Chapter 24



Jing Cheng regretted it after he pulled the person out.

Because he suddenly remembered something very important - this is not the era a hundred years ago when if you just pull someone up on the street and say "You have a unique bone structure, you should follow me to practice Taoism", that person will cry for joy and kneel down on the spot to become your disciple.

At that time, Xuanmen had a high status, and various Taoist sects were very popular with many disciples. Taoist disciples were very popular among the people.

Although Jing Cheng has only been in this era for about half a month, he has learned a lot. For example, although their Taoism has set up a "Taoist Exchange Association", it is essentially under the name of "traditional culture."

As for these heavenly masters, they are not allowed to appear in public. You can catch ghosts and monsters, but you must do it in private and not in front of the public, otherwise it will be feudal superstition.

According to what he learned from hanging out on forums, the vast majority of Taoists now have legitimate jobs in the secular world, and only a few actually live as Taoists.

It is quite difficult for Jing Cheng to change this situation now.

After all, he can only survive by occupying someone else's identity. He doesn't even have his own ID card, and his travel is restricted.

After thinking about it, Jing Cheng realized that it was a very irrational behavior for him to rashly force others to practice Taoism with him.

What if people think he is a lunatic and say he is spreading feudal superstition?

...

...

But he was just letting this good seedling go to waste...

Jing Cheng unconsciously looked at the man standing in front of him. He saw that he had thick eyebrows, handsome eyes, a straight and high nose bridge, strong facial features and clear contours. The extremely slim school uniform showed off his good figure to the fullest, making him look broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted, and handsome and compelling.

"Very good..." Jing Cheng praised repeatedly in his heart and couldn't help but praise it out loud.

He thought that it would be a great honor to have such a handsome and outstanding disciple!

However, the more he looked at this face, the more familiar it looked. But he couldn't remember where he had seen it before. Qin Yan had not entered the Dao, so he should not be the descendant of his former enemy. He must be an insignificant person...

Thinking of this, Jing Cheng couldn't help but look at him again.

Qin Yan: “???”

Qin Yan was almost confused. Why on earth did he follow the other party out?

Just now, Jing Cheng had been looking him up and down with that creepy gaze. For a moment, Qin Yan thought that he was about to be torn to pieces by him (……).

Then the other person said, "Not bad." What's not bad? Is he talking about him?

Being looked at again and again with such a strange gaze, Qin Yan could not help but rubbing his arms, wondering what was going on with that look, and why he suddenly had the illusion that he was facing his grandfather.

After a long while, Jing Cheng slowly said, "You look so radiant, I guess the amulet I gave you before worked." He figured it out, and he absolutely couldn't give up! But he could take a roundabout route and let the other party jump in on his own initiative.

Qin Yan was stunned for a moment. He never expected that he would say such a thing. Shouldn't he say something like "We are so destined to be classmates"?

But... amulet?

Could his lack of nightmares really be related to the amulet he wore around his neck?

Qin Yan unconsciously stroked the yellow cloth bag and hesitated for a moment: "Then... thank you?"

Seeing his wandering expression, seemingly very uncertain, Jing Cheng understood and knew that he should have taken too big a step.

In that case...

Jing Cheng smiled and said, "This should be the second time we meet. I will be studying in this school from now on. Please take care of me." He can take it slowly.

This is normal communication! It's just too polite. Obviously, we can have a deeper communication, Qin Yan thought, but said, "That's for sure. The morning classes are over... Hmm? Is this your luggage?"

He pointed at the two suitcases placed at the door of the classroom and asked, "You haven't gone to the dormitory yet?"

As he spoke, he took a step forward, picked up two suitcases and walked out.

"Follow me." Qin Yan looked back at him and said, "I'll take you to the dormitory. Do you mind?"

Seeing how enthusiastic and proactive he was, Jing Cheng naturally agreed with both hands, and hurriedly followed him, saying, "Of course I don't mind, thank you so much for troubling you."

Qin Yan raised the corner of his mouth: "No trouble."

"Hey, you're such a nice person." Jing Cheng spared no effort to praise him, "When I entered the classroom just now, I thought no one welcomed me."

