Chapter 314: They Sell Nonsense!

So did the others.

Instantly.

Rose’s mouth opened.

Bai Xue started laughing.

Tang Meilin covered her face.

Gu Qingya stared.

Lin Yue whispered...

"They listened."

Chi Lingxi smiled proudly.

Qin Hao’s expression became increasingly complicated.

This man had old cultivation masters sitting on command.

What kind of villain route was this?

. . .

Qin Wusheng finally calmed down.

Then...

His expression became serious.

"I returned because I sensed something."

Shen Tian’s green eyes sharpened slightly.

"What?"

Qin Wusheng looked toward Qin Hao.

Then...

Chen Mo.

Then...

Back toward Shen Tian.

"Destiny moving."

Silence.

Both system users became alert.

Qin Hao’s heartbeat increased.

Shen Tian’s expression remained calm.

Qin Wusheng continued.

"Three days ago..."

"I felt the Qin Family’s ancestral formation change."

Qin Hao frowned.

That wasn’t in his system.

"Change how?"

The ancestor looked toward him.

For the first time.

Qin Hao immediately straightened.

Qin Wusheng’s gaze became complicated.

"It recognized you."

Qin Hao froze.

"What?"

"Before..."

The old man’s eyes narrowed.

"...it rejected you."

Silence.

Qin Hao’s face changed.

The original Qin Hao.

Of course.

Cruel.

Wasteful.

Unworthy.

The ancestral formation likely never accepted him.

But now...

Qin Wusheng continued.

"It no longer sees you as the same person."

The entire room became silent.

Qin Hao’s stomach dropped.

His system erupted.

WARNING

WARNING

Soul anomaly risk increasing

Qin Hao kept his expression steady.

Barely.

Then...

Qin Wusheng smiled.

"Interesting."

Qin Hao forced a laugh.

"People change."

The ancestor stared.

"Yes."

A long pause.

"Sometimes dramatically."

Qin Hao’s heart hammered.

Shen Tian watched.

Interesting.

Very interesting.

Qin Wusheng wasn’t aware of transmigration.

Probably.

But...

He could sense something was wrong.

Qin Hao realized that too.

And for the first time since meeting Shen Tian...

He looked slightly nervous.

Shen Tian’s lips twitched.

Qin Hao caught it.

His eyes narrowed.

Don’t.

Shen Tian smiled.

Qin Hao’s eye twitched.

. . .

Then...

Qin Wusheng turned toward Chen Mo.

"You."

Chen Mo looked up.

"Senior."

The ancestor studied him.

Then...

Nodded.

"Strong foundation."

Chen Mo clasped his hands.

"Thank you."

Qin Hao stared.

No insult.

No dismissiveness.

No family elder trying to crush Chen Mo because he was poor.

Good.

At least one thing was changing for the better.

Then...

Qin Wusheng looked toward Shen Tian again.

"You sensed them too."

Shen Tian’s eyebrow rose.

"Them?"

"The currents."

Silence.

Xu Ning immediately spoke.

[Careful.]

Shen Tian smiled.

"Maybe."

Qin Wusheng stared.

Then...

His lips curved upward.

"You really like that word."

"Useful word."

"Hm."

The ancestor turned.

Then...

Walked back toward the stage.

"Good."

He raised his cane.

"Then tonight will be interesting."

Qin Hao’s expression changed.

His system flashed.

Unknown Event Modification

Succession route altered by Qin Wusheng

Qin Hao mentally cursed.

Shen Tian smiled.

Qin Hao saw.

"Stop."

Shen Tian glanced over.

"What?"

"Enjoying this."

"Can’t."

"Why?"

"Too late."

Qin Hao closed his eyes.

. . .

Qin Wusheng reached the stage.

Then...

Looked toward the family elders.

"Succession."

Qin Hao’s father immediately approached.

"Ancestor..."

Qin Wusheng waved him off.

"I’ve listened to family politics for seventy years."

Silence.

"I’m bored."

Qin Hao blinked.

Shen Tian’s eyebrow rose.

Rose smiled.

Bai Xue whispered...

"I like him."

Qin Wusheng continued.

"The family planned speeches."

"Votes."

"Promises."

"Business reports."

"Blah..."

He waved his hand.

"...blah."

Several elders looked horrified.

Qin Hao almost laughed.

The ancestor pointed toward him.

"Qin Hao."

Qin Hao straightened.

Then...

Toward another man.

Qin Hao’s cousin.

Qin Lei.

Age twenty-seven.

Original secondary villain.

Someone Qin Hao had already exposed for financial corruption.

Qin Lei’s face turned pale.

Then...

Qin Wusheng pointed toward Qin Yuwei.

She froze.

"All three."

Murmurs.

Qin Hao frowned.

The ancestor continued.

"The next family head must prove three things."

"Judgment."

"Strength."

"And..."

His eyes sharpened.

"...whether people willingly follow them."

Shen Tian’s expression changed slightly.

Interesting.

Qin Hao’s system updated.

New Succession Trial Detected

Plot route completely altered

Qin Hao’s heart sank.

His preparation...

Half useless now.

Of course.

Shen Tian attends.

Ancestor wakes up.

Plot breaks.

Why wouldn’t it?

Qin Wusheng smiled.

"First."

He held up one finger.

"Judgment."

Three attendants entered.

Each carried a sealed folder.

They placed one before Qin Hao.

One before Qin Lei.

One before Qin Yuwei.

Qin Wusheng continued.

"Inside each folder is information regarding a Qin Family subsidiary."

"One company must be sold."

"One expanded."

"One shut down completely."

"You have ten minutes."

Qin Hao stared.

Business test?

This...

He could handle.

His system immediately activated.

Assistance available

Spend 2,000 Villain Points for optimal analysis?

Qin Hao mentally responded.

No.

The system paused.

Declined.

He opened the folder.

He wasn’t wasting points.

He had spent days studying the family.

Time to use it.

Across the hall...

Shen Tian returned to his table.

Rose looked at him.

"What do you think?"

"About?"

"Qin Hao."

Shen Tian looked toward the stage.

Qin Hao was already reading rapidly.

Focused.

Calm.

"No idea."

Rose raised an eyebrow.

"You’re lying."

"Maybe."

She smiled.

Then...

Her fingers moved beneath the table.

She lightly touched his hand.

Shen Tian looked down.

Rose’s cheeks became faintly pink.

Then...

She intertwined their fingers.

No announcement.

No teasing.

Just...

Contact.

Shen Tian smiled.

Rose immediately narrowed her eyes.

"Don’t."

"What?"

"Make that face."

"You grabbed me."

"And?"

He squeezed her hand.

Her cheeks warmed.

"Nothing."

Gu Qingya noticed.

Her eyes dropped toward their hands.

Then...

Immediately looked away.

Tang Meilin noticed Gu Qingya noticing.

Then...

She smiled.

Gu Qingya caught her.

"Don’t."

Tang Meilin looked innocent.

"I didn’t say anything."

Gu Qingya sighed.

Lin Yue leaned toward Shen Tian.

"What company is Qin Hao analyzing?"

Shen Tian looked toward the screen displaying basic information.

"Qin Biopharmaceutical."

Lin Yue’s expression changed.

"I know them."

Shen Tian looked toward her.

"Good?"

"Mixed."

She became focused immediately.

"Their regenerative medicine division is excellent."

"But their supplement branch has terrible research controls."

Gu Qingya nodded.

"Financially the supplement arm is their strongest margin."

Lin Yue looked toward her.

"Because they sell nonsense."

Gu Qingya smiled.

"I didn’t say it was ethical."
