Yan Feirou sank into deep thought. "Even so …"
"Even so, we can't be certain that Old Fire Relayer is the mysterious senior we're looking for, right?"
Yan Hengbo smiled faintly. "If you continue listening, you'll understand. Old Fire Relayer has a disciple called Meng Chao. He's a third-year student in Dragon City Ninth High School. His family isn't that well off, and he lives in a public renting house. Feirou, the video you received the other day showed a young man demonstrating the Demonically Modified Ripple Force. What uniform did he wear? What was the background like?"
Yan Feirou cried out in surprise. "Ah, he censored it, but based on the color and style of his uniform, he's either from Third High School or Ninth High School. And his room is small and messy. It's like a public renting house!"
"That's right. Meng Chao was injured while cultivating last year, and he was hospitalized for a few months. His chances of cultivating were practically cut off, but this year, he recovered and rose to power miraculously. What other reason do you think aside from the mysterious senior's guidance?"
Yan Hengbo continued. "If that's not enough, do you know why Old Fire Relayer attacked Great Waves Corporation?"
"Didn't you say that Great Waves Corporation added all sorts of hormones and illegal drugs to monster blood to pass it off as superbeast blood? They broke a great taboo for superhumans, so Old Fire Relayer had to uphold justice and suppress this criminal organization?" Yan Feirou asked.
"That's what happened later. In truth, Great Waves Corporation's criminal methods are very secretive. Even the special medicine department didn't notice it, and Old Fire Relayer should be constantly fighting in the depths of the fog. He has a lot of things to deal with every day, so why would he care about a small fry like Great Waves Corporation?"
Yan Hengbo said. "In the beginning, Old Fire Relayer targeted Great Waves Corporation because of his disciple.
"Old Fire Relayer's disciple, Meng Chao, was in the same class as Great Waves Corporation's chairman's son, Zuo Haoran. Their relationship was bad, and recently, they even had a fierce conflict. Do you understand now?"
"Ah!"
Yan Feirou cried out in surprise. Her eyes sparkled. "If that's the case, all the details match up. Everything makes sense now!"
"That's right. No one can bully Old Fire Relayer's disciple as they please. Great Waves Corporation has really run into a wall this time. But it's a father's fault if he doesn't teach his son well. If he brings up such an unfilial son, his reputation will be ruined, and he'll have to spend his days in prison. He deserves it!" As Yan Hengbo spoke, he glared at Yan Zhennan.
Yan Zhennan shuddered. "Dad, I know my mistake. I won't dare to provoke an otherworldly elite like Old Fire Relayer anymore."
Yan Hengbo snorted coldly and returned to the topic at hand. "With the Old Fire Relayer's abilities, with just one glance, he managed to immediately see through the criminal activities of Great Waves Corporation. Is there anything he can't figure out? Why would he need the Yan family to do something unnecessary? Therefore, when he said the word 'troublesome', he was very particular about it.
"To Old Fire Relayer, even if he really destroyed Great Waves Corporation, it wouldn't be much of a problem, but just like what I asked your father to send just now, Great Waves is a pile of shit. What right does it have for Old Fire Relayer to personally step on it?
"Also, last time, the Yan family offended Old Fire Relayer. Even though he said that he didn't care about it, he didn't take anything from us and didn't ask us to do anything. How can we say that he has truly forgiven us? Even if he doesn't care about it, will you be able to sleep? "
Yan Feirou shook her head. "I can't. I haven't been able to sleep over the past few days. Every night, I get scared and wake up at two or three in the morning."
"That's why he showed mercy and waved his hand to let us handle a small problem. He's giving us a way out of this embarrassing situation so that we won't have to worry."
Yan Hengbo leaned against the back of his chair, and all the wrinkles on his face smoothed out. "Thank goodness he's such a kind senior, and thank goodness I'm the one who handled this personally, or else, you ignorant children would have messed things up again!"
Yan Feirou's face turned red.
At that moment, Yan Zhennan asked, "Old Man, to properly handle Great Waves Corporation, we conducted a lot of investigations, including Meng Chao's identity. Will Old Fire Relayer be unhappy?"
"It's fine. Of course I've thought about it," Yan Hengbo explained.
"I've talked to Old Ning for a long time. By the looks of it, Old Fire Relayer doesn't want Meng Chao to hide his identity. Besides, it seems like he wants to use his disciple to toss out brand new martial arts, knowledge, and skills." This is very normal. Old Fire Relayer is definitely a famous and outstanding person in the field. With just a few words, he can stir up a storm. There are plenty of cutting-edge, cutting-edge, and uncertain things that are tossed out by nobodies to test the waters.
"Old Man," Yan Zhennan said, "Look at this. Old Fire Relayer said that he keeps a low profile. Is there a reason behind this?"
"Of course there is. I think it's because of his identity."
Yan Hengbo thought about it. "If he's really an old monster from the depths of the fog, he must have a lot of enemies and grudges. It's not good for him to cause trouble in a grand manner. Others might not be able to deal with him, but they can deal with his disciple, right? "I think that Old Fire Relayer wants to maintain a rather transcendent position, but he wants his disciple to wander around alone. This can be considered a form of training, right? "Of course, he can reveal some information to the rather friendly forces of power so that we can protect his disciple."
