"I heard you failed at alchemy again. Failure is one thing, but you dared to slack off! If you're such a lazybones, don't blame me if you can't get married in the future!"
The girl crossed her arms over her chest, not backing down, and snorted before turning her head away.
"I never intended to get married in the first place. Even if I were to get married, I would only marry you, Master!"
"This is called being near the water tower and getting the moon first."
"You..." The young man in white, who had prepared a whole speech, was stunned and speechless for a long time.
“I am your master. Do you not know how to respect your teacher? Besides, there is such a big age difference between us.”
In this atmosphere, amidst this subtle fragrance, the young man in white felt inexplicably awkward.
"I don't care, I don't care! If Master doesn't marry me, I'll never get married!" the girl said, her face full of coquettishness.
"What do children know about love and romance? Your task now is to focus on your cultivation. We can talk about feelings later!"
"But I'm serious about liking you!" The girl's still-childish face showed a determined look.
"Are you... really serious?"
"Haha, Master, you're so cute! How could I possibly fall for an old man like you!"
Seeing the girl's smug look, the young man in white was both angry and amused, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Breaking news! Everyone hurry! Master is being disrespectful for his age, trying to seduce a young girl!"
Before anyone knew it, four or five young people dressed in white had gathered outside the door, all with expressions of watching a good show, and some were even jeering.
The white-clad youth's face gradually darkened.
"You little bastards, are you all itching for a beating?"
"Oh no! Oh no! Master failed to seduce a young girl, and now he's taking his anger out on us! Everyone, run!"
Looking at the group of mischievous disciples, the young man in white shook his head and chuckled.
Given his temperament and experience, how could he possibly fall into Qian Junyi's trap?

Chapter 217 The Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong!
"Why?" Ye Qianzhi asked, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Zhuo Xinyan seemed to understand Zhang Yun's meaning.
"You'll understand later," Zhang Yun said without offering further explanation.
Because everyone's experience is different, only by truly experiencing it can one truly understand it, and sometimes, it can even be unforgettable.
This is an indispensable part of the growth process; once you get through it, you will become stronger.
Although the price of growing up can sometimes be very heavy.
"I will be going into seclusion for a while. During this time, you all need to work hard."
Before returning to his room, Zhang Yun instructed, "Also, don't get too close to the people from the Sword Immortal's Mansion, understand?"
"The people from the Sword Immortal Mansion are all snobbish and look down on others. I don't like them at all."
Ye Qianzhi pouted her lips, then smiled sweetly: "Okay, young master, during your seclusion, I will protect you. You can go with peace of mind."
“Master, how about this, Qianzhi and I will take turns protecting you?” Zhuo Xinyan said with a smile.
"Alright." Zhang Yun couldn't bear to refuse their kindness, so he smiled and nodded.
Back in his room at the restaurant, Zhang Yun immediately opened the chat interface and saw a lot of messages.
Especially the Journey to the West chat groups.
The Jade Emperor reported to Mr. Zhang: "That monkey, dissatisfied with his lowly official position, has descended to the mortal realm to cause trouble again, and has even proclaimed himself the Great Sage Equal to Heaven!"
Queen Mother: "Hmph, Mr. Zhang, you know perfectly well that monkey is despicable. Not only did he refuse the lowly official position, but he also stole the invaluable peaches of immortality! Mr. Zhang, you must avenge me!"
Jade Emperor: "Mr. Zhang, that demon monkey is too arrogant. I hereby request permission to apprehend it!"
Venus: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger."
The Jade Emperor said, "What anger is there to quell? That monkey thinks too highly of himself. How can he put the face of Heaven?"
Guanyin: "Jade Emperor, do not be afraid. This humble monk is willing to lend a helping hand to the Heavenly Court."
The Jade Emperor said, "Thank you for your help, Bodhisattva."
Zhang Yun: "Alright, go ahead, but while you're capturing it, don't kill the monkey."
Jade Emperor: "Why is that?"
Zhang Yun: "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Just do as I say."
Sun Wukong was transformed from a spiritual stone and received guidance from the Bodhi Patriarch. Now, with his extraordinary abilities, ordinary immortals and gods are truly no match for him.
However, there are many powerful figures in the Heavenly Realm. If someone were determined to kill Sun Wukong, he would be doomed.
