"Both of them have top-tier Spiritual Aptitude?"
"Ling'er, are you sure?"
Upon hearing Zhao Ling'er's words, Zhao Qingzhi asked in disbelief.
The rarity of Spiritual Aptitude had already become evident to Zhao Qingzhi in the past few days.
He had visited several Aristocratic Families and initially thought that, just like the Yao Family, these families would have at least some individuals with Spiritual Aptitude.
However, none of the Aristocratic Families he visited had anyone with Spiritual Aptitude.
This made him realize that the examples of Yao Lai and Yao Zi'er were likely just coincidences.
Spiritual Aptitude was not something easily found.
He hadn't even come across anyone with lower-level Spiritual Aptitude.
Now, Zhao Ling'er was saying that both of her close friends had Spiritual Aptitude, and both had top-tier Spiritual Aptitude—how could Zhao Qingzhi not be shocked?
"The Identity Jade Plate shows it, how could I not be sure?"
Zhao Ling'er smiled as she replied.
"Alright, alright."
"Ling'er, your judgment really is impressive, far beyond your grandfather's. I know many people, but up until now, aside from Yao Lai, none of them have Spiritual Aptitude."
"And you, with so few friends, yet both of your best friends have top-tier Spiritual Aptitude."
After hearing Zhao Ling'er's confirmation, Zhao Qingzhi smiled.
"My judgment is naturally good."
"Grandpa, we're about to board the plane, do you have anything else to say? If not, I'll hang up now."
Zhao Ling'er said to Zhao Qingzhi.
"No, you go ahead and board the plane."
Zhao Qingzhi responded.
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
"Ling'er, she's so clever, she should have understood the hidden meaning in my words, right?"
After hanging up, Zhao Qingzhi silently thought to himself.
He had just used his own example, praising Zhao Ling'er's judgment as being far better than his own, and aside from complimenting her, there was a hidden message in what he said.
That was, he had introduced Yao Lai and Yao Zi'er, and had forged an alliance between Yao Family and Zhao Family, with Zhao Family as the leader.
Now, with Zhao Ling'er intending to introduce Luo Wan'er and Sheng Minglan, both top-tier Spiritual Aptitude holders, it was crucial not to waste this opportunity. He must ensure that Luo Wan'er and Sheng Minglan were brought under Zhao Ling'er's influence.
In the future, if the three top-tier Spiritual Aptitude holders—Luo Wan'er, Sheng Minglan, and Zhao Ling'er—became united, they would undoubtedly hold the highest position in Kunlun, regardless of how many members Kunlun had.
Naturally, Zhao Ling'er understood the hidden meaning in Zhao Qingzhi's words.
However, while she understood, she wouldn't intentionally try to coerce Luo Wan'er and Sheng Minglan.
They were incredibly close friends, and she didn't need to be manipulative. Doing so would only strain their relationship.
Their friendship should be natural, and that was the best.
Ding ding ding.
Not long after Zhao Ling'er hung up, Sheng Minglan's phone also vibrated.
The caller ID showed the same name as Zhao Ling'er's—her grandfather, Sheng Kuixuan, the current head of the Sheng Family, one of the oldest Aristocratic Families.
"Ling'er, this time I'm really here to hold you accountable."
Looking at the caller ID, Sheng Minglan sighed and turned to Zhao Ling'er.
"It's alright, my grandfather knows that after you learned about your top-tier Spiritual Aptitude, he's definitely going to contact Old Master Sheng."
"When Old Master Sheng learns about Kunlun, any reproach he has now will turn into praise."
Zhao Ling'er smiled as she reassured Sheng Minglan.
"That's true."
Hearing Zhao Ling'er's words, Sheng Minglan nodded and then answered the phone.
"Minglan, you need to return to the Sheng Family immediately and cut off all ties with that Zhao Family girl."
"Only then can you protect yourself."
"Otherwise, Zhou Family will definitely target you. Although Zhou Yan's injury wasn't caused by you, Zhou Family won't think that way. They'll say you were the one who blocked him and wasted time. If you hadn't stopped him, Zhou Yan would have taken the person and never met Zhao Family's girl."
Sheng Kuixuan's voice was heavy when he spoke, as soon as Sheng Minglan answered the call.
"Old Master Sheng, am I still here? You want me to cut ties with Minglan?"
Before Sheng Minglan could speak, Zhao Ling'er interjected.
"Miss Zhao, you should understand the principle of self-preservation. If Minglan wants to stay safe, she has to do this."
"And as for you, it's best that you leave Tiandu City immediately. If you don't leave now, it may be too late."
Sheng Kuixuan said in a calm tone after hearing Zhao Ling'er's words.
"Grandpa, I'm going back to Tianhai City with Ling'er."
Sheng Minglan suddenly spoke up when Sheng Kuixuan finished.
"Huh? Going to Tianhai City?"
"Are you saying that Sheng Family can't protect you, so you want to go to Zhao Family to be sheltered?"
Sheng Kuixuan's tone turned cold.
"Of course not. I'm going to Tianhai City because there's a huge opportunity waiting for me."
"Grandpa, this opportunity can not only change my fate but also the fate of the Sheng Family."
"What this opportunity is, I can't explain right now, but Old Master Zhao will contact you soon. When that happens, you'll understand."
Sheng Minglan said.
"A huge opportunity that can change both your fate and Sheng Family's?"
"Minglan, are you out of your mind? What kind of opportunity in the world can change your fate and Sheng Family's fate?"
Sheng Kuixuan didn't believe Sheng Minglan's words at all.
"Grandpa, you'll understand soon. I'm about to board the plane, so I'll hang up now. Goodbye, Grandpa."
Sheng Minglan explained quickly before hanging up.
"Ling'er, this is the first time I've hung up on Old Master Sheng. Kunlun and Mr. Ye, it better be real."
After hanging up the phone, Sheng Minglan turned to Zhao Ling'er, looking slightly worried.
"Don't worry, by the time we get off the plane, your grandfather will definitely call you. By then, his attitude toward you will change drastically."
Zhao Ling'er said with a smile.
"Mm, I'll be waiting."
Sheng Minglan nodded repeatedly.
