He gazed at the night sky, his heart surging with emotion, and before he knew it, dawn had broken. Wang Yao hurriedly called for Hui Shuo to get up, but to his surprise, there was no response even after several calls. He thought to himself, "Even if this fake monk is sleeping in, he can't be sleeping this soundly, can he? And I was already quite loud."
As he walked to the bedside in confusion, he discovered that Hui Shuo's face was flushed and he had a high fever. Oh no! The fake monk is sick! I have to rush to attend a meeting today. What am I going to do?
"Hey! Huagu, help! Huagu..."
"Damn it! You've only been an immortal for a few days? You're always coming here begging for help. Let me tell you the truth, if it weren't for a fairy like Caixia helping you this time, you'd be back to being a mortal. Nobody's as troublesome as you..." Hua Gu exploded when he heard Wang Yao begging for help again.
"It wasn't me, it was a monk..."
"No... why the hell did you go and provoke a monk again? Let me tell you, the relationship between Heaven and the Buddhist Kingdom is quite complicated, you..."
"It's not that complicated, he's just a fake monk. Yesterday I went to do a mission for Caixia, you know, the widower mission... Ugh, it's hard to explain over the phone, you'd better come and rescue him quickly!"
"Where are you?" Hua Gu, being a doctor with a compassionate heart, didn't hesitate after hearing the words "saving lives" and directly asked Wang Yao's location.
"I'm in Cai Du..."
"Damn it! Why did you go so far away? There's a meeting tomorrow, are you planning to use me as a human vehicle?" Upon hearing that Wang Yao was in Caidu, Huagu exploded again.
Wang Yao pleaded with Hua Gu over the phone before he reluctantly agreed.
"You stay there and don't go anywhere. I can't jump over it in one go; I'll have to jump several times," Hua Gu muttered as he hung up the phone.
While tending to Hui Shuo, who had a high fever, Wang Yao kept using wet towels to cool him down, all the while waiting for Hua Gu. As dawn broke, the streets began to fill with people, and Wang Yao saw that Tang Meifeng and Ni Zhenlu had left the residential area early in the morning, seemingly heading back to Xiangyun.
In Wang Yao's eyes, Ni Zhenlu had changed drastically. First, the shadow that had enveloped his entire body was gone. Second, the long bunch of keys at Ni Zhenlu's waist was also gone. Wang Yao saw Tang Meifeng carrying a small bag, and with his magical senses, he could faintly hear the clinking of keys coming from inside the bag.
Hearing the sound, Wang Yao couldn't help but nod in approval. Tang Meifeng was indeed reliable. In just one night, she had seized Ni Zhenlu's wealth and power. Looking at Ni Zhenlu, he didn't seem dejected at all, but instead looked spirited and as if he had become several years younger.
It seems that getting rid of the possessing monster last night and receiving the nourishment of rain and dew has been very beneficial to this person's body and mind. May you live a good life and may this virtuous couple have a son soon and grow old together!
Silently wishing the couple who had gone through so much hardship well, Wang Yao was surprised to hear a knock on the door. He opened the door and welcomed Hua Gu in. He checked the time and realized that Hua Gu was indeed a seasoned veteran. The journey that would take ten hours by high-speed rail had taken him less than an hour.
After briefly reviewing Hui Shuo's situation, Hua Gu nodded.
“Let’s go to Yunling first, and then treat this kid’s injuries when we get there,” Hua Gu said.
"Isn't the meeting tomorrow? Why are you in such a hurry to go to Yunling?" Wang Yao asked, somewhat puzzled.
"So you know there's a meeting? Don't we have to report before the meeting? Reporting a day in advance is a hard and fast rule. I'm not doing this for you; I'm already at the Yunling Hotel playing cards with Lao Sun and the others," Hua Tuo said angrily.
"Huh? There's such a rule?" Wang Yao was taken aback, thinking to himself that the fat Hu Fei was irresponsible. He hadn't even explained such an important matter to him. Wasn't missing the report the same as missing the meeting? It was like a war. If everyone was already on the battlefield and you were only just arriving at the camp, wouldn't that cause a major disaster?
Wang Yao hurriedly left the room and, as Hua Gu had instructed, held the drowsy Hui Shuo in his arms. Hua Gu pressed one hand on Wang Yao's shoulder and muttered something, which Wang Yao couldn't quite understand, but it seemed that the word "jump" was always repeated in the muttered words.
Immediately afterward, Wang Yao felt a blur before his eyes, and when he opened them again, he found himself in an unfamiliar place. Before he could even catch his breath, his vision blurred again, and the scenery around him changed once more.
After jumping two or three times, Hua Gu stopped in a misty mountain and told Wang Yao that he needed to rest. Even an old immortal like Hua Gu felt a bit overwhelmed by the continuous long-distance teleportation carrying two people.
Wang Yao felt pretty good. This thing was similar to fast-forwarding through a movie before he time-traveled. The movie was long-winded, with one action lasting for tens of minutes. When Wang Yao got impatient, he would drag the progress bar forward. The feeling of teleportation was somewhat similar to that.
When the progress bar is sliding, the screen remains still. Once the progress bar stops and playback resumes, the screen instantly transforms into a different move.
Teleportation works similarly. He was still in front of the inn where he was staying when, in the blink of an eye, he stopped, blinked, and his surroundings transformed into lush, verdant mountains and fields.
Wang Yao saw Hua Gu standing silently by the cliff with his hands behind his back. In the distance, he heard what sounded like a car horn coming from below the cliff. Curious, he put Hui Shuo down and walked over to Hua Gu. He saw a winding mountain road built below the cliff, resembling a long snake.
Cars lined up one after another on the road, crowding the winding mountain road, as if a car show was being held below or a slow-speed race was taking place. Car horns blared incessantly, and some people scurried around the cars like ants, doing who-knows-what.
