Chapter 109 She Was the One

Zhang Yuanqing regretted asking the question as soon as he finished. Logically speaking, he couldn't have met Diana.

She was the minister of the Goddess Association and probably older than him. He had lived in Songhai his whole life, and only become a Lingjing Xingzhe half a year ago. Before that, he was just an ordinary college student.

They didn't belong to the same world, like two parallel lines that would never intersect.

But Zhang Yuanqing just felt a sense of familiarity, yet couldn't remember where he had seen her.

Diana smiled and said, "If you had met me, you couldn't possibly forget me."

Zhang Yuanqing was speechless. A stunning beauty of this caliber, once seen, would probably be more unforgettable than one's first love.

"Maybe... I'm mistaken." Zhang Yuanqing smiled, looked at the chairman, and said, "Can you sell me a teleportation item?"

"I don't have teleportation items. I have a few teleportation consumables," the chairman shrugged.

"Just like the jade stone you gave Annie. Give me one of those," Zhang Yuanqing said.

His real purpose was actually to leave a "purchase record," so that if the Five Elements Alliance headquarters really investigated the origin of the teleportation jade charm in the future, today's purchase record would be the best cover.

Of course, the elusive merchant chairman was unlikely to be found by the headquarters. If it hadn't been for the Dionysus Club incident, the Five Elements Alliance would never have been able to contact this chairman.

As for the teleportation item itself, reusable teleportation items were rare and exorbitantly expensive. He already had the teleportation jade box, which could steadily produce a teleportation jade stone every month, so there was no need to waste money buying another one.

The silver-masked chairman opened his palm, and a black jade stone appeared. He tossed it gently and said, "Three hundred thousand federal coins."

Zhang Yuanqing caught the jade stone, stored it in his inventory, and took out Little Red Riding Hood, collecting the neat stacks of light green banknotes in the corner, leaving thirty stacks.

The merchant chairman raised his hand and snapped his fingers, "Banish!"

Annie and Zhang Yuanqing disappeared from the private room at the same time.

Diana tilted her head, smiling as she looked at the chairman beside her. "He seems to have recognized me."

The chairman suddenly snorted, as if recalling something unpleasant.

Back at the small apartment villa, Zhang Yuanqing looked at Annie and smiled. "Are you disappointed?"

Annie smiled wryly, "A little..." Zhang Yuanqing stroked his chin and said, "According to the style of you lust professionals, even if I didn't agree to you using charm on me, I wouldn't be able to resist if you really used it. Annie, Minister Diana said that you are still very clean, which means that you are not the same as the Demon Lord's lover, and you don't want to serve people with your beauty."

Annie was silent for a moment, then suddenly blinked playfully and smiled. "Are you disappointed?"

Zhang Yuanqing nodded, "A little."

Annie couldn't help but laugh, leaned over, and whispered, "Mr. Origin, you do have a very strong attraction to me. But I don't want you to despise me because of my profession."

After saying that, she bowed slightly. "I'll go back now."

Zhang Yuanqing watched her leave, then went straight upstairs back to his room.

"I must have seen her, I must have seen her..."

Zhang Yuanqing opened the bedside table, took out the blue pills, poured the whole bottle of pills into his palm, then lay on the bed and began to recall his father's face.

He successfully entered a state of mental boiling, with meaningless noise and broken images echoing like a revolving lantern.

Zhang Yuanqing's memory was like a video tape being played in reverse, pulling time back to yesterday, the day before, a week ago, a month ago... still constantly going back.

Such intensity of retrospection would have killed him from a brain explosion in the past, but now he was at the peak of the Saint stage, and his CPU had become incredibly powerful through repeated iterations.

One month, two months, three months, four months, five months, six months... Suddenly, two streams of blood shot out from Zhang Yuanqing's nostrils, and the picture was interrupted on the morning he received the character card sent by the soldier.

The soul-tearing pain attacked, and Zhang Yuanqing quickly took the entire bottle of blue pills, and tremblingly grabbed a tube of life essence from the inventory, injecting 20 milliliters.

"Huff... huff..."

He lay on the bed, drenched in sweat, and the excruciating pain slowly subsided amid heavy breathing.

"Can only go back six months, is that the limit... Hmm, I haven't seen her. In the six months since I became a Lingjing Xingzhe, I haven't seen Diana. That is to say, if I really saw her, it must have been before I became a Lingjing Xingzhe."

"Hiss, this is strange. The superb beauty that the Yuanshi Tianzun hasn't seen, what virtue and ability does Zhang Yuanqing have? Could it be that I really misremembered?"

"This retrospection has made me remember many details that I overlooked in the past. Damn it, the Chunyang sect leader knows that I have the power of Human Immortal, and he and Dark Night Rose flirt with each other. Does Ling Tuo know that my Taiyin Fragment is on me..."

"No, if that's the case, I would have been finished long ago. The fact that I can live to this day shows that the Chunyang sect leader has concealed the power of Human Immortal. He wants to take the treasures on me for himself. He will definitely try to kill me..."

