How to Tame a God and the Lucky Beasts-Chapter 156 - 57: Third Master

Chapter 156: Chapter 57: Third Master
Looking at the child he just signed, who seemed so inexperienced, Zhang He’s first reaction was pity.
That’s right, just pity.
What kind of life has this child lived before? Five million in remuneration shocked him so much...
"Kid, don’t worry, just follow Sister He, and you’ll naturally live the good life!"
Ruan Xingwen, still in a daze, was taken aback by Zhang He’s sudden streetwise demeanor.
What’s going on with Sister He now?
No one knew why Zhang He stopped speaking, but after patting Ruan Xingwen on the shoulder, she walked over to the manager waiting at the side.
Leaving only one sentence behind:
"Kid, don’t worry, your Brother Ze already told me. This time it’s on his account first, and once you get your pay, you two can settle it then!"
Ruan Xingwen: "..."
So Yu Xiaozhe had already arranged everything...
But, am I too useless...
Always needing Yu Xiaozhe to clean up my messes...
This is the difference between us from back then...
Ruan Xingwen quietly watched Sister He and the others walking towards the private room.
Feeling slightly down, he slapped his cheeks, trying to gather his emotions, just when he was about to go to the restroom to wash his face and wake up, the phone in his pocket rang.
Ruan Xingwen took it out and glanced at the screen, it was an unknown number.
Probably another spam or scam call, he pressed to hang up.
Who knew the other side would persistently call again.
Ruan Xingwen picked it up, wanting to see what kind of new scam would give someone the confidence to call twice.
"Hello, who is this?"
"..."
Then came a burst of static, with no one responding.
"Hello?"
"Ruan Xingwen, how is the Little Qilin doing?"
A hoarse, piercing voice came from the phone.
But the content made Ruan Xingwen clench the phone tighter.
He looked around and walked into the nearby restroom.
After confirming there was no one else in the restroom and closing the door, Ruan Xingwen spoke first:
"Who are you?"
"Hehehe, you don’t need to know who I am, just tell me how the Little Qilin is doing?"
The laughter on the other side of the phone was even more piercing, still asking about the Little Qilin.
Ruan Xingwen took a few deep breaths, calming his rapidly beating heart, and feigned composure as he replied:
"Who are you? What cub? I don’t understand!"
"Tsk, I’m not a bad person, you just need to tell me how it is!"
Ha, would a bad person write ’bad person’ on their face?
"If you’re not going to say anything, forget it, bye-bye."
Ruan Xingwen pretended to hang up the phone.
"Wait a minute!"
Sure enough, the other side was afraid he’d hang up.
"I can’t tell you who I am right now, you just need to know I’m not going to harm you!"
"I know? How do I know?"
This call was too suspicious.
"You!"
The voice on the other side of the phone gradually grew irritable.
"What about me? If you don’t say anything, I’m really hanging up!"
"..."
"Alright, I’ll say it."
The person on the other end seemed to give up struggling, their voice no longer so piercing.
"I am the former owner of the Mountain and Sea Realm."
"!!! What?!"
Ruan Xingwen thought he was hearing things.
"It’s just as you heard, I am the former owner of the Mountain and Sea Realm."
But, didn’t Yun Jing say he was dead?
"But..."
The person on the other end seemed to know Ruan Xingwen’s doubts, and interrupted him:
"I know what you want to say, I am not dead. I was just backfired by Spiritual Power, and only recently woke up."
"That day I wanted my people to bring the Little Qilin to you, but Yun Jing seemed to have placed a barrier on you, my people didn’t dare to approach you and could only put the cub in that alley. Thankfully, you’re kind-hearted."
Indeed, on such a rainy day, who else but someone inherently kind would run past, then come back to check that faint whimper?
"...So? Why do you have a Qilin cub and why did you send it to me?"
"Ah, this is a long story. It’s inconvenient now, but once I handle things on my side, I’ll come see you. For now, just tell me, how is the cub?"
"He’s fine."
Ruan Xingwen said no more, still wary of the person’s identity on the other end of the line.
"Phew... that’s good."
"Third Master!..."
All that was heard next was a sudden shout, followed by a series of chaotic noises, and then the call was disconnected.
Ruan Xingwen was baffled, yet a bit concerned.
The sound seemed like something happened to that Third Master person...
Who is the Third Master?
The former owner of the Classic of Mountains and Seas...
It appears, once Yun Jing wakes up again, it’s time to ask about the Mountain and Sea Realm!
"Knock, knock, knock."
"Excuse me, is anyone in there? If not, we’re getting ready to clean up~."
The knocking and inquiry pulled Ruan Xingwen back to reality.
"Oh! Someone’s here, I’ll be right out!"
Ruan Xingwen quickly replied.
After washing his hands, he opened the door and walked out.
Outside was the restaurant cleaner, a woman not too old.
The cleaner lady was briefly stunned to see Ruan Xingwen’s face, then enthusiastically asked:
"Young man, aren’t you that koi star? The one who won a villa in a lottery?!"
"Uh, that’s probably me, but what is koi star?"
The cleaner lady explained:
"That’s what everyone’s calling you online, they say you’re the reincarnation of a koi!"
Ruan Xingwen shyly scratched his head, "Ah, those are just jokes from netizens, haha."
The lady familiarly patted Ruan Xingwen’s arm,
"Young man! You’re so handsome! By the way, are you attending some meeting today too?"
Ruan Xingwen nodded,
"Yes, ma’am."
He checked the time and continued,
"Ma’am, it’s time for me, so you go ahead, and I’ll take my leave."
After saying that, he even helped push the cleaning cart into the restroom for her.
The cleaner lady watched the young man who helped her and remembered what she just overheard, unable to bear seeing such a nice guy being set up.
She got close to Ruan Xingwen and whispered a few words.
The previously amused Ruan Xingwen’s face immediately turned cold after hearing what the lady said, even his gaze became intimidating.
Ruan Xingwen pressed his lips, bowed to the lady, "Thank you, ma’am, I understand now, thank you very much!"
The lady quickly helped him up, "Oh, you’re a good kid, don’t let those bad people hurt you!"
"Yes, I know, ma’am. You take care, goodbye."
Watching Ruan Xingwen’s hurried back, the lady sighed softly,
"I wonder if it was right to tell him this, oh well, let’s see what fate has in store!"
Turns out the cleaner lady intentionally followed Ruan Xingwen, not by chance to clean the restroom.
As for the reason...
It was naturally because she had heard something about this handsome young man.
