One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

"When you practice your skills in the future, try to control them and treat the lightning like water to knead and shape it."

"Stop thinking about overthrowing the heavens. What did the heavens do to you? Try to become one with the heavens."

Zhang Chulan was stunned for a moment, recalling the feeling of recklessly charging forward every time he used lightning magic, and suddenly had a sudden realization.

He stood up and bowed respectfully: "Thank you for your guidance, Second Master! I will remember it!"

Zhang Tianyi ignored him and turned her gaze to Wang Ye beside her.

"And you, Xiao Wang."

Wang Ye was taken aback, and quickly stood up straight: "Second Master, what are your orders?"

"Your Feng Hou Qi Men method, which calculates heaven, earth, and all living beings, is indeed exquisite."

Zhang Tianyi leaned back in the recliner, her fingers tapping lightly on the armrest.

"But have you noticed that the more you calculate, the heavier the burden on your shoulders becomes? Your dark circles are practically hanging down to your chin."

"Qimen Dunjia is meant to align with the natural order and seek good fortune while avoiding misfortune. But you, on the contrary, are taking all the karma of the world upon yourself."

Zhang Tianyi looked at him and said in a drawn-out tone, "Remember this: the way of Heaven is constant; it does not exist for Yao, nor does it perish for Jie."

“You are a Taoist priest, not a savior. When it’s time to let go, you have to be willing to let go. Only when your heart is empty can you have a broader perspective.”

Wang Ye was startled, and his fingers tightened suddenly around the thermos.

These words, like the morning bell and evening drum, directly shattered the confusion that had been troubling him for some time.

"This junior...has learned a lot."

Wang Ye took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Zhang Tianyi.

Seeing the two young people deep in thought, Zhang Tianyi shook his head with disinterest.

"Alright, stop standing here like a wooden stake, go check the access control."

Zhang Tianyi yawned. "We have guests. Two familiar faces, no less."

"Guests?" Zhang Chulan was taken aback, and was about to ask who they were.

The manor's butler had already strode through the corridors to the poolside and respectfully reported:

“Mr. Zhang, there are two gentlemen visiting outside. One claims to be surnamed Lu, and the other claims to be surnamed Feng.”

Zhang Chulan and Wang Ye exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

Lu Jin and Feng Zhenghao?

How did these two old men end up together?

"Let them in," Zhang Tianyi said, waving his hand without even lifting his eyelids.

Before long, accompanied by a series of steady footsteps, Lu Jin and Feng Zhenghao entered the backyard under the guidance of the butler.

"Second Senior Brother!"

Before they even got close, Lu Jin's cheerful voice rang out.

The centenarian walked briskly to the recliner and looked at Zhang Tianyi's leisurely appearance. Instead of feeling neglected, he felt very warm and friendly.

"You've chosen a great location! It's nestled against the mountains and beside the water, much quieter than my old Lu family compound."

"Old Lu, your nose is sharper than a dog's. I've only been here for two days and you've already come knocking on my door."

Zhang Tianyi didn't get up either, but simply pointed to a few rattan chairs next to him: "Sit down, don't be shy. Chu Lan, go brew a pot of good tea."

Feng Zhenghao walked respectfully to Zhang Tianyi, bowed slightly, and placed the sandalwood gift box on the table with both hands.

"Senior Tian Shu, I am Feng Zhenghao. I apologize for my intrusion in visiting you."

Feng Zhenghao's tone was extremely sincere, without the slightest air of a senior: "Yesterday at the meeting, your unparalleled demeanor impressed me greatly. Today, I have prepared some small gifts to congratulate you on your new home, and also to express my respect once again."

Zhang Tianyi glanced at the box, without even opening the lid, and just looked at Feng Zhenghao with a half-smile.

How could he not know what that old fox was thinking?

Yesterday they gave away 5% of the original shares, and today they personally came to deliver more gifts.

This isn't about giving gifts; it's clearly about currying favor and showing loyalty.

Feng Zhenghao was an exceptionally intelligent businessman. He recognized Zhang Tianyi's extraordinary and even rule-above-the-rules status in the world of supernatural beings.

Once they can climb onto this big tree, the path for the World Society will be completely unobstructed.

"Xiao Feng, you're a smart person."

