"Hey! Are you out of your mind? You don't even know how you got from Xiangyun City to Caidu?"
"Yes... I just feel incredibly tired..."
"Look at your shoes, they're all ripped. I didn't realize you were so fit. From Xiangyun to Caidu, that's a full marathon, isn't it? You look exhausted. If you're not tired, you're an Ironman! Tell me, what time did you start running from Xiangyun?"
"I...I really can't remember...I must have been possessed, why would I run to the City of Colors?"
"What are you saying? If you hadn't come to Caidu, how would you know me? Remember this: Tang Meifeng, a good person from Caidu. Otherwise, you'll be living on the streets."
"That's true, that's true..."
Are you planning to run back to Xiangyun tonight?
"No... I can't even stand up right now. Do you know any hotels around here? I'll stay here for the night and go back tomorrow."
"Staying in a hotel? You're quite rich, aren't you? If you have money, give it to Cai Du, a good person. What are you doing at the hotel? Come home with me and take a good shower. Look at you, you smell like sweat, it's suffocating. Change your dirty clothes right away, I've washed them all for you, otherwise you won't be able to wear them tomorrow. What? You don't want to?"
"No... I'm afraid I'll disturb your home..."
"Don't bother me. It's just me and my dad at home. My husband just died. I was planning to sell the furniture and house and go back to Huadu with my dad. He likes to hang out with those old ladies in Huadu, which annoys me. Now that I'm bringing a man back, he'll be so happy."
"This..., your home is around here?"
"Yeah, who would go out all the way out at night for barbecue?"
“I advise you not to sell the house. The house prices in Caidu have been rising recently, and this area is in a bustling downtown area. If you wait another two years, the house prices will probably more than double.”
"I didn't realize you were so knowledgeable. Tell me all about it tonight."
"Father, Mother, I...I'm sleepy, I want to sleep..." Wang Yao followed Tang Meifeng and Ni Zhenlu from a distance, activating his immortal magic to sense them, and was eavesdropping enthusiastically when Hui Shuo beside him started muttering pitifully again.
"Stop messing around!" Wang Yao scolded Hui Shuo. He watched as Tang Meifeng and Hui Shuo turned into a residential area. He stood there with a furrowed brow, wondering how he could get the system reward when it still hadn't arrived.
Are we just going to wait for Tang Meifeng to meet those three conditions?
This doesn't make sense! Take the first point, for example. Do we have to wait until Ni Zhenlu is dead but Tang Meifeng is still alive before we can issue the reward? How many years would that take? And the third point, Tang Meifeng controls Ni Zhenlu's family, that would take several years too, right? This... Heavenly Court's missions shouldn't be like this!
"Father, Mother, I'm so sleepy!" Hui Shuo muttered again.
“Liang Hui said, first of all, I am not your parents, you have mistaken me for someone else. Secondly, you are already a glorious monk, you should be traveling the world to seek alms from benefactors, you can’t just cling to one person, can you? How much is that amulet of yours? I’d like to buy one, but let’s make it clear beforehand, it can’t be too expensive…”
Looking at Wang Yao in the darkness, Hui Shuo burst into tears. These were truly his own parents. They still remembered their son's name and were still concerned about the Buddhist amulets he wanted to sell. It seemed that all the hardships he had endured today were his parents testing him.
Seeing how I keep saying I need to eat and sleep, and how my parents didn't eat a single bite of that barbecue, they must be angry. They bought the amulet and now they don't want me anymore...
"Hey! Speak properly, why are you crying? What monk cries like you every day?" Wang Yao saw that Hui Shuo was staring at him without saying a word, just kept shedding tears, and immediately felt uneasy.
"Father, Mother, it's my fault. I don't want to eat, I don't want to sleep. Please don't leave me, okay?" Hui Shuo cried as he pitifully spoke to Wang Yao.
Wang Yao scratched his head, utterly speechless. This fake monk was really going to stick with him. Where the hell had he shown any sign of being easily fooled? He hadn't even bought a single Buddhist amulet! Why was this kid suddenly claiming to be his parents? Was he expecting him to support him for the rest of his life?
At this thought, Wang Yao couldn't help but shudder. He hadn't even gotten married yet, and he already had such a grown son. How was he going to explain this to Caixia? Besides, he only earned 400 yuan a month. How could that be enough to support his son?
What... what the hell is this fake monk plotting? Why is he so fixated on me?
Wang Yao's mind raced. Hui Shuo saw his expression in the darkness shift between ferocity, suspicion, and anxiety. He knew that this was a critical moment, and whether or not his parents would abandon him was entirely up to them.
He walked up shakily, his body went limp and he collapsed at Wang Yao's feet, grabbing Wang Yao's leg and bursting into tears again.
Wang Yao sighed. Looking at the sky, it was indeed too late. It didn't seem appropriate to just leave the fake monk here.
After all, we went through a dangerous situation together, and I still can't bear to do it. Oh well, let's just consider the money spent on this kid as incense offerings to the Bodhisattvas of Xiangyun City.
The Bodhisattva in Xiangyun City sneezed. What the hell does that have to do with me?
"Get up." Wang Yao pulled Hui Shuo up and walked into a small hotel not far away. They asked for a room. Not to mention that Ni Zhenlu looked like a beggar, Wang Yao and Hui Shuo had been busy all day and were not much better off.
Once inside the room, Wang Yao told Hui Shuo to take a shower first. He then used a magical technique to cleanse himself, instantly making his entire body look brand new inside and out. The room's window faced the gate of the residential complex where Tang Meifeng lived. He listened to the pattering water in the bathroom and leaned against the window, gazing at the complex across the street.
