Chapter 106
"Uncle, I want to meet Mingwu Daoist. What methods can I use to meet him?" Chi Yan asked.
"You want to meet Mingwu Daoist? I'm going to Wenjue Temple this weekend, I can take you there if you want to meet him."
"I want to bring someone with me."
"No problem. I'll come pick you up from school then."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Chi Yan said to Chu Yang: "My uncle is going to meet Mingwu Daoist this weekend, let's go together."
Chu Yang looked at the time, it wasn't the 15th yet, "Okay."
"Is there something going on?" Chi Yan felt it was strange.
Chu Yang hesitated for a moment but didn't tell Chi Yan about it, lest he worry. She would tell him when she couldn't resolve it herself. After all, she was a witch, if she couldn't resolve something herself she was afraid Chi Yan would be in danger too.
"Nothing much, it's still about Zhu Ruxin's matter last time. I want to find out more clearly. School has started, I offended her last time, I'm afraid she'll come make trouble for me again."
"Oh, okay." Chi Yan didn't doubt her words, "Don't worry, if she dares come make trouble for you again, I'll go make trouble for her brother." Teach Zhu Ruying a lesson and have him properly discipline his sister. As for Zhu Ruxin...he was just afraid of that uncle of the Zhu family, after all Zhu Ruxin was that person's beloved.
"Forget about her, let's go to the library."
"Okay."
When Chi Xin came to pick them up in his car on the weekend, he saw from the car window his nephew holding hands with a girl. His nephew lowered his head and said something in the girl's ear that made them both laugh. Chi Xin was stunned. Was this his nephew who wasn't interested in girls?
Chi Xin thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. But when he parked and Chi Yan came over holding the hand of the girl, he said "Uncle, this is my girlfriend Chu Yang. Chu Yang, this is my uncle."
Chu Yang nodded at Chi Yan's uncle, "Hello uncle."
"Hello, nice to meet you." Chi Xin was shocked for a second but quickly regained his composure. "Get in the car."
After getting in the car, Chi Xin asked, "What are you looking for Mingwu Daoist for? To have your fortune told?"
Chi Yan shook his head, "No, we have some questions we want to ask."
Chi Xin said, "What questions could there be, Ming Wu is useless besides fortune telling."
From Chi Xin's tone, Chu Yang noticed that he and Mingwu Daoist should be very familiar.
As the car drove on, Chu Yang suddenly said, "Uncle, please go this way."
Chi Xin was puzzled.
Although he had questions, Chi Xin still changed route, but he still asked, "If we go this way it'll take longer."
Chu Yang didn't reply, Chi Yan helped her, "The other way would probably be even longer."
Sure enough, ten minutes later a news alert popped up on the phone, there was a traffic accident on XX road section, traffic control measures were being implemented, please take the other route.
Chi Xin: ......
What was going on? How did Chi Yan know? No, how did Chi Yan's girlfriend know?
Chi Xin glanced at Chu Yang in the rearview mirror. She looked so young, she didn't seem like Ming Wu's type either? Could it be an inherited family ability?
Although Chi Xin was very puzzled, he didn't ask. After all she was his nephew's girlfriend. He still believed in his nephew's judgement. As long as she wasn't a bad person it was fine.
An hour later, the three arrived at the foot of Wenjue Temple mountain. They got out of the car and climbed the mountain. Luckily Chi Yan was prepared, with sun umbrellas, water, fruit, sunblock spray, he even asked Chu Yang if she wanted sunblock spray before getting out of the car.
Chu Yang: ...... Her boyfriend was more high-maintenance than she was, he really was amazing! Thumbs up!
Chi Xin: ......What's with this guy? Is this really my nephew?
As they climbed the mountain, Chi Xin walked behind, watching Chi Yan attentively caring for his girlfriend ahead. His impression of Chi Yan was refreshed once again. Then he looked at Chu Yang again. What magic did this girl have to make his nephew who had been a genius since childhood so willing to dote on her like this?
Or could it be his nephew was actually lovesick?
How terrifying!
If Chi Yan knew his thoughts he would definitely refute: You single dog, what do you understand!
Wenjue Temple was not tall. In a dozen minutes they arrived. Chi Xin walked to the front and said to the young daoist standing at the door, "I'm Chi Xin, I have an appointment with Mingwu Daoist."
Young Daoist: "Please wait a moment, I'll go inform Master."
Chi Xin nodded and waited at the door with Chi Yan and Chu Yang. Chu Yang looked around the temple. It was very quiet, the surrounding trees looked over a hundred years old. Not far away she saw a young daoist sweeping the floor. There were few visitors at the moment, only the three of them.
After a while the young daoist came out, "Master asks you to go in."
Chi Xin thanked him then brought Chi Yan and Chu Yang inside.
They entered a small room where a daoist looking about sixty years old wearing blue robes sat on a chair. Seeing Chi Xin and the others, he gestured for them to sit and poured tea for them.
Chi Xin sat down casually, "My nephew has some questions he wants to ask you."
Chi Yan and Chu Yang greeted, "Nice to meet you, Mingwu Daoist."
Then Chi Yan said, "Uncle, didn't you come to see Mingwu Daoist for something? Deal with your matters first, ours aren't urgent."
Chi Xin said, "I just came to drink tea with Mingwu Daoist."
Chi Yan and Chu Yang looked at each other, quite speechless.
Oh well.
Mingwu Daoist smiled, then looked up at Chi Yan and Chu Yang, "Yin and Yang?" These two people...
Mingwu Daoist looked at Chi Yan, then shifted his gaze to Chu Yang. The more he looked the more alarmed he became. "This young lady seems...to be in danger? Yet there is still a ray of hope within the crisis."
As soon as Chi Yan heard Chu Yang was in danger he anxiously asked, "What danger?"
Mingwu Daoist drank his tea, "The young lady should know."
Chi Yan looked at Chu Yang.
Chu Yang didn't explain, just nodded, "Yes. But that's not what I wanted to ask. I want to know more detailed things about these two birth charts."
Chu Yang took out Zhu Ruxin's birth chart and her own.
Mingwu Daoist took them and looked them over, then looked at Chu Yang again and back at Chi Yan. "No wonder, no wonder."
Finally Mingwu Daoist said, "These birth charts, one look and you know it's Tang Sanzang's flesh, great supplementary item...But everything lies in human effort, fate can be overcome."
Chu Yang felt her guess was finally confirmed, "Thank you, Daoist."
Chi Yan scratched his head, he didn't understand anything but his girlfriend understood?
Chi Xin didn't speak, just quietly drank his tea.
Chu Yang looked at Chi Yan, "We can go wait outside now."
Chu Yang pulled Chi Yan outside.
Remaining in the room was Chi Xin and Mingwu Daoist.
Chi Xin asked, "How is my nephew?"
Mingwu Daoist replied, "Very good."
Although it was just two words, Chi Xin was satisfied. This meant his nephew would do very well in future right?
Chi Xin then asked, "What about my nephew's girlfriend?"
Mingwu Daoist thought for a bit then said, "That depends on the will of heaven."
Chi Xin asked, "What do you mean?"
Mingwu pointed at the sky, "Heaven's will."
Chi Xin: ......
Chi Xin recalled how Chi Yan doted on his girlfriend. He asked again, "Is there a way to resolve it?"
Mingwu nodded, "There is."
Chi Xin urged, "What is it?"
Mingwu replied, "Cannot say."
Chi Xin: ...... Nonsense!
