Chapter 732

She gave the resources to Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chu.

Xu Jingming also entered the virtual world to send a message to his aunt Xu Qingwan's family, inviting them to have dinner together in the virtual world that evening.

After their recent interaction, Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chu were no longer so restrained in front of Ling Shuang.

After exiting the virtual world, Xu Jingming told the two girls to stay at the villa and asked Ling Shuang to organize these resources.

Plan how to use them optimally to maximize strength enhancement.

As for himself, he left the villa, preparing to visit Teacher Yang Zhentian to discuss the creative ideas behind the SSS-grade body cultivation technique.

Jiangnan Province, Jiangcheng, Jinghu Community.

Aunt Xu Qingwan still lived in this community.

But due to the rapid business growth over the past few months, they had moved into a more upscale villa.

Its area was three times larger than before, with an outdoor swimming pool and an additional backyard garden.

Because the space was so large, they even had to hire an extra housekeeper for cleaning.

"Xiao Ming is thoughtful—he came back just to invite us for dinner."

In the villa's living room, Aunt Xu Qingwan smiled faintly after hanging up the phone.

"Isn't Xiao Ming already a sixth-rank adept now?"

"If we hadn't watched him grow up since childhood, we'd probably feel awkward even meeting him in the virtual world."

Uncle Tang Daolin remarked.

"Who can deny it?"

Aunt Xu Qingwan's expression turned nostalgic. "When Xiao Ming was twelve and lost both parents, none of his relatives wanted to help."

"I thought I'd lend a hand—just enough to see him through university until he could find a stable job."

"But I never expected Xiao Ming would soar so high—he's already a sixth-rank adept now."

A sixth-rank adept was an unattainable figure in their Jiangcheng.

Their expectations for their daughter Tang Qi were merely to reach the fourth rank someday.

"Ding ling ling—"

The phone rang suddenly, interrupting their memories.

"It's Zhao Lu calling."

Tang Daolin glanced at the caller ID and handed the phone to Xu Qingwan.

"General Manager, something terrible has happened!"

As soon as she answered, Zhao Lu's anxious voice rang out from the other end:

"For some reason, several of our rare herb and exotic plant suppliers have demanded to terminate our contracts!"

"Hm?"

Xu Qingwan's expression changed slightly. "Aren't there breach penalties? Why would they choose to break the contract?"

"They say they're willing to pay the breach penalty and stop supplying rare herbs and exotic plants."

Zhao Lu's voice sounded like she was about to cry. "On the client side, several who had agreed to delay delivery are now pressing for immediate shipment."

Hearing this, Xu Qingwan's heart sank.

Trouble!

Their stock of rare herbs and exotic plants was already low—without suppliers, they had no capacity to fulfill orders!

If they couldn't deliver on time, they'd have to pay massive breach penalties.

"Alright, I understand. We'll handle this."

After taking a deep breath, Xu Qingwan regained her composure.

"Suppliers terminating contracts while clients demand delivery—that's clearly someone targeting us."

After Xu Qingwan hung up, Tang Daolin said grimly, "We're having dinner with Xiao Ming tonight—should we tell him about this?"

"No."

Xu Qingwan shook her head. "Xiao Ming's cultivation is the priority. We shouldn't burden him with trivial matters."

"Let's first try to find other suppliers."

Her gaze swept over the luxurious villa interior as she smiled faintly:

"Even if we can't find new suppliers, it's just paying breach penalties and returning to our old standard of living."

More importantly, her clients were all guilds and military units backed by seventh-rank Masters, even eighth-rank Grand Masters.

For these clients to cooperate in targeting them, the culprit must be someone of immense influence.

Even if she told Xiao Ming, he couldn't solve it—only add to his worries...

Xu Jingming naturally knew nothing of what was happening with his aunt—he had already arrived at Teacher Yang Zhentian's villa.

Having reached the eighth rank and become vice principal, Yang Zhentian no longer served as dean of the Weaponry Academy.

He had no regular classes; when Xu Jingming entered the villa under the guidance of the butler Fu Bo, Yang Zhentian was leisurely sipping tea in the living room.

"Teacher, I'm back."

Xu Jingming grinned and called out.

"I just received word that you and Principal Ling returned—didn't expect you'd come here so soon."

Yang Zhentian sprang up from the sofa in an instant.

He circled Xu Jingming, examining him thoroughly.

Then he clapped Xu Jingming's shoulder firmly, pulled him onto the sofa, and smiled with satisfaction:

"Good, good, good—you're a seventh-rank Master with combat power reaching mid-eighth rank!"

"Jingming, you're growing stronger—your combat power is already fiercer than your teacher's!"

After the sixth rank, adepts could not easily sense each other's levels unless they deliberately revealed their aura.

Though Yang Zhentian couldn't discern Xu Jingming's exact rank, the faint but dangerous aura emanating from him confirmed the rumors were true.

"Teacher, you already know?" Xu Jingming was surprised.

The Thunder Martial Arts Gymnasium meeting had ended only hours ago—the news shouldn't have spread yet.

"I didn't know until several friends sent me messages.

I thought they were joking—until I saw you, I realized the rumors were real."

Yang Zhentian chuckled.

He paused, then asked curiously: "The rumors also said you and Principal Ling have an unusually close relationship—is that true too?"

Xu Jingming didn't deny it—he nodded with a smile.

"It's really true?"

Yang Zhentian's eyes widened; after a long moment, he shook his head in amazement:

"After your first battle with Lei Yu,

your senior Liu Ming told me that many female students at Magic University would fall for you.

Now it seems not only students—you've even caught the female principal."

"But that's fine—SS-grade and S-grade combining—I'm already curious about the offspring you two might produce."

After his astonishment, Yang Zhentian didn't dwell on it, laughing heartily:

"So, what brings you here?

Let me warn you—you're stronger than I am now.

Problems you face, I might not be able to solve."

"How could that be? In my eyes, Teacher Yang has always been omnipotent."

Xu Jingming flattered him, then pulled out the Divine Blood Secret Technique from his space ring:

"I want to use this Divine Blood Secret Technique

to create a new SSS-grade body cultivation technique based on the original SS-grade 'Divine Thunder Indestructible Body'—I'd like your guidance, Teacher Yang."

"Who?"

Yang Zhentian blinked, pointing at himself: "Me?"
