He placed several cups of freshly brewed premium Da Hong Pao tea on the stone table, winking at Feng Zhenghao and muttering under his breath:

"President Feng, this is a huge win! From now on, we're all on the same side."

Feng Zhenghao returned a knowing smile.

After dismissing Feng Zhenghao, Zhang Tianyi turned to look at Lu Jin, who had already found a seat and was leisurely drinking tea.

"I'm telling you, Lao Lu."

Zhang Tianyi leaned back in his recliner and spoke slowly, "You didn't come here today to give me a gift and show your loyalty, did you? The threshold of your Lu family mansion is much higher than Xiao Feng's."

Lu Jin blew on the steam rising from the tea, gave a wry smile, and put down the teacup.

"Second Senior Brother, please don't flatter me. I don't have the same boldness as President Feng. I came here today... purely to complain to you."

"Oh?"

Zhang Tianyi became interested. "What? Did those remnants of the Quanxing sect go and dig up your Lu family's ancestral graves again?"

"If it's the Quanxing who causes trouble, that would be easy to handle. I can just slap them to death."

Lu Jin sighed, his old face filled with worry:

"It's all because of my troublesome great-granddaughter, Linglong."

"Linglong? What happened to that girl? She seemed quite energetic at the mall yesterday."

Zhang Tianyi recalled the energetic girl with pink hair who chattered away as she helped Chen Duo pick out clothes yesterday, and her impression of her was still quite good.

"It's not just spirit, it's excessive spirit!"

Lu Jin slapped his thigh, as if he had found someone to confide in:

"Ever since you gave her that casual suggestion at the mall yesterday, this girl has been acting like she's possessed!"

“I didn’t sleep at all last night, and practiced in the yard until 3 a.m.! While practicing, I kept muttering something about ‘the Master said to treat Qi as blood.’”

Lu Jin shook her head helplessly: "That's fine, diligence is a good thing. But this morning, she somehow got hold of a white Taoist robe that's similar to yours and insisted on wearing it."

"Now, if anyone in the Lu family dares to say a bad word about you, she'll get really angry with them!"

"She was also enthusiastically recommending you in the family group chat, saying things like 'Master Tian Shu is the most handsome and coolest cultivator in the world.'"

"She's practically your number one fan now!"

At this point, Lu Jin looked at Zhang Tianyi, his old eyes filled with resentment:

"Second Senior Brother, you're something else. It's one thing to tease us on the mountain, but how did you manage to bewitch my precious great-granddaughter?"

"This morning she was making a fuss about moving to this villa in Xishan, saying she wanted to serve you tea and water and be your personal maid!"

"I couldn't stop him, and I couldn't persuade him to listen."

"Pfft!"

Wang Ye, who was drinking tea nearby, couldn't help but almost spit out his water.

He quickly turned his head away, his shoulders shrugging.

Zhang Tianyi was taken aback when he heard this, and then couldn't help but chuckle.

He shook his head, picked up the plum juice, took a sip, and spoke in the same relaxed and carefree tone:

"Old Lu, I'm not trying to be mean, but what era are we living in? What's wrong with a kid having his own idols?"

"Besides, the fact that she admires me, Daoist Master, is because she has good taste and high standards."

Zhang Tianyi adjusted the cushion and said slowly:

"That girl is straightforward, not delicate or pretentious, much more lovable than you bunch of scheming old men."

"If she really wants to come and have fun, let her come. This Xishan Manor is so big, does it need another pair of chopsticks?"

"Perfect timing. Her arrival will keep Chen Duo company, instead of these grown men getting in my way all the time."

Zhang Chulan and Wang Ye, who were standing nearby, were caught in the crossfire. They looked at each other and gave each other helpless, bitter smiles.

Well, in this family, their status is now even lower than that of a maid.

Hearing Zhang Tianyi say this, Lu Jin felt a little jealous, but could only sigh helplessly.

"I'm just glad you said that. I only ask that she doesn't cause any trouble here and disturb your peaceful meditation."

“Secluded cultivation? My current secluded cultivation is simply immersing myself in this mortal world.”

Zhang Tianyi gazed at the clear sky in the distance.

A gentle breeze ruffled the stray hairs on his forehead, revealing a languid and carefree air that conveyed a profound understanding of the world while remaining grounded in it.

