However, thinking of this, his expression darkened. This broken body was under a restriction, so even if a woman took the initiative to throw herself into his arms, he could only watch helplessly.
Remembering what Old Man Mi had told him, he couldn't help but ask, "Guardian Bottle, do you know about the Grandmaster realm?"
“Everyone knows about the Great Zhou Dynasty, don’t you know, son-in-law?” Cheng Shouping looked at him strangely.
Zu An nearly choked, and hurriedly said, "Of course I know, the son-in-law is testing you."
“I knew it,” Cheng Shouping said with a look of sudden realization. “Grandmasters can manipulate the energy of heaven and earth at will and can fly and soar freely in the sky. They are the most outstanding people in the world.”
Zu An was secretly alarmed: "How many Grandmasters are there in Bright Moon City?"
"How many?" Cheng Shouping seemed to have heard a huge joke. "Not a single one!"
"Huh?" Zu An was stunned. This Bright Moon City looked quite big, how come there wasn't a single one?
“Don’t even mention Mingyue City, there probably aren’t any Grandmasters in the entire Linchuan Prefecture,” Cheng Shouping said excitedly. “You know, in our Great Zhou Dynasty, only the Three Dukes, the Grand General, the General of the Cavalry, and some princes are Grandmasters. Their numbers are very limited. How could Mingyue City possibly have any?”
Then he gave a general explanation of the correspondence between official positions and cultivator realms in this world, which shocked Zu An: That old man Mi is fooling me. There are only so many Grandmasters in the whole world. Even if I have the help of a keyboard, it would probably take me forever to reach the Grandmaster realm. Not to mention that he doesn't know I have a cheat code. So where does he get the confidence that I can reach the Grandmaster realm?
While deep in thought, Zu An suddenly noticed Cheng Shouping looking at him with the kind of look one might give someone mentally challenged. Zu An couldn't help but feel angry: "You know quite a lot, huh?"
Cheng Shouping smiled so much that his features almost squeezed together: "You flatter me, son-in-law."
Are you also a cultivator?
Cheng Shouping's smile faltered, and he said with a somewhat somber expression, "No, I don't have the talent for cultivation, so I can't sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."
Zuan hummed in agreement: "You idle people really know how to live. You can't cultivate, yet you know everything."
Anger value from Narumi +33!
Zu An thought for a moment and asked, "By the way, are there any famous doctors in Bright Moon City?" If he were to cultivate step by step to become a Grandmaster, he would probably be an old man with a white beard by then. Even if he regained his abilities, he would only be able to look at the sky and shed tears. No, he must think of another way.
Since this world is a cultivation world, doctors must be even more powerful; maybe they have a solution.
“A miracle doctor? Yes, there is one,” Cheng Shouping said, clearly enjoying the feeling of answering people’s questions. “Mr. Ji in the city is the most skilled miracle doctor in Mingyue City… no, in the entire Linchuan County. There is no disease he cannot cure.”
"Surname Ji? You wouldn't happen to be named Ji Xiaolan, would you?" Zu An asked.
"Ji Xiaolan?" Cheng Shouping scratched his head. "No, it's not Ji Xiaolan."
Zuan immediately perked up: "Come on, take me to him!"
Cheng Shouping looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Young Master, weren't you injured by the Second Miss's Howling Whip? Why do you look like this..."
Zu An's eyes darted around: "I went to see Doctor Ji to treat my injuries."
“But the doctor in the manor has already applied medicine to the young master. He will recover after a few more days of rest. There is no need to go see Doctor Ji,” Cheng Shouping asked.
Zuan's face darkened: "Are you the son-in-law or am I the son-in-law? Why all the nonsense? Just take me there already."
"Young master, please calm down, young master, please calm down, I'll take you there right away." Cheng Shouping's face was once again covered with a fawning smile.
Zu An was somewhat surprised. This guy really had a good temper. He wasn't angry at all. Even when Zu An mocked him like that, his anger level was only a tiny bit. Had his edges been smoothed out over the years in the Chu family?
He changed his clothes, and the two of them went out like that. He was a little worried that he wouldn't be able to come and go freely, but the guards at the door just glanced at him a couple of times and didn't stop him from leaving.
Recalling the scene when he entered last night, Zu'an couldn't help but ask, "By the way, where is the young lady?"
"It seems the young lady has gone out," Cheng Shouping replied.
Zu An breathed a sigh of relief. For some reason, he always felt a strange pressure when facing the master and servant: "By the way, do you know Xue'er?"
Cheng Shouping's eyes lit up: "Who doesn't know Sister Xue'er? She's the young lady's personal maid. She's beautiful and has a sweet voice. Countless servants in the manor consider her their dream girl. Young master, if you don't mind, could you help us get together?"
"You're dreaming," Zu An said, speechless. Where did this guy get the confidence to have feelings for Xue'er? "Stop talking nonsense. Do you have any other information about her? Like, did she grow up in your Chu family?"
"Oh, no, that's not it." Seeing that the other party refused to help matchmake, Cheng Shouping couldn't help but feel a little down. It seemed that the young master had also taken a fancy to Xue'er. He had heard that the personal maid of a young lady from a wealthy family was to be the young master's roommate. "Sister Xue'er was rescued by the young lady three or four years ago. Later, she was well-behaved, sensible, and clever. She quickly won the young lady's favor and was appointed as her personal head maid."
"Well-behaved and sensible?" Zu An really couldn't connect that sharp-tongued girl with these words. Hearing that she had only come to the Chu family three or four years ago, he couldn't help but think about it.
"By the way, what's the situation with the second and third branches of the family? What's their relationship with the master's lineage?" Zu An thought of what happened in the ancestral hall today. Chu Tiesheng and Chu Yuepo seemed to have some inexplicable hostility towards him.
"It's alright," Cheng Shouping replied after thinking for a moment. "The second master is in charge of the family's iron ore and weapons business, while the third master is in charge of the family's salt business. They can be considered the master's right-hand men."
