"What do you mean?" Zhou Wen asked with a frown.
"This is your allowance for this month, Young Master Wen. If it's not enough, you can request more from Madam. Madam originally wanted to prepare a few suitable Companion Beasts for you, but thinking that you will soon advance to the Legendary stage, Young Master Wen, you will have more choices and be more practical, so there's no need to prepare them now, "said the adjutant.
"Sis Lan really gave these to me?" Zhou Wen asked the adjutant.
"Yes," the adjutant answered firmly.
"Then help me thank Sis Lan. I appreciate your kindness, but there's no need for it," Zhou Wen said as he put down the lid.
The adjutant looked at Zhou Wen in surprise. "Young Master Wen, this is your allowance. It's the same as Miss Jing's. It's what you deserve."
"That's what An Jing deserves, not mine. I don't need it either. Please go back and tell Sis Lan that I respect her very much, but my surname isn't An," Zhou Wen said.
The adjutant looked at Zhou Wen and didn't persuade him any further. He took out a pen and paper and wrote a phone number. He handed it to Zhou Wen with both hands and said, "Young Master Wen, I'll take it back. This is my phone number. It's on 24/7. If you need anything, you can call me at any time."
"Okay, thank you." Zhou Wen took the note and looked at the number on it. He saw the word "Ah Sheng" written behind the number. It was likely the adjutant's name.
But no matter how you looked at it, this name seemed like a pet name or a nickname, not a real name.
As though sensing Zhou Wen's puzzlement, Ah Sheng said, "I was picked up by the Overseer from a dimensional zone. Before that, my brain was severely injured and I lost all my memories. The Overseer hoped that I could be reborn, so he gave me the word 'Sheng' as my name. I also followed the Overseer's surname An. Young Master Wen, you can just call me Ah Sheng."
"Alright, thank you, Ah Sheng. Help me take it back." Zhou Wen put away the note and sent Ah Sheng off before heading for Dragon Gate Grotto.
Ah Sheng returned to the An family residence with the items, but he didn't bring them to Ouyang Lan. Instead, he came to An Tianzuo.
"Why did you bring something back?" An Tianzuo frowned as he looked at the box.
"Young Master Wen got me to bring it back," Ah Sheng said.
"Did you say that my mother gave it to him?" An Tianzuo asked.
"Yes, Young Master Wen said thank you, Madam. He appreciates your kindness, but he doesn't want the items," Ah Sheng answered truthfully.
"Then put it away," An Tianzuo said after some thought.
"Overseer, I think Young Master Wen should have guessed that this wasn't given to him by Madam," Ah Sheng added.
"Why do you say so?" An Tianzuo asked Ah Sheng with interest.
"It's just a feeling. There's no basis," Ah Sheng said.
"You're not a woman, why are you talking about feelings?" An Tianzuo paused for a moment before saying, "This Zhou Wen has some backbone. However, this world doesn't rely on backbone alone. If he wishes to cultivate the Sun Strafe Art again, it's unknown how long it will take for him to advance to the Legendary stage without sufficient Primordial Energy Crystals. We can't keep Xiaojing waiting, right?"
"Overseer, there's something I don't know if I should say," Ah Sheng said hesitantly.
"Don't give me that. Haven't you said enough?" An Tianzuo snorted coldly.
Ah Sheng said, "Miss Jing's health isn't good. It's for her own good that Madam doesn't want her to strive for a special physique. Why must she compete with Young Master Wen?"
An Tianzuo said indifferently, "I know Xiaojing's personality very well. She doesn't care if she doesn't have the spot, but she wants to prove to Mom that Zhou Wen isn't as outstanding as Grandfather says, much less more outstanding than her."
Zhou Wen looked at the map navigation and headed straight for Dragon Gate Grotto.
As Dragon Gate Grotto was just too big, Sunset College only occupied a portion of it. Most of the area was outside the college.
When Zhou Wen arrived at Dragon Gate Grotto, he discovered a serious problem.
Places like Ancient Imperial City, Underground Buddha City, and Tiger Cage Pass had the tiny palm symbol engraved in obvious places. Zhou Wen saw the symbol at a glance and successfully scanned and downloaded the dungeon.
However, Dragon Gate Grotto spanned a kilometer. There were countless stone monuments and stone carvings here, but there was no entrance similar to a city gate. There was no obvious place to see the tiny palm symbol.
There were many caves that could enter Dragon Gate Grotto. The dimensional zones formed inside were vast and boundless. The Lotus Flower Cave that Zhou Wen wanted to go to was only one of them.
Without seeing the tiny palm symbol, Zhou Wen could only walk along the river and carefully observe the Buddha statues and stone carvings. He hoped to find the tiny palm symbol and download the dungeon into his mysterious phone.
Dragon Gate Grotto had a total of about 100,000 Buddha statues. The tallest one reached nearly twenty meters. There were more than fifty grottos and thousands of stone monuments. After experiencing the dimensional storms, a large number of dimensional creatures appeared in every grotto.
As Zhou Wen walked, his progress was extremely slow. He didn't see the tiny palm symbol.
"Zhou Wen?" Zhou Wen was searching for the tiny palm symbol along the river when he suddenly heard someone call his name.
Zhou Wen turned his head and realized that the person calling him was the girl who lived next door, Wang Lu.
"Zhou Wen, are you here to cultivate in Dragon Gate Grotto too?" Wang Lu asked with a smile.
"I'm just here to take a look. I don't plan on entering," Zhou Wen said.
"Since you're here, it'll be a pity if you don't enter. I heard that there have been dragon roars echoing in Old Dragon Cave recently. There's also treasure light that appears at night. It's very strange. Why don't you join me?" Wang Lu invited.
"The more strange a place is, the more dangerous it is. It's best not to go," Zhou Wen said as he continued walking forward.
Wang Lu stuck out her tongue and walked in the direction of Old Dragon Cave.
Dragon Gate Grotto was just too big and there were too many carvings. It was clearly not easy to find the tiny palm symbol. Zhou Wen was very patient, but he failed to find the tiny palm symbol after looking inch by inch.
Could it be that not all dimensional zones can be downloaded as dungeons? Zhou Wen had some doubts, but he continued looking.
The area outside Dragon Gate Grotto was rather popular. Many students from Sunset College came here to cultivate and hunt dimensional creatures.
There were also some people from Luoyang who weren't students who entered the grotto from the north. Zhou Wen also saw many people setting up stalls beside the grotto, selling dimensional crystals and Companion Eggs that they had obtained from the grotto.
