One person: Longhushan security guard, stopped the Ten Elders until they cried!

The square outside the Tianshi Hall.

When Zhou Yan arrived here, he followed Rong Shan.

Seven or eight gray bread trucks lined up in a long queue, their engines roaring to life at the same time.

[Buzz—Buzz—]

"No, it's too big to fit!"

"Go! Push harder!"

A man in a gray uniform was shoving the last member of the Quanxing gang into the carriage.

I saw that security guard uniform.

The one-eyed man, whose body was already half-stuffed into the bread cart, suddenly turned his head!

"So you're the one who led the charge in hitting me with a club, right?!"

The rope dug into his flesh, blood seeping out, and he struggled until his face turned red.

"You little bastard...I remember your face!"

Let's walk—

He hadn't finished speaking.

Xu Si's shoe soles, brimming with power, left an imprint on his large face!

boom!

The van door closed, leaving half of the one-eyed man's head stuck outside, and the van drove off, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"What the hell are you talking about!"

Xu Si dusted off his trousers and suddenly turned his head.

The fierce look on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a radiant, almost trembling smile.

He jogged up the steps, grabbed Zhou Yan's right hand with both hands, and shook it up and down like he was rocking a tractor.

"Brother Zhou! You should rest!" Xu Si hunched over, his face full of obsequiousness.

"That grandson Chu Lan refuses to accept the ordination no matter what, so we won't spend the night on this mountain!"

Farewell...

An employee just took a picture of the pile of bodies at the foot of the mountain...

shocking!

The boy in front of me, supposedly "maintaining order," was far more terrifying than the entire Quanxing gang combined in the carriage...

Zhou Yan smiled and withdrew his hand, then glanced into the hall as if to say:

"Don't rush off, I saw some cigarette butts in the hall..."

Xu Si was utterly shocked!

"Well, I'm in a hurry to get back to work, so goodbye forever..."

It's goodbye forever!

Xu Si slipped away and darted into the carriage!

They sped away from the scene, following behind the convoy.

Rong Shan burst into laughter as he watched Xu Si flee in disarray!

"Let's go in, Brother Zhou..."

Inside the Celestial Master Hall.

Lu Linglong stood to the side with a pout, looking preoccupied.

Zhang Lingyu has inexplicably turned black and white...

It stood alone on the other side, looking up at the sky.

The old celestial master and Lu Jin were chatting in the main seat when they saw Zhou Yan and quickly waved:

"Little Zhou, you must be exhausted from this religious ceremony. Come over here quickly."

Zhou Yan approached and grinned:

"Not tired! It's my duty!"

He stood ramrod straight, his legs stretched out perfectly!

He was practically ready to give a security guard's salute right there on the spot.

"Besides, didn't you just give me double my salary?"

Zhang Zhiwei and Lu Jin across from him exchanged a smile.

"You little brat!"

Lu Jin stroked his beard, slapped his thigh, and laughed.

That old bull-nose...

He's the world's biggest miser!

How much was added?

Monthly base salary.

Two thousand five hundred yuan!

This kid captured four madmen and two of the six thieves alive in one night.

He single-handedly killed the Corpse Demon and thwarted the grand conspiracy of the acting leader of the Quanxing Sect.

It's only worth two thousand five?!

Most young people would have been eager to show off to the whole world by now...

On the contrary, Xiao Zhou was neither humble nor arrogant, nor did he take credit for anything.

The phrase "it's my duty" was used to gloss over the matter...

Lu Jin smiled so hard her eyes narrowed into slits.

The more I look at this kid, the more I like him...

He almost blurted out, "Stop hanging around Longhu Mountain, come back to the Lu family with me!"

But upon seeing his beloved great-grandson at the shop entrance, Old Lu swallowed his words again...

Linglong is only twenty years old; she's not ready for a relationship!

Zhang Zhiwei tapped the table lightly, bringing the conversation back to the main topic.

"Xiao Zhou, don't be so modest."

The old master's voice was slow and leisurely:

"I wanted to let you go back to your room and rest earlier, but Lao Lu insisted on seeing you..."

He pointed to the side and said, "Old buddy, you talk to him yourself."

Lu Jin looked up and laughed, his voice full of energy.

"Young man!" The old man's eyes blazed.

"Do you know that I've brought out the Heavenly Scroll as the prize for this competition?"

Zhou Yan nodded: "I know."

Lu Jin slapped his thigh: "That coward Zhang Chulan, afraid of getting burned, won't listen to either soft or hard tactics, and absolutely refuses to take this hot potato!"

Lu Jin leaned forward halfway and stared into Zhou Yan's eyes.

