A Martial Arts Master's Pickup Journal

When they first meet

Zhan Lingfeng (looking clueless): Xiao Ran, if I follow you, will we really find Ling'er?

Ye Ran (earnest): We will, so just come with me.

After they get home

Zhan Lingfeng (pitifully): Xiao Ran, Lingfeng doesn't want to become a monk.

Ye Ran (rubbing her forehead helplessly): I only asked you to cut your hair a little shorter.

After she's taken him in

Zhan Lingfeng (confused): Xiao Ran, when are you finally going to help me find Ling'er?

Ye Ran (smiling): Lingfeng, how about I make dinner for you today?

Zhan Lingfeng (looking terrified): Xiao Ran, I was wrong...

Basically, it's a hilarious story about a clueless, innocent ancient martial arts master getting mixed up with a modern, slightly scheming CEO of an older-sister type, who tricks him into coming home and keeps him there.

P.S. Believe me, apart from these two, everyone else is just a side character. A side character!

Editor's notice: This Wednesday, May 22, the novel will be locked for paid chapters. I hope you'll continue to support it afterward. Having to post three chapters on launch day is a real nightmare for someone with no backlog (tears...)

Also, please don't repost the novel after it becomes paid. If you steal it, at least don't post it simultaneously. If it gets reposted, I may add anti-piracy chapters later.
