The Taoist priest gave them the service for a year without asking for any money. He was indeed Master Su, a true descendant of the Chinese people.

Su Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and looking at the old Taoist priest opposite him with a sad face, he felt even better.

"You're welcome. It's just a small favor. I'll take the person back to school later. Just remember to come pick him up."

[He'll probably be at school around 4 p.m. Um, wait at the school gate before 4 p.m. If this old Taoist doesn't obey, feel free to contact me.]

[Haha, okay, thank you Master Su.]

After Su Chen hung up the phone, he stood up and said, "Come on, follow me down the mountain."

The old Taoist said angrily: "My name is Xuanzhen, you should call me Taoist Xuanzhen, don't call me that."

"In Taoism, age is not important; only the depth of one's skills counts. I'm better than you, so you should listen to me. Don't put on so much airs in front of me."

A few minutes later, the man was brought down the mountain.

Qi Huaimin had already finished his business. Seeing the man coming back, he unconsciously became respectful: "Master Su, you are back. We can go back to the city now."

Su Chen nodded: "Okay, let's go back to the city, and take this old man back with me, he can be of use to me."

"...Is this the person who made my son stupid?"

"Well, old man, you have to apologize for what you did wrong. Come over here quickly, and give me more talisman paper. Don't say you don't have any."

Xuan Zhen looked aggrieved. The talisman paper he had worked so hard to draw was now completely gone. His face was in pain and he said awkwardly, "This is my fault. I hope you will forgive me."

Qi Huaimin was a little panicked and waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no need to apologize. Ultimately, it's my family's fault. They are greedy and want to harm my son."

"Even if the master hadn't gotten it, someone else would have gotten it. Now that this matter has been clarified, I won't mention it again."

"Good and bad are interdependent. This incident has made me see them clearly. Severing ties and not associating with them from now on is not entirely a disaster. On the contrary, it is a good thing for us."

The old Taoist's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he stretched out his hand to take back the talisman paper.

Su Chen on the side said with a half-smile: "Old man, what you gave away is your sincerity. It's not good to ask for it back, don't you think?"

"Mr. Qi, this talisman paper is a good thing. It's very good to keep it with you for protection."

Qi Huaimin nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, put the talisman paper in his arms, and said cheerfully: "Thank you, old Taoist priest, you are a very good person."

The old Taoist priest who was given the good guy card felt bitter in his heart. This young man was so cruel that he cheated him of many talismans. He felt sad, really sad.

Bie Kailian said unhappily, "No need to thank me, don't talk to me, I'm annoyed."

The group returned to the imperial capital and went their separate ways.

Qi Huaimin said politely, "Master Su, I added your WeChat. Please approve it so I can give you the money. If it's a red envelope, you need a cash envelope."

Su Chen hummed, inexplicably absent-minded, his eyelids twitching constantly, but he couldn't figure out anything.

Standing at the school gate, I took out my cell phone and called, but there was only a beep and no one answered.

He called Uncle Fu again. Fortunately, someone answered the phone this time. The voice sounded a little anxious, and Su Chen's heart suddenly tightened.

Anxious: [Uncle Fu, where is Wushuang now?]

"Sister-in-law, something's happened to the young lady. We just arrived in Haicheng yesterday to discuss cooperation, but who knew the streets would become chaotic today, with so many people snatching things."

[Something about a plague? I'm not entirely sure. Anyway, the lady said she was at the hospital to see a client. It's been almost three hours, and she still hasn't returned...]

Su Chen's eyebrows twitched when he heard this: Plague, how could there be a plague suddenly? Even if there was, it shouldn't have developed so quickly. Why is there no news at all?

"Don't worry, Uncle Fu. I'm going to Haicheng to find Wushuang right now. Go stock up on food and wait in the hotel."

"Okay, I understand, uncle. Before she left, the young lady said she was going to Haicheng Boya Hospital. Please be careful."

I'll be fine, don't worry.

Su Chen packed up simply and quickly bought a high-speed train ticket to Haicheng. When he got on the train, he felt more and more uneasy, and his whole body exuded a bit of hostility.
