But at this moment, his phone suddenly rang.
Ye Hao raised the phone in his hand, then answered the call.
Once the call connected, a sincere voice came from the other end, "May I ask if this is Master Ye Hao?"
"What master?" Ye Hao asked, puzzled.
"Are you Ye Hao?" The person on the other end spoke cautiously, as if afraid of offending Ye Hao, speaking with great care and caution.
"It's me," Ye Hao replied.
"Ah! So you really are the master, I thought it would take a long time to find you. I didn't expect to find you with a single phone call. I was worried I'd have to travel all over the country to find you. If that were the case, I..." The sincere voice on the other end was like a river bursting its banks, unstoppable.
"Get to the point," Ye Hao frowned, wondering who this person was! If it weren't for the person's respectful tone, Ye Hao would have hung up long ago.
"Master, I want to meet you, where are you?"
"Who are you?" Ye Hao asked.
"My name is Cheng Dao, and I'm the 111th generation disciple of Wudang Mountain. I'm the senior disciple among the 111th generation, also..." Cheng Dao on the other end wanted to continue talking about his identity to make Ye Hao understand more clearly.
Hearing this, Ye Hao already knew who he was. Oh, it turned out to be a fellow Wudang disciple. Ye Hao immediately said, "So you're a fellow disciple..."
"What fellow disciple, Master, in terms of seniority, you are our Master of Masters. But since my master said so, I should just call you Master, so where are you, Master? Can I come find you?" The young senior disciple Cheng Dao, who placed importance on hierarchies, spoke respectfully throughout.
"Sure, how long will it take you to get to Yanjing?" Ye Hao asked.
"Let me check the map..." Cheng Dao on the other end was silent for a moment, and then said excitedly, "Ah! Master, you're actually in Yanjing! I'm just at Jin Gate. If I walk, it'll take about a day or so. Is it okay if I come find you tomorrow, Master?"
"You plan to walk?" Ye Hao was speechless, another one like the Nanling Martial Fool.
"Of course! The ancestors say that we should be down-to-earth, not be greedy for drinks, not be greedy for speed, not be greedy for attachments, not..."
"Okay, okay, okay, okay, Cheng Dao, just come over! I'll wait for you in Yanjing tomorrow," Ye Hao felt utterly speechless with this disciple Cheng Dao, who rambled as if he didn't need to pause when speaking.
This chain of cannonballs was daunting to deal with!
"Then, Master, you should go to bed early. The ancestors said early to bed and early to rise benefits oneself and others. Disciple Cheng Dao is going to sleep now. Goodnight, Master." With that, Cheng Dao on the other end hung up immediately.
Ye Hao chuckled helplessly at this, finding the Wudang disciples interesting.
Ye Hao hung up the call, and the crowd was about to disperse.
Because Lin Ruyu and the others were eager to take photos with Nangong Tianxiang or something, Ye Hao left the scene first with some of the girls.
However, for Yan Shuiyue's safety, he had Sun Mei stay behind with Yan Shuiyue, ensuring her safety until she returned to the Tianfu Group's headquarters. Otherwise, if something unfortunate happened while she was on business trips, Ye Hao would feel guilty towards Lin Ruyu.
Yan Shuiyue was very pleased with Ye Hao's arrangement and did not refuse. Although she was concerned about Lin Ruyu and the others lacking the protection of someone with innate skills, she trusted her son-in-law Ye Hao to protect Lin Ruyu well.
As Ye Hao led the girls towards the school gate, two women approached from the side.
When Ye Hao saw them, he asked in confusion, "What are you doing here?"
"We're freshmen, of course we're here!" said one of the women who looked very gentle, while the other, who seemed beautiful but unsatisfied, kept her head held high as if Ye Hao had displeased her in some way.
"Alright then, you carry on. We have some matters to attend to first," Ye Hao shrugged and was about to take Lin Ruyu and the others away.
"No, we're coming with you."
"Long Yi, why do you want to come with us?" Ye Hao asked helplessly, looking at Shangguan Longyi. These two women were none other than the Murong sisters.
"Why are you so annoyed! Having beauties around isn't enough?" Murong Xue gave Ye Hao a sideways glance and huffed.
"Snatching people's bracelets and you still have the nerve to speak," Ye Hao glared at Murong Xue and retorted.
"Oh! I don't care! I know you're going with the sisters to see Nangong Tianxiang. I want to go too," Shangguan Longyi began to act coy, then walked over to hold hands with Lin Ruyu and the others.
Ye Hao was helpless, at this moment Lin Ruyu laughed and said, "Then let's all go together? Surely our Lord Ye's face is big enough, Miss Nangong wouldn't mind, right!"
"Alright then, let's go!"
"Wait a moment..."
Just then, a voice came from behind Ye Hao and the others.
Two women appeared, panting and with heaving chests, before Ye Hao and the group, indicating they had run all the way there.
"It's you?" Ye Hao looked at the two women in front of him in surprise.
The two were Ji Keci and Chen Shuyan, whom Ye Hao hadn't seen in almost a year, yet today they were both dressed in highly elegant and gorgeous outfits, as if attending some grand banquet.
"Chairman Ye, you're really not making this easy for us, are you meeting the goddess? How can you not wait for us? We rushed back to the dorm to change clothes. Help me see, did my makeup come off?" Ji Keci asked with a flushed face, getting Ye Hao to check for her.
Lin Ruyu and the other ladies frowned slightly, not pleased, but since she was a partner from a wealthy family, they refrained from saying anything.
"No, you look great," Ye Hao said absentmindedly.
"What about me?" Chen Shuyan also laughed and asked, and then went to hold Shangguan Longyi's hand, the two being good friends, naturally sticking together upon meeting.
"You both look great." Ye Hao wasn't in the mood to respond; why did it seem like these women had a pact?
Just as Ye Hao was about to say let's go, another pretty lady shouted for them to wait.
Ye Hao was about to lose his temper, but upon hearing the voice of the newcomer, he bottled up his anger.
"Hao, I'm coming with you too." A petite figure with a face no less beautiful than Murong Xue came running from behind them.
This girl was none other than Ye Hao's sister, Ye Qingcheng.
"Qingcheng, didn't you... didn't you go home?" Ye Hao asked, looking at Ye Qingcheng.
"Hao, you haven't been home for a long time. I don't want to go back either. How about I move in with the sisters?" Ye Qingcheng said cutely, leaning into Fang Ni and the others' arms, smiling.
"I support that." All the girls, including Lin Ruyu, spoke in unison, supporting the lovely Ye Qingcheng.
"It's up to you guys, let's go!" Ye Hao was worried about making Nangong Tianxiang and others wait too long and felt awkward about it.
But just then, another person came running over anxiously...(To be continued. If you like this work, please support it by voting for it on Qidian (qidian.com) with recommendations or monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. For mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
