Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five.

Following Brother Liu...is that really a good way to train someone?

This question couldn't help but come to Zhang Chulan's mind.

He thought back to his time in North China; although Brother Liu had taught him a lot, it hadn't brought about such a significant change in him...

...

"Stay here, have dinner... Tomorrow I will teach you the advanced method of Five Thunder."

The old master looked at Zhang Chulan, who was puzzled not far away, and spoke up.

Hearing the old master's words, everyone had no objections and nodded in agreement.

...

Time passed slowly, and soon night fell.

Zhou Fengliu, Zhang Lingyu, and several other younger members of the family followed the old Celestial Master to have dinner.

Fortunately, Zhang Lingyu behaved well today, so he was allowed to have dinner tonight.

Looking at the food on the table, and sitting in his master's courtyard eating with him, Zhang Lingyu finally felt the feeling of being at home before he was driven out of the Celestial Master's Mansion by the old Celestial Master.

His tense heart, which had been pounding all day, finally relaxed a little at this moment.

Because Zhou Fengliu and others were present today, the usual two dishes were increased to eight.

Several dishes, each with its own unique color, aroma, and flavor, were laid out on the table, plentiful and delicious.

"Just everyday food, don't mind the frivolousness..."

The old Celestial Master looked at his great benefactor from the Celestial Master's Mansion and said...

Chapter 477 Zhang Chulan: Geneva, Pay Back the Money! (Second Update)

"No way, Master, this dish is so delicious, the color is so appealing."

Zhou Fengliu first answered the old Celestial Master's question, then looked at the seated people and spoke:

"Don't be shy, everyone. Start eating. Here at the Old Master's place feels just like home..."

"?"

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, the younger generation present, including Zhang Lingyu, were all taken aback.

If the old Celestial Master had said this, they would have found it reasonable, but coming from Zhou Fengliu, it sounded somewhat "reversed the Heavenly Order," making it unclear whose house this was...

"Fengliu is right, it feels just like coming home..."

With the old master's words, everyone began to enjoy their meal.

Although these dishes didn't use any expensive ingredients, they became incredibly delicious thanks to the chef's skill. Feng Baobao practically became a rice-eating machine, munching away...

Just as everyone was eating, Zhang Lingyu silently swallowed, his gaze inadvertently glancing at the Old Master's face.

It was clear... he wanted to say something to ease the tension with his master, but he was still trying to think of something...

At that moment, he was like someone doing a standing long jump; lacking the courage to jump, he just kept repeating the arm-swinging motion.

Feng Baobao had already eaten two and a half bowls of rice, but he still hadn't said anything.

Of course.

As Zhang Lingyu's master, the Celestial Master could naturally see what Zhang Lingyu was thinking, but he didn't say anything and just ate and drank as usual.

If Grand Master Lingyu can speak, then speak; if he can't, then keep it to himself... He won't give Zhang Lingyu a way out.

"Master..."

Finally, Zhang Lingyu couldn't hold back any longer, stood up, looked at the Celestial Master, and addressed him as "Master."

"?"

When Zhang Lingyu suddenly stood up, the people who were eating were slightly taken aback.

"Master, I'm sorry..." Zhang Lingyu began to express his feelings.

However, the old master didn't listen to a word he said; it went in one ear and out the other.

Seeing that the old Celestial Master ignored Zhang Lingyu, Zhou Fengliu looked at Zhang Lingyu and said:

"Ayu, please sit down."

"Whatever it is, tell me after you finish eating..."

"I'm afraid my master might disappear from my sight in a moment... so I have to say it..."

Having finally mustered the courage, Zhang Lingyu certainly wouldn't sit down at this moment.

The saying goes, "One should strike while the iron is hot, but the momentum will wane after a second attempt and be completely exhausted after a third." Once he gets past this hurdle, he doesn't know when he'll be able to muster the courage again.

Seeing Zhang Lingyu's stubbornness resurface, Zhou Fengliu sighed and didn't interfere any further.

Zhang Lingyu started to get emotional, but before he could finish, the Old Master couldn't stand it anymore.

As far as the eye could see, the old celestial master casually conjured three golden beams. With a flick of his finger, these three golden beams shot out like bullets, all striking Zhang Lingyu's head.

Don't be fooled by the fact that it's just a tiny golden ray, no bigger than a grain of rice; the power it unleashed from the Old Master's hand is something no ordinary person could withstand.

After the three golden rays struck, Grandmaster Lingyu collapsed to the ground, unconscious, and three large bumps appeared on his forehead.

"It's only been a few months, and Grand Master Lingyu has already learned to be sentimental." After knocking Zhang Lingyu to the ground, the old celestial master spoke expressionlessly.

Looking at Zhang Lingyu lying on the ground, Zhou Fengliu felt that Zhang Lingyu had acted a bit too hastily.

Surely no one really thinks that going up the mountain once will allow them to return to their sect?

Surely no one would actually force someone to agree at the dinner table, in front of so many younger people?

Isn't this just trying to make someone's eyes water?

...

I still need to practice...

Zhou Fengliu rubbed his nose. He thought that if things didn't go well later, he should take Zhang Lingyu to headquarters to train her in interpersonal skills.

"You guys eat, I'm full."

The old master put down his chopsticks, glanced at everyone, and stood up.

He first patted Zhou Fengliu on the shoulder, then slowly returned to his room under the watchful eyes of everyone.

"Junior Uncle...you're really in a bit of a sorry state."

After the old master left, Zhang Chulan checked Zhang Lingyu's condition briefly and, finding that she had simply fainted, let her lie quietly for a while.

"He brought it on himself. It's already a relief if the Old Master doesn't give him a good beating..." Zhou Fengliu said.

"Brother Liu... I saw someone in the industry saying that Qu Tong, the president of Yaoxing Society, died at headquarters?"

Zhang Chulan casually inquired about Zhou Fengliu, an insider.

"Hmm, it seems so. The person you wanted to see... has also been kidnapped."

"..."

Upon hearing Zhou Fengliu's answer, Zhang Chulan was taken aback at first, then said:

"Geneva, give me back my money!"

He said he had spent money to see Ruan Feng, and after returning to North China, he had been waiting for news from Zhou Fengliu, but there had been no word for a long time...

He thought Zhou Fengliu had forgotten, but it turned out... the person had been kidnapped!

Money back?

That's really overthinking.

Once the money has gone into the pocket of the "paying lay Buddhist," there's no way it can be returned.

and many more.

Zhou Fengliu had originally intended to give a vague answer, but then he suddenly remembered something and turned his gaze to Zhang Chulan:

Did you pay?

"I think I just told you a price, but you didn't pay, so why should I get a refund?"

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, Zhang Chulan, who had been somewhat passionate, immediately fell silent.

hiss--

It seems... that's really true.

He had originally planned to give Zhou Fengliu the money after meeting Ruan Feng, since the amount was considerable, and he felt he should be more cautious...

Thinking of this, Zhang Chulan gave an embarrassed smile.

"Brother Liu... I was just joking. You know me, how could I possibly have the nerve to ask you to refund my money..."

As soon as Zhang Chulan finished speaking, he felt a gust of wind sweep past him.

Immediately afterwards, his left cheek was hit by a considerable force, which sent him flying.
