Jiang Ting and Long Feicheng moved the goods to the back of the truck. After they got back into the car, Lin Zitong reached out and pinched Jiang Ting's cheek.
Jiang Ting was startled, not knowing what Lin Zitong was doing, but then she heard Lin Zitong say,
"Sister Jiang Ting, your skin is a bit dry. Sister brought back some very effective deep-sea mud masks from Rongcheng. If you use them for a few days, I guarantee your skin will be smooth and tender, and it will also become much fairer!"
Every girl yearns for her skin to be as soft and bouncy as a baby's, and even a tough girl like Jiang Ting is no exception.
Moreover, Jiang Ting had specifically praised Lin Zitong's good skin before, indicating that she cared about her appearance. Thus, Lin Zitong decided to approach her from this angle.
As expected, Jiang Ting's interest was immediately piqued:
"Deep-sea mud mask? Is it really that good? But it sounds expensive..."
Lin Zitong tapped her own cheek again and said, "You're taking your brother and sister to Chenjiacun, so we must reciprocate. I have plenty of masks, and it's fine to give you some for free. However, applying a mask requires a lot of care. I have to be by your side to supervise you, otherwise, it could have the opposite effect and cause you to break out in acne."
Jiang Ting was tempted by this, but then said helplessly, "But I have to deliver goods for my dad every day."
"Isn't that easy?" Yan Shouyi patted Long Feicheng on the shoulder, "Have this brother help you!"
Long Feicheng was completely bewildered, not knowing what Yan Shouyi and Lin Zitong had said while he was in the back of the truck.
Didn't they say they were coming to Chenjiacun together for a trip?
How did it suddenly turn into me delivering goods?
Just as Long Feicheng was about to object, he saw Yan Shouyi winking at him.
As brothers, they had a certain understanding. So, despite being full of doubts, Long Feicheng agreed immediately:
"That's right, that's right, Brother Long can help you! It's just delivering goods, a piece of cake! Who else but your lucky star can help?"
The simple-minded Jiang Ting didn't think too much about it. In fact, she was idle in the village every day. As long as someone could help her dad deliver goods, her dad wouldn't care where she went.
So Jiang Ting became happy, "Okay, okay! Then I'll follow you guys around for the next few days?"
"I have many empty rooms in my old house in Chenjiacun, so feel free to stay. And you can also be a guide for Sister, showing her around," Yan Shouyi said. "I'm also worried that she might feel lonely coming to our Chenjiacun as a young lady."
Jiang Ting's doubts were completely gone, and she even started planning where to take Lin Zitong.
With this matter resolved, a weight was lifted from Yan Shouyi and Lin Zitong's minds. In fact, keeping Jiang Ting nearby was partly for her safety, and partly because they wanted to see if the sorcerer would really show up.
If the sorcerer came looking for Jiang Ting tonight, they would deal with him then and there, saving them the trouble of finding him later.
At this moment, Yan Shouyi's pocket vibrated. He took out his phone and looked at it, revealing a look of surprise.
The phone that received the message was not his own, but that of the high Taoist priest from Shengxian Guan.
Upon opening it, the chat window showed that his second junior brother had sent him a message.
Wasn't his second junior brother the Long Feicheng sitting in the front?
Yan Shouyi gave Long Feicheng a glance and opened the chat window.
Long Feicheng: Yan Ge, what's going on?
It seemed Long Feicheng could no longer contain his curiosity and wanted to ask Yan Shouyi about their plans for Jiang Ting.
Yan Shouyi spent two minutes writing out the whole story to Long Feicheng. After reading it, Long Feicheng understood. It seemed they were going to act on behalf of heaven again!
As for the so-called sorcerer, Long Feicheng didn't take him seriously at all.
After all, he had experienced the battle of Feifeng Mountain and seen a Ghost King. Long Feicheng felt that Chenjiacun was a small place, and even if there were monsters at work, their strength could surely not compare to that of a Ghost King.
It felt like having challenged a high-level dungeon and then returning to the novice village, even though in the high-level dungeon, Long Feicheng was the one standing in the corner shouting "Awesome!"
However, Yan Shouyi did not underestimate the sorcerer. His years of experience traveling the world with his grandfather had taught him that true masters often emerged from humble beginnings.
True dragons often hid in deep mountains.
It was possible that this sorcerer was highly skilled, perhaps even more so than Tong Jingcheng.
After finishing the conversation with Long Feicheng, Yan Shouyi also clicked on the "Anti-Yan Alliance" chat group.
He hadn't looked at the group for two days and was surprised to find hundreds of messages.
The main chat content revolved around two people: "Blood Droplet" and "Tranquil and Far-Reaching."
Earlier, Long Feicheng had tricked them into believing that Yan Chou had gone to Bingzhou. So, Blood Droplet took a flight to Bingzhou overnight, and Tranquil and Far-Reaching happened to be in Bingzhou at the time.
One guarded the airport, and the other guarded the train station, staying awake for two days and two nights.
The result was as expected. Their eyes were almost blinded from watching, and not only had they not seen Yan Chou, they hadn't even seen a trace of him!
And Long Feicheng, being professional, had even occasionally replied in the group during those two days to stabilize morale and ask them to wait patiently.
Blood Droplet and Tranquil and Far-Reaching hated Yan Chou to the bone. Even if it were twenty days, they could wait, let alone two days. So, they only complained during those two days but didn't suspect the truthfulness of Long Feicheng's information.
It seemed he could still fool them for a few more days.
Yan Shouyi felt that he should also chime in occasionally, otherwise, it might arouse suspicion from the group members.
So, he typed a line in the chat box: Fellow Taoists, may I ask if anyone has ever dealt with a sorcerer?
Perhaps Blood Droplet was bored at the airport, and immediately replied, "Did a fellow Taoist encounter a sorcerer?"
Yan Shouyi replied, "Yes, I've run into a bit of trouble and might have to spar with this sorcerer."
Wind Leaves No Trace: That's really not a good thing. Sorcerers are very troublesome. They never confront us directly; they always hide and play dirty tricks, using poison,蛊 (gu), or sorcery. They might even control their heads to fly over and bite you in the middle of the night.
Yan Shouyi's heart skipped a beat. So sorcerers were that difficult to deal with?
Tranquil and Far-Reaching: Heh heh, however, these folk sects can only resort to unorthodox methods. Although they sound difficult to deal with at first, as long as you find the right remedy, they are powerless against us.
Yan Shouyi quickly asked, "Could the fellow Taoist offer some guidance?"
Tranquil and Far-Reaching did not reply, seeming unwilling to give advice lightly, or perhaps wanting some benefit in return.
Yan Shouyi scratched his head.
Send a red envelope?
The maximum amount for a red envelope was two hundred yuan, which might be considered an insult to these influential figures.
But now they were thousands of miles apart. Besides sending red envelopes, what else could be used to bribe them?
As Yan Shouyi was worrying, Long Feicheng turned around and said to Yan Shouyi with a smile,
"Yan Ge, I reckon Tranquil and Far-Reaching must be an older unmarried woman. Judging by her posts a few days ago, she's quite resentful. Moreover, she's been waiting at the station in Bingzhou for the past two days without seeing our father, so she's even angrier. We are the ones who provided the information, so if she didn't get to see our father, she definitely won't give us a good look."
"It seems you've researched the group members quite thoroughly," Yan Shouyi said. "Then tell me, how can we get this old lady to open up?"
"Isn't that simple!" Long Feicheng smiled and held up his phone. "I'll take a picture for you, and you can send it to the group, saying that our two martial brothers have captured Yan Chou's son. Wouldn't they be ecstatic?"
