Kui Kui pursed her lips slightly and tentatively asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"
"I am Yan Shi'an's mother. Little girl, are you An'an's friend?"
Upon hearing this, Kui Kui froze on the spot.
The voice on the phone didn't sound old, so this Yan Shi'an was definitely not Kui Kui's mother.
Could it be someone with the same name?
Before Kui Kui could figure out how to start the conversation, another voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Little girl, where's An'an? Is she busy? Could you ask her if she's coming home for dinner today?"
Kui Kui frowned, quickly gathered her thoughts, and said, "Auntie, you've dialed the wrong number."
"Oh? Oh dear, I'm so sorry!"
“It’s alright, Auntie. It’s quite a coincidence that my mother’s name is also Yan Shi’an. If your voice hadn’t sounded so young, I would have mistaken her for someone else.”
"What a coincidence! If my An'an hadn't just turned twenty, I would have already adopted you as my granddaughter! By the way, young lady, how old are you this year?"
"I am a freshman at China Overseas University."
During their brief conversation, Kui Kui could easily tell that the other woman was a kind and warm-hearted person.
Therefore, she intentionally revealed more information about herself in order to extract more information from the other party.
While it's not good to pry into the secrets of the immortals, Kui Kui wants to find an opportunity to repay them.
Those who are contacted by spirits are either relatives, friends, or enemies.
Of course, Kui Kui believes that the former is more likely to become an immortal.
Moreover, the fact that the other party's daughter had the same name as her mother made Kui Kui realize that there was something more to it.
"Ah! What a coincidence! My daughter is also a freshman at China Overseas University, studying design. What about you?"
"I studied archaeology."
"I have to tell An'an about this, it's so amazing! We've been chatting for so long, and Auntie still hasn't asked your name!"
There was a slight pause on the other end of the phone. "I'm so sorry! Auntie dialed the wrong number and chatted with you for so long. It's okay if you don't want to tell me your name!"
"My name is Kui Kui, Kui as in leader and Kui as in sunflower."
The two chatted for a few more minutes, but Yan's mother, concerned for her daughter, hung up the phone first.
Kui Kui looked at his phone screen, thinking that he must go back to school and get to know Yan Shi'an after the holiday.
She was about to contact Wu Youyou again when Wu Youyou called her.
"Thank goodness, we finally got through! Kui Kui, are you alright?"
"It's okay. The signal was bad outside, and then my phone died. I've sorted things out here, so I came to find you!"
"Great! Let me tell you, this 'Prayer-Fulfilling Temple' may be small, but it's quite popular, and everyone says it's very effective! The surrounding scenery is also nice, it's just that the accommodations are a bit too poor..."
As Kui Kui listened to Wu Youyou's incessant chatter, the corners of his mouth curved upwards more and more.
When Kui Kui left Shangqing Temple, he happened to run into Qingfengzi and Langyue, who were preparing to return to the temple.
Qingfengzi led the way with a dark expression and a belly full of anger.
Langyue smiled apologetically at Kui Kui and followed alongside Qingfengzi.
Kui Kui was steady in nature, but Qing Fengzi was the first to lose his composure.
Looking at the crowds thronging in front of the temple, he stood tall and proud, saying to Kui Kui, "Look how popular our temple is!"
Kui Kui nodded in agreement, saying, "If Grandmaster saw this, he would be very happy."
Qingfengzi was speechless, so he could only grit his teeth and walk into the crowd.
Someone in the crowd recognized Qingfengzi and immediately craned his neck, shouting, "The abbot has appeared! Seize this murderer!"
Before Qingfengzi could react, he was tackled to the ground by a group of people.
Kui Kui frowned slightly, just as he was about to make a move, when Wu Youyou, dressed in a yellow dress, gracefully appeared like an early autumn ginkgo leaf.
"Kui Kui, you've finally arrived! There's a murder case at the temple!"
Her eyes were red as she continued, "My mother also got that deadly talisman!"
"What talisman?"
"Slimming charm".
