Only now did he reflect a bit, wondering if his chess skills were truly that bad.

No wonder Old Master Lu would always get so frustrated playing chess with him and argue non-stop.

If Old Master Lu knew that Old Master An finally had a bit of self-awareness, he might cry tears of joy.

Of course, Old Master Lu used to humor Old Master An.

After all, at that time, Old Master An was in poor health, had no friends, and was too lazy to go out and make new ones. Seeing Old Master An so pitiable, Old Master Lu was willing to spend more time with him.

Otherwise, with his busy schedule as the president of the Art Association, where would he have found the time to play chess with him?

Hua Shifang also put down his chess piece.

Wen Heng, feeling guilty, greeted Hua Shifang and Sun Chan, then explained his current situation.

“Since you can control your body for half the time, stay here to recover.”

Hua Shifang meant that if Wen Heng’s body was still completely controlled by Nolan, he wouldn’t allow him to stay here.

Last time, Nolan, using Wen Heng’s identity, deceived Sun Chan and Fu Yubai, resulting in Fu Yubai almost losing his life.

Given Nolan’s previous heinous and bloody deeds, if it weren’t for the fact that he was occupying his second disciple’s body, Hua Shifang would have felt compelled to take action.

Wen Heng quickly said, “Master, I will correct my behavior and remain steadfast, no longer under Nolan’s control.”

“That’s for the best.”

Shen Junqing and Bai Chen, both patients, didn’t have much affection for their new fellow patient.

But considering that he was Nan Yan’s second brother, and all three of them were in wheelchairs, they maintained a superficial peace.

After having lunch in the courtyard, Nan Yan went back to find Qin Lu.

Qin Lu hadn’t contacted her since he left, which worried her. She feared Qin Lu had encountered a problem…

At the Imperial Capital Airport.

A rather peculiar-looking plane slowly landed.

Another plane, almost right behind it, landed on an adjacent tarmac.

When Sheng Yuanhang disembarked from his plane, Sheng Jing had just opened the cabin door of his.

The two of them looked at each other from a distance of several dozen meters.

Then they simultaneously averted their gazes, pretending not to see each other, and walked away in opposite directions.

Since both were sent by Sheng Mingtang to capture Hua Shifang and the others, they were obvious competitors. Moreover, this wasn’t the Sheng family residence, so there was no need to maintain a pretense of brotherly affection.

Here, it was all about their abilities and who could bring back the people Sheng Mingtang wanted first.

Sheng Mingtang was already over eighty. No matter how ambitious or reluctant to relinquish power he was, it was time for him to step down.

They had a feeling that within a year, Sheng Mingtang might choose one of them as his successor.

This was one of their few opportunities to demonstrate their capabilities and win his favor, and they couldn’t afford to miss it.

“Find out where those people are staying now,” Sheng Yuanhang ordered his assistant, who was carrying his luggage, with a slight adjustment of his gold-rimmed glasses.

The assistant quickly lowered his head and responded, “Yes, Young Master!”

On the other side, Sheng Jing and his follower, Chen Fei, also grabbed their luggage but didn’t rush to leave.

Instead, they first opened their phones at the airport to check the location of the Divine Physician Sect.

Chen Fei asked, “Third Young Master, where are we going now?”

“First, book a hotel.” Sheng Jing operated his phone, quickly booking two rooms at a hotel near the Divine Physician Sect.

He knew that Hua Shifang and the others had just returned from the Sheng family and were on high alert.

If they acted rashly, even he might not benefit from it.

After all, this was the Imperial Capital, their territory, not the Sheng family’s.

No matter how confident he was, he wouldn’t forget the term, “Home advantage.”

Besides, knowing oneself and the enemy is the key to a hundred battles.

He wanted to make a winning move, not giving them a chance to react, and to take them back to the Sheng family as quickly as possible.

So, he hadn’t let the pilot return to the Sheng family. The plane was on standby, ready to return at any time.

After taking a taxi to the hotel he had booked online, the two arranged their check-in and freshened up. Only then did Chen Fei come to find Sheng Jing.

“Third Young Master, they haven’t seen me before. Should I go to the Divine Physician Sect to scout first?”

Chen Fei’s suggestion made Sheng Jing ponder.

After careful consideration, Sheng Jing thoughtfully said, “That could work. Besides scouting the Divine Physician Sect, also gather information around the area to see if you can learn anything important about the sect.”
