Chapter 2623: Chapter 2624: Need to Pay More
“I have a friend who works at the service center, and I asked him to check Zhang Youfu’s communication records. There was a phone number that appeared frequently. After checking, we found that the owner is a woman nad Li Fengzhi, a single mom, with a daughter in her twenties, who seems to be a graduate student.”
“Do you think this woman nad Li Fengzhi might be connected to Zhang Youfu?”
“It’s just a guess.” Feng Jiaming’s eyes shifted as he said:
“Brother-in-law, do you have Zhang Youfu’s bank account number?”
“I actually might, because financial transactions are involved; this kind of information is kept on record.”
“That’s great. Give his bank account number, and I’ll ask soone at the bank to check it further.”
“This thod can work!” Chen Yuanxing said, “Let’s head back now.”
“Let’s go!”
Making up their minds, the two prepared to leave.
Ah!
“OH, My God!”
Just as they turned around, Chen Yuanxing collided fully with a blonde-haired, blue-eyed foreign girl, spilling the soda in his hand onto himself.
The woman’s na was Lilith, from Country M.
“Sorry, so sorry, my apologies.”
Chen Yuanxing apologized, “How much is your outfit? I’ll compensate you for it.”
Even though he was the manager of the entire tourist area, Chen Yuanxing usually behaved very humbly.
Only when necessary did he show a ruthless side.
“No problem, I can wash it when I get back.”
Although her Chinese wasn’t very fluent, the woman seed to have a good temperant and didn’t push Chen Yuanxing for more responsibility.
“I really apologize then.”
After saying a few more words of apology, Chen Yuanxing and Feng Jiaming left, not wanting to waste more ti on this matter.
Beside Lilith, there was a male companion nad Hunter.
Both of them were quite young, appearing to be under thirty years old.
He didn’t take issue with the incident either, though his expression was quite serious, barely showing a smile.
From these subtle actions, one could tell the two didn’t seem to be in a relationship.
“This place looks a bit different from the photos Mr. William provided.” Hunter remarked.
“The photos Mr. William provided were taken five years ago, and China’s developnt has been especially rapid in the last few years, so this place is bound to have changed significantly.” Lilith explained.
“With that being the case, finding that item will be even harder.”
“Even if it’s difficult, we must find it!”
“There’s one thing I’m really curious about,” Hunter said.
“Curious about what?”
“Mr. William claid it’s sothing that can change the world. I’m wondering if it really is that amazing?”
Lilith shrugged, “You know, he never lies.”
…
On the other side, for his mission, Lin Yi didn’t refuse anyone’s request.
Anyone asking for an autograph would get it without fail.
The real situation though was a constant pleasant deanor with a grumble in his heart.
He was busy for over an hour, finally sending off all the autograph seekers.
“Junior brother, you’re really sothing. We’re making a killing with this, and in the future, Zhengyi Temple will have no chance against us.”
“Senior brother, I beg you to do so good deeds. Even capitalists wouldn’t pull this kind of stunt.”
“Nowadays, people follow market trends; what I’m doing fits the era’s developnt.” Zhang Youfu looked at his small notebook and said:
“By the way, there’s sothing else I need to tell you: after today’s temple festival ends, you should head down the mountain.”
“Huh? Head down the mountain?”
“Didn’t I say earlier, packages 5999, overnight 10086. Your schedule is booked until two years from now.” Zhang Youfu said:
“Be the groom every night, life with mother-in-laws around every corner is calling to you, better get ready.”
Lin Yi: …
“Hey! Why are there so many Daoist priests here!”
Just as Lin Yi was ready to curse, he suddenly heard the tourists’ exclamations.
Several people looked in the direction of the sound and found more than a dozen Daoist priests entering the Blessed Land Gate.
These people were holding wooden sticks as thick as an arm. If they shaved their heads, they’d be no different from Shaolin Monks.
Besides, Lin Yi saw the woman who ca for a live broadcast yesterday was also here.
Lin Yi frowned slightly. Though there was so distance between them, subtle clues indicated:
The female strear seed to have so relation to Zhengyi Temple.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi put together all the pieces.
The female strear who ca along was likely sent by Zhengyi Temple.
“What’s going on? How co people from Zhengyi Temple are here at our place?” Li Yongnian asked:
“The one leading them seems to be Liu Peng, who was previously scolded by the Master Uncle.”
“Let’s see what’s happening first, no need to rush.” Zhang Youfu said.
Shortly, Liu Peng and Gao Yong saw Zhang Yongfu and Lin Yi and walked towards them.
At that mont, Gao Yong also wore the Zhengyi Temple’s Daoist robe, with a stern expression and sharp eyes, indistinguishable from the others.
And the tourists who ca to burn incense and worship the gods also noticed these sowhat odd people, turning their eyes to focus on them.
“Greetings, Daoist Zhang.”
Liu Peng courteously said, “I am Liu Peng from Zhengyi Temple, my Daoist na is Qingming.”
Zhang Youfu nodded with a smile, looking amiable and kindly.
“I know you.”
“I’m surprised Daoist Zhang knows , such an honor.”
“You were beaten like a dog, barely daring to breathe so days ago by my junior brother. If I hadn’t heard your na, I wouldn’t be fit to be the Shangqing Palace’s abbot.”
Liu Peng: …
You’re bloody depriving bamboo shoots!
“Why have you brought these people to the Shangqing Palace, may I ask?” Zhang Youfu said with a smile.
Liu Peng straightened his expression and said:
“Well today is the Longhu Mountain Temple Festival, our two temples are the longest-standing ones, we should cooperate more, exchange more, so I brought so people over to have a look.”
“There’s nothing wrong with that, but as the old saying goes, each temple has its own god, and here, shouldn’t we do as the locals do?”
“May I ask what Daoist Zhang ans by ‘do as the locals do’?”
“Now you’re at our Shangqing Palace, shouldn’t each of you offer incense? This basic etiquette shouldn’t need repeating, right?”
“You’re right, offering incense is proper.” Liu Peng said with a smile:
“Where’s the incense?”
“Yongnian.”
“Here it is.”
Li Yongnian responded, then brought over a handful of incense.
Liu Peng was about to reach for it, when Zhang Youfu continued:
“Today is the Longhu Mountain Temple Festival, we’re not here for money, just to make friends, 1999 for one stick, three sticks per person, you have twelve people total, 71,964 in total, rounding it up for you, make it 75,000 altogether.”
Lin Yi: ???
Calculated that fast?
How much do you love money!
