Chapter 546: Zhang Jie who wants to wait for the rabbit

~8 min read 1,473 words

"Mm, I represent the company and will provide you with a certain degree of support.

As for how much support, I will ask Zhao Zong and the others for instructions later."

Xu San thought for a while and spoke up.

Although

But as an insider with a deep understanding of the company's systems and ways of doing things,

he believed the company would be willing to see a Heavenly Master who is close to the company emerge.

Moreover, compared to other extraordinary individuals with diverse backgrounds and abilities, Zhang Chulan, who has mastered the Jin Guang Spell,

and who clearly has a deep connection with the Heavenly Master Mansion, is more easily accepted by the various Daoist masters of the Heavenly Master Mansion.

"Brother Jie, what about you?"

Zhang Chulan looked at Zhang Jie again.

Compared to the eccentric and unreliable Feng Baobao, and the company, whose attitude is ambiguous

and whose level of support is unknown, he was still more willing to trust Zhang Jie.

With Zhang Jie's unfathomable strength, not to mention sweeping through the entire world of the extraordinary,

Zhang Chulan did not think anyone was his opponent, at least among the younger generation of extraordinary individuals.

Even those few who were hyped up to be god-like during his chats with the company's extraordinary staff,

such as Zhuge Qing, the descendant of the Zhuge family who is only one step away from beating the Old Heavenly Master and kicking the two supreme experts,

Zhang Lingyu, the closed-door disciple of the Old Heavenly Master, and the rising stars of the four great families.

"The Luo Tian Luotian Da Jiao, a grand event in the world of the extraordinary; I certainly won't be absent."

Zhang Jie stretched, a joyful smile like that of an old farmer at harvest time blooming on his face.

At the Luo Tian Luotian Da Jiao, many miracles will appear one by one; by then, it will be time for him to reap the fruits.

This is also the reason why he has been staying peacefully at the company since returning from the shared space

—since he knows that most of the Eight Extraordinary Skills will gather together at a certain time,

why run around and waste time?

If the Luo Tian Luotian Da Jiao were to be canceled because of some of his actions,

or if those heirs of the Eight Extraordinary Skills did not gather during the Luo Tian Luotian Da Jiao,

that would cost him even more energy.

Sometimes, after knowing that something beneficial to oneself is about to happen, waiting for the rabbit to hit the tree is not a bad choice.

"Then Brother Jie, what about the position of the Heavenly Master's successor?"

Zhang Chulan asked cautiously, testing the waters.

Compared to him, whose relationship with the Heavenly Master Mansion is still unclear, Zhang Jie, as a legitimate lay disciple of the Heavenly Master Mansion,

who has also refined the Heavenly Master Mansion's signature Jin Guang Spell to perfection,

and possesses unfathomable strength, has a better chance of becoming the Heavenly Master's successor.

It is not that he covets this position of Heavenly Master's successor, but if he were to ask the Old Heavenly Master directly,

it would have a higher success rate if he became the winner of the Luo Tian Luotian Da Jiao.

"If you can provide something that interests me,

I don't mind escorting you during the Luo Tian Luotian Da Jiao."

Zhang Jie looked Zhang Chulan up and down carefully before speaking meaningfully.

As a transmigrator who is very wary of the Heavenly Master's Degree, which symbolizes the identity of the Heavenly Master,

he does not mind selling this empty title in exchange for some substantial benefits.

Now it depends on whether this kid Zhang Chulan can understand.

"Something that interests you, Brother Jie?"

Zhang Chulan was confused.

He thought and thought, but could not think of anything on him that could interest Zhang Jie.

"Sigh."

Watching Zhang Jie's appearance of having no interest in the position of Heavenly Master,

and even being willing to use it for a trade, Xu San sighed secretly.

Compared to Zhang Chulan, who had only joined the company a few days ago, he was still more willing to see Zhang Jie ascend to the position of Heavenly Master.

After all, because of his parents, Zhang Jie had almost grown up in the company,

and was the most direct of the company's direct line; his feelings for the company were far beyond what Zhang Chulan could compare to.

And even if Zhang Jie became the Heavenly Master, there would still be his parents to serve as a bridge for communication between the two sides;

compared to Zhang Chulan, who is a loner, this is undoubtedly a wiser choice.

It is a pity that the person involved has no such intention, and even he can only sigh helplessly.

'How about I go find Uncle Zhang to chat tonight?'

Xu San pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and began to seriously consider the possibility of this matter.

If he could persuade Zhang Jie's father to step in, he might be able to change his mind.

But the next second, he extinguished this thought.

It was not that he could not find an excuse, but although the Heavenly Master Mansion belongs to the Zhengyi sect of Daoism,

it does not forbid marriage like the Quanzhen sect; disciples and followers can get married and have children,

which is how the fire-dwelling Daoists came to be. But as the leader of the Heavenly Master Mansion,

examples of past Heavenly Masters choosing to start a family in order to focus on cultivation and fulfill their duties are rare;

the previous Heavenly Master, Zhang Jingqing, and the current Heavenly Master, the Old Heavenly Master Zhang Zhiwei, both remained unmarried for life.

And it is said that the reason why few Heavenly Masters of the Heavenly Master Mansion get married

is also related to the secret cultivation techniques of the Heavenly Master Mansion; this secret method can only be practiced by a virgin male who has not broken his body.

And Zhang Jie is the only seedling of the old Zhang family, passed down for generations.

If he were to go and persuade him directly like this, Uncle Zhang would definitely beat his dog head in, right?

"Well, you guys go wander around; I need to go ask for instructions from Zhao Zong and the others."

Feeling his head start to ache again, Xu San rubbed his brow and announced the end of the meeting.

"Brother Jie, what are we going to do next?"

After Xu San left, Zhang Chulan subconsciously looked at Zhang Jie and asked.

Although Zhang Jie did not speak much, his powerful strength had slowly made him the backbone of the group.

"Hmm."

Zhang Jie stroked his chin and pondered for a moment: "Since you intend to participate in the Luo Tian Luotian Da Jiao,

then naturally you need powerful strength. How about this, you find a place to cultivate in seclusion for a period of time."

"Okay."

Zhang Chulan nodded hurriedly.

Although he had made up his mind to achieve a good ranking at the Luo Tian Luotian Da Jiao,

the other extraordinary individuals were not easy to deal with either: the closed-door disciple of the Old Heavenly Master of Mount Long Hu,

the descendant of the Zhuge family... just hearing about them sounds scary, okay?

It was only because the truth was with the Old Heavenly Master that he didn't want to fight those monsters at all.

"The company happens to have a vacant place in the suburbs that you can use."

Xu Si, who was puffing on a cigarette, interjected and took out his phone to send a location to Zhang Jie's WeChat.

"Many thanks, Fourth Brother."

With the company providing a location, Zhang Jie naturally didn't mind getting a free ride.

"I'll go too."

Feng Baobao raised her hand actively to speak.

Zhang Jie was not surprised by this; when it involved Zhang Chulan, who might be related to her background,

the cold-natured Sister Bao'er also appeared very active.

"Okay."

Xu Si smiled dotingly and agreed.

Although in terms of age, Feng Baobao, who had known his father since Xu Si was young,

was more than old enough to be his mother, because of this ageless appearance

and the temperament that remained naive after decades, in his eyes,

she was just a little sister who needed care and pampering.

Zhang Chulan's gaze shifted to Xu Si.

This inexplicable look and tone, why does it feel so familiar?

"Tsk..."

Zhang Jie turned his head away.

The Xu family, from the old father Xu Xiang down to the two sons Xu San and Xu Si, are all old sycophants of Sister Bao'er.
