"No, you have to pay for this meal today. You are richer than me." Su Wan said angrily.
I thought that Cao Ning was just a poor boy searching for money, but who would have thought that there were Lin and Xia families behind him.
He is definitely the first person besides the Dragon King to be able to feed both big families at the same time.
"What are you doing, what are you doing, beating up the local tyrants?"
When it came to who paid the bill, Cao Ning immediately started shouting with dissatisfaction as if he was resurrected with full health.
"If they are rich, then they are rich. I am a clean slate and I am so poor that I am almost wearing my pants. If you want it, I will take it off and sell it to you right now."
Cao Ning took the menu back unceremoniously, and at this time the shop owner also brought the third order.
"Oysters, leeks, lamb kidneys, buddy, just take it easy!"
After serving the food, the shop owner patted Cao Ning on the shoulder, with a mixture of envy and sympathy in his eyes.
Su Wan couldn't help but frown when she saw these things in front of her.
"What are these? Why do I seem to have a low appetite?"
Cao Ning grabbed a bunch of lamb kidneys and ate them: "You don't understand, this is the essence of barbecue."
"Essence? I still don't understand!"
Su Wan shook her head dully. At this time, Chen Zitong quietly whispered into her ear, which made the former blush.
"Ah...it turns out to be like this, eh...how can you be such a scumbag? It turns out you know everything."
"You're hurting me again, aren't you? Look, I won't give you a skewer."
Seeing Su Wan's disgusted expression, Cao Ning didn't bother to explain to her and just kept eating.
Just at this moment, a hot news item was suddenly inserted on the TV screen that the barbecue stall owner used to liven up the atmosphere.
When Su Wan saw the person appearing on the screen, she immediately jumped up with excitement.
"Look, look, that's my master!" Su Wan danced excitedly.
Cao Ning turned his head and looked at the big screen.
The background of the news is the scene of a press conference. The old disciple Yun Xuzi is wearing a purple robe and standing majestically on the C position of the stage.
Facing interviews with dozens of news media, Yun Xuzi responded fluently.
"Master Tianshi, what is your original intention for this large-scale acquisition of Taoist sects? As far as I know, the thirty-six Taoist sects you purchased this time cost at least three billion, right?"
Facing the beautiful reporter's questions, Yun Xuzi answered very calmly.
"First of all, I want to correct this female lay practitioner's question. This acquisition cost a total of 4.6 billion. Of course, it's all a small amount of money that's not worth mentioning."
The first words Yun Xuzi spoke made the media reporters below stunned.
This was their first time seeing such a high-profile scene in Versailles.
"Actually, the purpose of my coming out this time is to revitalize the Taoist heritage. Let's look at all living beings in the world, how many are Buddhist believers, and how many Taoist sects are there?"
Yun Xuzi took a deep breath and said loudly: "It can be said that everyone present is responsible for the decline of my local Taoist sect. Of course, there are too many disputes about these issues, so we will not discuss them today."
"Now, since Mr. Yun holds the position of headmaster of Longhu Mountain, he should take on the important task of revitalizing the Taoist sect. A small amount of money is not worth mentioning, so it will be spent."
"But what I hope is that the Taoist sect will return to its orthodoxy and never decline in our hands. Then how can we face our ancestors a hundred years later?"
Yun Xuzi’s words shocked the scene!
Although he has been claiming in a high-profile manner that he is not short of money, he cannot do anything without money.
I just wish everyone present could donate some money for support.
"But as far as I know, more than half of the thirty-six branches you acquired have rumors of catching ghosts and subjugating demons. So, can I understand that there are really ghosts in this world?"
"This female lay practitioner has done a lot of homework. She even knows the rumors."
Yun Xuzi smiled and explained: "Ghosts are born from the heart. I can say it responsibly, there are no ghosts in this world."
"The reason why there are such rumors about our inheritance is probably the same as posting couplets and setting off firecrackers during the New Year. It's just an exaggerated cultural inheritance."
Listening to Yun Xuzi's explanation of supernatural things on the screen, Su Wan couldn't help but purse her lips.
"That's not what Master told me when he was on the mountain. He, he, he, why doesn't he admit it now?"
"Silly boy, you know too much!"
Cao Ning stuffed the remaining half of the lamb kidney into Su Wan's mouth.
Su Wan subconsciously chewed two mouthfuls, and the next second her expression suddenly changed, and she immediately bent over and vomited violently.
"Ugh~ What? This is... how do you eat such unpleasant food?"
Su Wan stared at Cao Ning with disdain, but the latter still ate with gusto.
"This old man has a really strong desire to survive. He knows what to say and what not to say."
Cao Ning smiled lightly, and then suddenly became worried: "But... you can just accept disciples. Why are you making such a big fuss? It really doesn't give me any peace of mind."
Listening to Cao Ning muttering there, Su Wan next to her was confused.
Although she also felt that Yun Xuzi shouldn't make such a big fuss, she didn't understand what Cao Ning meant by "uneasy".
"Hey, Cao Zhaman, what do you mean by what you just said? Could it be that my master is in trouble?" Su Wan asked curiously.
"It's more than just trouble, it's just asking for death!"
"Looking for death? Just brag. It's not that serious. I don't believe that accepting a few disciples can lead to death."
"Don't believe it yet!"
Cao Ning picked his teeth with a bamboo stick, and then explained: "By recruiting troops so openly, doesn't it tell the evil spirits all over the world that the Taoist sect is about to rise? Do you think those guys with red eyes will take the initiative to come to the door to eliminate hidden dangers?
"
"Ah...is it that serious?"
Su Wan was a little panicked when she heard this.
Although Cao Ning said it very casually, after thinking about it carefully, it really makes sense.
In the past, the Taoist sect was falling apart, and it was impossible to systematically eliminate demons.
But now, if all Taoist sects unite to fight against the enemy, can the evil spirits in this world still survive?
"No, I have to give my master a quick warning!"
Thinking of this, Su Wan, who didn't dare to stay for a long time, immediately ran to the side to make a phone call.
When Chen Zitong here saw this scene, he looked at Cao Ning with a little worry.
"Cao Ning, is the situation really as bad as you said?" Chen Zitong asked worriedly.
Cao Ning nodded: "Yes, yes, but it's not that serious!"
Cao Ning explained while eating: "Although Longhu Mountain has declined, it is still the orthodoxy of the Taoist sect hundreds of years ago. How can it not have any foundation?"
"If ordinary characters go, they are looking for death. The number of more powerful ones will not be much greater, and they won't take advantage if they go, so don't worry too much."
"Then what you just said was so exaggerated that it almost made Xiaowan cry!" Chen Zitong said angrily.
