"I think Yueyan is a good manager!"

"Let's take turns; we can't always be the chairpersons!"

"These job swaps really shouldn't be happening too often. Yueyan is doing a great job; we definitely need to take a step back!"

"She led the committee to defeat Zhang Qiaoen's group, which is no easy feat to achieve against all odds. Although many people died, I think she performed exceptionally well."

Zhou Yueyan and Zhou Rihui returned to Western Capital City from the research institute for X446's medical treatment, while Chang Kongyinghao and Chang Kongyinglian arrived at the B13 research institute an hour later.

The treatment method was the same old trick, with Zhang Xuezhou performing a series of shamanistic rituals and chanting prayers to the god Tu'er before finally casting the spell.

Listening to the conversation between Chang Kong Yinghao and Chang Kong Yinglian, it was clear that the two were quite satisfied with their physical recovery, and at this moment they were discussing returning to the Sequence Committee.

After the riots, Western Capital City seemed to be suddenly Kongxu, but with the return of Chang Kongyinghao and others, and the recovery of Zhou Rihui and others, the Sequence Committee inevitably stabilized again.

"Sister Zhou doesn't want to be the rotating chairperson either," Zhang Xuezhou reminded the two.

"She doesn't want to be it, but how can she not want to be it? It's not like she can just refuse because she doesn't want to be it," Chang Kong Yinglian said.

"You don't want to take it, and she doesn't want to take it either, so why not give it to Professor Li Yingbo? Anyway, he's currently working part-time on the Sequence Committee and is even chairing related meetings," Zhang Xuezhou joked. "Everyone knows you're all seriously injured and haven't fully recovered. You might be able to hide in the back, and if someone tries to pull any tricks, you can suddenly appear and turn the tide!"

"What Professor Zhang said seems to make some sense!"

Chang Kong Yinghao nodded.

The Chang Kong Yinghao siblings are not the Zhou Household siblings; both of them are very perceptive.

Having gone through so many terrible things, if these two are still foolishly charging ahead, then there's something wrong with their thinking.

Zhang Xuezhou is right; hiding in the back is a good idea.

Many people know that they were seriously injured in North Rehe, but no one knows yet that they have recovered to about 80-90% of their original strength.

Standing out might be beneficial to the stability of the Sequence Committee, while remaining silent can expose the undercurrents hidden in the shadows.

Rather than spending a thousand days guarding against thieves, it's better to find the thief, kill him, and eliminate future troubles.

A strong and conservative Sequence Committee is unlikely to inspire people, but a weak Sequence Committee can certainly attract some flies and mosquitoes.

"If Zhao Tianhua and Pei Jing also storm Western Capital City to plot a rebellion like Zhang Qiaoen, our doubles attack can give them a big loss," Chang Kong Yinghao whispered.

"That still depends on Zhou Yueyan and Zhou Rihui not showing themselves," Chang Kong Yinglian nodded. "If they don't show themselves, it will be easier to create a false impression!"

"I heard that this time it was mainly thanks to Ren Yisheng. Should we team up with Ren Yisheng again?" Chang Kongyinghao suggested.

"I think it's fine; the price for staying at his hospital is quite affordable!"

Chang Kong Yinglian responded.

The two were clearly very optimistic about this plan.

For Chang Kong and his sister, they didn't have much to do. If they didn't receive any information related to the Seventh Sequence, they would basically stay in Western Capital City.

As long as they can come and go freely, the two have no objection to where they live.

In particular, the Jishi Medical Center also has a helipad, which allows Ren Yisheng to travel around using his aircraft, making it convenient to intervene in any situation.

"Professor Zhang, when is our next recuperation trip?"

"Do we have to wait until those heron-like creatures are retrieved?"

How many heron-like beasts are needed to maintain divine grace?

"Can we use this Divine Grace of Thurs to heal our injuries next time?"

Once the decision was made, Chang Kongyinghao and the others quickly shifted their focus back to treatment.

Zhang Xuezhou made no guarantees or promises, only mentioning that the divine grace of the God of Tuer was unpredictable, and that at least for now, divine grace could be obtained by sacrificing egrets. He also said that as long as Chang Kongyinghao and the others recovered their health, he could undergo a second treatment at any time.

"May I see how you worship the god Tu'er?" Chang Kong Yinghao asked.

"Normally this is not permitted, but since you have asked, I can show it to you," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"Normally speaking?" Chang Kong Yinghao frowned. "It seems our request is inappropriate. Will it cause any harm?"

