Chapter 117: In the second round, I’ll treat you to fried pork on bamboo board!
Lin Zhuyue got out of the car, sat in the driver's seat, parked the car as close to the road as possible, locked it, and then followed Yao Hanshuang into the Gong family.
The Gong family's house was quite old, with a front yard. To the north stood a large two-story house, to the west was the kitchen, and to the east was a utility room. Unlike the Shi family's, the front yard was not filled with flowers and plants, but rather with vegetables that could be picked and eaten at any time.
Lin Zhuyue walked along the cobblestone path, crossed the front yard, and entered the two-story house.
There are many old items in the house, but they are kept very clean and well maintained on a daily basis, so they do not give people a dirty and messy feeling, but only show the accumulation of time.
"My aunt and uncle prefer this style."
Yao Hanshuang introduced to Lin Zhuyue,
"But my brother prefers modern houses. He secretly bought a house in a residential area on the island without telling my aunt and uncle, saying he would move out once the house was renovated."
They continued walking north, passed the wooden staircase, and turned left to reach the dining room. A square wooden table was covered with disposable plastic film, on which sat a large sashimi ice tray. Near the edge of the table sat a glass pitcher of blueberry drink.
Yao Hanshuang considerately pulled out a chair for Lin Zhuyue and said:
"Please take a seat, Senior."
Lin Zhuyue didn't sit down directly. She turned around a little nervously, her brows slightly furrowed, and her tone was filled with concern:
“…It feels like someone is looking at me. Eh?”
Lin Zhuyue spotted a few little creatures peeking out from the wall of the restaurant. They weren't "people," but small animals. They looked so cute, even the little snake spitting its tongue didn't frighten Lin Zhuyue.
Lin Zhuyue asked, "Five Immortals?"
"To be more precise, they are the descendants of the Five Immortals of the Hall. They don't yet have the ability to resolve the incident, and are merely being brought along by the Five Immortals to practice."
Yao Hanshuang took out the yogurt and the glass with water droplets still hanging on it, mixed a drink for Lin Zhuyue, and said,
"Although the five immortals who have already been dispatched are also very curious, they are very steady and will not cling to the walls to peek at guests like these little guys."
The little ones quickly slipped away.
Yao Hanshuang handed the blueberry yogurt to Lin Zhuyue:
"Senior, would you like to try it?"
Lin Zhuyue took a sip with a straw and said in surprise:
“It’s delicious.”
"As long as you like it."
Yao Hanshuang placed the tableware in front of Lin Zhuyue and said,
"This ice tray tonight is a bit greasy. If you don't like drinks, you won't be able to handle it."
Lin Zhuyue felt that she might be the king of tolerance for greasy food. The salmon belly melted in her mouth, the horse mackerel was oily and sweet, and the middle of the tuna was sweet and slightly sour... She liked all these sashimi that were easy to get greasy.
Yao Hanshuang sat opposite Lin Zhuyue and asked:
"I heard that the senior sister is a transfer student?"
Lin Zhuyue answered Yao Hanshuang's question:
"Yes, I transferred here last September."
Yao Hanshuang lowered her voice:
“…Then the hexagram matches.”
Lin Zhuyue didn't hear clearly: "...what?"
"nothing."
Yao Hanshuang picked a fatter male sea urchin, handed it to Lin Zhuyue, and asked,
"Senior, do you know anything about Chu Ma Xian?"
Lin Zhuyue took the sea urchin, thanked him, and said:
"Shican, my partner, told me a little bit..."
Yao Hanshuang expressed her impression of Shi Can:
"That's the senior who looks like a vixen."
Lin Zhuyue felt that this description was extremely apt.
Isn't Shi Can a vixen? He's good-looking and very seductive, holding hands and trying to feed her. Lin Zhuyue is really afraid that one day she'll lose her bestial nature and corner him, pinch his waist with red eyes and forcefully kiss him... But it's just a thought; she can't do it.
