Chapter 374: Chapter 222: College Guy Comes to Wish, Clear Stupidity in His Eyes_2

"Boohoo... and this female villain, she hit me so hard... boo..."

Lin Baiwei’s expression was exaggerated, crying profusely, but even so, she didn’t utter anything like "I’m done learning."

"Okay, let’s call it a day."

Lin Yanke understood the importance of not pushing too far; if learning isn’t going well, there’s no need to force it. She pulled her sister’s arm, soothing the swelling with her own spiritual qi, and sighed: "You have excellent talent; otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to see Senior Brother’s Five Ghosts."

"You’ve chosen this path, so you must cross these thresholds. If you can’t meditate, you won’t learn those superior cultivation techniques of the Daoist family."

"But don’t be anxious, everything comes with a process. In a few days, I’ll share some tips with you; as long as you build a solid foundation, the speed won’t be slow. If you can enter the Dao before winter, it’ll be very good."

"Sis, what about you? How long did it take you to enter the Dao?" Lin Baiwei asked curiously.

"I took a bit longer, maybe two months? I really can’t remember clearly."

Lin Yanke shook her head while gently massaging her arm and smiled: "That’s not important. Haste makes waste; the foundation is the most important. Without a solid foundation, everything shakes."

Lin Baiwei nodded, then pursed her lips, and after a while, she said: "Sis..."

"Hmm?"

"Uncle wants you to visit... hey hey!"

Lin Yanke’s hand paused, causing Lin Baiwei to grimace in pain.

Seeing this, Lin Yanke quickly soothed the swelling with spiritual qi and after a moment of silence, said: "I should indeed go back for a visit."

"It’s up to you; no matter what you do, I’ll support you," Lin Baiwei said, wincing in pain but with a simple expression on her face.

"Oh, you."

Lin Yanke slowly massaged her swelling, her eyes filled with tenderness.

...

Lin Yanke was teaching her sister to cultivate, while Ning An was on his way back.

He previously promised his friends in the live streaming room that even if he was busy or traveling, he would stream at least once a week.

In the blink of an eye, a week had passed, and not fulfilling his promise aside, just the reward system for streaming was pushing him to leave the mountain.

As for why Lin Baiwei was suddenly brought to cultivate, the reason was simple: Changchun Temple only had three people, making them quite weak in numbers.

At the moment, it’s hard to find someone with both talent and good character to join the Daoist Temple.

Rather than benefiting outsiders, it’s better to benefit family members.

Ning An happily returned to Changchun Temple in Z City after giving Lin Yanke a few words of advice.

As usual, as soon as Ning An started streaming, a lot of people flooded into the live room.

It directly turned into a barrage mode filled with comments.

"Brother Sect Leader, have you finally remembered us? You didn’t go off playing again, did you!"

"Can’t say for sure, but looking at him, he seems full of vigor, probably went for a one-stop service."

"One-stop service? I, as a dragon country descendant, must lend a hand! Does anyone have recommended places?"

"Why recommend anything? Just walk into any foot massage parlor, and directly ask if they’re legitimate. If they insist they’re legit, walk away; the real one-stop service will hold you back."

"Wow, bro, great advice! I learned something new, I’ll try it later!"

Meanwhile, outside Changchun Temple.

A shadow carrying a black backpack rushed madly towards the Daoist Temple.

Not slowing down even at the temple door, heading straight for the incense burner.

About to recognize him as a university student, Ning An saw a clarity in his eyes he couldn’t hide.

Seeing Ning An, the male student blurted out without thinking:

"Brother Sect Leader, I’m here to buy some Guanyin Soil."

This sentence left Ning An dumbfounded, unsure of what to say first.

The live room friends jumped in.

"Wow? Is this a word we should say in this era?"

"Shocked! I thought the term ’Guanyin Soil’ only existed in textbooks, didn’t expect someone to say it in reality."

"Ridiculous! What’s he doing with Guanyin Soil? Surely no one’s starving?"

"Though he’s dressed plainly, doesn’t look like he can’t afford food, probably for something else?"

As the barrage of comments continued, Ning An still didn’t know what to say, so he let him sit down.

After pouring him a cup of tea, Ning An asked curiously: "Why do you need Guanyin Soil?"

The moment Ning An asked, the male student’s tears began to fall.

"Brother Sect Leader, you don’t know, I’ve been waking up early and staying up late completing tasks for group-buy apps, just to order cheap takeout."

"But after working hard to order cheap takeout, seven or eight out of ten times it disappears."

"If it’s just once or twice it’s fine, but it’s nearly every day, it’s simply outrageous!"

"So, last night I ordered takeaway and directly ambushed the regular spot where they leave it, just to see who’s been stealing my order!"

"I even contacted the school’s confession wall, waiting to publicly expose whoever I catch!"

Ning An passed him a roll of paper, couldn’t help but agree: "That’s really overboard! If a regular-priced takeaway gets stolen, so be it, but discount vouchers are hard-earned, having the takeout stolen is indeed frustrating."

"Exactly!"

The male student wiped his nose, speaking with gritted teeth.

"I made all my preparations, finally caught the thief at lunchtime!"

"But, to my shock, the one stealing my takeout wasn’t human! Damn, it was a pack of stray dogs from the school!!!"

"Ridiculously enough, there were even a couple of dogs specifically on guard, barking whenever there’s movement, urging their companions to retreat!"

"Moreover, they ignore all other takedown packages, like mine had a locator in it, they just want my food!"

"Little Daoist, tell me, isn’t it ridiculous for them to only eat my takeaway?"

"..."

Ning An opened his mouth, speechless, just picked up the teacup to moisten his dry lips.

Even before hearing the student’s complaints, the live room audience was already in a laughing frenzy.

"This kid is so pitiful, I’ve also gotten up early and stayed up late for discount vouchers, you wouldn’t know, even a whole day’s effort can only earn one or two decent vouchers."

"Whoa! If you put it like that, I totally get it, no wonder he’s crying like a baby, if it were me, I’d cry first too."

"This cracked me up, the kid probably already planned to expose that scoundrel, all set, but turns out the thief indeed was a scoundrel, hahahaha."

"Oh, I’d still advise against ordering such takeout, it might seem cheaper, but the boss sees your order price, and counts himself lucky he doesn’t spit in it. Worse, you’d get bad ingredients and gutter oil."

"Hey, I’m a takeaway delivery person, let me say something, those takeaway bosses indeed cook based on the order price, the specifics... hard to explain."

"Well, I work in that field too, what’s not to say about it? Normally ordered takeaway? It’s fried in the pan; using vouchers? The chef fries it outside the pan; using sniper vouchers? There’s a chance you get a slop bucket results."

"..."

Ning An curled his lips but couldn’t help asking: "And then, did you snatch the takeaway back to eat?"

The male student glanced at Ning An in surprise: "Impossible! The dogs tore the takeaway boxes open, I even watched one bite into it, it’s definitely inedible."

Then, he smacked his lips triumphantly: "Although I couldn’t eat it, I won’t let those thieving dogs have it either!"

"Our school’s quite large, nearby is a university district, stray dogs wander around, and I know of two or three small groups."

"I immediately snatched back the takeaway, and went directly to the place of another dog group I knew, threw it to them."

The male student proudly lifted his head, looking somewhat satisfied:

"I specially chose a group of larger dogs, I didn’t leave, just watched the thief dogs feel despair yet unable to eat the takeaway."

"I made them smell but not able to eat, it drove them mad!"
