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

Barbecue stalls outside Liangxiang subway station.

The aroma of cooking, mingled with the scents of cumin and mutton, filled the entire street.

Having shed his idol image, Zhang Lingyu held a large bowl, his chopsticks flying across the table!

However, although he ate quickly, he still maintained a straight posture and never made a sound while chewing!

Wang Ye leaned back in the plastic chair, holding a leftover red willow skewer in his hand.

He said lazily:

That's basically the situation...

Old Qing, Master Lingyu, you have to help me!

Zhuge Qing, fanning himself with a folding fan, replied with a smile:

"Following you on the high-speed train... sneaking into your home to hide a listening device... even going so far as to apply for a maid position at your home!"

These bastards are really something...

By the way, have you found out who that blond guy is? Is he really a member of the Lü family?

Wang Ye shook his head. "The investigation is already underway, and we expect to have results soon."

But judging from his guilty look, there might be someone else behind him...

The only remaining clue is Lao Liu's auto repair shop...

Zhang Lingyu swallowed the noodles in her mouth and put down her chopsticks.

He wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth, his expression turning completely somber:

"The Eight Extraordinary Techniques truly are a path to chaos!"

He placed his hands on his knees and looked directly at Wang Ye: "Master Wang, what do you need me to do?"

Zhou Yan leaned back in his chair and tapped the sticky tabletop with one hand.

He bent down, pulled a wad of dark fabric from a black plastic bag at his feet, and tossed it aside.

Snapped!

A brand-new dark blue security uniform fell into Zhang Lingyu's hands.

"You need to start work immediately and get into work mode."

Zhou Yan's tone was calm and left no room for argument:

"As the security captain, I have completed my interview with you."

Starting tomorrow, you're under my protection!

Zhang Lingyu stared at the clothes, her whole body stiffening!

Is it really...really time to take this step?

"What, you don't want to?"

Zhou Yan chuckled, "Your tattered robe is rotten; I can smell the sourness from half a meter away!"

I'll go back to my place and wash up tonight...

Zhang Lingyu's face flushed slightly. She took a deep breath and her arms trembled.

He simply draped the brand-new security guard uniform over the oversized Taoist robe.

As soon as this action was completed, three crisp sounds were heard:

*Click*

*Click*

"Click—!"

The three flashes of light almost blinded Master Lingyu!

His lips twitched, and he pointed at the three men in disbelief:

"You...you guys..."

The three of them instantly put away their phones, their gazes shifting away—

"Lingyu, eat your food!"

"That's right, that's right! I haven't eaten for days, eat more!"

Zhou Yan looked at the photos on his phone and muttered to himself:

"This is just too damn tragic... If you sent it to the Celestial Master, even the Golden Light Mantra probably wouldn't be able to withstand it..."

Forget it, let's clean it up tomorrow...

Zhang Lingyu leaned closer:

"Senior Brother Zhou, what did you say?"

Zhou Yan waved his hand and put his phone back in his pocket: "It's nothing!"

He deliberately changed the subject, saying:

"Oh, right..."

"Why is it that after just a few days, you and Rongshan are calling each other 'brother' so naturally?"

The air suddenly became quiet.

Zhuge Qing stopped fanning himself.

Wang Ye dropped the peanuts he had just peeled onto the table.

Zhang Lingyu's brows twitched uncontrollably...

The three of them turned their heads in unison, staring at Zhou Yan with extremely disdainful eyes.

Zhou Yan looked completely bewildered and glanced around:

"Hey... what do you mean? Why are you looking at me?!"

Zhuge Qing sighed:

"Brother Zhou, we're so close, it's pointless to keep things to ourselves all the time."

Wang Ye nodded in agreement:

"Exactly. Being a disciple of the Celestial Master's Mansion isn't some hot potato."

He raised a finger and said seriously:

"On the contrary, precisely because of this, even though you now possess the Heavenly Scroll, few dare to cause you trouble..."

Ultimately, only the Celestial Master's Mansion would dare to do such a thing!

I don't want to be expelled from the sect, but I'm afraid I'll implicate Wudang..."

Zhou Yan's brows furrowed into a knot.

"Wait, what are you guys talking about?"

