"Hmm, not bad, not bad."
"Old Hui, thatâs more like it, you see, those things you served before, what swallowâs nest and sea cucumber, which one of them is fitting for my identity?"
"These are more like it. Snow lotus from Tian Shan, thousand-year-old ice swallow, and ghostly fierce fire, these are what someone like me should eat!"
"Alright, you may go now!"
Meanwhile, having listened to the hostâs introduction, the man nodded in satisfaction and promptly dismissed him and his entourage.
"This?" Chen Changâan found himself wanting to ask if the boyâs family had any adults managing him.
Not just Chen Changâan, even Shen Xuzi was a bit perplexed at this point. He had never seen such behavior in all his life.
"Er, lad, youâre spending pretty lavishly, do your folks know about this?" In the end, Shen Xuzi couldnât help but ask.
"No, no, no, my good sirs, you donât understand."
In response to Shen Xuziâs inquiry, the boy calmly retorted, a hint of disappointment in his eyes as he shook his head and said:
"Do you think I am eating just any food? No, I am not."
"You are ignorant, I am not this rude, itâs just that these inns are taking advantage of us. Whenever I come out to eat, they always think I canât afford to pay. Can I tolerate this? Of course, I canât!"
I, Zhang Qiuye, can be called anything by anyone, but I cannot be called vulgar! This is an absolute insult to my character!"
"Is what Zhang Qiuye lacks money? No, what I lack is the worldâs understanding of me!"
Zhang Qiuye declared indignantly, his manner reminding Chen Changan of a bizarre scenario he saw online in his previous life where a rich young lady went to a clinic.
She was merely suffering from a common heatstroke, and the prescribed medicine was a bowl of plum soup. However, she insisted on having medicine made from the Snow Lotus of Tianshan and Fengshui layout in her house with Earth Dragon veins, concluding with a bowl of plum soup.
Itâs still the same detoxifying plum soup, but the effect can vary greatly whether it comes before or after the other treatments.
Damn, these people really have money to burn!
Chen Changâan was genuinely confused. He had previously thought that such nonsense only existed in online stories and would never occur in reality.
Unexpectedly, he encountered one.
"Come on, sirs, donât be shy, since we have met by chance today, let me treat you all to a meal. Enjoy life to the fullest and never let a cup of wine go empty under the moonlight!" At this moment, Zhang Qiuye raised his glass to Chen Changâan and Shen Xuzi, urging them to drink. He was quite sociable.
However, despite the sudden invitation, Chen Changâan didnât refuse Zhang Qiuyeâs proposal. Just as Zhang Qiuye said, âenjoy life to the fullest and never let a cup of wine go empty under the moonlight.â Itâs rare to meet someone he likes. If they eat together, they eat together!
As time passed, the three of them were toasting and drinking, and in the blink of an eye, an hour passed. During these nearly two hours of feasting and drinking, Chen Changâan had learned about Zhang Qiuyeâs background.
Zhang Qiuye, who comes from a subspace called Shen Yuan Da Shi Jie, his father is the head of a prominent family, Zhang Family, of Shen Yuan Da Shi Jie and is a Heavenly Venerate.
Under his fatherâs leadership, the Zhang Family has continued to rise in power, even if all three thousand realms merged, it could still compete with any of the Seven Stars!
Zhang Qiuye is now running away from home because he didnât want to succeed his father as the head of the Zhang Family, so he ran off in a huff.
His father, unable to do anything about it, eventually had to send a few bodyguards to follow him with ample money!
This circumstance led to Zhang Qiuyeâs unregulated spending along the way.
At this point, Shen Xuzi curiously asked:
"By the way, Little Brother Zhang, whatâs your purpose for running away from home?"
"If youâre merely running away from home, you wouldnât come to the Tianyuan World."
"Iâm here to find my master!" In response to Shen Xuziâs question, Zhang Qiuye answered candidly.
"Your master?" Shen Xuzi was confused.
"Yes, my master!" Zhang Qiuye nodded his head emphatically. He was already a little buzzed by this point and mumbled:
"You guys donât know, actually, I came here to become a disciple!"
"My choice for a master is Supreme Saint Chen Changâan, he is my destined master. No matter what happens, I must become his disciple this time!"
"And the reason why I came here is because I heard that my master, the Supreme Saint Chen Changâan of Tianshui region, is coming to the Tianyuan World. So, I came here early to wait for him!"
"Sadly, Iâve been waiting for several days but I havenât seen him anywhere!"
"Huh?"
"You came to become a disciple of this...no, of Chen Changâan?" Shen Xuzi was dumbfounded upon hearing this.
"Yes, I came to become Chen Changâanâs disciple!" Zhang Qiuye lifted his cup and took another drink, a gleam of yearning in his eyes.
"To become a disciple of Chen Changâan, and then, with a wave of his hand, to the sky, and another to the earth, defeat all the unbeatable enemies!"