Lin Zhuyue gave Yao Hanshuang a kind reminder:
"Don't say that to his face, or he'll beat you up, even if he has to write a self-criticism afterwards."
Yao Hanshuang didn't respond——
It’s still unknown who will beat whom.
“I only talked about it a little bit.”
Lin Zhuyue scooped a spoonful of sea urchin and said,
"There are no Chu Ma Xian in this department. What he said and what I saw are not enough for me to understand Chu Ma Xian."
"Most powerful exorcists gather in the Northeast, and most choose to receive education at the North Korean branch schools..."
Yao Hanshuang peeled a piece of golden brick goose liver and said,
"Just like hospitals in Yunnan excel at treating fungal poisoning, hospitals in Guangdong and Guangxi are well-versed in treating parasites... When it comes to teaching the art of shamanism, even the main Spiritual Master Academy can hardly compare to the Korean branch in Yanbian."
Lin Zhuyue tilted his head and asked:
"Then why did you come to headquarters?"
Yao Hanshuang avoided answering Lin Zhuyue's question and continued talking about the spirit medium:
"Senior, do you know? For us disciples to go out, we need not only the Five Immortals, but also Qingfeng and Beiwang."
Lin Zhuyue put down the food in her hand and looked at Yao Hanshuang seriously. She didn't understand these things, but if Yao Hanshuang was willing to talk, she would listen carefully.
"The Five Immortals are animals, Qingfeng is a ghost, and so is the Monument King."
Yao Hanshuang introduced it in an orderly manner.
"The Five Immortals grant their disciples magical powers, allowing them to investigate matters in the upper realm. Qingfeng smooths the relationship between the hall and the lower realm, supplementing the shortcomings of the Five Immortals. The Monument King... When the Monument King is alive, he is usually a disciple who has gone out to perform rituals. After death, he does not reincarnate, but remains in the hall to continue his cultivation and help new disciples who have gone out to perform rituals manage the hall."
Yao Hanshuang smiled and said word by word:
"If the stele is not upright, then the hall is not upright. If the hall is not upright, the life of the disciple will be ruined."
After saying that, Yao Hanshuang turned her head and looked outside the restaurant.
"My brother seems to be back."
Yao Hanshuang stood up and walked outside.
Lin Zhuyue also followed from behind.
The entrance door was already open. Shi Can and Wen Miyan entered first and stood on both sides of the door, waiting for Gong Yongyuan who was still outside.
"Be good, let's go home."
Gong Yongyuan pulled the leash and dragged the reluctant Beagle towards the door, coaxing him as he walked.
"I'll give you a little snack when I get home, and let you gnaw on your favorite duck collarbone, okay?"
Gong Yongyuan coaxed and pulled Beagle into the house, half hard and half soft. After Beagle entered the house, he did not let go of the leash, but turned around to close the door and tightened the lock with a "click".
"Eat a snack?"
Gong Yongyuan's expression changed immediately. He used the hand that was not holding the leash to pick up the slippers from the shoe rack and slapped Bigger's butt. He said,
"I'll treat you to fried pork on a bamboo board! What are you running for? Is weight-bearing race fun? If you think it's fun, I'll find a millstone for you to pull tomorrow!"
Lin Zhuyue was stunned.
Shi Can and Wen Miyan were used to it. Amid the noisy sounds of people and dogs barking, they took out disposable slippers from the shoe cabinet and put them on, then walked towards Lin Zhuyue and Yao Hanshuang.
Shi Chan asked, "Is the sashimi delicious?"
Lin Zhuyue nodded:
“…delicious, and there’s plenty.”
Shi Can and Wen Miyan had been to Gong Yongyuan's house before. They washed their hands as if they were familiar with the place, found some tableware, and sat down at the dining table without any hesitation to enjoy their midnight snack.
After beating the dog, Gong Yongyuan locked it upstairs in the kennel. After washing his hands, he came to the dining table and prepared to eat his midnight snack while cursing in frustration:
"Damn it, stupid dog."