Zhang Lingyu covered her face with one hand and let out a long sigh.

"Senior brother, it can't be hidden anymore..."

Zhang Lingyu's voice was muffled, tinged with helplessness:

"My master has already made it public..."

Wang, also annoyed, took out his phone, opened his photo album, pulled up a screenshot, and pushed it directly in front of Zhou Yan.

on the screen.

These are the ordination certificates of eleven disciples of the Heavenly Daoist and Human Daoist lineages...

【Anping Taoist...】

[His secular name is Zhou Yan!]

Zhou Yan stared intently at the words on the screen.

In my mind, the image of the old Celestial Master's departing figure seemed to reappear before my eyes...

"My...uh...Master..."

Zhou Yan returned the phone to Wang Ye, and said with emotion:

"That's really well thought out."

no doubt.

This was the old celestial master giving him a legitimate protective charm because he refused to stay!

No wonder they are the most protective sect in the world!

Zhou Yan's lips curled up.

This silent act of kindness...

He made a note of it!

Thinking of this, Zhou Yan's expression suddenly changed!

Snapped!

He slammed his hand on the table and pointed at Zhang Lingyu across from him:

"evil creature!"

"Still eating there!"

Zhang Lingyu had just picked up a meat skewer when she was so frightened that she trembled all over!

At this moment... it felt as if Master was right in front of me!

He immediately placed his hands on his knees and sat up straight.

Zhou Yan pointed at Zhang Lingyu's nose and shouted sternly:

"You've been down the mountain for four days. I ask you, what have you been doing for those four days?"

Zhang Lingyu's forehead was covered in sweat, and he dared not meet her gaze.

"You're setting up a fortune-telling stall, right?"

"Your calculations were too accurate, so customers are chasing after you and beating you up, aren't they?"

"I was chased by the urban management officers for four blocks, and I couldn't even keep my bedding roll..."

You've been starving for three days, haven't you?!

Zhuge Qing covered half of his face with his fan, his shoulders shaking violently.

Wang Ye turned his head, pretending to look at the street scene, his mouth almost stretched to his ears!

Zhang Lingyu's face turned bright red, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into on the spot!

But... my senior brother is still giving me a lecture, so I can't move!

"Senior brother... Lingyu knows she was wrong!"

"Still admitting your mistake!"

Zhou Yan crossed his arms.

My master has treated me well...

Since that's the case, from today onwards, I'll be in charge of training this kid Zhang Lingyu!

We must completely correct his arrogant, aloof, and inflexible bad habits!

"Complete the onboarding process as early as possible tomorrow."

Zhang Lingyu nodded vigorously: "Yes, Senior Brother!"

"Regarding your salary, you'll have to negotiate with Mr. Wang yourself; I won't help you with that."

Zhou Yan stared at him, throwing out a bait that was absolutely impossible to refuse:

"If one day your salary surpasses mine..."

"I will personally plead with my master to let you return to the mountain!"

Go back to the mountain! ! !

It was like a thunderclap exploding in my ears!

Zhang Lingyu suddenly raised her head, her eyes shining brightly!

"Senior brother, is this really true?!" Zhang Lingyu's voice rose, his face full of anticipation.

Zhou Yan spoke with a serious and resounding tone:

"This is absolutely no joke!"

Zhang Lingyu took a deep breath and turned to look at Wang Ye beside her.

He blinked and asked earnestly:

"Master Wang, how much salary does your father pay Senior Brother Zhou?"

Wang scratched his head and held up five fingers.

"Five...five hundred thousand."

Zhang Lingyu lowered her head, her brows furrowed tightly.

"An annual salary of 500,000..." he muttered to himself, "that's nearly 42,000 a month."

He looked up, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.

"With Senior Brother Zhou's skills, this price is not expensive!"

Although I am not as good as my senior brother, I will definitely do my best!

Wang Ye lowered his hand and awkwardly scratched the back of his head.

"That... Master Lingyu."

"What's wrong?"

Wang Ye looked at him and swallowed.

"Not an annual salary."

"???"

Wang Ye took a deep breath and repeated it.

"I said, not annual salary..."

"It's a monthly salary of 500,000!"
