He finished speaking and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something, stopped, turned around, and asked Zhang Lingyu a question:
"Um...Ayu, there's something else I want to ask you..."
"?"
After hearing Zhou Fengliu's question, Zhang Lingyu raised an eyebrow slightly and looked seriously at the unserious All-Telecom employee not far away:
"Why are you asking about Uncle Tian's residence?"
...
As night deepened and the idlers left, the back mountain became even more tranquil, and it was another peaceful night.
The next morning.
Zhang Chulan got up early, and after a quick wash, he went with Xu San and Xu Si to the venue arranged by the Celestial Master's Mansion the day before.
This open space served as the competition arena. Among the Ten Elders, Wang Ai, Lü Ci, Feng Zhenghao, and Lu Jin stood quietly behind the Old Celestial Master, waiting for Zhang Chulan's arrival.
"Zhang Chulan... come here." Lu Jin waved to Zhang Chulan after seeing him.
"Senior Lu..."
"Hmm." Lu Jin took the Tongtian Talisman booklet from a disciple of the Celestial Master's Mansion and then said to Zhang Chulan, "According to the agreement before the conference, this Tongtian Talisman now belongs to you."
Lu Ci and Wang Ai, who witnessed this scene, immediately darkened their expressions.
If Zhang Chulan accepts the Tongtian Talisman, then in the eyes of the outside world, Zhang Chulan will possess both the Qi Body Source Flow and the Tongtian Talisman, two of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, which will make Lü Ci and Wang Ai extremely envious.
To answer or not to answer?
Looking at the Tongtian Talisman in Lu Jin's hand, Zhang Chulan already had the answer in his heart.
"Thank you, Senior Lu, but I don't intend to accept it."
"?"
"don't want?!"
His decision surprised not only the Ten Elders present and a few onlookers, but also Lu Jin, the person involved.
"why?"
Hearing Lu Jin's question, Zhang Chulan slowly said, "Senior Lu, I have already suffered a lot because of a Qi Body Source Flow that I have never seen before. If you pass on this Tongtian Talisman to me, I really can't bear the responsibility. I'm afraid I'll have to be tied up or something in three to five days."
"For me, being able to return to Longhu Mountain is already the greatest reward. As for your Tongtian Talisman... I think you should pass it on to Zhou Fengliu."
Zhang Chulan briefly explained why he didn't want it, and then introduced Zhou Fengliu.
"Zhou Fengliu?"
Upon hearing this name, Wang Ai's expression turned even uglier than before. He knew that his great-grandson, Wang Bing, was still unconscious, and he hadn't yet settled the score with Zhou Fengliu, that ungrateful brat.
Lu Jin was surprised to see Zhang Chulan introduce Zhou Fengliu.
"What are you thinking?" Lu Jin asked.
"Well..." Chu Lan scratched his head slightly, a little embarrassed, when he mentioned this:
"Actually, the seniors present could also see... how weak my championship was."
"You could say I got here on my own. If Zhou Fengliu hadn't conceded yesterday, I wouldn't have been able to win this championship. All the seniors have witnessed Zhou Fengliu's strength, and he absolutely deserves the title of the number one player of the new generation."
"If Senior Lu really wants to find a successor for the Tongtian Talisman, I think... Zhou Fengliu is a good choice, both in terms of ranking and strength."
Zhang Chulan explained his reasons.
Chapter 97 Bonus? Or Reward? The Heavenly Scroll is in my hands? (Bonus Chapter)
Zhang Chulan pondered this decision for two days.
Zhou Fengliu helped him in so many ways during this Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, from the initial special training to clearing obstacles in the competition, and even the difficulties caused by the Ten Elders Lü Ci and Wang Ai. Zhou Fengliu was always there for him.
Although Zhou Fengliu claimed it was all about mutual benefit and getting what he wanted, it didn't change the fact that Zhou Fengliu helped him, and that he was the one who took advantage of Zhou Fengliu.
Therefore... that's why he made this decision, introducing Zhou Fengliu to Lu Jin as a new option.
With Zhou Fengliu's strength, he is fully capable of handling the troubles brought about by the Eight Extraordinary Techniques and they can even help him improve his strength. Who knows, they might even be able to help him in the future.
Upon hearing Zhang Chulan introduce Zhou Fengliu, Lu Jin felt a strange mix of emotions.
He really wanted to find a successor for the Tongtian Talisman, and Zhou Fengliu was indeed suitable in every way. If there were no shady dealings, he should have been the first choice, but...
He was never satisfied with passing on this Heavenly Scroll to a junior who had first slapped his great-granddaughter hard and then messed with him.
"Zhang Chulan has already made the introduction, do you gentlemen have any objections?" Lu Jin looked at the elderly people behind him.
“I disagree,” Wang Ai was the first to voice her opposition.
"This person is wicked and even attacked my great-grandson during the competition. He is still unconscious. If such a person inherits the Tongtian Talisman, who knows how much danger he will cause."
It was not surprising that Wang Ai opposed the others, after all, Wang Ai had disliked Zhou Fengliu before.
