Chapter 603: Chapter 365: Personally Escorting Liu Xuan, Fight If You Dare

A seminar on the "Phase Theory" was still waiting for Lin Qi to preside over.

"Qi, we’re counting on you for this. I believe that once this seminar is successfully completed, more of Nanyun Potion’s younger generation will be promoted to S-Class. This is a great opportunity for us to secure more Weight."

"I’ve already spoken with the other old-timers. Consider this seminar a collective favor owed to you by the four great families of Nanyun Potion—and that includes the Lin Family, of course."

Xu Tianyun came to Lin Qi’s side, his tone incredibly gentle.

The junior researchers around them had never seen this side of Xu Tianyun before.

Lin Qi nodded, then suddenly remembered. ’Xu Tianyun is... quite powerful!’

’Even among Tier Four Extraordinaries, he’s considered a powerhouse!’

Lin Qi immediately put on an anxious expression and said, "Uncle Xu, let’s start the seminar as soon as possible. I can answer questions for the Nanyun Potion researchers at any time. We’re all on the same side here, but..."

Lin Qi trailed off, feigning hesitation.

Xu Tianyun quickly asked, "Qi, we’re all on the same side. In terms of our generation, you’re like a nephew to me. Do you have some concerns? If you’re worried about something, just say it. The older generation of our four great families has your back!"

Seeing Xu Tianyun’s attitude, both Xu Zhengming and Xu Qinghe stared wide-eyed, their hearts filled with a whirlwind of emotions.

’Since when was their grandfather so kind to someone from a younger generation?’

’They’d never seen him act like this before!’

Lin Qi, however, wasn’t surprised. After all, his decision to reveal his Talent in Pharmacy and create the "Phase Theory" had been for this very purpose.

Lin Qi had intended to get Nanyun Potion’s backing from the very beginning.

It was just that after gaining the status of a member of the Lin Family, Nanyun Potion’s support had become even stronger.

After a great show of hesitation, Lin Qi voiced his concern. "Uncle Xu, to be honest, I’m a little worried about Liu Xuan."

"According to the Super Alliance’s regulations, Liu Xuan needs to attend meetings in multiple domains, so she must check into the Remote Conference Mansion. She has to leave by eight in the morning at the latest and arrive before nine."

"You saw the scene outside the S-Class Pharmacy Society Mansion just now. It’s clear someone has us in their sights."

"Liu Xuan is a core member of the ’Phase Theory’ research team, and I’m very worried she’ll be targeted."

"I know there must be people protecting me in secret, but the forces assigned to protect Liu Xuan might not be sufficient."

"That’s why I was thinking we should finish the seminar as soon as possible. Then, in the morning, I can personally escort Liu Xuan."

Hearing Lin Qi’s "confession," Xu Qinghe, who was standing to the side, exclaimed, "Wow, Uncle Lin, you’re so good to Sister Liu!"

In public, Xu Qinghe had grown accustomed to addressing Lin Qi this way.

At the same time, Xu Qinghe turned her head to look at Xu Zhengming and said, "Grandpa, you won’t just stand by and do nothing, right? Uncle Lin and Sister Liu are making these sacrifices for our Pharmacy field."

Hearing Xu Qinghe’s words, Xu Zhengming, who was standing nearby, had a look of gratification in his eyes.

’His daughter might seem unreliable on a daily basis, but at least she wasn’t a complete fool when it mattered.’

’Saying something like that would easily win Lin Qi’s favor.’

’The era of Pharmacy 3.0 was about to begin, and Nanyun Potion’s four great, established families had to build a good relationship with Lin Qi.’

’Lin Qi represented the next hundred years of the Pharmacy Domain!’

’Not to mention, the Lin Family had always been known for their longevity...’

’Lin Qi’s influence could last for more than a hundred years!’

Xu Tianyun was also very pleased with Xu Qinghe’s reaction. After she spoke, he looked at Lin Qi with a sincere gaze and said, "My dear nephew, do not worry. Tomorrow, I will personally accompany you to ensure your little wife arrives safely at the Remote Conference Mansion."

"According to the rules of World City, as long as she successfully checks into the Remote Conference Mansion, those factions won’t dare to make a move. To do so would be a major violation of Super Alliance law."

