Senior Brother Yan, where is Senior Brother Zhou?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t call me senior brother anymore. From now on, I’ll call you senior sister. It’s too demoralizing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu looked bitter. When he himself was in the late Golden Core Realm, Lu Yaoyao had just been accepted as a disciple by Master, not even having stepped into the threshold of cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, she had surpassed him just like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Lu Yaoyao quickly waved her hands and said seriously, \"Senior Brother Yan, don’t joke. You will always be the senior brother I respect the most. By the way, where is Senior Brother Zhou?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu scratched his head. Why did this question sound so familiar?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Him? He was taken away by the Second Elder. I haven’t been in touch with him for more than three months,\" Yan Xiaohu had to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Lu Yaoyao heard this, she turned around without another word, \"I’ll go find the Second Elder!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Yan Xiaohu had to remind her, \"The Second Elder isn’t here either!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao’s steps came to an abrupt halt, her face full of disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She still wanted to tell her father this good news as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll find Master Lu. She must have a way!\" Lu Yaoyao turned and left again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the Vast Mansion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not seen for three months, Zhou Qing now had the appearance of a small vendor. His once fair skin had been tanned dark by the scorching sun, giving off a sense of simplicity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Weng, the big perch you wanted, freshly caught this morning. I brought it over right away. Look, it’s still lively.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other end of the hemp rope had a fat perch and three grass carps tied to it, which Zhou Qing carried behind his straw raincoat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he skillfully walked into a small grocery shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The store was not big but was filled with a dazzling array of items. On the old shelves, everything from household pots, bowls, and pans to all kinds of quirky little things was available.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the business didn’t look good, as many shelves had long been covered with dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a corner of the shop, there was an old bamboo chair, slightly worn, where an old man was leisurely napping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man was thin, wearing a coarse cloth robe that had faded to white, with a few patches sewn on the hem. His collar was slightly open, revealing a neck bulging with veins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sparse white hair fell carelessly, and his loose skin was dotted with age spots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Zhou Qing’s voice, the old man slowly opened his eyes, his mouth turning up in a smile, revealing the few teeth he had left, and got up cheerfully to greet him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhou, you’re here again. This fish is great. You’re amazing; you always come back with a full load!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Weng pushed himself up from the armrests of the bamboo chair, slowly stood up, and gently patted the dust off himself, then walked unsteadily towards Zhou Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing smiled, walking straight through the back hall to the kitchen, where he placed the big perch into a wooden basin and drew some water from the vat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he wiped the sweat from his forehead, came out with a proud face, and said, \"Of course, no one can beat me at fishing. I’ll leave it in the kitchen for you. It’s better to make soup with it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Weng looked gratefully at Zhou Qing and said, \"Thank you. I’ll get some money for you.\" Saying this, he started heading towards the counter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing hurriedly waved his hand to stop him, \"No need, no need. Please sit down and rest. One more fish is easy for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, he ran off because he still had to deliver the remaining three grass carps to the restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This kid never takes any money. Does he pity this old man?\" Elder Weng said, watching Zhou Qing leave, full of emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he sat down, a figure quietly walked into the shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The visitor was a beautiful woman with a graceful figure and a cold demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Weng opened his eyes slightly, looking at the beautiful woman, and asked, \"Why are you here today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuanzhi looked respectful, bowing to Elder Weng, with a hint of hesitation in her voice, \"Dean, I want to ask you for something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the restaurant, Zhou Qing weighed the fifty coins in his hand with a satisfied smile, then carefully put them into his money bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking up at the sky, he saw several streaks of light flying by, drawing the eyes of passing pedestrians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing then smiled slightly, turned, and walked into a nearby shop, carefully selecting some pastries, and then headed towards South Alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he lived there!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Weng, congratulations on opening today!\" As soon as Zhou Qing stepped into the grocery store, he saw two women carrying newly purchased goods, chatting and laughing as they left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weng Yunqi raised his head at the sound, and his face lit up with a kind smile, \"Thank you for your good fortune. I made some money today. Oh, pastries from Jufu Building.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes fell on the pastries in Zhou Qing’s hand, and he couldn’t help but exclaim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, knowing you have trouble chewing, I bought these especially for you. They’re very soft.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zhou Qing spoke, he skillfully opened the package, gently took out a piece of pastry, and handed it to Elder Weng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weng Yunqi accepted the pastry, mumbling a bit embarrassedly, \"You’ve spent money again. When this old man is gone, this shop will be yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop it. If you say that, I won’t come anymore. It’ll seem like I’m being nice to you for your inheritance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing pretended to be angry, but his eyes sparkled with laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Weng couldn’t help but laugh heartily, \"Just joking with you. You come because you care about this old man.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1050,"2026-06-09T06:34:08.923Z",1,"novelbin.me","895277f917fe32dc90daa285bee6248891ad81345765b934b6b1da41e7b453e7","the-sect-leader-has-taken-in-a-new-female-discip-chapter-583","the-sect-leader-has-taken-in-a-new-female-discip-chapter-581",1176,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-sect-leader-has-taken-in-a-new-female-discip-cover.jpg"]
