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

The girl next door wearing a bear apron... is she that extremely dangerous biological weapon?!

Even more deadly is...

The first disciple of my second master?!

Zhang Tianyi raised an eyebrow, looked at the dumbfounded Zhang Lingyu, and slowly said:

“Lingyu, our Celestial Master’s Mansion is very particular about rules.”

"Although this girl is my apprentice and of the same generation as you, she has only just joined the sect and is younger than you."

"From now on, she will be your proper junior sister."

Zhang Tianyi patted Zhang Lingyu on the shoulder and said earnestly, "As her senior brother, you'll have to look after your junior sister when you're out in the future."

"If she gets bullied, I'll hold you responsible."

Zhang Lingyu's lips twitched slightly.

He is a traditional Taoist priest who has rules ingrained in his very being.

Although this turn of events is a bit strange, since he is the disciple personally recognized by the second master, it must be true!

Under Zhang Chulan's gaze, who was trying so hard not to laugh that he almost suffered internal injuries.

Zhang Lingyu carefully straightened her clothes.

Then, facing Chen Duo, he clasped his hands in a proper Taoist greeting:

"Zhang Lingyu..."

"I've met Chen Duo... Junior Sister."

Chen Duo was caught off guard by the sudden bow.

She glanced at Zhang Tianyi, then at Zhang Lingyu.

Finally, she raised the spatula still covered in vegetable leaves and nodded very seriously:

"Oh, hello senior brother. I still have some pork ribs stewing in the pot, dinner will be ready soon."

This response, coupled with Zhang Lingyu's otherworldly and meticulous manner of greeting, was perfectly timed.

The clash of the vast generation gap caused Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing, who were standing nearby, to lose their composure and turn away to cover their faces and burst into laughter.

Zhang Tianyi sniffed, his eyes lighting up as he smelled the rich aroma of meat wafting from the restaurant.

"Girl, what fancy dish did you make today?"

Chen Duo put down the spatula and counted on her fingers:

"I made braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, boiled fish, and spicy diced chicken that you liked in the video."

"Pretty!"

Zhang Tianyi waved his hand dismissively: "Let's go! Let's go eat!"

"Forget all the schemes and plots, as long as we're eating, nothing matters!"

In a spacious and bright restaurant.

Before long, a large table full of dishes was laid out.

It has a perfect combination of color, aroma, and taste, and is in no way inferior to the big restaurants outside.

Zhang Chulan ate his ribs while his eyes welled up with tears of emotion.

"Waaah... Junior Uncle's cooking is so much better than the pickled cabbage noodles I usually eat! Can I come here for a free meal every day from now on?"

"Just eat your food, the food can't shut you up."

Zhang Tianyi picked up a piece of braised pork and stuffed it into his mouth, eating with a look of pure bliss.

He watched as the people at the table lowered their guard and began to eat heartily.

Watching Zhang Lingyu carefully serve soup to Xia He, who had lost her memory, and then glancing at Chen Duo sitting beside her, quietly picking food for herself.

"This day..."

Zhang Tianyi picked up his juice and clinked it against Wang Ye's, then smiled lazily:

"That's great!"

Chapter 132 A seasoned schemer!

The next morning.

A street park outside Xishan Villa.

The morning sun had just pierced through the thin mist, and apart from a few elderly people practicing Tai Chi, there were hardly any other people in the park.

Zhang Tianyi was sitting on a bench, eating a jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe).

"rustle……"

A deliberately light footstep came from behind the tree wall.

A boy with dyed yellow hair and glasses peeked out like a thief.

It was none other than Lü Liang, the Minghun Technique genius who had been taught a lesson by Zhang Tianyi before.

"My God... are you eating?"

Lu Liang rubbed his hands together, his back hunched, a fawning smile on his face that looked more like a grimace.

He moved closer to the bench, barely daring to breathe.

"Hey, Xiao Liang's here."

Zhang Tianyi slurped up some soy milk and gestured with her chin to the empty seat next to her:

"Sit down. Have you eaten? If not, I'll buy you a pancake."

"I've eaten! I've eaten! How could I trouble Heaven!"

Lu Liang was startled and dared not sit down. He stood obediently to the side like a schoolchild being punished.

He carefully took a specially made small glass bottle out of his pocket.

Inside the bottle, a wisp of blue energy, emitting a faint glow, was slowly floating.

Lu Liang held the glass bottle with both hands and respectfully handed it to Zhang Tianyi:

"My God, the task you entrusted to me has been completed."

"These are the memory fragments extracted from Xia He's mind yesterday..."

Zhang Tianyi swallowed the pancake in his mouth, casually pulled out a tissue to wipe his hands, and took the glass bottle.

He looked at the blue light inside the bottle and gave a sly smile.

"Well done, Xiao Liang."

Zhang Tianyi put the bottle in his pocket and nodded in satisfaction.

"Those extras we found yesterday were pretty professional. They recited their lines perfectly, leaving Lingyu and Xiahe completely bewildered."

"Hehe, it's all thanks to your excellent script."

Lü Liang quickly flattered him, but his eyes revealed a deep sense of awe:

"But God... I really don't understand."

"With your status and power... if you want to know that secret, why don't you just call Xia He over and ask her? If that doesn't work, you can let me extract her memories right in front of you."

"Why go through all this trouble, hiring people, buying drugs, using fake license plates, and staging this whole roadside ambush?"

Upon hearing this question, Zhang Tianyi sighed.

He leaned back on the bench, watching the old man walking his bird in the park, his tone revealing a sense of world-weariness that came from "seeing through family ethics":

"Xiao Liang, you're still too young and don't understand the art of handling family relationships."

Zhang Tianyi held up one finger and began to give Lü Liang a reasoned and well-founded review:

"Think about it, who is Xia He? He is one of the Four Madmen of Quanxing, a seasoned veteran who has crawled out of the Jianghu.

"Although she is now considered half a daughter-in-law of our Celestial Master's Mansion and has pledged her loyalty, we must still be wary of others."

"She brought up a shocking secret, but who knows if she'll keep it to herself? Or if she'll use it as leverage to manipulate that silly boy Lingyu later?"

Zhang Tianyi took a sip of soy milk and continued:

"What if she lies if I ask her directly?"

“If I let you use the Soul-Brightening Technique to slap her brains in front of her… Lingyu might not say it, but he’ll definitely be upset. He’ll think I don’t trust his wife and that I’m cruel, which will chill the children’s hearts.”

"How could I, a kind and gentle elder who loves his juniors, do something that would disrupt family harmony?"

Lu Liang was stunned, his lips twitching wildly.

Kind and approachable?!

Was he really the kind and gentle person who crushed the acting leader of Quanxing Sect to ashes?!

"So, for such a big secret, I have to personally get my hands on it and watch the original footage before I can feel at ease."

Zhang Tianyi slapped her thigh and summarized:

"Look how nice it is now?"

"I asked you to put on this show. Lingyu is now full of guilt, feeling that he didn't protect his wife well. As for Xiahe, she has lost her memory, so she won't get into trouble because of this secret in the future."

"And I not only obtained the most accurate information, but I also became their savior who came from the sky."

"That's what you call a gentle, subtle influence. Everyone's happy, isn't that right?"

Lu Liang swallowed hard, looking at the smiling young Taoist priest drinking soy milk.

I felt a chill run up my spine.

This guy is not only incredibly powerful, but he's also a master of scheming!

Awesome!

"My God... your skills are... brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! I am utterly impressed!"
