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

Although Xu Si usually acted carefree and irresponsible, he didn't dare to act recklessly in front of such a real big shot.

He obediently hid the cigarette he had just lit behind his back and bowed slightly.

"Ah."

Zhang Zhiwei nodded lightly, his gaze sweeping over the Xu brothers before finally settling on the still-smoking cigarette butt, without saying a word.

He turned to the side, pointed at Zhang Tianyi beside him, his tone calm, yet as powerful as a thunderclap:

Let me introduce you.

"This is my junior brother."

"His Daoist name is Tian Shu."

boom!

If Zhang Chulan's words just now only made Xu San and Xu Si think he was going crazy, then the Old Master's personal introduction at this moment was like a bombshell exploding in their ears.

Xu San's gold-rimmed glasses nearly slipped off his nose, and even his usually composed voice changed tone:

"Junior Brother... Junior Brother?!"

Xu Si's mouth gaped open, the cigarette butt hidden behind his back burning his hand, and he forgot to throw it away. He stared at the trendy man with a look of utter disbelief.

"Old Celestial Master, you...you're not kidding, are you? This guy...uh, this senior, looks even younger than Zhang Chulan!"

This is outrageous!

The old Celestial Master is over a hundred years old. His junior brother?

That person must be at least a centenarian, right?

Even this de-aging process has to follow basic principles!

He's turned into a young heartthrob!

"What? You don't look like it to me?"

Zhang Tianyi looked away from her phone screen, took off her sunglasses, and casually hung them on her collar.

His eyes seemed calm, but when they swept over Xu San and Xu Si, the two of them felt a chill run down their spines, as if they were being stared at by some kind of prehistoric beast.

That sense of oppression, which came from the depths of my soul, was even sharper and more direct than when I was facing the old master!

If the Old Master is like the ocean, unfathomable yet calm on the surface.

The young man before you is like a thunderstorm—raging, dangerous, and capable of destroying everything at any moment.

"So alike! Absolutely so!"

Before the Xu brothers could speak, Zhang Chulan had already slid to Zhang Tianyi's side.

He held his head high, like a fox borrowing the tiger's power, pointing at Zhang Tianyi and frantically winking at Xu San and Xu Si:

"Third brother! Fourth brother! Did you see that?"

"This is the second advisor I was just talking about!"

"My dear advisor! Genuine product! Honest and fair to all, young and old!"

"My master simply has the art of preserving his youth, but his cultivation is extraordinary! Don't let his youth fool you, back in the world of supernatural beings, he was... he was..."

Zhang Chulan got stuck. He didn't actually know about his advisor's glorious deeds back then, but that didn't stop him from bragging:

"That's something that could poke a hole in the sky!"

Seeing Zhang Chulan's arrogant and domineering behavior, Xu Si's lips twitched, but he couldn't suppress the shock in his heart.

Is he really from the senior master's generation?

And he was Zhang Huaiyi's senior brother?

Zhang Chulan's background... instantly changed from "a rat that everyone hates" to "the illegitimate son of a top-tier wealthy family"!

How will we manage things once everything is connected?

"Alright, stop bragging. If you keep bragging, you'll laugh your front teeth out."

Zhang Tianyi pushed Zhang Chulan away with a look of disgust, then took two steps forward and stood in front of Xu Si.

Xu Si subconsciously tensed his body and unconsciously began to circulate his Qi wildly.

The person in front of him had a very strange aura. Even though he had no intention of killing, every cell in his body was screaming "danger!"

"You're that...Xu Si?"

Zhang Tianyi looked Xu Si up and down, his gaze finally settling on Xu Si's right hand hidden behind his back.

There, a wisp of smoke was rising.

"Senior...Senior, I am Xu Si."

Xu Si forced a smile and asked, "What advice do you have for me, senior?"

"I wouldn't call it giving advice."

Zhang Tianyi shrugged, extended a long, slender, white finger, and gently tapped behind Xu Si from a distance.

No one even noticed any change.

But next second.

"Zi."

A faint, almost inaudible hum of electricity was heard.

Xu Si felt a sudden lightness in his hand.

The cigarette that had been held between my fingers, after I'd only taken two puffs, vanished instantly.

It directly... vaporized.

Not a single ash was left behind, as if the cigarette had never existed.

Xu Si didn't even feel any heat in his fingers; his fingertips were just slightly numb, as if he had been stung by static electricity.

"This……"

Xu Si's pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

As a senior executive at Nadutong, he is quite knowledgeable and experienced.

He wasn't afraid if the opponent used lightning to shatter the cigarette.

But this method...

By controlling the raging power of lightning down to the micrometer level, it instantly generates ultra-high temperature vaporized objects without harming the skin that is in close contact with it in the slightest.

This level of control is simply superhuman!

If you put that on his throat, or his heart...

Xu Si dared not think about it anymore.

"This is the inner courtyard of the Celestial Master's Mansion, and the buildings here are all wooden structures that are hundreds or even thousands of years old."

Zhang Tianyi withdrew his finger, blew away non-existent dust, and grinned at the already stiff Xu Si.

That smile was bright and harmless.

"Also, I can't stand the smell of smoke, and my throat is sensitive."

"so……"

Zhang Tianyi pointed to the sky, his tone light, yet carrying an undeniable air of dominance:

"Wherever I am, within a hundred meters."

"No smoking."

"Did you understand, Xiao Xu?"

Xu Si's Adam's apple bobbed as he looked at the young, smiling face, feeling a chill run straight to the top of his head.

This is not being spoiled at all.

This is an attempt to establish authority!

This is telling NaDuTong, telling everyone—

On this Longhu Mountain, he set the rules!

"I...I understand."

Xu Si took a deep breath, and the roguish, cynical air on his face vanished instantly.

He straightened up and bowed his head respectfully:

"I was presumptuous, thank you for your guidance, Master Tian Shu."

Xu San, standing to the side, didn't dare to breathe loudly; his hand, which was pushing up his glasses, was trembling slightly.

Strong.

too strong.

Moreover, this strength is not the kind of unfathomable, back-to-basics strength that the old master possessed.

Rather, it is a naked, flamboyant, and aggressive power!

"sensible."

Zhang Tianyi nodded in satisfaction, then turned and patted Zhang Chulan, who was still in a daze:

"Alright, my dear grandson, take your friends and get lost."

"Remember what I said, give me a good beating at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony."

"If you lose, I'll pluck out your virginity mark and use it as marbles."

After saying that, Zhang Tianyi didn't look at the crowd again, put his hands in his pockets, and walked side by side with the old master into the depths of the corridor.

"Second brother, what you did just now scared that little kid."

"Pshaw, that's called civic education. You're lucky if you don't get fined for smoking in public."

"You...you still love to play so much..."
