"I didn't get angry with so many women, why would I get angry for doing something good?" Yang Mange looked at Su Yang with playful anger.
Su Yang kissed Yang Mange's lips and said, "My mistake, my mistake. Let's go take a bath."
A night of revelry.
The next morning, Su Yang woke up early. Today, Su Yang was going to visit Shi Wuzun.
At this time, Shi Wuzun was being looked after by Shen Qiu in Shi Wuzun's mansion.
Although he was almost recovered, he still needed to be carefully looked after. Su Yang was worried about any unexpected situations, so he had Shen Qiu stay with him.
As soon as he arrived at Shi Wuzun's mansion, Su Yang saw Shen Qiu coming out.
"Shen Qiu, what are you doing?"
"Boss?" Shen Qiu's eyes lit up like he had seen a relative upon seeing Su Yang.
He hadn't seen Su Yang for a very, very long time.
He was about to rush forward and hug Su Yang, but Su Yang stopped him.
"Stop right there, what are you doing? Didn't I tell you to take good care of Lord Shi Wuzun? Why did you come out?"
Shen Qiu looked wronged and said, "Boss, you came back without telling me. Lord Shi Wuzun is no longer in danger, so I'm useless here."
"And then?"
"Then I missed you a little, so I wanted to come back and see."
Su Yang clicked his tongue twice, looked at Shen Qiu, and said, "Alright, you've seen him now. Come back with me to see Lord Shi Wuzun."
Su Yang's visit this time was actually to bid farewell to Shi Wuzun.
Or rather, a temporary farewell.
Because Su Yang's focus would temporarily shift away from the situation in Long Country.
He would work hard to complete missions and receive rewards.
Pulling Shen Qiu inside, they were led by a servant to see Shi Wuzun lying on the bed.
After the ordeal of this period, Shi Wuzun had become extremely thin.
"Teacher."
Shi Wuzun was now conscious. Su Yang arrived just as Shi Wuzun was waking up.
"Su Yang... are you alright?" Shi Wuzun had already heard the general situation from Shen Qiu, and he also knew that Su Yang had been injured.
This was something that worried Shi Wuzun.
"I'm fine, teacher. Don't worry about me. I'm strong and healthy."
Indeed, after a night of revelry, Yang Mange was still asleep, but Su Yang had already arrived before Shi Wuzun.
As he spoke, to make Shi Wuzun believe him more, Su Yang even did two push-ups.
"See? I'm perfectly fine."
"Alright, alright, it's good that you're fine."
Shi Wuzun sighed, "After nearly twenty years of battling wits and strategies with Shangguan Zhongtang, it has finally come to an end." Shi Wuzun said, holding Su Yang's hand, "This is all thanks to your efforts alone."
"No, no, teacher. It's also thanks to the efforts of many others. I only played a command role. Without them, I wouldn't have been able to bring down Shangguan Zhongtang."
"Yes, the strength of your subordinates is indeed very important, but it is still your leadership as a leader that is most crucial."
"You flatter me, teacher."
"What are your plans for the future?" Shi Wuzun asked Su Yang.
Su Yang had expected Shi Wuzun to ask this question and was prepared.
"Teacher, you probably want me to take over your position, right?"
Shi Wuzun looked at Su Yang and smiled with satisfaction, "You are the most outstanding among my disciples. I have no children, and the position of Military Commander is hereditary. This position is rightfully yours.
Moreover, you saved my old life this time, along with Shen Qiu. Without you, I would truly be dead by now."
"Teacher... I..."
Even though he was prepared, facing Shi Wuzun now, Su Yang was at a loss for words.
Shi Wuzun sensed Su Yang's hesitation and asked, "What is it?"
"I plan not to inherit your position for now."
"Why?" Shi Wuzun was very confused.
"Because I feel that I don't have enough resources at the moment. If I were to take this position, various situations would require resources. So, I was thinking, why don't I strive for another two to three years, and then make plans regarding this?"
"But you already have so much now." Shi Wuzun looked at Su Yang with confusion.
Su Yang definitely did not look down on Shi Wuzun's position. Shi Wuzun was confident of this.
As one of the nine major departments of Long Country, this position was a sufficiently high starting point for Su Yang.
Su Yang was able to discuss this matter with Shi Wuzun because he trusted Shi Wuzun and considered him his own.
Shi Wuzun thought for a moment and asked Su Yang, "Do you truly feel this way?"
Su Yang nodded and said, "Yes, teacher. I want to strive for another two to three years before making efforts in this regard.
I truly have no other intentions, teacher. You know, my loyalty to you has always been unwavering."
Shi Wuzun looked at Su Yang and then nodded, "Your teacher believes you."
Saying this, Shi Wuzun stroked his beard and said, "I was originally planning to retire this year, but it seems I can't retire yet.
Then, I will stay in this position for another two to three years for you. When you feel you are fully prepared, come and find me, and I will hand over this position to you immediately.
Of course, if you find a better position by then, you can take that better position."
Hearing Shi Wuzun's words, Su Yang nodded to him, "Su Yang thanks you, teacher."
In this situation, Su Yang had anticipated it. The relationship between him and Shi Wuzun was no longer just that of a master and disciple.
There was likely a deeper affection added.
After all, Su Yang had saved Shi Wuzun from dire straits this time.
If it weren't for Su Yang's persistence, Shi Wuzun would have truly died long ago.
Shi Wuzun was also a person who valued relationships, so Su Yang's words would come with many opportunities.
The position of Military Commander was a good starting point for Su Yang, as it was a position that ordinary people could not reach even after a lifetime of effort.
After this, Su Yang had a position to inherit, and a strategist waiting. Everything was ready.
He just needed to wait for Su Yang to accumulate the maximum amount of resources.
Su Yang himself didn't know how much resources he would have. He just felt that if he focused on the situation in Long Country, he couldn't focus on completing missions.
Status could be gained through the situation, but money was status. With enough money, Su Yang would have complete status.
That day, Su Yang stayed with Shi Wuzun for dinner before returning to the villa.
Upon his return, Yang Mange was handling company matters, her brow furrowed.
"What should I do..."
Seeing Yang Mange struggling, Su Yang walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yang Mange looked up at Su Yang and said, "The company received an international invitation to select a person with national recognition to participate in a matchmaking program in the United States."
"Ah? And it has to be someone with national recognition?"
"Yes, because it's an international matchmaking program..."
"Doesn't the company have many artists? And it's scripted, so why not just find someone of similar stature and send them?"
"That's what I thought... but..."
Su Yang understood Yang Mange's concerns. Some artists were the company's cash cows. What would it mean for them to participate in a matchmaking program?
Just as Su Yang was about to persuade Yang Mange, the troublesome system reappeared.
[Current Mission: Convince Yang Mange to participate in an international matchmaking program in the United States.]
Hearing this voice, Su Yang blinked his eyes, feeling a little annoyed.
He, participate in a matchmaking program?
Why would he participate?
"What are you up to, system? Why would I participate in a matchmaking program?"
"Didn't you go out to participate in a matchmaking program? And you can go out on missions, so why not?"
After saying that, the system disappeared.
Su Yang was speechless in his heart.
Was that the point?
Su Yang could certainly participate, but why did he have to convince Yang Mange to go?!
Telling his wife that he was going to participate in a matchmaking program was asking for trouble.
