Seeing her brother retreating, Su Youran raised her voice and said, "Brother, are they all your senior brothers from Ghost Valley Mountain? Isn't it said that Ghost Valley Mountain disciples are always arrogant, fearless of power, unconventional, and otherworldly?"

Before Su Youchen could deny it, the senior brother immediately said, "No, no, no, we haven't finished our training yet, so we're not considered proper disciples of Ghost Valley Mountain. We're just ordinary cultivators who have come out to gain experience."

Su Youran tilted her head and thought for a moment, remembering Master Wuwang's bald head, and looked at Wen Yuanbai in confusion, "Master is a monk, and they are Taoists, so is Ghost Valley Mountain a Buddhist or a Taoist sect?"

Another young senior disciple quickly answered, "I know the answer to this question! Most of the disciples of Guigu Mountain who haven't graduated are impoverished and have no money to drink or eat meat, let alone marry and have children, so they pretend to be monks or Taoists!"

Su Youran: ……

Su Youchen couldn't listen to it anymore and turned to walk towards the door.

It's better to ignore these senior brothers!

The waiter next to him nervously called out, "Young master, you just said this meal was on you. You haven't paid the bill for this table yet..."

Three of the senior brothers also realized what was happening and quickly took a few steps to surround Su Youchen, saying righteously, "That's right, junior brother, you can't leave without paying the bill! You can't go back on your word!"

Upon receiving the old manager's report, Shen Zhangyu recognized him as Su Youchen, whom he hadn't seen for several years. Now that he finally had a chance to intervene, he immediately walked over and scolded the waiter, "Nonsense! This is the young master of our Fuxi Restaurant! I'll take care of this meal; there's no need to pay!"

The waiter was shocked and repeatedly agreed.

Upon hearing this, the three senior brothers surrounding Su Youchen immediately made way, beaming with joy. "Oh, since you don't need to pay, junior brother, you can go now. Have a safe trip."

Su Youchen: ……

He gritted his teeth, "Fine, we're officially breaking off all ties!"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and strode away.

Su Youran called out "brother" several times, but she couldn't stop him from breaking off his friendship with these bastards.

Wen Yuanbai suddenly burst out with a series of "hahahahaha".

The other senior brothers glanced at him sideways.

Su Youran pulled Wen Yuanbai and tried to squeeze out.

The eldest brother strode over in one step, "Little sister! Oh no, older sister... Okay, okay, grandma! Grandma!"

He bowed deeply and winked at his fellow disciples behind him, "Did you hear that? Your brother has broken off all ties with us. You can't just abandon us! Otherwise, the seven of us brothers won't have a meal after this, and we'll starve to death on the streets sooner or later!"

"Yes, yes, please!"

"Grandma!"

Su Youran: ……

Is she being held hostage by her identity?

Wen Yuanbai stood in front of them, his smile warm. "Giving you food is easy enough. Tell me, what can you do?"

The eldest brother puffed out his chest, "I can tell fortunes!"

The people behind him chattered amongst themselves, "I can read feng shui!"

"I can capture ghosts and bring them back to life!"

"I can also read faces and predict marriage prospects!"

"And me, I have some knowledge of witchcraft and medicine!"

After hearing this, Su Youran gasped and bowed respectfully, saying, "Senior brothers, you all sound like experts! Then you should find your own way to make a living. Why can't you even afford to eat?"

So the group started pouring out their grievances again: "Our senior uncle taught us how to make a living after he returned to the mountain, but... we've been down the mountain for several years now, wandering around telling fortunes and doing feng shui, and we really can't even get enough to eat!"

Wen Yuanbai seized on the loophole, "Scattered in various places? How come they're all gathered in one place now?"

"That was when my junior brother met us on his way back to the capital after he left the mountain, and he took us with him. He picked up the seven of us along the way! If he hadn't led us to this restaurant today, we would have gone hungry again!"

Su Youran: ……

His lips twitched violently.

Shen Zhangyu couldn't stand it any longer. "Young Master, why don't you sit down and discuss this in detail?"

Su Youran then realized that they had blocked the lobby. She quickly pulled them back to a large table and asked, "Take your time. How much do you charge for fortune telling and feng shui consultations? How could you possibly not have enough to eat?"

The eldest brother held up two fingers.

"Two ounces?" Su Youran asked. "That's not bad!"

The eldest brother looked at her as if she were an idiot, "Two ounces isn't enough to fill you up? Two ounces and people will come to you for fortune telling?"

Su Youran looked at Wen Yuanbai blankly, "Senior brother, is two taels of silver for a fortune telling session very expensive?"

Wen Yuanbai chuckled and asked his senior brother, "You don't mean two coins a time, do you?"

The eldest brother nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes! Two coins won't hurt you, two coins won't make you feel cheated!"

Su Youran: ……

Wen Yuanbai then asked another senior brother, "Then, what about feng shui?"

The man extended his palm.

Su Youran felt utterly hopeless. "Five... coins?"

The man nodded vigorously. "My master said that five coins can buy five big meat buns, but... I can't get a single feng shui consultation job for ten days or half a month..."

Su Youran chuckled, "Your martial uncle must be an idiot."

That's why I taught you bunch of idiots.

Wen Yuanbai then asked, "May I ask your martial uncle's name?"

The group said in unison, "Our master's name is Wu Wang. He was originally a bald monk, but he grew his hair out a few years ago."

Su Youran: !!!

Wen Yuanbai:! ! !

Su Youran felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

So, this group of senior brothers really are their senior brothers?!

Should they repay the debts that their master owed?

She asked, trembling, "Then do you know... Master Wuwang... also took in two outer disciples?"

The eldest disciple nodded, his face full of sympathy. "Of course I know. Alas, I wonder if those two outer disciples are still alive... Master Wuwang himself can't even get enough to eat, how could he care about the lives of the outer disciples?"

Su Youran and Wen Yuanbai exchanged a glance and made a decision together: they must never let them know that the two outer disciples of Wuwang were the two of them!

Su Youran then asked, "Senior Brother, are you very accurate at fortune telling? Won't you be proven wrong soon?"

It doesn't matter if it's not allowed, as long as it's not exposed too quickly.

The eldest brother patted his chest and said, "No money if you don't agree!"

She then asked another person, "This senior brother... what's your feng shui lineage? Are you skilled in feng shui? Will you bring misfortune upon people?"

The man said, "I will perform the ritual seven times. You are not allowed to refuse money! It will absolutely not bring disaster."

Su Youran thought for a moment and said, "I've heard that things have been a bit unsettled at Grand Tutor Zhou's residence lately. If you two senior brothers could go and resolve this matter, I promise you at least one hundred taels of silver! Are you interested?!"

The eldest and seventh senior brothers' eyes widened instantly, their voices trembling, "One...one hundred taels? Really?!"

How many meat buns can you buy with one hundred taels of silver?
