“Pfft…”


    Upon hearing Hong Changqing’s remark, Maxton erupted into uncontrobleughter.


    Hong Changqing, noticing Maxton’s amusement, felt his face redden with irritation. He repeatedly questioned, “What’s so funny? Why are youughing?”


    Seeing the fierce re in Hong Changqing’s eyes, Maxton quickly managed to stifle hisughter and lowered his head, saying, “I apologize, Master. I just couldn’t hold it in…”


    Then, with a serious tone, he added, “But honestly, I consider myself fortunate. Even though Mr. Charlie also sealed my meridians, he didn’t cause my cultivation to regress…”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Hong Changqing rubbed his temples in exasperation, waving his hand dismissively. “Let’s forget about that for now. When you see Master Wade, make sure to tell him the whole story and its consequences! I will also share my thoughts with Master Wade. Starting tomorrow, our training here will officially begin, and I intend to demonstrate mymitment through action.” Maxton nodded and inquired,


    “Master, what about the other disciples of Taizhen Dao? I’m eager for your guidance.”


    With a sigh, Hong Changqing replied, “As a teacher, I’m at a loss regarding that matter… It’s best to let him decide after meeting Master Wade…”


    Without hesitation, Maxton dered, “Alright, all the disciples will follow your lead, Master.”


    Hong Changqing shot her a stern look before continuing, “Maxton, we’ve agreed that if Mr. Charlie is willing to ept Taizhen Dao, you must step into the role of its leader. I will officially pass the position to you in front of all the Taizhen Dao disciples, but the topic of the medicine cauldron must never be brought up again. Do you agree?” Maxton readily assented, responding, “


    Of course, Master! As long as Mr. Charlie can take Taizhen Dao under his wing, I’ll take the me for you regarding the cauldron!”


    Hong Changqing sighed in relief, saying, “Alright! It’s settled!”


    Before long, Maxton found herself in Hong Changqing’s residence. Under his guidance, they made their way along the Panshan Highway to the Banshan Vi.


    At present, the entire Mid-Levels vi had been repurchased, with Charlie being the sole upant among the vast array of vis.


    As they arrived at the entrance of Charlie’s vi, they found the courtyard gate already open.


    The two stepped out of the car and walked into the courtyard, where the main entrance of the vi was also wide open.


    Hong Changqing approached the door but hesitated to enter directly. Instead, he stood outside and knocked, calling out, “Master Wade, are you there? This is your subordinate Hong Changqing, along with the viin Maxton, seeking an audience…” Upon hearing Hong Changqing refer to himself as ‘viin,’ Maxton wrinkled her nose at him, but Hong Changqing pretended not to notice, turning his face away.


    In truth, Hong Changqing wasn’t genuinely angry. After all, he had known Maxton for many years and considered her his goddaughter. He was well aware of her fiery temperament but had grown ustomed to it over time.<fn909d> ???s ??????? ?s ?????? ?? FindN()vel</fn909d>


    At that moment, Charlie was in the living room, tidying up the oral liquid filling equipment. Compared to the fully automatic filling line at Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical, his semi-automatic production line, which only produced counterfeit medicines, was significantly less advanced. Although there were no major issues with the filling process, there were a lot of leftovers after packaging.


    Upon hearing Hong Changqing’s request to see him, Charlie casually replied from within.


    This prompted Hong Changqing and Maxton to step into the living room. As they entered, they exchanged nces at the sight of Charlie working on the filling equipment. It was Hong Changqing who broke the silence first, saying, “Master Wade, Maxton hase to see you.”


    Charlie looked up, a smile spreading across his face as he noticed Maxton’s nervousness. “Miss Maxton, it’s great to see you again,” he weed her warmly.


    Feeling flustered, Maxton stammered, “Hello, Mr. Charlie! I’m Maxton, and it’s a pleasure to meet you!”


    Even before stepping inside, Maxton’s heart raced, and her nerves were on high alert.<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
