Shuo Zong originally thought that there was something strange with this hotel, which caused him to hear strange noises whenever he closed his eyes and made it impossible for him to rest.
With his special physique, it was absolutely rare for him to encounter such a strange experience.
But who would have thought that Wei Xi, who lived in the same room with him, didn’t seem to be affected at all, which was very puzzling.
Shuo Zong frowned and thought for a long time but couldn’t figure it out. He could only watch Wei Xi get up and hang the jade pendant that was placed on the pillow last night back on his neck. He subconsciously glanced at the jade pendant but ended up catching a glimpse of Wei Xi’s upper body, on which he hadn’t had time to put on a T-shirt yet.
Wei Xi’s hair stood up messily in the early morning sun, and his face still had pillow marks from waking up. When he raised his arms to put on his clothes, the lines of his slender waist were extremely clear, instantly reminding people of the way it had been thrusting in the dark the night before.
Shuo Zong: “…”
He quickly turned his eyes away and stopped looking at the jade pendant. Wei Xi once said that this thing was the seal of the leader of Taicang Sect. There was no evil spirit on it, so the problem should not be there.
With no answer to his question, he could only get out of bed and wash up. When he walked into the transparent bathroom, he couldn’t help but think of all kinds of things. He felt a little uncomfortable being at the crime scene, but Wei Xi was not ashamed at all. He stood beside his apprentice, washed his face, and then turned around and stared at his apprentice intently.
Shuo Zong bent down to wash his face. He felt a little overwhelmed by his gaze and was about to ask him what he wanted to do.
Wei Xi sniffed around his shoulders and came closer. Shuo Zong looked at his face getting closer and unconsciously opened his mouth to kiss him. After about a few seconds of contact, the slippery little tongue that entered his mouth retracted again.
Wei Xi smacked the Yang Qi in his mouth: “I was hungry again after waking up.”
This was breakfast.
Shuo Zong: “…”
Shuo Zong looked at him with a complicated expression as he acted like a hooligan so naturally. He himself couldn’t understand how things had developed to this point.
He had never imagined such a scene before: he and Wei Xi sleeping in each other’s arms on the wide double bed one night and standing side by side in front of the sink and kissing each other in the early morning.
It was simply…
It was just crazy.
Wei Xi was completely unaware of this, and perhaps he didn’t even know the significance of such behavior. To him, it was simply absorbing the yang energy, from his body and from his mouth, and after absorbing it, he left peacefully.
But what about him?
Shuo Zong looked at himself in the mirror. It was a face between a young man and a teenager. His facial features could be called handsome in a broad sense. The pupils in his eyes were dark, and through the reflection of the mirror, he seemed to be examining himself deeply.
Last night, when he kissed those lips and held the leg that was rubbing against his side, there was a moment when he even wanted to tear off the other’s soft pajamas.
The cold mountain water splashed on his face, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
What to do after tearing it off?
Oh.
….
Tuan Tuanyi was arguing with Lu Wenqing in the restaurant: “Didn’t you say you didn’t snore? But you snored and grinded your teeth and I didn’t sleep well all night!”
Lu Wenqing was also very unhappy: “How dare you blame me? Do you want me to count how many farts you have let out in bed?”
Tuan Tuanyi: “I farted in my own bed, it’s none of your business. You came over my side when you fell asleep in the middle of the night, and you can blame me for that? I was worried that you had some plans for me!”
Lu Wenqing: “Bah! Stop being so narcissistic, you fag!”
These two unlucky guys were assigned double beds just like Wei Xi and Shuo Zong. Considering the uniform style of bathrooms in the hotel, it was hard to tell how they managed to survive.
Kuang Zhiming and his wife were sitting with the Taoist priest Feng from Fengnian Temple, discussing the night wind in the mountains last night. When they saw Wei Xi and his second disciple appear, they greeted him, “Master Wei, did you have a good rest last night?”
Wei Xi thought about it, and remembering the wonderful experiences he had last night, he answered sincerely, “Very good.”
Tuan Tuanyi left Lu Wenqing, who was still scolding him for being a bigot, and went forward to greet his master. He glanced at his junior fellow student beside his master and immediately asked in surprise, “Master, what’s wrong with my junior fellow student? Why does he look like that so early in the morning? It’s as if he is unsatisfied.”
Wei Xi looked at the second disciple. Although he didn’t understand what he meant by “satisfied”, he could still see that the disciple was worried and looked a little more depressed than usual. He couldn’t help but worry, could it be that he had absorbed too much Yang Qi and was injured?
He answered hesitantly: “Maybe last night…”
“Tuan Tuanyi.” His second disciple suddenly interrupted him and said to Tuan Tuanyi coldly, “You are very curious. Have you memorized the Tongyuan Miscellaneous Curses?”
Tuanyi: “………………”
He ran away in shame, feeling that he couldn’t afford to offend anyone.
Before running away, he couldn’t help but secretly look back at his master, frowning in confusion. He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he felt that his master’s condition today looked like two extremes from his junior brother’s – his face was ruddy, his eyes were clear, his mood was good, his limbs were relaxed, and his eyes were moving, it was like…
As if he was in a very satisfied state afterwards.
Cough cough cough, what am I thinking about? I actually thought like this about my own master.
Tuan Tuanyi covered his face in shame. Thinking of Lu Wenqing’s comment about his homosexuality, he felt even more ashamed to face his own wild imagination.
