The car stopped at the parking lot at the entrance of Antique Street, which is a pedestrian pathway, so they had to walk over.
As soon as they entered the gates of the "Everything Has" shop, Uncle Fox and Bai Yue felt a sense of oppression, but it quickly disappeared.
"Master, I’m back," Cui Wenyan ran inside happily.
"Mm, you did very well this ti." Tianmiao patted Cui Wenyan’s head, then looked at the others and said, "Please, take a seat."
Uncle Fox and Bai Yue looked at Tianmiao, feeling an inexplicable urge to show their true forms and ask for a comforting stroke.
"I know everything. We’ll depart tomorrow, little foxes, you’ll lead the way to awaken your ancestor," Tianmiao said, looking at Uncle Fox and Bai Yue.
"Thank you, Sir." Uncle Fox gave a grand salute, and Bai Yue followed suit.
"You’ll rest here for tonight. Dong Xiao, take them to rest first."
Dong Xiao led Uncle Fox and Bai Yue to the backyard, after which Tianmiao turned to look at Wu Yihao and Liang Bing.
"Hello, Cui Wenyan’s aunt," Wu Yihao greeted with a hearty smile.
Liang Bing also said hello, though he seed a bit absent-minded.
"Aunt, is everything Cui Wenyan said true? Is that scholar Liang Bing’s past life?" Wu Yihao asked excitedly.
"Yes." Tianmiao’s affirmative reply made Wu Yihao even more excited.
"Then, Aunt, can I go with you? You’re going to awaken those little foxes’ ancestor, right? Can I co along? I promise I won’t cause any trouble. Besides, look how strong I am; I can help carry bags and luggage. Can I, Aunt, can I?" Wu Yihao kept calling her aunt, more affectionately than Cui Wenyan.
"You can. We’ll leave early tomorrow morning. I’ll have soone book the tickets. Give your ID information to Wenyan," Tianmiao nodded.
"Aunt, was my past life really such a weak scholar? Was my lover a fox spirit?" Liang Bing finally snapped out of his daydream, looking at Tianmiao with urgency.
Tianmiao smiled, "Do you want to find the answer yourself?"
"Yes!" Liang Bing replied decisively. He hadn’t expected things to unfold like this; he originally just wanted to go on an adventure and investigate the villa’s issue. Now it had unearthed his past life’s story. If it’s true as Cui Wenyan said, then his past life was too regretful, waiting desperately for his lover, who was gravely injured and fell asleep, but he couldn’t find her nor wait for her.
"Then give your ID information to Wenyan. We’ll depart early tomorrow morning," Tianmiao smiled.
"Oh, right, we haven’t paid Cui Wenyan for that talisman yet," Wu Yihao rembered, took out his phone, and directly transferred 60,000 yuan to Cui Wenyan via WeChat, "And there’s an additional 10,000 for this trip’s tickets and expenses."
Liang Bing was montarily stunned: "This matter, is it my commission then? How much is the charge?"
"Sa as Wu Yihao. I’ve already accepted the villa commission a long ti ago; it hasn’t been completely resolved yet," Cui Wenyan replied.
"Huh? The villa commission?" Liang Bing thought for a while and suddenly rembered, "I recall now, my dad said he found an expert to handle it and told not to worry. Did you take on that commission?"
"I received it from soone else," Cui Wenyan didn’t elaborate further. The affairs of the Heavenly Master Association are best not discussed much with ordinary people.
Wu Yihao looked at Cui Wenyan with bright eyes, "Cui Wenyan, I really didn’t expect you’re such an expert, hidden in plain sight."