"I know who the mysterious person who invested in the Demon Lord is. It's the chairman... The Demon Lord later hooked up with the Goddess Association, which was probably also facilitated by him. Now he wants to connect me with the Goddess Association..."

He recalled many, many details, those details that he had forgotten, and discovered the problems of many people.

Zhang Yuanqing lay on the bed, staring blankly for a long time.

When the sweat on his body dried, he sighed and got up, buried those guesses and discoveries deep in his heart, and went to the room next door.

Entering the study, he saw Fu Qingyang and told him about the meeting just now, omitting some less important details, such as: the Goddess Association asked him to sleep with Annie, and asked him to visit the Goddess Association headquarters next year.

Fu Qingyang's handsome face had no expression. "It's fine if the Goddess Association pays you. As for what channel they got the list from, it doesn't matter. The headquarters just sent me an email, asking me to escort Hades to Beijing tomorrow. So tonight at nine o'clock, prepare yourself. There's a meeting that you need to attend."

Looking at this handsome face, Zhang Yuanqing sighed again. If he had to find someone who was truly sincere to him, and had never deceived him, it was actually Fu Qingyang...

"What happened to you?"

"Ah? Nothing..."

"But the expression on your face is as if your girlfriend ran away with your good brother, and also took your money, and then you found out that your parents are not your biological parents, and also borrowed high-interest loans that you can't pay off in your name," Fu Qingyang said.

Is it that bad... Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself.

"But even if the whole world betrays me, I believe that you, boss, are sincere." Zhang Yuanqing's rhetoric had become almost perfect.

Fu Qingyang smiled, then skipped this topic, and said, "Tianfa wants to redeem those items, and the headquarters also wants to ask you how you plan to sell Hades. You can try to ask for some things that you usually want, but can't get."

Zhang Yuanqing pondered, "Rule-type items?"

"Why not?" The smile on Fu Qingyang's lips deepened.

Zhang Yuanqing's heart suddenly burned with passion. The depression of his girlfriend running away with his brother and taking his money, and his parents not being his biological parents and borrowing high-interest loans in his name all vanished.

He pleasantly took out the black jade stone that the merchant chairman had sold him, and offered it with both hands, "Boss, I remember you don't seem to have a teleportation item. I specially asked the chairman for it. That old man wouldn't sell it no matter what. I begged for a long time."

Zhang Yuanqing lowered his head, offering it high.

--Mainly because he was afraid that Fu Qingyang would see through his lie.

Fu Qingyang was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting him to care about such a "small matter". He was silent for a moment, then said lightly, "You have too many worries. I won't pry into the details, but you can always trust me."

Please don't let Guan Ya hear you say that... Zhang Yuanqing muttered bitterly, "Thank you, boss."

Free Federation.

In the banquet hall of a manor, Chen Shu, wearing a light-colored纱裙, finished socializing with a business partner, holding a wine glass, and turned her head to look at the sofa area.

There, a beautiful woman was surrounded by a crowd. Her dress was conservative and elegant, revealing her round eyes. Her skin and complexion were no worse than the young girls at the banquet.

"Yuanshi Tianzun is my daughter's boyfriend. I'm planning to hold a wedding for the two of them next year..."

"He himself also yearns for Tianfa, yearns for the Federation. It's just that Osmon is too sharp, making my son-in-law unhappy."

"I don't know where his limit is. He is a creator of miracles... Yes, he is an incredibly arrogant person, but he is only respectful to me. My daughter often worries because I am too charming. Ha, this makes me very distressed."

Fu Xue had an elegant smile on her face, chatting and laughing with friends gathered around her.

This was a private banquet, hosted by a second-level silver prosecutor of Tianfa, corresponding to a level 5 Saint. The guests attending the banquet were also not simple, either children of Lingjing families, or members of major orderly organizations, or members of pro-government non-governmental organizations.

There were also celebrities like Chen Shu who had mixed into the world of Lingjing Xingzhe.

Fu Xue rightfully became the focus of the banquet because she claimed to be Yuanshi Tianzun's mother-in-law.

Chen Shu held a breath in her heart, on the one hand, she was unhappy that Fu Xue was showing off with her son, on the other hand, she felt that Fu Xue had stolen something that belonged to her.

A mere mother-in-law was making a big show of it, while she, the biological mother, had to hide her name.

At this time, the host of the banquet, Ivan Charles, walked towards Fu Xue with a glass of red wine, and smiled, "Xue, Will told me that you value Yuanshi Tianzun more, so you refused to marry the Miller family. Your vision is very accurate, but Will doesn't seem very happy."

Fu Xue smiled elegantly, "His feelings are not within my consideration."

Charles skipped this topic, and asked curiously, "Xue, is Yuanshi Tianzun really obedient to you?"

"Of course!" Fu Xue raised her pointed chin. "Does he yearn for Tianfa?"

"Yearns for the free air here." Chen Shu, not far away, twitched at the corner of her mouth.

Charles said happily, "That's great. It's like this, Will and I plan to donate 8 million federal coins to Yuanshi Tianzun in our personal names. I hope you can help contact him."