"That's how it is according to the rules of the Tuer religion," Zhang Xuezhou shook his head and said, "But you don't need to worry. I only received some divine favor, at most the favor will be taken back. The Tuer god shouldn't be able to do anything to me, and I don't rely on this to get rich!"

"Don't!"

Zhang Xuezhou was very generous.

But Chang Kongyinghao could not accept Zhang Xuezhou's generosity.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't care about divine favor, but Chang Kong Yinghao did.

Without Zhang Xuezhou's help, it would have taken him and Chang Kong Yinglian at least three to five years to fully recover from their injuries, and their own ability to perform at that level would have been questionable.

If this helper's abilities were to disappear just like that, Chang Kong Yinghao felt that the price of his 'curiosity' had been too high.

He was indeed very curious to know how Zhang Xuezhou would use up his divine grace, and why he specifically targeted the egret.

Of course, Zhou Rihui had previously mentioned designating the Danhuang of the ferocious insect in the Thousand Islands Alliance as a divine grace, which is easier to understand, since the ferocious insect was causing trouble in the territory of the God of Tuer, and the egret was indeed difficult for the heroes of the sky to understand.

"We don't necessarily have to go see it. Just give us a quick, subtle hint," Chang Kong Yinglian said in a low voice. "If that's not allowed, then there's no need to say anything."

"It's nothing," Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand and said, "When I perform the ritual, I inject myself with heron blood essence and then offer it to the divine grace of Tu'er to receive a response!"

"Huh?" Chang Kong Yinglian asked in surprise.

"Is that Danhuang also injected?" Chang Kong Yinghao asked incredulously.

"Danhuang isn't injected; I have to ingest it," Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand and said, "The taste is indescribably awful. But I escaped with my life from Zhang Qiaoen's clutches, so I guess I've received some reward for swallowing this divine gift!"

"This... this is simply..."

Chang Kong Yinglian ultimately concluded that only young people could handle such matters.

She could accept swallowing some foreign objects, but Chang Kong Yinglian could not accept injecting incompatible blood into her body.

Blood serums that dissolve in the body can provide the conditions for temporarily practicing certain Gene Fighting Technique, while blood serums that are not compatible with the body will not bring any effect. Sometimes, they may even clash with the body's original genes, causing gene chaos, inducing problems such as Gene Fighting Technique becoming invalid and sequence decline.

In short, you can do whatever you want with low sequences, but nobody wants to take such risks with high sequences.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't get rich through divine grace, but he did gain some benefits, which helped Chang Kong Zhang Xuezhou and Chang Kong Yinglian understand why the other party was collecting divine grace for the God of Tu'er.

If my guess is correct, Zhang Xuezhou may have also received some hidden benefits, such as the other party's ability related to the psychology of strange beasts.

Chang Kongyinghao and the others also knew that Zhang Xuezhou had made a lot of money from Zhu Liangping's alien beast factory.

Thinking about it this way, they came to understand many things better.

"What kind of being is the God of Tu'er?" Chang Kong Yinghao asked in a low voice.

"If you go to the Thur Shrine in the Thousand Islands Alliance, you might be able to feel the power of the god Thur," Zhang Xuezhou said. "His heart is as vast as the sea, his power is boundless, his voice shakes the heavens and earth, his breath is like the breath of mountains and rivers, his every smile and frown is like the most beautiful thing in the world, his caresses are as warm as a father's, he..."

Zhang Xuezhou praised loudly, and from time to time he would raise his hands in a devout bow.

This made Chang Kongyinghao feel that the education Scarlet Alliance State was a complete failure. After so many years of materialistic education, there were still such fanatical believers who believed in religion and God.

But Chang Kong Yinghao also had to admit that if it weren't for this inexplicable god Tu'er, he and Chang Kong Yinglian would have been rendered useless.

It wasn't just Zhang Xuezhou who possessed this ability; Ren Anran Ren Anran also had it, and she even went to the Tuer District specifically to cultivate.

Chang Kongyinghao didn't believe in God, and he also found it difficult to understand this medical ability, but he had to learn to accept it.

After his thoughts clashed back and forth for a long time, he finally sorted out his ideas.

Patients go to the hospital for treatment, pay the fees, get better, and leave. No one asks the doctor why they prescribed these medications, how they were produced, or how they produce their effects in the body.

Once his injuries have healed and the instruments show no problems, he won't need to worry about these things.
