Alright, alright!
So that old guy got scamd too.
No wonder he’s not coming back this ti, probably embarrassed to face the Ancestral Master Statue.
When Ning An and Lin Yanke returned to the Daoist Temple, the bench wasn’t even ward up before their chat app rang.
Lin Yanke hesitated for a mont, but still answered it.
Sa tactic, different na. This ti, the identity was a best friend from Lin Yanke’s contact list, using a crude voice changer, anxiously claiming to be in trouble and needing money quickly sent to the bank account provided.
They’re really milking this cow dry!
Ning An grinned widely, wanting to swear but held back:
"Bro, are you addicted to this?"
Uh...
The person on the other end was stunned for a mont, then bashfully said:
"Sorry, dude, I didn’t expect your girlfriend to be so ’simple-minded.’ Normally, with our spiel, two scams is already pushing it."
"To et soone as kind-hearted as her, my team leader said we have to seize the opportunity, so here, I have the script ready for dozens of people from her contact list..."
Lin Yanke was almost driven mad, snatching the phone and angrily shouting:
"You dare scam this aunt! Co on, report your na if you’ve got guts!"
The opponent didn’t hesitate, instead chuckled heartily, even turning off the voice changer, sounding like a guy in his twenties:
"People like us, there’s no turning back. It doesn’t matter if I tell you, my na is Li Ziliang."
Faint jeering could be heard over the phone, as the voice continued steadily:
"I live at xxx, born on xxx, currently at a scam park in xxx. Miss, if you’re angry, don’t think about finding , I’ll hang up myself."
"I sincerely suggest you admit fault, because in a place like ours, logic doesn’t work."
Huh?
Why does this ho address and birth date sound so familiar?
Ning An flipped through the information provided by the old lady earlier and carefully checked, to his surprise, discovering he was the missing son of the old lady!
As the saying goes, a dragon trapped in fire, a phoenix arrives from the north, a noble helps, and the dragon soars in the wild.
So Ning An is that unlucky, pathetic nobleman?
Before Ning An could speak, Lin Yanke, who had also seen the docunts and pieced it together, slamd the papers on the table, gritting her teeth:
"Li Ziliang, you just wait!!"
And before Ning An could react, Lin Yanke had already packed her bags at lightning speed, while Ning An blocked the door with a constipated expression, looking at her:
"Lin Yanke, have you lost your mind? For your family, what’s a little money? Is it worth risking your life at the park?"
Lin Yanke scoffed lightly, tapping Ning An casually on the body.
"What the hell?"
"What the hell!"
The two exclaid at the sa ti.
Ning An and Lin Yanke looked at each other, faces full of disbelief.
"Impossible, Master took everywhere, through countless hardships... You, how is it possible!"
At this mont, Ning An’s expression shifted from shock to understanding.
Now he understood why this little girl acted so high and mighty.
It turns out she has entered the Dao too.
"I see why that old man had to leave half a year ago, making guard this broken temple; it was because of this."
Lin Yanke stood straight up, her expression unusually serious, squinting at Ning An and solemnly said:
"Don’t tell it was so Ancestral Master apparition."
"Did you follow the evil way?"
Following the evil way to enter the Dao reduces one’s lifespan by half, and as Dao achievents deepen, the family, fortunes, and longevity beco more fragnted, simply put, the faster you cultivate, the quicker you die.
In this Dharma Decline Era, except for certain specific nodes or using so evil techniques, it’s practically impossible for anyone to enter the Dao!
"Evil way?"
Ning An sneered: "For soone like destined by heaven, trying to enter the Dao, is that not a piece of cake? You can doubt my character, but never question my ability."
Lin Yanke didn’t quite understand, but she got the gist.
He’s just being cheeky!
"Wait till Master returns, let’s see how you explain yourself."
Tired of arguing with Ning An, since childhood, Lin Yanke has never been a match for Ning An, her convenient senior brother, in bickering.
Just like that, the duo of senior brother and junior sister set off.
Before departing, Ning An specifically asked Captain Wang for Li Ziliang’s photo.
After all, Ning An is sowhat of a favorite at the police station, having helped out quite a bit, so this small favor wouldn’t be any trouble.
To avoid alerting the target, Ning An and Lin Yanke adopted a light travel strategy.
Sporty outfits, backpacks, and clear eyes made them look like university students on their first trip from Dragon Country.
Even so, they couldn’t hide their naturally good looks, combined with the transcendent aura from cultivation, repeatedly attracting bystanders’ attention.
As soon as they got off the plane, a young man with a bare chest and tattoos covering his back blocked their way, enthusiastically slipping a white jade bracelet to Ning An.
"Dear bosses, you are in luck, pairing this with a string of top-quality agate, it’s simply more expensive on top of expensive."
Ning An smiled and declined, smoothly trying to return the item, but as he pushed it back, the tattooed man’s hand suddenly relaxed.
"Crash!"
The jade bracelet fell to the ground with a crisp cracking sound.
"Oh no, my family heirloom!"
"My agate bracelet, with two or three hundred years of history, a treasure passed down from my father!"
With his voice, a few more young n with equally tattooed backs and unfriendly expressions gathered around.
The leader, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, glared at Ning An with a sly smile.
"Heizi, what’s going on?"
The tattooed man nad Heizi pretended to be heartbroken and pointed at Ning An, saying:
"They wanted to forcibly buy my family heirloom, and when I refused at any cost, they beca angry and smashed the jade bracelet my great-grandfather left , which I was saving for my son..."
The leading guy threw his cigarette and then took out a butterfly knife, twirling it flamboyantly, nonchalantly saying:
"Dear bosses, I don’t care how it happened, the point is you broke his family heirloom, so pay up."
anwhile, the surrounding lackeys also closed in,
Ning An and Lin Yanke exchanged a glance, reflecting helplessness mixed with a bit of understanding.
Having deliberately researched travel strategies, they were prepared to be ruthlessly overcharged, yet they hadn’t anticipated it happening so soon.
Ning An feigned anger, stepping forward to argue, but was stopped by Lin Miaoke, who also entered full acting mode.
She took on a resigned attitude, stepping forward to ask:
"How much is this, we’ll compensate."
Hearing this, they glanced at each other, understanding they had encountered a jackpot.
"This bracelet, the jade is truly remarkable, let tell you, you know the Spring and Autumn Period King of Chu, right, he..."
"Stop!"
Lin Miaoke rolled her eyes and decisively said:
"Just say it, how much?"
Heizi excitedly raised a pinky finger, exhaling as he said:
"One million!"
"You’re trying to rob us!"
Ning An was a bit frustrated. A million, did they know how many years he would have to work to earn that? How could they think of sothing like that?!
Lin Miaoke shot Ning An a disdainful look and then casually said:
"Five million."
There was a collective gasp, with Ning An’s gasp being the clearest.
Heizi was almost dumbfounded, trembling as he threw up the number:
"Five...five million Myanmar Kyat?"
Lin Yanke shook her head, lightly saying:
"Five million Dragon Coins."
"On this planet, I don’t wish to asure our Dragon Country citizens with other nations’ currencies."
Heizi imdiately fell to his knees, crying bitterly:
"Damn human traffickers!"
"I recognized you at once, my long-lost dear sister!"
