Chapter 58: Golden Wolf

The fire crackled, the iron pot on the grill simmered the stew, and the rich aroma of Sumeru's unique spices filled the air.

Ming Chong sat by the fire, lost in thought. The bright, clear flames in his heart looked a bit like the golden roses in the simulated journey. If it weren't for the different scenes, he would have been hallucinating the ballad You Fei was singing to him...

Jade followed Sameer, chin in hand, as if thinking. She followed Sameer wherever he went.

Gabriel chatted with Nashida, who was playing cat's tangle, from time to time. Among these people, he understood best what it meant for the Grass God to go with them.

——Tirzad is second to none. Now that he has met the Grass God, it’s as if he has a backer, and he becomes even more arrogant.

In short, he felt like he was back on track.

"Let me go! Let me go!" The scholar, who was tied up tightly and squirming on the ground, was still struggling. Tirzad was so tired that he asked him to sit down and drink water.

The scholars on Earth finally realized that the privileges they usually despised were now of the utmost use. "My father is the High Commissioner of Discipline! Tajradkani!"

"What did he say?" Ming Chong asked the person next to him absentmindedly.

Nashida next to her: "Introduce your immediate family members."

"Is this how the people of Xumi curse others?" Ming Chong was puzzled. Instead of asking about the other party's ancestors, he introduced his own relatives.

Jade carefully observed the murderer of her mother, assessing the difference in combat power between the two. She walked over and asked in surprise, "Why haven't you calmed down yet? This old man is really ignorant."

Tirzad chuckled sarcastically, "He's just stubborn. He's clamoring to find the Garden of Silence. That's even more foolish than the Golden Dream."

"Okay, okay, Tajie, stop making noise. Either come with us, or--" Ming Chong squatted down and patted the scholar's face, grinning with a sinister expression.

"My name isn't Taj! I'm Murtada!"

"..." Ming Chong curled his lips and wiped his face, "It's not true, so why spray it all over my face?"

"Okay, that's it. Are you satisfied now?"

You cold-blooded woman! .jpg

Murtada could no longer bear it, "I——"

The next second, the ropes that bound him loosened, and something was stuffed into his hand. At that moment, the thought of escaping popped into Murtada's mind for 0.0001 seconds.

"Hey! The soup is ready, come on! Let's talk about what we are going to do! If we drink this bowl of soup, we will definitely succeed!" Ming Chong put his arm around the whispering Tirzad with one hand, picked up the bowl with the other, and announced excitedly.

Tirzad was silent for a moment. After being prodded, he coughed and said, "Ahem, for the glory of the Cindy family!"

Jade followed closely behind, "For the eternal oasis that mom talked about!"

Nashida blinked. "Then, in order to understand the people of the desert..."

"..." Gabriel glanced at Sameer, who was silent at first but then gradually rekindled his ambition, and spoke first, "For a more stable life."

Sameer choked, "For... the Golden Dreamland!"

Finally, everyone looked at Murtada who had just gotten up from the ground.

“…”

"Hurry up, hurry up, it's your turn! Tell it, what are you looking for?" Ming Chong pointed some machine at him.

Under so many gazes, especially with the little Auspicious Grass King as a witness, and influenced by the atmosphere, Murtada suddenly became excited and stammered:

"I, I did it for—"

"Be confident! The Grass God is watching you!"

"For the Garden of Silence! I will definitely find the Garden of Silence! The treasure that buries life and death—"

——If God is watching over us, then nothing is impossible, right?

Murtada closed his eyes and roared, then took a deep breath and looked around. He felt that everyone's expression was so gentle, and the smile of His Royal Highness the Little Auspicious Grass King was also full of tolerance...

The next day, the conversation recorded by the experimental video recorder in the House of Religious Orders, including Xumi City, was amplified and played in a loop to the scholars.

Murtada hugged himself, huddled in a corner and shed tears of shame.

"For...the Garden of Silence!"

"The treasure buried..."

"Hidden——ang——"

——Why...isn’t the god watching me?

Murtada felt a weight on his shoulder and turned his head to see the culprit. He smiled innocently and said, "It's okay. It will be over soon. Life is short."

God, but in another world.jpg

Murtada has never faced such a big dilemma in his life. The biggest setback he has experienced so far is being overshadowed by his father's glory.

Unexpectedly...

He couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears. "What on earth did I do to offend you? Why do you treat me like this?! Huh?! Can't I just change?! From now on, I'll turn around when I see you, cover my ears when I hear a sound, and stop breathing when I smell something... I... I..."

Ming Chong scratched his ears and said, "Look, you're anxious again."

Hearing this, Murtada trembled his teeth, held back his tears and waited for his words.

"Who told you to yell at me?" Ming Chong curled his lips. "No one has ever treated me like this, let alone spit on me."

The other person spoke seriously, and seemed a little aggrieved. But who should be the one aggrieved?

Murtada burst into tears like a 180-pound child.

"This is too much of a bully... too much of a bully! Lord Grass God, why don't you help me... Wuwu..."

Nashida, who was suddenly called out, turned around and said, "Maybe... it's because I was also captured?"

