After a series of rounds, even Wu Tianqing could only manage a draw, and that was after the previous rounds.

so……

“Master, they have internal martial arts skills, they are very strong.” Wu Tianqing was completely convinced of his defeat.

"Okay, then keep an eye on things and try to get Master Yuansun to provide guidance." Once you're on her turf and have eaten her food, you have to exchange it for something. There's no such thing as a free lunch.

"good."

After the competition, Yuan Zhuan invited the old man and the young man into his office.

"How about it, girl? I'm still going strong, aren't I?" The old Taoist priest Yuansun said with a smug look on his face, his beard standing on end.

Sun Dasheng stood by, grinning foolishly as if he were cheering him on.

"Wu Tianqing, Bai Jianqiang, the three of us are my men, and we want to learn your internal martial arts."

The smile on Master Yuansun's face froze, and the hand that was stroking his beard fell to his side. "No!"

"This is the internal martial arts of our Qi Qingshan lineage, and it is never passed on to outsiders," Yuan Sun refused without hesitation.

Yuan Zhuan didn't care at all about Yuan Sun's refusal. He poured water for Yuan Sun and said, "Don't be in such a hurry to refuse. Here, have some water to soothe your throat."

Yuan Sun's eyebrows furrowed, and he glanced warily at the teacup. "No matter what you say, even if you kick us out, I can't agree. This internal martial art is passed down from master to disciple and cannot be passed on to outsiders. It's a rule of the sect. I hope the boss can understand my difficulties."

"Thunderstorm Talisman, Gale Talisman, do you know them?"

Yuan Sun's eyes widened, and his lips trembled slightly. How could he not know these two talismans? He only knew their names but had never seen the real talismans. Many years ago, due to natural disasters and man-made calamities, their ancestor lost too many inheritances during his wandering and survival process. These Thunderstorm Talisman and Gale Talisman were just the most inconspicuous ones. One can imagine how regrettable the other inheritances were.

Yuan Zhuan smiled and took out two talismans from his backpack: a Thunderstorm Talisman and a Gale Talisman.

He waved the glass in front of Yuan Sun, who stared wide-eyed and reached for it, but Yuan Zhuan quickly pulled it back, saying, "Drink some water first."

"Yuan Zhuan, how could you do this? What do you mean by this? You took it out but won't let anyone see it!!" Yuan Sun was furious. It was just a sip of water, what's the big deal?

Yuan Sun tilted his head back and drank the water from his teacup, stunned.

It slid down my throat like a clear spring, entering not my stomach, but my entire body – what powerful energy!

Like a spiritual spring gathering spiritual energy in the mountains, it loosened the bottleneck that had been stuck for so long.

"What is this?" It was much better than what he had drunk when he went to Black Yin Mountain before.

This is no ordinary object!

Yuan Sun's throat tightened with excitement, and his voice became hoarse.

At this moment, only he himself knew how fast his heart was beating, like a gust of wind, as if it were about to burst out of his chest.

"Besides these two talismans, I can give you a half-month supply of this spiritual liquid, which should be enough for you to break through your current level; the one you drank last time, 200 ml a day, is an essential supplement for strengthening your body."

"Why do you want my internal energy?" Yuan Sun coughed to relieve the dryness in his throat and asked in a deep voice.

“I need to accumulate merit, so I will naturally do many things that go against the interests of others. Wu Tianqing and Bai Jianqiang are my most capable people, and they are with me. Therefore, they will inevitably be in danger. Our safety is very important, and we need to be able to protect ourselves.”

Yuan Sun's brow furrowed, his gaze sharp as he looked directly into Yuan Zhuan's eyes. "Not evil?"

"I will not offend others unless they offend me." This is her bottom line guarantee.

Yuan Sun did not reply immediately, and Yuan Zhuan said again, "You still have to teach the other people in the school their external martial arts skills, and that's your salary in exchange."

Yuansun Daoist: ...

That brat, she's got a clever plan!

"What if I disagree?" Yuan Sun's eyes never left Yuan Zhuan's facial expression.

At that moment, Yuan Zhuan tilted his head and smiled, "You're not the only one in the world who knows kung fu, whether it's internal or external. There are too many people who need what I have."

So, you understand! I don't need you!

Yuan Sun: He actually understood the brat's unspoken meaning!

So annoying!!

"Deal. When do we start?" Yuan Sun's smile was so fake, his back teeth clenched, and he looked like he wanted to devour Yuan Zhuan alive.

"Three days from now. I've been a bit busy lately, but your work hours will start at 8 a.m. tomorrow and end at 6 p.m. You must not be late or leave early. If you need to go out, you must ask for leave. It's a six-day work week with one day off."

Yuansun: ...

Sun Dasheng: ...

Even Zhou Bapi wasn't this ruthless!

"Give me the talisman!!" Seeing that Yuan Zhuan had finished explaining things but still hadn't shown any intention of giving him the talisman, Yuan Sun became anxious.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot."

Yuan Sun: I don't believe you for a second! You brat!

Yuan Sun snatched it from Yuan Zhuan's hand and strode out.

"11 PM tonight, at the entrance of July Residential Area, see you there." Yuan Zhuan's voice successfully stopped the old man and young man from leaving.

Yuan Sun took a deep breath, turned around, and sat back down on the sofa. "What do you mean? Is it about tonight?"

"Yes, tonight."

"What kind of disaster? A landslide? A fire? An explosion?" If the whole building is in danger, it must be a major disaster that is difficult to escape.

You'll see when you get there.

"Okay, I won't ask. Are you going to rescue people?" I hate it when someone leaves things unsaid. Deep breath.

"I won't help, I'll just watch the show."

Yuan Sun was taken aback. "Watching the show?" Or is he even a person?

Sun Dasheng: What a human being would do that?

"I'm going to call the police." Yuan Sun closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and made the decision.

Yuan Zhuan was not surprised by Yuan Sun's choice at all. This old man's obsession with saving all living beings was much stronger than hers. She could see that.

so……

"You can't save them," the system's voice suddenly rang out.

"I'm hopeless. I can't do anything." If Yuan Zhuan's consciousness had a physical form, it would definitely be shrugging and spreading its hands at this moment.

“You took him to the accident site. You have already been exposed to the cause and effect. You must stop him from calling the police and cut off your cause and effect.”

Yuan Zhuan was furious. "He's one of us. Even if I hadn't taken him yesterday, he would have found out today. Don't you even know how many demons and monsters are already waiting in the streets? Do you think they can't sense it?"

The system is silent.

"I can see your causal path here. You'd better watch yourself."

"Thank you, but no need."

Yuan Zhuan had a headache. There was no way to stop it; watching from the sidelines was the only thing she could do.

At 11 p.m., Yuan Zhuan and his two companions arrived at the entrance of July Residential Area. Today, inside and outside July Residential Area, as well as the surrounding streets, there were faint shadowy figures moving about. They were crowded together, in groups of three or five, sometimes whispering to each other, as if they were waiting for something.

"My goodness!" Yuan Sun Daoist gasped. How the hell was he supposed to save them? "Grandmaster, look, the people from Building 14 are back. They left work too early today," Sun Dasheng exclaimed.

Yuan Zhuan pursed his lips, "It was just a coincidence, nothing more."

Yuan Sun turned his head and saw two middle-aged men about to enter the July residential area one after the other.

"Dasheng, go and lock that little gate tightly. Don't let anyone in. If they cause trouble, let them call the police!"

"Huh? Are we going to fight?" Sun Dasheng scratched his head.

"If necessary."
