After leaving the factory, Zuo Qinglong grabbed Hua Qingcheng's hand and ran all the way.

"Master Taoist, why are you here?" Hua Qingcheng asked puzzledly while running after Zuo Qinglong.

Zuo Qinglong found time to respond: "It's free to live here."

Hua Qingcheng couldn't help but twitch her lips when she heard this. "Don't you have the 50 million yuan that the Feng family gave you? Besides, just performing the ritual for Old Lady Chu, you made a net profit of 90,000 yuan. Is it necessary to be so stingy?"

Hearing Hua Qingcheng's words, Zuo Qinglong couldn't help but stop.

His eyes widened in disbelief. "What? The 50 million the Feng family gave me? And the 90,000 they gave me for the ritual for Old Lady Chu?"

Zuo Qinglong pondered inwardly, this was how the gold card and the money in his Zhifubao account came from. This must have been Xuantian's work...

"Ahem..." Hua Qingcheng cleared her throat twice, interrupting Zuo Qinglong's thoughts. "So, Taoist Priest, you're a rich man now, so why are you still living in such a shabby place?"

Zuo Qinglong scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "Hey, I'm used to it. Besides, it's quiet here, suitable for meditation."

You know, Zuo Qinglong has been the Taoist priest Xuantian in Laifeng Kingdom for seventeen years. Some of his habits cannot be changed immediately.

After saying that, he thought of the question from before and asked Hua Qingcheng curiously, "By the way, Hua Qingcheng, how did you get kidnapped by a bunch of thugs? Logically, shouldn't you have beaten them so badly that even their own parents wouldn't recognize them?"

Zuo Qinglong looked at Hua Qingcheng suspiciously, his heart full of doubts.

After all, with Hua Qingcheng's skills, dealing with a few gangsters is obviously no problem.

Hua Qingcheng glanced at Zuo Qinglong leisurely, curled her lips and said, "Master, do you think I'm stupid? Although I often fight, those people are holding machetes. I can't fight four people with my two fists alone. Of course, saving my life is the most important thing."

Zuo Qinglong frowned slightly upon hearing this, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes. He stared at Hua Qingcheng, his tone questioning: "Hua Qingcheng, although there is nothing wrong with me being a Taoist priest for seventeen years in Laifeng Country, the problem is... haven't I returned now? Why are you still calling me Taoist priest?"

Hearing Zuo Qinglong's words, Hua Qingcheng's face instantly became extremely surprised. She stared at Zuo Qinglong with wide eyes, her lips trembling slightly, "What did you say?"

It turned out that the person who had performed the ritual at the Feng family earlier was not the true owner of this body! But like her, he was from a distant and foreign land—Daoist Xuantian of the Laifeng Kingdom.

And the man in front of him, Zuo Qinglong, is the real owner of this body.

In other words, the real Taoist priest has already returned to Laifeng Country...

Hua Qingcheng's mind was suddenly in chaos. She didn't expect things to turn out like this.

Thinking of this, Hua Qingcheng couldn't help but grit her teeth. She secretly cursed Xuantian for being so disloyal, actually going back alone without her. If it weren't for Xuantian's words that good luck was about to come, she really wanted to scold that stinky Taoist priest to death...

Hua Qingcheng sighed slightly, trying to calm herself down, staring at Zuo Qinglong, trying to find more clues from his expression and words.

Meanwhile, Zuo Qinglong was also quietly observing Hua Qingcheng, his heart filled with doubts. This was because, aside from her appearance, he couldn't see how the woman before him resembled the Hua Qingcheng he remembered.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Zuo Qinglong looked at Hua Qingcheng in shock and said, "Could it be... could it be that you are the Hua Qingcheng from Laifeng Country?"

Hua Qingcheng raised her eyebrows slightly and did not comment.

"They're over there, chase them!"

Just as Hua Qingcheng and Zuo Qinglong were talking, the voice of the man in the baseball cap who had kidnapped Hua Qingcheng came from behind them.

As soon as he finished speaking, more than twenty thugs armed with machetes quickly caught up with Hua Qingcheng and Zuo Qinglong and surrounded them.

"It's all your fault. You talk so much nonsense!" Hua Qingcheng said unhappily.

Zuo Qinglong immediately retorted: "You seem to have said as much as I have, and it was clearly you who started it!"

"Hmph, I don't want to bother with you." Hua Qingcheng rolled her eyes at Zuo Qinglong.

The kidnapper in the baseball cap chuckled slightly. "Haha, I didn't expect someone would come to rescue you. Brothers, tie up this guy who wants to be a hero and save the damsel in distress but overestimates his own abilities!"

Immediately afterwards, Hua Qingcheng, who was originally the only one tied to the pillar in the factory, now had Zuo Qinglong beside her to keep her company.

"Who are you? Why are you arresting me?" Hua Qingcheng asked with a frown.

The kidnapper in the peaked cap sneered: "It doesn't matter who we are. What matters is that someone is paying for your life."

"Oh? Really? Who is it?" Hua Qingcheng suppressed the fear in her heart and pretended to be calm.

At this moment, the sound of a car stopping was heard outside, and then Feng Jiayu, wearing a black baseball cap and a tight-fitting suit, slowly walked into the factory.

Seeing Feng Jiayu coming, the gang leader in the peaked cap smiled and said in a sly tone, "Miss Feng, we have successfully completed the task as you requested. Is it time to settle the balance?"

Feng Jiayu glanced at Hua Qingcheng who was tied to the pillar, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she nodded with satisfaction, "Brother Hu, you did a good job this time. I will naturally not deny my debt."

As she spoke, she took out her cell phone from her bag, operated it quickly, and soon transferred a huge sum of money to the other party.

"Zhi Fu Bao has received 5 million yuan." With a crisp prompt sound, the entire transaction was completed.