She comforted him again, "Although my gaze as a god is of no help, think about the bright side. Now you can also get your father's attention. Your father, Tajie, is also in Xumi City and a member of the Order, right?"

Murtada and Murtada were even more sad.

…

"For the sake of returning to the Garden of Silence!"

"I will definitely find the Garden of Silence!"

"The treasure that buried life and death——"

The 360° surround sound played for the entire morning, but the disciplinary officer couldn't find the problem at all. When it suddenly stopped, many people still felt that the sound was still playing in their ears.

Ming Chong was kind enough to only set the time for one morning. Now the babies who are in the stage of learning to speak can all imitate the tone of this sentence and babble.

This kind of face-to-face opening of the adults' teaching order court made me angry.

First of all, they didn't dare to say openly that the Grass God was lost;

Secondly, Tajie's son was missing, which could have been used to argue with Liyue officials, but the Garden of Silence is a prohibited research project...

The anger that had just been brewing was instantly extinguished.

So how does the Council of the Church react now?

The system is not responding.

Azar also used this as an excuse to attack Taj and transferred Taj from the Disciplinary Center. After all, if his son had not insisted on researching the forbidden project, the House of Representatives would now be right.

Now it’s fine, it’s covered in yellow mud, it’s shit if not shit.

Although Seno knew Mingchong wasn't a bad person, he didn't have the evidence to reassure Senior Tajie. After some investigation, he discovered that someone had deliberately lured Murtada into researching the Courtyard of Silence.

So, Seno went to find Tajie near Kavi's house...

——Why at Kavi’s house?

Because the disciplinary officers believed that the Liyue immortal would most likely continue to come in and out of here, they would not give up such an important ambush point.

Although it's not that I haven't thought about going to talk to Kavi directly, but for some reason, once I have this thought, the disciplinary officer can't get close to Kavi at all...

This is probably the method used by immortals.

As for what happened recently, Kavi probably knew that the Grass God was kidnapped by his younger brother. As for the person who played the loudspeaker... the style was a bit similar, but it felt like a bad thing, so he felt that it was not done by his younger brother.

In addition, his brother left him the key to the house (referring to the [Lonely Picture]), so Kavi asked questions directly, so he felt that there was nothing to worry about.

Maybe the little grass god wanted to play with his brother, so he left a note...

In short, my brother must have his reasons for doing things! (Nods)

***

The arrest of his son, the research taboos, and the marginalization of his position, these three things combined did not hit Tajie hard.

When Seno told Taj what he had investigated, Taj's face showed an expression of expectation.

He was indeed not too worried about his son's situation. After all, Murtada was an adult and had the freedom to do whatever he wanted or go wherever he wanted.

Being seduced is at best a matter of both parties being at fault, with the bad person alone being slightly more guilty. But doing something wrong is still doing something wrong. The relevant research data I've found isn't fake; it's all evidence.

...What's more, Lady Grass God is also among them, so at least their lives are not in danger. She will definitely protect her people. The other party is also the Liyue Immortal Clan, at least under the name of another country.

"Seno, are you going to track them down?" Taje looked up at the sky and his gaze fell back on Seno's face.

"Well, Senior Tajie, I have some ideas about this." Seno nodded, "I am very familiar with him."

"I should have taken the initiative to go with you and bring my son back myself..." Tajie calmly recounted the somewhat unkind words, "but I thought I should give him some face in front of my fellow travelers."

Others listening to this nodded involuntarily. Yes, yes, after going through this broadcast, anyone who comes here would be completely embarrassed, right?

But, travel…partner…?

Tajie had no intention of answering for others, and it was obvious that Seno, who was talking to him, did not think there was anything wrong with it.

"I'll wait here for you to bring him back. Whether it's guarding or punishment, I'll come in person then."

——

——

"You're totally wrong! You should do as I say!"

"Go away! Are you in charge or am I?! This is an important tool for me to study the Red King, so get out of here! Go and study your Garden of Silence!"

"There are only two scholars here! What right do you have to chase me away? Besides, I told you to go to your destination first and then look for the Garden of Silence! Are you stalling for time?"

“…”

The two scholars each held to their own opinion, one a master of yin and yang, the other a stubborn and iron-blooded person, neither would give in, and the argument ended in a decisive battle.

Nashida rested against a tree and opened her eyes. "It seems many people have lowered their guard because of me... Why is that?"

Perhaps the god's sanctity hasn't been broken yet... That's why the Ministry of Religion believes that the grass god left on his own initiative, and the seal, the broadcast, and so on...

Just like the thumb-sized mountain named [Xiahui Mountain], scholars unanimously believe that this Liyue immortal just likes to make some noise.

Ming Chong, on the other hand, was already used to having someone help him make up for his losses. Without even thinking, he ate one of Kawi's Lannaro cookies, one by one. "Who cares? As long as no one is stopping us from having fun, that's enough!"

To be honest, instead of wasting time worrying about it, you might as well take a break from your busy schedule and simulate it.

"You chose A.

Since you can’t cook, you always order takeout, but the takeout is often overdue, and you start to get tired of it…”
