He thought for a moment, then asked, "So what is the current strategy of the Federation?"
Bai Zhi's father smiled and said, "These so-called factions actually only exist among us nobles. An unwritten rule prevents the Federation's official or civilian theories and lines from being included in our discussions."
"Of course, within our nobility, there's definitely a name for the Federation's line: [Extreme Conservative Faction]. Prohibit communication between humans and demigods. Treat every demigod's arrival as a dire threat. Exterminate all demigods that arrive. Isolate demigods outside of Ling Mountain, and strive to cultivate as many masters as possible to completely solve the demigod problem."
After listening to Bai Zhi's father's explanation, Fang Ze, though still undecided about these factions, discovered many interesting things.
For example… perhaps due to racial differences, the Federation officials are very wary of demigods. The mainstream thought among various departments is to go head-to-head with demigods. This indeed influenced Fang Ze to a certain extent: he has always believed that the two races should be in a life-and-death struggle.
For example… the nobility might have a higher acceptance of demigods because of shared origins. So they're not at the stage of shouting to kill, but rather considering what demigods can bring to humans, the possibility of coexistence between humans and demigods, or using demigods to achieve their goals.
Due to insufficient information, Fang Ze doesn't know right or wrong about these thoughts. He decided to temporarily keep everything to himself, planning to understand it in more detail later. But he did figure out why He Weidao didn't inform the Jiang and Bai families about Councilor Huang in advance.
Given the nobles' ambiguous attitude towards demigods, if he really told them, who knows if someone would inform...
While pondering these thoughts, Fang Ze also reflected on his own situation.
He realized that his current state is quite strange.
He seems to be human. But... he indeed received the recognition of World Origin and became a noble.
Yet, despite becoming a noble... he didn't seem to have undergone species conversion like other nobles.
So for a while, he couldn't figure out what he really is. Part of the demigod race? Human? Or does he have to wait until he breaks through to demigod status to undergo species conversion?
Fang Ze was a bit confused.
At times, he even really wanted to have a child to verify his identity.
That's how a meal ended amidst the casual chat of three people.
Fang Ze originally thought Jiang Cheng's father went through all this trouble and invited him out, definitely wanting to talk more.
But he didn't. After stating his thoughts and not receiving Fang Ze's approval, he stopped talking, silently ate his meal, as if he wasn't the one arranging the gathering.
On the contrary, Bai Zhi's father kept chatting enthusiastically with Fang Ze, asking many questions about Bai Zhi's work at the Security Bureau.
Thus the meal ended. Fang Ze felt the atmosphere at the table was too bizarre, so he really wanted to find an excuse to leave.
Before he found an excuse, a ready-made one came: the female assistant director contacted him, saying there was an urgent matter at the Security Bureau, requiring him to return immediately.
The timing of this order was perfect, so Fang Ze took the opportunity to apologize to the two and said goodbye.
Regarding Fang Ze's departure, the family heads of Jiang and Bai showed different reactions; Jiang Cheng's father lightly nodded, while Bai Zhi's father seemed regretful. However, after arranging the next visit to Bai's residence, Bai Zhi's father agreed to let Fang Ze leave first.
Hence, Fang Ze took his leave from Shenfeng Pavilion, leaving the family heads of the Jiang and Bai families in the room.
After Fang Ze left, Bai Zhi's father carefully examined the tea leaves in his hand for a while, then casually spoke, "How's it? Any results?"
Upon hearing Bai Zhi's father's question, Jiang Cheng's father did not immediately respond. He called out expressionlessly, "Tian Cha."
With his words, a black shadow silently appeared before the two. He knelt on one knee, saluted Jiang Cheng's father, and said, "Family Head. No trace of the Young Master's aura was found on Fang Ze."
On hearing the black shadow's words, Bai Zhi's father visibly relaxed somewhat, he glanced proudly at Jiang Cheng's father and said, "Didn't I tell you? Fang Ze has been very busy these past few days. Moreover, he's only at the Fusion stage, his situation has nothing to do with your son's disappearance."

"You didn't believe me and insisted on calling him to verify it. Now, are you convinced?"
Upon hearing Bai Zhi's father's words, Jiang Cheng's father rarely showed a smile; he nodded and said, "Indeed, I wronged Fang Ze."
"After all, he had a grudge against Cheng'er before. Now he's carrying the Public Instrument, apprehending Council Members, I'm just worried."
Upon hearing Jiang Cheng's father's words, Bai Zhi's father chuckled and said, "Alright, the misunderstanding is cleared up. No need to use schemes to call him out anymore."
Saying this, Bai Zhi's father stretched lazily, stood up, and said, "I've heard from Luan before that the child is nice. After meeting him today, I truly like him, especially his appearance, a perfect match for Bai Zhi, not resembling the Si family at all. If he can be my son-in-law, it would be great."
"Moreover, it's his first meeting and he gifted me such a valuable present. As an elder, I should reciprocate."
"It's just as well he needs a residence in the Provincial Government, I'll select a villa for him."
Saying this, he picked up the tea leaves, waved to Jiang Cheng's father and said, "I'm leaving."
His departure was gallant, but... what he didn't see was, upon turning his back, the expression on Jiang Cheng's father's face slowly darkened.
Jiang Cheng's father looked expressionlessly at the black shadow kneeling on the ground, inquiring with his gaze.
The black shadow cautiously glanced at Bai Zhi's father, ensuring he couldn't be seen, then slightly nodded.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng's father clenched his fist tightly, slowly gritting his teeth...
'Fang Ze... it really is you....'
....
Meanwhile.
Fang Ze soon found a nearby State Security Bureau entrance, then transmitted to the State Security Bureau through a convenience store refrigerator.
He arrived at the top floor, to the female director's office.
Fang Ze had just started to greet when the assistant walked out with a smile.
She guided Fang Ze towards the office, whispering to Fang Ze, "Special Service Department has confirmed Councilor Huang's identity. The Chairperson is furious, ordering all Council Members to convene at the Provincial Government."
"But the meeting is a facade; the main purpose is for you to conduct screening."