The other Taoist priests in the restaurant also noticed the Taicang Sect’s group. Unlike when they first entered the mountain and no one paid attention to them, most people present this time took them seriously, such as the old Taoist priest at Zhimi Temple.
Most of them initially thought that the three master and apprentices were just here to hang out, after all, they had been in the local area for so many years and had never heard of this Taoist temple. At present, metaphysics in China was declining, and there were all kinds of people. Most of them, the true practitioners who had inherited the mantle and run the business for several lifetimes, were poor and low-key, far less successful than the scammers who changed their careers and cheated people. Therefore, when they first heard Kuang Zhiming introduce the other party as a newly established Taoist temple, and that it could take advantage of this to receive the rituals of Qiu Guokai’s crew, they naturally classified the other party as the latter.
But after seeing them collectively subdue Fang Xiaojie last night, no matter what, the opponent’s strength was definitely not that of a swindler.
Everyone finally put aside their prejudices and belatedly got to know each other. A Taoist priest heard that the Taicang Sect was established not long ago, so he kindly asked: “Have you joined our local Taoist Association?”
Wei Xi shook his head. He only knew about this association from Kuang Zhiming. Thinking about it this way, his own sect was indeed quite irregular. Tuan Tuanyi also said with shame: “It’s not too late.”
Because of Wei Xi’s methods, everyone felt that Taicang Sect must really have some background, so someone said generously: “It’s okay, it’s okay. After we go back, we will recommend you to join the association.”
Wei Xi was a little grateful. Wei Dedao had said that one of the great proofs of a sect’s strength was whether it could be recognized by other sects. Since he had started rebuilding Taicang Sect, he had never known how to approach this issue. This person’s help would undoubtedly solve a major problem for him: “Thank you very much.”
“That’s nothing.” The Taoist priest who spoke smiled and said, “Master Wei, when the time comes, just hand in your and your two disciples’ Taoist certificates to the Religious Affairs Bureau.”
Wei Xi: “???”
Tuanyi: “What the hell?”
The master and disciple looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other’s eyes. What should they do? Did the sect still need a Taoist certificate?
Shuo Zong looked at them in silence.
The Taoist priest who spoke was also stunned by their behavior: “… Don’t you have any documents? The conversion certificate, the transmission certificate…”
Tuan Tuanyi looked at him innocently with her big watery eyes.
The man was sweating profusely after being stared at, and couldn’t help but ask in confusion: “Then what kind of certificate does your Taoist temple have?”
The strength of Taicang Sect seemed to be quite reliable, how come they didn’t have a Taoist certificate? This was working without a certificate. However, it was not impossible to use other certificates to join the association without a Taoist certificate. The country’s current control in this regard was still quite strict. Since their Taoist temple had already opened, the approval documents of the Religious Affairs Bureau were actually…
As he thought of this, he heard Tuan Tuanyi’s innocent answer: “How about the company’s business license?”
Everyone: “……………………”
Tuan Tuanyi suddenly realized that his sect was operating without a license, and Wei Xi also couldn’t understand what was happening outside the mountain. It was fine that they couldn’t occupy the mountain as king, but why did they have to go through so many twists and turns to set up a sect? The master and the disciple didn’t know what to do for a while. The others present were even more speechless than them. What was going on with this Taicang Sect? It was fine that it hadn’t been approved, but the person in charge of the temple didn’t even have a certificate…
Are you opening it blindly?
Everyone could only hold this speechless mood and go to perform the ritual together.
The crew had a day off today, and all of them followed Qiu Guokai here. When the altar was opened, the second female lead who had previously been clamoring to terminate the contract came closer to watch the fun, fiddling with the peach wood sword on the table, feeling a little uneasy: “Will this ritual work? There won’t really be ghosts in the crew, right?”
Qiu Guokai had pleaded about this issue before, so after much deliberation, everyone decided not to tell everyone about Fang Xiaojie’s affairs. Although Fang Xiaojie was not the one who messed up the crew, for most ordinary actors, having someone like Fang Xiaojie around them was scary enough, not to mention that the actress was so scared that she wanted to terminate the contract before being questioned. Wouldn’t it be the end of her if she was told?
Therefore, Qiu Guokai immediately laughed and said, “Don’t think too much, it’s just to get rid of bad luck. What era is this? How can you still believe in this?”
Wei Xi glanced at the second female lead. After hearing Qiu Guokai comforted her, the second female lead did look much better. However, Fang Xiaojie was pointing at her angrily, with an expression of jealousy clearly on his face: “You didn’t cherish such a good role. How many times have you read the script in such a long time? Do you deserve the salary you get? You are just a vase! You have no substance! The audience is really blind that you can become popular!”
The second female lead was completely unaware, and after putting down the peach wood sword, she expressed her loyalty to Qiu Guokai: “Maybe I read the script every day and got too immersed in the role.”
Fang Xiaojie: “Wow, you shameless bast**d! How can you lie without blinking an eye?”
Wei Xi: “…”
He turned to his second apprentice and sighed: “Humans are so complicated.”
The same goes for ghosts.
Upon hearing this, the second disciple glanced at Fang Xiaojie indifferently. Wei Xi saw that Fang Xiaojie, who was still cursing the second female lead, suddenly floated away as if he had seen a ghost.
Wei Xi asked in confusion: “He seems to be very afraid of you. What did you do to him?”
The second disciple was calm and composed, as if he knew nothing: “Really? You are seeing things.”
