One person: I am Li Buren, I cannot bear to do anything!

"Cough cough cough."

The old celestial master hastily avoided danger and hurriedly interrupted Li Buren.

After thinking for a moment, he sighed softly again.

"Actually, when I first met you as a child, I knew you were a promising talent, unmatched by any of your peers in terms of both innate ability and temperament."

"At that time, I thought, why didn't I pick you up? Yunlong got there first, hahahahahaha."

Zhang Zhiwei's words were half true and half false, making it difficult to understand his meaning.

Li Buren didn't care.

"Everything happens for a reason. Zhang Lingyu is quite good; aside from her flaws, aren't they all virtues?"

"Why."

The old master sighed deeply.

"No matter what, Lingyu is still the child I raised, and I still can't bear to see him like this..."

"This child respects me so much that even I can't change his mind."

Li Buren nodded.

"In my opinion, what Zhang Lingyu cultivates is not magic, not technique, and certainly not the Dao."

"Is he practicing the real Zhang Zhiwei, or is it just his imagined Zhang Zhiwei?"

With that one sentence, both of them fell silent.

The Celestial Master was well aware of Zhang Lingyu's thoughts.

Even for someone as exceptional as him, there are some things that are very difficult to do...

"I can't bear it..."

The old master remained silent for a long time, but finally spoke.

"Old Celestial Master, there's no need for further words."

"When I was young, you taught me the method of cultivating both body and spirit. Without this method, I would not be where I am today. I should accept this request."

"But I can't guarantee the final outcome."

"Wow, you're so clever and adaptable."

"If Lingyu were five times as good as you, sigh..."

Seeing the old master's increasingly worried expression, Li Buren also offered words of comfort.

"Old Celestial Master, why are you sighing? The Luo Tian Grand Ceremony is nearing its end, and with the appearance of Zhang Chulan, you should be happy."

Zhang Zhiwei rubbed his temples and gave a wry smile.

"It's bitter indeed, but I'm caught up in it all myself, yet I don't see it as clearly as you do."

"I originally wanted to tell you something today that would surprise you, but I didn't expect that a few casual words would shock you so much."

Li waved his hand reluctantly, repeatedly saying he dared not.

"What could possibly surprise me? I'm curious too."

Seeing the other party's curious expression, the old master immediately regained his enthusiasm and looked at Li Buren with a smile.

"I can't bear it, I can't bear it. No matter how smart you are, you would never guess the scheme I've set up."

"Believe me, you'll be very surprised when you find out!"

Li Buren's expression grew increasingly curious.

"What exactly happened?"

The old celestial master mysteriously beckoned Li Buren to come closer.

"Come closer, I'll tell you."

...

"How about that? Aren't you shocked?"

The old master sat back down on his stool, looking expectantly at Li Buren across from him, ready to see the other man's mouth drop open in surprise.

"Wow! How shocking! The Quanxing Sect is actually attacking Longhu Mountain! This is unbelievable! Who would have thought?!"

Li couldn't help but open his mouth wide, almost bursting out laughing.

The old master stroked his beard and leaned back in his chair with a smug look on his face.

"Oh dear, this is a matter of great importance. I made plans long ago. It's perfectly normal that a junior like you doesn't know. After all, I have a century of experience."

"Little Bu Ren, you still have a lot to learn."

The old master laughed triumphantly.

He was a playful old man by nature, and seeing Li Buren like this, he naturally found it amusing.

"Luckily, I have received professional training and possess extremely high professional qualities, otherwise I would have almost burst out laughing."

Li Buren secretly rejoiced.

The old master then turned to serious discussion.

"This time, the Quanxing sect's attack on Longhu Mountain will surely be massive, and they might even come out in full force."

"I have already notified all parties in advance that they will all be on the mountain to help me guard the Celestial Master's Mansion."

"You'd better keep an eye on things for me then. The Quanxing sect acts unpredictably, and even if you prepare in advance, there are bound to be some things you can't guard against."

Li couldn't bear it and nodded in agreement.

"It is only right and proper, so please rest assured, Celestial Master."

The old celestial master looked up, seemingly pondering for a moment.

"No wonder you didn't even participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, but instead sent Xiao Wang to participate as well."

Li Buren was exceptionally intelligent and immediately understood the hidden meaning in the old master's words.

"If the old master is curious, why don't we find an opportunity to give it a try?"

Hahahahahaha.

The old master couldn't stop laughing.

"It's still early, very early..."

...

Li couldn't bear to walk outside. Just as he was about to take out his phone to call Wang Ye, a man in a suit with a high nose bridge and sharp eyes blocked his way.

"Master Li, please wait."

Li couldn't bear to look him up and down, and asked with a frown.

"Someone from the Wang family?"

The middle-aged man chuckled and handed over a business card.

"Master Li is indeed wise. He is usually low-key, but I never expected him to have such strength and character. I admire him."

Li couldn't bear to take the business card, and calmly watched the man's hand hover in the air.

He stared at the other person indifferently, his tone neither warm nor cold.

"Have you come here to demand an explanation?"

"You think I interfered in the match between Wang Bing and Feng Xingtong?"

"Do you still think I was too loud during Zhang Lingyu's fight with Wang Bing?"

Li Buren stared coldly at the Wang family's steward with a half-smile.

The Wang family's steward felt a chill run down his spine, and his hands and feet trembled uncontrollably.

This feeling was both familiar and strange, much like when you go on a school field trip to the zoo and see a magnificent tiger standing in front of you, staring straight at you for the first time.

But back then he was just a child; now he is one of the few extraordinary combatants in the Wang family.

"Do I still feel this way now?"

"This Taoist priest is probably even more terrifying than the patriarch imagined..."

His imposing manner vanished instantly, and Li couldn't bear to revert to his usual carefree and nonchalant self.

"Alright, lead the way, don't delay my junior brother and me from going down the mountain."

Before the Wang family steward could say anything to smooth things over, Li couldn't bear to stop him and spoke directly.

He really didn't want to, and felt there was no need to, argue with the Wang family's steward.

"well..."

The middle-aged man responded repeatedly, but his steps showed a hint of panic.

Before long, the old man who had met Li Buren a few times on stage appeared in front of him.

"Master Li is here? Try the tea I just brewed, Qimen black tea, this year's new tea."

Wang Ai stretched out her arm, her plump body not appearing bulky, and handed Li Buren a cup of hot tea.

Li reluctantly took the cup but didn't drink from it; he simply placed it in front of him.

"I just drank the old master's tea, and it's getting to my throat. I'll drink it slowly next time."

Wang Ai's expression remained unchanged, still bearing that same smiling and kind demeanor.

He didn't say anything, but poured himself another glass and handed it over.

"Master Li is indeed knowledgeable. This first brew of tea is not considered a good one; the second brew is the essence."

Li Buren refused to even accept the cup this time.

He just watched Wang Ai quietly.
