Of course, the more important reason is meeting Meng Ya, the feeling of cultivation is great.

Lin Qingshuang had long recognized this chubby kid and thought to herself, so we have met before, and she stepped forward to talk. To her surprise, the chubby one remembered her... it seems like a destined encounter.

Lin Qingshuang smiled and asked, "Are you practicing the Observing Body Skill? I've been watching for several days, and you've practiced several auxiliary techniques of the Observing Body Sect."

Meng Ya was shocked, "Do you also know the Observing Body Skill?"

Xiaopang reacted even quicker, taking a step forward and saying, "Sister, could it be that you are a senior expert from the Observing Body Sect?"

Lin Qingshuang nodded modestly, "I've been watching you for several days. You probably got the Observing Body Skill by chance, but practicing on your own without guidance isn't effective, so I decided to speak up..."

With such a serendipitous encounter, Meng Ya and Xiaopang wouldn't let it slip, so they immediately sought advice on many questions. Once it came to the cultivation of techniques, Lin Qingshuang became quite strict, pointing out many mistakes seriously, almost making Meng Ya cry.

But Xiaopang was thick-skinned and kept smiling through the reprimands because it was indeed a good thing.

Lin Qingshuang didn't tell them much more about herself, only mentioned that her surname was Lin, and she wasn't a local but conducted business often enough to stay nearby in Qi Yuan.

Since they practiced here daily, she'd come by when she had time, offering guidance whenever they met.

That day, Xiaopang found He Kao, excitedly talking about two matters.

The first was about Meng Ya. It turned out that the kind lady he'd met had quite an extraordinary background as the new controller of Jinxing Media.

The whereabouts of Boss Peng of Jinxing Media were unknown, rumored to have run off with a rich widow's money. Meng Ya, the second-largest shareholder and currently the sole executing shareholder of Jinxing Media, stepped up to take over the company.

132,

Meng Ya retained the original general manager to handle company operations but reorganized the board and appointed herself a director, all while keeping a low profile at the company to learn.

Jinxing Media is a large company with nearly a million in annual revenue and over forty employees. Xiaopang initially had no idea that Meng Ya was hiding a domineering female CEO persona all along!

He Kao was stunned, questioning the size of the company. Well, not small! As for the so-called "female tyrant CEO," Meng Ya, she was nearly broke recently, using the 20,000 yuan that He Kao lent her to get by.

It was He Kao's suggestion to take over Jinxing Media as a shareholder, with the operational help from Yao Shaolan.

Yao Shaolan had been temporarily reassigned by the Ancestral Hall to Huiming and Nanhua, which made He Kao worry about delays in Meng Ya's matters. Now it seems things have been set on the right track.

Even if Yao Shaolan wasn't available, Old Qian and others at the firm would help oversee things.

The second thing Xiaopang mentioned was the morning's serendipity. He encountered Sister Lin again, who turned out to be an expert in the Observing Body Skill!

Xiaopang had long suspected her to be a formidable figure, and now it was confirmed.

He Kao realized it was Lin Qingshuang and struggled to hold back his laughter, then reminded Huang Xiaopang to cherish the opportunity and maintain a good impression on the senior.

Xiaopang promised to share good fortune with his friend and said that when he became well-acquainted with the senior and mastered his skills, he would introduce her to He Kao.

He Kao expressed his gratitude and told Xiaopang not to rush such matters.

Experts often have unfathomable temperaments; it was lucky they were willing to guide Xiaopang and Meng Ya. It was best not to complicate things and cause offense.

Xiaopang nodded repeatedly as Lin Qingshuang had given the same advice that morning.

Sister Lin advised not to spread the details of her guidance and the secret techniques.

Xiaopang, in his excitement, had already let some things slip in front of He Kao. To bring someone over without permission would clearly show he wasn't listening, so this must be handled slowly...

That day wasn't just an adventure for Xiaopang.

Yang Lingxi went to her company to handle her resignation. To avoid being fired for unexcused absence, she wisely chose to resign during the probation period.

President Qian had already paved the way, so the procedures were smooth without any complications or options to stay. Her department head wanted her to stay, but it was unworkable.

After completing the procedures, Yang Lingxi returned to the villa, packed with her mother, and left with confusion and unease. Where would they go? Chen Yuhua seemed to only have the option to return to work at Kangran Group, and Yang Lingxi could look for new employment in Nanhua.

They dared not continue living in the Pearl Garden house. First, they'd move.

Chen Yuhua, being an HR supervisor at Kangran Group, would find it easy to hire her daughter there as well.

Yan Congfei had initially promised Yang Lingxi two things: an opportunity to join a Magic Sect and a high-paying position at Kangran Group.

With Yan Congfei no longer around, should she still go to Kangran Group? There was no necessity; Nanhua was an even larger first-tier city than Qi Yuan, filled with opportunities, and Yang Lingxi could surely find a different job.

However, heard that Kangran Group had been taken over by the Ancestral Hall, perhaps offering an opportunity to meet sorcerers and join a Magic Sect.

She stepped out in her mixed feelings of anxiety and anticipation, only to encounter someone head-on.

A middle-aged man, difficult to determine his age—could be in his thirties, forties, or even fifties—looked spirited, though frown lines marked his forehead, and a few silver strands were hidden among thick black hair.

On such a cold day, he wore only a dark blue, buttoned shirt underneath a khaki trench coat.

Upon first sighting the man from afar, he seemed to step just a few strides before arriving right in front of her, asking, "Are you Yang Lingxi?"

Yang Lingxi shivered in fright, instinctively stepping back, but her mother's grip on her arm steadied her. Chen Yuhua was clearly fearful too, clutching her daughter's arm tightly.

The man spoke again, "No need to fear; my surname is Yu, given name Shangzhen, a Tier Five Jianghu person from the Heart Plate Sect. I've come to ask if you'd like to take me as your mentor and learn the Heart Plate Skill?

I know the chance you're seeking, and I'm offering it to you!"

Yang Lingxi was stunned, never expecting such an encounter, her lips quivering as she struggled to voice her thoughts. After a while, she managed to ask, "Why?"

Yu Shangzhen responded, "I've heard about your situation—and unknowingly embroiled in great danger yet made decisively wise choices at every turn under your understanding.

Even as the Huiming Shi Family has become uprooted, you and your mother have managed to remain safe, which wasn't easy.

You promptly returned from the airport to Qi Yuan to find the only route you knew and contacted the only sorcerer you were familiar with, Qian Guran, providing testimony to the Ancestral Hall, rendering great service to the Magic Sect, which counts as karma.

I only ask, do you wish or not wish this? If you do, accept me as your mentor; if not, pretend I've never been here."**
