"True enough, but that Limit-Breaking Qi-Gathering Pill isn't so easy to refine either. I've been squandering my energy in too many places lately, and I've had no time to research pill refinement," Kang Jingming said.
"Refine it slowly, then—once this thing kills Wei Zhao outright, it saves us the trouble. Only, the pill-cauldron business is doing rather well at the moment. If Wei Zhao dies, there'll be no one left for us to counterfeit. So don't refine it too fast; wait until his side has just about finished its upgrades, then do away with him. Without Wei Zhao backing them, the Liu Group will have nothing left to fear—we can simply go and seize it by force," Patriarch Xuanchen said.
"That makes sense. Then I'll go look into it," Kang Jingming said with a nod.
After Wei Zhao finished all of this, he returned to his room. Han Jingyi had slept for a while and now woke up. Looking at Han Jingyi, who wore Liu Jinghan's face, Wei Zhao did not even know what to call her anymore.
"Jingjing, are you Liu Jinghan or Han Jingyi?" Wei Zhao looked at Liu Jinghan—sleepy-eyed, adorable, and utterly guileless—and found it very hard to connect her with that shrewd, capable, brilliant young businesswoman.
"Both! Liu Jinghan's childhood name is Jingjing too. Jingjing even dropped you hints, but Brother Wei Zhao never thought in that direction!" Han Jingyi said. "And there's the car I drive—Han Jingyi's car and Liu Jinghan's car are exactly the same, and Brother Wei Zhao wasn't even curious about that."
"Honestly, I was curious. I even imagined the two of you as one person. But your looks are too far apart, and your voices are different too. By the way, how did you change your voice?" Wei Zhao asked, somewhat curious.
"Changing my voice is easy! Don't forget, Jingjing even invented a grade-one automatic pill cauldron—what's so hard about inventing a voice changer?" Han Jingyi said, as though it were only natural. "As for my looks... actually, Jingjing was wearing a Thousand-Silk Mask!"
As she spoke, Han Jingyi wiped a hand across her face, and the face that had been Liu Jinghan's became Han Jingyi's! Looking at the familiar features before him, Wei Zhao sighed and said, "This is much easier on the eyes. Liu Jinghan is a beauty too, but I still think Jingjing looks better."
"It's all the same anyway!" Han Jingyi said indifferently. "Whatever appearance Brother Wei Zhao likes Jingjing to have, Jingjing will have!"
"Jingjing, are you deliberately acting cute in front of me? Liu Jinghan doesn't have your personality at all, does she?" Hearing Han Jingyi's voice, Wei Zhao could not help but smile.
"It's Liu Jinghan that's the act!" Han Jingyi shook her head. "Actually, this is Jingjing's true personality. Jingjing doesn't much care for business matters; Jingjing prefers researching science and technology."
"All right, but your rank as a pill refiner should have been there all along, shouldn't it? How did I never notice?" Wei Zhao asked.
"Huh? Actually, when Jingjing is in Liu Jinghan's state, I never hid my cultivation rank at all. But from the look of it, Brother Wei Zhao simply never thought along those lines, did you?" Han Jingyi said, a little puzzled. "Though Jingjing never made a point of showing it off either—maybe Brother Wei Zhao just overlooked it."
