The fourth elder blushed slightly, quickly took the medicine, and apologized with a bashful smile, "Sorry to have misunderstood your kindness. I must admit, I've been given this medicine so many times by Liu Yun—she's been quite persistent—but I haven't noticed any noticeable effects so far!" Of course, consuming beef tendon and deer blood counts only as dietary supplementation. Even if it were medicinal supplementation, such results wouldn't appear overnight. However, Mr. Qin's medicine is no ordinary one—it's truly a powerful, potent formulation, crafted from sixteen premium, highly energetic, and profoundly yang herbs. The girls themselves are unaware of this. In fact, Mr. Qin has never personally tried it, since he himself doesn't need it. Thus, not only does the fourth elder now enjoy a significant advantage, but he's also remarkably fortunate to be one of the first test subjects. Mr. Qin, while familiar with the sixteen herbs, didn't forget to add, "Don't take too much at once—your level is still quite low, so consuming excessive amounts might lead to complications!" "Got it," the fourth nodded, bowing deeply. "Also, once things are settled, I won't shortchange you." He then presented a blank check. The fourth was overjoyed. In just a few months, he had transformed himself into a true master—there must be some secret to it. If he could learn even a few techniques from him, he was certain he'd benefit immensely. "Understood, sir. You can rest assured—I'll make sure Liu Yun dies. She'll die on her bed, which is already a blessing." The fourth spoke with unwavering determination. "Very well. Go now, as if you'd never seen me. When you return to the capital, you'll know exactly what to do!" "Understood. I'll notify you before I take any action!" Qin Feng rode off on his flying sword. In fact, he hadn't expected this at all—under his original plan, the fourth was absolutely to be dismissed. After all, if the man was willing to help eliminate Liu Yun, why not keep him? As Old Fourth himself said, Liu Yun died at Liu Su's hands, allowing Liu Su to ascend smoothly and secure her position without fear of future rebellions from the lay followers citing her death as grounds for protest. Whether Liu Su or Qin Feng took the decisive action, the responsibility would ultimately be attributed to Liu Su, making it a lingering concern. Liu Yun's final death at the hands of her paramour proved to be a win-win situation. According to the schedule, Old Fourth should arrive in the capital within one day, so Liu Su decided to go directly and await his move. That afternoon, Liu Su sat in her spacious office, exhausted from the weeks of constant activity—originally, the effort of placing people in key positions had been so demanding. Fortunately, during this entire process, Aunt Liu Yun had shown no resistance; should she have intervened, the situation would certainly have become far more complicated. Yet Liu Yun's lack of action left her feeling uncertain. Given her understanding of her aunt—someone deeply passionate about power—it seemed impossible that she would simply watch her own power being divided up. But the reports coming from that side consistently indicated that Liu Yun had taken no initiative at all. If that were the case, then what was there to be polite about? After all, the Heaven-Reason Sect had always been the Liu family's. You could take it from my father; I can reclaim it from you. Huff. A breeze blew in, nearly sending several papers on the table to the floor. Her brows furrowed slightly as she murmured, "Stupid wind... Wait, I remember the windows were closed. Who opened them?" She turned to look at the window on the side and found it indeed open, a gap of about forty centimeters. Could it be that she had been so busy she'd simply forgotten to open the window? She stood up from her seat, still hadn't taken a step, and already her lazy voice rose: "Susu, I see you've been so busy—just make sure to take care of yourself!" Liu Su didn't need to turn around to know who was speaking; she simply shrugged and remarked, "There's no choice—these things have to be handled personally. Unlike you, Qin Da-Shao, who's always the hands-off type. You have countless assistants around you, but I don't!" Only then did she slowly turn around, and sure enough, Qin Feng was lounging on the sofa with his legs crossed, wearing his usual smug smile. "Heh, my good character can't hold a candle to that. Honestly, it's just Huihui and the others. If I handed any of these over to someone else, I'd still feel uneasy." He leapt up from the sofa, immediately wrapping his arms around the beautiful senior girl's waist, and smiled cheerfully, saying, "Su Su, you should start building your own team and delegate tasks to them. Otherwise, you'll surely end up working yourself to death." The beautiful senior girl raised her eyebrows, speaking with deep intention, "Like you?" "No way," Qin Shao firmly declined, saying, "I can certainly find a group of outstanding girls, but you can't find a group of outstanding men—after all, you're mine. Besides, you won't be able to find any anyway!" Liu Su gave him a graceful, withering glance, huffed, "I knew you'd say that—always so domineering. By the way, how come you have time to come to Beijing? Isn't everything busy on your end? Don't your sisters at home need your attention? I thought you'd completely forgotten about me already!" "Qin was slightly blushing, chuckling warmly, "How could it be otherwise? Though we recently carried out tasks assigned by the senior executives, the real beneficiaries were you. So calling it 'doing things for you' is absolutely accurate. Isn't that exactly what we've done—completed our mission and then immediately rushed over to see you!" The beautiful senior student's eyebrows formed a crescent moon, her bright eyes seeming to speak volumes, "Really? Your words are so persuasive that I often find myself doubting what you actually say!" "Rest assured, I won't deceive you," Qin said, lifting her into his arms and then sitting her back down on the sofa, with her now resting on his legs. "Besides being eager to see you, there's another important matter I'd like you to prepare for. If everything goes as planned, Liu Yun will soon be in serious trouble!" He then went on to give a detailed account of the process of winning over the fourth member. The senior student's brows furrowed and relaxed in turn, equally surprised that the fourth member would choose to defect. Within the Grand Master’s sanctuary, Second Brother and Fourth Brother hold the highest status; among the two, Fourth Brother enjoys greater favor with the Grand Master. One would expect such individuals to be utterly loyal to the Grand Master. "Rest assured, Fourth Brother—if he dares to deceive me, he’ll be dead before long, and he fully understands that," Qin Shao smiled. "Moreover, under his aunt’s relentless pressure, he’s already overwhelmed, which is why he’s chosen to collaborate with me." Ming Su chose to believe him and said, "Then we must be well-prepared. As soon as my aunt passes, I will immediately assume the position of Grand Master, leaving no room for others to react. Honestly, though, I truly don’t wish for her to pass—she is my only family." Qin Shao smiled gently and simply said two words: "Prudence!"
