Zhang Lisheng thought he could stay in the cabin to cultivate while killing time on the boat after all of his friends left. Unfortunately, he did not get what he wished for, whereby Xiong Zhuangming clung onto him before he could even get back to his cabin. This man who seemed experienced when he was young and would look rich when he went older whose features looked pretty much like his father had been talking to him. He did not leave Zhang Lisheng alone ever since he began talking at the side of the boat until night.
