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

After witnessing his supervisor's actions, Su Mu could only say, "No wonder you, Old Deng, can be a supervisor."

Awesome!

Thus, the Quanxing's attack on the mountain came to an end.

The grand Taoist ritual came to a close at this moment.

……

After returning to the company, Xu San, Xu Si, Zhang Chulan, Feng Baobao, and Su Mu held a meeting together.

This meeting was initiated by Zhang Chulan.

"Actually, after the Quanxing Sect finished attacking the mountain that day, the Old Celestial Master came to see me."

"He told me that if I wanted, he could pass on the position of Celestial Master, that is, the Celestial Master's ordination, to me."

"After all, the guy who came in first place doesn't seem to have any intention of becoming a Taoist master."

"That's why you disappeared that night," Xu San pushed up his glasses. "But didn't you already confirm with the Celestial Master that accepting his ordination would cause the Celestial Master to die?"

Why did he ask again?

"I also asked my advisor this question," Zhang Chulan sighed. "But my advisor said that my grandfather never returned to the mountain back then, probably because he knew the situation and deliberately didn't come back."

"It's also possible that they were being chased too closely and didn't have time to come back."

"So he gave me another chance to choose."

"I ultimately declined, but it helped me sort things out."

"The Celestial Master's Decree is definitely a super restriction similar to the 'cinnabar mark' (a mark used to mark a woman's virginity)."

"There must be secrets inside, such as the Jia Shen Rebellion and the Eight Extraordinary Skills."

"The advisor wants to put this restriction on me. That way, even though I know the truth, I will never be able to say it because of the restriction."

"In this way, not only will I not become someone else's target, but Baojie will also have to be my bodyguard for life."

"This is probably why my grandfather let Baojie follow me."

"To put it simply, both Master Xu and Sister Bao were used by my grandfather."

Xu Si scoffed and said, "Now I finally know who you took after..."

"The trail with the old master has gone cold. Do you have any ideas for what to do next?" Xu San asked.

"The next step is to find people who are involved in the Jia Shen Rebellion."

"The old men of the Wang and Lü families are probably in deep trouble."

"Old Master Lu said he owes me a favor, so he should be the best point of contact..."

Su Mu and Feng Baobao sat in the corner, eating sunflower seeds while listening to the three of them discuss.

"Those people who use their brains, just watching them makes me feel tired..."

"Yes, yes..."

Su Mu knew that although his actions had caused many changes to the plot.

However, the overall direction will definitely remain the same, since the main characters' objectives have not changed.

Then you don't need to do anything special; just deal with whatever comes your way.

only……

When will this finally end?

Why don't I just take a nap?

Just as Su Mu was about to take a nap, there was a knock on the conference room door.

Xu San and the others stopped their discussion.

Xu San said, "Go in."

The supervisor pushed open the door and said, "Third Brother, Fourth Brother, someone is here to see Su Mu."

"Looking for me?" Su Mu was taken aback. "Who is it?"

The supervisor gave him a strange look and said, "It's Jia Zhengliang."

Yo!

Little Leek... oh no, Little Jia's here?!

Because of his presence, he did not fight Feng Shayan at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony.

The two did not develop a mutual understanding over their shared rebellion against their parents, nor did they go down the mountain for a tryst.

Jia Zhengliang lost five hundred!

This is all my own fault!

I really need to take this kid out and have some fun!

Thinking of this, Su Mu immediately stood up from his chair.

"Where is he? I'll go meet him right now."

"Um, he's downstairs at the entrance..."

"Alright, Third Brother and Fourth Brother, I need to ask for leave. I'm off now~"

After saying that, Su Mu rushed out of the conference room before Xu San and Xu Si could react.

Xu San, Xu Si, and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

At the company entrance, Jia Zhengliang stood on his toes, looking slightly uneasy.

After being eliminated by Su Mu, he first went back to Jiajia Village and then told his parents about what had happened at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony.

Jia Zhengliang thought he would be scolded by his parents and then confined to Jiajia Village to marry the village chief's daughter.

But to his surprise, after learning about this, his parents not only did not scold or punish him, but also praised him.

What kind of vision was broadened, what kind of character was revealed, and what kind of style was showcased in Jiajia Village...?

They've somehow gotten involved with the company, latched onto a powerful backer, and their future is limitless...

And what's more, ever since his brother was crippled and brought home, he's successfully married into the village chief's family and will soon be having a baby...

In short, when Jia Zhengliang left Jiajia Village with the 500 yuan his mother had given him for living expenses, he was completely bewildered.

I'm...free now?

From now on, my older brother, who can no longer be an outsider, will take care of things at home. I just need to take good care of myself outside, and I can live a carefree life.

And every month, my mom would give me 500 yuan for living expenses?

This is simply—

So cool!

Five hundred!

That's five hundred!

How can I possibly spend all of it?

So, after spending several dozen yuan to take the old-fashioned green train to Tianjin, Jia Zhengliang specially spent one hundred yuan to prepare a gift for Su Mu.

"I wonder if Su Mu will like this thing..."

Jia Zhengliang muttered to himself.

"It's all because Tianjin is too prosperous; the prices are just too high..."

Su Mu happened to arrive at the door and heard him muttering to himself, so he replied, "Oh! You're here!"

"What did you just say was too high?"

"It's nothing..."

Jia Zhengliang coughed and reached for a bag.

"Um... this is a gift I prepared for you, please... please don't mind it."

"That's definitely not the case."

Su Mu took the bag and looked at it—

Yo!

It was actually a pair of sunglasses!

Su Mu immediately took out sunglasses, put them on, and looked at Jia Zhengliang.

"How is it?"

"Is he handsome?"

Jia Zhengliang looked at Su Mu, blushed slightly, and nodded.

"So handsome! But you're just naturally handsome..."

"Alright, that's enough."

Su Mu walked over and put his arm around Jia Zhengliang's neck.

To be honest, when he added Jia Zhengliang's contact information, he never thought that Jia Zhengliang would actually come looking for him.

He never expected that Jia Zhengliang would prepare a gift for him.

He really likes these sunglasses.

"Since you've come to me, you're my brother."

"I have to make proper arrangements for you today!"

"Come on! I'll take you to a great place!"

"Where are you going?"

"Massage, karaoke, partying!"

"Huh?...Flirting with ghosts? This...this isn't a good idea, is it?"

"Enough talk! Let's go!"

Ignoring Jia Zhengliang's objections, Su Mu pulled him away.

Upstairs, in front of the glass of the conference room, Xu San, Xu Si, Zhang Chulan, and the supervisor all had their faces pressed against the glass, looking at the situation below with blank expressions.

"What do you mean? Jia Zhengliang isn't here for revenge?"

"It doesn't seem like it..."

"Is that right?"

"Didn't Su Mu first cripple Jia Zhengyu, and then destroy Jia Zhengliang's twelve Immortal-Slaying Flying Knives?"

"If this happened in ancient times, they would basically be mortal enemies, right?"

"I thought that when the two of them took out their phones and exchanged contact information at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, they were planning to settle their scores privately after everything was over."

"Now it seems the two of them actually appreciate each other and have become good brothers?"

"Outrageous, absolutely outrageous..."
