What? All the female protagonists have systems, but I don't?

"Manager Yao, name your price for this antique jade, and I will not haggle."

Gao Ming said to Yao Ying that with this top-quality ancient jade, his status in his grandfather's heart could rise to another level, which could not be measured by price alone.

"Young Master Gao is truly generous. Then I'll just name a number: one million!"

"it is good!"

Without any hesitation, Gao Ming took out his card and handed it to Yao Ying.

"Manager Yao, please swipe your card."

Yao Ying nodded and accepted Gao Ming's card.

"Brother Lin, thank you so much this time. I hope we can reach a cooperation agreement in the future."

"Of course, I am very much looking forward to collaborating with Brother Gao."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

After payment, Yao Ying carefully packaged the exquisite antique jade for Gao Ming and handed it over to him.

"Brother Lin, until we meet again."

"See you later."

Gao Ming got into the car. He looked at the exquisite ancient jade in his hand with great satisfaction, and at the same time began to think about things in his mind.

Through his conversation with Lin Yuan, Gao Ming was certain that the information he had gathered was incorrect.

Lin Yuan interacted with himself with ease, showing no signs of the spoiled and dissolute behavior rumored in Beicheng.

"After we return to Jiangcheng, we'll have someone come to Beicheng to investigate this Lin Yuan. He's completely different from the information we've gathered."

"Yes, Young Master Gao."

Gao Ming's departure from Beicheng was nothing to Lin Yuan. As for the cooperation between the two families, he regarded it as a fleeting thing, as cooperation was not something that could be easily achieved.

Meanwhile, after seeing Lin Yuan and Gao Ming off, Yao Ying, the manager of Yucheng, belatedly realized something that seemed unbelievable.

"I don't recall ever telling either of them that my surname is Yao. Why did they call me Manager Yao as soon as they came in?"

Yao Ying watched the departing vehicle, her curiosity piqued, but the answer was now lost to time. Perhaps she could ask it again if they met again someday.

After obtaining the Heart-Protecting Jade, Lin Yuan couldn't wait to head to the next place.

Next, they were going to a temple outside the North City. There were two things Lin Yuan wanted there: one was Buddhist martial arts techniques, such as the Golden Bell Cover, Iron Shirt, and Vajra Finger; the other was a magic weapon, the Demon-Slaying Blade.

Lin Yuan's choice was actually quite simple: first and foremost, a defensive measure that could save his life.

Having the Heart-Protecting Jade is not enough, because it can only be used three times. The Buddhist techniques we are about to obtain, such as the Golden Bell Cover and Iron Shirt, are all superior defensive techniques.

Once mastered, it can make one invulnerable to swords and spears.

After acquiring defensive measures, one needs offensive measures that can injure the enemy.

The Demonic Art of Formlessness can absorb the essence and spiritual energy of others to enhance its own strength, allowing it to grow stronger and stronger. Meanwhile, the Vajra Finger of Buddhism is also a superior offensive technique, and together with the Golden Bell Cover and Iron Shirt, it is known as the strongest shield and spear of Buddhism.

With the addition of the magic weapon Demon-Slaying Blade, one's combat power can be greatly increased.

This is why, after much deliberation, Lin Yuan chose to secure these three opportunities first.

Yang Gang drove and soon arrived at Qinglong Temple, a temple outside the northern part of the city.

Although Qinglong Temple is located outside the North City, it is still within the territory of the North City and therefore under the jurisdiction of the North City.

Qinglong Temple is a very famous tourist attraction throughout the country, with incense burning year-round and a constant stream of visitors every day.

A parking lot has been set up a kilometer away from Qinglong Temple, where all vehicles must be parked. If you want to enter Qinglong Temple, you must walk a kilometer.

In the words of the monks of Qinglong Temple, Buddha likes tranquility and dislikes being disturbed, therefore vehicles cannot approach within a kilometer of Qinglong Temple.

Lin Yuan didn't care much about these things; it was only a kilometer, just a few more steps.

After getting off the bus, he saw many travelers heading towards Qinglong Temple.

There were men and women, old and young, fat and thin, handsome and ugly, healthy and alive... It truly witnessed all aspects of human life.

"Young master, would you like me to carry you across?"

Yang Gang parked the car, walked up to Lin Yuan, and asked.

Lin Yuan rolled his eyes at this guy. What kind of nonsense is he spouting?

"Get lost, it's only a thousand meters. I have legs and feet, I can walk by myself."

"Yes, Master."

Seeing that the young master didn't need to be carried, Yang Gang obediently followed behind him.

The road leading to Qinglong Temple is paved with bluestone bricks, and weeping willows are planted on both sides. When the breeze blows, you can hear the rustling of the leaves.

"This handsome young man."

Lin Yuan was walking forward when suddenly a hand reached out from behind and grabbed his clothes.

"Hmm? Grandpa, is there something you need?"

Upon seeing this, Lin Yuan asked in a very kind and polite manner.

The person who pulled him in front of him was an elderly woman in her seventies, who was leaning on a cane and had a hunched back.

Lin Yuan couldn't understand why someone in such a physical condition would bother coming to Qinglong Temple. Wouldn't it be better to just sit peacefully at home, gossiping about news?

However, he did not show any impatience, but patiently asked the old lady if she had encountered any difficulties.

"I can't walk anymore. I wonder if you could carry me to Qinglong Temple?"

"Our young master..."

"you shut up."

Lin Yuan glared at Yang Gang. He knew what the kid was about to say, so he interrupted Yang Gang before he could finish.

"Grandma, what are you doing at Qinglong Temple? Aren't you going with any family members?"

It's rare to see an elderly woman of this age come to Qinglong Temple alone; she should at least be accompanied by a family member, right?

“My wife has passed away, and my only son was in a car accident and is now in the hospital receiving emergency treatment. My daughter-in-law is taking care of him in the hospital. I am too old to do anything, so I thought of coming to Qinglong Temple to pray for my son’s safety and hope that he can get through this difficult time.”

"I see."

Lin Yuan nodded.

“Grandma, let me carry you to Qinglong Temple. After you finish praying, I will carry you back.”

"Really? Thank you so much, young man."

The old woman was naturally very happy to hear this. She had asked many people for help along the way, but no one was willing to help her. The young man in front of her agreed without saying a word, which moved her deeply.

"Don't be shy, come on, I'll carry you."

"Young Master, may I do it?"

"No, I'll do it myself."

Lin Yuandao.

The old lady had asked him for help, and he could have asked Yang Gang to carry her, but he didn't want to.

Yang Gang knew he couldn't change his young master's decision, so he didn't say anything and just continued to follow behind him.

If the young master gets tired, he can quickly go and help.
