After Cao Daxian left, Hu Dalu shamelessly started pestering Zhao Youliang again, his only goal being to get him to "settle things" for him.
Zhao Youliang originally did not want to agree, he was extremely reluctant.
But what could be done was that the mainland was giving them just too much—a whopping 66,000 yuan.
They also promised to give him a big red envelope of 8,800 yuan if the matter was handled well.
Even with such a generous reward, who is Zhao Youliang?
That is, wealth and honor cannot corrupt, poverty and hardship cannot sway... If you don't sway, you might as well sway...
Having been terrified of poverty, Mr. Zhao immediately changed his mind and decided to accept this large order!
Actually, the main reason for "taking the order" was that the gentleman's calm and gentle voice rang in his ears.
"Quantum promised him that everything goes through free cause and effect, and he would understand in the future."
Upon hearing the man's voice, Zhao Youliang was overjoyed.
However, there were other people around, so he didn't dare to show too much.
He could only snatch the thick wad of cash from Hu Dalu while nodding repeatedly.
"Since you're so sincere, I'll go over and take a look tonight."
"But let's make this clear beforehand: if an evil spirit is seeking revenge, I won't force my way in."
"At most... at most I'll help you talk to them!"
Hearing Zhao Youliang's words, Hu Dalu was very disappointed, but he could only reluctantly accept it.
Having a glimmer of hope is better than utter despair, after all, what happened back then... sigh!
After seeing Chen Wei and Hu Dalu off, Qi Zhigang also left.
He simply instructed Zhao Youliang to find a way to save "Xiao Ming" when he had the time.
That child is suffering so much, so pitiful...
In truth, Zhao Youliang also felt that he owed another boy a debt.
Therefore, he nodded in agreement, indicating that he would do his best.
When only Zhao Youliang, Egg Boy, and Grasshopper Spirit remained in the private room, Zhao Youliang spoke softly with anticipation on his face.
"Sir, are you still there?"
Unfortunately, the gentleman did not answer Zhao Youliang, indicating that he had already left.
Disappointed, Zhao Youliang was about to tell Egg Boy that "the gentleman had just come by" when he was shocked to find Chang Jie, the grasshopper spirit, and the big yellow dog kneeling on the ground and kowtowing repeatedly.
Of course, he wasn't kowtowing to Zhao Youliang, but to the gentleman who had already left.
The reason for this certainty is that all three who kowtowed received a gift from the master.
Chang Jie received a "vest," a vest covered in spikes.
In this way, the magical Chang family egg transformed from a bare egg into a hedgehog egg.
The big yellow dog received a "dog bowl," a shiny silver dog bowl.
As for its specific use, Zhao Youliang cannot see it at the moment.
But what the gentleman gave was no ordinary gift.
Even the grasshopper spirit received a brand new whip made of an unknown material.
It made a whistling sound even without being swung in his hand.
It's like a raging storm, the kind where we stand on the rooftop and whip the wind around.
Seeing the Dog Egg duo and the Grasshopper Spirit who had obtained the treasure, Zhao Youliang suddenly felt that the hundred-yuan bill in his hand wasn't so appealing anymore...
Although he dared not criticize the gentleman, Zhao Youliang couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.
It's like a child with the same parents seeing all the other siblings get new toys while you don't.
Although Chang Jie doesn't seem very smart, he is very understanding.
Guessing what Zhao Youliang was thinking, she immediately floated into his arms.
First, he lit a cheap cigarette and stuffed it into Zhao Youliang's mouth with a "puff" before he began to persuade him.
"Quantum, don't overthink it. The reason the master isn't giving you treasures isn't because he doesn't like you, but because he has higher expectations for you."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Youliang immediately asked, "Is...is that so?"
"Why is it like this, Egg Boy, tell me properly."
Chang Jie comes from a family with a strong academic tradition, so he can certainly appreciate the teacher's good intentions.
"Cultivation is about cultivating oneself and walking the path under one's feet."
"On this path, you can only rely on yourself to take one step at a time, steadily and practically."
"As for treasures... they're like electronic calculators in math class. You can use them to cheat in normal times, but you can't use them during exams."
"Therefore, for those of us who cultivate ourselves, the most important thing is to hone our own skills."
Chang Jie paused here, and only continued speaking after seeing that Zhao Youliang had regained his spirits.
"Besides, you already have quite a few treasures: the young general's sword, Uncle Faceless's sword, as well as prayer wheels, scripture armor, human bone rosaries..."
"Plus the scales my father, mother, and stepmother gave you... you can't possibly use them all."
"Actually, having too many treasures is not a good thing. It's like a poor student having too many stationery items; it can only distract them."
Chang Jie's words not only soothed Zhao Youliang's disappointment but also pointed him in the right direction for cultivation.
After understanding, Zhao Youliang nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would try not to rely on magical artifacts in the future... unless he couldn't beat the opponent.
......
The barbecue restaurant was exceptionally busy tonight, so much so that even at 2 a.m., several tables were still occupied by customers who refused to leave.
He continued shouting loudly and drinking beer in large gulps.
There's no reason to turn away customers when you're running a business, so Zhao Youliang, Sister Yingchun, and Li Mao sat at the empty table next to them to keep them company.
While eating dumpling soup and chatting, they occasionally dealt with guests who were clearly drunk.
Of course, Zhao Youliang had already closed the door according to the rules and lit incense for the last remaining coffin before that.
Speaking of the coffin, Zhao Youliang suddenly remembered what Zhao Fei had promised him.
The other "magical" being that Uncle Zhao mentioned was not someone who went to conquer foreign tribes with Mr. Zhao.
Now that the gentleman has returned, the other person should also be back by now.
It seems that the time when I can completely get rid of this evil shop is definitely not far off.
Upon realizing this, Zhao Youliang became extremely excited and subconsciously asked Yingchun's sister-in-law.
"Sister, if one day we can leave this place, where would you like to go?"
Upon hearing Zhao Youliang's words, the mature and charming widow thought he was implying that she wanted to "fly together as a couple," and her cheeks immediately turned red.
She spat lightly and then spoke with a hint of shyness.
"If I had time to travel, the place I would most like to go is Jiuhua Mountain in Anhui."
“I’ve heard from others that the scenery there is exceptionally beautiful, and I’ve always wanted to go and see it… He also promised me that he would take me there.”
"pity......"
The "he" that Yingchun's sister-in-law was referring to was her deceased husband.
Although the pretty widow didn't say it out loud, Zhao Youliang had already guessed it.
However, Zhao Youliang didn't get jealous unnecessarily; instead, he comforted her and replied.
"Yes, I've also heard that Jiuhua Mountain in Anhui has beautiful scenery, and it's also the sacred site of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva..."