He gently shook the glass in his hand, and the ice cubes clinked together with a crisp sound.

"The warmth and life of this world is much more interesting than the dark and gloomy well."

Chapter 125 Celestial Pivot Master, I have long admired your name!

As soon as Lu Jin gave his consent, Lu Linglong moved in immediately.

Early in the morning, Zhang Tianyi was lying comfortably like a corpse.

"Real person~ Is the force here okay?"

A clear, sweet voice, with a slightly coquettish ending tone, rang out beside the tatami.

The eldest daughter of the Lu family was wearing a fluffy pink bunny pajama set.

She was half-squatting beside the chaise lounge, her two fair little hands clenched into small fists, diligently and gently pounding Zhang Tianyi's calves.

Those big, watery eyes shone with undisguised adoration from a "little fangirl".

"Hmm... Apply a little more pressure on the right side, yes, go down along Zusanli."

Zhang Tianyi closed his eyes, let out a soft hum, and looked utterly content.

"Not bad, Linglong. Your Quanzhen Sect internal strength is really wasted on massage."

"The strength in those little hands is so clever."

"Hehe! Being able to massage a real person's legs is a blessing I've earned!"

After being praised by her idol, Lu Linglong's cheeks flushed slightly, and she worked even harder.

The rabbit ears on his head swayed with his movements.

"Master, if you're thirsty, I just brewed some pre-Qingming Longjing tea for you. The temperature is just right. Shall I pour you a cup?"

Not far from this exquisite painting of "an immortal reclining on a couch and a jade maiden massaging his legs".

Behind a large Roman column.

Zhang Chulan was biting a rag so hard that his eyes were practically bleeding from staring.

He gripped the pillar with both hands, his fingernails scratching against it, his whole being enveloped by a strong sour smell and a sense of crisis.

"Damn it...it's so damn bad!"

Zhang Chulan roared inwardly, his molars almost grinding to powder.

Back then, serving tea and water, massaging shoulders and legs, flattering and fawning... these were Zhang Chulan's core competencies in this family!

This is the niche in his workplace that he relies on for survival!

As a result, once the eldest daughter of the Lu family moved in, she didn't play by the rules at all!

Not only is she beautiful and has a sweet tongue, but she can also perform high-end massage using Quanzhen internal energy!

This is absolutely a game-changer!

It's vicious competition!

"Old Zhang, stop looking, or your eyeballs will pop out."

Wang Ye, carrying a thermos, drifted past Zhang Chulan like an old man, leisurely adding insult to injury:

"Just accept your fate. That pretty girl is pleasing to the eye, but if you go up to her, you're just being a sycophant."

"Second Master is a man who values ​​quality of life the most; it's only a matter of time before you fall out of favor."

"Old Wang, shut up!" Zhang Chulan was filled with grief and indignation.

"Does this mean I've fallen out of favor? This is magnanimity! This is giving young people a chance!"

The rest area not far away.

Chen Duo was holding Frog and sitting quietly in a wicker chair.

Today she wore a light green floral dress, which looked clean and refreshing.

She was currently staring at Lu Linglong, who was chattering away next to Zhang Tianyi.

"Sister Chen Duo!"

After pouring tea for Zhang Tianyi, Lu Linglong ran to Chen Duo in a flash.

With a smile, she took an exquisitely crafted strawberry hair clip from the pocket of her pink pajamas and gently pinned it behind Chen Duo's ear.

"Look! I picked this out for you at the boutique last night, it goes perfectly with your dress today! Doesn't it look great?"

Chen Duo subconsciously touched the hair clip on her head.

Looking at Lu Linglong's bright, sunny smile, she felt somewhat uncomfortable with such warm kindness, but she didn't reject it.

"nice."

Chen Duo's voice was very soft: "Thank you... Linglong."

"Don't mention it! We're practically family!"

Lu Linglong grabbed Chen Duo's arm and rubbed against it affectionately: "Once you've rested enough, I'll take you to eat candied ears in the hutongs of Beijing!"

Zhang Tianyi leaned back on the couch, watching this scene with half-closed eyes.

He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and smiled.

The reason he allowed Lu Linglong to "make a scene" here was certainly not because he really needed a maid to massage his legs.

Chen Duo's early life was too bitter, and she has a very reserved personality.
