"This... this..."

One of the Spirit-Taming Sect members, upon seeing the heart in his hand, was scared out of his wits and hastily threw it away.

"What is this?"

Another person from the Spirit-Taming Sect found a piece of paper in his hand, on which a few words were written.

*Yan Xiaosong is dead!*

*The Spirit-Taming Sect shall perish!*

The two looked at the paper, then at the heart lying on the ground, and finally at each other speechlessly.

They suddenly realized. That heart might belong to Yan Xiaosong! He was murdered at Su Xuan's home last night!

The two men didn't dare stay a moment longer and immediately rushed back to their sect.

「...」

"You can understand this video, right?"

In the detention room, Zhong Huilan spoke to Qiao Yongshou, a protector from the Spirit-Taming Sect.

In front of Qiao Yongshou was a laptop, its screen replaying the video of Yan Xiaosong's murder over and over. Her intention was obvious: she wanted Qiao Yongshou to understand that neither Su Xuan nor Qi Li had killed Yan Xiaosong.

"I don't understand."

Qiao Yongshou trembled, though it was unclear if it was from anger, sorrow, or fear. He truly couldn't believe Yan Xiaosong was dead. He was supposed to be Yan Xiaosong's bodyguard on this trip down the mountain!

After I was knocked out by those two in red armor... how could such a terrible thing have happened?

"Then watch it again," Zhong Huilan said, hitting the play button once more.

Over an hour later, Qiao Yongshou looked up and said abruptly, "Treat my injuries. Many of my bones are dislocated, and I can't move on my own. Then let me go!"

"Why do you want to leave?" Zhong Huilan asked.

"To go back!" Qiao Yongshou said emphatically. "Our sect might be in danger."

"Have you thought it through?"

"I have!"

Zhong Huilan then used Su Xuan's connections to send Qiao Yongshou to Kangnai. However, after just half a day of treatment, Qiao Yongshou quietly left on his own, departing in a great hurry.

「...」

"Su Xuan, come here and take a look."

It was still morning in Su Xuan's mansion when Wang Xuehan summoned him to a room. While cleaning that morning, Wang Xuehan had discovered two items.

One was a book with a few words on the title page: *Introductory Cultivation Method of the Floating Clouds*.

The second item was half of a jade pendant, with the other half nowhere to be found.

Su Xuan knew at a glance that Qi Li had left them when she visited last night. This was also the room she had stayed in. As for the cultivation method, Su Xuan knew why she had left it—it was part of a trade she had made with Zhong Huilan. But as for the half-jade pendant, he had no idea what it was about.

Su Xuan collected the cultivation method and the jade pendant and returned to his room.

On the coffee table lay a pile of items. There were several mobile phones, a few brocade pouches, and a cultivation method from the Spirit-Taming Sect. These were all things he had taken from the Spirit-Taming Sect members the night before.

Looking at these items, Su Xuan's lips curved into a slight smile. No matter how dangerous his situation was, the previous night hadn't been a complete waste. The brocade pouches contained miraculous pills, and the cultivation method was certainly a rare treasure. As for the mobile phones...

Su Xuan found the one that belonged to Yan Xiaosong. He opened the DiDi app, completed the order Yan Xiaosong had placed for his ride, and even left himself a positive review.

With such a unique experience, if this isn't a super order, I'll walk on my hands from now on!

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds...

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for completing a super order!"

"Ding! The Host is rewarded with a 53% stake in FedEx, becoming its largest shareholder!"

"Ding! System upgrading, entering the third phase!"

The system notifications rang continuously in Su Xuan's head.

And what was FedEx? It was a global courier company that handled international express delivery, international cargo transport, import and export businesses, and provided related services for sea, air, and land freight. Its scale was massive, and its reputation was excellent.

Most critically, its market value was close to 70 billion US dollars. A 53% stake meant he controlled over 35 billion US dollars!

Now I'm truly a hundred-billion-dollar tycoon!

Su Xuan put down Yan Xiaosong's phone, his eyes sparkling. What was the biggest reward? This was!

Moreover, the system had also upgraded to the third phase.

But... Su Xuan was puzzled. What kind of life experience was he supposed to have in the third phase? Why hadn't the system said anything? Is it still formulating the details?

BRRRING!

Su Xuan's phone suddenly rang. Seeing the caller, he blinked in confusion. He had guessed the call would be from FedEx. Since he was now their largest shareholder, it was logical for the global enterprise to contact him immediately, but this wasn't their number. Or perhaps it was Zhong Huilan calling about Qiao Yongshou, but it wasn't her either.

Unexpectedly, the call was from Du Yufei of Fei Lian Airlines.

"Yu Fei, what's up?" Su Xuan answered.

"Boss, didn't you ask President Xia to arrange a private jet for you the other day? The jet has been prepared. When will you be departing?" Du Yufei said. "Our company needs to apply for the flight path in advance."

"Oh, right, right," Su Xuan said, only then remembering the matter. After his last reward had pushed his net worth over one hundred billion US dollars, he had wanted to go find Alice. He had been so busy these past two days that he had almost forgotten.

"Would today work?" Su Xuan asked after a moment of thought. The system hadn't assigned him a task for the third phase yet, and he was currently facing some trouble, so it seemed like a good time to go see Alice. Besides, showing off in front of that old man Richard sounded like fun.

"No problem at all, it's a private jet!" Du Yufei's voice was full of laughter. "Boss, President Xia put me in full charge of all matters concerning the jet. Um, I'll be accompanying you this time!"

"If you're not busy with anything else, of course you can."

Su Xuan didn't refuse. Du Yufei was practically family; she was Du Yuchen's sister, which made her Dongfang Hao's sister-in-law. He knew her well, and having her along would make the trip more convenient.

"I don't have anything else to do. Your business is my business," Du Yufei said. As Su Xuan's assistant at Fei Lian Airlines, this was no exaggeration.

After hanging up, Su Xuan made some arrangements.

He held a small meeting with Butler Liu, Wang Xuehan, and the young brother-and-sister pair. He told them to stay home, not to wander around, and to prioritize their safety above all else. He also entrusted the two Red-Armored Warriors to their care, asking them to look after the warriors. In reality, however, his true intention was for the Red-Armored Warriors to protect them.

He then went to see Zhong Huilan and gave her the Introductory Cultivation Method of the Floating Clouds.

But just as he was giving the cultivation method to Zhong Huilan, something bizarre happened...
