Tang Fei smoothly entered the room. Mr. Sheng was sitting on a yoga mat on the living room floor, practicing Hatha Yoga while facing the deep and mysterious Luoxia Lake.

The voluptuous body outlined by the gray tight yoga clothes appeared curvaceous, with elegant curves. Long beautiful legs, a slender waistline, and her snow-white arms reaching forward with effort.

Her waist was like solidified cream, her hips like a full moon.

She was a well-ripened woman; everywhere one looked was full and juicy.

Tang Fei couldn't help but take a few more glances, then he jokingly said with a laugh, "It's said that the more beautiful a woman, the more strict she is about her appearance and figure. Diet, skincare, and exercise are indispensable."

"As a result, beauties become more beautiful, while most of the less attractive ones choose to lie flat."

"Which category do I belong to?" Sheng Xinhuai's forehead and body were covered in sweat beads, with sweat flowing down her smooth skin, exuding a dynamic beauty and extreme allure.

"Isn't Mr. Sheng asking knowingly? Who doesn't know you're the beautiful professor of the Imperial First Military Academy?"

Sheng Xinhuai had a smile on her lips, yet she self-deprecatingly said, "I'm so beautiful, why didn't I make it onto the so-called March Seven Stars list?"

"A list put together by children when playing house, it's not suitable for Mr. Sheng." Tang Fei laughed and explained, "If there were a female intellectual ranking or a female charm list... Mr. Sheng would surely be on it."

"If you say so... won't Phoenix be upset if she finds out?"

"How would she know?" Tang Fei replied earnestly, "Even if you told her, I wouldn't admit I said such things."

"Coward."

"It's not cowardice, it's respect for my girlfriend," Tang Fei retorted.

"Alright, alright, I know Phoenix is most important in your heart." Sheng Xinhuai concluded with a graceful and composed movement, pulled a towel to wipe the sweat off her face, and looked at Tang Fei, saying, "Why did you come so quickly?"

"When Mr. Sheng summons, of course, I hurried over immediately."

After the exercise, Sheng Xinhuai's bright face had a rosy hue, looking fresh and dewy, with a faint steam still rising from her forehead.

"Aren't you going to ask how my matchmaking went?" Sheng Xinhuai glanced at Tang Fei and spoke.

"Busy praising Mr. Sheng's beauty, haven't had the chance to ask yet?"

Tang Fei's gaze shifted away from Sheng Xinhuai's ample bosom. This woman was wearing a short, fitted sports T-shirt, with most of her abdomen exposed to the air.

Her rounded navel was like a vermilion sand mole, the only blooming lotus in the pond, making every onlooker's heart ripple with boundless waves.

That already towering bosom appeared even more majestic and grand, making it impossible for Tang Fei to converse with her face to face.

"Finished praising yet?"

"Almost."

"Then you can ask now."

Tang Fei chuckled helplessly and said, "How did Mr. Sheng's matchmaking go? Did you find your ideal match?"

"No." Sheng Xinhuai answered straightforwardly.

"Why? They say the young people of the Shen Family are all exceptional... Mr. Sheng wasn't impressed?"

"I must say, Shen Lewen is indeed quite good-looking, and he has a very nice physique..." She gave Tang Fei a deliberately flirtatious glance and said, "Seems to be much better than you. And also..."

"And what?"

"As long as I nod, a position is vacant for the State Mother."

"State Mother?" Tang Fei's gaze tightened, instantly probing infinite possibilities from this sentence: "Does Shen Lewen want to become Emperor? Or is it that Shen Jianping's faction wants to seize power?"

Sheng Xinhuai was very satisfied with Tang Fei's reaction. This guy, after all those years on the old land, was extremely sharp about these intrigues and power struggles, understanding them instantly.

Truly living up to the saying 'Dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, and the children of mice know how to burrow.' How could the son of the Imperial Grand Marshal be ordinary?

"Perhaps." Sheng Xinhuai nodded, speaking out, "Shen Jianping brought Shen Lewen to visit the house, ostensibly for matchmaking, but in reality, trying to ally with my father."

"Of course, if the matchmaking succeeds, so much the better. A familial alliance, inherently allies."

"That Shen Jianping can conceive such a thought proves that something has indeed gone wrong with Shen Xinglan... If he weren't in trouble, they wouldn't dare take such actions even with ten times their courage."

"Shen Lewen said the same thing. I asked him why he was so confident, and he said if Shen Xinglan was healthy and untroubled, they naturally wouldn't dare to vie for anything. Because everyone knows that position is meant for Shen Xinglan."

"But, Shen Xinglan was severely injured, hiding away on Luojia Mountain for a long time to recover, and not even the core figures of their family know his exact condition."

"With Shen Xinglan cloistered away, the other families began to plot... Seeing others take action, they naturally were reluctant to fall behind..."

"What exactly happened to Shen Xinglan? What occurred with him?"

Sheng Xinhuai looked at Tang Fei, hesitated slightly, but ultimately decided to truthfully share the information she had gathered, "Shen Xinglan was injured by Lu Yu... It's said that Lu Yu, in order to kill Shen Xinglan, detonated the biological bomb hidden within his body..."

"..."

Tang Fei's heart immediately began to throb painfully, feeling like it was being twisted by a knife.

This outcome was originally within his speculation, yet, upon the confirmation of the news, he still found it hard to accept, even his breathing became rapid.

The old man made such a choice for him, knowing that Shen Xinglan was his lifelong enemy, so he would rather sacrifice himself to drag Shen Xinglan into hell.