Zhang Tianyi neither refused nor showed much enthusiasm.

His eyes were calmly fixed on Feng Zhenghao, his tone unhurried:

I appreciate your kind gesture.

"I don't like beating around the bush. If you treat me with utmost respect, I will naturally not treat you unfairly."

Chapter 124 The Troubles of Top Henchman Feng Zhenghao and Lao Lu

As he spoke, Zhang Tianyi slowly raised his right hand.

He extended his index finger.

"Om..."

It was accompanied by an extremely faint, soft sound.

A wisp of purple-gold lightning, radiating a touch of divine luster, quietly condensed at his fingertips.

The lightning wasn't violent; instead, it flowed quietly.

Zhang Tianyi slightly moved his wrist, and with a flick of his fingertip amidst the purple-gold lightning, he outlined a mysterious and ancient rune.

"Hands out."

Zhang Tianyi gave the order in a calm tone.

Although Feng Zhenghao didn't know what this man wanted to do, he didn't hesitate and immediately extended his right hand respectfully.

Zhang Tianyi pressed down with his fingertips and gently tapped the back of Feng Zhenghao's right hand.

"hiss!"

Feng Zhenghao felt a warm, tingling sensation on the back of his hand, as if something had instantly seeped into his skin and reached deep into his meridians.

He looked down and saw a coin-sized, purplish-gold lightning cloud pattern on the back of his hand.

The pattern flickered slightly before disappearing beneath the skin without a trace.

"Senior, this is..."

Feng Zhenghao felt a huge, dormant power within his body and was filled with shock.

"Just a 'Primordial Thunder Seal'."

Zhang Tianyi withdrew her hand, picked up the plum juice next to her, and moistened her throat:

"This thing stays inside your body normally, it's harmless to you, and it can even help nourish your meridians."

"If you encounter a life-or-death attack, or if someone tries to forcibly control your soul..."

Zhang Tianyi glanced at Feng Zhenghao, a faint smile playing on her lips:

"This lightning seal will be triggered automatically."

"As for its power... it's roughly equivalent to a casual strike from me."

"Anyway, as long as it's not an old monster like my senior brother who personally attacks you, it's more than enough to save your life."

Zhang Chulan, who had just walked over carrying a tea tray, suddenly trembled, causing the teacup lid to clink.

Wang Ye had just picked up his thermos to drink water when his movement froze in mid-air.

It's equivalent to a casual strike from Master Tian Shu?!

This is just "that's all"?!

Feng Zhenghao was struck dumb, standing there as if he had been struck by lightning.

As a shrewd and calculating entrepreneur, he was all too aware of the value of this "Innate Thunder Seal"!

He had heard some rumors about the lightning tribulation that had struck Biyou Village before, through the World Alliance's channels.

This guy's "casual strike" was truly something else!

With this lightning seal, it's as if Feng Zhenghao has gained an extra life in this world of supernatural beings!

And it's an absolutely safe trump card!

A mere share of stock and a few treasures in exchange for the protection of a top-tier master and a life—this deal…is an absolute steal!

"Pfft!"

Feng Zhenghao could no longer maintain the elegance of a business tycoon and immediately knelt on one knee.

His voice trembled slightly with excitement:

"I will forever remember your kindness in bestowing this treasure upon me! The entire Feng family will never forget it!"

He raised his head, his eyes filled with fanaticism:

"From this day forward, if you ever need my assistance, just give me a word! I, Feng Zhenghao, and the entire World Society are willing to go through fire and water for you!"

These words were spoken with great conviction.

Clearly, this member of the Tenth Elder has fully grasped the situation and is willing, even eager, to become Zhang Tianyi's "number one henchman."

"Alright, get up. It's so hot outside, don't you feel your knees burning from kneeling?"

Zhang Tianyi waved his hand lazily, "I usually find things troublesome and don't like to meddle in other people's business. You can be your president outside as you always have, just don't use my name to do those petty thievery things."

"This junior understands! This junior will absolutely behave himself and abide by the law!"

Feng Zhenghao stood up quickly, unable to suppress the smile on his face, looking as if he had become several years younger.

"Master, the tea is ready."

Zhang Chulan, with his keen observation, stepped closer.
