Ling Mingzi smiled awkwardly, knowing that after waiting for countless years, the person he had been anticipating had finally arrived, yet it turned out to be someone seemingly more formidable than himself. His plan to take on a disciple was now out of the question.
"I have a request," Ling Mingzi said, fixing his gaze on Jiang Chen with a hint of pleading in his eyes.
"The information you just shared is quite valuable to me. Feel free to ask whatever you need," Jiang Chen replied with a smile.
...
Jiang Chen withdrew his consciousness from the painting, a wry smile still lingering on his lips. Ling Mingzi's request wasn't unreasonable; he wanted Jiang Chen to help him find a suitable successor for his teachings. If possible, he hoped that after Jiang Chen opened the door to the secret realm beyond the stars, he could accompany him to explore it.
Naturally, Jiang Chen agreed to these requests.
"Mr. Jiang, what was in the Taoist temple depicted in that painting?" Zeng Xianyi asked curiously as Jiang Chen put away the image of the secluded temple.
"It housed the soul of a Taoist named Ling Mingzi. He is looking for someone suitable to inherit his teachings. Zeng Lao, do you have anyone in mind?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
Zeng Xianyi had no doubts about Jiang Chen's words.
"Mr. Jiang, may I ask how Ling Mingzi's abilities compare to yours?"
"Of course, he cannot be compared to me. However, on Earth, he is considered one of the best," Jiang Chen replied candidly.
"Uh, then I don't have anyone suitable to recommend," Zeng Xianyi said.
He had initially planned to suggest one of his juniors but reconsidered upon learning that Ling Mingzi was not as powerful as Jiang Chen; it seemed wiser to have his junior learn directly from Jiang Chen instead.
Jiang Chen subtly shook his head; Zeng Xianyi had quite a few thoughts running through his mind.
"Zeng Lao, there's something you might not understand. Ling Mingzi is seeking disciples to pass on his entire legacy. To be honest, this is a tremendous opportunity for anyone on Earth. I've told you about this good fortune; if you don't have anyone in mind, then it will go to someone else," Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"I... I thought about it and indeed have several suitable candidates. Mr. Jiang, how about you meet them in Beijing?" Zeng Xianyi quickly suggested, his expression serious.
"Let's wait until after the Lantern Festival. However, whether they are suitable or not isn't up to me; it's up to Ling Mingzi. I'm just here to help him find some candidates; the final decision rests with him," Jiang Chen explained.
"I understand," Zeng Xianyi nodded.
The group arrived at a restaurant as the sun set and the city lit up with neon lights. In a private room at the restaurant, Zeng Xianyi invited Jiang Chen to sit at the head of the table while he took a seat beside him.
The elderly lady Zhou Duanmei and Zhou Lianhua were already aware of Zeng Xianyi's status as a general; seeing such an esteemed figure treating Jiang Chen with such respect made it clear that Jiang Chen's strength had reached an unimaginable level.
The meal was enjoyable; both Jiang Chen and Zeng Xianyi shared a bottle of liquor before parting ways, agreeing to meet again in Beijing after the Lantern Festival.
Night fell over the Zhou family villa. The matriarch returned home and expressed her thoughts about Zhou Rongli. Upon hearing that her son was to become the head of the family, Zhou Pingming was naturally elated.
As for Zhou Pingyong, his face turned ashen, and he remained silent. He knew he had lost, utterly and completely, with no chance of a comeback.
“ Zhou Pingyong, don’t worry. I’ve already spoken to Zhou Rong Li; she agreed to talk to Jiang Chen and assured me that he won’t do anything to you. From now on, you should avoid provoking Zhou Rong Li,” the matriarch said.
