Kui Kui took out his phone, looked up the official service number of Minghe Temple, and after some effort, contacted Xuancheng Daoist.
She explained the purpose of her call, and Master Xuancheng quickly gave a positive reply.
He asked for Feng Dan's birth date and time, then hung up the phone.
Mang Wei and Mo Ye were somewhat embarrassed. Mang Wei lowered her head and ate her cake to cover up her awkwardness.
Mo Ye felt a pang of nausea; there was no place for him at the entire table, so he could only stand there as a backdrop.
Kui Kui, however, thought it was perfectly normal; everyone has their own area of expertise.
Immortals simply live longer than humans, but living longer doesn't necessarily mean they know more.
Moreover, both of them had been imprisoned in snake coffins before.
Just then, Kui Kui's phone rang.
"So fast?" Mang Wei looked up abruptly, her lips still smeared with cream.
"no."
The caller ID showed Chen Haiguo.
Kui Kui answered the phone.
"Uncle Chen."
"Great, you finally answered the phone. Xiao Jiang said you've been in some trouble?"
"Everything's taken care of. Uncle Chen, is there a case you're looking for?"
Chen Haiguo smiled awkwardly and said, "It's not a case. Can't I just come and show some concern for you?"
"I'm fine. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now." Kui Kui was worried that Xuan Cheng Dao Ren wouldn't be able to get through to her later.
"No, no, no! Can't you let me exchange a few pleasantries? I have something urgent! But it's not a case, it's a friend of mine who's run into some trouble at home, and I was wondering if I could ask you for a favor?"
"Of course. But not right now, I'm waiting for a phone call."
"How about tonight? I'll invite my friends over for dinner?"
"good."
Kui Kui hung up the phone, and an unfamiliar number called in.
"Hello."
"It's me."
"Master Daoist? Is there a result?"
"I can't figure it out. I can't help you with this." After saying that, Master Xuancheng hung up the phone.
Xuan Cheng sighed, unsure whether what he was doing was right or wrong.
Mang Wei and Mo Ye, with their exceptional hearing, also heard the result.
Mang Wei put down her fork and tentatively asked, "How about I have everyone from the Mang family try? If that doesn't work, I can go to the Chang family. They're good at this. I don't know about others, but Chang Laoliu should be willing to help."
Kui Kui nodded and looked at Feng Dan, saying, "I'm sorry, we haven't found any clues yet."
Feng Dan's eyes reddened slightly as she said, "It's...it's alright. I'm really grateful for your kind help! If we really can't find it, it's just my bad luck. I just wanted to ask if there's any way to avoid dragging others down with me."
“I’m not afraid of bad luck myself, but I don’t want my parents and friends to suffer bad luck with me. I’m willing to do things like vegetarianism and chanting Buddhist prayers.”
"Your luck has been severely depleted, and the merits you accumulate through vegetarianism and chanting Buddhist prayers cannot make up for it."
"No wonder, I recite the Heart Sutra every day, but it's no use at all." Feng Dan's eyes were red, and she managed a forced smile.
Mang Wei comforted her, "How could it be useless? Didn't you run into my sister? At least you haven't had any more bad luck today, right? Eat something first, and then come with me. There are so many people in my Mang family, I refuse to believe that none of them can help you!"
"If this succeeds, it will be a great deed! We haven't even surrendered yet, how can you admit defeat first?"
"Mm." Feng Dan nodded. "Thank you, thank you so much! It's so wonderful to have met you all."
After afternoon tea, Xia Menglu and Wu Youyou dragged their suitcases back to school, while Wang Duoyu went home.
Feng Dan then followed Mang Wei.
Mang Wei drank some alcoholic beverages, hugged Feng Dan, and kept calling her "egg" repeatedly. She walked with a wobbly gait.
If it weren't for Fengdan supporting him, he might have fallen into the ditch.
Mang Wei waved to Kui Kui and said, "Sister, leave Dandan to me, don't worry. I'll take good care of her."
Feng Dan's face was flushed, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking, but the smile on her lips was genuine.
Kui Kui smiled and nodded, then waved to the two of them.
"I wonder who's taking care of whom!" Mo Ye muttered to himself.
Kui Kui looked at him, her gaze scrutinizing him.
Mo Ye noticed her gaze, paused for a second, and quickly said, "What's wrong? I have nowhere to go, so I can only follow you. You can't leave me behind!"
Kui Kui didn't answer, but instead asked, "Are you alright?"
"What could possibly happen to me?" Mo Ye answered instinctively, then his heart skipped a beat.
Mo Ye: Have we been discovered?
"You didn't eat anything. Did you eat too much earlier and feel unwell?"
Mo Ye abruptly changed the subject, asking, "Didn't you make an appointment? Did he come?"
As they were talking, a stretched Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled up in front of the coffee shop, attracting the attention of passersby.
Chen Haiguo got out of the car, followed by a middle-aged man in a sharp suit.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Kui Kui." Chen Haiguo glared at the man behind him. "Serves you right for showing off. This nine-meter car is having trouble even turning a corner!"
The man chuckled awkwardly, "I was just trying to show respect."
"This must be Master Kui, right? He's quite young and promising. Please get in the car."
Mo Ye's face darkened. He hadn't expected that there were people in this world with even worse eyesight than him.
"My name is Mo Ye, and I am Kui Kui's...fiancé."
He originally wanted to say husband, but felt it was inappropriate, so he used fiancé instead.
After he finished speaking, he nervously observed Kui Kui's reaction.
