Breakfast at Baiyun Temple is served promptly at 7:00 AM.

When Ling Yue returned to the hotel where they were staying in the front yard, Lin Heng, Lu Boqing, and Ling Yi were already waiting for her.

"Xiao Lingzi, I've been knocking on your door for ages, where have you been? It's time for breakfast."

Ling Yue looked at the two adults and one child in front of her, all of whom had changed into the Taoist robes of Baiyun Temple, and she hardly recognized them.

"This is what you are doing?"

"Sister, we're going to our morning class. We called you to get up, but you ignored us. Brother Lin Heng said he won't wake you up anymore, so you can sleep in."

Ling Yue thought that she was already diligent enough by getting up early to block the door and ask for a master, but she didn't expect that the three of them would also get up so early to attend some kind of morning class.

Ling Yue looked at Ling Yi's little Taoist robe again; it was so cute that she couldn't help but go over, pick him up, and kiss him several times.

Ling Yi complained, "Sister, you've got my face all covered in drool. I need to wash my face again."

Tch, this kid must have been hanging out with Lu Boqing for too long; his mouth has become just as sharp-tongued as his.

The group then followed the crowd to get food. Looking around, Ling Yue was the only one not wearing a martial arts uniform, which made her stand out.

At the dinner table, Ling Yue couldn't help but share her good news for the day: "Skinny Monkey, didn't you just ask me what I did so early in the morning? I did something big! I went to see Master Jia and want to become his apprentice."

Perhaps he was too excited, and his voice was a bit loud, which attracted the attention of fellow Daoists at the surrounding tables.

Ling Yue then realized that she had been somewhat rude, so she lowered her head and lowered her voice considerably.

"Guess what?"

Lu Boqing rubbed his chopsticks together on his plate, hesitating to eat, and yawned, his voice sounding somewhat lazy.

"Do I even need to guess? She must have been rejected."

I knew this guy wouldn't say anything nice: "Just eat your food!"

After finishing his meal, Lin Heng had something to do. He received a phone call and hurriedly handed the incense burner he had dug up from the ground to Jia Zhengjing for safekeeping before going back to his work.

Lu Boqing also took Ling Yi away first, to send Ling Yi to kindergarten.

Ling Yue was still not giving up and planned to wage a protracted war at Baiyun Temple.

I mentioned in the family group chat that I would be studying under Master Jia for a while, and asked my mom to bring my personal belongings over when she had some free time.

I snapped a photo of Jia Zhengjing. Although the old man tried to avoid me when I took the picture, anyone who knew him would recognize him immediately.

Post it in the group to increase the credibility of your words.

"Hey, how could you take pictures of me without my permission? You're violating my portrait rights!"

Jia Zhengjing's biggest annoyance in life is taking photos.

"Don't worry, there are only three people in this group: my parents and me. And look, they haven't even shown their faces, so where does this portrait right come from?"

Ling Yue then opened the photos posted in the group chat and showed them to Jia Zhengjing.

Jia Zhengjing didn't have time to chat idly with her; she needed to quickly come up with a way to make her back down.

From morning till night, all day long, I followed him almost every step of the way, bringing him tea and water, and even guarding him outside when he went to the bathroom. It was incredibly annoying!

He finally managed to get out of quarantine and rest for a few days, but this unlucky kid ruined it all.

Just as Jia Zhengjing was looking worried, a phone call came from the Jing family's old residence.

Grandpa Jing had figured out that he had already come out of seclusion, so he invited him to his home for a chat.

Jia Zhengjing suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Wasn't this little Lingzi going to ask him to be his apprentice? He had thought of a way to make him back down.

"I'm going to have tea with Jingyangsheng later, it's not appropriate for you to come along, go somewhere cool and stay somewhere else."

As soon as Jia Zhengjing finished speaking and put down the book in her hand, Ling Yue reflexively put down the "Disaster Relief and Life Protection Scripture" that she had only read two pages of.

"Don't worry, just pretend I'm not there. I promise I won't make a sound. Besides, I studied tea ceremony with my mom for a while, so I can definitely brew a good pot of tea for you two."

This tone sounds like a soldier pledging his loyalty to his general before going into battle.

Jia Zhengjing was immediately at her wits' end. Fine, you chose to jump into this pit yourself, there's no stopping you.

Ling Yue volunteered to be the driver, and Chu Xin was suddenly given a break, which made her a little unaccustomed to it.

If Master Jia is so good at making money, why does he still drive an old manual Volkswagen?

Aside from driving a manual car when she was taking her driving test, Ling Yue had been driving a manual car on the road for the first time in two years since she got her driver's license.

As soon as she got into the driver's seat, Ling Yue mentally reviewed what she had learned at driving school, and thoroughly familiarized herself with the brake, clutch, and accelerator.

Jia Zhengjing, who was invited to the passenger seat, wanted to get out of the car immediately after seeing her series of actions.

"Master, aren't you tired of holding onto the roof handle the whole time? Just fasten your seatbelt. I got my driver's license through real exams, so don't worry."

After Ling Yue finished speaking, she started the car, thinking to herself, "See? Her driving school training went smoothly, didn't it? She started the car without any problems."

But the car stalled the next second...

"Hey, Xiao Lingzi, if it's really too much, you can just stay in the temple and let Chu Xin drive."

Jia Zhengjing had only one thought in her mind: could she get him off the bus?

Ling Yue simply refused to believe it. She was a seasoned driver with two years of experience; how could there be a car she couldn't drive?

So, he took out his phone on the spot, found the problem on Baidu, tried several times, and finally was able to drive the car easily.

The car was never turned off until we drove it to the Jing family's old house.

Ling Yue felt a great sense of accomplishment, while Jia Zhengjing gripped the roof railing tightly the whole way, her palms sweating profusely.

Thank goodness, I finally got off the bus safely.

This was Ling Yue's first time visiting the Jing family's old residence, the mansion of Shanghai's richest man. It could no longer be called a residence; it was more like an estate. From the entrance gate, it took several more minutes by car to reach the old man's residence.

Goodness, this place is big enough to open a zoo.

The butler had been waiting to greet them for a long time.

"Master Jia, it's been a long time. Please come in."

The old butler smiled and gestured for Ling Yue to go inside. Ling Yue followed behind Jia Zhengjing and began to look around at the interior design of this wealthy family.

Soon they arrived at a teahouse, where Jingyang Sheng had been waiting for a long time.

Unexpectedly, Ling Yue was following behind Jia Zhengjing.

"Xiao Lingzi? Jia Zhengjing didn't say you came along earlier. Come on, come on, it's been so long."

Ling Yue was surprised to be so popular. Although Master Jia was the one who was invited, she became the honored guest.