"I tell you, Beagle is not stupid at all."
Shi Can put his elbow on Gong Yongyuan's shoulder and said,
"It's simply poorly compliant and disobedient."
Gong Yongyuan said tiredly, "What kind of life is this?"
Being beaten by his younger brother and being walked by a dog, which kid from a noble family is as unlucky as him?
"Great Immortal, come closer."
Wen Miyan took out an acrylic pen from her bag, waved to Gong Yongyuan, and said,
"The plaster on your face is so silly, let me help you decorate it."
Gong Yongyuan felt something was wrong and planned to run away.
But before he could stand up, Shi Chan held him down.
Wen Miyan drew a Miffy rabbit on the plaster on Gong Yongyuan's right cheek. Encouraged by Shi Can, Lin Zhuyue drew a cinnamon dog on the plaster on Gong Yongyuan's left cheek.
That night, everyone in the Gong family mansion was happy except Gong Yongyuan and the dog.
After enjoying the midnight snack, Gong Yongyuan saw Lin Zhuyue, Shi Can and Wen Miyan off.
Gong Yongyuan hesitated for a long time and called out, "Lin Zhuyue..."
Lin Zhuyue turned around.
Gong Yongyuan shook his head and said, "No, nothing."
When I got home, it was already late.
Lin Zhuyue quickly took a shower, then lay on his back on the bed holding Xiaoyu.
For some reason, her mind was filled with Gong Yongyuan, who had called her and seemed to be hesitant to speak. What had Gong Yongyuan wanted to say to her at that moment? Why did he choose not to say anything?
The next day, Lin Zhuyue went to Mijing Island to participate in the second round of the competition.
The number she drew today was not as high as yesterday, so after drawing the number, she went to the audience seats and watched the game with Shican.
In the third game of the second round, Huo Anan, who was in the same class as Lin Zhuyue, came on the court.
Although Lin Zhuyue was also watching the game yesterday, Huo Anan's opponent surrendered as soon as he came on the court, which resulted in Lin Zhuyue not being able to observe Huo Anan enough.
However, Huo Anan's opponent today will definitely not surrender——
The opponent's name is Miao Yuchen, from Class 1, Grade 5. He is an excellent student with strong abilities and great hope of advancing to subsequent competitions.
Both sides came on the court, the referee stood in the middle of the court and announced the start of the game.
Miao Yuchen took out a bag of seeds and scattered them on the ground.
The seeds took root, grew rapidly, and bloomed beautiful flowers.
This is Miao Yuchen's exclusive spell "All Things Grow". He can use his own spiritual power to drive plants to grow rapidly and even transform them into the form he wants.
The roots of the seed stretched out, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded Huo Anan. After surrounding Huo Anan, sharp thorns grew on the roots of the seed. Dozens of emerald green thorns rose from the ground and stabbed Huo Anan at the same time.
But just when he was dying, a cold silver light flashed beside Huo Anan, cutting off all the spikes.
"Huo Anan's spiritual weapon, the brilliance of the silver moon."
Shi Can sat next to Lin Zhuyue and said,
"'Silver Moon's Radiance' is a metal-like substance that can change form at will under the control of its owner's spiritual power. Besides its transformation capabilities, this substance also possesses the ability to 'purify', possessing a strong restraining effect against filthy things."
After cutting off the spikes, the light of the silver moon turned into liquid, pounced on the ground, and rushed in all directions.
Miao Yuchen had used a lot of spiritual power to spread the dense roots on the ground, but they were being cut through at a terrifying speed.
But plants...are something that will grow back even if you cut them, cannot be burned by wildfires, and will spring up again with the spring breeze.
The roots of the seeds bypassed the light of the silver moon and began to grow again. The vines emerged from the ground, rushed towards the sky, twisted into a strand, and rotated towards Huo Anan right below.
