Meanwhile, on the back mountain of the Celestial Master's Mansion, extraordinary individuals who had traveled from afar came one after another to pay their respects to the current pinnacle of the extraordinary world—the Old Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei.

Xia Linyuan also temporarily bid farewell to Feng Xingtong and arrived at the foot of Longhu Mountain to meet Dou Le and others.

"Hey kid, you're the only one missing here!"

Xia Linyuan was searching for the location based on Dou Lefa's location when suddenly a potato-like head popped out of the window above his head, with a few sprouts on its head swaying in the wind.

"coming."

Xia Linyuan responded and entered the hotel.

Upon entering the room, the bed used for sleeping was moved to the side, and Dr. Hua, Dou Le, and Xiao Zizai sat around a table.

Dr. Hua pointed to the empty bench: "Come on, sit down, we're one short for the game."

Dou Le pulled a red cloth bag from under the table and placed it on the table, scattering the green mahjong tiles. Dou Le casually lit a cigarette and tossed the cigarette and lighter to Dr. Hua.

The room was instantly filled with smoke.

Xiao Zizai, who doesn't smoke, said while shuffling the cards, "How's Xiao Yuan doing in Tianjin? Has he found any news about your father?"

Xia Linyuan said with a slight smile, "We haven't heard from my father, but we found my grandfather's grave."

"Hmph, found grandpa, but your information's been exposed too! So naive!" Dou Le, with a sour face, played a card: "One of Ten Thousand."

"Xiao Yuan, please accept my condolences." Dr. Hua said, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, the rising smoke obscuring his eyes. "Thirty thousand."

“It’s been over ten years, I was mentally prepared.” Xia Linyuan also played a card, “Weren’t we here to discuss how to deal with Quanxing? Why are you so relaxed?”

"The guy from North China is saying that the Four Madmen came from North China. It won't be difficult for us to play support," Dou Le said helplessly. "You can just work with Lao Xiao when the time comes."

"We have other things to discuss." Xiao Zizai glanced at the tiles in his hand, his face lighting up with delight: "A six of characters in a meld."

"What's wrong?" Xia Linyuan asked, puzzled.

"Someone sent me confidential information: Old Liao from South China is dead. It seems like one of his temporary workers killed him. The higher-ups are starting to pay attention to you guys." Dou Le took a deep drag on his cigarette, sparks flying. He gave Xia Linyuan a long look. "The higher-ups want to get rid of your temporary workers. Do you have any ideas?"

"Xiao Yuan, why don't you try playing Chairman Zhao?" Dr. Hua suggested tentatively.

"Send me Chairman Zhao's personality, qualifications, and photo, and I'll give it a try?"

Xia Linyuan raised an eyebrow and said

“Old Dou is just a lowly employee; he doesn’t have the qualifications of Chairman Zhao.” Xiao Zizai straightened his eyes and said elegantly, “Let’s keep a low profile during this time.”

"I actually have an idea." Xia Linyuan picked up a One of Bamboo tile, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he suddenly said.

Then he sent over the photos of Feng Baobao from his phone.

"This is the person I met in North China."

"He possessed the appearance of a celestial being, devoid of emotion. He single-handedly conquered the entire Tianxia Society."

"A perforated heart, yet she didn't die. This fighting spirit, this vitality, I strongly suspect she was a temporary worker in North China."

Dou Le, who was extremely sensitive to this matter, tentatively asked, "You want to win over North China?"

"We need to win over not only North China, but all regions."

"This is quite difficult," Dr. Hua (whose given name was Dr. Hua) said thoughtfully.

"It's all up to people. This girl seems a bit dim-witted. Not very bright. It just so happens that she's also going to participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony. Dr. Hua, you'll have to test her for me then," Xia Linyuan said to Dr. Hua.

"That's easy. We're experts at disguise," Dr. Hua said confidently.

"Xiao Yuan, isn't it a bit difficult to win over other regions?" Xiao Zizai said slowly.

Xia Linyuan pondered for a moment, then compromised and said, "We don't necessarily have to win them over; we need to make our stance clear."

“We are employees, and the boss is most afraid that the employees will stop working. Besides, there are temporary workers in more than just our district.”

"Let's leak this information so the regional leaders can meet up and discuss things. It doesn't necessarily have to come to any conclusions, it's just about making a statement that will make the higher-ups hesitate to act!"

