In our long-standing and historically rich land of China, many professions have their own rules and taboos. This is especially true for ancient and mysterious crafts.

For instance, when engag...

Chapter 214 The Mystery Unveiled

Chang Jie was clearly distressed for Zhao Youliang, his disciple who had been sent to the shamanic path. Seeing him so anxious, like an ant on a hot pan, and with no one else offering any good advice, he spoke up listlessly.

“Quantum, how about I go home and ask my dad for you… Asking my dad might not work, I’ll have to ask my uncles.”

"My father was physically weak like me when he was young. He was beaten by other small animals and dared not go to the private school to eavesdrop, so his academic level was not high."

Zhao Youliang, of course, knew nothing about Chang Jie's father, Chang Baye.

However, through the previous "school incident," in which the three members of the Hui family promised to protect the three children, Zhao Youliang knew that once important figures got involved in cause and effect, they would suffer extremely severe backlash.

It could even be life-threatening, so he quickly gritted his teeth and refused.

"Egg Boy, besides going home to find your parents, do you know any other experts?"

"What I mean is a highly accomplished person who can participate in cause and effect."

Upon hearing this, Chang Jie slowly shook his head... and wiggled his chubby little head.

“Quantum, our family is not allowed to participate in cause and effect. You should ask someone else.”

After saying that, he threw the cigarette back onto Zhao Youliang's head with a "poof," and continued smoking, letting the ash fall onto Zhao Youliang's big face.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Youliang could only turn to Liao Zhiyuan and Huang Yu for help.

Liao Zhiyuan smiled wryly: "Brother Quantum, my father can participate in cause and effect, and is not subject to Mr. Quantum's restrictions."

"But...it's no use looking for him."

"To put it simply, my dad doesn't even have any spiritual cultivation. He only opened his third eye by smearing mud (soot from the bottom of a pot)."

"Catching ghosts relies entirely on the Celestial Master Talisman given by the sect, as well as the Celestial Master's Three Treasures."

After Liao Zhiyuan finished speaking, Huang Yu shook his head helplessly.

I was just about to say that my family couldn't be involved in cause and effect, but then I suddenly remembered something important.

“Quantum, ever since the master set the rules, only two people have been unrestricted… or rather, have no taboos.”

"The first one is the young general, and the other is Master Wuxin from your dream!"

"You can ask him about Yingchun's sister-in-law."

"The master is merciful and will surely tell you!"

After hearing Huang Yu's words, Liao Zhiyuan, who also knew about the previous generation's affairs, nodded repeatedly.

"You can ask the master about Quantum Bro!"

"The master is a living Buddha; if he so desires, there is nothing in the world that he does not know!"

......

As it turns out, sleep is something that cannot be forced.

The more Zhao Youliang tried to fall asleep and visit Master Wuxin in his dreams, the less he could sleep.

In desperation, he could only "beg" Liao Zhiyuan, who was sleeping next to him.

"Xiao Liao, if all else fails, just knock me out. I'm really in a hurry!"

Liao Zhiyuan wasn't that reckless, so of course he refused to help and could only offer quiet words of comfort.

"Don't worry, Quantum Bro, calm down."

"If... if we really can't sleep, let's have a drink."

"You'll naturally fall asleep when you're drunk!"

Although Liao Zhiyuan was right, the impatient Zhao Youliang was unwilling to wait any longer, even for the time to drink.

With a quick glance around, he had an idea: Xiao Liao was reluctant to hit himself, but someone... a dog would be willing to!

He immediately put on his pants, got out of bed, and headed straight for the doghouse.

"Hey Dog Bro, are you there? It's only 3 AM, why are you sleeping? Come out and beat me up!"

The big yellow dog was woken up by Zhao Youliang. It poked its head out of its kennel with an impatient look on its face, its eyes full of "Are you sick?"

Then it barked twice at Zhao Youliang before retreating back into its kennel to sleep.

Left with no other choice, Zhao Youliang had to grit his teeth and continue courting disaster.

He bent down and went to the door of the doghouse, grabbed the big yellow dog's tail and dragged it out.

"Sir, wake up! Fight me to the death!"

This "outrageous" act finally enraged the big yellow dog.

After letting out a howl, Zhao Youliang finally got what he wanted—he was beaten so badly he was completely dazed...

In his dream, there was still a fog, and in the fog, the old man was still preaching to him.

However, Zhao Youliang was not in the mood to listen at this moment; he was only hoping for the little monk to appear.

Then, a moment later, it wasn't Master Wuxin who arrived, but the head of the Chang family, dressed in white.

The reason the Northern Blood Dragon appeared was to teach him the second move of the Three Perfections of Swordsmanship: Gentleman.

In fact, Zhao Youliang should have been taught this a long time ago, but some things delayed it until now.

(For details, please refer to Chapter 0199 of this book: The Sins of That Year)

With Zhao Youliang's emotional intelligence, although he was disappointed, he did not show it at all. Instead, he quickly and respectfully knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"This junior greets the Venerable Immortal Chang, and kowtows to you!"

Seeing that Zhao Youliang was courteous, the Northern Blood Dragon smiled.

With a gentle flick of his sleeve, he lifted Zhao Youliang up from the ground.

"We both served by your side before you, so there's no need to be so polite."

"Are you alright? Is my Xiao Jie alright?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Youliang quickly and respectfully replied, "Don't worry, old immortal, we are all fine."

Because he was really worried about Yingchun's sister-in-law, Zhao Youliang didn't pay attention to what Beiguo Xuelong said about "serving by the master's side".

After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked the question on his mind under the stern presence of the Chang family patriarch.

"Old, old immortal, you lived in the school, do you still remember Sister Yingchun?"

After speaking, she looked at the peerless gentleman in front of her with anticipation.

Chang Huaiyuan did not disappoint Zhao Youliang; he even took the initiative to explain.
