Lu Mingfei, why are you slaying dragons if you're not involved!

Chapter 93 Senior brother has urgent business, let Su Xiaoqiang take you home.

"Become...a disciple?"

Lu Mingfei, whose vision was somewhat blurred, murmured.

He wondered if he had misheard. Didn't Teacher Zhang say before that he wouldn't take on apprentices?
"That's right, that's right."

Teacher Zhang nodded repeatedly, her face beaming with smiles.

At this moment, he was no longer the imposing one-armed man who dared to face off against a pure-blooded dragon of the next generation alone. The way he looked at Lu Mingfei was as if he were looking at a gold mine waiting to be discovered.

"Of course, if you really don't want to, we can just have the title of master and disciple. If anyone asks, just say that you studied under me for a period of time and then graduated... I'll still teach you whatever you want to learn, so it won't affect your ability to find other masters. How about that?"

"Of course you can... but Teacher Zhang, I'm a little worried that if you do this, the sect will find out and think it's a disgrace to the sect, and send people down the mountain to expel us from the sect..." Lu Mingfei complained.

These conditions are beyond just being lenient; you could even call them "humble and subservient"!
"Don't worry, the sect leader is my senior brother, I have very strong connections!"

Teacher Zhang narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"You probably don't know how close my relationship with my senior brother is. Let me put it this way, he supports me just as much as your senior brother Chu supports you!"

"That's pretty solid..."

Lu Mingfei answered subconsciously, then paused, realizing that... Teacher Zhang had just noticed Chu Zihang's intention?
Indeed, how could a grandmaster of Tai Chi not sense the movements of a cold-blooded killer?

But it's not good to talk about this in the open... Lu Mingfei's eyes darted around.

"Master! Now that I've become your disciple, I should at least know how to address you, right?"

The meaning behind these words is quite clear—if someone calls you "Master," then you are considered a father for life.

A master certainly can't make things difficult for his disciple's best friend. Chu Zihang's seriousness in "sharpening his knife against his own people" is extremely bad, while his vagueness can be seen as "eager to save his brother." This can be resolved by turning a big problem into a small one and a small problem into nothing.

Furthermore, Lu Mingfei genuinely wanted to become an apprentice!

He taught me for less than three hours and I gained 200 proficiency points in Tai Chi, instantly leveling up to LV2. Such a Tai Chi master is absolutely top-tier; you couldn't find one even with a lantern. Now that he's come knocking, how could I let him slip away?

“Oh, my Taoist name is Shanfeng. Since we’re just going through the motions, I won’t go into details about my lineage, Taoist temple, or secular name. Just call me Teacher Zhang.” Zhang Shanfeng said.

Lu Mingfei was stunned: "Zhang Sanfeng?"

"If it weren't for Master Zhang Sanfeng, how could I possibly have that ability? It's the 'mountain' in 'mountain' and the 'wind' in 'riding the wind'."

Zhang Shanfeng's casual explanation clearly indicated that there had been several previous misunderstandings.

"Oh……"

Lu Mingfei finally breathed a sigh of relief and had the mind to focus on another issue that concerned him, "Teacher Zhang, you only want the title of master and disciple... what do you want to do with it?"

He had been so humble before, but after I agreed, he became careless and casual, which made Lu Mingfei very strange—was it really just the master-disciple relationship that mattered?
"Ahem, Mingfei, have you ever heard of... training courses?"

Zhang Shanfeng cleared his throat and said in a low voice.

“Every year after the top scorer in the college entrance examination is announced, some tutoring centers will go to the top scorer's home and pay them to claim that they were tutored at their home. This way, more people will go to them for tutoring, and they can then justifiably raise their tuition fees…”

Lu Mingfei's eyes widened: "Isn't this... a scam?"

"Hey, that's not quite right! I'm asking you, am I a good teacher or not?"

"high!"

"Am I good at real combat?"

"hard!"

"Since I'm tall and strong, why shouldn't I take this money?"

"That's right!" Lu Mingfei suddenly realized.

