Chapter 221 Brothers and Sisters
"What sword?"

Grandpa Lu scratched his head. He didn't hear clearly what Zhang Yang was saying.

Seeing his confused look, Zhang Yang remembered that his grandfather was already retired and didn't understand this kind of joke.

He had to explain it another way:

"Just know that it's used to refine swords. And it's not just any sword, it's the kind that can be used as a magic weapon."

"Magic weapon? Awesome!"

Grandpa Lu almost immediately thought of the use of this thing:
"You can make a sword for Zou Tianshi, and then ask him to change your fate."

"Why change my fate?"

Zhang Yang looked at the direction of his grandfather's finger and was sure that it was pointing at him. He was somewhat confused:

"What should I change?"

"Change your marriage fate." Grandpa said confidently: "Just change you to be like Kangxi."

"Kangxi would find true love every time he went on a secret visit. The key is that every time he could make other women believe that he was their true love, and then they would follow him back to the palace without hesitation."

"Don't you want such a life?"

“…There’s really no need for that.”

Zhang Yang thought, why does this Kangxi sound so much like the Qing Dynasty version of Tong Jincheng? As long as it is not dawn, it is true love, but once the sun rises, true love automatically refreshes.

"It's up to you. This is a gift for you anyway." Grandpa Lu shrugged.

"Shen Yiyi said she doesn't want it. If you want it, just take it."

"Okay, then I'll thank Grandpa on behalf of Master Zou."

"Replacing him? Sure, sure. The young man is teachable!"

Grandpa Lu misunderstood and thought that Zhang Yang wanted to bribe the old Taoist priest to help him change his fate.

That’s good, Shen Yiyi can be saved.

As long as the granddaughter realizes that Zhang Yang is a scumbag, it should not be difficult for her to extricate herself from this relationship.

Of course Zhang Yang had no idea what his grandfather was thinking.

He was thinking about how to use this meteorite to forge a good sword for Master Zou Tianshi.

I have just tried it, and this iron meteorite is slightly magnetic.

If this could be made into a sword, and the old Taoist priest could use it to perform tricks, it would probably be a magical weapon.

……

Seeing Zhang Yang lost in thought, Grandpa Lu consciously stepped out.

It's almost time now. Shen Yiyi must have calmed down. It's time to sit down and have a good chat with her granddaughter.

When he walked out the door, Shen Yiyi had just finished the work at hand.

Grandpa Lu hurried over.

"Yiyi, can I talk to you in private?"

"No."

Shen Yiyi pouted, obviously not having forgiven her grandfather yet.

When she and Li Zi were arguing just now, grandpa actually stood on the other side. Although he was on the side of justice rather than relatives, Xiao Shen still had some opinions about grandpa.

Plus, the gift her grandfather brought her from his trip turned out to be a piece of iron, which made it even more impossible to forgive her.

But Professor Lu also has a way to cure her.

He just sighed, shook his head with a look of regret and said:

"Since you don't want to talk to me, there's nothing I can do. I can only ask your mother to communicate with you."

"This is your own choice. Don't blame grandpa for telling on you."

"???" Shen Yiyi glared at him angrily and asked, "Grandpa, how can you do this? Haven't we always been allies?"

"If you want to do that, then I will tell my mother about how you donated money to the widow of your workplace behind her back, and how you spent the subsidy from the college on buying fake antiques!"

"you……"

Grandpa Lu was speechless for a moment.

He was careless and forgot that Shen Yiyi had grabbed more of his pigtails.

But in this situation, one cannot stand firm unless he is ruthless!
"Just say it!"

Grandpa Lu said with a firm face:

"It exploded with you."

"I just don't believe that if your mother knew about our affair at the same time, she would make trouble for me first instead of taking you back home and locking you up first!"

"..."

Shen Yiyi looked at Grandpa's expression in surprise, and found that he seemed really anxious, so she quickly changed the topic and said:

"Okay, Grandpa, you win."

She didn't expect that her grandfather would be so anxious about her affairs. He would rather not raise his head in front of Ms. Lu than force her.

Of course, grandpa has to win this time.

Hearing Shen Yiyi's words, Professor Lu also breathed a sigh of relief.

This means that the granddaughter can still be saved and has not been completely bewitched by Zhang Yang and lost her mind.

Considering that Li Zi was rocking in the yard and making a lot of noise, he took Shen Yiyi out of the yard.

The two of them exchanged their views very sincerely under the big willow tree on the side of the road.

There were some things that were not convenient to say just now because Li Zi was present, so Grandpa Lu also revealed them in detail:
"Yiyi, let me make it clear in advance that grandpa doesn't look down on you. But from the perspective of a married man, Li Zi is indeed more attractive and more suitable to be a wife."

