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

She nodded very seriously and continued in a soft, sweet voice:

"Yes, Master is the brightest. The way they look at us is like how those uncles and aunts in white coats used to look at monkeys in the bunker."

"..."

Zhang Tianyi stumbled and almost fell flat on his face.

That's a brilliant analogy!

Why does this girl always speak so bluntly and directly, hitting the nail on the head?

"Ahem, that's admiration! That's worship!"

Zhang Tianyi forced himself to save face, coughing twice to cover his embarrassment, "Come on, your master will take you back to the main camp of our Celestial Master's Mansion!"

He held his head high, waved his sleeves, and led Chen Duo with an imposing air toward the main gate of Longhu Mountain.

At the ticket gate, several uniformed staff members were maintaining order, while two young Taoist priests stood nearby to maintain discipline.

Zhang Tianyi didn't even glance at the tourists queuing to buy tickets, and directly led Chen Duo into the VIP channel of the turnstile.

"Hey hey hey! You handsome guy in the white shirt, and you beautiful lady behind him! Wait a minute!"

A ticket inspector wearing glasses quickly reached out and stopped the two people who didn't look like ordinary people.

"Gentlemen, please show your tickets or ticket QR codes to enter the mountain. Scan the gate here to pass."

Zhang Tianyi stopped, pulled down his sunglasses to reveal a pair of clear eyes, and pointed to his nose.

"Buy tickets?"

He looked as if he had heard something out of the blue, his face filled with disbelief:

"Dude, don't you know anyone who works here? I'm going home, and you're making me buy a ticket?"

The ticket inspector was taken aback and looked Zhang Tianyi up and down.

"Your own home? Are you a Taoist priest from the Celestial Master's Mansion?"

"Isn't that obvious? Isn't my hand-sewn Taoist robe enough to make it stand out?"

Zhang Tianyi raised his chin confidently, ready to enjoy the treatment of being let go with trepidation.

As a result, a young Taoist priest came over from the side.

He glanced at Zhang Tianyi's face, which was even more exquisite than that of a popular celebrity, and then at Chen Duo, who was stunningly beautiful behind him.

He gave an understanding smile, as if to say, "I've seen it all."

"Dude, judging from your outfits, are you cosplay influencers or those ancient costume fashion show streamers?"

The young Taoist priest, with a businesslike demeanor, pointed to the notice board beside him:

"Now our scenic area is strictly managed. Even if internet celebrities come to take photos, they still have to buy tickets."

unless……"

The young Taoist priest shrugged: "Unless you have a formal Taoist certificate issued by the state, or can get your name listed in our Celestial Master's Mansion's internal personnel system."

Do you have one?

"If you don't have identification, then I'm sorry, even if you wear the most fancy Taoist robes, you still have to scan the code to buy a ticket."

"The full price is 260, but students can get a 50% discount with their student ID."

"..."

Zhang Tianyi's composure instantly froze.

A Taoist certificate?!

I'm an old relic from the last century, where am I supposed to get a modern Taoist certificate from you guys?!

Relying on facial recognition in the HR system?

When I went into seclusion, your grandpas were still wearing open-crotch pants!

That fat bastard Zhao Fangxu, couldn't he at least get me a work permit?!

"Hey bro, you're being a bit too stubborn."

Zhang Tianyi persisted, attempting to get closer to him:

"Go up the mountain and ask anyone of a higher generation. Mention my name, Zhang Tianyi, and see who dares to stop me."

The young Taoist priest rolled his eyes, clearly having seen this kind of trick many times before.

"Handsome guy, there are at least eighty or a hundred internet celebrities here every day pretending to be masters from the Celestial Master's Mansion in an attempt to sneak in without paying."

“Yesterday, a guy insisted that he was the reincarnation of Zhang Sanfeng.”

"Stop performing here, there are so many people waiting in the back."

Zhang Tianyi was truly speechless.

He wanted to get angry, but looking at the young Taoist priest's dutiful demeanor, he couldn't really slap him against the wall.

After all, this was a junior member of their own sect who worked at the bottom.

But, they turned around dejectedly and went to queue up to buy tickets for 260 yuan.

Does he even care about Tian Shu Zhenren's reputation anymore?!

If Zhang Chulan or Wang Ye's grandsons knew this, they'd probably laugh at him for the rest of his life!

"Master."

Just when Zhang Tianyi was in a dilemma, Chen Duo very considerately came over.

She held the doll in one hand, while her other little hand had already silently formed a starting stance.

Chen Duo lowered her voice, her clear eyes filled with sincerity:

"Is this guy trying to cause trouble? Should I knock him out and we just cross over?"

Although the young Taoist priest didn't quite catch what Chen Duo said, seeing the pretty girl suddenly assume a fighting stance, he was so startled that he took a half-step back and quickly grabbed the walkie-talkie from his chest:

"What are you doing? Trying to sneak in without a ticket? I'm calling security!"

"No, no, no, girl, put your hand down. We are civilized people."

Zhang Tianyi quickly grabbed Chen Duo's hand, feeling a throbbing vein on his forehead.

If they really electrocuted this ticket-checking Taoist priest, tomorrow's headline news in the world of supernatural beings would be:

Shocking! Master Tian Shu beats up a temporary ticket checker at Longhu Mountain for evading a ticket!

This is even more embarrassing!

"Great job, young man. You're very dedicated. I have high hopes for you; you're definitely this year's outstanding employee."

Zhang Tianyi took a deep breath and gave the young Taoist priest a thumbs up.

Then, he naturally grabbed Chen Duo's wrist.

"Girl, close your eyes."

next second.

The two living people who were standing in front of the turnstile vanished into thin air right under the little Taoist's nose!

It was completely clean, without even a trace left!

"..."

The young Taoist priest's hand, holding the walkie-talkie, froze in mid-air.

He stared blankly at the empty turnstile, rubbed his eyes, and then slapped his forehead hard.

"Holy crap... In broad daylight... Is this some kind of ghost?!"

The young Taoist priest was so frightened that his legs went weak, and he sat down on the stone stool next to him with a thud, his face turning deathly pale.

"These days... even ghosts dare to come to Longhu Mountain!"

……

At this moment.

The back of Longhu Mountain.

"Shh!"

A flash of purple-gold lightning.

Zhang Tianyi and Chen Duo landed steadily on the stone steps.

"Phew...that was close, I almost ruined my reputation."

Zhang Tianyi released Chen Duo's hand and straightened the hem of his Taoist robe that had been lifted up.

He coughed twice in a mock manner, then turned to Chen Duo to begin his lecture:

"Girl, you must remember that we cultivators cannot bully the weak."

“That young Taoist priest isn’t having an easy time either. He only earns a pittance a month. If we force our way in, he’ll have his performance bonus deducted. Do you understand?”

Chen Duo took a sip of the tapioca pearls in her milk tea and nodded obediently.

"I understand. Master is a good person and doesn't want that young man to have his salary docked."

Hearing his apprentice's unconditional trust and adoration in his tone.

Zhang Tianyi blushed slightly, but quickly accepted the praise with a sense of entitlement.

"Let's go! We'll be there soon."

The two walked up the stone steps.

Zhang Tianyi's mood quickly brightened again.

As he walked, he kept glancing at Chen Duo out of the corner of his eye, and he felt incredibly pleased with himself!

Through the essence of that divine tree and his own creative abilities.

Chen Duo is now a genuine person with a flawless innate physique!

As this girl walked down the street, the Qi within her body resembled a perfect Tai Chi circle.
