Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five

"Old Celestial Master... what are you talking about?" Zhou Fengliu asked tentatively.

"Hmm...you and Lingyu, is there some kind of story between you?"

"?" Hearing the old master's words, Zhou Fengliu was silent for a second before asking, "He...didn't he tell you?"

"That kid... he's really stubborn."

Hearing the old Celestial Master say this, Zhou Fengliu decided not to hide anything from Zhang Lingyu anymore. After all, it was something that would be found out sooner or later, so there was no point in him keeping it a secret. So he began to tell the old Celestial Master what had happened back then:

"It's not really a story, it's more like an accident..."

The old master listened quietly to the love and hate between the young man and his disciple. After listening, he understood why Zhang Lingyu refused to say how he lost his virginity.

His first time was given to a prostitute... This was unacceptable to Zhang Lingyu.

"Master, you tell me... how can this be my fault? I'm completely innocent. I admit I had a few drinks at the time, but putting the facts aside, could I just stand by and watch him strike a pose?"

"He even complained that I didn't stop him. I was just an ordinary person back then, how could I possibly handle him... He, on the other hand, had a great time, and it took him quite a while. I paid twice the price..."

"To me, this is a completely undeserved disaster..."

Zhou Fengliu explained the matter clearly to the Old Master, asking him to judge the matter.

"Have you told anyone about this?" the old master asked.

"Me? Not yet, I'm keeping my mouth shut."

"I understand. This matter... is not your fault. This is Lingyu's tribulation." The old celestial master narrowed his eyes slightly and then said:

"I thought it was something big... but this is all?"

The old master said that all the love, hate, and grudges he imagined had vanished like bubbles.

"Old Celestial Master, why do I feel... you're still a little disappointed?" Zhou Fengliu seemed to sense that the Old Celestial Master was still not satisfied.

"Ah, it's nothing." The old master stared at Zhou Fengliu for a moment, then spoke after a brief silence:

"What kind of martial art are you practicing? Your Qi is too much and not substantial, it's very restless, young man."

"?"

When asked by the old celestial master, Zhou Fengliu casually replied, "Old celestial master, I am just a wandering monk, without any sect or faction."

His answer was hasty.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

He's not a local.

We can't exactly tell the old master that we're part of the system faction, can we? Their main selling point is their cheat-like cultivation method.

"Ah."

Faced with Zhou Fengliu's vague answer, the old master did not press him further. He simply pondered for a moment before offering a few words of guidance.

"It's good for young people to be energetic, but they shouldn't be too impetuous. No matter what kind of cultivation method they practice, cultivating Qi is important, but cultivating the mind is even more important. The so-called dual cultivation of body and mind is indispensable."

Um...

Just as Zhou Fengliu was still immersed in the old celestial master's two words of guidance, the old celestial master had already left his sight.

Cultivating the mind...

Zhou Fengliu watched the old master leave. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that he really should cultivate his mind. So-called strength should include not only theoretical strength but also mindset.

Having power without the corresponding character will inevitably lead to mental health issues sooner or later...

Zhou Fengliu was also aware of this.

Just take that battle against the Four Madmen of Quanxing last time, Gao Ning used the Twelve Labors of Passion Formation to make him look so pathetic...

If it weren't for some of the Four Madmen of Quanxing slacking off and others running away... he really wouldn't have been able to kill that old bald monk Gao Ning.

of course.

If Gao Ning had known that two of his teammates were slacking off and not contributing, and the only one contributing was just observing from the sidelines, he probably would have died with his eyes wide open in disbelief. It wasn't that the opponents were too strong, but that there was a traitor among his teammates!

...

But how do we cultivate our character?

Zhou Fengliu stroked his chin, thought for two seconds, and then realized that this problem couldn't be solved in the short term.

...

A moment later.

On the field where Yi Baihu was competing, Zhou Fengliu had just arrived when he saw Zhang Chulan take off his black cloak and cover the head of the last opponent, kicking him repeatedly.

"Holy crap, what is this thing?!"

"The successor of the Qi Body Source Stream! Do you have absolutely no shame?!"

"Shameless!"

Zhang Chulan's outrageous actions immediately drew a barrage of curses from the audience. However, Zhang Chulan showed no shame and even waved his hand at the audience.

This series of actions has further damaged his public image...

"Brother Liu? How did I do just now?" Zhang Chulan came down from the stage and saw Feng Baobao and Zhou Fengliu.