"Rest assured, with your Uncle Xu here, I can guarantee your little wife’s safety—unless a Tier Five interferes!"

Xu Tianyun patted his chest, making a firm promise.

Lin Qi immediately put on a deeply moved expression and said, "Thank you, Uncle Xu!"

Xu Tianyun waved his hand dismissively. "The four great families of Nanyun Potion are practically one big family. It’s only right."

They exchanged a few more pleasantries.

The old man and the young man were both very satisfied with the outcome.

Lin Qi dropped the unnecessary "performance" and got down to business. "Let’s start the seminar now. We’re on a tight schedule."

’Lin Qi understood that, ultimately, the only reason he had secured Xu Tianyun’s help was because he had created value for Nanyun Potion.’

’He had already helped six researchers get promoted to S-Class ahead of schedule.’

’This had indirectly given Nanyun Potion six additional seats in the sub-conferences.’

’Each seat represented another chance to acquire Weight.’

’In the proceedings of the World Peace Conference, "Weight" was the most valuable commodity. It was the currency of the game played by the truly top-tier factions.’

Through the seminar, Lin Qi was creating further value and, in turn, increasing his own importance to the Eastern Alliance.

From now on, the Eastern Alliance’s special protection for Lin Qi would no longer be limited to Lin Xin’s influence. By his own Ability, Lin Qi had officially broken into the view of the behemoth that was the Eastern Alliance.

...

Time passed quickly, and the seminar continued until a little after six in the morning.

During the seminar, Lin Qi took a trip to the restroom and used the break to visit the Doomsday World.

The Doomsday World was temporarily stable. Internally, Wang Ziru was managing the Mo University Camp, while externally, Wang Qiang was waging campaigns in Lin Qi’s place to collect Tier Four Extraordinary Items.

In the short term, Lin Qi hardly needed to expend any extra energy in the Doomsday World.

The only reason Lin Qi insisted on visiting the Doomsday World every day was to get extra Meditation time.

The Meditation opportunities in the Doomsday World could not be wasted; Lin Qi still had a long and arduous path ahead of him for his promotion.

Lin Qi still needed to visit the Doomsday World three or four more times to reach Tier Four.

Just as Lin Qi was lost in thought, a very familiar voice called out.

"Uncle Lin! I’ve arranged the fleet of flying vehicles as Grandpa instructed. You and Sister Liu can leave whenever you’re ready."

Xu Qinghe was in high spirits; she was running an errand for Xu Tianyun.

Helping her grandfather with his tasks always came with a nice reward, so naturally, Xu Qinghe was quite happy.

Meanwhile, Xu Tianyun added, "To avoid any mishaps, I had Qinghe adjust the arrangements. We’ll be using the Xu Family’s flying vehicles and leaving half an hour early."

Lin Qi quickly thanked him. "Thank you, Uncle Xu. You’ve been very thoughtful."

Xu Tianyun smiled and said, "Go on, get your little wife ready to leave. Qinghe’s arrangements are solid, and the Xu Family’s internal operations are highly confidential. This trip should go very smoothly, I’m sure."

Lin Qi made no comment on Xu Tianyun’s words. He simply nodded, turned to leave the Circular Experimental Field, and headed straight for the room where Liu Xuan was resting.

...

In the temporary chat window for the Highest-Level Mercenary Corps.

King Arthur: "I’m in position. Currently in the underground pipes beneath the S-Class Pharmaceutical Society. Those idiots from the Round Table Conference will never guess that I’m back, and in the very same spot I hid in yesterday!"

Master Ma: "I’m here too. @Guang Ling, do you know the target’s specific route and schedule this time?"

Guang Ling: "The target will be taking a flying vehicle from Nanyun Potion’s Xu Family. The departure time is half an hour earlier than originally planned. I will email you the specific route shortly."

Guang Ling: "According to current intel, the Eastern Alliance’s Tier Four Powerhouse, Xu Tianyun, will be providing a full escort. By my prediction, with Xu Tianyun present, there is a 52.22% probability that the Mercenary Corps that took this job will choose to abandon the mission."

Guang Ling: "However, we can’t rule out the possibility of Round Table Knights creating chaos under hidden identities. I have obtained the Xu Family’s detailed plans and have prepared separate operational recommendations for each of you based on them. They have been sent to your inboxes."
