"Brother Yang is indeed exceptionally talented; I am truly impressed!"
"I've decided to Overlord Yang. From now on, I will study hard, thoroughly understand all versions of the 'Five Years of College Entrance Examination and Three Years of Simulation' textbooks, and strive to become Liang Baba!" Liang Kai looked down on everyone, seemingly having read extensively and embarked on a broad road of wisdom and intelligence.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd exclaimed, "Big Sister!"
Everyone turned around in unison, and there stood the leader of the group, walking gracefully towards them, smiling as she said, "I've heard that Young Master Yang has solved countless riddles posed by me. Now that I see it for myself, Young Master Yang is indeed exceptionally Literary Talent Qi."
Yang Zhen looked at the big sister who was being talked about throughout Xiushan City and felt somewhat disappointed.
I had always imagined that women who could be called "Big Sister" were all bold and valiant, quick-witted and decisive. But I was surprised to find her to be such a delicate person. She waved her hand and said, "This is nothing! Once I unleash my Literary Talent Qi, I can make this sky so dark you can't see anything!"
"Oh?" The leader smiled gently and said, "What do you mean by that, young master?"
Yang Zhen took a deep breath and said, "Have you not heard of the saying 'though inspiration flows like a spring,' I have a wealth of talent, yet no place to display it. I am ashamed, truly ashamed!"
Thoughts flow like a spring?
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned. Liang Kai stared blankly at Yang Zhen, then his eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light. "Brother Yang is indeed a great talent! A casual remark can be so exciting, vivid, and descriptive, a hundred times better than those effeminate men who nitpick and whine without any real cause!"
Everyone was taken aback, but upon reflection, it was indeed true. What could better describe someone's overflowing talent, ready to be unleashed, just waiting for an opportunity to showcase it, than a gushing spring?
Not to mention Liang Kai and the others, even the eldest sister almost slapped her thigh in approval. If it weren't for the need to maintain a good image in front of others, she would have already dragged Yang Zhen to drink and chat.
Pretending to be a lady is so painful!
However, she had to keep up the act, since the master didn't like feisty women. The leader covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "Young Master Yang is indeed extraordinary. Is your trip to the East Sea coast for Overseas Trial?"
"Indeed, I wonder if I would have the honor of traveling with you, elder sister?" Yang Zhen cupped his hands in greeting, almost believing himself to be a well-read and talented scholar.
Everyone's gaze fell on the leader's face. Countless people in the entire Xiushan City wanted to ride on the leader's flying boat to the East Sea coast.
Along the way, only the eldest sister's Blade Flying Boat was the safest. Not only could it easily pass through the Abyssal Turbulence, but it also terrified some air pirates. What was originally a terrifying journey was almost no different from sightseeing.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the leader smiled gently and nodded, saying, "Since you have answered my question, you are naturally welcome to board the Blade. I believe you will also be interested in having a long talk with me."
"What?" Liang Kai was stunned, looking at Yang Zhen with envy.
The others gasped, looking at Yang Zhen with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
"Sir, you actually came to Xiushan City with the boss this time too?"
"This... Young Master Yang is incredibly fortunate to have the honor of sharing a flying boat with you, sir."
"What do you mean by great fortune? That's something Young Master Yang earned through his own abilities. Who else has such great fortune to gain the Big Sister's approval, let alone you, sir?"
Yang Zhen looked at the boss blankly. "Who is 'sir'?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was completely petrified, staring blankly at Yang Zhen, speechless for a long time.
"You... Young Master, you've never heard of this gentleman's name?" The leader's eyes widened, then she quickly regained her composure and asked in confusion, "Then why has Young Master Yang come to answer the questions?"
Yang Zhen was even more puzzled than the eldest sister. She had naturally heard of "the gentleman" and was familiar with "comrade," but who knew who "the gentleman" was?
Qian Lai whispered in Yang Zhen's ear, "Master Dao Entry through literature, pioneering the way of using Writing as a Vehicle for the Dao. Even those blessed lands overseas invite Master to give lectures every year. His disciples are countless. Some say that if you meet ten people overseas, one of them will be Master's disciple."
Yang Zhen's eyes widened in surprise. "So strong?"
Qian Lai nodded.
Yang Zhen shook his head and said, "That's interesting. ' Writing as a Vehicle for the Dao ' seems quite common in my hometown. If you throw a brick and hit ten people, eight of them will be able to compose eloquent essays."
A group of people stared at Yang Zhen in shock, and all took a step back.
Qian Lai's expression changed drastically, and he almost covered Yang Zhen's mouth. "Shh, Brother Yang, be quiet. You absolutely cannot offend the master here, otherwise you will find it almost impossible to move an inch overseas, and countless people will cause you trouble."
Yang Zhen pursed her lips. "I'm afraid of everything, but the thing I'm least afraid of is trouble."
Qian Lai opened his mouth, wanting to speak but unable to say anything.
A strange light flickered in the leader's eyes, and Yang Zhen suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
The next moment, under everyone's watchful eyes, the gang leader suddenly grabbed Yang Zhen's hand and pulled Yang Zhen away, shouting, "Quick, come with me! I can't wait any longer!"
Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene before them, some even clutching their chests as if struggling to breathe.
"This... this... Big Sister said she... can't wait?" Liang Kai stammered, his words slurred with surprise, looking at Yang Zhen's retreating figure with envy. "Otherwise, would she be so amazed by Brother Yang's talent that she'd offer herself to him?"
"My goodness, our leader has never been so close to a man before. Young Master Yang is truly a role model for us all."
"Where do you think the boss is taking Yang Zhen?"
"Where else could it be? Of course, it's the eldest sister's boudoir. Oh no, I... I feel like my love has been ruthlessly crushed by Young Master Yang."
Yang Zhen looked at the eldest sister with a puzzled expression. What happened to her supposed virtuous and gentle nature?
"This... girl, we've only just met, isn't this... inappropriate?"
Without turning her head, the eldest sister said, "What's wrong with it? The master usually adores talented young men, and I can't wait to see his expression when he sees you."
Yang Zhen felt like a million alpacas were stampeding through his head, almost making him groan. Completely bewildered, he said, "No... not to the girl's boudoir?"
The eldest sister stumbled, turned around and stared at Yang Zhen in disbelief, her chest heaving. " Xiao Huan! Where's my big knife?!"
A sharp, piercing shout echoed through the street, startling pedestrians who jumped back in surprise. Upon seeing it was the leader, they all tensed up, quickly lowering their eyes and pretending it was none of their business.
Xiao Huan laboriously carried the large knife over, but the leader lifted it up in one go. The knife, which looked heavier than a person, felt as weightless as a tree branch in her hands.
Yang Zhen was startled and hurriedly said, "It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! It's all those bastards' fault for spreading rumors. I am a gentleman, known as the 'Yang Gentleman Who Remains Unmoved Even with a Woman in His Arms,' how could I think of such a despicable thing? Believe me, it's all a misunderstanding."
"Is it really a misunderstanding?" The boss scrutinized Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen said in a serious tone, "Miss, we have no grudges against each other, how can you tarnish my reputation for no reason? Please forgive me for not keeping you company!"
