Lu Heng checked out of the hotel room, officially preparing to start his tour around Dragon Country.
However, before he could leave the hotel, his phone suddenly rang again.
"Looks like from now on, I must turn off my phone before doing anything!"
He thought it was sothing from the Religious Affairs Bureau again, but when he took out his phone and looked, he was stunned.
The caller ID showed a na both unfamiliar and familiar...
Yang Qingshu!
Lu Heng was dazed for quite so ti before he rembered who this person was.
His master Xuan Cheng seed to have taken on four disciples.
Besides him and Qingyue, there were two senior brothers above them.
The eldest disciple, with the Taoist na "Qingyun," left Dragon Tiger Mountain more than ten years ago.
Qingyun was determined to travel all over the country and visit every Taoist temple he could.
But in less than three years after leaving the mountain, he vanished without a trace.
Later, it was heard that he married and had children out there; no one knew how he was living these years, not even those on Dragon Tiger Mountain.
Moreover, since he left Dragon Tiger Mountain so early, Qingfeng didn’t have much impression of this senior brother.
The second disciple, with the Taoist na "Qingshu," was originally nad Yang Qingshu.
Unlike Qingyun, Qingfeng, and Qingyue, Qingshu wasn’t an orphan.
Qingshu’s parents were old friends with Xuan Cheng, and since Qingshu was frail and sickly as a child, he was entrusted to be raised in Shangqing Tao.
It wasn’t until he was accepted into a university that Qingshu left Dragon Tiger Mountain.
By that account, Qingfeng hadn’t seen him for several years either.
After all, Qingfeng was a hobody on Dragon Tiger Mountain, rarely descending it.
"Why is this second senior brother calling ?"
Lu Heng answered the phone with great perplexity.
"Hello? Qingfeng? It’s your second senior brother!"
On the other end of the line ca a hearty and deep voice.
"Hello, second senior brother!"
Lu Heng greeted him with a smile.
"Qingfeng, I heard from master that you’ve co down the mountain?"
"Why didn’t you co to see your second senior brother?"
"By the way, the matter that master asked to investigate is almost done..."
Yang Qingshu chattered on and on.
After listening, Lu Heng couldn’t help but frown and ask, "Second senior brother, what did master ask you to investigate?"
"Master didn’t tell you?"
Yang Qingshu was also a bit puzzled but still explained, "Master asked to help find Qingyue’s biological parents."
"I just found so information yesterday, and I’m seventy percent sure we can confirm they’re Qingyue’s parents."
"Hmm?"
Lu Heng’s frown deepened.
What does master an by this?
Secretly finding a disciple’s biological parents?
"Do you have ti now?"
"Why don’t you co to Wulin and et Qingyue’s biological parents with ?"
Yang Qingshu casually suggested.
"Okay!"
After hesitating for a mont, Lu Heng nodded and agreed.
The two brothers chatted for so ti, agreed on a eting place, and then hung up the phone.
Lu Heng temporarily changed his itinerary and took the high-speed train to Wulin City.
First, he wanted to see his long-lost second senior brother.
Second, he was curious to see what kind of people Qingyue’s biological parents were and why they abandoned their child in the first place.
Two hours later, he t his second senior brother Yang Qingshu, who had co to pick him up at the station.
When he saw this second senior brother, whom he hadn’t seen in years, Lu Heng was imdiately stunned.
In Qingfeng’s mory, Yang Qingshu was a handso guy, tall and dashing.
But now, standing in front of him was a bald, greasy, fat man.
If it weren’t for the sign in the man’s hand, he wouldn’t have recognized him.
Ti truly is an unforgiving butcher’s knife!
"Qingfeng, you’re still the sa as when you were a kid!"
Yang Qingshu patted Lu Heng on the shoulder, beaming with joy.
"Second senior brother, you’ve changed a lot!"
Lu Heng took another look at him, sighing inwardly.
The image of the dashing gentlemanly second senior brother had completely vanished!
"How could I not change? It’s all at and liquor gatherings every day!"
"If I were still as dashing as when I was young, I’d have returned to Shangqing Tao, showing off with Qingming and the others."
"Unfortunately, I ended up getting fat at a young age, and if I go back, Qingming and those kids would laugh till their teeth fall out."
Yang Qingshu shook his head helplessly.
Lu Heng couldn’t help but laugh, then chatted with his second senior brother about recent happenings.
After chatting for a while, he finally asked, "Second senior brother, what’s the situation with little junior sister’s biological parents?"
"It’s a bit complicated!"
"Let’s discuss it in the car!"
While inviting Lu Heng into the car, Yang Qingshu explained, "Little junior sister’s biological parents are not a married couple."
"They seed to have had the little junior sister while at university, but for so reason, they didn’t end up together."
"When in love, a child is the fruit of that love."
"But upon breaking up, the child becos a burden for both parties."
"Not long after the breakup, the little junior sister was entrusted to a distant relative of the woman."
"Later, this distant relative died of illness, and the village people, seeing the little junior sister alone and pitiful, sent her up the mountain..."
After hearing this, Lu Heng nodded slightly.
Whether it was in this life or the previous, there were always many irresponsible parents like this.
Qingyue was sowhat lucky.
After all, she t a responsible master like Xuan Cheng.
"I’m sorry, junior brother!"
Yang Qingshu suddenly apologized.
This inexplicable apology left Lu Heng sowhat bewildered.
Then Yang Qingshu continued, "Little junior sister’s biological parents have been found."
"But as for your biological parents, junior brother, I have no leads at all."
Lu Heng thought it was sothing serious, but it turned out to be about finding biological parents!
He had no interest in finding the biological parents of this body.
After all, those were Qingfeng’s parents; what did that have to do with him, Lu Heng?
Moreover, Qingfeng’s situation was different from Qingyue’s.
Qingfeng was picked up by Xuan Cheng from the river, clearly abandoned.
For parents who abandoned their children like this, it’s better not to acknowledge them!
"Second senior brother, you don’t need to look for them."
"Shangqing Tao on Dragon Tiger Mountain is my ho!"
Lu Heng said nonchalantly.
Yang Qingshu shook his head and smiled upon hearing this.
Then he said, "I’ve arranged to et the two at ten, you should co with now."
"Alright!"
Lu Heng nodded in agreent.
Yang Qingshu drove, bringing Lu Heng to the agreed location.
It was an old teahouse with over a hundred years of history, quite famous in Wulin City.
"Junior brother, after eting them in a while, let show you around Wulin City properly."
Yang Qingshu ordered a pot of good tea and so snacks, waiting for the guests while smilingly suggesting.
"Then I’ll trouble you, second senior brother!"
Lu Heng took a sip of the tea, which was very good.
It was much better than the tea he drank on Dragon Tiger Mountain.
He planned to buy so tea leaves before leaving.
The brothers chatted and drank tea, and ti quickly passed.
Yang Qingshu checked his watch and frowned, "It’s already ten, why aren’t they here yet?"
At that mont, his phone suddenly vibrated with two WeChat ssages.
After reading them, he turned to Lu Heng with a speechless expression, "The man said the plane was delayed."
"The woman said her car tire blew out and she’s at the repair shop changing it..."
