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

8:59 minutes.

Zhou Yan stepped into the security booth.

Still half asleep, Lu Fei sprang up from the folding chair, "Nine...nine o'clock?!"

He glanced at the digital clock on the wall and gave a thumbs up:

"As expected of Brother Zhou! I knew it was time as soon as you arrived!"

Zhou Yan casually put down the thermos, shook his head, and said, "Just a little bit more."

The moment he put on his white gloves and pulled up his hat, the digital clock chimed precisely:

[Ding-dong~ 9:00 AM]

Lu Fei, with his sharp eyes, immediately noticed his wrinkled trouser legs: "Bro, why are your pants so dirty?"

After spending half a year together, he felt he knew Brother Zhou fairly well.

Although this person can be stubborn at times, they are extremely meticulous when it comes to their work!

"I got it dirty yesterday, but the Celestial Master's Mansion promised to send me a new one."

"Keep bragging!"

Lu Fei curled his lip.

What level is the Celestial Master's Mansion? It's been two and a half years, and I haven't even added a sweeping Taoist priest on WeChat.

They even sent you clothes?

I want to eat fart!

Zhou Yan ignored him, straightened his clothes, filled his thermos with hot water, sprinkled on some goji berries, and instantly got into work mode!

Fully charge the battery.

Drink urine until it turns white.

Look at the newspaper... sell tickets.

What a simple and unadorned way of spiritual practice!

Just as Lu Fei was about to go home to catch up on his sleep, the sound of a cart rolling suddenly came from the stone road outside his door.

Peeking out, I suddenly lost my balance and almost fell out of the window!

The newcomer, a Taoist priest in flowing robes and a burly figure, was Rong Shan, one of the disciples of the Old Celestial Master!

Goodness...

A high-ranking priest from the Celestial Master's Mansion, still alive!

Lu Fei bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle, his voice cracking, "Greetings, greetings to Master Rongshan!"

Having stayed here for a long time, it would be a lie to say he doesn't envy those real people who can fly over walls and scale rooftops.

Unfortunately, I guess I can forget about it in this lifetime...

Rong Shan nodded slightly, his gaze passing over Lu Fei and quietly locking onto Zhou Yan, who was sitting with his legs crossed inside the room.

On the vehicle's sideboard, ten brand-new security guard uniforms, still sealed in plastic, were neatly stacked.

Lu Fei's brain completely shut down.

High-ranking official of the Celestial Master's Mansion!

Push cart!

Security guard uniform!

Ten sets!!!

Brother Zhou, we agreed to be beasts of burden together, but you secretly took off?

"Young Brother Zhou Yan, is this it? My master instructed that this is for you. If you need more, just let me know!"

Rong Shan smiled broadly, but was secretly alarmed.

This young security guard possessed abundant vital energy and a long, sustained breath, yet not a single trace of it leaked out!

This kind of perfectly rounded and jade-like "meditation" has already surpassed that of 90% of the junior disciples on the back mountain.

Master, you've really kept this secret weapon well hidden...

Zhou Yan nodded expressionlessly: "Ten sets are too many. Please thank the Old Master for me."

Lu Fei cursed inwardly!

Brother, he's a disciple of the Celestial Master, you should at least stand up straight!

Rong Shan waved his hand dismissively, "Brother Zhou, you're too kind! If you need anything in the future, just let me know!"

As the two were talking, the faint sound of a wheelchair came from afar.

A short, freckled Taoist boy was struggling to push a wheelchair toward the mountain gate.

In the wheelchair was a sprightly old man with bright eyes.

"Little Yu, are you tired? Hahaha, my senior brother was too embarrassed to come, so I came in his place!"

Rong Shan's expression changed drastically, and he strode forward to greet him: "Uncle-Master Tian! Why have you come down the mountain in person?"

Tian Jinzhong chuckled, his hoarse voice filled with kindness:

"Oh, it's Rongshan! Staying in the back mountain all day is boring, so I came out for a stroll... Young man, you must be Zhou Yan?"

Upon seeing this person, Zhou Yan finally made a move.

He stepped out of the pavilion, his expression unusually solemn, and bowed slightly, saying with a smile, "Elder Tian!"

Whether in past lives or this life.

He deeply respected this elderly man with a broken leg who endured decades of sleepless nights to keep someone's secret.

"Good lad, a handsome young man!"

You knocked... cough cough, I heard about how you were dutiful and made that old devil from the Wang family pay for a hundred more tickets!

Haha, well done!

Tian Jinzhong smiled like an old neighbor.

However, with Zhou Yan's current eyesight, he could already see that the opponent's internal energy was weak and his meridians were riddled with holes.

This body stubbornly endured decades without sleeping.

It's a miracle that he's survived until today.

As they were talking, a Wuling Hongguang suddenly braked outside the pavilion.

Five installation workers filed out carrying cardboard boxes.

Zhou Yan straightened his hat and was about to step forward to ask questions.