"If I were Zhang Yang's military advisor, I would also suggest that he choose someone who is a few years older than him, sensible, and caring."

"That's why I suggest you give up."

After hearing what her grandfather was thinking, Shen Yiyi's face rarely showed any smile.

She frowned and said something that seemed to be a rebuttal to Grandpa Lu, but more like a persuasion for herself:

"Senior brother is not as superficial as you, grandpa. If he really likes women, Anna would have been in his bed a long time ago."

"Anna? You mean the white girl from before, right?"

"That's right!"

Shen Yiyi nodded. In her eyes, Zhang Yang's attitude towards Anna was a guarantee of his character.

But Grandpa Lu smiled helplessly:
"Then you still don't understand Zhang Yang."

"Who is Anna? How could he fall for a woman who wants to use her beauty to control Zhang Yang?"

"But Li Zi is different."

"I can see that she simply likes Zhang Yang, or is obsessed with him. This is the same as you."

"So even if Anna is worse than you in terms of figure and looks, she is still inferior to you in front of Zhang Yang."

"Understand?"

"I...seem to understand."

"Really?" Grandpa Lu asked persistently, "Then tell me, what do you understand?"

"I think I understand how to compete with Sister Li Zi."

"puff--"

"Who told you to understand this?"

Professor Lu felt his blood boiling. Oh no! His love-brained granddaughter was going to make him develop high blood pressure.

But looking at Shen Yiyi's innocent expression, he really didn't know what he was angry about.

You can't expect a young man in his early twenties to see the world in the same way as an old man.

Grandpa Lu thought about it and simply followed Shen Yiyi's words and asked:
"Then tell me, how do we compete?"

"I think the key point now lies with you, Grandpa, and my mother." Shen Yiyi replied with a smile on her lips.

She had already done a brain analysis and suddenly felt that she had a great advantage.

"Grandpa, you just said that Sister Li Zi has an advantage over me, but that is her advantage alone. When I compare myself to her, I still have you, Grandpa." "And my mom, she has a very good relationship with my senior brother..."

"Anyway, we're three against one, and the advantage is on me."

"Grandpa, aren't you right?"

“I…” Grandpa Lu’s lips felt wrong, and he wanted to say something, but couldn’t.

He now completely understood Shen Yiyi's thoughts.

To put it bluntly, his granddaughter felt that she came here first, and even her family had a close relationship with Zhang Yang, so why should she be taken away by Li Zi?
To give an inappropriate example, it is like Xiao Shen has taken a fancy to a very expensive piece of clothing, has secretly tried it on, and feels that it fits him well.

But when she was looking for her family at the door of the store to get money to buy the clothes, she suddenly saw Li Zi walking out wearing the clothes.

Who can bear this!

The key point is that Li Zi has only paid the down payment and has not bought out the clothes completely, so Shen Yiyi still has a theoretical chance.

"Then let me help you." Grandpa Lu finally said, "Fail sooner and wake up sooner."

Although his tone was a little helpless, it was more of a doting tone towards his granddaughter.

"Okay, thank you grandpa!"

"But Grandpa, remember, don't use any insidious means." Shen Yiyi reminded: "Sister Li Zi and I have an agreement that everything must be aboveboard. People who use despicable means will never be happy in this life."

"Well, I see."

Grandpa Lu couldn't help but laugh.

It is obviously a lifelong event, but now it sounds like a child playing house. If you don’t know, you might think it is the last year of kindergarten.

Grandpa thought to himself, maybe this is the innocence of a child.

"Birds of a feather flock together", Zhang Yang, Li Zi, and Shen Yiyi are all such people.

What Grandpa Lu thought was actually correct.

Most of the people who are close to Zhang Yang are like this.

But he missed one person.

Although that person is old, he has a very young mentality. He is Master Zou Tianshi.

Half a month later, when Zhang Yang's exhibition was held as scheduled, Master Zou Tianshi also arrived in the island province at the same time.

He was greeted by the 64th Heavenly Master Zhang Daozhen.

Because Zou Tianshi himself is a Taoist priest, and Taoist priests are the most common people he sees on Mount Longhu, so in his opinion, Taoist priests must wear Taoist robes when they go out.

It's like a walking billboard.

In this way, people will know that you are a Taoist priest, and they will contact you when they need you to perform rituals.

But Zhang Daozhen refreshed Zou Tianshi's understanding of Taoists.

He actually came to pick me up wearing a floral shirt, beach pants, and slippers, and drove a black sedan.

If I didn't know, I would have thought he was some gangster boss.

"Master Zhang Guoqiang, welcome, welcome!"

