A tiny, grain-sized object was dropped into the pot after being weighed, cooking along with the other ingredients.

"Assistant, we are from the Quality Inspection Bureau, and we require an inspection of your products," the man said angrily, continually blocking guests from coming in, attempting to taste the item, as if in a dream.

"Someone reported that you are concocting illegal substances here. Could you please show your credentials? We need to check, or we might treat you as a criminal,"

The man signaled the special forces behind him to step forward, pointing the ominous gun barrel at Luo Chao, seemingly threatening him. Any small movement might get him shot directly.

"These are my credentials." A pitch-black booklet was taken out. Before the person in front could react, the surprised person behind took it over.

After a detailed check, they were stunned. This young man actually had such a background? It seems Long Li has hit a hard wall.

"Sorry, sir, we meant no offense. There's no issue here; how could something from the First Institute be dangerous?"

Another person was also stunned. He was unfamiliar with the First Institute, but this person being one of their staff was indeed surprising.

Not only surprising, but sweat also dripped directly to the ground. If Luo Chao wants him to lose his job, it was just a matter of moments.

"There's nothing wrong here. We're leaving, Mr. Zhou." The man's terrified appearance aroused the curiosity of others.

"Leave for what! I still have things to say. Although Long Li's slimming tea is effective and almost on par with ours, the drug shortens people's lives, not just people, but also combatants."

Luo Chao's words were plain, yet they left everyone around him in shock. The drug had such side effects? What they hoped wouldn't happen actually did.

"We know what to do now, everyone, follow me. The target is Long Li's slimming tea. We must thoroughly investigate its consumption."

With the man's departure and his last words, everyone understood, though it all started with themselves, it surprisingly ended in failure like this.

Not only that, the possibility of him being detained was not high, but this time he would certainly be utterly embarrassed.

"You all really are something. Why did so many things happen, and that kid even knew this secret. But forget it, you handled these matters well, soon..."

In the Long Family, a convoy set out. Long Li sat in one car, the other seven were filled with gifts, looking exceptionally grand.

"Mrs. Mao, do you know? It's said Long Family's slimming tea uses life to lose weight, negatively affecting longevity,"

The woman said helplessly. Besides, she couldn't afford it and also felt uneasy.

"What's up with that? This place belongs to my future son-in-law, there's definitely no problem," the woman said with a smile. She's seen many such business battles; the opponent is at most a clown.

"Long Li is here!" Someone reported, and others were stunned. Long Li shouldn't still be fighting hard, how did he suddenly appear here?

"Mother, I came to see you. Is Mao Mao home?" Long Li asked curiously, "Didn't you ask her to come back early today?"

Seeing the situation, the others found excuses to leave, leaving only Mao Zhonghua and the others...

A man stood behind Long Li. Although the man didn't look particularly impressive, he inexplicably gave off an extremely dangerous aura.

"Aunt, this is my senior, a Cultivator," Long Li introduced warmly, as if neither treating his senior nor Mao Zhonghua's mother as outsiders.

"Junior brother, you talk too much, some things are better left unknown to certain people," the man's mouth moved, signaling Long Li not to elaborate about him.

"What is senior talking about, and isn't she my future mother? Not an outsider, it's fine." Long Li smiled, and seeing this, the man didn't say more. Long Li's potential was decent; otherwise, they wouldn't have had him protected.

"Junior brother, you really should prepare to return to the Sect for cultivation, indulging in women is not good," the man cold-heartedly said. But his words stunned the woman, discovering her son-in-law was also a Cultivator, and not just any Cultivator, his talent was exceptional.

"Do Cultivators really exist?" Mao Zhonghua's mother mused inwardly, yet her face was all smiles. Regardless of truth, as long as Long Li is the Long Family's eldest son, that's all that matters.

"How about the two of you enjoy a cup of this year's fine new tea?" Mao Zhonghua's mother said with a smile.

"New tea? Bring it. Most importantly, when will your daughter return? It's an honor for her to serve as Junior Brother's maid and enter the Sect," the man calmly said.

"As a maid? Wasn't she supposed to be a wife?" The woman was stunned; this was completely different from what was previously said.

"Do you have a problem?" The man suddenly stood, with things around breaking under his pressure.

The pressure gathered closer, seemingly about to engulf Mao Zhonghua's mother.

"Stop this, truly disgraceful. Resorting to such means, unsure if you're human traffickers or Cultivators!" Luo Chao said furiously.

However, these supposed Cultivators were hardly true Cultivators, merely using a little True Qi cultivated through basic training to act arrogantly here.

Furthermore, they shamelessly considered this shamelessness an honor.

"Senior, it's him who intervened, please help address this, defend my honor," Long Li suddenly knelt, solemnly requesting his senior's support.

The man glanced at Luo Chao, quite young. Even if aware of Cultivators' existence, hardly a master.
