"Are you Wang Yao? The current Matchmaker?" the immortal asked.
"Not bad." Wang Yao nodded with a smile.
"What...what are you going to do in Taiqing Immortal City?" The immortal put down his iPad and asked again.
"I'm going to the Heavenly Court's Supply Department to retrieve the interface panel. The last one was destroyed in the Underworld," Wang Yao replied with a smile, showing no impatience.
"Uh..." The immortal blinked a few times, seemingly a little stunned.
"Um... can I leave now?" Wang Yao asked, pointing to the earthen platform.
"Of course, of course..." The immortal came to his senses, nodded hurriedly, and stood up to come to the earthen platform with Wang Yao.
"There's a Six Realms Restaurant in Taiqing Immortal City. I wonder if the Old Man of the Moon knows about it?" the immortal asked suddenly as he walked with Wang Yao.
"I've heard of it." Wang Yao nodded.
"That restaurant has a dish called 'Heart-Scratching Noodles,' which is really delicious. I suggest you try it if you have time," the immortal said to Wang Yao with a smile.
"Heart-scratching noodles?" Wang Yao lost his appetite upon hearing the name. As an immortal, he didn't need to eat, which he quite liked. He didn't have any particular thoughts after hearing the immortal's words.
Having gained experience using the teleportation array, he went directly to the center of the earthen platform. The invisible Hui Shuo followed closely beside him. The immortal paced around the earthen platform for a few steps when suddenly a burst of red light erupted from the platform, accompanied by a loud "Uli ulli" alarm sound.
The immortal was startled and quickly stopped, looking around at the earthen platform. Wang Yao's heart stirred slightly, guessing that Hui Shuo had entered the teleportation array, and the array had sensed it and issued a warning.
"Um, is there something wrong with the teleportation array? If it needs repair, I'll just use another interface as an intermediary."
As Wang Yao spoke, he stepped away from the earthen platform. He paid a brief look and, sure enough, as soon as Hui Shuo left the range of the teleportation array, the alarm and red light disappeared as well.
"No need, no need. Ever since the teleportation array was requisitioned by the Heavenly Court, it has hardly been used and has been idle. Perhaps there is some problem. You wait here, and I will go and ask a professional immortal to repair it." As the immortal spoke, without waiting for Wang Yao's reply, he flashed away and teleported away.
"Hui Shuo, I guess it's because you're a mortal and can't use the teleportation array that it triggered the alarm," Wang Yao hurriedly turned to Hui Shuo and said.
"Then what should we do?" Hui Shuo asked blankly.
“Well… it’s like when I went into that study hall to absorb spiritual energy, it’s just a matter of going in and out. Why don’t you wait for me nearby? I’ll go to Taiqing Immortal City to get the interface board and come over as soon as possible, okay?” Wang Yao discussed with Hui Shuo.
Since the incident involving the severed finger, Wang Yao has never mentioned asking Hui Shuo to leave him again. Whether in the underworld or the immortal realm, he has always kept Hui Shuo by his side. Hui Shuo's fear that his parents would abandon him has greatly diminished, so he did not object to Wang Yao's suggestion.
He blinked and looked at the mound of earth in front of him, nodded, and pointed to "Xian Ye Ai" not far away: "I'll wait for you over there, okay?"
"Okay, but don't stray too far, otherwise it won't be good for me to come out... It's alright, this broken city isn't very big, it'll be easy to find you. Just be careful not to run into any immortals. You're invisible right now, if you run into an immortal, it'll cause a big fuss and add a lot of trouble."
Wang Yao wanted to remind Hui Shuo not to go too far, but when he looked up, he could see the entire Tiannan Immortal City at a glance. No matter where Hui Shuo went, it was only a few steps away. So he let him go, but he was afraid that he would bump into an immortal and cause unnecessary trouble.
"I understand." Hui Shuo nodded obediently. "I won't go far, I'll just stay here and chant scriptures while I wait for you."
"Okay, good boy, I'll bring you some heart-scratching noodles when I get back." Wang Yao said with a satisfied smile, and before he knew it, he had mentioned the heart-scratching noodles.
“Great!” When it came to food, Hui Shuo’s eyes lit up. Although he wasn’t hungry in the Underworld, he ate mostly convenience food, which he was already tired of. After leaving the Underworld, Wang Yao was busy absorbing spiritual energy and leveling up, and hadn’t had time to find food for Hui Shuo.
The spiritual energy in this immortal realm is abundant. Although Hui Shuo is a mortal, he can breathe in the omnipresent spiritual energy and his hunger is not too strong. However, he is used to eating three meals a day and his cravings are still nagging at him. He just keeps quiet because he is afraid that Wang Yao will get angry.
At this moment, Wang Yao took the initiative to mention his heart-wrenching pain, and Hui Shuo nodded repeatedly, unable to help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Seeing Hui Shuo's expression, Wang Yao realized that he hadn't prepared any food for Hui Shuo for quite some time, and felt a little ashamed. Just as he was about to take out some money to "Xian Ye Ai" to buy some food for Hui Shuo, he saw a flash before his eyes and three immortals appeared.
One of them was the immortal who had just left and was guarding the teleportation array. Wang Yao didn't recognize the other two. The three of them were whispering among themselves when they appeared.
"What's the rush?" one of the immortals muttered, displeased.
"It's just one immortal? Can't you wait until we finish the sixth lap before coming?" The other immortal also looked impatient.
"You two are so ignorant. This Old Man of the Moon went to Taiqing Immortal City to deal with a tribulation. The teleportation array malfunctioned, and instead of coming to repair it in time, you were playing mahjong there. If the higher-ups find out about this, you two will be in big trouble," the immortal guarding the teleportation array whispered.
The three fell silent upon seeing Wang Yao. Wang Yao remained calm, pretending not to hear, and gestured to Hui Shuo to stand further away.
"Go up and try again." The newly arrived immortal took out something that looked like a pocket watch, waved it at the earthen platform, and turned to Wang Yao.
