?Mobile reading The nursery is located several dozen kilometers outside the city center, covering a total area of over 15,000 square meters, divided into six sunlit greenhouses. In the Baoqi Electronic Book greenhouse, temperature, air quality, and water supply are strictly controlled. The air and water undergo multi-layer filtration to minimize harmful substances. Qingya glanced down while saying, “It looks quite well done, but can you completely eliminate pollution?” “Of course not,” Qin Feng replied. “Air, soil, and water are everywhere—there’s simply no way to block them out. However, the current measures are already quite good, far surpassing those that claim to be organic or pollution-free.” The elegant inspector smiled and said, “So you’re a conscientious businessman—far from just making black-hearted profits!” Go on, brother! I’m not even making black-hearted profits! What does “not completely” mean? Qin, the young man, had to give up his protest as Qingya began to descend, and followed suit. The nursery's management system is extremely strict—outsiders have virtually no opportunity to approach, and even entry into the greenhouses requires passing through a sterilization room, donning special workwear, and then undergoing a second sterilization before being allowed inside. Neither of them encountered any unexpected obstruction; they were simply stopped by security personnel in uniform, who politely stated, "Sorry, this is a restricted area—no one is permitted to enter or leave." Qingya turned to Qin Feng, who shrugged and said, "Although I am the chairman of Qin Group, I've never been here before and don't have an entry permit. However, I can call someone right away!" The security guard couldn't help but glance at him again, thinking to himself: You're quite the showman—how about you don't claim to be the mayor? Instead, you're the chairman of Qin Group, with a beautiful woman by your side, and yet you still don't know your own worth. Qin made a brief phone call to Hou Bao. This nursery was established under Hou Bo's personal initiative, and the relevant regulations were also formulated by him. The intercom in the security room soon rang. Upon answering, the security staff immediately changed their tone, smiling warmly and saying, "Ah, it's Qin Director visiting! Please come in—right away, I'll notify the technical team to welcome you both!" "No need, we'll go in ourselves and just take a look," Qin waved. "Very well, Qin Director, please!" A few minutes later, the two entered the nursery. Under simulated sunlight, the young plants grew vigorously, and several plots of medicinal herbs were nearing maturity, their stems and leaves releasing a distinct fragrance. Qingya admired as she went on, "I never thought it—really, I never thought it—these premium herbs, which had nearly gone extinct even in such ideal conditions, are thriving so well in this polluted environment on Earth!" "Is this the result of careful cultivation, really? Does it have a direct connection with the environment?" Qin Shao couldn't help but counter, for who else could be so good at erasing others' achievements? "Alright, alright, you're quite impressive—fine, I'll concede." The beautiful inspector smiled. "By the way, these young seedlings seem to be growing quite rapidly. Isn't it possible you've been using chemical fertilizers?" "Seriously?" Qin Shao replied with good grace. "Wouldn't it be ridiculous to apply chemical fertilizer to such excellent medicinal herbs? The resulting plants would then be useless. Besides, these varieties are quite spirited—any dirty water would make them wilt, let alone chemical fertilizer!" "Haha, I was just teasing you." Qingya's gaze began to wander. Well, she must be about to make some unreasonable request, otherwise why wouldn't she meet his eyes directly? Indeed, the beautiful inspector blushed slightly and said, "Qin Feng, could you possibly send me some of these young seedlings? I simply enjoy tending to flowers and plants." "Wait a minute—how is tending to flowers and cultivating herbs even remotely related to me? You really have to be kidding!" He said with a displeased expression, "If I don't give in, won't you keep threatening to beat me until I agree?" "Of course not—I'm not that kind of person," Qingya blinked her large eyes, radiating a cute, unbothered expression. "You are," Qin Shao nodded with no small amount of dignity, "How many times have I been threatened like this? Several times now, actually. You're not even paying attention to this one. Come on!" The young monitor's face darkened as she huffed, "Don't push me—I'm truly sincere in my request. If you make me angry, you'll regret it!" "Heh—he's right," Qin Shao said, waving his hand gracefully and pointing at the young seedlings before him. "How much would you like? Take as much as you want—just don't damage them. Deal?" "Never mind—how could I possibly cause any trouble? I'm the Inspector of Governance, aren't I? My very job is to oversee those who are untrustworthy or who cause disruptions." She declared with conviction. … The Xiao Yao Sect remained utterly still. Dozens of disciples and junior scholars of varying ranks stood on the plaza, near the main hall and deputy hall—both of which had been damaged and had not yet been repaired. The abbot had passed away, and only one of the five senior masters who had accompanied him had returned, even suffering serious injuries. Now, they found themselves leaderless. Most distressing of all was the fact that, though they knew precisely who their enemies were, they could not go to seek vengeance. This sentiment—often merely an excuse—was more than just a temporary stance; even without the presence of the Inspector General, would they dare approach Qin Feng? Who would they face? The injured master opened his eyes and saw on the faces of everyone around him a profound sense of disappointment. "It seems," he sighed, "we'll have to bring out the Elder Ancestor to take charge." "The Elder Ancestor?" The group exchanged glances. We do have an Elder Ancestor, right? Who exactly is he? He sighed and continued, "Our ancestor is the direct disciple of the founding master of the XIAOYAO school. She entered the Yuan Sheng stage three centuries ago and has since been in seclusion, diligently cultivating. Among you, the eldest is no older than a hundred and eighty or so. It's quite natural that you don't know about her. Three centuries have passed—her strength must now be unimaginable. If she were willing to step in and advocate for us, then the Inspector of Supervision would be nothing but a mere figure."
