"Wait!"
Just as Lin Hao was about to leave, the woman in the qipao called out.
"Is there something else?" Lin Hao turned to look at the qipao woman, a hint of a frown on his face.
"No... nothing," the qipao woman said, startled, waving her hands quickly.
But at that moment, Master Ma, who had nearly wet himself from fear, rushed to Lin Hao's side and performed a kowtow. "Celestial Master, this old man was blind and foolish. I beg Celestial Master not to blame me!"
"Celestial Master, I have a humble request. I beg Celestial Master to grant it."
Lin Hao looked at Master Ma, who had suddenly knelt down, and waved his hand. "Get up. I am not any Celestial Master."
"Celestial Master, even if you are not a Celestial Master, you are better than one."
Master Ma did not get up, but instead kowtowed three times to Lin Hao. "Celestial Master, I beg Celestial Master to take me as a disciple."
"Celestial Master, I beg you to take me as a disciple."
"What on earth?"
Lin Hao looked at Master Ma, who was kneeling on the ground with an incredibly devout expression, and was completely dumbfounded.
Take him as a disciple?
Was he joking? Take him as a disciple?
Lin Hao shook his head and quickly looked at Master Ma on the ground. "You should get up first. I don't take disciples."
"Celestial Master!"
"I am not any Celestial Master. You've misunderstood."
"Get up first."
Lin Hao felt a headache coming on as he looked at Master Ma kneeling on the ground.
Before he had used his lightning techniques, Lin Hao had simply wanted to show Master Ma, so he would know his place and not cause any more trouble.
But Lin Hao hadn't expected.
That his mere attempt to show off would result in this outcome.
"What is your name?" Lin Hao asked, his head aching, seeing that Master Ma hadn't gotten up for a long time.
"I... my name is Ma Baoyuan."
"Celestial Master, my name is Ma Baoyuan."
"Alright, I understand. Get up first," Lin Hao said, helping Master Ma up from his kneeling position. He then looked at him and said, "If there is an opportunity in the future, I will guide you."
"Alright, it's getting late. I should be going."
"Wait!"
Seeing Lin Hao about to leave, the qipao woman looked at him and said, "You haven't asked my name yet."
Lin Hao was stunned for a moment, then felt speechless.
"What's your name, and why should I care?"
Despite his speechlessness, to leave quickly, Lin Hao patiently looked at the qipao woman and asked, "Then what is your name?"
"My name is Di Wu Yin Se," the qipao woman said quickly, looking at Lin Hao.
"Di Wu Yin Se?"
Lin Hao was first stunned, then looked at the qipao woman, who was stunningly beautiful, and frowned.
"A woman from the Di Wu family?"
Lin Hao shook his head, thinking he was overthinking things.
The Di Wu family's influence shouldn't extend to Modu.
"Alright, I know," Lin Hao said casually to the qipao woman who called herself Di Wu Yin Se, then turned and walked towards the door.
This time, Lin Hao finally walked out of the dizzying office.
He was followed closely by Xiao Hei, Han Chen, and Song Ming.
Han Chen and Song Ming still felt a bit dazed until they came out.
It wasn't until they got out of the elevator and onto the street that they breathed in the fresh air outside. Han Chen and Song Ming finally came to their senses.
Upon regaining their clarity, they looked at Lin Hao beside them as if he were a deity.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Aren't you going home?" Lin Hao asked Han Chen and Song Ming, feeling a bit speechless.
Han Chen was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lin Hao with emotion. "Little brother, if you weren't speaking just now exactly as you always do, I would have suspected you were an immortal descended from heaven."
"Me too. At that moment, I was almost scared out of my wits," Song Ming quickly agreed.
"Alright, enough of this useless talk. Are you going home or not? If not, we're leaving," Lin Hao said, preparing to get into the car.
"Little brother, wait." Han Chen was startled and quickly grabbed Lin Hao. "Little brother, don't rush off. We were planning to have dinner with you."
"And..."
"And we have something we'd like to ask your help with."
"If you have something to say, say it. Forget about dinner; I don't have that much time," Lin Hao waved his hand.
"Don't say that. We've finally come out. Don't worry, we won't arrange any messy programs. We just want to have dinner."
"Yes, little brother. Give us a chance to treat you to a meal," Song Ming also looked at Lin Hao and said, "You've helped us so much. If we don't even treat you to a meal, it would be too improper."
"Stop, let's go."
Lin Hao quickly interrupted Han Chen and Song Ming, afraid they would spout more nonsense.
However.
At this moment.
Just as Lin Hao was about to get into the car, intending to go to dinner with Han Chen and Song Ming.
A voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Wait!"
Lin Hao was startled by this sudden voice.
Just by the sound of the voice, Lin Hao knew who it was.
He turned his head, and indeed, it was Tang Ziyuan.
"Where have you been?" Tang Ziyuan asked Lin Hao, her face full of displeasure.
"Nowhere," Lin Hao replied instinctively, looking at Tang Ziyuan.
But as soon as he answered, Lin Hao felt something was wrong.
"Hey, do I need you to ask where I've been? What does it have to do with you?" Lin Hao asked Tang Ziyuan, looking inexplicably confused.
"You!" Tang Ziyuan looked at Lin Hao, her face full of anger. "Do you know I've been looking for you for ages!?"
"No."
"You!"
"Stop, why are you looking for me?" Lin Hao waved his hand, seeing Tang Ziyuan about to make a move.
"Can't I look for you if there's nothing?" Tang Ziyuan asked Lin Hao, her voice full of anger.
"Why are you looking for me if there's nothing?" Lin Hao asked Tang Ziyuan, feeling utterly exasperated.
"Whether you have something or not, if there's nothing, I'm leaving."
"I'm really leaving."
Seeing Tang Ziyuan not speaking, Lin Hao turned to get into the car.
However, as soon as he got into the car, Tang Ziyuan followed him.
"What are you doing?" Lin Hao was startled and asked Tang Ziyuan suspiciously.
"Whatever you do, I'll do," Tang Ziyuan sat down, then slammed the car door shut, saying coldly.
Lin Hao looked at Tang Ziyuan, feeling completely bewildered.
He wanted to get out of the car, but then he thought that in Tang Ziyuan's current state, even if he got out, she would definitely follow him.
Since that was the case, he would just let her be.
Whatever she wanted to do.
Lin Hao believed that as long as he ignored her.
Tang Ziyuan would probably get out and leave soon.
With these thoughts, Lin Hao directly told Xiao Hei to drive.
Xiao Hei drove, smiling at Lin Hao in the back seat, his mouth too wide to close.
