But having said that, Wang Ling didn't dislike Immortal Toya because he was a pretty good brother. Because he was a pretty good brother, Wang Ling had left his good looks as an option for bonus points, but he had left this option at the very end.
This was a world where looks mattered, but Wang Ling didn't care about looks. Appearance wasn't important to Wang Ling. Because his face could be pinched without surgery; he could do whatever he wanted. Because he had been too handsome and popular with his classmates as a child, Wang Ling had modified his face many times at a very young age, adjusting it to average according to the public's aesthetic standards each year.
Wang Ling's current appearance was probably above average, and that was enough.
What was the use of being good-looking?! At critical moments, he could only sing: "Look at this face, it's long and wide, just like this bowl, it's big and round …"
The reason why Wang Ling felt that Immortal Toya was a good person was because he felt that this person was pretty good at getting things done. They had just met face to face the last time, and Immortal Toya had already pretty much figured out Wang Ling's character.
As Immortal Toya drove, his heart was as clear as a mirror. This Ling Zhenren didn't like to talk, and even if he had a question, he was too lazy to move his lips. Telepathy was his most common method of communication.
But sometimes, it had to be said that telepathy was actually pretty awkward. If there were no outsiders present, it would be fine. In a situation where there were outsiders around, if someone used telepathy to communicate with you, only to see you talking to yourself, Immortal Toya had always felt that this was a little silly …
And if the two of them didn't speak and completely communicated telepathically, it would be even more awkward. Furthermore, this was a pretty impolite behavior, which stemmed from the thousand-year-old Taoist etiquette that cultivators had practiced. If a senior spoke telepathically to you, as a junior, you absolutely couldn't keep your mouth shut and not answer.
So, in view of this situation, Immortal Toya had figured out a way to be friendly with Ling Zhenren and ease the awkwardness of carrying out a mission without losing decorum … That was to learn to take the initiative, think through the problem comprehensively, guess what this Senior Ling wanted to ask, and then explain it one by one.
Wang Ling personally quite liked this method. Now that Immortal Toya was by his side, not only did he not have to move his lips, he could even give up on thinking …
"Senior Ling, we're going to the Xiao Family Compound now," Immortal Toya said as he drove.
Xiao Family Compound?
Wang Ling hadn't expected this to be a familiar place.
He suddenly remembered that when Lotus Sun had asked him out, there had been a small bit of trouble. Now that he thought about it carefully, that day had probably been the beginning of all his grudges with Shadow Stream.
"The Lightning King in the group works in the Xiao Family Compound." Immortal Toya continued, "Dharmaraja's godly thunder inheritance is a holy relic. He is the last descendant of the Thunder clan, and the heir to this holy relic."
Wang Ling raised his eyebrows. If Immortal Toya hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about this thing. This was a sacred treasure left behind by the various ancient clans during the Great Dou Qi Era. It was called a sacred relic by the common people, and only the descendants of the ancient clans could inherit it. However, more than half of the descendants of the 12 Ancient Clans had disappeared, and the whereabouts of many sacred relics were unknown.
Wang Ling's understanding of Lightning Dharmaraja had been limited. He had never expected this Dharmaraja to actually be a descendant of the Thunder clan, and to have even inherited a holy relic … Wang Ling had always thought that this Dharmaraja was an educator!
"The outside world has actually misunderstood Dharmaraja all these years. Dharmaraja used the godly thunder inheritance to cure a lot of teenagers who were addicted to virtual games. After all, cultivation is also about doing good deeds and accumulating merit … but that isn't Dharmaraja's main business. " Immortal Toya explained solemnly, "Dharmaraja's real job is in the Xiao Family Compound, where he works."
Wang Ling: "???"
Immortal Toya: "The buildings in the Xiao Family Compound are all antiques, and sometimes they're damaged even if modern scientific methods are used to repair them. But the godly thunder inheritance can break down and reassemble the broken parts, and can even weld them together. So Dharmaraja is actually a repair engineer. Furthermore, he's specially employed by the Xiao Family Compound. "
Wang Ling: "…"
…
This was the second time he came to the Xiao Family Compound. This time, Lotus Sun wasn't around, and Wang Ling couldn't use the green passage. But he could use the internal staff passage …
Dharmaraja called the security office at the entrance, and the security guard opened the gate to let the two of them in together.
Speaking of which, there weren't many visitors in the Xiao Family Compound today. Since many of the scenic spots were under maintenance, a lot of customers who had bought tickets for the three-day tour chose to take a break today. Of course, the Xiao Family Compound also gave everyone compensation, which was a five-hundred-yuan voucher for the Xiao Family Compound's barbecue shop.
This barbecue shop was owned by the Xiao clan, and the biggest difference between it and the other barbecue shops outside was that it used an Unusual Flame to roast meat, which gave it a different flavor.
The security guard uncle very generously gave Immortal Toya and Wang Ling a voucher each. "You can use it once you spend a thousand yuan or more. You can use as many vouchers as you want for the next three days."
"Is this really okay?"
Immortal Toya accepted the voucher and was a little embarrassed. "We're just here to look for someone …"
"It doesn't matter, I still have a lot here!" The security guard uncle shook his head and went back to his little pavilion to his desk. Immortal Toya took a look, and when he pulled open the drawer, he saw stacks of vouchers in denominations of five hundred yuan. The most important thing was that there was no date on these vouchers!
"The higher-ups printed too many vouchers and left all the extra ones with me. These vouchers will last me for several months. " After saying that, the security guard uncle rubbed his beer belly. "I've been working here for so long, I'm finally getting some benefits. Look at how thin I've become …"
Wang Ling: "…"
…
…
After officially entering the Xiao Family Compound, Dharmaraja took the initiative to send Immortal Toya a text message to say that he was still doing maintenance at Treasure Cliff. It would be at least an hour before he could come out.
Looking at the time, Immortal Toya exhaled and looked at Wang Ling. "Senior, how about we go to the barbecue shop to eat something first? Two vouchers, it'd be a waste not to use them! "
Wang Ling didn't say anything, and just nodded in agreement.
But when he arrived at the Xiao clan's barbecue shop, he found that there was already a long line of big-name customers at the entrance … as long as you spent a thousand yuan, you could use the five-hundred-yuan voucher as collateral; in theory, you could eat for free.
This kind of compensation was nothing for a nouveau riche family like the Xiao clan.
And this directly led to the unprecedented scene at the entrance …
This scene reminded Wang Ling of a popular gourmet shop he had visited before, which was famous for selling green dumplings.