"I didn't see the whole thing, I only saw the scene where you were shameless," Zhou Fengliu said.

"When you're in the martial world, you're not in control of your own destiny. If I don't do it this way, the three of them will gang up on me and beat me up." Zhang Chulan said that he had to hide his skills and not reveal his methods.

"Fine, Zhang Chulan, I'm impressed."

On the other side, the Feng siblings also came over. Feng Xingtong and Feng Shayan watched Zhang Chulan's entire match. As for Zhang's performance, Feng Xingtong could only say that it was very impressive and unique.

"Hehe, as long as we win, that's all that matters," Zhang Chulan replied.

"I heard something happened on your end?" Feng Shayan asked Zhou Fengliu.

“What do you mean by causing trouble? It’s just a normal sparring match. How about yours?” Zhou Fengliu retorted.

“Easy peasy.” Feng Shayan paused for a moment: “As long as we don’t run into those favorites to win the championship, there won’t be any major problems.”

"What if you run into Big Brother?" Feng Xingtong interjected when she heard her older sister bragging.

“Then I’ll…” Feng Shayan answered subconsciously, then realized that the question was asked by her own younger brother. She turned around and glared at Feng Xingtong.

"You jinx! Hurry up and go compete."

"Okay, okay..." Feng Xingtong smiled as he left, instructing the others not to come and watch his match.

After leaving Zhou Fengliu and the others, Feng Shayan stroked her chin and muttered to herself, "Hmm... I shouldn't be this unlucky."

“Indeed, I also hope I don’t run into my older brother.” That’s what Feng Xingtong thought.

...

On Zhou Fengliu's side, Xu San and Xu Si called them and asked them to go to the competition venue to watch the game.

"You're here." Xu Si greeted them as they approached.

"Hmm, was there anything exciting about this match?" Zhang Chulan asked.

"It's nothing, I just asked you to come and watch the next game."

"The next game?"

“Oh, the Vermilion Bird of Bing, the battle with Zhuge Qing…” Xu Si said slowly.

"The match between Group B (Azure Serpent) has ended. Next up is Group C (Vermilion Bird)!"

As the voices of the Celestial Master's Mansion disciples rang out, Zhuge Qing and the other three entered the competition venue, and the competition soon began.

As with other matches featuring favorites to win, Zhuge Qing was immediately surrounded and attacked by the other three players.

...

P.S.: The rating is out, 5.9. I know my writing isn't very good, but it's... too outrageous.

Woo woo woo.

The humble author is saddened online.

Chapter 55 Try it and you'll die! (First update)

Faced with the three's attack, Zhuge Qing seemed to have mastered the art of movement, dodging all the attacks one by one. In the end, he even reversed the opponent's tactics, defeating them with his own.

This move completely stunned Zhang Chulan.

"Bing Zhuque, Zhuge Qingsheng!"

As the referee announced the result, Xu Si clicked his tongue and said, "This Zhuge Qing is really not easy to deal with..."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Zhou Fengliu beside him: "Little Zhou, go, go and take care of this Zhuge Qing..."

"Huh?" Zhou Fengliu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "Me?"

...

After watching Zhuge Qing's match, Zhou Fengliu, Zhang Chulan, and the others headed to the next competition venue. They had only gone halfway when they saw two people arguing in the distance.

"Damn it, Linglong is gone, and now I have no one to go all in!" Canglong was very frustrated. He never expected that Lu Linglong would be eliminated so quickly.

"You fatso, if you don't have that little girl, you can vote for someone else, like Zhang Lingyu, Zhuge Qing, or that Zhou Fengliu..." He was speaking to a girl with purple hair named Bai Shixue.

"Don't mention Zhou Fengliu to me... I'm his sworn enemy!"

Hearing someone mention Zhou Fengliu again, Zhang Chulan pricked up his ears and listened for a couple of minutes. When he heard the phrase "sworn enemies," he turned to Zhou Fengliu and said:

"Brother Liu, listen to this..."

Hearing the commotion, both Canglong and Bai Shixue turned their gazes over. When they saw Zhou Fengliu, Canglong's chubby face was completely dumbfounded.

"You fatso...you're doomed." Bai Shixue looked like she was about to watch a good show.

"I..." Canglong coughed lightly, "What's so miserable about me? What I just said was that Zhou Fengliu is truly worthy of his name, I want to watch his matches every day!"

Canglong retracted a message and then showered him with compliments.

This is not cowardice.

This comes from the heart.