"Besides, the fees I collect are all from part-time workers at Kassel College. Don't you know who funds Kassel College? It's the Secret Service, full of rich foreigners, big capitalists! I'm just using my skills to fleece them!"

Zhang Shanfeng spoke with great enthusiasm.

"Do you know why I made you say you're my apprentice? It's because you're incredibly talented! So talented that even with normal teaching methods, your progress is practically outrageous."

When I return to Kassel College, I'll open a special tutoring program. I still won't take on apprentices, but I'll publicly declare that I'll teach you at the same level as I did before. The better you perform, the higher my fees will be, and the more people will be willing to pay..."

"Master, your business acumen is truly masterful!"

Lu Mingfei was completely convinced. [Warning: It's time for the [homecoming] plan...]

……

Lu Mingfei, who was too weak to get up, was eventually helped away by Chu Zihang.

Ye Sheng naturally didn't get a break; he had already graduated and become a working man, and working overtime until dawn was the norm.

"Teacher Zhang, what are the next steps?"

"While there's no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days, the enemy is currently in the dark while we are in the light, so we can only act passively... At least we've confirmed that the other side has the possibility of communication, so the danger isn't too high. We'll just show our sincerity and wait."

Zhang Shanfeng stood by the window, gazing at the night view below.

"Actually, I'm more worried about Xiang Yu's mausoleum now. You should have noticed it too, right? My words of power have changed."

"I thought it was because you had trained so well..." Ye Sheng was also a person who knew how to joke.

"Haha, I'm not naturally gifted enough to reach this level through training alone. This change is due to the huge gains I mentioned, which make losing a left hand insignificant in comparison."

Zhang Shanfeng chuckled and said.

“But I have a feeling there’s something even more valuable inside… How could the Dragon King’s tomb be so simple? But now everything is buried, and we still need to worry about the intervention of outside forces. Those greedy guys won’t mind taking a share.”

"We have applied to our superiors for stricter visa issuance during this period, so that at least a large number of people can be screened out."

Ye Sheng said, "There are other control measures in place... and protective facilities are also under construction near the mausoleum."

"Well, I'm at ease with you doing the job!"

Zhang Shanfeng patted Ye Sheng on the shoulder to encourage him.

"This should have been your job..." Ye Sheng smiled helplessly.

"I've lost an arm and need to rest for a while, so you have to be understanding of a seriously injured person. Besides, young people should take advantage of their youth to train more and accumulate work experience..."

Ye Sheng hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping himself—who was it that just said losing a hand was nothing to worry about!

At this moment, Zhang Shanfeng suddenly exclaimed "Huh?" and pointed downstairs: "Why is it a girl helping Lu Mingfei out?"

Ye Sheng initially thought Zhang Shanfeng was trying to change the subject, but then he glanced over there...

"Really? I think I've seen that girl before, her name should be..."

Ye Sheng's expression was strange.

"Su Xiaoqiang!"

……

"I suddenly remembered that I had an urgent matter and needed to use the car."

Chu Zihang said expressionlessly, "I probably won't be able to take you back."

"Senior brother, don't you think your lie is both awkward and rushed..." Lu Mingfei turned his head and asked weakly.

The icy, expressionless senior completely ignored Lu Mingfei's words. He was convinced that what he said was correct, maintaining his usual expressionless face and flat tone...

That's exactly right. If the situation were different, Lu Mingfei might actually have thought that Chu Zihang had something urgent to attend to.

But if you add the beautiful girl who was equally surprised and stunned not far away, then this is absolutely a complete lie!

That's Su Xiaoqiang.

"Is this Su Xiaoqiang? Could you please take Lu Mingfei home again?" Chu Zihang nodded to Su Xiaoqiang.

His flat tone and cold eyes left no room for refusal!
If Lu Mingfei hadn't already known Chu Zihang so well, he wouldn't have suspected that this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes could lie.

"Great, Senior Brother Chu!"

After recovering from the unexpected encounter, Su Xiaoqiang agreed and gave Lu Mingfei a sweet smile.

"I happen to have something I want to talk to him about."
