Take naming, for example. Qian Dafu is quite a conservative name, and his business isn’t doing well. Now look at Zhang Wanbao’s dad, Zhang Yifu—straight to the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing that their young master has arrived, the cooking speed is top-notch, and the ingredients are unparalleled. Even the shopkeeper comes personally with a flattering smile to pour wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, what’s your relationship with Xiao Cancan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing ate a couple of bites and couldn’t help but ask curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Wanbao dismissed the others and sighed deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s an arranged marriage. Cancan’s dad, the current Mansion Master of Lingyun Mansion, Uncle Xiao, just managed to settle here thanks to my dad’s financial help to stabilize his position...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zhang Wanbao recounted, the two were once again shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That girl disguised as a boy is actually the Mansion Master’s only daughter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good thing Zhou Qing treated her to a meal; it could be considered a good deed formed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Zhang Wanbao and Xiao Cancan have been playing together since childhood, but it’s really hard to make a move on a familiar person. Cancan doesn’t want to marry Fatty Zhang at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She just wants to see the outside world, meet new people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, Fatty Zhang is head over heels for Cancan, telling everyone she’s his fiancée.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, this is something approved by their families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, to avoid Zhang Wanbao, Cancan disguised herself as a boy and started to flee—it’s that simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t lack money. If I really wanted a woman, who knows how many would want to become my Dao partner? But I just like her. Even if she hates me, I like her!\" Zhang Wanbao said earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu looked at each other, and the term ’simp’ came to their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, that isn’t the right way to describe someone so persistent in love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Zhang Wanbao, this love is quite pure, without any mixed feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His spiritual world is the most fulfilled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cheers to the warrior charging for love!\" They raised their glasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Wanbao’s eyes lit up with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for your blessings, cheers!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three clinked glasses and drank, and suddenly, their bond strengthened considerably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see you two are slightly older than me, so I’ll call you Brother Zhou and Brother Yan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Wanbao didn’t have any arrogance or pride typical of wealthy youth; he looked quite humble and polite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, they were delighted to accept such a little brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu directly looked at Zhou Qing, saying, \"Fourth brother, you’re good with women. Why not help Wanbao, our brother?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Wanbao immediately looked at Zhou Qing, full of hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing was stunned and quickly waved his hand: \"Don’t joke, Third Brother, I’m not capable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Zhou, you’re so handsome. Girls must like you a lot. Please help me,\" Zhang Wanbao quickly stood up and toasted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing was a bit embarrassed. After clinking glasses, he looked at his figure: \"Have you ever thought about losing some weight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Wanbao immediately shook his head: \"Can’t lose weight. It’s genetic. I’m already considered slim. You haven’t seen my dad; he’s like a meatball. Besides, I’ve tried many times, but I can’t lose weight. Even drinking cold water puts on two pounds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Wanbao sighed deeply. It’s clear that he’s made a lot of efforts to pursue Xiao Cancan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing nodded and quickly comforted him: \"Being a bit chubby is good. Looks soft—you know, actually, many women like chubby guys.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Wanbao became happy again and subconsciously touched the fat on his belly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it doesn’t work, you could use the last resort, playing hard to get!\" Zhou Qing suggested after thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Wanbao promptly asked, \"How does playing hard to get work exactly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After organizing his thoughts, Zhou Qing asked, \"Does she dislike you? Just in daily interactions, does she have that look of genuine disgust and disdain towards you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Wanbao scratched his head, puzzled: \"What kind of look counts as disgust and disdain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, actually girls like to be jealous. The essence of playing hard to get is to do this, then that, and finally this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Zhou Qing’s plan, Yan Xiaohu was secretly impressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their little junior brother has finally grown up and gotten a hold of human emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Wanbao nodded repeatedly, then hesitantly asked: \"Will this really work? If it fails, we’ll have no chance at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, continuing as you are now, how do you think it’ll go?\" Zhou Qing retorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Wanbao fell silent, pondered shortly, then suddenly slapped the table: \"Let’s do it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu suddenly thought of something and quickly asked: \"By the way, since you’re so familiar with Xiao Cancan, do you know where her good friend Su Wanli lives?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Wanbao nodded. Of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cancan’s likes and dislikes—he’s more clear about them than anyone and firmly remembers them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll take you there. Maybe Cancan is there too!\" Zhang Wanbao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu immediately smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shitao, you slapped me and conned me out of money. This isn’t over!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating, the group headed straight to the western part of Lingyun Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the afternoon, they finally arrived outside a row of courtyard houses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, a late-stage Golden Core servant flew inside quietly, and after a while, leapt out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reporting to the young master, Miss Cancan and Su Wanli are both inside, along with some hidden guards!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing that Xiao Cancan was indeed inside, Zhang Wanbao immediately became excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me handle this!\" Yan Xiaohu directly stepped forward to knock on the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several bangs, a wisp of Divine Sense probed out and quickly retreated.\u003C\u002Fp>",953,"2026-06-09T06:33:58.255Z",1,"novelbin.me","d8baf21f9bbcbda94edfad258f26491c1f7145752c7b74785530e3ba6736baa6","the-sect-leader-has-taken-in-a-new-female-discip-chapter-212","the-sect-leader-has-taken-in-a-new-female-discip-chapter-165",1176,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-sect-leader-has-taken-in-a-new-female-discip-cover.jpg"]
