As Sheng Yuanhao disembarked from one plane, Sheng Jing opened the cabin door of the other.

The two men stood tens of meters apart, gazing at each other from a distance.

Then, they simultaneously looked away, pretending not to have noticed each other, and walked off in opposite directions.

Since both of them were arranged by Sheng Mingtang to come here to capture Hua Shifang and the others, they were openly competing against each other. Besides, this wasn’t the Sheng family’s residence, so there was no need to maintain any illusion of brotherly affection.

Here, it was every man for himself, to see who could bring back the person Sheng Mingtang wanted first.

Sheng Mingtang was already over eighty years old. Even if he had great ambitions and was reluctant to give up power, it was time to hand over the reins.

They had a premonition that within a year at most, Sheng Mingtang might choose a successor from among the eight brothers.

This was one of their few chances to impress him with their abilities and gain favor, a chance they couldn’t afford to miss.

“Go find out where those people are staying now,” Sheng Yuanhao adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and ordered his assistant, who was carrying a suitcase.

The assistant quickly nodded, “Yes, Young Master!”

On the other side, Sheng Jing and his follower, Chen Fei, retrieved their luggage but didn’t rush to leave. Instead, they took a moment at the airport to check the location of Divine Physician Sect on their phones.

Chen Fei inquired, “Young Master, where are we heading now?”

“Let’s book a hotel first.” Sheng Jing operated his phone swiftly and soon reserved two rooms at a hotel near Divine Physician Sect.

He understood that the current moment, just after Hua Shifang and the others had returned from the Sheng family, was when they would be most vigilant. Recklessly making a move now might not benefit him at all. After all, this was the Imperial Capital, their territory, not the Sheng family’s. As confident as he was, he wouldn’t forget the saying, ‘A dragon does not crush a local snake.’

Knowing oneself and the enemy is key to winning every battle. He intended to ensure victory in every move, not giving them a chance to react, and to swiftly return them to the Sheng family.

Therefore, he hadn’t instructed the pilot of the previous plane to return to the Sheng family; instead, they remained on standby here, ready to return at any moment.
