gave him the right to understand it so clearly?

Besides, how could an ordinary youth dare to remain neither humble nor overbearing before her? What was his confidence? What did he rely on?

The social status brought by her position as executive president of Sunlight Group was no less than that of a deputy provincial official with real power in Dongchuan Province.

Did this boy not know what kind of person he was facing?

"I'm just an ordinary person," Chen Lie said.

Zhao Jinglan scrutinized Chen Lie closely but ultimately reached no conclusion. She could only nod. "Fine. I'll give you two pounds of Spirit Nourishing Flowers!"

With that, Zhao Jinglan snapped her fingers. Someone immediately brought an exquisite gift box to the desk in front of Chen Lie.

Chen Lie reached out and took the two pounds of Spirit Nourishing Flowers. "Tomorrow morning, I'll come here on time and solve your problem."

After saying that, Chen Lie picked up the Spirit Nourishing Flowers and pushed open the door, leaving the president's office and Zhao Jinglan behind with a face full of bewilderment.

Carrying the two pounds of Spirit Nourishing Flowers, Chen Lie returned to the first floor of Sunlight Tower.

In the lobby, Wang Hui and Meng Jing were sitting on the ground, surrounded by a group of security guards.

Chen Lie walked over to them and said, "Let's go, Wang Hui!"

The moment Wang Hui saw Chen Lie, he asked, "Chen Lie, where did you go?"

"I discussed something with General Manager Zhao from Sunlight Group. Don't worry, your cousin's job should be safe now."

"Really? How did you do it?"

"I'll tell you on the way."

Chen Lie walked up to the Sunlight Group executive who had been guarding the ten pounds of Raw Exotic Beast Meat and supplements. "Don't let these go to waste. Why not let me take them?"

The sharply dressed Sunlight Group executive immediately said, "Young man, these are stolen goods uncovered by the company. How can we let an outsider take them?"

"Is that so? Fine, then I'll ask General Manager Zhao to come help me get them."

"Take them, take them!"

Hearing that, the Sunlight Group executive immediately pushed the twenty pounds of Raw Exotic Beast Meat and supplements toward Chen Lie.

He would rather pay out of his own pocket to cover this small loss than face Zhao Jinglan's cold expression again.

"Thanks!"

Chen Lie turned around and left Sunlight Tower with Wang Hui.

When they reached the bus stop, Chen Lie and Wang Hui boarded a Flying Bus.

Once aboard, Chen Lie handed Wang Hui the supplements he needed.

"Chen Lie, why do you seem like a completely different person today? And that Mental Power stuff you mentioned to Zhao Jinglan—what exactly is going on?" After taking the supplements, Wang Hui could no longer suppress his questions.

Chen Lie had already prepared an explanation. "Have you heard of Divine Sense Masters?"

"Of course I have, but do we even have such rare people in Dongchuan Province?"

Chen Lie said, "President Zhao Jinglan of Sunlight Group is a Divine Sense Master. Something went wrong in her cultivation, and I just happen to be able to solve her problem."

Wang Hui was confused. "Where did you get the ability to solve a Divine Sense Master's problem?"

"Some time ago, I went to eat at Starlight Hotel in the provincial capital. There was an old man there with white hair and beard. He asked whether I wanted to become a Divine Sense Master, then accepted me as his disciple and taught me a few things. That's why I can solve Zhao Jinglan's problem."

"Holy shit, white hair and beard? He must be some big shot! So you're going to become a Divine Sense Master?"

Chen Lie nodded.

"Good brother, if you get rich, don't forget me!"

"If I get rich, I definitely won't forget you."

As he spoke, Chen Lie gave Wang Hui one hundred thousand Star Dollars in cash. "I also got the twenty pounds of Raw Exotic Beast Meat. Give this hundred thousand Star Dollars to your cousin. We caused him trouble today, after all."

"Even if I give this money to my cousin, I'm afraid he won't dare accept it."

"Whether he dares accept it or not, he deserves it."

At his current level, Chen Lie was weak and had no desire whatsoever to become entangled with people at the top of Dongchuan Province like Zhao Jinglan.

If not for Wang Hui's cousin, he would never have stepped forward.

He was currently only a Martial Arts Student at the Blood-Qi Stage. He should not display abilities that did not fit his current stage. If he revealed too much that was extraordinary and drew the ill intentions of powerful figures, he would have no room to resist.

"Still... this trip wasn't in vain."

Chen Lie looked at the two pounds of Spirit Nourishing Flowers in his hand and silently weighed his options.

He knew about the Outer Stars' distribution of Spirit Nourishing Flowers to Blue Star, so he could judge just how precious this thing was on Blue Star—so precious that money could not measure its worth.

According to his original plan, he would only have the ability to obtain Spirit Nourishing Flowers once his martial arts cultivation had reached a sufficient height, allowing him to begin cultivating Mental Power.

But now, with two pounds of Spirit Nourishing Flowers in his possession, he could activate Divine Sense at any time and step onto the path of Divine Sense cultivation.

At Sunlight Tower, Meng Jing watched Chen Lie and Wang Hui leave. Not knowing whether he could still return to his previous position, he stood there blankly.

At that moment, a young woman in professional attire walked over to Meng Jing.

"Supervisor Meng, the president wants to see you. Go to the president's office on the twenty-eighth floor now."

"Yes, I'll go right away."

Upon hearing this, Meng Jing immediately headed for the elevator and went to the president's office on the twenty-eighth floor.

Outside the office, Meng Jing adjusted his clothes and lightly knocked twice on the door.

A detached voice came from inside. "Come in."

"President."

"Mm." Zhao Jinglan slightly raised her head, her beautiful eyes settling on Meng Jing. "Tell me, what is the identity of that young man who came with your cousin today?"

Meng Jing immediately replied, "All I know is that his name is Chen Lie. He's a third-year Martial Arts Student at a key provincial high school."

Zhao Jinglan continued, "What about his family background?"

"His family background... should be about the same as my cousin's. They're fairly well-off."

Zhao Jinglan frowned slightly. That was not the answer she wanted. In her eyes, a fairly well-off family was no different from a poor household. It seemed this Meng Jing did not know much either.

"Fine. You can leave."

"Yes!"

Meng Jing turned around and pushed open the door, leaving the president's office.

After Meng Jing left, Zhao Jinglan turned to instruct the female assistant beside her, "Inform Human Resources. Promote Meng Jing, the warehouse supervisor, to deputy manager."

"Yes."

After receiving the order, the assistant hurried off to carry it out.

Zhao Jinglan picked up a document and placed it before her eyes, murmuring, "Chen Lie? I hope you won't disappoint me."

The headaches she suffered whenever she cultivated Mental Power had lasted nearly two years. She had invited quite a few Divine Sense Masters to treat her, but they had all been helpless before her condition.

In her view, no one in Dongchuan Province could likely help her. She had already delayed her cultivation for nearly two years, and she did not want to delay any longer.

Chen Lie's sudden appearance today had given her a sliver of hope. Since he could see through her condition at a glance, he must have some real ability.
