A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

When Ye Beichen and Ye Sicheng returned home, their family was already waiting in the living room. Upon seeing the two return, they all gathered around them.

Ye Beichen didn't beat around the bush and explained that Zhang Lingyuan was willing to personally treat Ye Yao's illness.

After hearing this, everyone in the room showed barely concealed excitement on their faces.

Ye Yun couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, can that Taoist priest really save Yao'er?"

Ye Beichen said, "I'm not sure, but we can only give it a try. We've consulted many experts and tried every possible method. Having another way out is better than having no way out at all."

The room fell silent for a moment, and no one spoke.

To be honest, even if it's a lie, people are willing to believe it at this time.

Seeing the somewhat tense atmosphere, Ye Yun changed the subject, saying, "By the way, isn't Su Fan's master Qu Feiming? How come today it sounds like it's this old Taoist priest named Zhang Lingyuan?"

Ye Sicheng casually remarked, "Maybe he had two masters."

Ye Beichen then asked, "I ask you, have Qu Feiming and Su Fan ever officially acknowledged their master-disciple relationship?"

Ye Sicheng paused for a moment, thought carefully, and then said, "It seems there really isn't one, but there is a photo of the two of them together that's been widely circulated online."

Ye Beichen said, "A group photo doesn't prove anything. I remember when Qu Feiming first debuted, he was also targeted and suppressed. Later, I heard that Longhu Mountain stepped in and resolved the matter. Qu Feiming and Longhu Mountain have quite a history."

Ye Sicheng pressed further, "So, according to you, what exactly is the relationship between Qu Feiming and Su Fan? Could they be fellow disciples?"

Ye Beichen nodded: "If that's the case, it makes sense. Qu Feiming's status in the industry over the years is what it is, so why does he always go to such lengths to protect Su Fan?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces showed a look of sudden realization.

……

Su Fan returned to the hotel with his master and senior brother. Su Fan couldn't help but exclaim, "Master, I never imagined you had such great power! If I had known it would be like this, why would I have bothered with all this trouble? I could have just had you make a move and we would have had everything we needed."

Zhang Lingyuan glanced at him and slowly picked up his teacup: "When you came down the mountain, didn't I tell you that if you encountered anything outside, just call me? Your master still has some influence."

Su Fan smiled wryly, "I knew you had influence, but I never imagined it would be this great! These big shots in Kyoto, whom I usually can't even get a chance to meet, all came at once the moment you showed up. If you had explained this to me earlier, would I have had to be here all alone, fighting wits and exhausting myself?"

"Who told you not to ask?"

Su Fan was taken aback by these words and could only awkwardly say, "Okay, okay, it's my fault. With you as my backer, can I just walk around Kyoto with my head held high?"

"I can only guarantee that you won't be bullied, not that you can act like a tyrant."

Su Fan, feeling rebuffed, rubbed his nose and didn't say anything more, instead asking about something else: "By the way, Master, what do you think about Ye Yao...?"

"I'll go to the hospital tomorrow and see what they say then."

……

After learning that Zhang Lingyuan was Su Fan's master, He Xiaoxiao went to Qu Feiming's house after having dinner with Xu Meng that evening.

As soon as he entered, he asked, "Grandpa, Su Fan's other master came today."

Qu Feiming was somewhat confused: "What do you mean?"

"An old Taoist priest went to the company today, and Su Fan called him 'Master' in front of everyone."

Upon hearing this, Qu Feiming also stood up abruptly, his face filled with disbelief: "What did you say?"

He Xiaoxiao was startled by her grandfather's reaction: "Grandpa, why are you so agitated? Didn't Su Fan tell you he was going to become someone else's disciple?"

Qu Feiming didn't respond to that question, but instead pressed on, "What did that old Taoist priest look like?"

"He's just an ordinary old man, but he's incredibly energetic."

"Besides that old Taoist priest, is there anyone else?"

"There's another one, I heard Su Fan call him Second Senior Brother."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qu Feiming could no longer contain his emotions. He paced back and forth in the room, muttering to himself, his face filled with excitement. After a long while, he finally stopped and asked anxiously, "Where are they now?"

"How would I know?" He Xiaoxiao was a little confused by Qu Feiming's attitude. "Grandpa, why are you so agitated? If you want to know, just call your apprentice Su Fan and ask, won't that be enough?"

Qu Feiming slapped his forehead and quickly pulled out his phone to make the call.

The call was quickly answered, and Su Fan's voice came from the other end: "Old Qu, what's the matter?"

Qu Feiming quickly said, "Don't flatter me. I'm asking you, have your master and your senior brother come to the capital?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

On the other end of the phone, Qu Feiming's face immediately fell, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Before he could speak, Su Fan reacted first, his tone apologetic: "Look at my memory, I'm so sorry, Mr. Qu, I forgot about you."

Qu Feiming didn't respond to that question, but instead asked, "Then could you ask me if it would be convenient for me to meet with them?"

Su Fan responded and turned to Xu Xingzhi, who was sitting to the side, and called out, "Second Senior Brother, Qu Feiming said he wants to see you."

Xu Xingzhi looked up and said, "Oh, it's him. Okay, have him come to your company tomorrow afternoon."

Su Fan then said into the phone, "Mr. Qu, please come to the company tomorrow afternoon."

Upon hearing this, Qu Feiming immediately replied, "Okay, okay, I'll definitely be there tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, He Xiaoxiao couldn't understand her grandfather's attitude at all: "Grandpa, what's going on? Why do you seem to care so much about Su Fan's master and senior brother?"

You'll find out later.

Qu Feiming didn't explain; his thoughts had already been drawn back to the scene of his journey to Longhu Mountain to become an apprentice.

After hanging up the phone, Su Fan looked at Xu Xingzhi curiously: "Second Senior Brother, is this Qu Feiming really your disciple?"

Xu Xingzhi nodded: "I guess so, but he's not quite the same as Jing Chen. I'm the one who's going to seriously teach Jing Chen skills, while Qu Feiming is a lay disciple. My master asked me to take him in back then, and I haven't paid much attention to him. It's just a title."

Zhang Lingyuan, who was standing to the side, said, "That man is quite fortunate. When I looked at his face back then, I saw that he would face a calamity and danger. But out of respect for that old man who made a living by performing incense, I had my second brother take him in."

Su Fan listened with some emotion: "Fate is truly a wondrous thing. A disciple you casually had your second senior brother take in years ago has, years later, crossed paths with me, his later disciple. The cause and effect in this world are truly interconnected."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lingyuan said meaningfully, "All things in this world, though seemingly chaotic, are actually connected by threads in the shadows. What you think is a coincidence may not be a coincidence, and what you think is the will of Heaven may not be unintentional. The concepts of cause and effect are never created out of thin air."