Zhang Daozheng didn't know the purpose of Zou Tianshi's visit, he only knew that he came to represent Longhu Mountain for cultural exchange.

This made him very happy.

Because the other party came here and contacted him instead of the 65th Heavenly Master, it was equivalent to implicitly acknowledging his status.

So Zhang Daozheng readily contracted the hotel expenses for Zou Tianshi and arranged for him to stay in the five-star Shangri-La in the provincial capital.

However, what the 64th Heavenly Master did not know was that if he only provided accommodation but not food, it would be far from enough for Heavenly Master Zou.

Food on the island is actually very cheap, especially the fast food in the alleys, but Master Zou Tianshi doesn’t understand.

He stayed in a five-star hotel. He went to the hotel restaurant, looked at the menu, and then left silently.

I had originally planned to gain a firm foothold before contacting Zhang Yijiang, but now I have no choice but to contact him first.

The result was that, although Zou Tianshi talked about friendly exchanges, he actually stayed in the hotel invited by the 64th Tianshi, ate the feast invited by the 65th Tianshi, and was planning in his mind how to deal with these two people.

Only in this way will he have the opportunity to lead the Taoists on the entire island.

According to the strategy Zhang Yang had formulated for him, this matter could not be rushed and had to be done step by step.

First let the believers here know that a Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain is coming.

If you can’t afford to hire two generations of Heavenly Masters in the future, you can hire this Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain.

Only then can we consider replacing two people.

……

At the same time, Zhang Yang was sharing the video sent back by Master Zou from the island with General Zheng.

As expected of the province with the most open customs in China, you can see big wet girls wearing suspenders everywhere on the streets.

Zhang Yang hadn't originally intended to share it.

But Zheng Xiangqian was the guest today, attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and he also sent several flower baskets.

Although the names of the handicraft factory and cattle farm are a bit strange, I spent money after all and the thought is there.

It just so happened that he saw Zhang Yang reading the news and was forced to share it.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

President Zheng watched the video, made a strange sound, and said with regret:

"I lost money. When I had to choose between going to Japan or to the island province, I chose to look for the Sakura girl."

“I didn’t expect there would be such a big thing going on everywhere over there.”

"Who could have thought of this!" Zhang Yang agreed with General Zheng's point of view. If it was such a big thing, why didn't you tell him earlier?
If I had known earlier, I would have accompanied Master Zou to the island province.

"Hey! You two! What are you looking at? Why are you laughing so obscenely?"

Li Zi was looking for someone to clean up the waste paper after the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and she saw Zhang Yang and Zheng Xiangqian in the corner.

When President Zheng saw her coming over, he quickly explained:
"Nothing, sister-in-law, let's watch some tasteless jokes."

"What did you call me?"

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Did I call you the wrong name?"

"Yes, of course."

The smile on Li Zi's face instantly became as bright as a flower:
"Boss Zheng, don't leave in a hurry. Zhang Yang will treat you tonight. Let's get together."

"Don't worry, I came here today and I have no intention of going back."

"That's great, Zhang Yang, just stay with President Zheng."

"I understand." Zhang Yang nodded silently.

Zheng Xiangqian, who was standing next to him, winked at him and said:
"How is it? My ability to adapt to changing circumstances is second to none, right?"

"It's really good. Would you like to consider working for me?" Zhang Yang invited sincerely, "This building is all Li Zi's business. It just so happens that we are in need of a receptionist who can talk downstairs. I feel that you have the potential with your talking skills."

"Hahaha, look at you, you're anxious again."

Zheng Xiangqian smiled and patted Zhang Yang on the shoulder, saying with the tone of an experienced person:
"When a man faces a woman who likes him, he must be thick-skinned. She already likes you, so you can't let her suffer so much, right?"

"As expected of you, Mr. Zheng, you are my senior! I have learned a lot from you."

When Zhang Yang was bowing to Zheng Xiangqian, Zhu Ruyan suddenly came over and greeted him:

"Hi, Zhang Yang, would you like to talk to me?"

"Convenient, of course it's convenient." Zheng Xiangqian answered on behalf of Zhang Yang: "Sister-in-law, is the mummy you bought last time still useful?"

“If this works… woooo…”

"Oh, your mouth."

Zhang Yang helplessly covered Zheng Xiangqian's mouth and reminded him:
"This is not your sister-in-law, stop calling her that, or I won't take you with me when I do business with you in the future."

"If you understand, just blink."

Zheng Xiangqian understood and blinked wildly, his eyelashes leaving afterimages.

Zhu Ruyan looked at this scene and smiled, then said:

"This matter is really related to your mummy. If Mr. Zheng is interested, you can also listen to it."
