"How... how is this possible? Him?" Bai Zhiyun seemed even more incredulous than Chen Daozhi.
Seeing this, Dong Rou comforted her, "Zhiyun, it's alright. It doesn't matter which master destroyed the ghost baby. We've finally saved my aunt. Thank you and your boyfriend. We are very grateful that you came."
At the same time, "Da da da..." Chen Ke struck the wooden fish again at Chen Daozhi. The two thousand points he had painstakingly earned back were used up in an instant. Chen Ke immediately felt a chill and struck faster to warm himself up with the merit.
Chen Daozhi was packing up his things when he heard the sound of the wooden fish again, and suddenly it sounded jarring. Moreover, he didn't know if it was his imagination, but he actually felt a slight chill.
It's not a cold in terms of temperature, but a chill that can penetrate the body.
But how could that be? With his pure Yang body and the protection of his abundant merits, no matter how powerful the Yin evil was, it could not get close to him.
He raised his head and said coldly to Chen Ke, "Could you please stop hitting the wooden fish?" His current frustration made him extremely disgusted by the sound of the wooden fish.
"I just came down from the mountain and don't know much about this. Is there any written rule that says I can't strike the wooden fish?"
"Then could you please stop banging on me?"
"Oh? Is there any rule that says I can't knock on you?"
!!
At this moment, Chen Daozhi could no longer suppress his anger.
"you--"
"Master, Master, excuse me, I'm in a hurry to get my wife to the hospital, please make way, please make way."
Chen Daozhi held his breath, glared at Chen Ke, then looked at the anxious Zhu Dahai, kicked the box away angrily, and left.
He had never been treated like this before!
As a favored son of heaven, he was always the object of admiration wherever he went, but unexpectedly, he lost face in such a small place today.
"Brother Daozhi, Brother Daozhi!" Bai Zhiyun glared at Chen Ke, shook off Dong Rou's hand, and was about to chase after him.
"Hey, do you still want your proper magic weapon, Brother Daozhi? If not, this fake Taoist priest of mine has never seen anything like it and won't recognize it, so I'll just throw it away like trash."
"You, you!" After a long pause, Bai Zhiyun still managed to suppress her temper, squatted down, put the magic artifact into the box, and then ran out with the box in her arms.
Chen Ke tapped the wooden fish and watched the two drive away in a cloud of dust.
Hmm, not bad typing speed, typed back a thousand.
Chen Ke put away the wooden fish and prepared to leave, but Zhu Dahai drove up and said, "Master Daoist, please stay at my home. I'll take my wife to the hospital first and then thank you properly when I get back."
"No need, I have important business to attend to, I'm leaving now." Chen Ke waved his hand and walked away with great ease. Zhu Dahai looked at Chen Ke's back with eyes full of admiration. This was the true demeanor of a master!
Master Chen Ke had just stepped onto the street when he slapped his forehead and realized he'd made a mistake; he deserved a meal!
······
At this moment, in the main hall of the Chen family ancestral home, Chen Zhenghong was on the phone, while Chen Zhengxin was leisurely sipping tea.
"What? Are you sure? Have you checked everything?" Chen Zhenghong suddenly asked sharply, then hung up the phone with a gloomy expression after receiving the reply from the other end.
Chen Zhengxin put down his teacup. "What happened, brother?"
"...Chen Ke, the child is missing."
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhengxin immediately sat up straight. "Gone? What do you mean gone? Wasn't he always on the mountain?"
"Master Wudao has passed away, and Chen Ke has also disappeared without a trace."
"Master Wudao has passed away?" This seemed to surprise Chen Zhengxin even more.
"The incident happened suddenly, and our top priority now is to find Chen Ke." Chen Zhenghong felt uneasy thinking about his son's sudden cough this morning. Although it was difficult to choose between the two, now that he had chosen Daozhi, he could only ask Chen Ke to make the sacrifice.
"But with Chen Ke's physical condition, he probably can't go very far down the mountain, right?"
"I'm afraid he's gotten some kind of lucky break and protected himself." Thinking of this, Chen Zhenghong said to his younger brother with a guilty expression, "Zhengxin, it's my fault, but you know that the two brothers are naturally incompatible. When one prospers, the other will decline. I know that Chen Ke is your only flesh and blood, but all the hopes of our Chen family are on Daozhi. We really can't afford to take any risks."
"Brother, stop talking. From the moment I chose Daozhi, I considered him my son. Over the years, I have always regarded Daozhi as my son, and I do not want anything to happen to him. I will send someone to find that rebellious son right now!"
"Brother thanks you, Second Uncle, on behalf of Daozhi. Rest assured, Daozhi will lead the Chen family to even greater heights!"
“I also believe in the Dao,” Chen Zhengxin said before leaving.
No sooner had he left than Pan Weiyin walked in through the side door, her face full of anxiety: "Zhenghong, Zhenghong, is what you just said true? That bastard Chen Ke really ran down the mountain?"
"Stop calling him 'brat,' he's still my second brother's son." Chen Zhenghong scolded his wife, annoyed. What a stupid woman! What would my second brother think if he heard her say that?
"My second brother isn't here, so tell me quickly, is it true?"
“I just sent someone to check, and Chen Ke is indeed no longer on the mountain.”
"He actually dared to come down the mountain? Won't those ghosts tear him apart?"
"Judging from Dao Zhi's condition, Chen Ke should be alive and well." Otherwise, if Chen Ke had died, Dao Zhi should have experienced a great leap forward, with both his cultivation and destiny undergoing a qualitative leap.
He had always wanted to wait until he encountered a bottleneck in his path before using this opportunity.
"Alright and well? No wonder, no wonder Daozhi, who has never caught a cold before, started coughing this morning. It really is that little brat causing trouble! Zheng Hong, you must send someone to bring him back right away. This little brat was born to bring misfortune to our Daozhi. I can't sleep well if he's not under my nose."
"Don't be so alarmed. Zhengxin is gone, and Daozhi has been carefully nurtured by me for so many years. It's impossible that he can't even suppress a Taoist priest from a remote mountain temple. As long as he has all the merits he has, no matter what Chen Ke gets to save his life, it's just a futile struggle. What waves can he make?" After saying this, Chen Zhenghong swung his hands and strode away.
The Xuandao competition is about to begin, and Daozhi must win the first place in this competition to make the Chen family the leader among all families.
The Miao people of Southwest China, the corpse-driving people of Western Hunan, and the tomb-raiding sects of the North—which of these extraordinary individuals and Taoist practitioners isn't arrogant and disdainful of others? If Dao Zhi wants to make a name for himself, he might have to rely on Chen Ke.
After her husband left, Pan Weiyin turned and went to Old Mrs. Chen's room.
Hearing Pan Weiyin's sobbing complaints, Old Mrs. Chen impatiently scolded her, "Cry, cry, all you do is cry! Where is your demeanor as the daughter-in-law of a prominent family?"
“Mother, I’m just worried about Daozhi. You don’t know, Daozhi caught a cold as soon as Chen Ke came down the mountain. You know your grandson, he’s always been healthy and has never been sick. What will happen to him if Chen Ke does this to him?”
