The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

After parting ways with Director Xie, Li Kaixin sat back down on the chair that Zhou Zhiming had previously pulled out.

Zhou Zhiming, meanwhile, was holding a notebook and studying it attentively. Occasionally, when he encountered something he didn't understand, he would come over and ask for help.

However, this atmosphere did not last long.

The newcomer, Sun Yingjun, slowly approached Li Kaixin. Looking at the two leisurely people, he said rather rudely, "Hey, where's your master? I'd like to meet him."

Zhou Zhiming, who was reading his notes, heard Sun Yingjun's voice but didn't even look up, not wanting to acknowledge him at all.

Although he had been disciplined by his master before, he couldn't really feel any goodwill towards this new master.

Li Kaixin was staring into the distance, seemingly unaware that someone was approaching.

Seeing that the two were ignoring him, Sun Yingjun became furious and suddenly raised his voice: "I'm talking to you! Didn't you hear me?"

Zhou Zhiming seemed to just realize what was happening. He slowly closed his notebook, looked up, and forced a smile. "Oh, it's Master Sun. I was so engrossed in studying that I didn't notice. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Boy, I'm asking you, where is your master?" Sun Yingjun's tone remained impolite.

At this moment, Li Kaixin turned around and stood up from the stool: "Master Sun, you were looking for me?"

Sun Yingjun looked Li Kaixin up and down, a look of disbelief on his face: "You're his mentor? You passed your driver's license test?"

"Is there anything I can teach you?" Li Kaixin didn't take the bait and walked a few steps forward.

Seeing that the person in front of him was young and had a touch of arrogance on his face, Sun Yingjun slowly spoke:

"I wouldn't call it giving you advice, I just want to get to know you."

"Oh, my name is Li Kaixin," Li Kaixin replied casually, then waved his hand, "Now that we've met, please go back."

He now understood the displeasure Zhou Zhiming had felt earlier; it was indeed quite irritating.

"You, you..." Sun Yingjun was speechless, and the anger he had just suppressed resurfaced.

However, upon seeing the brand-new car behind Li Kaixin, his eyes lit up and a smile spread across his face: "Master Li, don't be so formal, we can have a good chat."

"There's nothing to talk about, you can leave now." Li Kaixin frowned, her words utterly impolite.

Seeing that this kid wasn't giving him any face at all, Sun Yingjun immediately lost face and decided to stop pretending:

"Master Li, I see you're young, and your driving skills probably aren't very good. It's not appropriate for you to drive such a nice new car."

"How about we switch? You can practice driving my car first, okay?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the deformed car in the distance.

As soon as he said this, Zhou Zhiming, who was standing next to him, was stunned and looked at Sun Yingjun as if he were some kind of weirdo.

He had never met anyone with such thick skin, making such a shameless request on their first meeting.

Li Kaixin was amused by the situation and slowly asked, "Master Sun, did you forget something when you went out today?"

"What do you mean?" Sun Yingjun didn't understand.

Li Kaixin curled her lips into a slightly mocking smile: "Then how could you say something so brainless? Or are you saying you don't even have one?"

Zhou Zhiming, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"You...you actually dare to insult me?" Sun Yingjun's face turned red.

"No, no, Master Sun, you've misunderstood." Li Kaixin's expression remained unchanged, and his tone was calm. "I'm just stating the facts."

Sun Yingjun's face turned from red to green. He had never been scolded like this before. In his place, everyone fawned over him.

Pointing a finger at Li Kaixin, his tone laced with threat, he said, "Kid, you'd better think this through. I was invited by Director Xie! Aren't you afraid I'll go and say something to Director Xie?"

As he spoke, he recalled how polite Director Xie had been to him earlier, and his back seemed to straighten a bit more: "You'd better apologize to me now and switch our cars, or you'll be in big trouble."

Upon hearing this, Li Kaixin looked at Sun Yingjun with a hint of pity, as if he were a mentally challenged person.

Suddenly, he stopped being angry and said calmly, "Master Sun, why don't you put your work aside for a while and go to the hospital to get your brain checked?"

He paused, his expression unusually sincere: "Really, I'm not lying to you."

Zhou Zhiming couldn't hold back any longer. He clutched his stomach, his shoulders shaking with laughter. His master's words, coupled with his expression, were absolutely hilarious.

Upon seeing this, Sun Yingjun trembled with rage and uttered a harsh threat: "Fine, very well! You just wait!"

Before he finished speaking, he hurriedly turned around and walked quickly toward Director Xie's office.

After Sun Yingjun left, Zhou Zhiming slowly stopped laughing, and worry reappeared on his face: "Master, Sun Yingjun was so arrogant, could he really have some kind of background?"

"It's nothing, he was just transferred from the county." Li Kaixin said dismissively.

Zhou Zhiming was somewhat surprised: "Master, how did you know?"

"Director Xie just mentioned to me that this person is basically a replacement for Yang Hua'an," Li Kaixin explained, his tone steady. "Besides, even if he really has some background, your master isn't someone to be trifled with. Don't worry."

Zhou Zhiming then realized what was going on.

That's true, his master was no ordinary person. That guy surnamed Sun came from the county, so he probably didn't have any powerful backers.

He felt much relieved, but still a little puzzled, he asked, "Master, where did he get that confidence from just now?"

"Who knows!" Li Kaixin shook his head, then said seriously, "That's why I just advised him to go to the hospital to get his brain checked."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhiming couldn't hold back any longer: "Master, please don't mention having your head checked... haha... I really can't do it anymore."

He clutched his stomach, laughing so hard he couldn't stand up straight.

Seeing his apprentice like this, Li Kaixin couldn't help but smile slightly.

Sure enough, not long after, Sun Yingjun walked out of Director Xie's office with a livid face.

At noon in the canteen, many apprentices sat together eating, and the focus of their discussion was the newly arrived Sun Yingjun.

"Kaixin, did that Sun Yingjun come to your place today?" Wu Tian approached with a lunchbox, his face showing disgust. "You have no idea, that guy really disgusted me."

Qian Dazhuang nodded heavily beside him.

"Here they come, and my master even gave them a scolding," Zhou Zhiming hurriedly replied.

Wu Tian immediately perked up, leaning closer to Zhou Zhiming with a gossipy look on his face: "Zhiming, tell me quickly, what happened?"

Zhou Zhiming couldn't hold back any longer and recounted the whole incident that morning.

As soon as they heard it, Wu Tian and Qian Dazhuang burst into laughter, almost spitting out their food.
