Chapter 463

Evelyn Laurent's eyes widened slightly as she watched Richard Langley and Zhang Zhengyi conversing.

"Dad, Master, you know each other?" she couldn't help asking.

Richard gave a slight bow, his tone respectful. "I've long admired the master's reputation."

He had wanted to meet Zhang Zhengyi before but never got the chance. Running into him here was an unexpected delight.

Evelyn blinked, her mind reeling.

Anyone who could command such deference from her father must be extraordinary.

Noticing his young disciple's shocked expression, Zhang chuckled and shook his head. "That's all in the past."

"Now I'm just an old man retired in White Stone Village. Practicing tai chi and teaching students."

When he took Evelyn as his disciple, it was precisely because he recognized her innate stubbornness and exceptional talent.

This seemingly delicate girl possessed astonishing explosive power.

Richard immediately understood. "Master needn't worry. Today's matter won't leave this place."

Zhang nodded approvingly, his gaze sweeping over those present before landing on Ethan Sullivan.

"Young man, come here." He beckoned.

Ethan stepped forward respectfully and bowed. "Master Zhang."

Zhang pinched his wrist, eyebrows lifting slightly. "Old Sun's disciple?"

"Indeed." Ethan bowed again.

"Not bad." Zhang released his hand and gave Evelyn a meaningful look. "Good enough for my girl."

Evelyn's cheeks flushed pink. "Master!"

"What?" Zhang stroked his beard. "The whole internet knows about this boy taking a bullet for you."

Evelyn's eyes widened in surprise. "You even know about that?"

Zhang pretended offense. "Do you think your master is some out-of-touch fossil?"

Evelyn stuck out her tongue. "Fine, I was wrong."

Laughter soon filled the courtyard.
