Chapter 186: Chapter 186: Open ConspiracyQuan Jinbei gave Zhan Miao a glance and retorted, "What, you still think I should like you?" Zhan Miao was at a loss for words and hurriedly waved his hands, saying, "I didn’t mean that." As he spoke, he looked at Shi Yaoguang helplessly, as if pleading for assistance. Shi Yaoguang said to Quan Jinbei, "Third Master, you are already a grown adult, you shouldn’t bully people like this." Quan Jinbei raised an eyebrow, "How am I bullying him?" This question was somewhat... difficult to answer, wasn’t it? Shi Yaoguang looked at him troubledly, thought for a moment, and said, "Zhan Miao is just following orders; he doesn’t have the right to choose... " "Whose orders is he following? What business is he handling?" Hearing this, Zhan Miao guiltily lowered his head. Logically speaking, since he asked Shi Yaoguang for help, he should listen to her, but now... But the matter was already like this, anything he said now was too late. After thinking it over, he weakly said, "Is it too late for me to apologize now?" "It is too late." Quan Jinbei expressed his opinion very coldly. Zhan Miao’s face turned pale, and he looked more uneasy, "Then what do you want me to do?" When he asked this question, he was ready for Quan Jinbei to reject him, or to make an unreasonable demand. Unexpectedly, Quan Jinbei just pointed at Shi Fan and said to him, "Let him follow you from now on, and I can overlook your past mistakes." Upon hearing this, Zhan Miao was overjoyed. Compared to other harsh conditions, the request Quan Jinbei made was easier for him than he could ever imagine. There was absolutely no reason for him to refuse, and he wanted to agree right away. But before he could agree, this condition was met with resistance from Shi Fan. As soon as the little guy heard he was going to be sent away, his eyes immediately reddened, and the look he gave Quan Jinbei was full of grievance and accusation. He timidly tugged at Shi Yaoguang’s clothing, looking pitiful, "Sister, I’ll be good, I promise. If you think there’s anything I’m doing wrong, you can tell me, I’ll change, just please don’t send me away, okay?" By the time he finished speaking, his little face was already wet with tears. Shi Yaoguang, looking at him, was stricken with heartache, and hurriedly said, "Sister didn’t want to send you away, stop crying." After speaking, the look she gave Quan Jinbei was filled with rebuke, "You want to send Xiaofan away?" Quan Jinbei shook his head, explaining, "I have no intention of sending him away." "Then what?" "Doesn’t Shi Fan like the military camp? Since that’s the case, why not let him develop in that direction?" As he spoke, he glanced at Zhan Miao and spoke bluntly, "The department where Zhan Miao is, is not so easily accessible to ordinary people. If he did not feel guilty, he would never agree to this condition." Upon hearing this, Shi Yaoguang finally felt relieved. Shi Fan also breathed a sigh of relief. Zhan Miao, however, felt complicated. Did the Third Master really need to employ such an open strategy against him? Couldn’t he have explained this to Mrs. Quan in private? Did he have to say it in front of him, without worrying that he might renege? Of course, this possibility was just something Zhan Miao considered in his mind. He could never renege. After all... He could offend anyone, but not the big shot. Not to mention the Third Master, whose reputation was well-known. Mrs. Quan was equally brilliant. Being friends with such people was the best outcome, and even if that was not possible, one should not easily make enemies. If they truly became enemies, one might not even know how they died. Zhan Miao pondered for a moment, then looked at Shi Fan with a tinge of warmth in his eyes, "Xiaofan, would you like to join our department?" Shi Fan had followed Zhan Miao to his department for a tour today, and indeed, he liked the place quite a bit.

If he joined the department where Zhan Miao worked, he would have to leave his sister, and that was something he was unwilling to do under any circumstances. "Sister, if I join Uncle Zhan Miao’s department, can we still live together?" Shi Yaoguang didn’t immediately answer but looked at Zhan Miao, seeking his opinion. Zhan Miao hurriedly said, "Of course you can!" In fact... There were strict rules in their department; members couldn’t go back to their own homes every day. But special cases called for special measures. With Shi Fan’s strong backing, of course, he could enjoy some special privileges. Zhan Miao thought this and felt a bit envious of Shi Fan. Upon receiving Zhan Miao’s promise, Shi Fan immediately agreed to him, "Uncle Zhan Miao, I’m willing to join your department!" Zhan Miao immediately revealed a smile, "Good, on behalf of our department, I welcome Xiaofan to join us!" With that, he gave Shi Fan a military salute. Shi Fan also returned a military salute. The agreement was thus reached. After seeing Zhan Miao off, Shi Yaoguang finally asked Quan Jinbei, "How did you come up with the idea of entrusting Xiaofan to Zhan Miao?" Quan Jinbei said with a grand air, "Zhan Miao’s character has proven to be reliable. It doesn’t matter if Shi Fan doesn’t want to go home. Given his intelligence, staying in an environment like a kindergarten or elementary school isn’t much help to him. Instead of wasting time at school, it would be better to let him do what he likes." Hearing this, Shi Fan was deeply touched, "Thank you, brother-in-law, you’re so good to me!" After speaking, he also reproached himself, "I misunderstood you just now, I’m sorry, brother-in-law." Seeing him hanging his little head low, Shi Yaoguang reached out and ruffled his soft hair. Quan Jinbei said indifferently, "You’ve already called me brother-in-law, so looking out for you is the right thing to do." The little guy, with his face all flushed, said, "I understand now, brother-in-law. You’re good to me because of sister, so I should also thank sister." Shi Yaoguang smiled and spoke softly, "No need to thank me." ... After dinner, Shi Yaoguang coaxed Shi Fan to go to sleep. Quan Jinbei was already on the third floor, practicing and waiting for her. By his side was a huge pile of Revival Cream. Shi Yaoguang, meeting his reproachful gaze, felt a slight twinge of guilt. She awkwardly cleared her throat and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?" "What do you think?" Quan Jinbei raised an eyebrow and countered. Shi Yaoguang shook her head, her gaze drifting, "How would I know?" Without giving him time to react, she said, "Anyway... it’s getting late, let’s get started." "Alright," Quan Jinbei responded, "What do you want me to do?" Shi Yaoguang spread open her palm, and spiritual power began to gather at her fingertips. She demonstrated and explained, "Just do as I tell you..." Quan Jinbei was quick to understand. At first, he had to slowly infuse the Revival Cream with spiritual power, one step at a time. Eventually, his movements became faster and faster, and he was even able to infuse spiritual power into many Revival Creams at once. In one night, they had dealt with the majority of them. The next day. Shi Yaoguang went to school on time, while Quan Jinbei continued to toil away at home. Arriving at the school gate, she noticed many people on the street giving her covert glances. She was all too familiar with such gazes, but she had no idea what they were scrutinizing her for this time.
