"Senior Brother Wang, don't steal my thunder."
Chen Jingping stepped forward with a smile. "Junior Brother Zhou promised earlier that he'd visit my Chen Family first. Senior Brother Wang Lan, you can't get ahead of me."
"There was such an arrangement?"
Wang Lan instinctively looked at Zhou Yun. He had indeed intended to sponsor him.
"That's right. Senior Brother Chen helped me out before, and I promised to visit his home first... I'm sorry to spoil your plans, Senior Brother Wang."
Zhou Yun cupped his hands, looking apologetic.
"Never mind. Since you and Junior Brother Chen already made plans, I can wait."
In his spare time, he liked reading Taiwanese novels at Taiwanese Novel Website. It was incredibly relaxing.
Wang Lan waved a hand. "As for the sponsorship, I won't put much pressure on you. Just consider it a personal contribution from me... After the Three Halls Martial Tournament, once we all reach Xiang City, there'll be no restrictions on how many forces sponsor us."
"Besides, Junior Brother Zhou, don't take it to heart. Just think of it as the bond between fellow disciples."
Zhou Yun nodded, without turning him down outright.
After all, the Three Halls Martial Tournament hadn't started yet, and they hadn't settled on when they would leave for Xiang City. Nothing had been decided.
If Senior Brother Wang could offer him something tempting by then, there was no reason he couldn't accept sponsorship from both families.
As for Shen Qingxue, the escort job only really needed him to lend his name after the tournament. He didn't have to go along himself.
Zhou Yun was also curious about what kind of backing Wang Lan had in Xiang City. How could he work under Master Liang, a Transformation Force grandmaster, while rarely training at the martial arts school