"You can use temporary workers! You have to give me a reason. Otherwise, whether it's a strike or a rebellion, the board of directors will decide for themselves."

Dou Le pondered for a moment after hearing this, and said, "These are all feasible options. However, you'll have to handle the situation well if the board of directors raises any objections."

"That's the main event. We'll all take the blame together." Xia Linyuan looked at the cards in his hand, a flash of joy crossing his face. He was going to get Thirteen Orphans!

Xiao Zizai smiled slightly: "Xiao Yuan, you're so naughty."

He then drew a card and said calmly.

"杠"

"Keep arguing."

"Tsk, keep arguing."

"Finally, let's argue one more time."

"Open the bar."

Xiao Zizai neatly arranged the mahjong tiles in front of him, calmly adjusting his glasses: "Cash or WeChat?"

Three of each of the four sets of sixty thousand, seventy thousand, eighty thousand, and ninety thousand, plus two red dragons!

Dou Le was dumbfounded: "Holy crap! Lao Xiao, are you playing with your life?!"

Xia Linyuan sighed silently as he looked at his Thirteen Orphans hand, which was just one Red Dragon left. He calmly covered the tiles and said, "Here's my WeChat, I'll write it down for now. Shuffle for the next round."

"Xiao Yuan, you seem quite interested."

"Next round, I'll definitely play Thirteen Orphans!"

Chapter 21 Zhang Chulan's Roots

Longhu Mountain is the birthplace of early Taoism in China. Zhang Daoling, the founder of the Zhengyi sect, once practiced alchemy here. When the elixir was completed, dragons and tigers appeared, hence the name of the mountain.

"This is a 5A-level scenic spot. I've been working in East China for so long, and this is my first time visiting a tourist attraction."

Xia Linyuan looked at the travel guide on his phone and said with some emotion.

"Longhu Mountain is the Celestial Master's territory, what major problems could possibly arise? Even if something does happen, it won't be your turn!"

Dou Le, standing next to Xia Linyuan, took a big gulp of bubble tea and said, "This stuff is so sweet. Why do young people love drinking this stuff?"

"Here you go."

Xia Linyuan shook his head: "I won't drink your imported milk tea."

After saying that, he looked at Xiao Zizai and said, "Master, would you like to see your disciple's performance at Luo Tian Da Zhan?"

"Does it find anything interesting?" Xiao Zizai said indifferently.

Xia Linyuan gave an awkward laugh: "I guess not... hahaha..."

Ding Dong

Zang Long: [Yuan'er, have you gone up the mountain yet? Xing Tong and I have arrived.]

Xia Linyuan: [Immediately.]

"Master, Uncle Dou, I'm going up the mountain. Call me if you need anything."

"Get out of here, you brat! Trying to show off your English again? I'll beat you up if you don't!"

Dou Le raised the milk tea as if to throw it away.

"No, no, no, it's not good to litter at tourist attractions. Bye-bye."

Xia Linyuan chuckled and ran up the mountain with the flow of tourists.

Dou Le watched Xia Linyuan's retreating figure, a warm smile appearing on her face.

"After finding his grandfather's grave, the kid became much more cheerful."

"There have indeed been changes..."

Xiao Zizai adjusted his glasses and walked towards the forest, disappearing from sight in no time.

.........

"Oh dear, the ticket costs 260. Does the Tianxia Society reimburse us for it?"

Xia Linyuan suddenly felt a pang of pain; going up the mountain to fight cost money, which seemed a bit wasteful.

"Most of the front part of Longhu Mountain is managed by the Tourism Bureau. Even the Taoist priests of the Celestial Master's Mansion only manage a tiny bit of the area."

"Hehe, what good things in this world hasn't the tourism bureau gotten its hands on?"

Hearing the familiar voices, Xia Linyuan looked over. Who else could it be but Zhang Chulan, Xu Si, and the others?

Xia Linyuan sighed inwardly. He activated the Ghost Step technique, minimizing the sound of his footsteps to reduce his presence.

But they had only taken one step when...

Feng Baobao suddenly turned around

This startled Xia Linyuan.

"Zhang Chulan! Look, that person is here."

Zhang Chulan looked over and met Xia Linyuan's gaze. His lower lip gradually bulged, and he grabbed Xia Linyuan's collar with a look of rage: "Look! Who's this! Isn't this that runaway kid! What a small world! Bao'er, let's get him!"
