Wang Yao subconsciously looked down at his phone and saw August 21st! He was immediately startled. He had completed his onboarding procedures in the early morning of August 18th. Hu Fei had given him the exact date, down to the second. He had been busy all day on August 18th and had been called by Hua Tuo to get medical treatment that evening.
After leaving the Seventh Affiliated Hospital of Huayi Hospital, he didn't go anywhere else but came straight here. No matter how much he lingered in the Immortal Realm, it should be the 20th now, so how did it become the 21st? What exactly is going on? Could it be...?
Wang Yao, after all, was a man who had received a traditional education. He would think things through and then come to an answer. People say that a day in heaven is equivalent to a thousand years on earth, but it seems that a thousand years is a bit of an exaggeration. One day is more like three days.
He must have spent quite a while in the Immortal Realm, but definitely less than a day, probably only seventeen or eighteen hours. So he must have come out around the night of the 19th or the early morning of the 20th. When he arrived in the Human Realm, it was around 10 a.m. on the 21st.
"Damn, this is so complicated. If you're bad at math, you can't just jump into any field; you'll ruin your brain sooner or later." Wang Yao shook his head, casually putting his phone in his pocket. He needed to keep his phone on at all times; he couldn't put it in the internet cafe, or it would cause trouble if he messed things up.
Sure enough, as soon as he put his phone away, it started ringing. He quickly took it out again and saw that the network was connected. Good heavens, there were a lot of missed calls, most of them from Zhen Huai, and there was also an unknown number that had called him several times.
Wang Yao picked up his phone and dialed Zhen Huai's number. As soon as the call connected, before he could even speak, Zhen Huai started cursing.
"Where have you been, you little brat? Wei Dafa's driver clearly said he'd take you to Fuqiang North Road, which is only a few minutes away from here. How many days have you been walking? Tell me! What have you been doing? I think you took your dad's bankbook with you. Were you up to something bad?"
"You're so young and you're not learning anything good. All you do is fool around all day. If you can't study, you could at least learn a trade or find a proper job. You're always wandering around like this. I just found a whole bunch of... that kind of stuff in your room. You're so young, yet you're looking at that stuff..."
That's why Wang Yao hates Zhen Huai. He clearly went home and even bought Huang Li a pig's trotter, but Zhen Huai didn't even notice? You and Zhang Ying have probably been up to no good these past few days, haven't you? You think everyone else is like you?
You can't see the pig's trotters, but you can see my little collection at a glance? Do you even know what privacy is? You and Zhang Ying were doing that baby-making activity, and I was just watching from the sidelines. What did you think? So what if I watch porn? They're putting in the effort, and I'm just learning. What's the big deal?
I almost got hacked to pieces, you know? Not a single word of comfort, just endless babble. You've angered me, and now you're being set up with Zhang Ying, leaving you all disappointed.
Wang Yao picked at his ear, listening to Zhen Huai's grumbling, but didn't dare to retort. This was the so-called "I'm doing this for your own good, so I'm cursing you"—what a load of moral blackmail! When did I ever ask you to do this for my own good? I'm perfectly fine on my own; why are you worrying about me?
Zhen Huai cursed on the phone, and Wang Yao cursed in his heart. In the end, Zhen Huai was less experienced and finished cursing first.
"Where are you right now? Get back here right now! I have something to say to you!"
"Oh..." Wang Yao didn't mention that he was on Wenming Road to avoid the other person nagging. He simply answered and hung up. After thinking for a moment, he dialed the unfamiliar number back. He didn't make many calls, and it was rare for someone to reach him proactively. He decided to see what the matter was before making a decision.
"Hey, Master Wang, I've finally found you! It's me, Li Zhongxiao, Wei Dafa's driver. Remember me?"
“Master Yin has been acting like a madman these past two days, looking for you everywhere. He’s been to the police station several times. It wasn’t until you were missing for more than a week that the police agreed to look for you. He even filed a police report. He just came back from the newspaper office this morning, saying he wanted to place a missing person ad, but Boss Wei managed to persuade him not to.”
"Nobody reads newspapers these days, right? Boss Wei's idea is that we print our own missing person notices and post them all over the place. If that doesn't work, we can post them all over the world. That should definitely help us find you... Well... I was just on my way to the printing factory. It seems... we don't need to?"
Listening to Li Zhongxiao's rambling on and on, Wang Yao couldn't help but feel a little moved. Although Zhen Huai wasn't a great person, his concern for him was genuine. Hearing Li Zhongxiao address him and Zhen Huai as "masters" also struck him as odd. When had he become a master?
"Of course not, I'm back now. Please tell Mr. Wei thank you for me," Wang Yao said.
"Um... Master Wang, Yunzhi and I would like to invite you to a simple meal," Li Zhongxiao suddenly said hesitantly on the phone.
"A meal? What's up?" Wang Yao was a little surprised when he suddenly heard Li Zhongxiao invite him to dinner.
"It's nothing. Yunzhi and I just wanted to thank you. Although you didn't speak to Yunzhi, I know you must have cast a spell. Also... I have something I'd like to ask for your help with."
Help? Wang Yao frowned. Li Zhongxiao wanted to thank him, but Wang Yao thought it was just polite talk. He wondered if Li Zhongxiao could understand the coincidence he'd used. Wasn't that nonsense? He himself wasn't quite sure. But the matchmaking by the Old Man Under the Moon was incredibly effective; there was no doubt about it.
What kind of help? It seems Li Zhongxiao is still suspicious of me; he's testing me! I can't help him with this; if I do, I'm afraid I'll be plunged into endless trouble.