"How could that be? I welcome you very much."

"I heard that the dormitories here are all double rooms, and I don't really like living in a room with strangers."

"It's okay, you can move in with me."

"That's not good, what about your original roommate?" Jing Cheng said pretentiously. He wanted to live with the other person so that he could influence the other person subtly, but if the other person had a roommate, he couldn't force him to leave, right?

Qin Yan waved his hand and said casually: "Oh, I was the only one living in the dormitory before. You came at the right time! I feel lonely when I am alone."

(Fu Le: It was you who said you had a nervous breakdown and didn’t want to hear another person’s breathing!)

"That's such a coincidence!" Jing Cheng looked "surprised".

Qin Yan laughed, "How else can we say it's fate?"

The two of them walked and talked with their own ulterior motives, and soon, the two figures disappeared from the corridor of the teaching building.

Teacher Zhao and the students who were still waiting in the classroom for someone to come back and introduce themselves: “………………”

Wait, did you forget something?

The midday sun was bright and warm, and the scorching temperature sprinkled on Qin Yan's body. A layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead, and he felt a little hot.

He turned his head slightly and couldn't help but glance at the person next to him.

Jing Cheng's face was completely exposed to the sunlight. It was as white as jade without a single flaw. His facial features were delicate and his long eyelashes were slightly curled up. Occasionally, he glanced over with a smile and a gentle expression.

Qin Yan felt even hotter.

He quickly turned his head to cover up, coughed lightly, and deliberately brought up the topic: "Put your things in the dormitory and come back to pick them up at night. I'll take you to the cafeteria for lunch first. It's time for lunch now, and you should be hungry."

Jing Cheng: "Not hungry." He had eaten breakfast at home and had been in the car for almost the entire morning. He didn't exert much energy and was really not hungry.

Qin Yan was choked by his words and was a little speechless. He originally wanted to introduce the school cafeteria to him, so how could he respond?

Jing Cheng had no intention of chatting with him about trivial things. He had just quietly opened his Yin Eye and was vigilantly patrolling the surrounding environment.

When he came here just now, he sensed a strong yin energy. The compass needle in his pocket was spinning wildly. However, the positive energy unique to students was spread throughout the campus, so he could not find the specific location of the yin energy.

"I heard that Nanming Middle School has been in turmoil in the past year. Did something happen?" Jing Cheng asked casually.

Qin Yan was struggling to find a topic to chat about, but he didn't expect him to ask this question. He was stunned for a moment before saying, "Yes, there is something, but it's just a rumor. Don't take it seriously."

"What's the matter?" Jing Cheng wondered, could it be related to the post he had seen before?

"It's just that a few people couldn't get over it..." Qin Yan hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth, "something happened. Some people said they were cursed."

Jing Cheng asked tentatively, "The Worry-Relieving Shop?"

"You believe this too?" Qin Yan gave him a strange look and said, "I think it's ridiculous."

Jing Cheng: "... maybe not." Is that ridiculous? He believed it.

Qin Yan thought for a while, and suddenly said: "You are very interested in the Worry-Solving Shop... You didn't transfer to this school just because of this, did you?"

Jing Cheng was surprised: "No, why would you think so?"

The reason why he transferred schools was obviously because no school in Xiangyang District was willing to accept him, although he didn't know the reason.

Qin Yan saw that his expression didn't seem fake, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."

Jing Cheng's heart felt like it was scratched by a cat, and he couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

"That worry-solving shop..." Qin Yan paused, recalled, and said carefully: "It's very strange."

"Especially the shop owner, he gave me a very bad impression."

As if thinking of some bad memories, Qin Yan frowned and concluded: "Just... not like a normal person."

Jing Cheng nodded, feeling a little relieved.

People with strong Yang Fire have very strong five senses. Since Qin Yan said so, the problem must be with the shop owner.

Jing Cheng simply asked, "Where is that worry-relieving shop?"

Qin Yan: “…”

After I've talked for so long, you still want to go and see it?

Seeing his insistence, Qin Yan struggled for a while before saying, "Since you insist so much, I'll take you there tonight."
