In a seemingly ordinary yard, there were many plants planted. There were grass and flowers, but most of them were edible vegetables.
These weren't plant-type dimensional creatures, but the most ordinary Earth plants.
"Do you still need to wear a mask at home?" Zhou Wen asked Faceless Buddha who was sitting on a stone bench in the yard.
"I just don't want to scare others." As Faceless Buddha spoke, he took off his mask, revealing a face that wasn't ugly, but it was extremely ferocious. Just a glance from him could send chills down one's spine.
"Ah!" When Hui Play saw the face, he immediately retreated in fright as though he had seen a ferocious serial killer.
This person known as Faceless Buddha was none other than Zhou Wen's classmate, Gu Dian. In the past, Gu Dian was also a member of the Xuanwen Club. Even Zhou Wen never expected him to become the famous Faceless Buddha of Fireworks Alley.
"Why did you come here and become a Faceless Buddha?" Zhou Wen ignored the terrified Hui Play and asked Gu Dian.
"To survive." Gu Dian spoke very casually as though it was an extremely normal matter, but Zhou Wen could sense the pain and helplessness contained within.
"Ah Cai!" Just as Zhou Wen was about to say something, Hui Play shouted excitedly.
Zhou Wen turned his head and saw Hui Play excitedly rushing towards a beautiful girl in a cloak. Zhou Wen finally saw the legendary Ah Cai.
She was a delicate and gentle woman who seemed to be less than 20 years old. Her smile was so sweet that it made people feel warm when they saw her.
"Ah Cai, don't be afraid. I'll protect you." Hui Play mustered his courage and stood in front of Ah Cai. He glanced at Gu Dian and his legs turned limp again. However, he didn't retreat and continued to persist.
"Little Play, no one will hurt me," Ah Cai said gently as she stroked Hui Play's head.
"Didn't he force you to come here?" Hui Play wanted to point at Gu Dian, but after taking a glance at him, he didn't dare point.
"No, I was the one who willingly came here with him. Although he looks fierce, he's very nice and gentle," Ah Cai said.
"You don't have to be afraid. I … Zhou Wen and I will protect you." Hui Play didn't believe it. Gu Dian didn't look like a very gentle person.
"Take him out to play," Gu Dian said to Ah Cai.
Ah Cai responded and took Hui out of the small courtyard.
Only then did Gu Dian say to Zhou Wen, "Is it a coincidence that you came here, or did you specially come to find me?"
"What a coincidence. After I returned to the academy, I inquired about your whereabouts, but no one knew where you were. What exactly happened? How did you become a Faceless Buddha? " Zhou Wen activated the Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder and Brahma. One blocked the nomological powers that might exist, and the other prevented anyone from eavesdropping on their conversation.
Gu Dian said, "Many factions need a place to conduct transactions. And the person presiding over this place has to have nothing to do with any party. At the same time, he has to be trusted by many parties."
"It shouldn't be difficult to find such a person," Zhou Wen said.
"It's not difficult to find such a person, but there aren't many who aren't human," Gu Dian said expressionlessly.
Zhou Wen couldn't help but fall silent. Half of Gu Dian's bloodline didn't belong to humans. Although Zhou Wen and the members of the Xuanwen Club didn't mind, he would still be classified as an anomaly among the entire human population.
However, Gu Dian didn't seem to mind as he continued, "Most importantly, the dimension also needs an inhuman person like me to work for them. That's why I can become the Faceless Buddha of Fireworks Alley."
"Dimension?" Zhou Wen's body trembled.
If Gu Dian were to join the dimension, how would Gu Dian fare when Zhou Wen fought the dimension in the future?
"There are some things here. Take a look. After you're done, destroy it. If there's nothing else, don't come again." Gu Dian took out a bag and handed it to Zhou Wen.
"What is it?" Zhou Wen asked.
"Take a look for yourself when you get back." With that said, Gu Dian stood up and walked out of the yard.
Seeing that he was determined to send him off, Zhou Wen had no choice but to put away the bag and get up to walk out of the yard with Gu Dian.
"Ah Cai, you really don't have to be afraid. I'll definitely save you." Hui Play still didn't believe that Ah Cai had stayed here willingly.
Just as Ah Cai was about to explain, Gu Dian grabbed Hui Play's head and raised him in front of him.
"Come on. I'm not afraid of you. I want to save Ah Cai." Hui Play punched and kicked in the air, but his tiny arms and legs couldn't touch Gu Dian at all.
"Come back when you have the ability to save her." Gu Dian casually threw Hui Play to the ground. Hui Play's buttocks were about to split into eight pieces as he cried out in pain.
Then, Gu Dian returned to the yard with Ah Cai and the door was closed. Hui Play gritted his teeth and got up, but he didn't chase after them, nor did he clamor to save Ah Cai.
"Let's go back." Zhou Wen left Fireworks Alley with Hui Play. This time, Hui Play didn't insist on staying.
This time, when they passed by Fireworks Alley, everyone consciously made way for them.
Not long after walking out of Fireworks Alley, Hui Play suddenly asked Zhou Wen seriously, "Faceless Buddha is very polite to you. You must be very powerful, right?"
"It's so-so. It's passable," Zhou Wen said with a shrug.
"Who's stronger, you or Faceless Buddha?" Hui Play asked again.
"I've never competed, so I don't know. Why are you asking this?" Zhou Wen looked at Hui Play in surprise.
"I want to defeat Faceless Buddha. No one in the Hui family can be stronger than Faceless Buddha. I want you to teach me. Feel free to state any conditions you have. As long as it's within my means, I'll do it." Hui Play's face was very serious.
"I don't lack money," Zhou Wen said with a smile.
Hui Play immediately panicked as he hurriedly said, "Do you have a Companion Beast or Mythical Fluid you want? I can think of a way to help you obtain it. "
"Can you obtain such a Companion Beast? If you can obtain it, I'll teach you. "Zhou Wen summoned Banana Fairy.
Hui Play watched as Banana Fairy's beautiful figure gradually disappeared from his sight and couldn't help but widen his eyes. A humanoid Terror-grade Companion Beast?
"How about it? Do you still want to learn from me? "Zhou Wen said with a smile.
Hui Play lowered his head, but he quickly raised it again and said with a serious expression, "I can work for you. I'm still very young. I can't obtain such a Companion Beast now, but in ten or twenty years, I'll definitely be able to obtain it. In these ten years … No … twenty years … I can work for you …"
Seeing that Zhou Wen's expression didn't change, Hui Play continued guiltily, "Why don't … thirty years …"
"If you were to work for me for the rest of your life, would you be willing?" Zhou Wen asked Hui Play with a smile.
Hui Play's body trembled, but his gaze quickly turned firm. He looked at Zhou Wen and said, "If you can guarantee to help me defeat Faceless Buddha, I can work for you for the rest of my life."
Zhou Wen looked at Hui Play in surprise and asked, "Is Ah Cai that important to you?"
"It's not just for Ah Cai. I can't let my family be hurt like Ah Cai. I want to have the power to protect them. Money can't do it," Hui Play said.
