On the other side.

The head of the Nie family was having a chat with the head of the Bai family.

The head of the Nie family was a capable old man. When he got agitated, the veins on his neck would pop out slightly, and his entire face would turn red.

“My dearest eldest grandson died just like that. Even the president can’t stop me from being angry.”

The head of the Bai family was a middle-aged man with a small mustache. He had black, leather gloves on. He clenched both his fists and placed them on his crossed legs.

He quietly said, “This person stripped my son’s clothes and flung him into the lake. It was extremely embarrassing for my family.”

“Tell me what you’re thinking about. You’re one of the nine counties’ magistrates, after all, so I really hope that you could speak up for us,” said the old man as he looked at him.

“Tell you what. As long as that boy is no longer under the protection of the president, the Bai family can definitely deal with him,” replied the head of the Bai family.

The head of the Nie family looked intently at the other party and asked, “Why do you want to deal with him? Don’t try to fool me; I’m someone with nearly one foot in the coffin already, so there’s no point in pulling tricks.”

The head of the Bai family laughed and replied, “According to the information I received, that boy seems to have achieved some pretty amazing research results.”

He sighed and continued, “My family has checked already. According to the Federation’s laws, as long as he’s still alive, these research results will belong solely to him.”

The head of the Nie family narrowed his eyes and said, “How selfish. Aren’t you happy about these research results?”

“I’m not happy at all.”

“But what method do you have to get these results that even shocked the president into your hands?”

The head of the Bai family relaxed his hands and said, “We can discuss that further.”

After an hour had passed.

The head of the Nie family was satisfied and left.

The head of the Bai family lit a cigar. After he was halfway through, he suddenly called for one of his men.

“Yes sir.”

“Arrange for someone to watch over the Nie family. Once they’re done with their part, kill the entire clan. Make sure none of them survives.”

“Yes sir.”

Back at the president’s office.

Everyone had left, and even Martial Arts Saint Zhang Zongyang had left. The room was left with only the president and Gu Qingshan.

“Given your age, I was wondering if you should continue your studies,” said the president.

“Do you mean going on to university? I’m fine with anything,” replied Gu Qingshan.

The president nodded and said, “Even though I publicly made you my godson in accordance with the instructions from the Impartiality Goddess, I don’t think it’s good to just do things for show. If you do things like that too often, it’s easy to forget why you did them in the first place.”

He smiled warmly, “When it comes to your studies, I can settle that. So let me do my duty.”

Gu Qingshan replied sincerely, “Thank you for your understanding and help.”

The president picked up the communication device on the office desk, smiled, and said, “But of course, when it comes to you, we’d better check with the Goddess before making any arrangements.”

The communication device connected quickly.

“I’ve decided to assure Gu Qingshan a place in Capital University. What do you think?” asked the president.

The unique rhythm of the Impartiality Goddess’ female voice rang out from the communication device, “After playing through various scenarios and considering your opinion, the best place for Gu Qingshan is in the area of mecha technology research, so the best university for him is Federal Defense University. Capital University is ranked first in the country, but mecha configuration and its defense mechanisms is not the best place to use Gu Qingshan’s research.”

The president looked at Gu Qingshan.

Gu Qingshan shrugged and showed that he didn’t have objections and he could accept this arrangement.

Federal Defence University was one of the top three universities in the Federation. It wasn’t ranked as highly as Capital University, but mecha technology research was certainly their strong suit and was more suitable for himself.

More importantly, it was a good place to rest whenever he came out of the cultivation world.

When the president saw this, he also quietly nodded and started to like Gu Qingshan even more.

After all his experiences in life, he had seen many gifted people. These people were usually foul-tempered, complacent, condescending, rebellious, and rash.

Gu Qingshan was young, but he was willing to listen to others’ opinions and was able to think objectively about everything.

This was an important point because it was directly linked to Gu Qingshan’s future path.

“We’ll go with that, then. I’m agreeable,” said the president.

The Impartiality Goddess said, “Please grant your authorization.”

“Authorization granted,” replied the president.

The Impartiality Goddess replied, “Preparing to retrieve file and make arrangements. Calculating Gu Qingshan’s Personal Meritorious Service points.”

“Currently confirming arrangements.”

“As this process is highly classified, it will take several minutes to go through certain special processes and will be completed later.”

Since everything was all set in place, the president nodded and looked away from the communication device. Then, he looked back at Gu Qingshan and said, “Come to my place tomorrow for lunch and meet my family.”

Gu Qingshan nodded, “Sure. I’ll have to trouble you then.”

The president laughed, “No trouble at all. I’m so busy every day, all my meals are prepared by the chef. I don’t have time to cook, okay?”

Gu Qingshan laughed too.

“After you enter university, make more friends. It’s our military school, after all, so after you graduate, all of you will be comrades in battle and you’ll meet each other again sooner or later,” instructed the president.

“Sure, I will,” replied Gu Qingshan seriously.

Since the president didn’t want to just take him in as a godson for show and was so sincere toward him, Gu Qingshan wasn’t a hypocritical person, either.

Someone knocked on the door at this time.

“What is it?” asked the president.

“The parliament session already started ten minutes ago, Mr. President. It’s your turn to speak soon.”

“Oh I nearly forgot about that,” the president smacked his forehead and stood up.

Gu Qingshan got up too and said, “I’m sorry for giving you trouble.”

Someone else walked over and quietly asked if the president was in his office.

The president then said, “I have to leave now. Remember to come to my place at noon tomorrow.”

Gu Qingshan replied, “Yes I will.”

The two of them walked out together. The president went with his subordinates to attend the parliament session while someone else led Gu Qingshan out and sent him out in a specially arranged car.

After everyone had left the room, the president’s office door was shut and everything went quiet again.

After a few minutes, the communication device on the president’s desk lit up.

The Impartiality Goddess’s voice rang out from the device.

“According to Gu Qingshan’s Personal Meritorious Service points, classification level in the Federation, level of technology research, as well as the general principles for grooming research scientists in the Federation, all suitable arrangements have been made.”

“Final arrangement: Federal Defense University, Mecha Department, Special Professor, to receive a special allowance from the Federation.”

“Changes in Gu Qingshan’s personal profile completed.”

After she read through all these details, the Impartiality Goddess disconnected the call.
