Chapter 2994

Yan Xiwan stood to the side with a gentle smile, listening to the father and son talk. She did not interrupt their conversation.

Father Ouyang looked at the quiet Yan Xiwan. "Xiwan, do you plan to start a new project next year?"

"Yes. I can pause the research on common medicines. I plan to study drugs for right-brain development next year. I already have some ideas, but I need more testing," Yan Xiwan said seriously.

She never let others know about these experiments. In her daily work, she supervised graduate students, so they only did common drug tests. For special projects, Yan Xiwan went to the special laboratory in the institute alone.

Father Ouyang looked at Yan Xiwan for a long time. "You want to study drugs for right-brain development?"

Yan Xiwan nodded. "Yes."

Father Ouyang was speechless. "Are you two trying to scare me on purpose today?"

"No," Ouyang Tianyun and Yan Xiwan said. As a couple, they both looked innocent at the same time.

"We have important things to report to you, Dad. This way, you won't worry too much."

Father Ouyang felt that Ouyang Tianyun was definitely lying when he said that.

"Tell me. You are not just telling me this about Base 13, are you?" Father Ouyang asked.

Ouyang Tianyun said, "We need people."

"People?" Father Ouyang’s face became serious.

Although Ouyang Tianyun and Yan Xiwan were not reckless, Father Ouyang was still worried when it came to people.

Ordinary people could not be used. If they were selected, they must be elites.

If the experiment succeeded, it was fine. But if it failed, these elites would be ruined.

Father Ouyang could give them much support, but he had to think carefully about personnel support. "Can you ensure their safety if I give you people?"

Ouyang Tianyun nodded directly. "My part is absolutely no problem. As long as their submitted information is true, there will be no issues."

Yan Xiwan smiled gently. "Dad, I have tested this drug on myself."

"You said you would research it next year?" Father Ouyang was shocked. "Are you okay after taking it?"

"Yes, it is very good. My memory has improved. Currently, I can remember everything I see. The effect is still expanding. The drug lasts for ten years. How much the right brain develops depends on the person's experience."

Yan Xiwan said seriously, "I said I would research the project next year, but I have actually done it privately. However, this project was not reported, so I can only report it next year."

It takes time to move secret matters into the open.

Father Ouyang nodded slightly, indicating he understood. "I will consider the people you need. After all, people are not lab rats. I need to discuss this with some others."

Yan Xiwan and Ouyang Tianyun naturally knew this, so they nodded to show they understood.

Actually, when Father Ouyang said he would consider it, it basically meant he agreed. But these words could not be said casually.

Yan Xiwan and Ouyang Tianyun spent the night at the Ouyang house and returned to their own home the next day.

Although they did not stay up all night at their own home, they still needed to clean up. They pasted door couplets and hung lanterns to celebrate.

Yan Xiwan even cut some window paper-cuts and pasted them up.

When everything was ready, Ouyang Tianyun came over. He hugged Yan Xiwan’s waist and looked at their decorations, looking very satisfied. "It is New Year again."

"Yes. I will be twenty-one after this New Year," Yan Xiwan smiled.

"You are growing up." Ouyang Tianyun pulled Yan Xiwan to sit down. "After you release the powder you developed next year, what are your plans?"

"What plans could I have?" Yan Xiwan asked casually.

Ouyang Tianyun said, "Your cultivation has stopped at the late stage of the Golden Core. First, there is almost no spiritual energy left in this world. Second, your experience is not enough, and your mindset has not improved fast enough. That is why your cultivation cannot go higher."

Yan Xiwan tilted her head and thought. It seemed true. "What do you mean?"

Ouyang Tianyun said, "Have you forgotten your identity? You are the little princess of the Yanluo Realm. In my opinion, you should go out and walk around when you have time. It would also be good to catch a few souls if you get the chance."

Yan Xiwan looked at Ouyang Tianyun. "Hehe. I want to go, but can I? Now, whenever I go out, there are countless bodyguards, both visible and hidden. Do you think I am stupid to take them with me to catch souls?"

Ouyang Tianyun said, "That makes sense. Then how about we leave in a few years, when the time is right?"

Of course, Ouyang Tianyun’s "leaving" did not mean leaving this plane of existence, but retiring from public life.

"That is not impossible, but not yet," Yan Xiwan said. She knew this was the best method.

Ouyang Tianyun said, "Since that is the case, we must plan carefully in these coming years."

Actually, for both Ouyang Tianyun and Yan Xiwan, the most important part of their plan was to cultivate some talents.

On New Year's Eve, Ouyang Tianyun accompanied Yan Xiwan to the Yan family for the New Year.

That night, the Yan Zhicheng family, along with Ouyang Tianyun and Yan Xiwan, returned to the Yan family for the New Year.

The Yan Zhixin family and Yan Zhishan, as team members, spent the New Year in their team. However, they would return the next day.

"Auntie, where is the lucky money?" Xiaomaixiang asked Yan Xiwan for lucky money before the New Year's Eve dinner even started.

"Xiaomaixiang, we haven't eaten the New Year's Eve dinner yet, and you are already asking for lucky money?" Yan Xiwan poked Xiaomaixiang’s nose, but she generously took out a red envelope for her.

"Here, your red envelope."

"Thank you, Auntie. You are the most beautiful auntie in the world." Xiaomaixiang’s mouth was really very sweet.

"I wonder whose sweet mouth you got from." Yan Xiwan and the others laughed loudly.

"From you," Yan Zhicheng said. "You were very sweet-mouthed when you were little. Grandpa and Grandma, and Great-Grandma were all there, and they all doted on you."

"Actually, Grandpa and Grandma did not just dote on me. They doted on the only girl born in four generations of the Yan family," Yan Xiwan said with a smile.

"But now there is a second girl, Maixiang."

Yan Zhicheng laughed too. "The status of girls in our Yan family is definitely higher than us boys."

"Boys are just smelly brats. Girls are so fragrant. Good, I like girls too." Yan Tieniu rubbed the head of Xiaomaixiang, who had come to his side.
