Wang Yao rolled his eyes. He felt that there were only two possible outcomes for Hui Shuo going to the South Heavenly Gate. One was that the elevator would not be able to go up at all. Even if it did, it would trigger the barrier of the South Heavenly Gate, just like the foreign god Hua Er broke into the South Heavenly Gate. It would be fine if the elevator did not open, but triggering the barrier would be a bit troublesome.
He could only say he didn't know Hui Shuo; the fake monk found everything new and interesting, and he had just touched him as a joke. He had already prepared his plan in his mind, waiting for Hui Shuo to fail to enter the Immortal Realm so he could go back to Hua Gu and leave.
"Just remember this well, whatever you do, don't go into Wenming Road!" Wang Yao shouted.
The two arrived at the back entrance of the Civilization Building. Hui Shuo followed Wang Yao out of the car and entered the building. Seeing the crowd of people in the lobby, Hui Shuo was also very curious.
"Father, Mother, what are all these people doing?" Hui Shuo asked.
"Waiting to see the idiots who end up on Wenming Road..." Wang Yao replied, then suddenly remembered that he was also one of the idiots who ended up on Wenming Road. He could only cough and change his words, "Anyway, we're just here to watch the show, it's so damn boring."
Wang Yao followed the VIP passage to the elevator door and was surprised to find Hui Shuo following behind him without any cover or obstruction. He also heard no sound of stopping Hui Shuo from entering, which puzzled Wang Yao.
The elevator doors opened, and Hui Shuo and Wang Yao entered together. Wang Yao pressed the button for the 18th floor, and the elevator arrived in no time. Liu Fu was still there, working at his desk.
"Haha, Wang Xian, I knew you were coming! I just gained 10,000 merits, so I'm going to absorb some spiritual energy this time!" Upon seeing Wang Yao, Liu Fu jumped up with a smile, rushed to Wang Yao's side in two steps, and hugged him tightly.
"No, no, is Li Xunhuan coming to see me again today?" Wang Yao quickly pushed him away, turned his head to look at Hui Shuo, then looked at Liu Fu, and found that Liu Fu was very strange, as if he did not see that there was a monk standing next to him. He was very surprised.
"Immortal Wang, you still remember? It was my fault for not informing you beforehand. But you must understand, Immortal Wang. It's not easy for me to make a living at the South Heavenly Gate. Um... how about after you absorb the spirit, I'll treat you to a meal at the Immortal's Love restaurant downstairs? As an apology?" Liu Fu said with a shameless smile.
"What the hell are immortals eating? Don't waste your time," Wang Yao muttered, then went to register.
“Some immortals have this hobby. They don’t need to eat, but they still like to eat. Immortal Wang, you should also try it. The taste of Immortal Love is quite good… Have a good trip…” After registering, Wang Yao looked at Liu Fu and saw him bowing and smiling at him, without mentioning the matter of asking Hui Shuo to register.
Wang Yao, completely bewildered, led Hui Shuo towards the study hall. As they walked, Hui Shuo remained curious, saying, "This is the Immortal Realm? This is the Immortal Realm? It doesn't seem any different from down here..."
"Keep your voice down..." Wang Yao whispered to Hui Shuo. The two of them arrived at Li Shishi's office. Wang Yao looked around. The office doors on both sides of the corridor were closed. The immortals were all busy working and no one paid attention to Wang Yao and Hui Shuo.
He knocked gently on the door, and the office door opened in response. Li Shishi stood in the doorway, frowning as she looked at him. Wang Yao slipped inside.
"How is Xi Fu doing now?" Wang Yao turned around, closed the door, and asked softly.
"You captured him and handed him over to the patrolling general. Shouldn't you know best? Why are you asking me?" Li Shishi glanced coldly at Wang Yao, then turned and sat down behind her desk.
"Don't misunderstand, I just became the matchmaker. How could I have the ability to capture Xi Fu? Old Xi was seriously injured in a fight with the patrolling heavenly general and couldn't survive in the lower realm. He was captured by the patrolling heavenly general on his own initiative. He gave me the merit because he saw that my level was low..." Wang Yao quickly explained.
"Aren't you smug now? Xi Fu is in the Heavenly Prison, and you've gained merit. Why don't you hurry up and absorb some spiritual energy? Why waste your time here? What if Fairy Caixia comes later and you can't explain yourself?"
Li Shishi didn't dwell on Xi Fu's arrest, but she still didn't give Wang Yao a friendly look.
"All I know is that you and Xi Fu are the only ones in the Heavenly Court, so they certainly won't let Xi Fu stay in the Heavenly Prison. That's why I came here to ask if you can help get him out."
Wang Yao said softly. Xi Fu is a wanted criminal of the Heavenly Court. He asked Cai Xia to rescue him, but Cai Xia might not be willing. Even if she agreed, it was obvious that this matter would implicate Cai Xia. But these immortals are all in cahoots with Xi Fu, so they can just stand by and watch him die?
Upon hearing that Wang Yao's purpose was to rescue Xi Fu, Li Shishi's expression softened.
"Xi Fu is currently in the Zhenxie Prison. It's said that he's in good health for the time being. As for how to rescue him, there's no news in the group yet," Li Shishi said calmly. "Also, Wei Zheng asked me to pass on a message to you, thanking you for giving us the information about Yang Shen."
Judging from Li Shishi's lazy tone, she probably wouldn't have bothered to deliver this message for Wei Zheng if it weren't for Wang Yao's intention to save Xi Fu.
"It's nothing, that's what I promised Lao Xi." Wang Yao shook his head, not caring about Li Shishi's attitude. Since the Xiankou group was not making any moves for the time being, he didn't plan to stay any longer.
"Um, could you leave your phone number here? If Xi Fu needs any help, just let me know," Wang Yao said to Li Shishi, pulling out his interface.
"Why do you want to save Xi Fu? I see you're quite averse to our Xiankou Group, aren't you?" Li Shishi glanced at Wang Yao's interface panel, then looked up and asked.
“I really don’t want to get involved in your Xiankou affairs, but Xi Fu is different. Although his arrest has little to do with me, I still feel uneasy about it, especially since he gave me a lot of merit. That’s just how I am; I can’t stand it when others are nice to me…” Wang Yao smiled slightly.