Yan Zhennan's eyes lit up. "Are we a rather friendly force of power?"
"That's for sure."
Yan Hengbo smiled. "Do you remember what I said last time? If I didn't have a deep understanding and feelings toward the Yan Family Ripple Force, it would be impossible for me to create such a perfect ripple force. There's a high chance that I'm friends with this senior, and he might have provided me with guidance in the past."
Yan Zhennan said anxiously, "Then, Old Fire Relayer has already forgiven us. Should we —"
"Zhennan, what should I say to you? Don't be too eager for quick success. You just suffered a setback, and you've already forgotten about the pain of your wounds?"
Yan Hengbo's face darkened. "You're in such a hurry to curry favor with someone, and your goal is so obvious. Do you think that Old Fire Relayer will like it?"
Yan Zhennan's face turned red. "I was too rash."
"You don't have to care about what happens next, and neither do I. Whoever started the trouble should end it. The senior liked Feirou from the start, so I'll let her handle it," Yan Hengbo said with a grin.
"Feirou, if you have the chance, you should get to know this Meng Chao."
"Huh?"
"Old Fire Relayer is an outstanding person, and he doesn't have the time to care about our business. But since he doesn't mind Meng Chao mentioning his name, it means that he has acknowledged our master-disciple relationship. Besides, he has the intention to push Meng Chao up to the stage. If we take good care of his beloved disciple, there's no way the old senior will be able to see our goodwill."
Yan Feirou was already dizzy. "I-Is that so?"
"Of course, or else why do you think Old Fire Relayer specifically asked us to fight against Great Waves Corporation? Aside from what I said just now, there's another meaning to it. 'Meng Chao is my subordinate, and whoever touches him will be going against me. Of course, I'll also remember whoever treats him well.' "
When Yan Hengbo said this, he stopped talking for a moment. "Wait, don't ever say 'old monster' again. Walls have ears, and no one knows what the senior's temper is like."
Yan Feirou nodded. "Then, we'll call him Old Fire Relayer?"
Yan Hengbo waved his hand. "Old man isn't respectful enough. Just call him Old Immortal. Old Immortal Fire Relayer, that's what you call Meng Chao when you run into him."
Yan Feirou thought about it. "I understand. I'll think about what chance I can reasonably get to know Meng Chao."
"That's right," Yan Hengbo said. "The future of the Yan family is still yours. You have to seize it properly. Don't be like your father, who doesn't know what's good for him!"
…
At the market in Blessed Heavenly Garden.
Right when Bai Suxin arrived next to the meat stall, she heard the plump lady cackling like an old hen. "Of course there's a happy occasion. If there's no happy occasion, who would buy so many tube bones? They're so expensive!"
'This is bad,' Bai Suxin thought. The plump lady loved to show off, and it would be boring if she kept nagging at her.
She wanted to turn around, but the plump lady had already seen her. Unfortunately, her legs were not good, and she could not walk fast. The plump lady caught up to her with just two steps, and a large bag of tube bones nearly hit her face.
Bai Suxin could not dodge it, so she could only smile. "Plump lady, I'm buying groceries. Oh, there's so many tube bones. Did Old Li give out a bonus?"
"Hey, that old coot only gives out a few things every month. Why would he give out a bonus? It's because A 'Ming wants to get into college this year. Today is the first test, and he didn't do well. He's only ranked thirty-second in Eleventh High School, but he finally has the right to join the second test, so he should give him some encouragement!" The plump lady laughed so hard that she quivered.
"The first test of college?" Bai Suxin's smile was a little awkward.
"That's right. If you want to get into college, you have to first take the test in the school, then the region, and finally the city. It's really troublesome. Isn't today the only test in the entire city?" The plump lady stopped talking for a moment before she suddenly slapped her own forehead.
"Look at my poor memory. Your A 'Chao last year … Ah, no wonder you're not concerned about him. It's fine, it's fine. It's good that he can get into a higher vocational college. A' Chao has been smart since he was young, so he will definitely be able to get into a good higher vocational college. Besides, we're old neighbors, and he and A 'Ming have been friends since they were young. When A' Ming gets into college, all you have to do is ask him, and A 'Ming will definitely help you."
"Yes, yes, A 'Ming is really smart. Congratulations, Plump Auntie," Bai Suxin stuttered.
"Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. Hurry up and go back to cook. Tube bones need to be stewed for a while before they taste good, right?" The plump lady clucked like an old hen laying eggs. She crossed her arms and walked out of the market with her head held high.
Bai Suxin could vaguely hear her grabbing another familiar person at the entrance of the market. "Ah, Granny Dong, you don't know, but tube bones are really expensive nowadays. I can't afford them!"
Bai Suxin stood there in a daze for a while before she suddenly limped back to the meat stall.
"Big Sis Suxin, what do you want to buy? The streaky pork today is pretty good," the employee at the meat stall asked with a grin.
"Did you buy tube bones just now?" Bai Suxin asked.
"Yeah."
"How many did you buy?"
"Three."
"Then you should also pick three for me. No, four!"
"Big Sis Suxin, you have a guest? The tube bones today are very expensive. "