"Young Zhou, let me ask you, are you willing to learn one of the eight extraordinary skills that are renowned throughout the world?"

The hall fell silent instantly.

Only the red candles crackled.

Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment.

He quickly glanced at Zhang Lingyu, who was still in black and white in the distance.

The Heavenly Record?

You gave it to me?

"Old man, you're not thinking of taking me as your great-granddaughter's husband, are you?"

Lu Linglong's ahoge (cowlick) stood up abruptly in the distance!

Zhou Yan: "Let me tell you, a real man doesn't change his name or surname..."

"Go play with eggs!"

Lu Jin slammed his hand on the table!

You're starting to complain?

Do you think being a live-in son-in-law in the Lu family is so easy?

"Stop spouting nonsense with me, are you going to learn anything or not?!"

"Study!"

Zhou Yan looked completely at ease.

Eight magical skills, free of charge!

Only a fool wouldn't learn that!

If it were someone with duller sense, they might hesitate a bit.

Many people learn too much, resulting in a lack of specialization and ultimately achieving nothing.

But who am I, young master?

With decades of versatile skills at my disposal, I can learn anything and be fully equipped!

Zhou Yan immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute, bowed deeply, and blurted out—

"Thank you, sir!"

puff!

Behind.

Lu Linglong couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Lu Jin's smile froze instantly.

He squeezed the armrest of the chair beneath him so hard it made a cracking sound!

He still really misses my Linglong!

We absolutely cannot spend the night on the mountain tonight. Once we've finished our business, we must leave immediately!

The old man's facial muscles twitched violently twice, and he forcefully pulled the thread-bound ancient book from his pocket and stuffed it into Zhou Yan's arms.

"Take it!" Lu Jin said sternly, her voice earnest.

"Young man, I know you are exceptionally talented, and almost no one among your peers can rival you, but remember, the taller the tree, the more the wind will blow!"

These are turbulent times, and having this Heavenly Scroll by your side can certainly provide some assistance...

If you encounter any difficulties during your comprehension journey, feel free to ask me at any time...

Zhou Yan held the secret manual and nodded humbly.

"Thank you very much, Elder Lu! By the way, I still don't know where the Lu family is..."

Lu Jin was horrified and quickly said:

"Make a phone call! Just make a phone call!"

"This mere matter of cultivation... I can provide you with remote guidance... There's absolutely no need for you to make a special trip to the Lu family!"

Lu Jin's inner monologue: 'This kid has become the target of everyone's anger; it's impossible for him to come down the mountain anytime soon...'

I will take Linglong back to the Lu family now, and from now on we will be separated by mountains and rivers... we will have no further contact.

We can rest easy now!

Lu Linglong glared at her grandfather in annoyance and stomped her foot in frustration!

Zhou Yan understood immediately and smiled in agreement.

Whatever!

Old man, do you really think you can stop a young girl with legs 1.2 meters long and a heart full of desire?

The aroma of tea wafts through the air.

Zhang Zhiwei picked up the blue-and-white porcelain cup and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

"Xiao Zhou," the old master put down his cup, "Now that the conference is over, according to the rules, the 'overtime' arrangement that you and I agreed on earlier is considered to be up for grabs..."

He paused slightly, then continued:

"What are your plans for the next step? Perhaps—"

He hadn't finished speaking.

Zhou Yan seemed to have already guessed what he was going to say.

He clenched his fists, his posture upright.

"Old Celestial Master!"

"This young man has come to pay his respects precisely to bid farewell!"

One sentence fell, and the whole room fell silent.

Zhang Zhiwei's eyes suddenly narrowed into slits.

Farewell?

Lu Jin, standing to the side, raised an eyebrow, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.

That brat!

I just told you to behave yourself and lay low for a while, but you didn't listen to a word I said?

Zhang Zhiwei remained silent for a long while before slowly saying:

"Xiao Zhou, if you are afraid that staying in the scenic area will lead to retaliation from the remnants of the Quanxing Sect, or you are worried about bringing trouble to the Celestial Master's Mansion, then you don't need to worry about it."

The old Celestial Master stood up, his gaze sharp as lightning:

"Since I personally asked you to help maintain order... I naturally won't do the thing of discarding a useful tool after it's been used..."

As long as you remain on Mount Longhu, no one can harm a single hair on your head.

He spoke casually, yet absolutely no one dared to question him.

This is the source of confidence for the contemporary "top expert"!

however.

Zhou Yan simply smiled.

There was no fear or confusion in those dark eyes.

"Old Celestial Master, you've misunderstood."

"The outside world is so big—"

"I want to go out and see the world."
