The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 249 Can’t Be Greedy for Drinks (2)_1

Situ Xin breathed a sigh of relief upon realizing that it wasn’t Situ Muli who had learned about the Marrow Cleansing Pill from a cultivator. However, it served as a reminder to Situ Xin to intensify her training to be prepared for any situation. In her heart, she thought, "Later, I’ll go to my space and ask Baibai if it knows whether there are any cultivators in this world."

"Miss, are you really going to give me such a precious Marrow Cleansing Pill?" Situ Muli was aware of the pill’s effects. If the Marrow Cleansing Pill didn’t have significant benefits for the body, the Leader of his former organization wouldn’t have sent them to find it for him.

"The things I give out are not taken back. You can take it with ease. And don’t feel unsettled or burdened. If you can devote yourself to serving me well in the future, that will be the best repayment." Situ Xin said, walking over to Old Master Situ’s desk, opened a drawer as if looking for something, but in reality, she was taking out the cultivation technique and mental methods she had prepared last night from her space, tailored to Situ Muli’s constitution. "Take this. After you have consumed the Marrow Cleansing Pill, start practicing the techniques listed here. This way, you’ll get twice the results with half the effort. You shouldn’t feel any pressure. I am doing this purely for myself; only when you’re strong can you assist me effectively, right?"

"I won’t disappoint your trust, Miss. I will serve you with peace of mind." Situ Muli knew that Situ Xin said this to ease the pressure on him. He was grateful towards Situ Xin. He was not someone who hadn’t seen the world, and he knew very well how precious the things she gave him were. He also knew that his current strength was not enough to remain by Situ Xin’s side.

Moreover, he could see that Situ Xin was destined to accomplish great things.

Until now, Situ Xin had not revealed the cultivation techniques from the jade token in her mind. Previously, she had considered giving those cultivation mental methods to her family to practice. But as her cultivation level grew higher, she gradually realized that these cultivation methods were defying the natural order. Except for the "Dance of the Phoenix Nine Styles" she was currently practicing, which did not lead to heavenly tribulation, all other cultivation techniques would invite certain tribulations when reaching a specific level. And the higher the cultivation level, the more formidable the tribulation will be, often being a matter of life and death.

Situ Xin did not dare to risk her family’s lives; she couldn’t bear to lose the family she had finally gained.

So, Situ Xin waited for the day she would find a foolproof way to counteract the tribulations and for a cultivation technique like "Dance of the Phoenix Nine Styles" that did not invite heavenly tribulation to appear in the jade token. Then, she would allow her family to earnestly pursue the path of cultivation. For now, what she aimed to do was to ensure they had healthy bodies.

In the office of the highest leader of Country H, a telephone had hit the ground, scattering bits of plastic. Upon closer inspection, one could see that these pieces had broken off from the device itself.

The highest leader, Chief Hu, had already calmed down from the emotional upheaval caused by the call from Old Deng.

Having regained his composure, Chief Hu, while somewhat unwilling to accept it, was now pondering that Old Deng assigning the role of the Dark Division Leader to the girl from the Situ Family might not be a bad thing.

He had always wanted to have control over the position of the Dark Division Leader. First, to hold onto his own power tightly as most leaders did not appreciate elements beyond their control. Second, he was afraid this position would fall into the hands of his political rivals. Despite Country H being a one-party state, there were always ambitious individuals eyeing the top position.

Upon reflection, Chief Hu realized that control of the Dark Division Leader’s position was definitely beyond his people’s grasp. Even if Old Deng agreed to let go, those rival factions would do everything in their power to thwart it. Just as if one of his rivals had secured the position, he too would have racked his brains to sabotage the matter.

Chief Hu was familiar with the people from the Situ Family. They were all devoted to the country and maintained a neutral stance, meaning they were loyal only to the nation.

What actually reassured Chief Hu was his investigation had revealed that several of his political rivals had past feuds with the Situ Family. This suggested that the Dark Division, under Situ Xin’s control, would definitely not lean towards those factions.

With this in mind, the cloud in Chief Hu’s heart dissipated, giving way to a sense of the clouds parting to reveal the sun.

Chief Hu thought back to the name mentioned over the phone, "Situ Xin," as he searched his brain for information about her. But he had only a faint impression.

He often heard the old masters mention a girl who was dearly cherished by both the Situ Family and the Loo Family, named Situ Xin. He also remembered that at the end of a meeting, as a joke, those old masters had suggested to Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo to bring out their treasured child for them to meet someday.

This suggestion was outright rejected by Old Master Situ on the spot.

Another memory was from Elder Yu’s birthday banquet, where he had heard reports of the situation from his subordinates, mentioning how Old Master Situ’s granddaughter had dazzled the entire gathering. They said that Old Master Situ’s granddaughter was not only beautiful but also immensely talented and versatile.

Beyond that, Chief Hu had never actually seen what Situ Xin looked like. He lamented in his heart, "The Situ and Loo Families really do cherish this young girl, keeping her so well protected."

However, this piqued Chief Hu’s curiosity even more. He intended to pick up the phone to call his secretary to come in. That’s when he realized he had smashed the phone already.

He had no choice but to stand up and call for the secretary outside the door himself.

When the secretary came in and saw the ruined phone lying on the floor, there wasn’t a hint of surprise on his face, obviously accustomed to such occurrences.

Chief Hu instructed his secretary to order an investigation into Situ Xin and to bring him her dossier. He was eager to know what kind of person she was, for Old Deng to entrust her with such an important organization as the Dark Division.

He was very much looking forward to seeing Situ Xin’s files.
