Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 288 - 156: The So-Called Backup (7k5)_3

Liu Chong nodded, his words were implicit but factual.

The foundation of the Six Great Families was indeed profound.

"Does Master Yao think he has a high likelihood of achieving Innate Perfection?"

Yao Heshan gave a bitter laugh and said, "No one can predict that, not even a Grandmaster. It all depends on him alone."

After speaking, he seemed to discern something and cautiously asked, "Does the President think Ji Jingqiu is qualified to compete for the leadership position?"

Liu Chong chuckled and said, "We don't have a say in that position, it depends on the young people themselves. After all, when the time comes, the battlefield will be the Nine States, and we can't intervene."

Yao Heshan nodded thoughtfully.

He had grasped the President's implication.

"It just never occurred to me that the hostility between the Qin Family and Ji Family had reached the point where they would rather promote an outsider just to discomfort the Ji Family..."

Liu Chong chuckled and stopped at that point, seemingly making a casual remark, but the hidden depth in his words caused the others present to tense up.

"If you are referring to Ji Jingqiu, I do have some differing opinions," suddenly spoke the current head of the Security Bureau, Lin Wenshan.

This Director Lin, sitting to one side, had an unremarkable figure and appearance, seemingly inconspicuous among the crowd until he spoke, making everyone look at him and listen intently.

Lin Wenshan directly said, "Someone told me that this young man is a sufferer of the Evil Poision Disease, and his reason for not yet achieving Reverse Innate is likely related to this. If he wants to achieve Reverse Innate, he must first overcome a life-or-death challenge."

Yao Heshan frowned and said, "What life-or-death challenge?"

Lin Wenshan apologized, "This involves a secret of X-level clearance which, with your current clearance, Mr. Yao, you're temporarily unable to access."

Liu Chong raised an eyebrow, a secret of X-level clearance?

He didn't rush to inquire what it was, but impliedly said, "Director Lin, why do I feel like you are not optimistic about this young man?"

Lin Wenshan responded evenly, "Actually, the Security Bureau had considered recruiting him before, but later we discovered that this youngster might have already been recruited by the Administration Bureau."

Upon this news, Liu Chong suddenly remembered an incident.

It was from a meeting a few months ago, when Mu Xianhe expressed that the Federation needed a true Martial Arts genius, a uniquely unparalleled figure, and the old director of the Administration Bureau who attended the meeting via projection also specifically spoke in favor of Ji Jingqiu.

That time, it didn't seem to mean much.

After all, with that old director's tone then, it was hard to say it wasn't sarcastic. Even if it wasn't, that individual had often been a "troublemaker"…

But now it seemed, perhaps Lin Wenshan was right.

No wonder, the conflicts between the Security Bureau and the Administration Bureau weren't just from yesterday or today.

Liu Chong's eyes twinkled with amusement, "Old Lin, try not to be biased. Setting aside the Administration Bureau, Ji Jingqiu himself is still quite outstanding."

Lin Wenshan shook his head and said, "If you're interested, you could investigate the secrets involved with Evil Poison Disease. It's not my personal bias, but it really is difficult for him to achieve Reverse Innate."

At this moment,

Lin Wenshan suddenly received a message, glanced down at it with a shocked expression.

He looked up at the others and finally focused on Liu Chong, his face solemn, and nodded slightly.

Liu Chong instantly understood and found an excuse to end the meeting.

After the others left the meeting room, Lin Wenshan finally said solemnly, "Latest intelligence, according to our informants, Ji Linyuan is suspected to have appeared."

Liu Chong asked with a grave expression, "Did he appear on Heavenly Road? What's the situation now, did anyone from the Ke family make a move?"

Lin Wenshan shook his head, "He didn't appear on Heavenly Road, but approached the Dharma King of the Supreme True Buddha Sect."

Liu Chong's brow furrowed deeply.

Supreme True Buddha Sect? Why the Supreme True Buddha Sect?

...

Ji Jingqiu and Leng Dao boarded a private spacecraft and within half a day arrived at Taiwei Star, not far from North 7 Crane Star, also one of the four core star planets of the central region.

Unlike the Four Guardian Stars, Taiwei Star was an official residential star.

After landing on Taiwei Star when the sky was in the evening, a dedicated car was waiting at the airport.

"Daoge, who are we going to meet? Bage?" Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but be curious.

"Laoba is still on a mission in the West, I was temporarily called back," Leng Dao shook his head, then suddenly smiled, "By the way, have you met Qin Laosan?"

"Qin Laosan? No."

"His real name is Qin Jing, a collateral member of the Qin Family, and also the head of the third department of our Administration Bureau," Leng Dao introduced, smiling, "In a previous communication, he spoke well of you, said you were impressive."

Ji Jingqiu thought to himself, he had never met this person.

The only person from the Administration Bureau he had met on the Four Guardian Stars was Zhou Zhongda.

The flying car stopped below a hotel.

On the way here, Ji Jingqiu had noticed this hotel which, in terms of height, could rival White Jade City; standing below and looking up, one couldn't see the top.

"Let's go," Leng Dao called out, "This hotel is named Lingyun Pavilion, it has 1999 floors, and from the highest viewing platform, you can see outer space."

He paused, then said, "This is my brother-in-law's property."

Ji Jingqiu solemnly admired, it turns out to be owned by a big family!

At the same time, he also guessed who Leng Dao was taking him to meet.

How should he put it?

He was not averse but rather somewhat eager to meet this individual whose fate seemed similar to his own.

Leading by Leng Dao, the two reached the 999th floor via the vertical elevator.