Apart from Wang Ai, neither Lü Ci nor Feng Zhenghao spoke. Lü Ci was waiting for the Old Master to speak, while Feng Zhenghao simply remained silent because his status was lower than that of the Ten Elders.
“Old Lu…” the old Celestial Master slowly began to speak: “You were the one who took out this Heavenly Scroll. Why are you asking us old folks for a successor?”
The old master gave an ambiguous answer, essentially throwing the ball back to Lu Jin's feet.
Although the old Celestial Master intended to have Lu Jin pass on these eight extraordinary skills to his closed-door disciple Zhang Lingyu, the matter had already been brought up, and unless Zhou Fengliu also did not want this Heavenly Talisman, it was not appropriate to bring it up.
“Old Celestial Master, if you put it that way... then I have no reason to refuse. If you don’t want the first place, then let’s pass the order down.” Lu Jin still intended to pass on the Tongtian Talisman.
"Where's that kid Zhou Fengliu?"
"What about people?"
He searched for Zhou Fengliu's figure, completely ignoring Wang Ai's objections, which made Wang Ai somewhat embarrassed.
Embarrassing as it was, he couldn't say anything more. The highest-ranking person here was the Old Celestial Master, and the one who provided the Tongtian Talisman was Lu Jin. Neither of them had any objections, so how could he object?
"Brother Liu?" Zhang Chulan suddenly thought of something.
When he came over with Xu San, Xu Si, and Feng Baobao, he didn't see Zhou Fengliu. He asked Xu Si and learned that Zhou Fengliu had said he wanted to sleep in late and come back later...
Thinking of this, he said somewhat embarrassedly to Lu Jin, "Um, Senior Lu, I'm sorry, Brother Liu seems to still be sleeping... I'll go call him, he'll be there in a bit."
“…” Lu Jin.
"..." Old Master.
"...Ten Elders".
"No...is he really that indifferent?" Lu Jin asked.
"Um... I didn't inform Zhou Fengliu about this beforehand, I'm so sorry." Zhang Chulan said as he made a phone call to Zhou Fengliu.
When Zhou Fengliu answered the phone, he looked completely bewildered and didn't hear what Zhang Chulan was saying.
All I heard was, "Hurry up, Brother Liu, they're handing out bonuses over here, come quick!"
bonus?
bonus!
Zhou Fengliu mistook Zhang Chulan's mention of reward for a bonus, which jolted him awake from his sleep.
Without washing up or changing his clothes, he went to the place Zhang Chulan had mentioned.
"Where? The bonus? How come I didn't know the Celestial Master's Mansion gave out bonuses?" Zhou Fengliu asked Zhang Chulan as soon as he arrived.
"Brother Liu... it's a reward, not a bonus." Zhang Chulan pointed to Lu Jin not far away and then briefly explained how he had been introduced.
"What the hell? The Heavenly Talisman? You're passing it on to me?" Zhou Fengliu raised an eyebrow and then said, "I don't know how to use talismans either."
Whether it's his seemingly magical manipulation techniques or his intense confrontation at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, he doesn't seem like someone who could be associated with a talisman master.
"You don't know how? Can't you learn?" Lu Jin walked over irritably and placed the Tongtianlu notebook in his hand:
"I didn't know this before...don't you have to learn it?"
After Lu Jin finished speaking, he quickly tried to give Zhou Fengliu a good whack to vent his anger, but Zhou Fengliu seemed to have noticed Lu Jin's movement and almost subconsciously dodged to the side.
"Senior Lu... another sneak attack? Too bad, he still missed."
Zhou Fengliu said he had already anticipated Lu Jin's movements. Having slapped others so many times, he knew exactly where to slap them the moment they raised their hands, making it quite easy for him to dodge.
"You brat... Fine, fine! I've already passed on the Heavenly Scroll to you, can't you even let this old man vent his anger? Give you a good slap?"
Lu Jin seems to be a stubborn person, and he just had to get revenge for the time he slapped his great-granddaughter.
“Senior Lu, please be reasonable. I have never provoked you... If you were saying that Old Master Wang wanted to beat me up to vent his anger, that would be one thing, but this is not fair.” Zhou Fengliu pointed at Wang Ai, who was not far away.
Don't say it.
Wang Ai really wanted to beat Zhou Fengliu to death, preferably to make him wish he were dead, but Zhou Fengliu brought it up, so he couldn't do anything about it and could only snort coldly.
"Um... Senior Lu, even if you pass on this Tongtian Talisman to me, I still won't know how to use it. How about you take the trouble to teach me everything I need to know?"
Zhou Fengliu did not refuse the Tongtian Scroll. Since the Tongtian Scroll was in his hands, he considered it a stroke of good fortune.
His current state of mind is as if he had found a piece of the Imperial Seal of the State on the street.
Before finding it: Isn't it just a broken rock? What good would it do even if I got it?
After finding it: It is ordained by Heaven that you will live a long and prosperous life, this is the will of Heaven!
