Chapter 209: Airing the Bird Under the Moon and the Naked Streaker
Some people may seem to be alive, but in reality, they have been dead for a while.
That's right, I'm talking about Zhang Chulan.
The moment he learned that his grandmaster had seen the video of him "airing his bird under the moon," he felt as if the sky had collapsed. His entire being was burned out and gray.
If Wang Ye and the others saw it, it would at most be a cringey social death. But for his respected elders to see it... that really made him want to die.
After the public trial, the complex and strange looks from his two elders made him feel as if countless ants were crawling all over his body. There was no place for him in this world anymore. Was there a way to leave Earth?
"Chulan, don't worry. You don't have to pay for the trees here on Dragon Tiger Mountain," the Celestial Master said with a smile.
"..."
When others had called him "Shameless," he had felt nothing. But now, he was completely uncomfortable, so ashamed he wanted to squirm and writhe on the ground...
"Chulan, although I don't really understand the young people of today... this is our own place, so we'll let it slide. But you should be a little more restrained when you're outside," Tian Jintong said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
He was a man of over a hundred years old. Seeing such an immoral act... his vision had gone black. Had he fallen behind the times?
Although Tian Jintong was genuinely concerned for him, Zhang Chulan felt even more ashamed. His face was redder than a monkey's bottom.
Grand-uncle, please, I'm begging you, stop talking!
When he saw Tian Jintong's hands, all his shame was thrown to the back of his mind, and his eyes widened.
"Grand-uncle, your hands?"
"This little friend here helped me heal them. Once I get used to my new hands and feet, I'll be able to move around like a normal person," Tian Jintong said, pointing to Kenji at his side.
THUD!
"Big bro, thank you for healing my grand-uncle! Let me kowtow to you!" Zhang Chulan said, performing a grand bow without hesitation.
Tian Jintong had ended up in that state because of his grandfather. As his grandson, he felt incredibly guilty. To be able to see Tian Jintong's hands and feet recover... he was more emotional than anyone.
"Little Lan-zi, get up. The Celestial Master and I are acquaintances. It was just a small favor," Kenji said with a smile.
Zhang Chulan: "..."
Why does that sound like a name for a eunuch? I just have a Palace-Guarding Cinnabar, I haven't castrated myself.
"Is this you?"
Using the Celestial Master's phone, Kenji found a very interesting picture on a Nankai University forum.
"?!"
Zhang Chulan was dumbfounded. His face, which had just cooled down, was now burning hot again.
The Legend of the Naked Streaker.
When had this happened? He had almost forgotten about it.
"Yoho, Chulan! You've really had some fun," the Celestial Master said, his eyebrow rising after he saw it. He had underestimated the grandson of that big-eared thief. To be naked in broad daylight was one thing, but to be caught on camera...
At this moment, he almost wanted to disown him. His hundred-plus years of self-cultivation were almost broken. This kind of behavior, even among the shit-stirrers of Quánxìng, would be considered extremely explosive.
"Grandmaster, this was an accident! At that time, at that time..."
Zhang Chulan stuck his neck out, trying to explain. But to say that it was because he had lost a fight to Feng Baobao, and had even been stripped and had his junk seen... he didn't want to explain. The explanation was even more embarrassing.
Forget it. The world might as well be destroyed. Is there a time machine anywhere? I want to change the past.
"Chulan, be a little more restrained. Don't lose face," the Celestial Master said in a heartfelt tone. No wonder he was called "Shameless." There was a little bit of truth to it.
Zhang Chulan nodded numbly. He had disgraced himself all the way to his own home.
"Do you want to know Feng Baobao's origin?" Kenji asked, a profound and unfathomable smile on his face.
Hearing this, Zhang Chulan came back to life, looking at Kenji with utter astonishment. Very few people should know about this.
"Is it that girl with the inwardly shining, divine eyes?" the Celestial Master's eyes moved. He had some impression of Feng Baobao. Besides himself, he had only ever seen that kind of state in her. However, he didn't know what her origin was.
"Big bro, do you know?" Zhang Chulan asked impatiently.
"After you know this information, will you be able to handle it?"
"Please." Zhang Chulan had always wanted to help Feng Baobao find her family. Now that there was a clue, he certainly couldn't miss it.
"Wu Gensheng's real name was Feng Yao. Now that I've said this, you should be able to guess, right?"
Hearing the truth, Zhang Chulan froze on the spot. His head felt as if it had been struck by the Yang Five Thunders, buzzing.
Wu Gensheng, the leader of the Quánxìng sect, the head of the Thirty-six Thieves back then, the source of the Jiashen Rebellion... he could be said to be an extremely mysterious and taboo existence. Anyone who mentioned him would turn pale. And no one was sure if Wu Gensheng was even dead or alive.
The family that Feng Baobao had always wanted to know about... but this identity was just too explosive.
"Feng Yao... Feng Baobao..."
The Celestial Master was also extremely surprised. He had met this Wu Gensheng before and had even pinned him to the ground with a single slap. But...
Tian Jintong voiced the Celestial Master's doubt. "That girl Feng Baobao is too young. How many years has it been since the Jiashen Rebellion? How could her appearance not have aged?"
"This should be related to the Eight Great Skills, right?" the Celestial Master said meaningfully.
The daughter of Wu Gensheng... tsk, tsk, tsk. If Old Lu knew, he would probably lose his mind.
Kenji shrugged. He didn't know what would happen after this.
"So, now that you know Feng Baobao's origin, are you still going to tell her?"
Zhang Chulan was silent. He knew that with Baobao's ageless appearance, her origin wouldn't be simple, but he had never expected it to be connected to Wu Gensheng. This made his scalp tingle. It would have been better if he hadn't known. The Eight Great Skills, the Jiashen Rebellion, the Thirty-six Thieves, Wu Gensheng... he had just seen a corner of the most core secret of the outsider world.
It was no exaggeration to say that if the news that Feng Baobao was Wu Gensheng's daughter got out, countless people would come after her. Back then, Wu Gensheng had caused the ruin of many families. Even if they had no grudge, Feng Baobao had not aged for many years. This point alone would attract a lot of covetous eyes. The secret to a long life... who didn't want it? Especially those in high positions.
Hiss... I don't think I can handle this.
"Alright, Chulan. Handle this matter with caution. Even if you tell her, you can only tell that girl Feng Baobao, and you have to warn her not to tell anyone else," the Celestial Master said, patting Zhang Chulan's shoulder. Although Nadatong knew that Feng Baobao was special, the identity of being Wu Gensheng's daughter was too special. Once it reached the ears of the higher-ups, they would definitely deal with her.
"If there's anything you can't handle, just come and find me. Dragon Tiger Mountain will always be your home," the Celestial Master said seriously. If the big-eared thief had returned to Dragon Tiger Mountain back then, those enemies wouldn't have dared to chase him. He knew that Zhang Chulan would never be able to accept the Heavenly Master's Degree. He couldn't force it.
"I understand, Grandmaster," Zhang Chulan's heart warmed. Here on Dragon Tiger Mountain, he could truly feel the warmth of home again. However, if it really came to that, he would definitely not trouble or implicate his masters. He still understood the principle of being old and frail.
He had no idea about the true value of a "hot-blooded old man anime." They were all old men (over a hundred years old). Although he had never seen his grandmaster fight, his combat power should not be as fierce as it was in his youth.
