"Miss Shang, why aren't you staying in the Water Residence overseeing affairs? What brings you to Linhai? Could it be that you're also intrigued by Zhou Ping'an's skills?"
Chu Wenli turned his head and glanced over, his brows arched with surprise. The annoyance in his heart dissipated significantly. He quickly welcomed Shang Siqi to sit and have tea.
"Bah, I'm nothing but old bones now, and you're still calling me 'girl'?"
The elderly woman shot him a glare and replied irritably, "You clearly understand what's going on but choose to feign ignorance. Zhou Ping'an's capabilities now are something even Zhongshan and Zhao Ji, those two ancient figures, hold in fear. Can we ordinary people even dare to plot anything concerning him? Knowledge has no precedence, and those who achieve more are considered masters. If we could leverage some past connections to request one or two techniques from him, it would be a benefit that we'd never exhaust."
