Just as Zhang Jingwei was about to give up, filled with disappointment, Liang Dahai suddenly spoke again: "However, I know my own worth as clearly as a mirror. I know full well that I am not the material to become a general. As my young master said, I am just an ordinary craftsman!"

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Changshui quickly responded, "In his eyes, you may be just an insignificant craftsman, and he might not even inform you of something as important as a wedding. But to me, you are a treasure! If you are willing to follow me, I can grant you untold wealth, supreme power, and anything else you desire."

Liang Dahai remained unmoved and asked expressionlessly, "What practical significance does all this have?"

Huangfu Changshui obviously didn't expect him to respond like this. He was stunned for a moment and then asked, "What?"

Liang Dahai took a deep breath, looked at Huangfu Changshui with a firm gaze and said, "Whether the young master sees me as a handy tool or thinks that I am of low status and only worthy of being a servant, the look in his eyes when he looks at me cannot be disguised no matter what. That kind of dependence and need for me cannot be hidden at all! So, even if he has never given me too much glory and wealth, I still know that he needs me!"

Huangfu Changshui suddenly became anxious and quickly defended himself, "I also need you sincerely. Can't you sense my sincerity?"

Liang Dahai slowly shook his head, sighed, and then continued, "My Lord, you still haven't truly understood what I mean. In your eyes, from beginning to end, there is only that bow. What you desire is not me, but the magic weapon that can make you invincible on the battlefield!"

After hearing Liang Dahai's heartfelt words, Huangfu Changshui was speechless for a moment, and the whole scene fell into a suffocating silence, as if time had frozen at this moment.

Liang Dahai looked ahead with a determined gaze, and spoke passionately, "So... I want to follow you forever! I long to personally create the world you described! Steel isn't just for making life-threatening weapons; it can be turned into roads, allowing people to travel thousands of miles in a single day. It can also be transformed into ships, traversing the vast ocean!"

Hearing these words, Zhang Jingwei couldn't help but feel moved. He opened his lips slightly as if he wanted to respond, but when the words came to his lips, he was speechless for a moment: "The sea..."

However, Liang Dahai didn't give him a chance to speak and interrupted, "Besides that, I've always had an idea in my mind, and that's to personally verify something. The young master once mentioned that this vast world we live in is actually like a huge sphere. Although it sounds so absurd, I still want to go and find out for myself."

Huangfu Changshui, who was standing nearby, listened to their conversation with great interest and couldn't help but sigh, "Haha, this is so funny! Oh, is it really because I'm old? Why are you youngsters chasing such unattainable dreams?"

Zhang Jingwei smiled slightly and answered confidently, "If I have him, these seemingly unattainable things will no longer be so far away."

Huangfu Changshui nodded in agreement, then urged, "Okay, okay, now that everyone has said so much, let's make the final decision quickly."

Liang Dahai turned around and shouted at Zhang Jingwei, "Young Master! I want to eat hot pot!" This was the decision he made.

Zhang Jingwei was stunned at first, then he burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, great! I'll have enough to eat today!"

Huangfu Changshui said with a smile, "Congratulations, my dear son-in-law! You've finally found such a loyal and skilled craftsman!" He turned around, seemingly about to leave. However, after taking just two steps, he suddenly stopped, turned back, and solemnly warned Zhang Jingwei, "Don't ever mention things like 'we live on the same planet' so easily again."

Zhang Jingwei heard this, a trace of doubt and resentment appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but argue: "But... this is obviously the fact!"

Huangfu Changshui's expression darkened, and he lowered his voice to warn, "The last person who made such remarks is still wanted by the imperial court."

Hearing this, Zhang Jingwei couldn't help but take a breath. After thinking about it in his heart, he nodded to show that he understood.

Gao Fei said with an embarrassed look on his face: "My dear...my dear brother, let's...let's not..."

Zhang Jingwei quickly reached out to stop Gao Fei and said warmly, "Wait a minute, Brother Gao! You've finally come back to Yunzhou. No matter what, I have to treat you well!"

Gao Fei quickly waved his hands and declined: "No... no need..."

Seeing this, Zhang Jingwei raised his hand to interrupt him again, saying with a smile, "Brother Gao, I've recently painstakingly developed a new kind of barbecue. The flavor, wow, it's so fragrant it can be smelled from miles away! I'll let everyone try it tonight. You can still leave tomorrow in time!"

Gao Fei listened to Zhang Jingwei's vivid description and couldn't help but feel a little shaken. He kept saying, "This... this isn't... quite..."

At this time, Yi Feiyu, who was standing aside, couldn't bear it anymore. He swallowed his saliva and shouted loudly: "Master Gao, why don't you stay here for one more night, so that the brothers can relax tonight!" After that, he exaggeratedly wiped the saliva that was about to flow to the ground from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.

Gao Fei looked at the expectant eyes of the crowd and finally gave up insisting. He nodded and said, "Okay...Okay..."

Before Gao Fei could agree, Zhang Jingwei immediately smiled happily, clapped his hands, and said, "Haha, it's happily decided! Everyone, come to my house tonight, see you there!"

Liang Dahai asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Barbecue? Didn't we agree on hotpot before? Why did you suddenly change to barbecue?"

Qian Ming quickly explained with a smile: "Hehe, there is no conflict! The young master gave this barbecue another name, called 'barbecue'! It smells so good! We marinated the meat for two whole days in advance. When I think of the sizzling and oily appearance when grilling, oh my, my mouth is watering!" As he spoke, he smacked his lips, looking very greedy.

Liang Dahai couldn't help but curl his lips and said with a hint of envy: "Wow, you guys ate pretty well during the time I was away!"

At this time, Mu Tou came over and interjected, "Haha, the young master said that everyone can eat to their heart's content today! So don't worry, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

All the unpleasantness just now disappeared, and the atmosphere is now very harmonious.
