. It must be that Song Zhe wants to lure you in!"Wang Lin heard the news, and his mind buzzed. He hadn't expected that the person he once liked the most would also be unable to resist the lure of mone...After three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes,

Wang Lin leaned back in his chair, contentedly rubbing his full belly. As expected of the Zhou family's Dragon Banquet, he had never eaten such delicious food in his entire life.

Zhou Qi stood up in a daze, "Little brother, have you finished eating I'll send you back!"

"Good"

As soon as the two left the private room, the manager came up to greet them.

"Young master, have you finished eating"

"Well, that's good. Anything else"

"Yes, just now the master sent someone to look for your distinguished guest. I said you didn't allow anyone to disturb you, he is now waiting in the next private room!"

"Oh dear! The head of the house has sent someone, why didn't you tell me!" Zhou Qi looked at the person in charge with some blame.

The person in charge was also helpless, with a wry smile on his face.

"I also want to inform, that noble one stopped him, saying since you spoke, he will wait a while."

At this moment, Zhou Qi was extremely satisfied. The face given to him was very well done, and he gave the person in charge a approving glance.

"Lead the way."

"Okay, please follow me."

Two people followed the person in charge into a private room. They saw a middle-aged man holding a teacup and sipping tea. When he saw Wang Lin enter, his eyes lit up and he stood up with a smile on his face.

"Have you finished eating"

Zhou Qi was startled when he saw the person in front of him. He hurriedly bowed and paid his respects.

"Uncle, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. You can go straight in and find us."

"It's fine, you discuss your business. I'll wait here a while. Come on, let's go see the chief."

"Yes!" Zhou Qi bowed again deeply.

"I didn't tell you, you don't need to go, the chief only wants to see this Wang Lin younger brother."

Zhou Qi's face turned pale, and he quickly smiled to cover it up.

"Yes, yes, yes, hehe."

A middle-aged man walked out of the room first, followed closely by Wang Lin. The two walked in silence, winding their way through the manor. Wang Lin was completely lost until they reached an ancient-looking building, where they finally stopped.

"Go inside, the chief is in there."

Wang Lin didn't speak. He looked up at the building, feeling that it wasn't a structure before him, but an ancient giant beast lying down, its aura pressing down on Wang Lin, making it hard for him to breathe.

He took a few deep breaths, his heart pounding with apprehension, and slowly walked towards the building's interior.

As soon as I reached the door, sounds came from inside the building.

"No need to knock, come in!"

Wang Lin was startled. Was the head of the Zhou family so powerful He knew she had arrived just by reaching the door

He pushed the door open silently and surveyed the room's layout.

It... just has a kind of lofty feeling. The air is also filled with sandalwood. After smelling it a few times, I feel much more awake.

How are you feeling

Wang Lin followed the sound and saw an old man with white hair sitting in a grand armchair, smiling at him.

Wang Lin turned around and bowed deeply. "This one, Wang Lin, greets Master Zhou."

"Hee hee, no need for ceremony, sit down." He gestured to a grand master's chair beside him.

Wang Lin didn't waste any time, walked forward and sat down, then clasped his fists.

"I wonder what Lord Zhou wants from me"

"Well then, let's get to the point. Do you know about the family retainer, little brother"

"I've heard a little about it."

"Would you be interested in becoming a guest of the Wang clan" The chieftain still smiled at Wang Lin, as if he wasn't worried that Wang Lin would refuse.

"If I do, what can I get"

Wang Lin, in order to establish himself as a straightforward but foolish person in front of Zhou Jie's chieftain, chose to be direct.

"How about five million a year" The chief asked tentatively.

Wang Lin was a little disappointed. If Zhou Qi was right, the Zhou family's guests would spend at least ten million yuan a year. Did the other party think he was young and easy to fool

He wasn't speaking, just frowning deeply, lost in thought.

Zhou's patriarch saw his silence and sighed inwardly, "Damn Zhou Qi! He must have told this man about the servant matters! NNd, elbowing outwards!"

But he didn't change his mind, instead he countered Wang Lin, "Do you know why I offered you five million"

Wang Lin shook his head and did not reply.

The chieftain didn't mind, and asked again.

"How do you feel about your own abilities If the Zhou family were to suffer a catastrophic disaster in the near future, do you think you could be of help"

Wang Lin still lowered his head in silence, only his expression changed slightly.

"I know you are an Awakened, but it's useless. As a servant, the Awakened are the threshold, and you have only just crossed it."

Wang Lin suddenly raised his head, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. When was he exposed He hadn't used any abilities at the Zhou family, and during the martial arts test, he hadn't even given it his all. He had only participated as a way to have some fun. Wait a minute, Zhou Mo!

He suddenly realized that he had only cared about the feeling of satisfaction at the time, and forgot that it was happening in public.

Seeing Wang Lin raise his head, the chief smiled slightly.

"But you don't have to worry, I've seen many Awakened individuals, but not everyone is eligible to receive Zhou family's invitation. I value your future more!"

"What about my future"

"Yes, I have a general understanding of your personality after observing you for the past two days, so you don't need to put on a facade in front of me."

Wang Lin awkwardly scratched his head. Everything about him had been seen through. He had just been thinking of using his little cleverness to fool the other person, but now he felt more and more embarrassed.

"Don't feel embarrassed. Everyone who participated in this martial test, when they entered the manor, I had people observing them. And I was specifically looking for your caution and wisdom, otherwise I wouldn't have invited you."

But can I really grow to the point where I can help the Zhou family

"Hee hee, don't be so modest. I believe in my own judgment. Maybe among the Zhou family's guests, you will be the most capable one."

"Am I that good"

"It's not that you are talented, but because you are young, you awakened earlier, so you have more time to cultivate and grow. Your growth potential is also greater."

What realm are you in now The state of refining the heart

"Well, I've only just entered the Heart Refining Realm."

"Alright, you cultivate your mind realm. Five million per year, and every time you advance a level, add another five million. How does that sound"

"What if I reach the next level this year"

"Are you so confident in yourself"

"Well, I feel like I'm progressing quite quickly."

"Haha, how about this condition If you can reach the next realm this year, the Zhou family will give you ten million directly. Plus, for every realm you enter afterwards, another ten million will be added. How about that"seems to have dissipated somewhat.Half an hour later, he found a random chair and sat down, not even bothering to put on his clothes. He crossed his legs, lit a cigarette.I don't care about Xiao Yue,...
