Under One Person: My comprehension is unmatched.

In a private room on the second floor of Ruyi Building.

Wugensheng, with several bumps on his head, chugs down his drink, ignoring everyone else present.

Wei Shufen, who was standing to the side, seemed to be sulking and didn't say anything.

Of the three sisters from Qinghe, only Wei Shufen came. The other two sisters, Zhang Shuying and Wei Shufen, did not come. They said they would send the child back to Qinghe Village and tell their mother-in-law about the matter as soon as possible.

I guess she was heartbroken by those two jerks and doesn't want to come back.

Zhang Yan looked at Zhang Zhiwei, who was drinking tea across from him, and spoke.

"Why are you here too? Shouldn't you be with Director Zhu and the others at this time?"

Zhang Zhiwei shook his head vigorously, like a rattle-drum, and began to speak.

“I sent my junior brother Tian Jinzhong there. He’s usually in the best mood and is very suitable for going there. I can’t do it; I feel uncomfortable when I’m with them.”

Uh-huh.

In the future, you'll be making a peace sign when facing reporters, but now you can't even handle this much hardship. Compared to then, you still have a lot of practice to do.

"Yeah, it is a bit annoying. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to sit still either."

Zhang Yan inwardly scoffed, but outwardly agreed with Zhang Zhiwei's opinion.

Zhang Zhiwei, however, was unmoved and said to Zhang Yan.

"Why do I get the feeling that you're gloating a little?"

"Hehe, where?"

"Cough cough."

Dong Chang coughed twice, interrupting their conversation, and said to Zhang Yan.

"Brother Zhang Yan, so where are you planning to go next?"

Upon hearing Dong Chang's question, everyone turned their attention to Zhang Yan, hoping to get an answer.

Zhang Yan answered without hesitation: "Northern Frontier".

Wei Shufen felt a little disappointed after hearing this. She didn't know when they would meet again after this parting.

The others were filled with admiration, realizing that only people like Zhang Yan, who actively tempered themselves in harsh environments, could go so far.

Xu Xin picked up the conversation and said to Zhang Yan.

"Zhang Yan, before you leave, would you be interested in visiting the Tang Clan?"

Zhang Yan nodded in agreement, indicating that he had the same idea. Zhang Zhiwei then spoke up as well.

"Last time I went in a hurry and didn't get to pay my respects to the sect leader. This time I must show him the proper courtesy."

Speaking of the Tang Clan, Zhang Yan thought of Gao Yingcai and Liang Ting's matter and asked a question.

"Xu Xin, have you two heard about Liang Ting's situation?"

Xu Xin and Dong Chang nodded at the same time, and Xu Xin said.

“I will definitely accept the commission to kill Liang Ting, that heinous man. If I encounter him, I will definitely find a way to kill him.”

Zhang Yan shook his head slightly upon hearing this. Liang Ting would risk his life for pleasure. With Xu Xin's current abilities, he would surely die if he encountered Liang Ting.

He looked at Xu Xin and Dong Chang and spoke.

"If you ever encounter Liang Ting in the future, your first thought shouldn't be how to kill him, but how to escape. Even now, I find it very troublesome to run into him."

Xu Xin and Dong Chang were stunned. Even Zhang Yan admitted that he was no match for Liang Ting. Liang Ting's strength was too terrifying.

Zhang Yan looked at the two of them and then said, "Also, does Senior Gao Yingcai of the Tang Clan have a daughter named Xiaomei?"

The two men's expressions changed. Zhang Yan had never been to the Tang Clan before, so how did he know so much about it?

Seeing the two people's puzzled and surprised expressions, Zhang Yan did not respond, but continued to speak.

"Then I'd like to ask you two a favor: before you hear of Liang Ting's death, keep an eye on that Xiao Mei."

"After you arrive at the Tang Clan, please introduce me to Senior Gao Yingcai."

Xu Xin and Dong Chang were even more puzzled after hearing this. Could it be that Liang Ting and Uncle Gao had some kind of connection?

That shouldn't be the case. How could they be completely unaware?

Wugensheng, who was standing to the side, took a big gulp of wine and then chimed in.

"You don't need to guess or ask. This guy gets all mysterious whenever Liang Ting is mentioned. I suspect he's setting a trap for Liang Ting."

Xu Xin and Dong Chang exchanged a glance and nodded to Zhang Yan, agreeing to his request, since it concerned their own family matters.

Wugensheng took another swig of wine and said to Wei Shufen and Zhang Yan.

“Zhang Yan, before you go to the Tang Clan, let’s go to Qinghe Village. After all, you’ve been luring their disciple away for so long, it wouldn’t be right not to visit the old lady.”

If they just leave like this, Wei Shufen will really have a hard time explaining it to her mother-in-law.

Zhang Yan said to Wei Shufen, "Well, I have learned the Qinghe Gu Technique after all, so I have to go this time no matter what."

Wei Shufen spat, saying she didn't need it and that her mother-in-law wasn't unreasonable. But she was still quite happy and touched inside.

After finishing the main business, everyone started drinking and chatting, and the atmosphere became lively. As the host, Zhang Yan was forced to drink a lot of alcohol and was not allowed to use his Qi to sober up.

When the drinking was almost over, Director Zhu arrived. When he saw Zhang Yan's true face, he insisted on punishing himself with three drinks.

Taking advantage of the lively atmosphere, Wei Shufen told everyone about Wu Gensheng and Zhang Yan's doubles as a joke.

Zhang Zhiwei, Dong Chang, and the other two were amused and burst into laughter. Taking advantage of his drunkenness, Zhang Yan also revealed his idea of ​​pushing Wugensheng to the conference.

As a result, Wugensheng forced him to drink three bowls of wine before he would stop.

The guests enjoyed the meal immensely.

......

A few days later, Zhang Yan and Wugensheng stood at the exit of Qinghe Village and simultaneously let out a breath.

It's finally out!

The child is doing well in the village. The old woman seems very kind, especially since Wugensheng did not claim to be a member of the Quanxing sect.

She was very polite to both of them.

She didn't care much about Zhang Yan learning the Gu technique of the Qinghe lineage, and said with a smile that those weren't core things. Besides, Zhang Yan learned the Gu technique to save people, not to do evil and kill.

However, Wugensheng and Zhang Yan couldn't withstand the gazes of the Zhang sisters. They both felt like they had ventured into a tiger's den, but thankfully they had come out now.

Wugensheng patted his forehead and spoke.

"I have a feeling that this trip to Qinghe Village is even more dangerous than going to the Medicine Immortal Sect's cultivation cave."

Zhang Yan expressed his deep agreement and spoke up.

"Where are you going next?"

"I'll just keep wandering around and look for people from the Quanxing Sect. As for the Tang Sect, I won't go there."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yan knew that the two were about to part ways, so he clasped his hands in a fist salute and said to Wu Gensheng...

"Well then, brother, we'll meet again sometime!"

Wugensheng stared at Zhang Yan for a while before speaking.

“Zhang Yan, how about we get to know each other again? My real name is Feng Yao, and my surname is the same as the old Taoist priest who picked me up.”

"The old Taoist priest said that when I was born, my eyes shone like stars, so I was given the character 'Yao' (耀) alone."

At this point, Wugensheng chuckled and continued.

"Brother Zhang Yan, we get along quite well, how about we become sworn brothers?"

Zhang Yan answered without hesitation.

"Sure, how about I be the older brother?"

Wugensheng was taken aback for a moment, then the two smiled at each other and embarked on their respective journeys.

This was Zhang Yan and Wugensheng's first encounter.
