Harmony Courtyard.

This is the small courtyard Tang Fei arranged specially for the old man, located in the southwest part of the City Lord Mansion, with a serene environment and plenty of sunlight.

Tang Fei knew that all of them who came from the old land, especially loved the feeling of being bathed in sunlight.

What they couldn't experience before, they now always wanted to make up for.

Even though the old man now couldn't perceive any of it at all.

Tang Fei wanted to give him the best.

Just like when in Hate Mountain, the most succulent piece of triangular lamb meat would definitely reach his hand.

Lu Siyu guarded in the courtyard, protecting the old man.

From childhood to adulthood, her father had always been missing.

Alive, there's no sight of him, dead, no corpse found.

Whether he is alive or dead, no one knows.

There's anticipation, yet cruel thoughts...

It's better if he's dead, if dead, at least send a message, cut off the longing.

After much difficulty, he's back, hiding in the basement like a groundhog.

The opportunities for the father and daughter to be alone are really scarce.

Now, such companionship is pretty nice.

While worrying about the illness, Lu Siyu also felt some peace.

Her father was by her side, right in the nearby Recovery Cabin.

It's a pity they couldn't speak.

Of course, they didn't have much to say.

Seeing the old man and Tang Fei together, speaking endlessly, as if there were endless words, she actually felt envious inside.

She wished she could also have so much to say with her father.

Just when she was purposelessly losing herself in thought, the door of the courtyard was gently knocked.

Lu Siyu snapped out of it, looking towards the door.

She knew, Tang Fei had deployed a lot of personnel around this courtyard.

Even Ghost, his most trusted aide who followed him everywhere, had set up many...

Tang Fei just left, who would come over at this time?

Of course, no matter who it was, it certainly was a 'reliable' person.

Unreliable people wouldn't have any chance to enter the courtyard, they'd already been stopped by Ghost's men outside.

"Please come in," Lu Siyu called out.

The wooden door of the courtyard was pushed open, a slim figure appeared in front of her eyes.

Lu Siyu's gaze involuntarily sharpened.

Shen Qingping!

She didn't expect the visitor to be the General of the Dushan Army, Shen Qingping.

What was Shen Qingping coming over for at this time?

Standing in the middle of the courtyard, facing Lu Siyu's scrutinizing gaze, Shen Qingping clasped his hands and said, "Mechanical genius, Imperial Double Wall, I have long admired Mr. Lu... Heard he's seriously ill, so I wanted to pay him a visit."

Lu Siyu remained silent.

Although her main battlefield was online, within the vast and ethereal virtual battlefield.

However, this didn't mean she was oblivious to worldly matters.

She was clear on the events outside.

Shen Qingping's parents were killed by Shen Xinglan, while her father was exchanged back by Tang Fei...

Was his heart filled with hate?

He probably held hate within.

Seeing Lu Siyu wasn't showing any intentions of inviting him to visit inside, Shen Qingping understood, and spoke out: "If I'm not mistaken, the Shen Family is using Dragon Blood No. 7 nutrient solution inside the Recovery Cabin... This nutrient solution is extracted from the plant essence of the Dragon Blood Tree, supplemented by castor bees, crocodile eggs, and thirty-two other floral and faunal extracts."

"Of course, I'm not clear about the specific formula... But, I believe with the technological level mastered by the Lu Clan, it should be able to decipher its genetic code."

Lu Siyu's expression was astonished.

She never expected Shen Qingping not only came willingly to visit the patient but also brought such a heavy gift.

Based on what he said, the Lu Clan could conduct targeted research and solve the problem...

It could save a lot of time and effort, enabling them to produce the same nutrient solution faster, extending the old man's life.

Without waiting for Lu Siyu to speak, Shen Qingping slightly bowed to her, turned, and left.

Watching Shen Qingping's back, Lu Siyu's eyes showed contemplation.

Mengzi said, those who win the hearts of the people win the world.

This is what Mengzi said, not Laozi.

Laozi said, I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me.

Oh, this was said by Cao Mengde, the lover of lady's wives.

Books talk about Monarchs and emperors being benevolent, loving the people, and courageous in sacrifice.

But looking through history records, actually, these don't work.

At least, before you have enormous power, they won't work.

Kindness breeds greed, fear expands with terror.

Balancing kindness and authority can unify people's hearts.

This is human nature.

Phoenix spoke so thoroughly because she didn't want Tang Fei to get caught up in internal conflict.

There will be countless such situations in the future, if each time he has to reflect upon himself, he'll become the reflection monster...

Instead of reflecting on oneself, it's better to blame others.

She sees it all clearly, yet willingly ruins her image to be frank...

She truly is a wise woman.

Tang Fei was deeply moved and again embraced Phoenix.

Hmm, such great kindness and virtue, with no way to repay, except wanting to roll in the sheets.

Unfortunately, this is the office.

Phoenix felt Tang Fei's affection towards her, gently and shyly nestled in his embrace.

This kind of talk stops at an appropriate point, without the need for unnecessary verbosity.

If too forceful, it will instead make others feel disgusted and alert.

Tang Fei is a clever man, he would understand what she was saying.

As the two were immersed in their affection, the office door was knocked at an inappropriate time.

"Please come in."

Tang Fei released Phoenix and called out.

Personal Guard Captain Lin Hai walked in, and softly reported before Tang Fei, "Lord, General Shen Qingping went to Harmony Courtyard."

Tang Fei's eyes slightly sharpened, and he asked aloud, "What did he go to Harmony Courtyard for?"