Tian Jinzhong, in his wheelchair, chuckled and said, "It's getting hot, we can't let you, the heroes who protect the mountain, suffer."

"I've taken the liberty of adding something for you all..."

It's an air conditioner!

Lu Fei was so happy he almost fainted.

Old Tian, ​​don't say anything more, I'll kowtow to you!

This security booth is freezing in winter and scorching in summer. God knows how I survived those two and a half years!

He couldn't help but steal a glance at Zhou Yan beside him.

All of this is thanks to Brother Zhou!

Zhou Yan stared intently at the elderly man in the wheelchair and said softly, "Thank you, Elder Tian!"

Tian Jinzhong smiled and waved his sleeve.

He knew that the old man's wrists beneath his sleeves were empty.

The workers were quick and efficient, and the installation was completed in no time.

Old Master Tian suddenly coughed a few times, and behind him, the short Taoist boy looked at him with concern:

"Master, let me push you back!"

"Okay...cough cough...okay!" Tian Jinzhong covered his mouth. "Xiao Yuzi, thank you for your hard work!"

"It's not hard work!"

The young Taoist priest lowered his head and looked meek, struggling to push the wheelchair around.

A voice suddenly came from inside the guard booth—

"Xiao Yuzi."

The young Taoist paused, then turned around with an innocent smile.

"Brother Zhou, what's wrong?"

Looking at the smiling security guard in the pavilion.

For some reason, Xiaoyu felt a chill run down her spine.

"You just crossed the line."

Zhou Yan pointed to the railing: "Come over here and buy a ticket."

Xiao Yuzi, Rong Shan, and Tian Jinzhong were all completely dumbfounded!

He pointed at Old Tian in front of him, and said stiffly:

"Master Tian...Master Tian just went over there too, why doesn't he need to make up for it?"

You scoundrel... Just because Old Tian bought you an air conditioner, you think you can get away with this?

I just can't do it?

Why are you trying to portray yourself as an upright and incorruptible person?

Xiao Yuzi cursed secretly.

Zhou Yan, however, remained unfazed and pointed to the [Visitor Guide] sign to the side:

"Mr. Tian has a leg ailment, so his admission is free."

"I...I..."

Xiao Yuzi was speechless for a moment!

Beside him, Tian Jinzhong was laughing so hard that tears were almost streaming down his face!

"Ha...hahaha! Xiaoyu, hurry up and buy your ticket! Who told you to come down the mountain without your ID..."

Xiaoyu was so angry that her brow twitched, but there was nothing she could do.

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to the security booth.

[Ding~ Alipay account received - 260 yuan]

"Is it okay now?"

Zhou Yan handed over the ticket stub. "That's fine."

"Xiao Yuzi, take good care of Old Tian."

Xiao Yuzi nodded without saying a word.

The next second!

A voice devoid of warmth, like a thunderclap, suddenly resounded in Xiaoyuzi's mind!

"Crossing over this fence is a minor issue; you can just buy a ticket."

"If you cross other lines... don't blame me for being impolite."

Xiao Yuzi's pupils suddenly shrank to pinpoints!

He...he didn't even open his mouth...

This is golden light compressed to its extreme, beamed into a single point... for secret, telepathic transmission!

The fingers gripping the ticket stub instantly turned white...

He suddenly looked up and stared intently at Zhou Yan!

The other person just kept their head down, blowing on the goji berries in their thermos, without even lifting their eyelids.

Turning my head, I looked at Rongshan and Tianlao again.

The two of them didn't react at all; they definitely hadn't heard what was said earlier!

dong dong!

Xiaoyu's heart pounded so hard it felt like it was about to leap out of her throat.

He knows my real identity?!

How is that possible...?

I have been hiding in Longhu Mountain for many years, and even the Old Celestial Master did not notice!

Extreme fear, like a bone-deep infection, instantly spread throughout Gong Qing's entire body.

"Brother Zhou, you're too kind... Taking care of Elder Tian is my duty."

Zhou Yan nodded and turned back to the security booth.

Without lingering, Xiaoyu pushed her wheelchair and disappeared around the corner along the stone path.

"Little Yu...slow down...That's strange, I've never seen you go this fast coming down the mountain..."

"Yes...Master..."

[Ding~ Successfully intercepted the acting leader of Quanxing Sect. Reward: Five years of Water-Dirty Thunder cultivation!]

The immense power of Yin Thunder spread through Zhou Yan's dantian like black water. He leaned back in his chair with satisfaction, enjoying the cool air from the air conditioner.

Just then, the phone rang:

ding dong~

[Lu Linglong: Little Zhou! My grandpa dragged me home last night and yelled at me all the way (╥﹏╥)]

ding dong~

However, the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony is about to begin, and I still want to eat your barbecue!

ding dong~

My treat!

Zhou Yan's lips curled slightly as he pressed send:

It's a deal.

After replying to the message, he picked up his thermos and took a leisurely sip.

Yes, the Luo Tian Grand Ritual is about to be held.

Soon, Longhu Mountain will be bustling with activity...
