Let's reschedule, I have a livestream tonight.
Xia Lin also politely declined Zhou Gangyi's invitation.
The main issue was that going out late at night wouldn't involve shopping, and she didn't know how to sing. It was more enjoyable to stay home and play games.
Alright.
Zhou Gangyi nodded in agreement, not having any objections.
After all, it was only the first day, and it was a bit presumptuous. Once they were more familiar with each other, it would be fine.
After dinner, Long Aotian took Zhou Gangyi away.
Long Aotian had many things to attend to and no time to stay at the villa. He wished he could stay by Xia Feng's side all day, listening to his teachings.
However, national affairs were paramount, and personal matters were secondary.
"Master, how powerful is our Grandmaster?" Zhou Gangyi asked his question in the car.
"We are mortals, Master is a god, the only god."
Long Aotian didn't know how to answer. In short, he was awesome. He could only describe him as a god.
Hiss…
Even though Zhou Gangyi had prepared himself mentally, he was still shocked.
Someone called a god by an arrogant man was indeed a god.
In Long Aotian's heart, Xia Feng was God, an omnipotent God.
He could directly fly through the air; what else could he be if not a god?
As for his strength, how would he know? He was too weak to be qualified to know Xia Feng's strength.
Long Aotian's words kept echoing in Zhou Gangyi's mind. He felt that his awesome life was about to begin.
"You heard what Master said. Master said your achievements will be greater than mine. When your Grandmaster guides you, don't be lazy," Long Aotian reminded Zhou Gangyi, who was still in shock.
"Master, don't worry, I understand," Zhou Gangyi replied.
Afterward, Long Aotian sent Zhou Gangyi back to the opulent hotel and then took a military aircraft back to the capital.
The first thing Zhou Gangyi did after getting out of the car was to call his father, Zhou Mu.
He felt it was necessary to report today's events to his grandfather.
"Dad, I need to contact Grandpa," Zhou Gangyi said directly.
"What is it? Tell me the same thing," Zhou Mu replied.
"It won't do to tell you. This matter must be reported to Grandpa," Zhou Gangyi said.
Zhou Mu became unhappy after hearing this and asked, "What is it? Is it personal or official?"
He knew his son's status and some of the rules, so he asked if it was personal or official.
"Personal," Zhou Gangyi replied.
"If it's personal, why all the nonsense? If you don't say, you won't be able to contact your grandfather," Zhou Mu said unhappily.
"Uh... alright, do you know someone named Xia Feng? It's about him," Zhou Gangyi asked.
"No," Zhou Mu replied truthfully.
Grandpa Zhou had not mentioned anything about Xia Feng to him, so of course, he didn't know.
"Dad, please have Grandpa contact me. It's really important."
After saying that, Zhou Gangyi rolled his eyes inwardly. What's the use of telling you?
You don't even know a significant figure like Grandmaster, which shows how little foresight you have.
"Fine." Zhou Mu hung up the phone, puzzled.
Afterward, Zhou Mu, with the intention of helping his son complete a task, didn't expect Grandpa Zhou to be so serious and say he would contact Zhou Gangyi immediately.
Grandpa Zhou and a few others lived in the quadrangle courtyard and rarely went home. It was impossible for his grandson to contact him, so he had to go through his father first.
It was similar to when Li Changhe contacted Elder Li; Elder Li had given special instructions for it to be possible.
Zhou Gangyi didn't wait long before Grandpa Zhou called.
"Grandpa," Zhou Gangyi said respectfully.
"Speak, what is it?" Elder Zhou asked directly.
Then Zhou Gangyi told Elder Zhou everything that had happened that day. After listening, Elder Zhou praised him, "This is your fortune. You must show more respect to your Grandmaster than you show to me. Remember this."
"Okay, I understand." Although Zhou Gangyi was mentally prepared, Xia Feng's status in his grandfather's heart still surprised him.
"From now on, you can contact me directly regarding matters concerning Xia Feng," Elder Zhou said again.
"Okay." Zhou Gangyi responded with a heavy "okay."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Gangyi breathed a sigh of relief and smoked three cigarettes downstairs at the hotel before turning to go up.
Upon returning to the hotel, Zhou Gangyi found Liu Liwei.
Liu Liwei looked at the returning Zhou Gangyi and asked caringly, "Gangyi, how was it?"
Long Aotian had taken him away directly today. Liu Liwei had lost the mood for entertainment all evening.
"Ah Wei, your past actions were indeed suicidal. Slapping you was too lenient. If it were me, I would have broken your legs."
Zhou Gangyi started talking about the previous incident as soon as he met Liu Liwei.
These words completely confused Liu Liwei.
Why did he come back from an outing like a changed person?
And he wanted to break his legs?
He had bragged at noon today about getting revenge for him, yet his attitude changed so quickly.
"What do you mean?"
Liu Liwei desperately wanted to know what had happened after he went out.
"Master took me to see Grandmaster today. Guess who my Grandmaster is?" Zhou Gangyi didn't say it directly but let Liu Liwei guess.
"Xia Feng?"
Liu Liwei was not stupid. Since Zhou Gangyi asked like this, Xia Feng must be his Grandmaster.
"Yes, that's right. Grandmaster is a god, and Xia Lin is Grandmaster's most beloved sister. You spoke disrespectfully to Xia Lin, and it would have been acceptable to kill you, let alone slap you. Li Changhe was still merciful. I have to give him a thumbs up."
Liu Liwei: ...
Was this the language of a human?
What did he mean by "acceptable to kill you"?
He wasn't some stray cat or dog to be killed just like that!
"Don't be unconvinced. If it weren't for the fact that you are my brother, I would want to beat you up right now."
Seeing that Liu Liwei seemed a bit unconvinced, Zhou Gangyi continued.
"Is it really that serious?" Liu Liwei was also very curious.
The question that had been bothering him all along was about to be answered by Zhou Gangyi today.
"Aren't you talking nonsense? You offended your paternal aunt, and it's not just a metaphor, but a real paternal aunt."
Master had to call Xia Lin "Auntie," so calling her "Grand Aunt" was not wrong at all.
Liu Liwei fell silent after hearing this. It was true that he had spoken disrespectfully to Xia Lin at that time, and then the nationally recognized young master had taken action.
Looking at it this way, the nationally recognized young master had helped him once?
This was truly speechless. He had been beaten and still had to thank these two for showing mercy.
"I told you today, this matter is in the past, and I've already let it go. You insisted on acting tough to get revenge for me, and you were punished this afternoon, weren't you?"
Liu Liwei then looked at Zhou Gangyi and asked.
"Heh heh... I must say, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Not only did Grandmaster not pursue my mistake, but he also praised me as a promising talent. My ascent is just around the corner, brother."
Zhou Gangyi smiled proudly when he heard Liu Liwei's question.
With a god-like man guiding him, how could he not soar?
Even a pig, after being guided by a god, would become Zhu Bajie and could take flight.
Zhou Gangyi considered himself stronger than a pig, and if he couldn't soar, he would despise himself.
He never expected to have such a great surprise upon returning to the country.
The feeling of hugging a thigh was truly wonderful.
