Seeing Zhou Jian's choice, Shen Lang was slightly surprised. He thought that a spoiled brat like Zhou Jian would finally choose the "Eighteen Styles of Capture," but unexpectedly, he chose "The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon."
Seeing the shock on Shen Lang's face, Zhou Jian explained, "My biggest wish after graduating from high school was to enroll in medical school and become a doctor. However, my family forcibly changed my major, switching my Northern Medical University application to Northern Finance University."
"So that's how it is..."
Shen Lang said, "There is only one way to succeed in life, and that is to live life according to your own wishes. If you can't even choose your own path, no wonder you are so depressed and live without joy."
"Finish reading this book, and then come find me in Nanling. I will not only cure your illness but also teach you deeper medical skills. It is not impossible to become a renowned doctor."
"Alright—"
Hearing this, Zhou Jian nodded, then put away "The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon" and said to Shen Lang, "You have shown me great kindness. From today on, you are my master."
With that, Zhou Jian stood up, knelt before Shen Lang, and kowtowed three times respectfully.
After kowtowing, Zhou Jian took out a black bank card and a business card from his pocket and handed them to Shen Lang, saying, "Master, I don't know why you are in Shuzhong. As for this black bank card, I don't know how much money it has because it can be overdrawn indefinitely. Consider it a gift from your disciple for becoming my master."
"And this business card has not only my phone number but also my address. If you encounter trouble, find me. In the north, the names Qi Tuo Jiang and Kong Wu Dao are useful, but in the south, no name is as useful as Zhou Jian."
Zhou Jian disliked his current situation but had to admit that his family truly dominated the entire south. No matter what industry, his family had infiltrated it, wielding immense influence.
"Good, thank you then."
Shen Lang did not stand on ceremony, put away the bank card and business card, and said to Zhou Jian, "My name is Shen Lang. Remember my number. If you encounter danger in the future, you can call me. I promise to save you immediately."
Zhou Jian did not think he would encounter danger, but he always felt an intangible sense of awe towards Shen Lang.
Zhou Jian had always felt that although Shen Lang was the same age as him, he was by no means someone he could compare with.
Shen Lang was strong, stronger than anyone Zhou Jian had ever met.
He had met Qi Tuo Jiang, he had met Kong Wu Dao, and even the unreveploring young master of the Ye family, but compared to Shen Lang, Zhou Jian felt they were somewhat inferior.
Therefore, Zhou Jian took out his phone, saved Shen Lang's number, and even added him on WeChat.
The farce on the plane finally ended with Zhou Jian's apology and acceptance of Shen Lang as his master.
Qi Si Yuan, the other flight attendants, and passengers were all taken aback by the outcome. While shocked, they dared not say anything, and no one took out their phones to record the incident and post it online.
This was because the person involved was Zhou Jian. His family's wealth accounted for three-tenths of the south's wealth, and his father was the richest man in the south and the leader of the southern rich elite.
If they offended Zhou Jian, these people would have a very difficult time in the future, facing countless obstacles.
No one was foolish enough to record and post such an event. However, they could still brag to their friends in private, as that was not illegal.
Qi Si Yuan looked at Shen Lang, always feeling that this scoundrel was somewhat like the bastard her third brother described, but she couldn't be sure for a moment.
Qi Si Yuan's third brother was none other than Qi Pi Jiang.
On the day of Qi Pi Jiang's wedding to An Lan, he had a conflict with Shen Lang and Ye Shi Shi. As a result, Qi Pi Jiang was beaten severely by Shen Lang and then threatened by Ye Shi Shi, forcing him to abandon his bride and flee back to Longdu in disgrace.
Upon his return to Longdu, news of Qi Pi Jiang's mishap spread like wildfire, becoming a scandal for the Qi family. Qi Pi Jiang himself dreamed of tearing Shen Lang to pieces and told everyone he met how hateful and deserving of death Shen Lang was.
Qi Si Yuan was a few months younger than Qi Pi Jiang, so she was not his biological sister but his cousin.
However, this cousin had a very good relationship with Qi Pi Jiang. Therefore, upon hearing that her cousin had suffered such great humiliation, she was eager to tear the offender to pieces to avenge her third brother.
Qi Si Yuan was unsure if Shen Lang was the person her third brother had described. Thus, while Shen Lang wasn't paying attention, she discreetly took out her phone, took a picture of Shen Lang's face, and sent it to Qi Pi Jiang, who was far away in Longdu, via WeChat.
"Si Yuan, where are you? How did you meet this kid?"
Less than two seconds after Qi Si Yuan sent her message, Qi Pi Jiang replied, sounding extremely shocked.
"Third brother, is this kid the one you told me about?"
Seeing Qi Pi Jiang's reply, Qi Si Yuan typed out a line and asked.
"Yes, it's this bastard. His name is Shen Lang."
Although Qi Pi Jiang was typing, his face in front of the screen was contorted and filled with madness as he replied, "This kid ruined my wedding, made me a laughingstock. I would recognize him even if he turned to ash. But I'm very curious, why is he with you?"
"Third brother, I'm on a flight. This kid was on a flight from Nanling to Shuzhong. I heard him say his name was Shen Lang, and he looked very much like the person you described. So I asked if it was him, and it turns out it really is this bastard."
"Third brother, he ruined your wedding and caused you and the Qi family such great embarrassment. We must get revenge for this."
Qi Si Yuan said, "I have some connections in Shuzhong. Should I have them deal with this kid in Shuzhong?"
"If he goes to Shuzhong, we won't have to do anything ourselves, because someone wants him dead even more than we do."
Qi Pi Jiang let out a sinister smile and said, "He caused the Northern Gun King, who was being harbored by the Tang Sect, to be executed, along with Tang Zi Xuan of the Tang Sect. He also crippled another son of Tang Jiu Tian. He has a deep-seated hatred with the Tang Sect. If he goes to Shuzhong, how could the Tang Sect let him go?"
"Third brother, you mean to use the Tang Sect's blade to kill this kid?"
Qi Si Yuan said, her face filled with shock.
"Sometimes, you don't have to personally kill your enemies. Letting others kill them is just as effective."
Qi Pi Jiang chuckled, "Although I wish I could tear this kid to pieces, I don't have an obsession with killing him personally. Letting someone else kill him is also fine."
"Si Yuan, I remember Tang Jiu Tian's daughter, Tang Wan Er, is your good friend, right?"
Qi Pi Jiang chuckled, "Tell Tang Wan Er that their Tang Sect's great enemy has arrived in Shuzhong."
