One person: plays Wendy, the most carefree director of Nadu.

Seeing Su Mu going all out, Zhang Chulan was intimidated, but he didn't back down at all.

"Hmph! Very well!"

"I'm going to attack you at your peak!"

"Watch this, Yang Wu Lei!"

Zhang Chulan shouted and unleashed the Yang Five Thunders.

White arcs of electricity danced across his body, exuding a powerful aura.

But before he could make his next move, the arrow in Su Mu's hand had already left the bowstring—

boom!

Countless arrows fell almost simultaneously, instantly raising a cloud of dust!

Xu San and Xu Si, who were watching from the sidelines, stood up almost simultaneously.

Xu San looked on in astonishment and said, "This doesn't look like acting at all, does it?"

"That's right." Xu Si took a drag of his cigarette. "That kid Su Mu is probably really going all out."

"no."

Suddenly, Feng Baobao spoke up from the side.

"He didn't go all out, but he definitely didn't intend for Zhang Chulan to win."

Xu San and Xu Si exchanged a glance and looked at Feng Baobao.

"Baby, you knew all along?"

"Then why didn't you stop him? Don't you know that if Zhang Chulan wins, he'll find out exactly what happened back then?"

He said that even if Zhang Chulan wins, he won't know the truth.

"I believe him."

Hearing her say that, Xu San and Xu Si looked at each other speechlessly.

Well... it seems that helping the baby find their past and family isn't as simple as I thought...

The dust settled on the field.

Zhang Chulan stood on the uneven tabletop, his face bruised and swollen, covered in blood, on the verge of tears.

"Brother Su...you're really going too far, aren't you?"

"We're just acting, why are you taking it so seriously?"

Su Mu almost lost his composure when he saw Zhang Chulan's expression.

Just now, the instant the arrow was fired, he changed all the arrow attributes to the Rejuvenation attribute.

After all, all he wanted was the championship of the Luo Tian Grand Tournament, not to actually kill Zhang Chulan.

But if I don't take drastic measures, that idiot Zhang Chulan will probably keep thinking I'm just acting.

So the only option is to try arrows with the healing attribute.

However, to my surprise, the arrows with the healing attribute were even more useful than I had imagined.

As expected, it lost its terrifying penetrating damage, retaining only its impact force.

Furthermore, because of his ability to heal others, Zhang Chulan still had the energy to speak even after being shot into a pig's head.

As for the blood all over his face, it was entirely restored by the Rejuvenating Arrow.

Su Mu coughed twice and said, "Xiao Zhang, don't you understand yet?"

"I wasn't kidding you at all."

"I'm going to win this final."

As he spoke, he drew back the folding bow.

On the bow, a large number of arrows with emerald green arrowheads reappeared.

"The arrow I just shot was one of these blunt arrows."

"But a blunt arrow can still hurt a lot when it hits someone."

"If you don't admit defeat, I'll shoot you until you do!"

Hearing Su Mu say this, Zhang Chulan froze on the spot.

It turns out that from the very beginning, Brother Su never intended for himself to win...

Is he lying to himself?

No, it seems that all along, he has only said that he would meet me in the finals, but he has never said that he would admit defeat to me.

Even the task of acting as his henchman was merely a company assignment; Su Mu had never personally mentioned it.

But...as a working person, isn't completing tasks the most basic professional quality?

"Su Guo, you promised to be my henchman, didn't you?"

"Ugh, talking about this..."

"You know perfectly well when I've ever actually completed a mission properly."

"Just admit defeat, or I'll make you pay!"

Zhang Chulan clenched his fists and stood silently in place.

"Why... Brother Su, you clearly knew..."

Su Mu sighed.

Don't let Zhang Chulan's shameless nature fool you.

But in reality, this guy has quite a bit of backbone.

To force him to surrender by force is not an easy task; it requires a clear understanding of the situation and cannot be accomplished without bloodshed.

Su Mu put away his bow, and with a flap of the Wind God's Wings behind him, he landed in front of Zhang Chulan.

"Xiao Zhang, of course I know."

"But do you know that the reason the old Celestial Master wanted you to be a candidate for Celestial Master was because what happened back then was forbidden, and he couldn't tell you directly?"

"The only way to tell you the truth is through the lineage of the Celestial Masters—the Celestial Master's Ordination."

"However, after the Celestial Master's ordination, the Old Celestial Master will die."

Will I die?

Zhang Chulan's pupils trembled violently.

Involuntarily, the image of himself chatting and laughing with Zhang Zhiwei and Tian Jinzhong in the side room appeared in his mind.

The loving smile on Zhang Zhiwei's face was the smile of someone who truly regarded him as their own grandson!

Su Mu naturally sensed Zhang Chulan's wavering as well.

He continued, "So, you're planning to let this old man risk his life to find the truth for you?"

"No...of course not..."

Zhang Chulan shook his head repeatedly.

"But... if I lose this opportunity, will I be able to find another one in the future?"

"Don't worry." Su Mu stepped forward and patted Zhang Chulan on the shoulder.

"I promised Bao'er that I would definitely help her find her family."

"I'll give you the same promise."

"Zhang Chulan, I will definitely help you find the truth about your grandfather and those things from back then."

Hearing him say that, Zhang Chulan was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand to wipe the corner of his eye.

"Brother Su, I believe you."

"Referee, I concede!"

In the stands, Zhang Zhiwei clenched his fists slightly.

Beside him, Lu Jin quickly spoke up, "Old Zhang, calm down, there are so many people here..."

"Don't worry, Lao Lu," Zhang Zhiwei said calmly, "I just had a little itchiness in my hand, so I scratched it."

The referee swallowed hard and shouted, "Zhang Chulan, are you sure you want to admit defeat?"

"I'm sure!" Zhang Chulan shouted back, "You've all seen it, I'm no match for Brother Su."

"Then, I declare—"

"The winner of the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony final is Su Mu!"

As soon as the referee finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in cheers.

"Wow! Su Mu really won?"

"Good heavens, this Luo Tian Grand Ceremony was clearly meant to select the successor to the Celestial Master, but the old Celestial Master's disciple Zhang Lingyu wasn't chosen, and neither was his grand-disciple Zhang Chulan. This is truly hilarious."

"If Su Mu really becomes a Celestial Master, will he also have to become a monk? In that case, will he be considered a member of the Celestial Master's Mansion or a member of the company?"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

Zhang Lingyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Phew, thank goodness Su Mu won.

Although Su Mu is not a disciple of Longhu Mountain, whether he admits it or not, as long as he inherits the position of Celestial Master, he will be the leader of the Celestial Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain.

Even if Su Mu is sometimes unreliable, at least... at least he's better than Zhang Chulan, who's shameless... right?

……

As Su Mu and Zhang Chulan walked out of the venue, Xu San, Xu Si, and Feng Baobao, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately went to greet them.

Xu San looked at Su Mu and asked, "Su Mu, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Didn't I say from the beginning that my purpose in attending the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony was to ensure Zhang Chulan obtains the right to inherit the Celestial Master title?"

Su Mu smiled slightly.

"Third Brother, I want the Heavenly Talisman."

"The Heavenly Talisman?" Xu San exclaimed in surprise. "Your goal is the Eight Extraordinary Techniques?"

"What exactly do you want?"