Krypton gold ability is a traditional skill of Tianfa. In Tianfa's financial budget, there is a special fund to donate to orderly professional elites from all over the world.

"Of course!" Fu Xue smiled, "I will convey Tianfa's kindness."

Just convey! She thought to herself.

Charles smiled, "We will also give you a thank you fee."

The two happily clinked glasses.

At the end of the banquet, Fu Xue, surrounded by bodyguards, twisted her waist charmingly and walked towards her car.

She saw Chen Shu leaning against the hood of the car from a distance, holding a lady's cigarette between her fingers, waiting expressionlessly.

Fu Xue waved her hand and let the bodyguards retreat, and went forward alone, and smiled proudly: "What can't be said at the banquet?"

Chen Shu sneered: "I know what it means to be arrogant with power."

Fu Xue giggled, "I know what it means for jealousy to make people ugly. Chen Shu, are you jealous? Alas, this is probably my fate. Last year I asked a fortune teller in the mainland to tell me my fortune. He said that I would be successful after the age of forty-five, it's so accurate. It's useless for you to be jealous. I remember you have a son in the mainland, right? It's a pity you don't have a daughter."

Chen Shu narrowed her eyes, and smiled ironically: "Yes, I have an unfilial son, who can't compare to your son-in-law. I won't talk nonsense with you. I also want to fund Yuanshi Tianzun, can you help me get in touch?"

Fu Xue agreed readily.

"Tianfa wants to fund me?"

Zhang Yuanqing frowned as he looked at the information sent by his mother-in-law.

They are giving a lot of money. If I accept it, wouldn't I become a walking 8 million? Will Tianfa force me to post information slandering the Five Elements Alliance in the future.

Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help but complain in his heart.

He typed information and replied: "No consideration!"

Am I the kind of person who would betray the organization for eight million? Unless they add a zero.

[Fu Xue: Don't rush to refuse, has Fu Qingyang told you that maintaining close relationships with foreign forces and maintaining a community of interests is conducive to consolidating your position in the Five Elements Alliance.]

[Yuanshi Tianzun: What do you mean?]

[Fu Xue: You are a smart person, think about it, if you have a strong vested interest with Tianfa, such as you providing Tianfa with mechanical weapons, and you providing convenience for the capital behind Tianfa to make money in the Five Elements Alliance in the future, if the headquarters wants to deal with you, will Tianfa watch?]

[Yuanshi Tianzun: If I have a strong vested interest with Tianfa, the Five Elements Alliance will not let me be in a high position.]

[Fu Xue: My silly son, do you think the council of elders within the Five Elements Alliance had a close relationship with Tianfa in the past few years? Do you think the ten elders of the headquarters have no partners within Tianfa? Without friends outside, once you fail in the internal struggle, you won't even have a chance to make a comeback. Your enemies will wipe out everything about you effortlessly.]

[Yuanshi Tianzun: Then what kind of organization is the Jishi Society?]

[Fu Xue: A foreign non-governmental organization with great influence and members in all walks of life. Although it cannot be compared with official organizations such as Tianfa, Poseidon Church, and Goddess Association, it is one of the top non-governmental organizations.]

Zhang Yuanqing said in his heart, mother-in-law, you have no brains. You are recommending a mixed-brand force of unknown quality to me. You are a pig teammate like Li Gang's son.

[Yuanshi Tianzun: I'll consider it.]

He closed the chat software. In the evening, Fu Qingyang's study.

Zhang Yuanqing sat behind the desk that belonged to Qian Gongzi, with his back straight and waiting expectantly.

Fu Qingyang said that the chips he had in his hand were enough to exchange for a rule-type item, but Tianfa would never hand it over willingly, and there would be a lot of wrangling at the meeting.

As long as he could withstand the pressure, he would be able to make a fortune.

Tonight's online meeting was a 3D projection meeting, and only elders were equipped with this high-precision equipment, so Fu Qingyang gave the study to his confidant subordinate, and he went to the small study in the master bedroom.

Qian Gongzi was a particular young nobleman, and didn't like others entering his boudoir, even if that person was Zhang Yuanqing.

When the time reached nine o'clock, the three projectors on the ceiling "beeped", the yellow light flashed, the host in the center emitted infrared rays to scan Zhang Yuanqing, and then the metal probes of the three projectors stretched out, emitting a strong and bright blue beam of light.

The three beams of light converged, projecting a large conference table in the center of the study.

Zhang Yuanqing glanced at it and saw Elder Miao, Secretary Zhou (Secretary of Elder Cai), Secretary Li (Secretary of Grand Elder Dihong), the demon hunter of Tianfa, three of his defeated opponents, and Fu Qingyang sitting at the table.

Osmon, Hoover, and Shazoo looked over at the same time, the former two's expressions were slightly sunken, and their eyes contained hostility and anger.

Shazoo was expressionless.

Even the most upright knight would still be angry when beaten, so Shazoo chose to ignore Yuanshi Tianzun.

"Yo, my defeated opponents, we meet again." Zhang Yuanqing greeted cheerfully, as if everyone were good friends.
